I got a road train load going from Perth to Emerald, Queensland #roadtrain #roadtrainadventures #roadtrainsaustralia #loading #truck #trucks #trucking #truckdriving
Johnno. Those tracking shots going over the new bridge at Port Augusta were sensational. By the way got an idea for an episode for you. Reckon a video on the story of Lumbars and how they operate would be really interesting. Keep up the great work.
Another awesome video Johnno. Great country between Cobar and Charleville. Know those roads well. Love the new drone shots too mate. Safe travels. Hot time of the year.
I was in that heat in Qld. Just had a short break in the heat. Now building back up again. And only October. Lovely footage. New drone superb. For that sort of money it should be. Keep dodging the fires. Plenty around my area. Retired from rural fire brigade these days. Getting too old to drag hoses up hills in the heat. Shout out to all those still doing it. Hard to find volunteers these days.
@@RoadTrainAdventures on my phone the only thing I can find is buy a thanks but that’s not the join link and nothing next to the subscribe button on the phone. Sorry to be a pain just can’t find it using iPhone. Is it only able to be done on computer
Glad to see you got a new drone. I always enjoy the production. Awesome variety of camera shots. Loved the coastal shots with the drone. Don't expect you to reveal trade secrets, always impressed on how you take drone shots while driving 👌. Keep on sharing 👍. Nice mix of scenery with trucking Thanks
The pool in Blackall is glorious, artesian bore water so it is lovely and warm especially in the winter and the showers are good too. The day we were there we had it to ourselves. Thankyou for taking us with you to QLD. The bore water is soft as soft but it comes out of the ground nearly boiling so they have to cool it before you use it. Jeff
Just came across your channel. I live in South Africa now. One thing I miss… travelling through the Australian Bush! Now I get to reminisce watching your videos. Yes; Charleville is a great spot. Lots of goats through Cobar area. Was in Broken Hill last September visit. Hardly saw a roo anywhere. Thanks for the great videos on those great long roads through nowhere 😜 Hopefully I’ll be back in 2 years. God Bless
Thanks heaps. Yes there is nothing better than the outback. It's my favourite place to be. In regards to kangaroos, Broken Hill to Cobar is like kangaroo alley normally.
Love the video mate. I was just wondering, when passing through the country towns would you consider doing truck audio only? I love hearing the truck, especially as you go through the towns. Can't believe the bravery of those cows, it reminds me of when I was driving semis in Melbourne CBD and people would just walk out in front of me without looking 😅
Just like Ken's channel really enjoy the Australian countryside vistas you include. Despite turning 65 next month I still get homesick after being out of Australia for almost five years this time.
Hey Johnno. That drone was expensive, but it has added a LOT to your videos. The visuals are excellent here. That tracking shot at night time was spectacular, as well as the view over the cliffs. You might need to learn to use it to muster that cattle though :) Great work, and am happy to sign up for the secret squirrel club. Cheers, Steve.
Thanks Steve. I tried it with cattle. It works really well but I've been told that the cattle don't like it. I don't see why that would scare them where as a motorbike running around them doesn't. Awesome that you sign up. I'll certainly be trying to show you a lot of stuff I can't make public.
You know, Casey La Delle uses a 3m long stick with a 360 camera that he holds out of the truck's window. It looks like a drone that flies right beside his truck. Pretty impressive and cheap to do. Pretty sure it would make some awesome pictures in your case too.
Hey there! Greetings from Melbourne VIC. Love your videos, thank you for taking the time to make them. I don't know how you find the time to film and edit them, but well done. The drone shots are great. The grey nomad on the electric scooter in Cobar! crossing the road! LOL I've seen them going down the actual road in country VIC towns and even in Melbourne. Actually quiet frightening and a huge risk they take entering the road at an unexpected location. Much safer for them at an approved location (ped lights/ intersection). With your long bonnet and limited visibility of the immediate road you could easily steam roll them into the bitumen. Take care and safe trucking!
@@RoadTrainAdventures Watch out for Kangaroos, big ones up there as you would know. What are the advantages of a bonneted prime mover? I only see disadvantages, but I'm not a trucker! A cab over doesn't look very aerodynamic, but visibility would be great.
