Amazing, amazing, AMAZING channel Johnno! Just found it and now subscribed. Mate this is the second one of yours I’ve watched and your production is exquisite! Was expecting an “Outback Truckers” type of channel (which I really like by the way that’s why I checked it), but yours are that combined with an Aussie travel show really, and the best damn travel show I’ve seen since Alby Mangels was tearing around. You leave every single over-produced, starlet-featuring commercial TV travel show in your dust mate. Am loving what you’re doing, and having travelled extensively around the country myself through work and leisure, I’m enjoying the memories of the highways and towns you show. Takes me back and makes me very happy! Cheers mate!
Thank you very much for your kind words. I do try to give the viewers a lot to take in and experience. So glad you love the channel and feel free to give any suggestions for future shows.
Yourself and homeless are by far the best content in the world for truckin mate . I watch a lot of the US guys and English but you guys take it to a different level .
Thanks heaps. We just got to get Ken to 10,000 subs now.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Ken well deserve that.
😂😂😂😂😂🎉
@manjulamail For sure
Your videos just get better and better mate. Thank you
Awesome. Thanks Daniel.
Thank you SO much Johnno for the wonderful video of the Town History and trip to Port Hedland. Stay Safe mate.
Thanks heaps. You'll have to stay tuned for next week where part 2 has the conclusion.
DunnyDoo is a lovely place!
Yes it is. I had trouble saying that name correctly.
Johno, I think this is one of the most beautiful places on earth👍👍👍
Thanks Raymond. You got that right. For sure.
@@RoadTrainAdventures it’s totally mesmerizing to me. I’ll never get to go there, but thank you for sharing the beauty.
Fantastic photography Jonno, really appreciate you sharing Australia 🇦🇺
Very nice. Thanks for watching.
Superb, now for part II... :)
Very good. Thanks Alex
Thank you so much Johnno
Awesome. Thanks Martin
Looking forward to seeing parts 2 and 3 and possibly 4, excellent, Ken may get jealous. Ray.
Awesome. Thanks Ray. No Ken's videos are still beret than mine but yes stay tuned for part 2.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Loved this Johnno. The drone footage was breathtaking particularly at the end over Bunda Cliffs. Can’t wait for the next episode. Thank you for sharing your journey and your trucking life. ❤
Awesome. Thanks again Karen
I love seeing Australia with you bunjie, thank you for taking us all along, stay safe brother!!!
Awesome. Thanks Bruce.
G'day Johnno, I had a load of roofing etc for the Dunedoo Hotel, and by the time the trailer was unloaded it was dinner time, and I had to drive back to Bathurst. The landlord come in and have dinner on me before you go, like you discovered, it was the best pub dinner I've had! Like your videos, now I'm retired they get me back in the cab. Stay safe,shiny side up!
There's a great story. Thanks Dennis. Good to hear you had a great experience there too.
Beaut! 👍
Awesome. Thanks
That's a shocker driving straight into the sun Johnno
I know hey. Go figure that one.
The best way to see Australia . Love the videos . Thank you for the effort from the Uk.
Awesome. Thanks Rich. It's great to have more people from the UK.
Deepest sympathy for the loss of life in the accident Johno. Stay safe mate. That piece of music played over the drone footage on the coast was fantastic, love it mate.
Thanks. I'm glad you'd liked the music too.
Another rippa Johno. Love watching them. Keep them coming. Thanks. 👍👍
Awesome. Thanks Bill. Stay tuned for part 2.
Great stuff Johnno, bring on part 2 👍🇦🇺
Thanks Rick
That barra looked so good, and I'll have to try those oysters at Ceduna one day for sure. What a glorious country. Pretty damn good, John. Thank you so much, you awesome truckies, who invite us along to enjoy the ride right across this beautiful continent. I am so grateful. May you have many, many more safe miles ahead of you.
I pay my respects to the truckies who lost their lives on this trip and my condolences to their families and to the whole trucking community who lost one of their own, who work so hard covering the kay's to try keep this country running. I dip my hat to all of you. 🧢👍🏽🇦🇺
Thanks heaps for all your kind words.
Another fantastic ride, beautiful country, stay safe and have a great day.
Awesome. Thanks Kim
AWESOME...Thanks Johnno,I have recently discovered your channel which has also led me to 'the homeless trucky'. What a privilege to be able to travel across this great land with you guys. Appreciate the work you do. Thankyou
Awesome. Thanks Anne. It's great to have you along.
