00:00If they don't want to move, he's going to run straight into the tide of killing.
00:06Not much for the roadies coming in and out of these places.
00:10This is where Beneath is going to go wrong, and we'll go wrong.
00:15Whoa!
00:17Burley went by this.
00:18They're really, really dangerous.
00:30Hey, Dale, you've just got to come back over here and just pallet, mate.
00:34Yeah.
00:36The load I'm doing today is fuel and general freight.
00:41Most of the people I deliver to run cattle stations and sheep stations.
00:48Robbie Adams is loading up for a critical journey,
00:52getting vital supplies to livestock farmers
00:54in the parched outback north of Broken Hill.
00:57They were waiting urgently for fuel to run their pumps.
01:01Everyone's running short on water.
01:03I'll end up with seven drops all up, which will roughly take three days.
01:09From his base in Broken Hill,
01:12Robbie will follow the highway for just 56 kilometres
01:15and then go bush on rough dirt tracks,
01:18dropping supplies at several remote stations
01:21before looping around to the small township of Whiteclips
01:25and heading back home three days later.
01:27The biggest concern I've got,
01:29we put a new hub on this trailer,
01:32and this is its first trip.
01:34So we've just got to check that,
01:36make sure it doesn't run hot.
01:38This over here is a result of that same problem.
01:42Wrecked a tyre, which is near new.
01:45That last trip that trailer done,
01:46we've virtually done it for nothing.
01:48That's what you're up against.
01:50If you don't like that,
01:51well, you just don't be out here doing it.
01:53About ready?
01:55Just about ready to go, babe.
01:57There you go.
01:57You've got morning tea, afternoon tea.
02:00I've got the lot, eh?
02:01Tea, tea.
02:02Enough for three days.
02:04Shouldn't you every night?
02:05Yeah.
02:05Okay.
02:06Okay?
02:07Bye.
02:08There's a lot of distance between where one station and another station.
02:12Anything could happen out there,
02:14I can tell you that.
02:16The roads are crap.
02:17I've been doing this since I was 18 and I'm 63 now.
02:26I've been brought and read into it.
02:28My grandfather started while I was only a little boy.
02:32I used to come out here with him.
02:36I suppose it's been in the family for near 100 years.
02:41Being an owner-operator, it's very, very costly.
02:45When something goes wrong, it's not hundreds of dollars.
02:50It's in the thousands.
02:52The hub we just done, that was around $5,000.
02:57I've blown a gearbox.
02:59That's $18,000.
03:01We've rebuilt the motor, which is $90,000.
03:05And it just goes on and on.
03:08Good way to put it.
03:09You always know when you're going to break down,
03:11you've got some money in the bank.
03:12You're only going to stay there.
03:15From here on, you've got to really watch the wildlife.
03:20You've got emus that come straight at you.
03:24You've got goats.
03:26Kangaroos are shocking.
03:27They'll take airlines.
03:29They'll take hubcaps off.
03:31They do some damage.
03:32That was close, that one.
03:44He's very lucky.
03:45It's quite an easy day.
03:48Demis, they're queer.
03:50They run across the road.
03:53You think they're gone,
03:54and then all of a sudden,
03:55they'll come straight back at you again.
03:57I love animals.
03:59I don't like her.
04:04I just love driving trucks.
04:07Out there open, you're doing your own thing.
04:10Oh, every day is different, put it that way.
04:12You never know what you're going to see.
04:15Shit.
04:16Just notice the strat dragging.
04:18You can go under the wheel
04:21and take some of your load out.
04:30They're taking the light off this side
04:32and take two outriggers off this side.
04:35Otherwise, we're over 5.5.
04:37We're moving a cabin
04:39that's 5.5 metres wide.
04:42It'll sit about 4.8 metres high on the truck.
04:46Weighs around 13, 14 tonnes.
04:48Oversized specialist Robbie Bush
04:52is responsible for hauling
04:54$200,000 worth of luxury cabin
04:57across Victoria.
05:00There's a lot of costs if we damage them.
05:02Trees, power lines, parked cars, signs.
05:07Customers don't like paying for scratch hours.
05:09No damage.
05:10Better no damage policy, haven't we, Dave?
05:12That's right.
05:13You never relax.
05:15The minute you relax, something goes wrong.
05:16We're going to leave here
05:18and we're going to weave our way through Melbourne
05:21and hopefully end up in Portland.
05:24From Somerville,
05:26Robbie will tow the building west
05:28straight into the hectic city of Melbourne,
05:31population 5.3 million,
05:33before crossing into West Victoria's farmlands
05:36to reach the scenic coastal town of Portland.
05:40And he has only seven hours to do it.
05:42The biggest problem we're going during the day
05:44is on certain roads has got a curfew.
