How do people see a straight road like that and not just boot it... I would probably lose my license and get kicked out of australia. Kudos to you for the self control, Sam!
Stopped for a pee at 2am on the Nullarbor road, my dog stood on the door lock button. Motor running, lights on, I'm locked out. Had to smash a window to get back in. Pup and I did not talk until we got to Eukla.
Sam.... The reason you take so much water isn't just in case you get thirsty. The reason you take so much water is in case you have a problem with your vehicle and are stuck on the side of the road for hours. You said it yourself, petrol stations are about every 150km. It's not like you can just go down to the corner store and buy a drink. Or in your case a coffee. Oh and we don't have rattlesnakes in oz.
I did 8000 kilometers in 10-12 days and i drank about 6 Liters a day, because we had no air conditioner. So i had to bring very much water for that trip. It makes a big difference, if you are sitting in an air conditioned car or not
@@chriso6666 ... and how many of you live outside? 90 % of you live on 0.22 % of the available landspace. So may be you know what may Australians do not know. But most of the time Australians do not know their own country. That's my own experience traveling through on a motorcycle. You have too many rules.
?? Most Aussies have been travelling. No idea where you got your information. As you were told the reason to take extra water is in case something goes wrong. Most travellers don’t cross as quickly as possible. They explore and look at things. If you drive an hour down some random road and your car breaks down it could be a few days of waiting or few hours of walking to find help.
Yeah i really don't see how this guy doesn't see that. You're driving through a desert for hundreds of KMs on end, and its like 40c outside or more. Sounds like the type of twit to walk into a shit neighborhood and start waving around cash until he gets robbed. Common sense I guess isn't a common attribute.
Most Aussies haven't driven the Nullarbor, so their advice comes from what their parents told them about the trip from the 1970s. However, having water is super, super important when you're in the desert. On any of those side road you drove down, had you hit a roo, you could have rolled the car or put yourself in a position where it was hard for passers-by to find you. Having more water than you need is cheap insurance. I've done the trip twice, and the first time was in a Mazda2. I left Melbourne on Saturday morning and got to Perth late on Sunday night, and I didn't drive past sunset on the Saturday. Just brought a swag and rolled it out a little ways off the highway. I was draining the fuel tank every two hours and almost ran out on the 90 Mile Straight (I had a small jerry can with me, thankfully - and loads of water). Interesting fact: the Mazda2 tops out at just over 170kph because it can't cut through the air. Also, Sam being scared of whales is THE most Sam thing in the entire fucking world.
Cops patrol that nulla straight ruthlessly. I drive that road many times each year. Get caught doing 30km/h over. cops take your car and you at the next truck stop to fend for yourself. 1000km from any major town.
One of your best videos I reckon. Amazing content that simply nobody else is doing. Still astounds me that your channel isn’t bigger considering the quality you’re producing
I'm from Perth Western Australia and I've done the trip a few times, the only thing that real Aussies are truly scared of are the 1. the cops, 2. livestock/roos that'll total your car and fly through your windscreen but most importantly 3. its a mind numbingly boring drive after the first few hours
@@doncoleman4938 And would also describe parts of I-10 in Texas in the United States (at least those that don't involve the cities of Houston, San Antonio or El Paso); I think that's where the expression came from, "The sun has risen, the sun has set, here I am in Texas yet."
@@bmasters1981 Can't say I've heard that saying. Then again my state is three times the size of Texas, so we don't think of the Lone Star State as big. Canadians probably think that too. I've visited the US on 14 occasions; never get bored because unlike here where there's miles and miles of nothing, at least you guys are always close to somewhere. Love travelling in the US. Cheers
From the west coast of the US, i watch your videos every morning before going off to school. Such a de-stress from probably my most difficult semesters yet. Thanks for making some of the most refreshing car content out there.
Sam, the recommendations for water were likely more for insurance than consumption. If you broke down, I think you would have been grateful for the water!
If you hit a Kangaroo, break down in the middle of No where in 46 degree C heat.. You will be thankful you packed the extra water. Your better off having the water with you then to be drinking your own pee Bear Grylls style just to survive. Its recommended for a reason. Not to scare you but to prepare you incase the worst does happen.
