    Hi Johnno
    I know Roelands Hill very well. The views from the top looking towards the coastal plains with the Indian Ocean back ground and Bunbury in the distance are fabulous, especially on a beautiful clear day such as you had. As a kid I remember the original road snaking its way down the escarpment - very narrow, windy with some sharp corners and steep drop offs. On one occasion when descending the hill we had an electrical short in our Holden farm ute and needed an auto electrician to repair the damage before proceeding. Alls well that ends well.

      I don't remember looking at the speed so I can't be sure. I was always looking at the rpm.

    Looks like all 4 could have fit on one trailer... are they too heavy, or did you need to take the second trailer and balance the load or was it some other reason?
    Also the second from the front had a dent did someone not load it well?

    • @RoadTrainAdventures
      @RoadTrainAdventures 25 дней назад +1

      Yes the reels were too heavy for one trailer. I didn't notice the dent but it was probably only to the wrapping.

      @RoadTrainAdventures 26 дней назад

      It stays down because I select a low enough gear so I don't have to keep the throttle down to high. The water might have got to 97 degrees.
