- 15 Days in a Road Train - Perth to Brisbane to Melbourne then back to Perth - Gear Changes
There are deliveries and pick up I do in between. I also show you how I change gear whilst driving through Mildura, Victoria so come along and enjoy this long ride.
I do some road train spotting too showing you 2, 3 and 4 trailers. The big quad road train.

Love, love, loved this!!! We even recognised where we camped a couple of months ago at Bunda Cliffs; alongside the left of your bonnet! Nose in - wind blew west to east with the occasional blast from north to south! Sounded like a freight train or truck 😂😂
You are such a kind genuine bloke helping your fellow truckies.
The night vision of the stars was truly breathtaking.
Hope Steve got to Karratha safely.
Lumbar Transport - you guys are awesome allowing Johnno to film !! Thank you 🎉
Wow thanks Karen for those kind words. Yes Steve had no problems getting to Karratha and is already on his way back east.
Glad you like the night skies. I might try to do some more.
Pulling over to help is something we don’t see very often these days. Good on ya mate for keeping the old school values alive
Awesome. Thanks. Yes I'd hope someone would help me if I was stuck on the edge of the road.
Love your work mate, camped on those cliffs on the nullabor and one of my great memories was watching the road trains come roaring down the hill at night, Spectacular🤙
Thanks heaps. I wondered if it's trucks would be annoying with the sound of the tyres passing all the time.
This video just showed up on my feed. I've heard about "Road Trains" but, never really seen one until now. Absolutely incredible!! Good stuff!!!
Awesome. I'm glad you liked it.
really blown away with the changing of the gears
Ha ha. Awesome. Thanks
What a wonderful vlog Johno. You really do an excellent job both with the driving and the filmmaking. It's easy to forget that you're making these quality films whilst getting that load across Australia. Absolutely epic stuff.
It was kind of you to stop and help those guys and you have abrilliant attitude towards the job. Hats off to you mate.
Thanks heaps Stefan. I have a lot of fun making these too.
First watch very good job and a half
Awesome. Thanks David
你人真好,熱心助人！
Very good
What a truck
Proper truck
For sure
Amazing shot of the train parked up at the cliffs. 👍
Thanks ross
Nice 2 see some trucking Video from Australia.
Great stuff, thnx.
Take care, good luck and always 20 inches space in front of your bumper...just in case😉
Many greatings from the other end of the world.
From saxony, EastGermany🤓👍
Very nice. Thanks Stefan. It's great to have you along from Germany.
Oh man, those cliffs drone views with the truck on top are amazing. Well done.
Thanks heaps. I wondered if the cliff shots would be interesting for viewers.
Love the drone shots on this one Johno please keep the videos coming 😃
Thanks heaps David
Never bored with your videos
Beautiful scenery at the cliffs
I chuckled to myself when I saw McDonald's. I refer to them as the BIG M Steakhouse . Keep up the good work 👏
Awesome. Thanks Perry
Wow great ,I love sunny weather while driving than cold
For sure
Appreciate you helping the stranded truckers. Beautiful gesture.
Awesome. Thanks
One of the best video's you've done Johnno! Some great drone shots, very interesting. Well done for stopping to help that driver, not many drivers do that these days, so good on ya 👍. Nice to see a tidy rope and sheeted load too. Looking forward to the next one 🇬🇧
Thanks Bob. Always great to have you along.
Excellent recordings and very good music to go with it. Your videos are indeed the best in quality. I love and enjoy them very much.
Thanks again. I do try to make them as good a quality for you all to watch.
love your stuff including the music x
Awesome. Thanks Greg
Your a great bloke and always willing to help others in need.
Thanks Mark
Johnno. Love your gritty videos. Much better than the over produced manufactured drama of reality shows on TV. You showed your class in helping those blokes on Madura Pass.
Thanks Graham. I try my best.
I was thinking of making a funny send-up of one of those shows where I make a real drama about everything.
Very cool video watching from Chicago keep it up you Aussie's.
Awesome. Thanks and its great to have more Americans watching.
