    I did that trip in reverse ( Perth - Kalgorlie - Adelaide ) all by train. I'll never forget the hardened miners on the train from Perth to Kalgorlie. The train steward put on the animated movie "Up". If you've seen it, the first 10 minutes are very moving. I looked around and I wasn't the only one who had sand in their eyes .... That was a great video ! I wanna be a road train truckie too ! All the best from Prague, CZ

    Very enjoyable, thanks - loved the strip along the coast, very dramatic = think I would have liked a little longer hold on the prices in the truck stops! I always find it interesting to see the prices and what's on offer at these places - sometimes the goods are the same whether in US, Canad or Aus, but the prices can be a big surprise! Greetings from Tasmania - and yes, it has been cold this winter, was only 0 this morning, mid-September '24! Safe travels y'all.

    I know it’s not quite the same thing but I used to drive coaches around Europe. The hours were long but what kept you going was all the amazing scenery and I personally would choose the same food in each truck stop along the way. The familiarity would almost be that psychological next step and one day closer to home. I loved it but I’m glad I don’t do it any more.

      @@RoadTrainAdventures Min Min lights ,you know, those pockets of gas that come up outta the ground at night after a hot day. They may be like an egg shape, but never perfectly round like a bubble. They emit a very faint light as they blow along in a gentle breeze & eventually fade out or burst.

    Great video as usual..! Is there a definitive explanation in regards to 'A' and 'B' doubles please? On the videos we often see mixtures of both but I wondered if there is a detailed reason and explanation as to why it is named 'A' or 'B'

    • @RoadTrainAdventures
      @RoadTrainAdventures  3 месяца назад

      I can't even work out it so how do I explain it. The A supposed to be the long trailer and the B the second.

    Johno, saw your piano efforts at the roadhose, do you & the lonely truckie ( Kennie) do duets, now that'd be fun to watch.

    About the lack of sleep, Ozzie truck drivers are allowed to drive for 168 hours in a 14 day period. That comes to 12 hours a day. But they're only obliged to take 3 rest periods of 7 hours every 72 hours, so they could actually be on the road for 17 hours a day. Which sounds really safe.

    • @RoadTrainAdventures
      @RoadTrainAdventures  2 месяца назад +1

      It is very safe. I've been doing this for years. Michael, who was with me was not used to the early mornings.

      ​@@RoadTrainAdventures In Europe we're normally only allowed to drive for 9 hrs per day and 56 hrs in a week. That's the perspective I was coming from when I made the comment. I enjoyed the video and I didn't think you did anything unsafe. But I was surprised by how many hours you do so I looked up the Aus regulations and shared the info.

    • @RoadTrainAdventures
      @RoadTrainAdventures  2 месяца назад

      That's OK. I can't believe how few hours you can drive. It may make for a better quality of life but there's no real life parked up on the edge of the road.