A gourmet truckie!!! Love it!!
For sure. Thanks Rex
It's a very diverse and wonderful country we live in Johnno. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Looking forward to the next part of the journey. Stay safe.👍
Thanks Brett. This was a long one this time.
👍
Great video again Johnno! Thanks mate. Healthy eating travel tip if you're interested. Pre trip buy all the ingredients you think you need for salads, ham, chicken as well... then at night time peel and slice them all up into a container ready for a grazing pack to have while you're driving along. Dinner time, I used to pull up and get out of the fridge individual or portioned steak, chops, sausages etc which the local butcher had vacuumed sealed for me, cut up some fresh salads, quick fry up on the portable gas stove, cut up tomorrows grazing pack....
Thanks again. I'm too lazy to cook or prepare anything hence the reason I buy my meals, ready to eat.
Thanks for taking the time to entertain us 👍
Awesome. Thanks Steve. It's my pleasure.
Mate every video u make u just inspire me to drive road train myself
Ha ha. Thanks. Come on out. We need more good operators.
Thank you Johno, wonderful video 👏👏
Very nice. Thanks David
Bloody brilliant mate.
Very nice. Thanks Brian
Another great episode closer to home (newcastle) this time great photos and drone shots once again. Take care
Awesome. Thanks Steve. Oddly enough I'm back in Newcastle right now.
You have super videos , hi level production ...Congratulations from Belgrade, Serbia.
Awesome. Thanks Alex. It's great to have you along from Belgrade.
Thanks Johnno for another great video.
Safe travels and take care
Very nice. Thanks Richard
Cheers buddy for helping me while away the afo with some great shots an commentary. Stay safe n travel well. The Ol' Fella Greg.🤎
Awesome. Thanks Greg
Thank you so much for the wonderful video and great content. I truly enjoy watching you travel across Australia. Watching on the big screen from Kentucky.
Oh very nice. It's great to have you along.
Thanks for giving up your time and showing us this great, great big country Johno we understand you get paid by the km, very humble of you.
Tony
Awesome. Thanks Tony
32.09 looks like a stick man climbing the cliffs yup Im nuts !!!!!!!!
Yes they're made out of steel.
Always enjoy your videos Jono, but this one was particularly good. Great shots and a bit of history. Gotta love the Bunda cliffs. Fantastic. Thank you!
Awesome. Thanks Simon. Yes this one was a lot bigger and involved a lot of work.
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
Awesome. Thanks for watching Andre.
Great video, thanks mate
Thanks again Craig
I had lunch at that pub in Dunedoo a few weeks ago. A good feed!!
Oh Good one
Wow so impressive
Thanks Jonathan
Fantastic work, thx a lot! :)
Awesome. Thanks Marca
My condolences Johno🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks Raymond
@@RoadTrainAdventures you’re welcome, brother. I’m always sorry to hear about a loss life.
Yes it's terrible but unfortunately that's a part of life.
Excellent trip enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for the great content. Safe travels mate.
Awesome. Thanks Ian
Great content...very entertaining.
Awesome. Thanks Tony
another great adventure , well done johnno.
Awesome. Thanks Ken
Nice video, great shots
Very nice. Thanks heaps
Thanks for sharing another entertaining video. The photography is amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed the travelogue aspect. Safe travels.
Awesome. Thanks Ron
Johno, them cows seem to have a mind of their own. Looks like they think they own the road.😂😂😂
You got that right Raymond. They're certainly not afraid of my big truck but if I were to get out of the truck they would probably run.
Awesome video Johno, some cracking drone shots there mate, safe travels ahead!
Awesome. Thanks Martin
Great video Johnno ! Loved seeing the towns and commentary of the history along the way! Really great to see the changing landscape from the truck. Bunda cliffs look mesmerising and great drone footage! I wouldnt get too close to the edge though! Look forward to Part 2. Thank you!
Very nice. Thanks Jo. Yes we live in a great country.
Salads, call into a supermarket, prepackaged, prepare prior to driving, and trays of cakes, slices, fruit, Health food section find healthy snack bars. Set up a small fridge or Esky in the truck. Spend the savings on disposable cutlery. Sandwiches, or rolls buy at the supermarket, cold meat, and salad mix, Sandwich bags or cling wrap, buy water and drinks. The time it takes to wait for service, you can prepare the food yourself. Hot cooked meal can be cheaper at lunch times pubs or clubs, in the country towns. Portable tables and chairs come in all shapes and sizes these days, for meal preparation. As a traveller i also pack a small gas burner, for making hot drinks myself..