Keep trucking.💪💪💪💪
👍
5:44 Wow. Great music also. Thank you.😜
Thanks Bernard
Well done, good pictures, great cut, good tone quality. And, as always, a real view into trucking in down under! Thx and greetings from Germany!
Thanks heaps. Germany would be a great country to visit. So you drive yourself?
@@RoadTrainAdventures Just from time to time.
I'm dispatcher and fleet manager, but got all licences, so if I fancy it, I'll do a tour by myself!
If you come over, drop me a line.
We are in the UK and in Spain with our trucks on a weekly basis, if you like, join a tour, so you would have a few impressions of Europe.
We're doing car transports only, our drivers are sleeping in hotels, you would take a trip like this as holidays ;)
Wow your drivers don't sleep in the truck. I know your sleeper cab are smaller but I started out sleeping in a small cab Volvo. Was in that for at least a year.
What a super video ! The most entertaining 42 minutes I have had in a long time. Thank you, all the way from Ireland.
Thanks Tom. I'm glad you liked it.
Great work helping out the two foreign drivers 💪.
Thanks Justin
G’day. I thought ‘no way am I gonna watch a while 42 minutes’, but hey I did :) Awesome editing on the bit through Mildura, and great drone work throughout. Thanks for a great show!
Wow you watched it all. Awesome. Makes it worth while me putting in the effort. Thanks heaps.
Has to be your best yet Johnno! The amount of time, effort and content was amazing. The scenery is incredible especially the footage of the cliffs in WA. I’ll be watching this one again and again. Well done mate! 👍🏻
Thanks heaps. I'm really surprised you all liked the cliffs so much.
Great. You have great job. I love it.
Thanks heaps
Same to you truckie. Keep im roling.@@RoadTrainAdventures
For sure
MAN, when i see multiple trailors cannot help but to just be blown away. its just the biggest most impressive thing to move. Im just getting into semi trailors but i want to drive these bad boys one day. SO FUCKING COOL
Thanks Luke. Are you in Australia?
@@RoadTrainAdventures I sure am! Queensland born, living in sydney! lived in most states!
Are you thinking about getting your MC and joining us?
Excellent episode thanks buddy. Well worth watching
Thanks Ady
Always good to be along with you on the hauls on the ground and the in the air! Be safe!
Thanks Dana
Good video and insight into the truck driving life
Thanks Daniel
This looks like a movie😮😮😮
Ha ha. It's not that long
Nice vlog Johno, Wonderful drone shots as always! 👍
Thanks TK
I would love to drive a Road train, unfortunately we don’t have them in the UK.
I really enjoyed the channel,and the beautiful scenery.
I did see the shooting star.
You are very lucky, but at the same time it is very hard work.
Thank you for the great videos.
Keep on trucking.👍
Thanks heaps
Man you're awesome, helping ppl even without knowing them
Oh thanks Omar. I'd like someone to do the same for me one day.
What you fellas do is incredible & I put you on par with doctors because without trucks Australia stops & it’s definitely a true statement. Keep on trucking 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Oi Oi Oi 👍
Oh thanks heaps
My hero's are those who provide clean drinking water, saves more life's than all the doctors.
Very good
Awesome new video. Really loved the in cab shots of the gear changes. Nice to see how aussie trucks works
Thanks heaps.
Fantastic video! Those shots of the cliffs were incredible. And the night sky! I live in Brisbane and forget how large Australia is…!
Yes Daniel. Australia is a big and beautiful place
Very impressive
Thanks again
love that engine working hard and the old girls got some grunt in her. love it. i love the clutch less changes
Yeah the engine certainly sounds great
Looks like you will be up for an Emmy nomination soon Johno, if you keep this up !
Excellent video Mate and Awesome of you to stop and help those guys, Well Done
Thanks Don. I have Ken to fight that award with. He'll be back in Australia tomorrow so he will start making truck videos again.
You're a bloody good bloke mate.
You stopped to see if you could assist or help a driver who needed help.
Good one Johno
Absolutely bloody marvelous.