MrMagnat007 Well im in Ceduna right now I drove across the Nullarbor and im going bavk to Perth. If you broke down it wouldnt be long untill you see a car or truck. There is a reasonable amount of cars and trucks.
Hi Sam, just some info about the landing strip at 14:00. It is for RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service) aircraft, who are generally just for very sick emergency patients in remote areas!
Thanks Sam. Was just crossing the Nullabor in my Veyron, and saw a QANTAS Airbus land there! Asked the pilot what the story was, and he told me that the engine blew up on a flight from Sydney to Perth! Naturally, I called my favourite twitter user, who sent one of his personal 5-engined 747s out to the bush to replace one. What a jolly trip your sister and I had.
It's also worth noting that local police will shut the air strip down if it needs to be used. Or in some very remote cases the air strip has flashing warning lights to stop any traffic.
@@EA40 sorry to disappoint but there are no road legal Veyrons in Australia and no QANTAS plane has ever made an emergency landing there...…..and I doubt he knows Sam's sister.
My Nullarbor trip was 14hrs from Bordertown to Kalgoorlie. The best part was stopping to take a piss twice along the road and hearing nothing but a bit of wind. Its such a crazy place and I wished I had of parked for an hour and just taken the isolation in for longer.
Great job Sam 👍 I have done that trip a few times and if you give yourself plenty of time (4+ days is comfortable to me) then it is very enjoyable especially if you are with others. Most fear mongers are those who have never done the drive and probably never actually even been to Australia 🇦🇺 let alone crossed our great country by car! I would recommend to try and avoid driving at dusk or at night if you can as that is when most of the kangaroos 🦘 become active. During the day they are often under the shade of a tree having a nap 💤 Anyway, welcome to Perth Sam, it is a wonderful place to call home.
I've personally done this trip 3 times in a VW touareg and possibly looking at doing it again this year but in a Renault Clio 172/182. It's not too bad but you do have the occasional interception with a kangaroo, especially dangerous if driving into/towards the sun. Also fatigue is a massive thing to watch out for (nothing is stopping you from swaying into oncoming traffic or 80ton road train).
Mark, PMS are the initials for “Premenstrual Syndrome”, which every woman (except, perhaps, Mama Maria) has at LEAST once a month, when she cannot control her moods and emotions. And it seems from your impetuous response that you are experiencing some kind of premenstrual affliction, SLAVE? Incidentally, it’s called “Spell-Check”. Look into it, SILLY Sinful Slave.
Zach, it’s not considered to be good etiquette for a SLAVE to instruct her master or to provide unsolicited advice to her superiors. Is that fully understood, SLAVE?
As Jeremy Clarkson famously said, “there is no country on earth where the public perception of the country is further removed from the reality than Australia, it’s just tourism”, haha. Honestly, I’ve found that as long as you are on tarmac or ‘bitumen’ as they call it there not much to worry about. Once leaving that and going down tracks, that’s when you really need to think about preparing. Yeah, and the kangaroos, that can be a problem without a good bullbar :)
Hadn’t seen your videos before. Great footage, an interesting journey to a unique place, good music, and you’re not an annoying supercar-owning prick. Subscribed! Hope you’ve got more videos like this.
A few years back I drove across the US in an F150 Flareside I bought. Loved Chicago. Tonight I'm in Goondiwindi in country Queensland, and they showed the cold snap you guys are going through on the news, including dash cam footage from Grand Rapids, where a mate of mine lives! It's 30 plus degrees here, and you guys are putting up with negative 30! I figure we should all meet in Hawaii where I assume it's zero degrees...
Did the plains in Jan this year. We stayed at Cocklebiddy, great bar/food. The airstrips along the way are for the Flying Doctor mainly, but of course any aircraft needing to land in an emergency will take advantage of it. Just love The Nullabor. The stories we heard prior driving it sounded terrifying, turned out easy peasy. We also started from Ceduna, quaint little town.
It is a bloody tarmac highway these days you can cover it in 4/5 days no problem. You have a brand new Porsche which is reliable and quick. Watch the guy Henry Cole doing his best highways in the world. He does Australia too. Well worth it to actually see what the road is like.
