    Hi Johnno
    I know Roelands Hill very well. The views from the top looking towards the coastal plains with the Indian Ocean back ground and Bunbury in the distance are fabulous, especially on a beautiful clear day such as you had. As a kid I remember the original road snaking its way down the escarpment - very narrow, windy with some sharp corners and steep drop offs. On one occasion when descending the hill we had an electrical short in our Holden farm ute and needed an auto electrician to repair the damage before proceeding. Alls well that ends well.
    Thanks for another nice video

We are planning to overnight at Campbelltown, just South of Sydney, and get up about 3am to go through to Heatherdale for a breakfast pie, then on to Surfers.

      Hanks Johnno for another one of your works of art. Beautiful countryside and views, beautiful weather, but a long uphill slogg. Would love to have seen the temperature gauge at the top of the hill. Take care, Johnno. I'm looking forward to the next instalment. Sarah from Tasmania.

      Thanks Dennis. The bug deflectors are very good and stopping nearly all bugs from hitting the window.

      I don't remember looking at the speed so I can't be sure. I was always looking at the rpm.

    Looks like all 4 could have fit on one trailer... are they too heavy, or did you need to take the second trailer and balance the load or was it some other reason?
    Also the second from the front had a dent did someone not load it well?

    • @RoadTrainAdventures
      @RoadTrainAdventures  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes the reels were too heavy for one trailer. I didn't notice the dent but it was probably only to the wrapping.

    • @RoadTrainAdventures
      @RoadTrainAdventures  4 місяці тому

      It stays down because I select a low enough gear so I don't have to keep the throttle down to high. The water might have got to 97 degrees.
