I really like these latest vlogs. Makes us old used-to-bees relive the roads we virtually lived on. Please do more and the longer the better.
Oh wow. Thanks Des. I'll certainly make more for your.
Thank you Jonno. We are enjoying your vlogs. Audio on your voice needs to be louder if possible. Cheers 👍😁
Yes I'll have to use a radio mike next time
@@RoadTrainAdventures Looking forward to your next vlog. Thanks 👍
Thanks Des
Another great video keep them coming. 👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome. Thanks heaps
I think this is a good addition to your library. There is a large cohort of people that like to watch ‘slow tv’ - think of the Ghan documentary, canal boats and stuff. Road trains make an ideal companion in this space.
Yes it appears that way.
Thanks Jonno , A good drive mate , Great scenery ! Scott 🌵
Thanks Scott
Gee, those Wind Turbines got me so excited I was physically sick. Bloody hell where are we heading in Australia. Great video Jono.
All the green energy.
Really liked the video. Allan
Very good. Thanks Allan

Thanks Philip. Yeah that would be a great job for him. Glad he's doing something he enjoys.

Awesome. Thanks Glenn
I love watching your videos from Perth to Brisbane and any more too come and from Sydney to Deniliquin through mildura
Thanks Geoffrey. It's always great to have you along.
Meant to say, that was one of the best longest videos you've ever done, my friend.
From William.
Mount Gambier, South Australia
Very nice. Thanks William
Great video. It would be interesting to see a video of leaving IOR Muchea and the Road Train route across to the Great Eastern Hwy.
I'll try to show it on a map some time.
@@RoadTrainAdventures thanks.
Anytime
Great video👍🏽
Thanks Malcolm
Hey Johno thanks for your blogs we are really enjoying them. Please stay safe out there all the best 😊
Awesome. Thanks again
Love this video mate.Made it to the end.More please at your leisure.
Awesome. Thanks heaps
Hey mate, if you want to know about the history of the Gladstone gaol my mother in-law was the last care taker of it until it closed to the public 2 yrs ago. Loved the video , you just stopped short of my town Caltowie. Love your videos. By the way Tina and Shane at The Flinders Rest Hotel Warnertown do awesome Beef and Chicken Shnity's there. They always look after their Truckies.
Oh your the one in Caltowie. I tried looking you up some months ago but clumsy find you. Yes I know Deb. I read supposed to do an interview with her just before it closed but she wasn't in the right mood.
@@RoadTrainAdventures no not Deb, her friend Rose! She has all the history and did all the research. They where caretakers together.
Oh. I didn't know about Rose.
Burrs is a great stop along the way. As a regular traveller to the west or FNQ I like the history of small towns and locations.
I spose you meant Burra. It is an interesting place.
For sure
Yes I guess
Great video would love to hear about Burra
Very good. I'll try to do that when I can
Great vid Johno ,i havent been to Pt Augusta for about 2 years so many changes on the Hwy well done mate.
Very nice. Thanks Andrew
Great Video once again Johnno, enjoyed the view, history is interesting but only if you have the time.👍😀
Awesome. Thanks Rick
Thanks for the ride, Johnno. I have driven the East Coast extensively and done a trip to the NT and North West WA but have never been down in that part of our extensive country. It was really great to see what the country is like down there. Look forward to a few more of this type of video. Stay safe. Cheers.👍
Awesome. Thanks for coming along
I really enjoy the video you make and also this vlogs you made are great and if you can do longer videos it would be great keeping on trucking 🚛🚛👍👍
Thanks Nick. Longer videos. These take long enough to make now.
The Newcastle to Port Hedland was amazing
Yes I liked that trip too.
Love a nice sounding engine and that is a nice sounding engine.
You sound great it in real life. Oh yeah
Damn i missed ya again in Port Augusta love the video every other truck vids on YT always skip Port Augusta and film after they visit
Oh it's hard to know where you all are
That was absolutely amazing awesome
Oh wow. Thanks James
Your welcome
thank you Johnno another great video looking forward to seeing more of these been a few years since i been across there thanks again
Sure thing. Thanks Daniel.
@@RoadTrainAdventures I noticed a couple of comments about the audio it sounded fine to me I could hear you perfectly plus the engine sound was ok I mainly watch on my laptop in full screen mode so I checked on my iPhone and Samsung both sounded fine to me and your commentary is great some operators don’t talk and makes a boring video so thanks again Johnno champion job 👍
Yeah I thought the audio of my voice was acceptable but I guess on some devices it may not sound so good.
Another great vid Johnno, great stuff mate 🙏
Awesome. Thanks Nick
Awesome asmr video, yep tell all the stories you like, very enjoyable.