Love your work.
Amazing footage,
Good camera skills.
Good stuff mate.
Thanks heaps for your kind words
Awesome. Thanks again
Awesome. Thanks again
r
You really have inspired me to get back into trucking thanks for that and putting some trucking topics in perspective , I have 2 years mc driving and forget your not expected to be perfect but on your way to always learning and practising 😂
Awesome. Thanks Philip
Hands down one of the best channels on you tube, what a great bloke to help out like this.
Oh you guys are the best. Great to have you along.
Well done Johno ! the content was great , the filming and editing fantastic and for a moment I thought I was watching the dramatic Hollywood cliff scene from Dual ( for those that can remember that far back) but your production was better, your actions of lending a hand to people on the road in need of assistance was exemplary and should be celebrated, your a legend. I was stuck on a mountain road in a precarious situation and had the good fortune of being helped by another truckie and have always been grateful for their kindness and expertise and hope to pass it on.
Thanks Tony. I always like to go the extra mile and when it comes to helping others, well I how someone would stop to help me if I was broken down.
People are praying around the clock.
👍
Mmmmmm nah
Brilliant video, best yet, thanks so much, really appreciate the time and effort you go to, cheers mate 👏👏
Thanks David. Always good to get great feedback.
Ok, Ill sub. ha! I got 2 boys on the way, and this is the content I wanna show em. Reminds me of ol VHS tapes Id have as a kid about big rigs, and fire trucks!
Awesome. I think
Wow.....awesome video bud. Part of me would like to join you one day across Australia. What an experience. That cliff drone video was mind blowing. Billions of years right there. Thanks so much.
Awesome. Thanks for your kind comments and it's also great to have you along.
Nice 👍
Thanks Eric
The shooting stars around Norseman and Fraser range are awesome. Spent a bit of time out that way under canvas!
That last night scene was just start Balladonia. It's hard to get a clear night when your want it.
@@RoadTrainAdventures how much feed is about out that way mate? Bloody marginal country if ever there was some
For sure. Driving near Mundrabilla now and it's a completely clear blue sky. I might try some more night shots later if it stays clear.
Gave up after 3min. couldn’t stand the music. Excellent quality video.
Sorry. It's impossible to find music that no one objects to.
@@RoadTrainAdventures How about no music at all, or turned way down. Just the purring of the engine and the voice of the narrator. How about that for a concept?! Again, it seems to be a very well put together subject video.
I hate videos that have no music or just engine noise. That too me is really amateur video. Would you see Outback Truckers have an episode where there is no music, only the sound of the truck. No that's not for me.
@@RoadTrainAdventuresI guess we are all different. It’s your gig. Drive safely.
For sure
I was in Perth last year and it was such a beautiful place. Road train is the job I want to do.
👍
Another Great Video Johnno thank you, mate, 👍👍👍👍👍 Ken will be back in Australia shortly so we will have two of you to keep an eye on once again.
Yes I'm looking forward to Ken coming back. He may not be happy to return though but we all have to work.
Yes very true I'm sure he will not want to come back.@@RoadTrainAdventures
For sure
Fabulous video and great shots of Aus. I haven't lived in Aus since 10 years, now. Though I was recently back in Darwin for a job, and reminded of the beauty of the land. These videos are fantastic at showing the vast expanse of the outback and the romance of driving across country. Also, props to you for stopping and assisting those blokes, I hope they appreciated the help!
For sure. Yes those guys were very thankful.
Absolutely top lad. If I was the other driver I would have given you a beer thanked you so much!. Really top bloke to have around.😊
Thanks heaps. I never ask for anything in return for helping. Most offer something but unless it's just a drink, I usually don't accept.
Expectacular....Mate...from... Argentina 😮
Awesome. It's great to have you along.
Thanks Mate!!!
Anytime
Just found your channel! Great video!
Your truck is what we call here in the 🇺🇸….” A BOY DOG”!🤣
Is that a good term in the US? I love the truck.