Thanks Leanne but this is something I don't like doing. I've never liked preparing meals or cooking. I usually buy Subway for a healthier meal or if the fast food. I do have a fridge for milk as I have cereal.
Thanks for the ride. I'm in the U.S., but always wanted to go to Australia, never was able. At least I get to see some of it thanks to you. I watch a trucker here if he's driving he's streaming live called ride along. we have a few Australian's who watch. Safe travels Thanks again ----- Desert Rat
Awesome. Well it's great to have you along.
A really great video. it gives me itchy feet to go back on the road.
Maybe you could do a run somewhere.
Great video Johno 👍
Thanks Mark
👌
Beautiful Australian 😍
Very beautiful.
Great video mate, your videos are getting better and better. Loved the focus on Dunedoo. My Grand Father ran the Dunedoo freezing works way back in the 1930s and my Mum was born there in 1935. We visited the town just 3 weeks ago to have a look around. Great country town with good parking for heavy vehicles. Looking forward to part 2 of your trip.
Awesome. Thanks Peter
Quite intresting mate thumbs ups
Very nice. Thanks for watching
You are like Ken,,, a machine, keep up the great video’s 👍safe travels mate
Thanks Lance. We have to help Ken get to 10,000 subs
Great video johno .😊
Awesome. Thanks Scott
Hello,a beautiful long route

You Guys do a Great job.Regards the Kiwi
Awesome. Thanks Marcus
Ripper video again Johnno, heading across to WA in a few weeks from Phillip Island for 3 mths. Will keep a eye out for you.
Yes let me know when you're going across and maybe we will be able to catch up with you.
Great video Jonno, especially once you got west of port Augusta, I have never been out there.
Oh awesome. Thanks Robert
Great as always 👍
Awesome. Thanks Ehsan.
@@RoadTrainAdventures 🙏🙏
👍👍👌👌👍
Another great Vlog, you give excellent commentary, and those history notes about the towns you pass through are fantastic, I can see a secondary occupation as a tour driver/ tour guide to our o/s visitors,& eating on the road is hard to get value for money, great music selection too, love your work Johnno,cheers from Downunder ❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
Awesome. Thanks again for those kind words. If I don't make it as a truck driver then I'll certainly keep that in mind.
love your videos matey,,hello from ENGLAND
Oh very nice. It's great to have you along from England.
Hey Johnno awesome awesome awesome magnificent. Roll on part 2 .
Very nice. Thanks Bruce. It should be out on Sunday afternoon.
@@RoadTrainAdventures thanks Johnno

JOHN'O. This vlog is next level , I don't know if ure going to be able to top it , ps keep doing what ure doing , garented the viewers abroad are falling out of there seats , wow young fella , next level is an understatement .😁👉👍✌️
Awesome. Thanks Andre
G'day Johnno,
Thanks for taking us along again , was a nice run .
The fish & oysters looked pretty good.
You do better to get ya salad at the local fruit shop ,keep it in a Tupperware container ,
fresher cheaper ,so nice fruit.
Respect....!
Thanks Craig. I'm a bit lazy when it comes to preparing food. I just want to eat it, not prepare it.
another great video, we did the bight on our bike but wished we had stopped at the Bunda cliffs and used our drone your photography is fantastic!!
Awesome. Thanks. I like your job better. You can ride anywhere.
The portrait of Winx, Chris Waller and Hugh Bowman was done by a very well respected equine artist formerly from Dubbo but now living in Dorrigo, Peter Mortimore - I know Peter very well as he was a client of my dad’s workshop until he moved to Dorrigo
Oh very nice. I'll be in Dubbo later today.
Amazing. You do better than any TV program. Even dos Ken @The Homeless trucky. Was lucky to see his vid. Cant wait til part two. Then heading north to Darwin? Seems to be floding problems last week on the road to Darwin.
Thanks heaps. I wish I would go to Darwin. One day
Another good one Johnno. Nice wrap on Dunedoo, I have been through there e few times, it’s a good little town. We are just back from a trip to SA Peninsulas and came back through Deni, Wagga and the Southern Highlands. Didn’t see your yard though. I thought I hadn’t been to Deni before but discovered I had many years ago. Great drone work at the Bunda Cliffs. Jeff
Awesome. Thanks Jeff. Our yard in on the main road out of town towards Wakool.
