In Part-4 of the Worlds Longest Roadtrain we see Dougs crew from the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie Western Australia hooking up the trailer combinations into groups of ten. In the meantime they ve sent out a call to all their mates, throughout the Pilbara, Kimberleys and as far south as Esperance to bring as many trailers and dollies as they can spare. They turned up from far and wide in their Macks, Scanias, Volvos, Internationals, Freightliners, Mercedes and Western Stars to lend a hand and all the dump truck drivers and loader operators all pitched in as well hooking up hoses.

WESTERN STAR'S HIGHWAY HEROES VOL-2

The plan was to drive up during the night and camp near the cattle yards where we’d be loading cattle at daylight the next morning. This and other exciting stories are all on the new Western Star Highway Heroes Volume-2 DVD. Coming soon.

This is the first part of the worlds longest roadtrain record set by Doug Gould in Kalgoolie Western Australia a few years ago 

To borrow a phrase from that true Australian Outback Legend Russell Coight, "lets get cracking on another Aussie adventure” with Scott Hintz and his 6900 Western Star on a big cattle muster in north west Queensland. The roads might be among the toughest in the world, they're damn rough. The river crossings are deep, some with dangerous crocodiles lurking near the banks but Scott and his Western Star prove they're more than up to the challenge.

In this short video clip we made for our nephews, we take Mater to meet Big Ken the Kenworth truck that hauls a triple roadtrain... albeit a toy one around the shed. We hope you enjoy this short toy story with Mater as he attempts to pull a roadtrain.

These hard working cattle roadtrains of Hampton Haulage are hauling six decks of cattle out of the top of Western Australia through rough bulldust tracks and deep river crossings. If you like seeing trucks working hard and going flat out then we hope you enjoy this clip.

A few years back Slingshot Haulage had the job of transporting rail line north of Alice Springs all the way up to Darwin. They gave Darwin based Tristar the job of building some unique trailers to do the job and ordered some purpose built Kenworth trucks to tow them. This is that story.

In this short video we made for our young nephews, Mater from Disney Pixar's cars movie continues his Australian Truck Tour in far north Queensland and finally gets to go for a ride in three-trailer Kenworth road train. Next week he is hoping to do some tractor tipping down in NSW.

North of the Dingo Fence

This video is from one of our earlier DVD's titled Year of the Outback Commemorative Edition. Its was filmed before widescreen and is in the older 4.3 format. We've just had it digitally remastered and its now available for sale at all Kenworth Dealers or through www.rallybadges.com. In this segment we travel north of the dingo fence with Porters transport, way out west of Charleville to get a load of cattle and in the process get bogged to the axles. We needed a four wheel drive to rescue us.

Our friends at Gone Touring – Motorcycle Adventures, filmed our heavy duty trucking reporter Shanskie the other day when he was unrolling his new swag and we thought you might like to check it out too.

The annual V8 Supercars transporters parade before the Townsville 400, included the new Kenworth K200, MAN Vodaphone, Toll's UD, the black Jack Daniels Mack, Lightening McQueen's "Mac" Superliner transporter from the Cars movie. We filmed the parade passing Brown & Hurley's Townsville dealership on Ingham Road.

The Roadtrain film crew had an "Access all Areas" pass and caught a lift in the new V8 Supercars Kenworth K200 for an overnight run from the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide to Melbourne the Grand Prix. Like the cars it carries the pace is fast.

The team at Roadtrains in Action headed to Queensland's Central Highlands to check out a unique cotton hauling operation that's making the most of Kenworth's latest T909 roadtrain prime mover.
