I have much respect for the Australian Army. Out of all the coalition forces I worked with in Somalia (1993) they were my favorite. I even talked one of them into trading for an Australian Army boonie hat. It's one of my prize possessions. He traded for my Leatherman knife/tool. He said they were hard to find back then.
If I had to pick one country in the world to visit it would be Australia. I want to drive a Road Train!
All the best with your dream to drive a road train Bobby. After meeting them head on and watching the trailers dance from behind................... I recon I would have to swallow a bucket or two of Vallium before I was forced (at gunpoint) behind the wheel of one.
More power to you Bobby

Bloody road trains??
Was in the Army with a bloke that used to drive em
Was behind one once when the train hit a pig and it came flying out the back
Seen another one out West with 5 Petrol tankers in tow in 40 Celsius ripping up the melting bitumen trying to get going????
And mate in the Northern Territory out on the road theirs no speed limit on the Stuart Highway
Mate worked with (Help train) a heap of yanks when I was at JTC (Jungle training Center Canungra) Battle Wing.Originally Posted by bobbyf6b