Oh very nice. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the update
Anytime
Thanks for your videos i enjoy every one of them cheers 😊
Very nice. Thanks Richard
Good one
Thanks Jonathan
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
Awesome. Thanks again Andre
Keep it up I love please
I'll try
We went through Port Agutta recently on a trip to explore the peninsulars in our trusty LC79 with my homemade canopy on the back. We do it pretty simply and don’t look like a caravan. They were putting their crops in dry on the gamble it would rain soon. Barley and canola covering just about the whole Yorke Peninsular. A lot on the Eyre too.
It's a beautiful sight those crops hey?
Camera angles from all around your truck would be bloody awesome
Yes but then I might add well just make a proper video.
I enjoy these camera forward videos, as I worked out of Perth and the Mitchell depot was in Kewdale.
Always went on the Abernethy rd around to across the Great Eastern Hi way then turned off onto the Brand Hi way to Dongarra.
I followed your trip to Muchea on Google maps and found the land layout interesting.
In this video, there's some serious lighting up front.
I don't remember seeing any lighting problems? What was this?
@@RoadTrainAdventures I meant good lighting up front on the high beam.
Oh yes. These spotlights, even though they're cheap, are very good.
Another great video, I just played on the big screen while cooking dinner, audio was a little hard to hear, otherwise a cool way to see Aust. Maybe sunset over the Nullarbor would be nice. Story on the old gaol sounds good.
Thanks Phil. A sunset on the Nullarbor. That's not a bad idea.
I am really enjoying watching this video, but things have changed somewhat since I last visited
That's the great thing about these videos. You get to see the scenery and what's changed.
Nice one Johnno, I made it to the end….took me a couple of goes at it but I made it😁. Any videos you make are worth watching mate so go for it, we all learn something new from them and see things we may never see in real life ourselves….Great stuff! Safe journey mate😊
Awesome. Thanks again. Where do you live so I know your surroundings.
@@RoadTrainAdventures I’m in Melbourne, I drive a rigid around town. On the Monash a lot
Oh that's right. Hopefully I'll see you around sometime.
@@RoadTrainAdventures yeah that would be great, always looking out for you. Cheers johnno
Keeping looking and I'm sure we'll bump into each other.
Hey as this is new ish ;was when the thick book came out; was Finemore and toll & Linfox were on the the bored of guv. So they had crappy trucks & had trouble getting & keeping drivers: then got guv to bring in all the curries & turbans with families to drive then and we didn’t like it and everyone else excepted it and as the Cops in-forced that we were stuck with it & that’s Y . The speed limit was knocked back to a dollar2 where we used to do a dollar six or more . Even up to $10 down hill now we get dun & companies to; so only good thing about that.. keep the sunny side up & keep on the brake top. Thx Ashton Ausy driving for 20 years
That's very good
A bloke who rolled into Port Augusta early one morning had a Chihuahua dog run out at the front wheel of his Superliner. He was running super singles on the steer. He run over it unintentionally & it made a loud pop almost like a gun shot. It's guts burst out it's backside spraying the 2 old shelias walking the dog on the footpath. I asked what did he do? He said, , , ,Kep't On Truckin' !
I shouldn't laugh but the way you said pop was funny.
@@RoadTrainAdventures It will be cold up there at Gatton tonight where you did your live earlier on. I farm 80 acres just up the road at Withcott. I don't live up there ,or i would've come down & got ya so you could have a hot shower & cooked you a feed mate. There were parts near Toowoomba last night that hit minus 4 ,rug up if ya still there in ya bunk.
Oh that would have been great. I've got 2 doonas so I'll be warm tonight. Thanks
Nice and relaxing
Very nice
You should have been going through The Gutter back in the '80's when old Nobby Clark was the "Heavy" or the Weights and Measures fellow and he had a very good imagination as to the "crimes" he would accuse truckies of committing, whether you had done them or not. It was a bit of a game to him. He had a Government issued F100 which was quite unreliable (who's surprised?) and he conned me into taking him into Iron Knob one day when it broke down on him out on the highway. Talking of how the train compares to road, one SCT train carries approximately 150 B Double loads, at least, and does the trip in around two days from Parkes to Perth, unloaded on the day it arrives and quite often delivered the same day depending upon when the client booked it into the receiving warehouse.
That train load didn't sound too bad but that sounds like something the other train loads don't get.
I love the view of the hood. Thank you for your great videos. I wish you safe journeys. Unfortunately, I have been retired for 10 months. I miss driving a truck very much 😢 Stay safe my friend
I'll try to keep the memory alive for you.
@@RoadTrainAdventures thank you so much for your understanding. You are a great friend with a big heart. I have tears in my eyes. thank you so much 🥲❤️
Anytime. Do you have any requests for a story or video?