Love seeing how helpful you are to other truckers 👍
Thanks heaps. It is nice to help others.
It's something that seems to be disappearing from the Aussie way of life. Not just truckies, but nobody, absolutely nobody would dare drive past anyone in trouble on an outback road in Oz once. I'm the truck driving son of a truck driving father and when Dad started in the game, the bitumen up the coast road in WA ended at Geraldton! If you got bogged on that road, you had no choice but to try to walk into a station homestead for help. Anyone who didn't help out, ran out of mates very quickly!
@@michaelboyce7079 no different in the UK matey and not just in our profession it’s seems to be rife in all aspects of normal life now…shame but true.
For sure
👍
Another awesome video. The time and effort you must have put into this is rewarding for people like me that could never have gone on a trip like this alone. Keep these coming my friend.
Awesome. Thanks Janet
Absolutely love your videos so down to earth and awesome to watch. Thanks heaps
Oh thanks heaps Tony
Thank goodness for Lumbars Support
For sure
Those shots from the drone of the cliffs and sea are epic. Seeing your truck in them puts the scale into perspective to. They would make great promotional shots for the company. Your videos just keep getting better. Look forward to every new one you post. Safe travels…
Awesome. Thanks. Robert
Another Great video Johno , drone footage was top notch especially over the cliffs . Keep up the good work mate
Thanks Brett. When I took the cliff footage I wasn't sure if many people would be interested in it as it's not really truck related.
I’m glad someone is living the dream love you work mate😎🙏
I hope you're living the dream too
You are a good soul, with a big heart.
Throughly enjoyed your film 👍🏽😊
Oh thanks Malcolm for your kind words
Good one! I saw this pop up while I was working today and was anxious to get off work and have a cold one while "visiting" Oz from North Carolina, USA. yt dog woke up from her nap and barked at your truck when you rolled down the window for the shifting demonstration. Too funny. She thought someone was arriving.
Well hello from North Carolina. It's great to have you along. In glad your dog liked what he heard. Sounds like I got the mix right then.

Man! The effort you put into these videos in insane, Must say, I was pooping my pants a little for your drone as you sent it over the Bight, but what a spectacular sight!! Often driven, Gold Coast to Perth and never taken the time to smell the roses and check out those sights. You're inspirational. Thanks for taking us all along for the journey. Cheers
Awesome. Thanks Darren. Lucky for me on not always in a hurry so I can stop to take in these moments.
It has always been my dream to drive a road train and this was really good inspiration because I’m not old enough to drive one!
Oh. How long do you have to wait?
I've been giving serious consideration to a change of occupation and I have to say the appeal of a long haul trucker has been calling to me for some time, being able to enjoy the views as you drive hour after hour, seeing one part of the country after another. A true inspiration.
For sure Dan. It's certainly a way of life. But that's only if you're OK with being away from home.
A pretty good life but you don't see the breakdowns the blow outs, floods , folding wet tarps and bad weather etc etc but you do have the best view out of your office window..
I sure all of that when I can. I've been pretty lucky though not to have much of any of that.
I love the cool Drone shots and the music backing.
Awesome. Thanks Peter
Outstanding video
Thanks Gazza
Could be your best yet! As a non-trucker but someone with great respect for truckies, I feel like I learn a lot from your videos as well as being entertained. Keep it up and thanks 👍
Thanks again Andrew
For those that don’t know the Bunda Cliffs are on the Great Australian Bight. Head south off the cliff’s and the next land is Antarctica. Great place the Bight except in winter when the wind comes from the Southern Ocean. Damn freezing.
Thanks Peter. Very true. Cold winds there.
Good Evening 😊 Awesome Content 👌🏽 Thanks for taking me across your Beautiful country 😊 Greetings Mate And Cheers 🍻 From S.A🇿🇦
Thanks heaps. It's great to have you along.
Thank you so much for this adventure! Some beautiful sights in Australia, it's all very foreign to me. I'm a truck driver in the UK, it looks a lot different here.
