The aboriginal spear fisherman is using a woomera to launch his spear. Similar to those ball throwers you exercise dogs with except the woomera has been around for god knows how many thousands of years. It gives the spear enhanced speed, range and accuracy. Our rocket testing facility is called, you guessed it, Woomera.

I am not sure how often the road trains make trips on roads like this but I would hope that it is not very often; I don't think I'd like to be ingesting dust while being buffeted around in the back of a truck on a hot day. But there is good news for us animal lovers. The beef industry in northern Australia represents 64% of the total Australian beef cattle herd. Queensland alone accounts for some 11.3 million head, or 45% of the total Australian cattle population, whereas the Northern Territory totals approximately 2.1 million head or 8% of the total Australian cattle population. Based on those numbers alone one would think that the roads that they use to transport large numbers of cattle around would be sealed. In any case, it's good to know that the Northern Australia Beef Roads Program, which is a suite of projects designed to deliver targeted upgrades to key roads for transporting cattle in northern Australia, is well under way. Funding by the Australian Government is up to 80% of total costs, with the remainder being met by state, territory and local governments. The initial funding allocation by the Australian Government was $100 million, most of which has now (in April 2022) been expended on the identified projects, most of which have been completed or are nearing completion.

Bill Morgan had an accident in his work truck, had a heart attack at the scene then the ambulance paramedics gave him a shot of something to revive him but turns out he was allergic to that and had another heart attack, so they put him in an induced coma till his body settled from the trauma. Shortly after being released from hospital, his wife told him to buy a lottery ticket to celebrate his luck (from not dying) so he bought the first ticket he came across and that was to win a brand new Toyota Corolla... and he won. That was when his wife took the story to the media and you saw what happened next.

[@katetoner3077]

I used to have bantam mallard ducks and there was a time when I found a couple dead, and the snake had found them too big and he spat them out!

[@grandmothergoose]

@@katetoner3077 That can happen, but it's rare because it can be harmful to the snake to do it, and snakes aren't totally stupid, they don't measure up their meals, but they do have a pretty good idea what will fit down their throat. Snakes are very vulnerable whilst eating and so will give up their desired meal if they're being harassed whilst trying to swallow it. If your other ducks were picking on a snake whilst it was trying to eat, it would regurgitate whatever it was trying to swallow in order to escape. That's far more likely the reason than it found the ducks too big to eat.

[@tropicsalt.]

The snake might have had a tail handing out of its mouth for a while. I watched one eat a large Goanna, beautiful but slow process.

The bull catchers is a TV show and it's fabulous. Women catch them as well. Quite an eye opener how the bull catchers live. Amazing people! ❤❤

[@RobNMelbourne]

The snake eating a croc is REAL. This happened in 2014 at Lake Moondarra, Mount Isa in NW Queensland where I grew up as a kid. The snake is an Olive Python which is quite common in the rivers and lakes in northern Aus. The croc is not a dangerous 'salty' it is just a juvenile 'freshy'. Freshies are much smaller, more timid and only eat fish but it was great for the cameras and sensationalised for overseas TV. The pic only shows the end where the snake ate the croc. The real drama was the fight and strangulation that went on for hours before. The croc is dead at this stage, having been crushed by the python. The snake lived and didn't need to eat for a long time. I used to swim and canoe in Lake Moondarra. I loved growing up there ... never a dull moment. When I was about 11 yrs old, I was swimming in the Gregory River at Gregory Downs Station and an Olive Python brushed up against my back and swam past me before I even knew it was there. It couldn't have been hungry as it left me alone and kept on swimming. True story. 😎

I have been a mechanic on a few stations, the bull catches have been around since the 50s early ones were made using dodge weapon carriers newer ones Toyotas normally end of life vehicles, ringers are a curse they can roll anything. Motors and gearboxes are chained in because the chassis are stupid bent from abuse. I used to lock them in low range to keep the speed down the collar is either a lever or the new flash ones are electro hydraulic. If you can get more than 4 seasons out of one you are doing well . They pay for themselves on the first muster the armour can be mostly transferred from vehicle to vehicle with lots of choice words , a oxy and sledgehammer often a welder helps . If you can you should go up on a chopper during a muster those guys are crazy but incredible pilots the places i have seen them put a chopper skid would make your eyes water .

