Hi Johnno just came across you’re channel and so glad I have. I’ve watched loads so far. Brilliant you Take care and stay safe mate. Keep up the good work
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.
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.👍
@@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 👍
Greetings from NZ new subsciber here always enjoyable ,love your commentary and great to hear the big Kenny cummins power,my brother started a few months ago for Jamiesons Port Hedland on the 4trailer Macks loves it ,living a boyhood dream ,thanks cobba keep the rubber side down
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.
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' !
@@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.
God I have travelled that road so many times, started when you still went through Crystal Brooke and all the others. So many memories of journeys taken to Whyalla or Leigh creek coal fields when I worked building Leigh creek STH and the airfield. Travelling up to the Moonta Gas Fields building the plant out there, wow things I had forgotten till now, thanks for the prompt. 😃😃
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😊
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?
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.
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
@@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 🥲❤️
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.
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.
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.
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.
I don’t feel most would abuse rest when tired but most of the companies would. I had a teacher once that said you’ll never make a living looking out the window, showed her.
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
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
@Road Train Adventures Do you have cruise control for the long stretches or do you have to keep your foot on the accelerator at a constant pressure for the whole time?
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
@@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.
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!
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.
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
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
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 :)
@@RoadTrainAdventures We left a letter on your mail from trucker calculator, where we tell you more details about our project We look forward to hearing from you
@@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.

I spose you meant Burra. It is an interesting place.
For sure

Not from me there wouldn't be, however the residents more than likely. By the way, I'd like to see the jail tour.

Thanks Nick. Longer videos. These take long enough to make now.
Really liked the video. Allan
Very good. Thanks Allan
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
Keep it up I love please
I'll try
Camera angles from all around your truck would be bloody awesome
Yes but then I might add well just make a proper video.
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.

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.
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
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.
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.
I know how good the park lights are
For sure
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
Love the channel. How long have you had that truck and how many kilometres has she travelled? Cheers. Keep the awesome videos coming 👍

Oh I didn't know there was one in Dubbo. I'll have to look that up.
@ yea they call it old Dubbo jail where a guide takes you through and shows you a old jail where the first prisoners spend time around that area
Sounds interesting. I don't pass through Dubbo all that much but we'll see how we go.

Yes I'll use an external microphone next time
I used to live in Maryborough
That looks nice. Why did you leave?
I know a jail we might be able to explore the old Parramatta jail because I've watched someone on TH-cam 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
Nice one Johnno mate.(:=()
Awesome. Thanks again Raymond
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
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.
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.
The freight train carriage limit is 88
88 carriages?
Hey Johnno
Are you open to advertising on your channel?
It really depends what it is.
@@RoadTrainAdventures We left a letter on your mail from trucker calculator, where we tell you more details about our project
We look forward to hearing from you
Oh yes I see. I'll have a look at it.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Ok Thank you
We can’t hear you! Remote mic needed! Otherwise interesting video,
Sorry. I'll sort this out before next one
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.
Get the better headlights
Yes that a good now
Put cameras everywhere inside and outside
Yes that would be good
I don't miss Port Augusta
Oh no. It's a great place... To pass through