New sub here, loved it!
Awesome. Thanks for that Stuart. It's great to have you along.
Geez I wouldn’t want to be driving round those cliffs at night 🫣
No. Imagine forgetting where you are and walking over the edge. You'll only do that once.
You’ve traverse so much of this great land mate and it looks fantastic on film, I feel like pulling the plug and heading west
Oh sorry.. I'll slow down a bit. Ha ha. Yes come on over to the dark side.
@@RoadTrainAdventures can’t imagine too many running singles over there unless your doing oversize work.
Don't you have MC? I just assumed you did.
@@RoadTrainAdventures oh no, nocked it back twice. If I was over there maybe, but here there’s too many places built for horse and cart they expect a b double to get into.
I see. Well it's certainly not too late. The dark side awaits.
Great video , drone shots . You bought back memories of our road trip to Adelaide through them towns you travelled . I was planning on staying at Wilcannia years ago on a solo motorcycle trip , and i was telling a bloke at work before i left home . He said Wilcannia ? and i said yes , he then told me in depth about the place , and he told me to stay at SILVERTON HOTEL instead , so i took his advice ,
Safe travels
Awesome. Thanks Brett. You might have been OK staying in Wilcannia but who knows.
Thanks
Very nice. Thank you very much for your kind donation.
G'day Johno,
Working Saturday beautiful day in Melbourne.
Great video thoroughly enjoyed it & mate licking my lips looking at those oysters.
Stay safe out on the road plenty of naf nuts out there.
Catch in Melbourne sometime soon.
Cheers
Louis Kats 👍
Awesome. Thanks Louis. I'm over near Leonora now.
@@RoadTrainAdventures
Safe travels buddy
Cheers
Louis 👍
Thanks Louis
Nice one Johnno. I'm on day 9 with the throat and snot thing. After day 4 it wasn't to bad.
Half the Toll drivers went home on sick leave with it, so all us subbies had to cover for then as usual.'
I stopped at the cliffs a few times back when I was in my Louisville (a while ago ) I'll be glad to get back on the fish.
Thanks heaps. I've still got a little cough.
Love your videos as well as homeless videos you guys are amazing keeping Australia moving.
Ps a big thumbs up from Perth WA
I'll be back in Perth by next Tuesday I think. Yes The Homeless Truckie is awesome too.
@@RoadTrainAdventures
Cool keep safe on the roads
I work as a Driver Trainer in Maddington trying to keep the future truck drivers safe and enjoy their truck driving adventures.
That's where I got my HR. Keen Bros I think it was.
@@RoadTrainAdventures
Omg really that’s the company I work for 😀
The owners are so amazing and have so much knowledge and experience.
If you get time feel free to pop in.
For sure
good video, but when you say iron knob is just a hole in the ground , dont forget it was the beginning of australias steel industry and still being used today, also iron knob and whyalla is where the comedian billy connelly discovered the true australian culture, sadly the original iron knob pub burnt to the ground many years ago.
Oh that's a nice bit of history. I didn't do any research into the area so maybe I'll have to look into areas before talking about them next.
Your editing skill have stepped up a notch or 3... If it wasn't for cops like Geoff I would have jumped back in the cab
Ha ha. Yes that area is a mine field.
Brilliant video so far Johnno, looking forward to Part 2. Hungry Jacks, what no Oportos out there lolol. Cliffs stunning, will hopefully see them in October. How cool is that trip, i'd love every part of it. Oh and last of all thank you 😊😊😊
Awesome. Thanks Kylie. No Oporto. I forget if you're driving across our flying?
@@RoadTrainAdventures Will be flying there then jumping in a car for a few weeks travelling around
Oh so you'll miss the Bunda Cliffs.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Not sure of the exact route just yet as i'm not planning the itinerary this time
OK
Been through Dunn E Doo a lot Johno 😁
That name was hard for me to say correctly each time.
Johnno "down under" next you will be doing "getaway " love it keep it up
Ha ha. Thanks Brayden I'll need a bit more practice first.
