Who is BikeStuff?? - Im just a guy who loves motorcycles, this channel is all about bikes i ride, film, test, review, fix and discuss. I do not represent a business or organisation but an ideology that everyone needs a bike in their life!. Thank you for reading this family friendly message :-)
And finally watched your almost 12 hours video in 10 days! watch it an hour for everyday exceptional for Sunday I occasionally watched it for couple of hours. The straight 90 miles (150 km) highway is my awaiting part and keep spirit to watch your video until the last day of June!!!
glad you enjoyed the video.
Green trees are Green !!
A trip that captures Australians vastness and raw size - Fantastic !!
Much appreciated, thankyou!
@Hamodi Ghanem 56hrs. From where to where ?
@Hamodi Ghanem 56hours drive, from what location?
@Hamodi Ghanem what do you mean,
Green trees are green :) This video's getting me through a tough assignment. Can't wait to do this drive myself some day.
Wow Australia seems like a really beautiful country!! I want to go there!!
Honestly these highways look so identical for hours on end (flatland with some trees) it boggles the mind, I'm guessing the national parks are a lot more beautiful and varied. The drive from Melbourne to Sydney had more interesting landscapes it seemed. On the other hand, a lot of this takes places in the dark where you can't see the landscapes
10:07:25 finally something happens!! :O
Drove toward Adelaide in my young life during dusk, saw a marvelous unforgetible view from all the citylights from the hills before entering. Not many Indigenouse people from Tasmania survived the holocaust in the early 1900´s. Much appreciate your 35 hours upload, never thought to see it as how you managed to document it. Thanks!
Thanks, that was the plan. Id love to document the entire 150hour+ drive around aus. hopefully soon.
Just sorting out funds for travel + SD cards and such thats needed
Hey just watching your video for the first time, we did it, me and my wife, from Adelaide to Perth in 2019, that was our first and only one, we stopped at Augusta for 1 night, next morning we left for Ceduna, we were almost halfway when my wife said did you put my suitcase in the boot
i said NOOO, didn't you put it in, I was sitting in the driver's seat waiting to go,''' we stopped, called the motel, the fella there said yes it's here, there are some good people left in the world, he arranged a kind soul to meet us in Kimber, our next overnight stop was in Eucla, next night stop was Balladonia, where Skylab crashed, had 2 night in the GOLD city Kalgoorlie, from there back strait to Perth, we planning another trip soon, this time we hoping to do it from Sydney to Perth., enjoying your video, thanks keep it up.
most welcome, glad to see you had fun!, i didnt know about the Skylab crash incident!
Loving these videos!! Really feel like I'm right there with you! Just hope I get to make the trip myself one day.
You should consider doing one of these from Melbourne to Darwin! Would love to see that.
I would love to do one, Melbourne to Sydney... Or even film the entire 3000 hour drive around australia. One Day i will make it happen :-)
@@AridersLifeYT Great video mate. thank you for sharing.l am planning a road trip the same way. Could you please tell me where is your first second and third stop when you driving out of Adelaide. That would help me a lot Thanks a million.
That's good man ... Me too I'm Algerian and i'll to go Melbourne for study and i have to try this from Melbourne to Perth without stop just in somethings or to sleep if I can ☺️😊
Wery good drive.
A brother big fan of your journey I plan on doing Sydney to Perth 1day then Perth to Darwin
1:03:00 - Sleeping in the back with the window closed created TOO much condensation. I could have reenacted the car scene from titanic.
We will be driving from Perth to Melbourne next week. Will be driving 12 hours each day; Perth to Madura, Madura to Port Augusta, Port Augusta to Melbourne.
that will be a good drive but i dont reccomend driving the nulla at night, i dodged so much wild life on the way back. dont forget to take some photos of the 90mile straight on the west side and on the east after you cross it. I did the drive back and recorded all of the footage but because i had music playing i had too many copyright claims on the video so it was removed.
2:44:05 "Green trees are green" - yep still watching...
I'm keen to do this trip for the sheer adventure - but dude, how did you do this without any music playing..? I'd be blasting music all the way across..!!
i did it without music surprisingly easy, i was just letting my mind wonder and thinking about things while i was driving.
i'm absolutely amazed at how uncluttered the roads are there. In the U.S. it's almost bumper to bumper on every interstate highway.
Well Aus is about 85% the size of USA and we have 26million people. 21,000 beaches. the main land (inner) is basically a desert. Unlike USA we have massive back lack for new land release because of aborigional laws. But massive unregulated immigration is causing massive city overcrowding and the systems already falling daily due to demand.
@@AridersLifeYT that's a shame, i used to drive a tractor trailer over the road here in america and always fantasized about driving one of those road trains there in Australia.
Not really. There are so many empty freeways in America.
In China,if you travel 2000 km by car, it will cost you approximately 300AUD simply on the toll. Chinese government charges everything
thumbs up everyone who watched the full video!