[@bar-d1423]

It’s great watching helicopters mustering. They no longer do it on horseback! Even more recently graziers have started mustering with water. They progressively turn off the water sources, and the cattle follow the ones that are working until they are gathered at the mustering point. Then that truck you saw on the Plenty Highway was a cattle truck - they transport the cattle to town.

[@MickFoyle]

Aerial mustering, which involves using helicopters to herd cattle, is a hazardous activity. Between 2008 and 2017, there were 15 fatalities in aerial mustering crashes in Australia. The accident rate has been decreasing, but it remains a risky endeavour due to the low-level flying and the inherent dangers of the job. For instance, a recent tragic incident occurred at Mount Anderson Station in Western Australia, where two pilots lost their lives after their helicopters collided shortly after take-off.

People don't appreciate that Australian aborigines were the leaders in aeronautics ... they invented the woomera (used here in this video at 13:10) which was the world's first missile launcher, thousands of years before any other culture. They also invented a stick that came back to you when you threw it away, the boomerang. How crazy is that. 😎

[@PBMS123]

calling it a missile launcher is a little far..... It's just an extension of your arm, to give you better speed and linear velocity. Sling's were invented tens of thousands of years ago, and work on the same principle.

[@RobNMelbourne]

@@PBMS123 It’s a lever, a mechanical catapult, which amplifies the primary force, his arm. Go and study physics. Leonardo da Vinci understood the launching power of the lever. The Woomera has long been called the world’s first missile launcher even by rocket scientists. Just because it predates gunpowder and propellants doesn't mean it is not a launcher. Australia’s rocket and missile test site at Woomera in South Australia, founded in the 1950s as an Anglo-Australian military site to test rockets, missiles and nuclear weapons, is named after it for that very reason. The site is now known as RAAF Woomera Range Complex and still used to test locally designed HIMARS and other missiles and rockets. It is rocket science whether you understand or not. 😁

[@butchphillips873]

@@RobNMelbourne Woomera was established in 1947. Other cultures had the woomera also.

[@RobNMelbourne]

@@butchphillips873 Yes, Woomera was established in 1947 but initially it was just used for artillery testing. The first rocket/missile launch was not until 1957 with the Black Knight which was a test ballistic missile and part of the British Blue Streak missile project. My comment was in the context of missiles and rocket launches. Woomera also became famous in 1956 as the base for the Aus-Brit atomic tests at Maralinga. Other cultures certainly had similar devices for the same purpose. The Aztecs had the atlatl (similar to the woomera), the ancient Romans and Greeks had a leather sling that fulfilled the same purpose - don't forget the biblical story of David and his sling bring down Goliath. All similar but different but they weren't called a woomera, that is an aboriginal word from the tribe in the Sydney area. Aborigines and Aztec/Mayans were probably the first to invent the device. Archeological records put the use of the woomera being in common widespread use 4,000 years ago which predates any European or Middle Eastern use. Mungo Man's skeletal remains (43,000 years) show signs of osteoarthritis in the elbow which is a condition associated with use of the woomera.

Australia's Highway 1 is a network of highways that circumnavigate the country, joining all mainland capital cities except the national capital of Canberra. At a total length of approximately 14,500 km (9,000 mi) it is the longest national highway in the world, surpassing the Trans-Siberian Highway (over 11,000 km or 6,800 mi) and the Trans-Canada Highway (8,030 km or 4,990 mi).

