Absolutely the drone shots really add so much to this video-you've really got some awesome shots. Thanks for taking the time to keep us all entertained!
Love your work mate! I really love the drone footage, it really adds to the video, I was blown away by them, especially when you're turning into and out of the corners, it kinda acts like another person which adds another perspective. I really love it mate!! Keep up the awesome work!! Stay safe in the roads, we couldn't live without our truckies!!
Stumbled on this video great work with the drone and footage. I did the Nullarbor few years back and each stop you filmed brought back memories, thank you
What an informative video, easily one of the best I have seen covering the Nullarbor. The amount of extra time you devoted with starting and stopping to show us the sights, especially from the drone shots is brilliant. Thank you!
I'm a very young 60. Just got my MR - bit of a baby licence compared, but... Wow..!!! Talk about motivatioin - I mean throwing a bus around a corner is one thing, a heavy one another, a three-tiered train is out of this world. Respects... And not a damaged pole in sight. I mean wooden things, not my relo's...
I really appreciate your work and İ'm aware for the extra effort you make during your trips. Made even my wife a fan of your videos☺️. Greetings from TURKEY🇹🇷
I met him while traveling in Perth. While lying on the lawn beside the fence of the loading area, I watched from loading to departure. He gave me a thumbs up as we were leaving. I was able to spend the day very comfortably. Stay healthy and keep up the good work. Thank you from my friend.
Love your videos retired driver from California one day would to drive across Australia .. your my Hero Keep the videos coming I sit in dialysis and watch your videos.
You was a part of rockn roll trucking, very nice movie again, next you sell out popcorn and coke because your movies are on the way filling up the night. Tip Top Super, thank you.
Each to his own - I loved the music (75 retired, did some driving ) and drone work. The sheer expanse of land and distance you can cover is incredible. First of your videos, will seek out more. Thanks for the ‘armchair travel!’ Phil - Suffolk U.K.
Appreciate you taking the extra time to take us along on the journey. As someone from the UK the size of Australia is difficult to wrap my head around!
I'm fairly new to the channel, just dropping comment saying I really enjoyed this. Nice mix of footage and some good tunes. Thanks for putting it together.
Yeah gidday mate..thanks for the journey mate..enjoyed the trip on my couch here in Kiwiland..great viewing ill never get to experience personally.. Subscribed so I look forward to hitching a ride on the next one..Kia Ora..
cool I also did my long drive 39 hours 3677 km with my subaru forester from Bunbury to Canberra. As someone who follows your posts I'm very thankful for your post and has helped me with selecting my routes. cheers n safe driving
That's awesome to have more people watching from the USA. I've been watching some truckie channels over there and it's interesting to see the differences.
Just stumbled upon your Channel, and subbed, all I can say is WOW, that was enjoyable to watch, you sure have some big long trucks in Australia. Nice to see the bangers and mash, reminds me all the time when I see that of my little island called GB 🇬🇧, thanks for the tour. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
BP Norseman is a nightmare. When I go through there I head into town proper but obviously that is not going to be practical with a truck. I was interested to see you took the back roads north of the highway through the Wheatbelt. I am originally from the UK and have travelled all over the world but country and outback WA, especially the Goldfields is for me the most beautiful place. I am not even sure why but I just love it. You capture the character of the country very well I think.
Respect! I only drive a Mitsubishi Fuso latched onto a 40 ft 9" high container in Singapore. We don't have these road monsters here since our roads are over-populated and space is scarce here. Reversing containers into tight areas in customer's premises and warehouses are what we face daily as a prime mover driver.
Loved this, great to see all the stuff you’re adding to these videos. Drone shots are still great. I’d dial the music back one notch if I’m being dead picky but only suggested it because the rest of the quality is so good.
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 John, I'm a trucker in the UK I've been doing it just over 20 years, I love your videos there very informative and interesting. Australia is beautiful and so is your Kenny, I'm jealous I would love to have your truck and I've always dreamed ever since I was a kid that I would love to drive roadtrains, but at least with your videos I feel like I'm there with you ( I mean that in a non creepy way). I'm definitely subscribing John please keep the videos coming there brilliant. Oh by the way BP garages are a rip off in the UK to
I would love to have a drive in Europe one day. In a video coming up I'll have to give more audio to the truck engine. I'm getting that request a little lately.
Hey John another amazing video, I know this is from last year sometime. The man in that red bike at 13:05 was doing a charity event called Indipac riding from Fremantle to Sydney. I met him as he passed through Albury/wodonga
Excellent stuff you have pointed out a lot of stuff that new Drivers need to know when i drove in the 80,s as drivers we had to do every thing even service the Truck we drove wash them do our tyres etc. Love your Drone shots keep it up thanks
Thanks Wayne. If you watch my next video about going to the Top of Australia I show how I diagnosed and fix my electrical problem with my air con. I didn't want to travel up north with no air con.