05:47We're not allowed on there before 9am.
05:48We've got to be off by 4pm.
05:50I'm just extending the trailer.
05:52We'll be around 22 or 3 metres long today.
05:56The truck's a 2007 model
05:58and it's done 2.9 million kilometres.
06:02To pull his $250,000 trailer,
06:05Robbie is relying on his old faithful,
06:08a Kenworth K104B cab-over engine model
06:11with an 18-speed manual gearbox.
06:15The cab-over Kenworth is great getting into tight spots.
06:18The places we put these cabins,
06:20if you've got a truck with a bonnet,
06:21it makes it very difficult.
06:25I mean, everyone likes to drive a truck with a bonnet,
06:27but, I mean,
06:29you've got to sort of lose some length somewhere,
06:31so, unfortunately,
06:33we push the engine underneath.
06:36About a 400 mil.
06:39Have you left?
06:40Yep.
06:40We're going to just chain it down now
06:42and off we go.
06:43Some people smoke when they're stressed.
06:49I'll eat chopper chops.
06:51That's what I do.
06:53All right.
06:54I'm ready to go now.
06:58Yeah, pull it out, mate.
07:01I've got two pilots.
07:02Rowan will be my front pilot.
07:05Dave is my rear pilot.
07:07He'll be my eyes and ears at the back.
07:10Bit of a milestone for these guys.
07:13This isn't an adventure cabin.
07:14It's the 50th cabin.
07:15It's the civilian business.
07:19I want to scratch number 50.
07:22Mate, you go, mate.
07:23Keep going as you are.
07:24Make you clear of the fence on the back, mate.
07:26You're all good.
07:31When you're on a single lane,
07:33I'm only about a foot off the fog line.
07:35I'm hanging over both sides, nearly.
07:39Five and a half metres coming at you, mate.
07:41Come on, mate.
07:42Get over.
07:43Five and a half metres, mate.
07:44You can move right over.
07:49I just have to high beam that, Blake.
07:52If I see an oversized load or something coming at me with flashing lights,
07:55get out of the way.
07:56A lot of them go, oh, what's that?
07:59Flashing lights, and they just drive straight at you.
08:02We can have all the lights on in the world, mate, and they still ignore us.
08:04I basically grew up around trucks.
08:09My dad was driving fuel tankers.
08:11I got my truck licence when I turned 19, so I've been at it for quite a while.
08:17I had a seven-year break.
08:18I had a seven-year break.
08:20I had an accident back in 2010.
08:24I walked behind a truck with loading ramps on it, and the loading ramps fell, hit me on the
08:32back of the head, end up in the Alfred Hospital.
08:35I signed seven consent forms to have my right leg amputated out of 26 surgeries.
08:42The surgeon said you'll probably never drive again.
08:45I had a three-week-old baby home, and I got home 14 months later.
08:48I used to sit out in front of the hospital and watch all the trucks going past, and it was
08:55probably the one thing that kept me going, because I thought, I'm going to get back to
08:59that.
09:05We're riding the city now.
09:07This is probably the old area of St Kilda.
09:11Just trying to predict what everyone's going to do.
09:14Got to have keen sets of eyes.
09:18I'm looking for the trees, watching every car.
09:22For this idiot.
09:24Where are you going, mate?
09:26They don't want to move.
09:28He's going to run straight into the toilet building.
09:36I'm checking for my toe pressure.
09:39Checking if everything is on point.
09:42Cheers.
09:42Good luck, Pablo.
09:49Your first big interstate trip.
09:51Can't wait.
09:52You look after the gear.
09:53Got a bit of equipment there, worth a fair bit of money.
09:56Just remember, you've got to be there 10 o'clock on Monday morning to meet the cranes.
10:00Done load.
10:01Cheers.
10:01Good luck.
10:02All the best.
10:03Catch you later.
10:03All right.
10:04Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
10:12Now starting the journey.
10:14Rookie outback trucker, Pablo Guadu, is taking on his biggest challenge since arriving in Australia
10:21less than a year ago.
10:23I'm from Zimbabwe, but I've been working as a truck driver in South Africa.
10:29I'm passing Larry the lobster.
10:33What a big lobster.
10:35We've been looking for workers because there's a shortage of drivers in Australia, and Pablo
10:41applied.
10:42This is Pablo's biggest trip that he's had while he's worked for us.
10:46I have to go through the outback.
10:50That's the right of passage of being in Australia.
10:54So hopefully by the time that I pass the outback, I'll be truly and truly in Australia.
11:02It's going to be a 3,600-kilometer journey, like from Cape Town to the equator.
11:08Pablo's journey starts in the far south of mainland Australia at Warrnambool.
