I'm a British/South African MC Truck driver from a little town called Manjimup in Western Australia. Also an ex-UK Class 1 (C+E) HGV driver who love being part of the "Big Boy Toys" delivering goods to the stores near you!
I'm so passionate about my awesome career and hobbies that I started to vlog all my experiences on TH-cam, TikTok and on Instagram.

One Tree Bridge outside Manjimup | Western Australia #contentcreator #historyfacts #djimini4pro
Until 1904, the only way across the Donnelly River in this area was a hazardous natural rocky ford about 500 metres upstream of the present bridge. The opening of the nearby graphite mining venture demanded a safer crossing.
Local settlers, Herbert and Walter Giblett, located an enormous karri tree and, using their skill as axe-men, felled it so it dropped across the 25m wide river to form the basis of a bridge.
The superstructure was hewn from nearby jarrah trees - crosspieces were cut and set into the karri log, then slabs of jarrah were laid across each end of the bolsters. Finally, hand hewn jarrah decking was laid, naturally resting on the slabs to provide a non-slip surface for horses and bullocks.
Eventually, this bridge disintegrated and fell into the river. Part of it was salvaged and is now on display at this shady recreation site.

Best beaches in Western Australia - Salmon Beach #bestbeaches #westernaustralia #drone

Walk an unspoilt beach with thundering surf beneath rugged cliffs or take in the dramatic coastal scenery from several lookouts. Salmon Beach is just west of Windy Harbour along D’Entrecasteaux Drive and often bears the brunt of the winds and swells from the Southern Ocean. Although it is a popular destination in holiday periods, the sense of isolation and space is never lost. A short walk from...

Manjimup, WA | Drone footage of King Jarrah Tree
มุมมอง 413 หลายเดือนก่อน
At over 45m tall and estimated to be 500 years old, this is one impressive jarrah tree. He’s lucky to still be here. In the early 1900’s, two sleeper cutters had plans to fall this giant. Fortunately for King Jarrah, this dastardly plan reached the ears of Fred Brockman of the Lands and Surveys Department just in time. He raced out to the tree and blazed a broad arrow on it which signified that...

Manjimup, WA | Drone footage of the awesome Diamond Tree lookout
มุมมอง 634 หลายเดือนก่อน
In 1939, the search was on to find a suitable karri tree south of Manjimup to be used as a fire lookout tree. This tree, which became known as the Diamond Tree, was pegged in 1940 and a cabin built at the top. It was from this cabin that the tower person scanned the surrounding landscape looking for signs of smoke. Early detection of bushfires made them much easier to control. Diamond Tree is n...

Well done mate, Only new class1 drivers understand.

Good job mate

That gave me anxiety just watching. I don’t like reversing on to a bay, sod doing that! 😂
That was in my early days of trucking.... it was mad but i did that! I do feel quite chuff over that day. Thx for watching my content ;)
i work for Cti Logistics and i drive to manjimup monday to friday. ive always wondered what the road to nannup looked like. Great video mate
@@jarradleagas1071 such an awesome drive.....love it! Thx for watching!
When you tie down throw your straps so the hooks are on the driver's side, then if you have to stop to tighten you are not standing on the road.
100% agree as thats the way i was use to in the UK. At this company all the barrel straps are on the driver side. Thx for watching!
Good job mate. Been in there 3 times this week
@@stevemurton5017 for my 1st time in reversing it was hard.... but know ill say its easier. Welldone to you!
OMG. What a 🤡
Unbelievable yes....world gone mad!
Reminds me of my 2nd day as class 1 driver, avoiding a low bridge with no pre warning signs ending up up an industrial estate, nowhere to turn around, parked cars everywhere, had to reverse back similar distance 😢😢, nightmare,😂well done mate,I managed it aswell JUST 😂

Hi mate could you tell me what it’s like delivering to Costa? How many drops did you have and is it hard work? Is it pallet work? Or on cages? Is the load in shop order or you have to hand pick yourself on arrival ?
Hi mate, its cage delivery and no you dont pick it yourself. Easy job but in beginning its hard but after a few drops it gets easier. +- 15 drops and its easy access. Nah its easy as you get faster you finish earlier.....
@@BigWheelZak cheers mate thanks for the response. I have an interview with GXO who now have the contract for Costa so just wanted an insight because I’ve done work for like brakes/bidfood which is an absolute nightmare having to pick things yourself etc. I heard for Costa you may have to take the things out of the cages and put into their cupboards also
i need to see australia soon boet , this is grey and miserable :D
I will make a plan.... not allowed to do videos anymore at work. :(
@@BigWheelZak ah that sucks