Wonderful footage Sam, this is the video to show people what the Nullarbor is like, you've captured it perfectly. I loved my road trip across in both directions. It's a lovely drive, and I agree it's not empty or as desolate as people make out. The water / fuel concerns people have is of running out. Phone reception is patchy to non-existent, so you need to be prepared for a worst case scenario.
The closest they got to wolf creek is about 1400km, or 2100km by road. That's the distance to drive from France to Russia, or slightly less than the drive from Mexico to Canada.
Genuinely can’t wait for each segment of this vlog, loving each one! Maybe in parts because of my love and memories of travelling Australia, especially WA and driving the nullabor but honestly I’m really enjoying the trip so far, great content!
I wouldn’t recommend giving people advice like that Sam especially since you made the trip once in a new very reliable vehicle, the advice people gave you is 100% the advice that people need to be given, my father in law is a truck driver and he said that the amount of times he came across people who were injured, stranded and sometimes even dead due to not listening to people was shocking. Please don’t give out “tips” that could seriously risk someone’s life.
Really ???....I lived out there for around 10 years and was the Ambo operator at Cocklebiddy .....only a couple of deaths in that whole time from road accidents.....this is what is wrong ....so many urban myths .
@@jimbo58x And it's not like there isn't traffic. I did it years ago and you'd pass another driver every 20 to 30 minutes on average. it's not that bad.
I have driven this route between Perth and Melbourne multiple times. Now that I live outside Melbourne I will be doing the run over to Perth later this year although we rough it by camping out under the stars on the way across. It’s a fantastic experience and I love it every time I get to do it. Thank you for your insight into how you found it.
Most of the horror stories about crossing the Nullarbor date back to the time when it was dirt road They only started sealing the road in 1969 and didn't finish until 1976 so it is still fairly recent as major highways go Back then it was much more of an adventure but don't underestimate the need to carry extra water People have died of heatstroke out there quite recently when they have broken down away from the main road and have run out of water It can still be a very dangerous place if things go wrong due to the isolation
Hey Sam & Partner, Glad the Nullarbor region was a grand success!! You 2 are completing an adventure that only a few will ever take on in their lifetime. Thats totally AWESOME. Have fun & be safe. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada PS- parts of Canada had experienced -60 C. Not here but OMG!!!
I crossed the Nullabor straight in a little hatch twice. Started in Mackay and finished in Perth, it was a 7 day trip. Sleeping in the car, no hotels. But despite that it was the one of the best moments of my life.
Really, really loving this new series! I usually hate it when you go abroad because I prefer London videos, but you always find a way to make things entertaining haha - Have fun on the trip!! 😁✌🏽
adrian coyne You can’t complain. It is suppose to be for RFDS But it doesn’t hurt to use it as a Emergency Landing strip. Like your plane is going down and there is a strip infront of you but you cant use it? You just Killed 176 people.

Lol nah we aren’t scared of the Nullarbor, just bants to be honest, who ever told you there are rattlesnakes 100% was taking the piss.... we don’t have them. But if there is something that is true is that never go unprepared for desert trips, it can bite you in the arse more then a snake in the dunny.
Joe: F.I.S.H. Paragraph 1. The phenomenal universe which can be detected with our five senses is the manifestation of the unmanifested One Reality which most persons call “God”. Therefore, “God” is not a SEPARATE Person, distinct from His/Her creation but is fully omnipresent in the manifest universe - you, who are reading these words are That! The highest philosophy is known as “panentheism”, that is, God being one with but inconceivably and simultaneously distinct from the material universe. So the One Reality (God) is acting through each and every living creature (as well as the inanimate, to a lesser degree) in order to experience Himself in this play of duality, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded in his work “As You Like It”, when he scribed “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” This “story of life” has been preordained since the beginning of the universe (the so-called “Big Bang”). Therefore, free-will does not exist on the individual level but only on the universal plane, since there is only one Being in existence. To read the remaining thirty-nine paragraphs of “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, which the God of all gods has graciously given to His Prophet on Earth, email: prophet4god@icloud.com with the acronym “FISH” in the subject field.