@@RoadTrainAdventures oh I will think, sure I have. Let me think about, later I'll tell you. Thank you very much 🙂
Sure
👍👍🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚👍👍
Thanks Alan
Got my membership back love it
Oh very nice
It is
Awesome
Great view of the country, thank you. Audio rather difficult to follow due to lorry and road noise. Best regards, Phil, Suffolk, U.K.🇬🇧
Thanks. I'll use a microphone next time.
Awesome video Johnno, beautiful scenery, if you decide to do some history videos, that would be awesome.
Thanks Stephen. Any ideas for a history story? Location?
Maybe something like the ghost town of Gwalia :)
I haven't heard of that one. I'll have to look that up.
Hey, its out near Leonora, turn left just before you get to Leonora, very fascinating :)
Yes I see. Well when I go that way again I'll check it out.
Hello Johnno, this version of videos is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing, voice audio needs to be up a bit more if possible but doesn't matter if its not possible. Still very enjoyable and would like more please?
Thanks heaps. I've got the audio fixed now. You'll hear better in the next video coming out tonight.
Excellent, can't wait. Thank you, I've been really enjoying your videos and look forward to more. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying the truck sounds too and as a public transport bus driver, buses don't quite have the same sounds and I do enjoy travelling next to trucks for that reason but I want to hear your comments too.
Ha ha. Imagine if your bus sounded like my truck driving around the suburbs. There might be some complaints about the noise.
Not from me there wouldn't be, however the residents more than likely. By the way, I'd like to see the jail tour.
Yeah you got that. I'll have to find a jail that I can do a story on. There aren't many about.
Nice one Johnno mate.(:=()
Awesome. Thanks again Raymond
I know you do not like to make these vlogs so much. But it is nice to see the country and roads like this with all your information. The sound of your voice is poor. But i rekken you know that. And afcose,Congratulations on your daughter's birthday.🥳cheers
Yes I'll fix up the audio before the next video like this. You're right. I find these kinds of videos boring to watch but you all seem to like it.
@@RoadTrainAdventures I think it is boring when we everytime see vids like these from the same road. Maybe. Becose you tel a lots of information in it. And the country we see behind the nose is so wide and peace full. Its freedom. And the sun fals down quick. But you make so much different vids that vids like this one are welcome.
Yes I'll always try to keep some variety in my videos.
Johnno unfortunately with the noise of the truck and the audio too far away from your voice on the latest video out of Ceduna I couldn't hear it.
I watched it for 30 minutes but had to give it away as I hadn't a clue what you were talking about. Pity it looked interesting . Paul
Yeah sorry. That will be fixed up before I make the next similar video.
Hi Johno travelng video great idea , if feed back is any help to you , the mic. seems to be picking up a lot of background noise seems to be drowning out the audeo a bit , plus the camera is making the head lights coming towards on low beam far too bright even the full moon is glarey I watch a bit of your mate "Kenny" and another driver from your hometown "TONY" drives for TOLL dose a bit up the Northwest he dose a lot of long videos also ,hope that little bit of feed back is helpfull , good idea mate cheers "RB" stay safe "aye"PS it's great to see some of the places i passed through a long time ago
Yes I'll use an external microphone next time
If you do a holiday show I will watch every single video
Ha ha. Thanks James
Nice parking at the service station
Yes it's a good one
Hi Jo no your videos are very interesting, but unfortunately you can’t hear you at all. Keep safe regards Dicky
Thanks Dicky. It will sound better next time.
I know a jail we might be able to explore the old Parramatta jail because I've watched someone on RUclips do a tour of it by himself
Oh that sounds great. Can I get my truck in there or at just too the location?
@@RoadTrainAdventures I'm not sure but you might not be able to
These are great. The microphone position is picking up a beautifull engine rumble. Unfortunatly it completly hides your voice.
Yes I'll fix that up before the next video.
01:25:10 still here, those telegraph/power poles are unique to SA but they are now suffering from concrete decay.
Wow you watched it all. Well done
@@RoadTrainAdventures I did, no problem.
Very good
I know how good the park lights are
For sure
Love the channel. How long have you had that truck and how many kilometres has she travelled? Cheers. Keep the awesome videos coming 👍
Thanks Troy. I've had this truck for 3 years and it's travelled 2.3 million kilometres now.
Amazing. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the reply. I'll continue enjoying the channel 👍😀
Maybe it time for a new one. Never 😂
Yes one day.
Yet another great video Johno! Yeah I watched most of it. Might have skipped ahead a few times but not far.
A question though! Are you sure the bright reflectiveness of signs or oncoming headlights isn't just the same as the rest of us old farts? The good old DOB disease (date of birth)?
Thanks Michael but you skipped some of my video... How dare you. Blocked. Ha ha. You did well to watch that much.
No with the spotlights I heard that the more expensive ones have a distant frequency and colour that don't cause as much reflection than the cheap ones like mine.