ALL my life, born 1957, i've lived in various semi rural places all around Australia due to dad being in the Airforce and posted to different bases. We most often drove there on outback roads and interior highways. All dirt then, apart from the Gun Barrel highway up the centre. So I've lived out amongst fields for acres around due to airforce bases needing potential emergency crash landing sites of sparse pooulation. I've seen stock animals loaded and unloaded at farms and abbatoirs in all conditions and various climatic weathers. I've seen in earlier years, many trucks loaded with fallen animals and travelled behind these stock trucks and passed them when the driver has been able to let us. Like looking at a horror show behind bars and planks. When I was 7 I stated I didn't want to eat animals anymore and of course was told "No." At 14 in early 70s, when vegetarianism was not thought of as trendy but as a personal decision and there was no such thing as vegetarian meals (you just ate the vegies and no meat) I became a vegetarian. Though I still ate fish so as to ease my parents worries. Now there are delicious vegetarian meals everywhere but it was pretty boring before the late eighties. So definitely not just a virtue signalling fad as thought of today. Now it is possible to produce no kill meat with stem cells but the Big Economy would suffer from all of the by sales product businesses that go along with it. Big Ag, Big Corps win again and people can barely afford to eat meat as regularly as they used to now. Also meat contaminated purposely for higher yeild, as well as with pesticides in herd feed. Factory farming is worse cruelty than even the old days. Anyhow, enough of me and my hobby horse. Each to their own.

Did you ever see any UFOs your dad in airforce and living different places in the middle of nowhere. 🙏🙏🙏

[@kevo6190]

Those chopper pilots get so low they are down between the trees bumping the Scrub Bulls with the skids. Certified Maniacs!😮🤘🤠

[@anthonyhoiland1931]

Mustering cattle - bull catchers

[@endotherm]

Imagine the truck navigating those ruts in the wet!

[@stephenkirton9921]

Next to impossible

[@top40researcher31]

At first i thought the snake was slowing up a tree branch lol

[@IanDarley]

Rolls-Royce have used stationary center caps on the wheels for years. Maybe they are just showing off how strong and fast the active suspension is?

[@stephenkirton9921]

I reckon it's CGI and if it's not I don't understand why you would want to have that sort of thing on a supercar, carrying extra weight probably compromise the handling. That sort of nonsense belongs on a low rider!

[@richardparker56]

I think I’ve seen this jumping on(maybe) a Mercedes G Wagon. Maybe I’m wrong! But an off roader to bounce its way out of stuck in a hole. But why on a supercar??? I don’t know?! Chinese! They eat weird stuff! Why? I don’t know!!! Let them eat weird stuff and bounce supercars! If that makes them happy then enjoy!! I’d love a 1991 Proton 1.3 GLS but rear wheel drive! Nobody else would!! But let me live my life!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jumping supercars???? Who knows!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@IanDarley]

@@richardparker56 It's purely a gimmick, just found this "One such trick driving on just three wheels for short periods in case of a tire blowout, just like the old DS. The U9 probably can’t drive on three wheels for long, but it’s enough to get its driver home or to a repair shop in a pinch. However, the U9’s main party trick is its vertical leap. The suspension system can raise or lower the car at each corner independently, but if it raises each corner quickly, the kinetic energy is enough to jump the U9 an inch or two off the ground. If you’re wondering what the practical application for hopping a car is, stop being a square. It’s just cool." < No it is not cool!

[@ianmontgomery7534]

It is able to raise itself up to go over speedhumps. The jump is probably not intentional.

[@Duchess_of_Cadishead]

I can assure you, I am no paid actor, have lived in Australia for 60 years and have travelled around much of it. Australia is definitely real. lol.

[@RobNMelbourne]

The Plenty Hwy runs through eastern Northern Territory to NW Queensland. When it reaches the Qld border it changes name to the Donohue Hwy and then heads SE to meet the sealed road at Boulia. Then they would take the sealed road to Longreach to put the cattle on the railway. The dust the roadtrain is troughing up is called Bulldust. It is like fine talcum powder and no matter how tight your windows are closed it will get into your vehicle.