11:14He'll then cross the entire length of the continent, pushing through the harsh, arid red centre
11:20and into the tropics to his delivery destination in the northernmost capital city, Darwin.
11:27I have to be there Monday morning.
11:31There's a crane that is booked for 10 a.m.
11:34If I get there late, the company will have to pay more.
11:37The pressure's on.
11:38It's got a metal folding machine on.
11:40It's precise equipment.
11:42It's worth a fair bit of money, so it's got to be well looked after.
11:47Noel has shown trust in me ever since I started my process.
11:51I cannot afford to let him down.
11:52For me to let him down, that is unthinkable.
11:56I cannot afford to do that.
12:00In Africa, it's a bit different.
12:03The laws that we ferry, they're not as big as the ones here.
12:07So I just said to myself, you know what, that's a challenge.
12:11I think I need to go to Australia.
12:13And ta-da, here I am.
12:15Back in the day when I was still in school, primary, we used to watch Skippy, the bush kangaroo.
12:25That was one of my favorite shows.
12:27And there was Blinky Bill.
12:29Blinky Bill was my favorite.
12:30So I used to watch most of the Australian shows.
12:34When I first started watching Albert Truckers, I think the very first episode that I saw was Steve when he got bored for two weeks in Kalamburu.
12:46The resilience that he showed after being bored for two weeks and he went and delivered that load, it just motivated me, inspired me to want to come and experience how it is tracking in Australia.
13:15It's a hot day today.
13:23Temperature outside is 40 degrees.
13:27What's up with the coolant?
13:32Coolant is high.
13:34I don't know what's happening.
13:35I need to pull out.
13:42Let me see if there's anything rolled down.
13:45Yeah, it's at this point.
13:49This is flicking.
13:53I do not need this.
13:58Shit.
13:59Just noticed the scratch for Aggie.
14:01Righto.
14:02It's only come undone.
14:13Could go under the wheel and take some of your load out.
14:16Yeah, they're very hard to keep.
14:18Keep in order.
14:20Right, good to go again.
14:21Third generation trucker Robbie Adams has vital supplies to deliver to livestock stations in the desert outside Broken Hill.
14:32It's a tough job with no margin for error.
14:36As an owner operator, the costs are just ongoing.
14:40They never stop.
14:41You're virtually living from month to month.
14:43It's a tough job.
14:44It's a tough job.
14:45It's a tough job.
14:46It's a tough job.
14:47It's a tough job.
14:48We're on the dirt now.
14:49This is where it ain't gonna go wrong.
14:51It will go wrong.
14:52It's hard to get more rugged as we get going.
14:56The driving style K is dramatically both hands on the wheel.
15:06You're not going to let it go.
15:08You just tend to stall the time.
15:11We're just about ready to do our first drop.
15:16I'll be very relieved.
15:18They've been waiting for fuel for quite a while now.
15:20We're just sheep.
15:26We've got Hereford cattle, 125,000 acres.
15:31Spanning more than 500 square kilometres, the property Luke Mashford runs with his family requires more than your standard farm ute.
15:41We get premium unleaded for the plane, for the aerial spotting.
15:46Guys like Robbie, they're a dying breed.
15:50We've got to look after these old fellas and keep them going as much as we can.
15:54This will take the buck out of him.
15:56Thank you, Robert.
15:58Yeah.
15:59Cost you money every time I come here.
16:01At least you can keep working there.
16:03Thank you very much, Robert.
16:04No worries.
16:05No worries.
16:06It's good, mate.
16:07I'll see you in another four weeks.
16:08No worries.
16:09Safe travel, of course.
16:10All in all, it's been a good day.
16:15It's taken Robbie over eight hours to complete his first delivery.
16:20And his next stop is still more than an hour away, with daylight rapidly fading.
16:26Let's pull up here.
16:27Stop.
16:28It's overnight.
16:29It's starting to be a new day.
16:34Not much of a road is coming in and out of these places.
16:38There are not many trucks coming in and out the way I go.
16:49We're actually travelling.
16:50It's a bit of a short-cut road.
16:52Cuts off probably 20 kilometres.
16:55It's not a very well-used road.
16:57We've just got to, we've got to make our own sort of thing.
17:02So, it's a bit difficult at times, picking the line if it hasn't been used for a long time.
17:13Most of the property down here are sheep and cattle.
17:18There's plenty of gates.
17:20Sometimes out of ten they're shut.
17:29Here we go, we've got our first gate.
17:31We've got a problem.
17:43The gate won't unlock.
17:49They don't want to move.
17:51They move till the last second.
17:54Look at this idiot.
17:55There you go, mate.
17:58He's gonna run straight into the throttle building.
18:00What a peanut.