Just to brag: I rode my bicycle across the Nullabor last September. :) Well, more than that. Perth to Newcastle (near Sydney), coast to coast. And headwinds the WHOLE way. :) But it was great!
I have a friend that drove 100 miles in 55 minutes on part of that road in a 1969 Holden Monaro 327 in 1970! I have been across it myself 3 times , 2 in a '69 brand new GT Ford Falcon from Perth to the Gold Coast and return non stop in 3 days and back again 10 days later with 4 drivers when the road was not fully sealed. Also in 1970 in a 1969 Triumph 205 PI on my own. Great drive
I just Made it by my self from Sydney to Perth through Adelaide about 3 weeks ago and used the same route and i miss it already and your video just reminded me of my beautiful lonely trip i will do it again for sure by willing of God
Great content all round Sam. Loving the videos so far. Liking the travel/car vlog aspect of your trip, already you've shown us so much and it's not even February yet! Good luck with your next leg.
Ah this takes me back to family holidays when I was a kid. We must have done the Nullarbor trip at least five times each way, but in way less luxury and time than this fine couple have done. For a time we lived in a town called Carnarvon and we drove from there to Adelaide in my Dad's clapped out Series IIIC Land Rover. No A/C, no car stereo, vinyl bench seats in the middle of summer and five days driving. That was pretty rugged. All told it was about 4,000km. There were other times as well that were done in way less time where the old man drove 12-14 hours each day, with stops only for fuel. That's hard yards. The advice about not driving at night is absolutely spot on. The 'roos are everywhere.

A few years back I drove across the US in an F150 Flareside I bought. Loved Chicago. Tonight I'm in Goondiwindi in country Queensland, and they showed the cold snap you guys are going through on the news, including dash cam footage from Grand Rapids, where a mate of mine lives! It's 30 plus degrees here, and you guys are putting up with negative 30! I figure we should all meet in Hawaii where I assume it's zero degrees...
Illinois is great..... in the summer
@@davidtaylor857 when it's not 109°F
Antumbric my gf is from champagne I’ll. I’ve spent a lot of time there. I’m in Kentucky , not much better weather here
Did the plains in Jan this year. We stayed at Cocklebiddy, great bar/food. The airstrips along the way are for the Flying Doctor mainly, but of course any aircraft needing to land in an emergency will take advantage of it.
Just love The Nullabor. The stories we heard prior driving it sounded terrifying, turned out easy peasy.
We also started from Ceduna, quaint little town.
It is a bloody tarmac highway these days you can cover it in 4/5 days no problem. You have a brand new Porsche which is reliable and quick. Watch the guy Henry Cole doing his best highways in the world. He does Australia too. Well worth it to actually see what the road is like.
Wonderful footage Sam, this is the video to show people what the Nullarbor is like, you've captured it perfectly. I loved my road trip across in both directions. It's a lovely drive, and I agree it's not empty or as desolate as people make out.
The water / fuel concerns people have is of running out. Phone reception is patchy to non-existent, so you need to be prepared for a worst case scenario.
wonder if the guy from Wolf Creek is lurking about in his tow truck somewhere? ;-)
CWH 18 ,where else would he be?
Who do you think was filming?
The closest they got to wolf creek is about 1400km, or 2100km by road. That's the distance to drive from France to Russia, or slightly less than the drive from Mexico to Canada.
Genuinely can’t wait for each segment of this vlog, loving each one! Maybe in parts because of my love and memories of travelling Australia, especially WA and driving the nullabor but honestly I’m really enjoying the trip so far, great content!
Bet you’re happy you didn’t take the Macan now huh?!
Love love loving the Australia vlogs
49th - this should be an amazing video.
Fake cheese and ham doesn’t constitute as fresh produce...
One of your top 3 videos
I wouldn’t recommend giving people advice like that Sam especially since you made the trip once in a new very reliable vehicle, the advice people gave you is 100% the advice that people need to be given, my father in law is a truck driver and he said that the amount of times he came across people who were injured, stranded and sometimes even dead due to not listening to people was shocking. Please don’t give out “tips” that could seriously risk someone’s life.
