Hi Jonny 💎✨🌅✨💎✨😀😘😀👍❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥✨THANK FOR SHOWING and sharing and capturing on film some of the fabulous history of Australia and the trucking industry in Australia roads places people you like many others of captured it on film with generations to come. Most people don’t realise that but it’s absolutely fabulous mate. I started off siding in the 70s. As a kid for my grandfather he learned how to drive trucks in the Australian military after the war he started to work machinery and then become a long haul truck driver up and down the east coast and then in the 80s I started to offside for one of my uncles Can to Melbourne just off siding body trucks and on the big old rigid then in the 90s so I did a bit of driving Cairns to Sydney yeah I’m semi retired It’s hard to beat mate. The freedom behind the wheel. Sign up the sunset back then it was all night long. Thanks for sharing all your adventures across this wide great land of Australia. Have a good one mate. Enjoy the adventure

Gotta get college done and get my HGV first but definitely a new thing added to my bucket list! Safe travels mate and that Kenworth, what a beauty she is!!

I enjoyed this trip. You showed a lot of the road stops to see all the different options for food, etc. I also thought the time lapse was cool. One thing I would like to see is you actually eating dinner and talking about the food.

Dad was one of the Ten pound Pomms back in the early 60's. He never made it, he got more and more homesick and returned back to England after a couple of years. Met my mum in '66 and I was born in '69. It's been one of my life regrets that dad never made a life for himself down under. Then I would have been born in this beautiful country instead of the UK. I've never even visited.

Very enjoyable. Roadhouse tour of Australia. I remember when these places were generally far less extravagant. As you say they all have an American feel to them now. As does Australia itself. The old truck stops, tin shed in a paddock, are getting scarce now. More likely to be a museum. People can't go far now without connectivity. They may miss a celebrity tweet about their breakfast. I would be quite happy on the road. No one to pester me, admiring the countryside and nature. Thought of you the other day driving out of my little town. Parked in a lay by was a Lunbar Transport truck. Don't often see them in my part of Queensland.

G'day, This will make me sound old, but I remember when...Tobaco farming was a big thing in the late 70s. Then the demand dropped due to several factors.

One big thing was increased profits. It just goes to show that we need to adjust to a changing world.

[@NecroViolator]

Who pays for the fuel ? Company or is it from your pocket ? Whats the horse power on the beautiful truck ? Wish I could get one and drive and haul in the States .. Thanks for the video !!..

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

The company pays for everything to do with the truck. It's 620hp.

[@NecroViolator]

@@RoadTrainAdventures Awesome :D... yeh watch alot of American Truckers and Auzie Truckers and saw that you were the nicest and best to watch... Thanks for the answer : !!...

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh very nice. Well it's great to have you along.

[@malcolmduncan3047]

AT 27:27 there is a Police Arial Enforcement sign. In the 1980's they tried it, so the truckies called them 'Pigs in Space' (a reference to the popular Muppet Show, at the time) ... lol

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Ha ha. Very good

[@Nutty-w2k]

Hey mate I was parked up at BP Eastern Creek around 2 weeks ago I think I seen your truck there...I had a little look around for you but no luck....you may have been resting up or in shower maybe was another driver and not you....stay safe out there, if I knew how to do this KZbin stuff I would probably have a go myself, with the work I do is very versatile all sorts of different loads and trailers, most places will probably let me film. Only thing is I mostly run east coast so that may get boring to viewers....

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yeah start a KZbin channel. Remember Ken from the Homeless Trucky on it does the east coast so have a go. Sorry that I missed you. That would have been me.

[@c3ros604]

Sir you need go pro by your front wheels facing back. 😅

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes I should do more of those shots.

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Yes, great little tour, thanks Johno. Check out "Electric Trucker" - a Euro video...nice guy, like you.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh OK. I might have to.

[@thisnthat3530]

12:10 that ute is going the wrong way down the exit to enter the round about.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes someone else pointed that out too.

[@andrewb2326]

The road at Marulan is cracked so bad. Seems really odd it hasnt been fixed after all these years.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

It's ridiculous how bad that section is.