👍Thankyou and sincere best wishes for your channel johno,liked subscribed and very much enjoyed,thanks to you and Brad another Aussie truckie on UA-cam,I'm getting to share the heaven on earth,views of Australia,outstanding 10/10,good on yer from the UK.Trucking itsin the blood.🤟😊
Awesome. Thanks M. If you like my channel then you'll also love The Homeless Truckie. He has many camera views like my videos.
@@RoadTrainAdventures done mate,your a gent so no brainer, Aussie truckies kicking a is that the time,?Respect No wuckas,don't change,many thanks to all three.😊👍💪🤟real people grafting,
Oh so you had a look at The Homeless Truckie? He's a friend who I think makes even better videos than mine.
@@RoadTrainAdventures your a gent you looked out for Brad,I'm owd😊so respect,Thankyou,I'm mean that,you Aussies are modest,and thatl do for me,yes sir!
Well thanks for your kind words.
Haha Geoff has got quite a few of us from yunta
Not me and that's not without trying. I don't show down through his area. Just hold it flat. Ha ha
The best brekky and coffee I had last time from Queensland to WA was at Nevertire rural traders. Who’d a thought it?
Oh I might try to check them out.
As you say the show must go on,as a trucker partner I feel for you all,rain hail snow wind sun you bloke have it all,we all know the famous saying ,get some lemon and hot water honey,instead of coffee,eat garlic with all food or on it own,if my partner comes home and smell like garlic,I know he being a bit sick,he hard to kiss smelling like a garlic paddock 😂,good video.
Thanks Annette. I normally don't take anything. Just press on.
Hey Mate, Love your content. Only been following for a few months. Drive Safe and if you ever stop overnight at the Cappi give us a holla. Show you the best spots for food in Newman. Pete
I'm on my way up to the same place on this video so I might take you up on that. Might be good for another video.
Are you going to be free this Sunday or Monday. That's when I'll be.
Buy some fruit, orange's, banana's to supplement the oily meals,anyway good show,well done!?????
Thanks Rod. You're right I should buy more fruit.
Very enjoyable. Not a bad job getting paid to see all that. I definitely think I would have enjoyed the trucking lifestyle. Too bloody old now. Should have got into it 20 years ago. I have only been to Willcania once. Something like 20 years ago. I got the same spiel then about don't stop. Or not to let anything out of your sight. I don't seem to remember there being as much there then. I remember the old post office by a servo. The Church. The Pub. But can't really place much else. Memory fading. Old age doesn't do you much good.
Thanks Dave. Yes it's great seeing things and places you've been to in the past.
Great video mate. I reckon those cows were north of Pretty Pine, could be wrong though. I haven’t been to Dunedoo for a few years but that parking bay is one of the better ones and there was a good little cafe over the road with a decent shower last time I was there. Quiet parking bays are few and far between once you leave Newcastle.
You're close. Those cows were between Jerilderie and Urana on the way to Wagga.. I'm dying the same run as this video right now so I went to that pub for the same meal again. Very nice.
When are you going to make a video again?
@@RoadTrainAdventuresI did make a short one the other day about the truck engine to keep in the loop. It’s a lot of work making videos haha. It must take you hours with all that editing. I watched your video near Yalata where Slim left us, I think just about everyone knew him. As for Jeffrey, last time I heard he was at Yunta but I haven’t been that way for a couple of years. Looking forward to part 2 of the Hedland run.
I just watched your video. Wow it's been a while.
Hi Jonno. First of all, my condolences to the families of the truck drivers, which is very sad news. The roads are unfortunately still as dangerous as ever. Thanks again for a great video. How many kilometers did you travel for this adventure, and how long? Thank you also for giving us a bit of history about the cities you pass through, this is very interesting for me who am in France and excellent to know your beautiful country. I hope your cold is getting better. 😉😉
Thanks Jerome. I think it was about 5000km all up. Which took four and a half days. I'll answer your email once I get up from resting.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Thank you and have a nice rest. No rush for the mail.
👍
The accident was bad rip to the familes involved in I just had some oyster from Cowell I love oyster good with wolchter sauce
Yeah the old oysters are nice. I love any seafood.
Fantastic views the towns seem nice places to visit, sorry about goat I’m assuming they are wild it’s very flat after Port Augusta.
Sad news about the head on accident and sadly loss of lives, the downside of trucking or adventures people make on roads in Australia everyday.😢
Nearly missed the end, at the Quarantine Station and the Journey to Norsmen.
Don’t look down Johnno, till part 2😊
Thanks Rick. Yes the ups and downs of life hey.
