ROADTRAIN!

Dear Viewer
This is a version of the first Road Train video I produced in 1993. It was mostly shot in 1992. With VHS video tape distribution through the 90s in Europe and Australia, it has had more than a million views so you may have seen these stories before. If so, apologies. The program was then re-published in 2011 in my years at Truckin' Life magazine. It is now something of an historic documentation of the times. Index of stories and timecode:
2:20 The Gulf Run - a Mercedes Benz pulls freight to the Territory's cattle stations and road houses.
10:08 The Old Days - an overview of road train development.
13:52 Bulldogs and Bullocks - a Road Trains of Australia loads cattle at Scott Creek Station in the Katherine region of the NT.
17:24 Boss Drover - a Western Star hauls sheep in Western Queensland.
24:27 Up the Track - The late Dean McBride's operation using Ford LTLs to haul triples of freight from the railhead at Alice Springs to Darwin (the rail ran only Adelaide to Alice Springs at the time)
32:38 Road Train Express - UTO Freightliners running express freight from Townsville to the mining centre of Mt Isa.
The Biggest Road Trains: Gulf Transport's 'body-plus-four' road trains load a ship in the Kimberley.
Enjoy, all the best, Bruce (Honeywill)