Jeremy Clarkson well said mate
twah72 I’m not trying to be an asshole to Sam, but I think he shouldn’t be commenting on this stuff when he’s incredibly inexperienced
Jeremy Clarkson I can see that mate, you got the message across nicely 👍
Really ???....I lived out there for around 10 years and was the Ambo operator at Cocklebiddy .....only a couple of deaths in that whole time from road accidents.....this is what is wrong ....so many urban myths .
@@jimbo58x And it's not like there isn't traffic. I did it years ago and you'd pass another driver every 20 to 30 minutes on average. it's not that bad.
I have driven this route between Perth and Melbourne multiple times. Now that I live outside Melbourne I will be doing the run over to Perth later this year although we rough it by camping out under the stars on the way across. It’s a fantastic experience and I love it every time I get to do it. Thank you for your insight into how you found it.
Great video again. Always catchy tunes too - is there a playlist/tracklist? What's the one that starts at 4:28?
same question dude!! great song it is, but couldn't find it anywhere..
@@avinashlp713 It's called Grow Up by Gloria Tells...........phew....
@@jonburrough1452 thanks a ton dude!! Amazing song it is
Sensational presentation. Loved it. Thanks.
Most of the horror stories about crossing the Nullarbor date back to the time when it was dirt road
They only started sealing the road in 1969 and didn't finish until 1976 so it is still fairly recent as major highways go
Back then it was much more of an adventure but don't underestimate the need to carry extra water
People have died of heatstroke out there quite recently when they have broken down away from the main road and have run out of water
It can still be a very dangerous place if things go wrong due to the isolation
The most inspiring journey, Sam. Have fun
ok what, youre gonna have to explain your fear of whales
That might have something to do with his Uncle Jonah!
Mildly ironic for a Porsche driver. Good thing he doesn’t have a 911 Whale Tail.
@@lor7780 No they aren't.
Hey Sam & Partner,
Glad the Nullarbor region was a grand success!!
You 2 are completing an adventure that only a few will ever take on in their lifetime.
Thats totally AWESOME.
Have fun & be safe.
Cheers from Vancouver, Canada
PS- parts of Canada had experienced -60 C. Not here but OMG!!!
Sam are you going to come to malaysia as its shown that you are wearing a nasi goreng supreme shirt
Ian Koh Wait wut!!!! Nasi goreng isn’t dutch??? 😉
Dutch1975 ik but nasi goreng is a dish that is served in my country Malaysia therfore I say it's a nasi goreng supreme shirt
I crossed the Nullabor straight in a little hatch twice. Started in Mackay and finished in Perth, it was a 7 day trip. Sleeping in the car, no hotels. But despite that it was the one of the best moments of my life.
Its not the worlds longest straight road, its Australia's...
Really, really loving this new series! I usually hate it when you go abroad because I prefer London videos, but you always find a way to make things entertaining haha - Have fun on the trip!! 😁✌🏽
you silly duffa,the landing strip is for the royal flying doctor service not for emergency landings
adrian coyne You can’t complain. It is suppose to be for RFDS But it doesn’t hurt to use it as a Emergency Landing strip. Like your plane is going down and there is a strip infront of you but you cant use it?
You just Killed 176 people.
Best video yet. Loved this one Sam!
Nice video.
But rattlesnakes?
In Australia?
I thought it was only living in America.
Anyway great work.
Nah, everything in Australia is evil
No Rattlesnakes in Australia, No Tigers in Australia, No Bears in Australia, a virtual paradise compared to most Countries.
Pretty sure he was referring to his pee-pee when he said that.
We have 10 of the worlds most dangerous snakes. Enjoy !
@@gbsailing9436 No Black Mambas at least.
Some great scenery, loving this Australia vlogs
How do u film the Ariel shots?????
It's called a drone dumb dumb
Probably let's his gf drive while he follows with the drone?
@@jojacvonkekebau3686
The mavic has auto follow tech,
You have a receiver in the car, bike or whatever
And you set the drone off,
It will then auto follow and film you as you drive/ride/walk/ski whatever you fancy :-)
the drone shot with the dust tho! so so cool sam you are winning
Lol nah we aren’t scared of the Nullarbor, just bants to be honest, who ever told you there are rattlesnakes 100% was taking the piss.... we don’t have them. But if there is something that is true is that never go unprepared for desert trips, it can bite you in the arse more then a snake in the dunny.