Hey Johnno! Yet another fantastic video of yours. Absolutely stunning views again, be it drone or onboard of the truck. I particularly like these special views along the truck while driving or from the driver's point of view, especially when the engine is blubbering so nicely. But also the scenery of Australia in general. Great work again. 👍🐺🙂
Goodday Johno, Great video as per usual, especially the new drone. Have you heard that a Safety Camera will be fitted up across the paddock to Perth to combat fatigue. Just a rumour ? Cheers Louis Kats 👍
@@RoadTrainAdventures Roger I was in Adelaide on the weekend at a car show in Virginia got talking to a couple of interstate drivers & they were adamant it was going to happen. Hope you are well Hope to see you sometime in Melbourne. Cheers Louis Kats 👍
Awesome new Drone , the cliff shots just awesome , Qld weather is why I live here . With work I been on your rout from SA up though to Bourk to Walgett to St George to Roma , built the Water Treatment Plant at Tara , but the place I like best is Blackall I bought my 39 Ford out near there . I must say I love your truck the best I had was a RoadBoss with a 892TTA that was a long time ago ( in the 80s ) , all the best
@@RoadTrainAdventures You mite say that , I all so worked at Clermont Emerald and so on ( coal Mines ) I was a Truck Driving Fitter and Turner , Spent almost 20 years in and out of trucks , love them
great video John thankyou just wet and cold everyday trucking over here in the uk could do with some of your empty roads and sunshine ! take care look forward to your next one 🙂
Absolutely stunning photography Jonno , so glad you got a new drone & this one seems better, you’re a man of many talents, I was a former road train driver that used to do Brisbane-North Queensland and MtIsa & the NT from Alice to Darwin
Great video mate i just did the trip from Banbury to Gladstone pulling a 22ft caravan I'm assuming you went through Horrocks pass through the Flinders Ranges and on to Broken Hill how did you go through the Pass? Stay safe mate.
Wow, just looking at the clarity of the fantastic Mavic 4 drone shot above the Emerald truck stop. Was it my imagination when you did the Eucla drone shot that it goes really fast ? or was it sped up video ? Regards, Greg.
Another great vid, Johnno. Loving the tunes. Tried to google the songs but Google is struggling. Any chance you could add the titles to the description. Stay safe out there. Cheers👍
You got a few ks to emerald i was up in cairns living before going back to port augusta how do you like the humidity in north queensland .i have been watching ken as well good bloke
No worries mate my name is Raymond but all my mates call me Mondo.I have had the Mondo nic name for 40 years it's a long story it was given to me by a lady lol.Make some miles and keep safe.
Jonno, I’m looking at buying a drone & a Go pro, I’ve been told as a beginner I should look into getting a 4-5 Hero 2nd hand coz you’ll probably get alot of accessories with it. As for drones I’m thinking about a DJI mavic 3 mini or pro
Depends how much you're going to use the GoPro. If you got the money you can buy the latest. The accessories are really cheap. 240 piece is less than $40 off ebay. As for the drone, that really depends on your budget and your usage. You can get the mini for less than $1000. That comes with the remote control with the built in screen.
Love that camera in the new drone , it’s the same model as the Jackson bros bought, a utuber on a large farm in nsw, so mavic must be the goods. I couldn’t find a memberships button in either spot below the video tho ?
Love the videos, both the engine sounds and music. Having recently hit a kangaroo on the Hay Plains in my car, I'd be interested to hear more about your animal encounters. I did see the horse video, but would like to know about damage sustained and what you might do to avoid hitting animals, particularly the unpredictable kangaroo.
I'm lucky as I rarely hit any animals. I nearly always drive in the middle of the road if no one is coming. That way I have the option of moving left out right on the road. Plus I drive on the smoothest part of the road.
The main thing to keep in mind when avoiding animals on the road is to keep going straight ahead while slowing down. Do not try to dodge the animal or lock up the brakes or you could easily roll the vehicle with a much worse result than a few bent panels. Get a good bull bar but do not regard it as a battering ram. Defensive driving is the way to go.
I like the drone shots, ? On the spot mirrors they seem to block the bottom of the regular mirror does that bother you, I like them below the regular mirror or above the regular mirror. Another ? How does a person send you a picture. Thx
None of my mirrors get blocked by any part of the other mirror. I really like these mirrors. You can send a photo via my Facebook page or by email. See the About section on my UA-cam channel.