Enjoyed watching your video. Subscribed to your channel.
Thanks bud.
Green trees are green!
Thanks for watching!
You must have done the trip in winter or spring because it's all so green, especially on the WA side. If spring did you stop at the Head of the Bight to view the whales nursing their calf's ? Now that's a sight to see. Was there on year in early September. 124 whales in the bay and 26 calves. We took to the Yalata lookout platform and this mother and calf were 50-60 meters away and the calf was being a typical infant jumping and rolling over the mother, majestic to watch. Just standing there feeling dwarfed by the white cliffs of the Great Australian Bight and as far as you could see, just rugged untouched beauty. Couple of dingo's hanging around too. Drove across one year and near Madura pass hit a Kangaroo at um high speed. My roo bar hit him mid jump which sent him smashing in to my window screen but incredibly he hit at the right angle so it didn't break straight over the roof he went. I stopped thinking I would have to finish him off as you have too if they are critically injured otherwise it's cruel to leave them on the side of the road but bloody hell he just jumped up and took off like a bullet. Lots to see especially the Milky way, stars horizon to horizon, incredible. I found anywhere in the Australian bush if you sit quiet for a while, the animals lizards snakes and birds will move around again, accept the flies, they stop for no one. Love the outback.
I believe it was October.
@@AridersLifeYT Oct warming up nicely. I'm from Perth worked most of the interior mining and exploration. Been to some pretty remote and amazing places. Best experience was mineral exploration at West Angello Ranges in early 70's. Worked with a Tribal driller Sammy. Every now and then we would have to stop for hours and he would take me walkabout in the bush. Came across a huge open cavern one day. Incredible, salt bush and spinifex at ground level dry typical harsh landscape but in this cavern there was this big gum tree with an underground stream that had broken the surface creating a narrow stream, ferns grasses and absolute Oasis. I asked him about the ochre hand drawings on the rock faces and he explained it was a meeting place where the tribes exchanged promised women. A truly ancient world. Another time we knocked off work and returned to camp where we all stood in our jocks washing ourselves down from a 44 gal drum of water ( our shower ) As I looked up on the ridge above us was a tribal man leg bent up and leaning on his spear watching us. I joking asked Sammy if he was going to attack to which he have me a worried look. Nah he says, your a white fella. I'm a black fella and I'm on his land. He was quite worried. Had some interesting experiences with the tribals and witnessed some mind blowing things. Love Kalgoorlie too, I always refer to Kal as the central pillar of our multiculturalism and why West Aussies have such a unique culture, but that's for another time perhaps. Road trips are great, lots to see and learn. Enjoyed yours
@@redhammer9910 id honestly love to see that hidden cavern with the old gumtree and underground river. I actually heard a similar story from a local when i stopped at the servo about 100km west of the 90mile straight.. the local said there are alot of these hidden gullys with underground rivers and cave divers are constantly caught out and die, so they tend not to advertise where they are. makes sense.
@@redhammer9910 On a side note, id love to drive all around Australia and upload the entire 150hr drive. i have the ambition, just need the funds and the car to do it. i think it would be great.
You can see the moon in the top right hand corner of the screen.
40:51 that was a very fast truck!
Reminds me of the truck in Duel
I love those videos - they're perfect to remember/prepare my own roadtrips. Thank you for sharing!
What camera did you use?
(btw: green trees are green)
Hello, the camera was a GoPro Hero 3 black.
Id like to get myself a Blackvue 4k dash camera and do it again. that would be great.
@@AridersLifeYT nice, i've got an old gopro3 somewhere too :-)
never used it for long videos due to the short battery runtime but never thought about (how to) keeping it plugged in (thanks, youtube tutorials!)
@@martingrosse the issue i have with the gopro it constantly had issues freezing, i had to buy new SD cards and flash the firmware to the old version to stop the issue, i dont think i will be using the gopro again as a long distance dash camera except for time lapses.
@@AridersLifeYT thanks for the warning! I'll try the long term recording at home first to see if I have the same issues.
Unfortunately here in germany "real" dash cams are only allowed if the are in short term loop recording mode, I don't know if I can buy one with constant recording.
@@martingrosse gopro does loop. just tell them its on loop lol
Green trees are a mixture of the two primary colours blue and yellow.
:-)
what got me on my trip over was the lack of road kill until i around cocklebiddy and then there were dead roos quite often on the side of the road. oh and the odd cyclist in the middle of the nullarbor
Yeah i seen some kangaroos and wombats as road kill.
Wow what a long way, do you ever wonder why they did not build more cities along the route between Melbourne and Perth?
Aboriginal Land rights. Its Their Country and the majority vote no. Also A new city does need to happen. Cocklebiddle area, is great thats basically along the great Australian bite, right in the middle between Adeliade and Perth. Its sunny for 300+ days of the year. However the area has a massive underground water table that would seriously need to be investigated first + its too close to the Military SpyPlane bases so that rules out major cities also. 200k+mass immigration needs to be stopped first, then fix cities, etc before the merit immigration system should be reopened.