We have more dangerous snakes than them
Love your content! i dont understand why you not have a million subcribers?? you deserve it!
"Second Longest." Saudi Arabia has one that's 260 km long.
That one is not only perfectly straight, it doesn't even have any elevation changes. Completely flat.. well, it follows the curvature of the Earth.
I’m loving this series Sam keep it up

But does he????
Joe:
F.I.S.H. Paragraph 1. The phenomenal universe which can be detected with our five senses is the manifestation of the unmanifested One Reality which most persons call “God”. Therefore, “God” is not a SEPARATE Person, distinct from His/Her creation but is fully omnipresent in the manifest universe - you, who are reading these words are That! The highest philosophy is known as “panentheism”, that is, God being one with but inconceivably and simultaneously distinct from the material universe. So the One Reality (God) is acting through each and every living creature (as well as the inanimate, to a lesser degree) in order to experience Himself in this play of duality, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded in his work “As You Like It”, when he scribed “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” This “story of life” has been preordained since the beginning of the universe (the so-called “Big Bang”). Therefore, free-will does not exist on the individual level but only on the universal plane, since there is only one Being in existence.

Just to brag: I rode my bicycle across the Nullabor last September. :) Well, more than that. Perth to Newcastle (near Sydney), coast to coast. And headwinds the WHOLE way. :) But it was great!
Max Randall was that the compassion bike trip. Well done 👍
@@joelbibleminorprophet3411 Hehe! yep it was. I still dream about the things we saw and experienced. :)
best thumbnail of this year so far
Love the epic scenery and the way you capture it, love the pacing, and love the music. Can't wait for more! :)
Amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing it.
All the best from Portugal
Those drone shots are absolutely epic!
Very nice trip Sam... Hats down to you! Epic! I love the Porsche!
The great ozzie outdoor.... Kudos for ya sam....
Awesome vlog. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful view 🤩
What an experience ! Thanks so much for sharing
cinematography is on-point
I have a friend that drove 100 miles in 55 minutes on part of that road in a 1969 Holden Monaro 327 in 1970!
I have been across it myself 3 times , 2 in a '69 brand new GT Ford Falcon from Perth to the Gold Coast and return non stop in 3 days and back again 10 days later with 4 drivers when the road was not fully sealed.
Also in 1970 in a 1969 Triumph 205 PI on my own.
Great drive
I'm all in to adventure driving. I've been all over the US. Thanks for teaching me about Australia.
Dude.... It's only the beginning of your journey... AND I'M HOOKED, I LOVE IT MAN :D
This content mate... Genuinely speechless.
That's a badass car.
I just Made it by my self from Sydney to Perth through Adelaide about 3 weeks ago and used the same route and i miss it already and your video just reminded me of my beautiful lonely trip i will do it again for sure by willing of God
Top vid as usual, once in a lifetime experience to travel as you are
on my bucket list ! what a cool adventure
Australia seems like an extremely interesting country, would love to visit one day:)
Super video Sam. Keep them coming. Cheers.
Awesome, hope you get to 1 mil subs ASAP. The dust on the dashboard....
loving drive the world so far Sam, keep it up fella
Great content all round Sam. Loving the videos so far. Liking the travel/car vlog aspect of your trip, already you've shown us so much and it's not even February yet! Good luck with your next leg.
Amazing video Sam! Really enjoyed it!!
Ah this takes me back to family holidays when I was a kid. We must have done the Nullarbor trip at least five times each way, but in way less luxury and time than this fine couple have done. For a time we lived in a town called Carnarvon and we drove from there to Adelaide in my Dad's clapped out Series IIIC Land Rover. No A/C, no car stereo, vinyl bench seats in the middle of summer and five days driving. That was pretty rugged. All told it was about 4,000km. There were other times as well that were done in way less time where the old man drove 12-14 hours each day, with stops only for fuel. That's hard yards. The advice about not driving at night is absolutely spot on. The 'roos are everywhere.
This is the type of roadtrip video I was looking forward to! This is way more exciting than the stationary hotel videos! Keep it up!