Thanks heaps. I think some parts of England look very nice too
Hi Johnno, you are so right when you talk about how wonderful the Australian country and outback scenery is. The landscape seems to be ever changing. The Bunda Cliffs is also another part of this great country that you can never get tired of seeing as that is also every changing over thousands of years
For sure
Hey there Johno, what a wonderful and awesome video. From 4:00 min the cliffs at the Nullabor, the footage is fantastic, I love it so much. Thank you very much for your awesome channel. And of course I subscribed your channel long time ago and I like every video. Thank you so much, stay safe 😀👌👍💪
Thanks heaps again. I didn't know the cliff edges would be so popular.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Very welcome, I imagine, but the cliff scene is really impressive 🙂💪
It is when you're there.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Oh I believe 😀
4:50 Awesome and breath taking shots. I am quite surprised that America didn't invent or adopt road trains in their haulage industry.
Yeah I don't know why. There would be way less trucks on the road.
@@RoadTrainAdventures I would love to visit Australia, I have some distant family who live there. Not criminals (as far as I am aware?) but I am shit scared of large spiders. Safe trucking buddy. From an ex professional driver from once was Great Britain.
Well we need more good operators so come over.
What a show! Thanks mate. Loved it!
Thanks Peter.
Great stuff John. Makes me want to get back out on the road again and head west.
Well if the conditions are right in your life, anything is possible.
@@RoadTrainAdventures I am 59, do you think its too late to get into trucking?
I wouldn't think so. Just depends if you can get a job where you live.
Johnno personally i think the best video ever. Always a great ride in the cabin with you but one day i'm going to ask the boss if i can come for a shortish kinda trip with you. The drone footage brilliant and the stars well that's stepped up another level lol
Thanks Kylie. Our trips are too long for you to come along but maybe one day I'll get something short. You're the first person to mention the night sky. I was starting to think that wasn't any good.
Exellent video trucking of australia👍👌👏 thanks very much🙂
Awesome. Thanks for watching and great to have you along.
Great video, very enjoyable. thank you.
Thanks Steven
Great episode 👍
Thanks Nina
G`Day bloke, your star shots are fantastic. I have a mate who lives in the big smoke and he was here a long while ago and saw a starry night and said he had never seen so many before. I guess many big town folks haven`t. Hope some of them get to see your video.Cheers, Bob.
Thanks Bob. Maybe you can share it with them.
Superbly fun watching these. Love the longer format with journeys and all the issues you encounter. Very interesting too. Thanks Alex.,
Thanks Alex. The longer videos are hard to make but it's great to hear that you like them.
Good job brother
Awesome. Thanks Syed
Awesome drown shot ❤
Thanks GJ
Nice video, would be great if you could do an in depth explanation on the operation of the road ranger gearbox please.
Oh yeah. I'm ill try to put something together.
Great to see you and the country! Enjoyed the vid!
Thanks heaps Brian.
Awesome video, thanks for taking us along.
It's great to have you along.
Cool vid johno 👍, ps, you make it look easy 😅.
Ha ha. Thanks Andre.
Drone work at Bunda Cliffs was utterly spectacular. I bet the cigar cutter was working overtime coz if you drop the drone there, it’s bye bye.
Thanks Chris. Ha ha. Cigar cutter. Yes there is no recovery of anything. I read wondering what I'd do if I feel over the edge. How far I'd have to swim up to get out, if I was still alive.

Beautifully done.
Thanks Doug
Great video
Thanks heaps
Those blokes that broke down didn't seem to have a clue. Lucky for them you were there to help out.
Yeah. I saw their truck when I took some drone footage. Then one of them came into the Madura hotel as I was having a meal for assistance so I offered to help.
Great videography Johnno! BTW Mungindi is pronounced 'Mung-in-die'. Keep up the top work mate!!!!
Thanks Bruce. I should have looked out up how to say it.
Many get it wrong, so don' feel bad!😁@@RoadTrainAdventures
At least one learnt something new now too.
Top Class video. I really like to see Australian truckers and RoadTrains 😁
Awesome. It's great to have you along.