There I was deciphering the secret message from the crocodile Dundee code book when we pulled into the Nullarbor truck stop. I was like WTF is that woman doing!
haha, well said.
nice drive
Thanks
What was that lady doing at the Nullarbor truck stop? And why were you looking?
It's true. Green trees are green, and not just in Australia.
Terminator music at 7:07:40
Hahaha well done!
green trees green
What was that lady doing at the Nullarbor truck stop?
Adults stuff i assume
where?
what was that lady doing at the nullarbor truck stop.
Green trees are green.
have you ordered anyone else not going through that road while you were going through?
ive seen a few cars that got stuck
green trees are green...how'd you stay awake mate?
I did enjoy the drive, the solitude and just living in my mind thinking about things etc while driving. i i didn't want to play music via the stereo and i considered using headphones for awhile but i enjoyed the quiet drive. also, lol i randomly scream in a few parts just for the fun of it.
So are there no speed limits when you’re driving through the desolate lands? Also what happens when you get stuck out there? Cause truckers here in the U.S aren’t allowed to pick up hitch hikers. So if you get stuck out there are you just fucked?
Yes there are speed limits. 65mph most of the way. Aus has LOTS of wild camels and Kangaroos in that area. trucker drivers will stop for you if they need too. Police drive that road like 2x a day So worst case is you flag down a police car. The local aboriginals you may come across 90% of the time are fine. i passed a few cyclists and they where fine. the road with the open speed limit you are thinking of is more inland, this was basically the costal route.
Wow another car👍
yeah, so true. lol
what is the Speed limit around 6:34 Mark?
6mins34second mark or the 6hr34min mark ? both are 110km/h
did you stay overnight in kimba
I had a powernap.
Green trees are green
Yes! Thanks for watching!
Just making sure that we have no upset Ford drivers that view this upload, yea, you could easily do this trip in a Ford, of course, you would need a towbar to tow the water tanker for your radiator, but yeahh, you could easily do this in a ford
yeah i think that rumor of fords using lots of water isnt really true now days, maybe 20 years ago but not today. surely
What kind of vehicle is that?
A Holden Ute. With a canopy. Pretty much the most australian car you can get :-)
You Video all your road trips?
Generally i do, If the video has not been done. yes.
Just up to where you come to the border village, you were doing ok till you got there, after that you did everything, wrong , like driving on the wrong side of the highway, you lucky you alive, and didn't take someone else with you.
what part are you talking about ?
play your video back and have a look at around when you in border Village.
@@lousilvestro9643 yep thats what fatigue does
@@AridersLifeYT yes, fatigue is a bugger, but you would not pay $79.00 for a room to have a good rest and shower for the night, that's why these facilities are there when you drive a long distance, you must refresh, we stopped 5 times on the same trip, on the next one we're going to stop 7 times.
@@lousilvestro9643 i had a camper type bed in the back, thats all i needed
How many days it take you?
3.5 days
Only who lives in continental country,like Russia,Chine,USA, Canada Brasil and Australia know what is like travelling that far.
Here in Brazil i travelled from porto alegre,rio grande do sul state to boa vista state of amapa, trip distance 6,200 km .
Who even drives without music!?! Weird... o.O
I did the entire drive with no music because i wanted to test my mental endurance. was actually nice just to drive and have your own thoughts.
@AdjrianNickelodean I do... What, do you get uncomfortable with your own thoughts buddy?
Hhh i can drive without music
I'm a musician/sound engineer and tbh I hate driving with music cz it's too distracting. I like to hear the engine and road noises, makes me feel more in control. Then again I live in England where we have heavy traffic and short journeys so not really comparable to this
Do we need any id verification to enter WA?
when i passed the checkpoint it was just my license and they looked at the car, thats all.
a.k.a. Ronniecoln Road Part 2
3:08:22 I wanna cheese whopper, chips and a coke...
love me a good whopper, haha can you tell.?
Grass
Part 1: th-cam.com/video/B7YKeiQLzWE/w-d-xo.html
You coulda put more ads... nOOb!
1 add every hour isnt that bad at all man considering everyone does 3 adds every 10 mins now days
why ?!
Mario, basically because no one has posted the entire Drive (footage) on youtube before. And i like to document such things. Strangely interesting to many people.
but is better the train . not with car
you dont see much if you go on the train
So desolate
Green trees are green.
Thanks for watching
What was that lady doing at the Nullabor roadhouse?
What point in the video?
@@AridersLifeYT 8:10:00 around this mark.
8:11:25 road kill hit. I don't remember if nullabor roadhouse saying was before or after.
7:45:48 the lady is at the nullabor roadhouse.
HAHAHA the nose picking lady.
Grass
