  • The highway from Darwin to Perth in the Kimberley region in Western Australia was closed for 24 hours when the road flooded in January 2017. This compilation is of some of those big rigs that were waiting to cross when the river dropped (as well as some other footage of earlier in the wet season).

    As an American Trucker at 60, I am getting to see what you have to do to try to take care of the needs of the people in the cities that are not connected by trains.
    3 full trailers as the normal are unique all unto itself. Congrats to all that you do. Job well done. You don't see Swift type of nonsense down under. Real truckers that mean what they do.

    Fuel tanks are approximately 400 to 450 litres each. 4 of them gives a range of Brisbane to Melbourne return with half fuel left or approximately 3800 kms

    Missing from this video is thsee professional truckies testing the water depth beforehand - which is done on foot or knowing that stretch of road and knowing first hand the depth of the flood. If I had my time again, I'd progress to being a road train driver.

      I am sick and tired of all the yankeeisms (if that's a word) that have found their way into the Australian way of life. 4WD's being called trucks really gets my blood running also. Then a delivery driver called me "bro".
      I drive a car and it happens to be a 4wd Toyota.
      FYI @aussiefirie One nephew was a firie in CBR and then in Wagga was an ambo then paramedic. Passed on now. Rob (nee Bob) was as good as they come.