@@RoadTrainAdventures 😯 I'M BLOCKED ???? NOOOOOOO 😢!
🤣Sorry! just playing along.
Seems like I might have to "Wear my sunglasses at night", then!
Poor attempt at a joke there!
Ha ha. Very good
@@RoadTrainAdventures I wonder how many people got the reference? 😁
Hey brother, shut your window driving south from the gutter with your window down a bit it’s is droning sounds alright in the truck but on the speaker it’s droning shut your window
The windows was open but I wasn't using my good mike. I won't do that again. From now I'll just use the good microphones.
hey love your videos can you share a best route from burra to port augsta for B Triple
Burra, Hallett, Jamestown, Gladstone, Warnertown the up to Port Augusta
Yeah, we made it this far and when you're heading through my old stomping ground of Crystal Brook / Burra / Morgan / Renmark there are a lot of old characters who made our industry the envy of the world. However, the thing that just blew me away was I know you did this video about a month ago, as I was at the OTR in the gutter with a load of depot snot heading over to Kewdale then up north. I just finished telling @Brad_The_Truckie that I just done the last 6 weeks paddock bashing and finally made it back home for a spell.... Sorry cobber, I was one of those not giving you a clearway through the bowsers, Next time cobber :)
I made that video a few days ago. Anyway I got around OK so it's all good. I'll have to look up this history around Burra.
Bridges in PA a big improvement arent they....been a long wait but good now finished
Yes they're very good.
Ive had mine for eight years and i cant imagine letting her go. How many kilometres would you do every year ?
At least 230 thousands
Great video Johnno, but you need to do something with your mic I can just hear you. You're getting drowned out by your engine sound.
Yes. I'll use a proper microphone next time.
Great footage, Johnno, but almost impossible for me to understand the audio with the 909 being so loud inside the cab; just a bit of feedback. Tony from WA, who does these POV and audio videos exclusively had the same problem for the short time he drove a KW. They gave him a new Volvo which is much quieter and he invested in a couple of good mics, so the problem is now solved for him.
Question: Myself and a buddy will soon be departing on the annual motorcycle Border Run which meets up at the Border Village on the Eyre Highway. We usually stop at the big BP in Pt Augusta for fuel and a bit of a feed, but you have mentioned previously of a place that you prefer that serves up good meals, so I thought we might try that one for a change. Can you please tell me what the place is called and where is it situated in relation the the BP (on the right, before the causeway, heading west)?
Thanks David. I was going to use the radio mike but thought the audio wasn't too bad bad in the first video. I'll use it next time though
I stop at the BP OTR in Port Augusta abs have the Wok in a Box. Hopefully I'll see you then or I'll be in Brisbane tomorrow evening. I'm hoping to go live tomorrow from Gatton too.
I used to live in Maryborough
That looks nice. Why did you leave?
Hi, John
, why do some people paint their bonnets black? Doesn’t that increase the heat?
The top of the bonnet is painted black so it stops the reflection of the sun.
Great video audio not so much.
Thanks Mitch. I'll use a proper microphone next time.
@@RoadTrainAdventures awesome. Keep the shiny side up
Will do
Put cameras everywhere inside and outside
Yes that would be good
When do you have a 4 day break in Melbourne
That nearly a never. Maybe just a weekend.
Dont you like via Broken Hill route to Sydney?
Yes. That's the way I go but I have to go via Gladstone.
We can’t hear you! Remote mic needed! Otherwise interesting video,
Sorry. I'll sort this out before next one
The freight train carriage limit is 88
88 carriages?
how much horsepower do you have under your right foot
Only 620
Get the better headlights
Yes that a good now
You`re permitted to turn your road train across the highway at that location?
For sure or we'd be stuck on the wrong side of the road.
@@RoadTrainAdventures It`s illegal to do a right turn across Highway 1 as a road train except in designated areas of the gazette. Unless that intersection now has an exemption, you`re supposed to drop a trailer to make that turn. I`m not trying to be a smart arse, because it occasionally gets done (previously even by me), but I don`t publish the footage. I enjoy your videos. Take it easy Jonno.
Thanks Jimmy. Every road train I know, heading west will cross there. It's OK. I'm not worried about the police.
Hi johno how are things going
Going OK. I'm in Bourke about to hit the really really bad roads
@@RoadTrainAdventures are they still bad used to be bad years ago take care were are you heading to
They are shocking
@@RoadTrainAdventures keep the videos coming ken done one when he got home
Yes I saw. That was funny. I'm at Hebel now. This is where I'll stay for the night.
I don't miss Port Augusta
Oh no. It's a great place... To pass through
The audio is a bit dodgy, your voice isn't real clear 🤔
Yes I'll fix that up before I make another one.
I know who you are talking about the homeless trucker
You got it