Nice to see your rigs,roads and roadhouses ,big wave from the east coast Canada 🇨🇦 NB province here. Not sure what your wages are there but the food prices seem high compared to ours with our dollars close in value. ($100 Canadian dollars =$110 Australia) Great content and awesome finding the short in wiring.
I am in South Africa sorry to tell you this. I want to listen to the sound the truck makes.The scenery is interesting and problems and prices of things and goodies.
Yeah I've got the engine noise in the video a few times. I don't use it all the time because I think that is boring. Music is better. A bit like watching a real movie. They don't just have the engine noise the whole movie.
You arrived at the beautiful Sutherland Shire, unloading down at Taren Point just near the mighty Cronulla Sharks home ground. Next time in Marulan, there’s a butcher shop in the old part of town (turn n before the weigh station). It sells the most fantastic meat pies, made by the butcher. You might have to ring ahead to reserve one, they’re that good and popular. Well worth it. Great video. Amazing.
Used to run 2 up melbourne to perth. I wish i had been able to stop and look around. It wasnt until i went across in a car that i could stop and have a good look around and take my time. Great vid mate. new Subscriber .
Howdy mate got luv the road train work it's a life of its own your drone footage is excellent Nealy as good as the one U did at the great Australia bite that was brilliant 👍👍👍 happy travels mate look forward to your next video cheers.
What an awesome video. Stumbled across this and wasn't disappointed! It would be awesome to drive across our great country with a knowledgeable truckie like yourself. Thanks for the video, sincerely - an impressed high school Geography teacher 👏👏👏
Yes you get some look alright. Last trip I did was in a double Becker 1972 Leyland bus. Good to Brisbane at 50 kms an hour to make into a food truck. What a journey with water pump broke twice.
The drone footage is brilliant , thanks. Just a note from my driving days .. Yamba roadhouse did have the best tasting and cheapest Soup you can buy anywhere alone that Hwy. ( I think it was $5) but things have probably changed in the last 3 years since I drove that road 4 times a week. Did Fridge work out of Adelaide to Sydney.
That joint at Norseman you stopped at showing the prices on the shelves? When you got to the Rexona at $15:50 a can everyone watching in the lounge room all at once yelled out ;Ah F**k That, x 6 people, except for meself, they all beat me! As for engine noise i used to listen to a super charged 2 stroke GM in a D7N Dodge running the Warrego between Brisbane & Toowoomba. This was back in the 90's & that truck passed every thing on the road except the bowser at the servo! When those motors were blown but not turbo'd, they had a different pitch in the exhaust note through a set of donaldson mufflers & ear plugs were the order of the day. I miss that truck & cannot recall when the needle sat on 100, if it was in kph or mph, & you still had plenty of throttle left I can assure you!!! That truck upset guys in their Stars/Kennys & espically V8 Macks gettin' rounded-up by that thing. Heck ,i was 25 & still in my hoon years back then & how times change! Another good show there Brother ,keep em' coming please!
Awesome. That truck sounded pretty good. It's all political now. You can't have anything loud. Yes the prices at Norseman are shocking. They certainly make a profit from the travellers.
Hi mate I am an interstate driver myself the thing is I have watched alot of video s of truckies but yours is just a mint good on ya just love it keep it up 😊
Road-trains and the Outback were the reason I wanted to visit Australia 🇦🇺. Fortunately, I went twice. Your checking station are similar in 🇺🇸, they call it weigh station. Cheers from 🇨🇦 Drive safe
Interesting to see the price variation. When we crossed the Nullarbor in 2018, I filled the Cruiser up in Coolgardie where it was the normal price (180 litres) topped up in Norseman where it is dear, and got right over to Ceduna without paying the stupid money. Fuel didn’t follow the Coke Price Indicator. Enjoyed the trip with you, thanks for having us along. Did you notice the windmills at Penong? For an old windmill monkey they have a good display. Jeff
Hey Mate Am a fellow roadtrain operator driving mostly from Perth to Mt Marion which is only 28ks past the Coolgardie truck bay where you parked. Also driving oversize to Onslow am new to MC driving learning from the likes of you guys Cheers keep em coming Bene 🇮🇹
Epic video, almost as big as Ben Hur. I can watch any number of these. I haven't been into WA for many years, but usually make an annual pilgrimage from Brisbane to the SA/WA border with a friend on our vintage - but very reliable - BMW motorcyles for a meet-up at the Border Village with like minded riders. Depending on which roads we travel, distance covered there and back can be over 6000km with usual time away being 10 days. What I have heard about prices on the Nullabor is that the majority of establishments are owned by the one entity who like to get their monies worth out of travellers while the other two (?) are owned by another entity who are not as greedy. But, as we all know, if people want it and they have it, it is going to cost. Keep up the good work.
Love the very informative video and the drone shots particularly the Sydney night pics. I would like a lot more engine sounds though instead of constant music. I assume you have a big Cummins under the hood so how about letting it sing and transport me back to the pre retirement days.😉👍
I've watched other videos where there was nothing but engine noise. I found it really boring. I've been getting a number of request for more engine noise so I will do so in the next video. Stay tuned.