[@stephenkirton9921]

Yeah that stuff gets in everything you can have a good sealing esky inside the car and you'll have dust on top of your tinnies and crunchy sandwiches haha

[@stephenkirton9921]

I crossed from Perth to Sydney and took some "shortcuts" I was cleaning red dust out of my XY Falcon for about 9mths

[@redhammer9910]

The dust being thrown up by the road train is called bull dust. Bull dust is finely ground earth that builds up in lower portions and potholes of the roads surface. You cannot see the potholes nor the uneven road because of it. It is by far the greatest cause of vehicle damage and next to wildlife the greatest cause of vehicle and truck crashes. Have a closer look at the trucks tyres, you can see how deep the dust is. Storms on the West coast often produce stunning lightening displays. The vehicles capturing the cattle is a common sight right across the top end. Mostly hacked down old Toyotas. The meteor video. Look closely how the meteorite slows then just drops to the ground towards the end. I can tell you exactly what's happening because I was close by as a parent on my children's school excursion. As the meteor slowed and just dropped it was still burning with a loud crackling sound. It was a turquoise green/blue. We all just stood there in amazement as it slowly descended around a kilometer away. The kids were thrilled. That's a good little video that one, well done on finding it.

[@SueNicholls-95]

During my 5 years of travelling in and around Australia. Driving on bulldust reminded me of driving in deep talcum powder. It's awful!!

[@wayne9080]

I've crossed the plenty, hwy, it's in the centre of Australia! Windorah to Alice Springs!

I'm still waiting for my paycheck😂

[@christopherfarmer478]

our trucks are bouilt different than american trucks they are litteraly american and european trucks combined

[@NocnaGlizda]

06:00 - Automobile cowboys. Let's fcken go! 15:47 - And why can lowriders dance? So many questions. Because they can ;D

[@markrowley8177]

When you go through that BULL DUST!!! It swishes up under the wheel arch and sounds exactly like driving through water.

[@wallywombat164]

I love people's imagination. E.G. What if he's in a coma? HAHAHA.

[@gbsailing9436]

iWrocker (Ian), what MOST people don't consider about the Kookaburra is that is SOUNDS like it is doing it all with one breath. NOPE! I've listened to a continuous call of a Kookaburra last for over 2 minutes. Look at the SIZE of their body! There is NO WAY they can keep up the laugh for over 2 minutes in a single breath!!! Give that some thought!!!!

[@lesflynn4455]

No idea why anyone would want to bunny hop a car. It's undoubtedly an EV thing, and uses large amounts of energy. I would never spec a car with such a stupid gimmick. Steer clear of this car, folks.

[@AaronColbert-f3w]

Malcolm Douglas did movie about cattle mustering years back 70's or 80's check him out so many adventures

[@Leon-mn6fn]

I recon that Chinese car designers had a lot of MEXICAN IN THEM???

Watching your channel is always a fascinating and educational journey. Keep leading us into the world of your creativity and inspiring us!🐕🎇🟡

[@lesflynn4455]

Wow. 4 full sized livestock trailers driving on a "road" comprised of bulldust. Seeing a fully decked out Kenworth prime mover like that bouncing around is not a good sign. That driver would be having a shocker of a day. Let alone all the poor animals being hauled in it. Holy about I just saw the bit with the map link. That's nearly as remote as it gets in the outback. That is a busted ass location. If you break down, you're in trouble.

[@DavG_NZ]

16:30 Apparently a number of Luxury brands like Rolls-Royce have been using center caps like that for a few decades. (I read somewhere that it's weighted on the bottom to Always remain upright)

[@christinehamilton35]

The snake eating a crocodile was filmed in Lake Moondarra Mount Isa in western Queensland. It's a public lake with boating, fishing etc. Videos are available on the net. The snake won the battle.

[@jackofalltrades5761]

Oh and that truck thing is probably from a show called Outback Truckers.

[@RobNMelbourne]

Self centring or floating wheel/axel caps have been around for 10+ years. They were introduced on up market car brands like RR and Bentley at first. Other brands adopted them for their top of the line models - Mercedes Maybach, Land Rover and I think some Cadillacs have them too. A bit of an expensive gimmick imho.

[@neilshepherd1904]

There is dust, and then there are those pockets of bulldust of varying depth. So dry and fine-grained it's like talcum powder.