It was around this time of the year when I was there in Queensland but in the Goldcoast. Hot 🔥 Hot 🔥 But I'd give anything to get back there. Love the country and the people. Just don't take up flying even if Quantas are looking for a few good men 😂 👍🇮🇪
Amazing video If I may say what is your thoughts on cattle moving freely close to main roads?? For my thoughts it’s dangerous I’m sure there is a safer way for there to be no danger to drivers and cattle.
True true I live in Perth and driving up north you hear it on the radio or if you’re lucky will see them but I have read how dangerous they are at night or even around corners and coming down hills. And I have heard if you do hit them and the owner finds out who hit them you pay the cost or something like that. Ps I enjoy watching your videos lots of knowledge
They always have drovers who put all the cattle in a paddock close by so the only cattle you might see out wound be those wild ones who don't belong to anyone or who escaped.
If they are in the long paddock there is always someone with them (a drover) and there are signs out but hard to get people to read signs. Some road is unfenced and you have to be careful, those places are sign posted too. Those cattle looked like they were with a drover in the long paddock, it is getting dry up there. Jeff
@@RoadTrainAdventures Emerald..I used to live opposite the Cotton Gin, both myself and neighbor ran road trains and we could also fit 6 or 8 units in our back yards.. Was handy during grain or cotton seasons or when we were all running freight.
Yes I got insurance on the new one. I'm usually pretty good at not crashing but I do love to push the limits of the drone so I think I'll definitely need it.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Johnno I wasn't probably clear in my question but when you are flying your drone how far can the drone fly away from you before it lose signal
Yes when it's at night and you have no idea there are views ahead. We talk over the radio. In this situation there are signs in the road warning everyone of what's ahead.
Thank you for the video! May I ask a question? What is the usual RPM that you use when you drive along (apart from uphill and downhill, of course, where you need some more juice)? Modern European trucks are down to like 1000 RPM to save fuel.
OK I'll try and make a video showing you the inside of my truck. It's getting very busy for us before Christmas. I can't pay the song Burn to be Wild due to copyright.
your 'over-the-shoulder' shots give a great perspective how the trailers track though corners and intersections in towns particularly
Thanks Marcus. That's why I like giving lots of different camera angles.
Amazing drone shots, good music choices and very enjoyable to watch. Watching this from far away Croatia! Just keep trucking!
Awesome. Thanks. It's great to have you along all the way from Croatia.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Can you tell me name of the songs you used between 0:26-2:00 and 11:38-13:07 Cheers, keep up the good work.
I'm driving at the moment so I only know the first song which is Goodbye Girl. The other song I don't know the name of.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Thanks m8 no worries stay safe and drive carefully!
👍
Love the new drone. Expensive little suckers. Another great vid 👍🇦🇺😎
Expensive but I got to give you guys the drone shots you like so much.
Johnno. Those tracking shots going over the new bridge at Port Augusta were sensational. By the way got an idea for an episode for you. Reckon a video on the story of Lumbars and how they operate would be really interesting. Keep up the great work.
Thanks heaps. I don't think I can do a story on Lumbar's. They prefer to keep out of the limelight.
Hallo Johnno! Thank you for the great views of the fantastic video. That´s a great drone you have.
Awesome. Thanks Stefan
Loving the new drone footage; very clear images. Great to see
Awesome. Thanks Tim
Another awesome video Johnno. Great country between Cobar and Charleville. Know those roads well. Love the new drone shots too mate. Safe travels. Hot time of the year.
Thanks Darren. Yes it's hot at times. Just bad timing this time.
I was in that heat in Qld. Just had a short break in the heat. Now building back up again. And only October. Lovely footage. New drone superb. For that sort of money it should be. Keep dodging the fires. Plenty around my area. Retired from rural fire brigade these days. Getting too old to drag hoses up hills in the heat. Shout out to all those still doing it. Hard to find volunteers these days.

Great footage, loved the coastline shots. What’s the range from the base Johnny?
If you're asking how far this drone can fly from me, they say it can go up to 15km away.
do you prefer the icepack (diesel engined) bunk cooler or the modern electric systems koolkat/piccolo etc..
I fit and repair these.
Oh cool. Where are your in case I need service? The electric is great but only at night or under 38 during the day.

For my thoughts it’s dangerous I’m sure there is a safer way for there to be no danger to drivers and cattle.
I don't know exactly why they do it but I think it's just mow down the grass on ther edges of the road.
True true

Did u get insurance for the new drone johno love them queensland shots looks they could do with a bit of rain up in that blackhall vicinity
They can always use rain, the state is on fire right now and summer just started.
@@johngreydanus2033 hate to say it think we're in for a long hot summer
I had insurance but then I let it lapse so when this happened I didn't. I had to pay with my money. I've got it now though.
I think the wet season starts soon. It is that just in WA?
Maybe
Johnno have you got A/C in the bunk in the truck for sleeping during the hot days ?
For sure. I definitely need that for summer.
Hey me ole home town.. Never had any truck stops back then, but there was enough room for 3 road trains at that intersection.
Which one is your old home town? I showed a number of places.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Emerald..I used to live opposite the Cotton Gin, both myself and neighbor ran road trains and we could also fit 6 or 8 units in our back yards.. Was handy during grain or cotton seasons or when we were all running freight.
Oh I see. I had more drone footage of Emerald but I didn't show it. Seems like a nice place.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Good pubs, good atmosphere, was a great place to live.
For sure
Thanks
Awesome. Thanks for your kind donation. That will go to paying for the new drone.
I'm guessing u got insurance on the new one , ps ,more great footage 🙏👍
Yes I got insurance on the new one. I'm usually pretty good at not crashing but I do love to push the limits of the drone so I think I'll definitely need it.
Oh yeah
John I entered that comment when u just got ure new drown 👍
👍
Thanks for the video Johnno. How far can the new drone fly from the controller?
I don't understand your question
@@RoadTrainAdventures Johnno I wasn't probably clear in my question but when you are flying your drone how far can the drone fly away from you before it lose signal
Oh sorry. I need glasses. This new one can get up to 15km away from the controller.
Thanks for stopping and showing us the scene and parts of the last drone, Johnno.
This drone footage is exhilarating.
Awesome. I'm glad you like it.
Do you warn eachother when thear are cows on the road? Greatings from Holland.
Yes when it's at night and you have no idea there are views ahead. We talk over the radio. In this situation there are signs in the road warning everyone of what's ahead.
Thank you for the video! May I ask a question? What is the usual RPM that you use when you drive along (apart from uphill and downhill, of course, where you need some more juice)? Modern European trucks are down to like 1000 RPM to save fuel.
I'm usually doing 100km/h such is 1650rpm
@@RoadTrainAdventures Thank you, sir! Is 1650 RPM when the engine has the highest torque?
No. It's just the rpm at 100km/h such is the max speed we're allowed to do in a truck.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Thank you again, sir! I understand
👍
Beautiful views 👍👍
Thanks Eric
How much does the video recording impede on your driving time?
It doesn't because I can name up any time I use by driving later that evening.

Can you translate into English?
I have a translation thing but it auto types the new language but doesn't auto translate text on the screen. What do you use that does this?
No I don't see that. Maybe you can tell me more so I can get this.
No good. If I could select the text and copy it then I can translate it but I can't even do that here. On other apps like Facebook I can.
👍
I wanna drive a road train. I'm from the US
Well come on over. We need more good operators.
Where do you get the songs you play with the video clips that you show on here.
I've tried a few music subscription services. Artlist, Audiio and a few others
How do you operated the drone while driving .🤔
I use a function called Active Track where the drone will follow me.
For sure
How many Km do you usually do in a year.
I did 233,000km last year

Was that bundles of raw wool?
No that's cotton

Oh awesome. Welcome to the family. Are you using iPhone because it's right there on Samsung.
How do you drive a truck and fly a drone at the same time lol😅
I use a function called Active Track which does the drone automatically.
@RoadTrainAdventures that's awesome mate love your work save travels mate
Thanks again. Time for bed now
U never show us your sleeping accommodation in truck also play Born to be Wild tks
OK I'll try and make a video showing you the inside of my truck. It's getting very busy for us before Christmas.
I can't pay the song Burn to be Wild due to copyright.
I was going to do a story if I get pulled in one day. I never get pulled in. I'm very lucky every time. I'm using electronic work diary now.
No I like this one better. We can still dodgy up the figures.