18:08Luxury cabin courier, Robbie Bush, is under the pump.
18:12His $200,000 load needs to be threaded through the frenetic city of Melbourne, without a scratch.
18:20When we get on the charter road, Rowan will drop back behind.
18:23Then I can just use the whole road.
18:25Yeah, Kelby.
18:26You can come to your left, Rob.
18:29You can come to your left a bit more if you want.
18:31Keep coming, keep coming, keep coming.
18:34Oh, shit.
18:35What do you mean, old shit?
18:37It's ran over a cone.
18:39I'm too busy watching the back of your truck.
18:43Hey, that's a pilot.
18:44It's committed.
18:45There's a roadway line down the end of the road here.
18:50It's in the permanent states.
18:52I have to call seven days prior to crossing that roadway line.
18:55I'm allowed to cross between 10 and 12 today.
18:58If we get delayed, that can stop the whole show.
19:02Lights are going amber now, mate.
19:05We're coming.
19:06I can't stop here.
19:08I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming.
19:10Watch the traffic on the right, mate.
19:11They're going to float.
19:12Nah, you're right.
19:13I'll be here.
19:14Keep going, mate.
19:15I'm just watching this bicycle.
19:16It's coming up your left.
19:17Not far from Melbourne now.
19:18The buildings that are there.
19:19You go right, Robby.
19:20We're right in the city now.
19:21Can you just sit on the left, mate?
19:22Just shut the back door.
19:23They come up your left here.
19:24Shutting the back door means he'll keep that lane shut so nothing can come past.
19:40Yeah, mate.
19:41Coming through with you.
19:42Copy that.
19:43Alright, onto the freeway now.
19:47About 4.30, 4.40.
20:05We're just coming through Warrnambool now.
20:08About an hour and ten minutes from Portland.
20:11We have to be off the road before sunset.
20:15Oh, I'm just ahead of you somewhere.
20:17There's road work.
20:18Oh, God.
20:20So hopefully it won't be here too long.
20:25We've got a green light at the moment.
20:28Just going to start tapping some of the bollards on your right hand side.
20:33Sorry, Dave.
20:35I think I'm knocking them over, mate.
20:37Nah.
20:38Nah, you're actually not doing too bad, mate.
20:40There's a couple knocking down, but most of them are bouncing back up.
20:42You were nearly at the other end of it now.
20:44Stop, stop.
20:45You've got one caught up underneath the truck.
20:47If we start like this before we get to the outback, what about if we get to the outback?
21:02Zimbabwean driver Pablo has just five days to get his load more than 3,600 kilometres to Darwin and succeed in his dream to become an Aussie outback trucker.
21:15Nola, I've got a bit of a problem.
21:18One of the pipe from the radiator is filling out the coolant.
21:22The bridge that is just before the parking barrier.
21:23Oh, nice.
21:24Thank you, mate.
21:25I think he's going to send someone.
21:26Nah, it's going to delay me because I don't know how long these guys will take to get here.
21:40I don't want to let them all down, let the customer down because they're counting on me.
21:47And here comes the mechanic now.
21:53Looks like just the coolant lines has come off.
22:02These things take about quality liters or so.
22:08I think it's all fixed now.
22:10Thanks, mate.
22:11Cheers.
22:12Saved me a lot yesterday.
22:15All right.
22:17We've lost quite a bit of time, so we need to catch up.
22:20So, here we go now.
22:28We can't afford to be late.
22:29We have to make sure that Monday at 10 o'clock we're there.
22:34I want to be there by 9 o'clock latest.
22:38Once we leave Port Augusta, we'll be officially in the Outbreak.
22:53Yeah, Outbreak.
22:55Now we are in the Outbreak.
22:57Out.
23:05Now we're pulling into Glen Tambo.
23:07Pulling out for the 9.
23:09This is the Outbreak.
23:10What I've been praying for, now I'm here.
23:19The dream come true.
23:20Hopefully tomorrow no breakdowns.
23:21The gods of the place will smile on me.
23:25I can feel the aura of wind that I'm back.
23:26We've got a problem.
23:27The gate won't unlock.
23:28It won't come around.
23:30It won't come around far enough.
23:31It hasn't been used for that long.
23:32The gate won't unlock.
23:33It won't come around far enough.
23:34It hasn't been used for that long.
23:35I'll undo it here.
23:36Well, that's got that.
23:37The gate won't do it here.
23:38Well, that's got that.
23:39The gate won't come around far enough.
23:40It hasn't been used for that long.
23:42I'll undo it here.
23:44Well, that's got that.
24:05big importance to keep the gates if you find them close close them if you find them open
24:22leave them open it's a funny thing i have a medical every year doctor says i gotta do
24:29i should exercise well i would have thought this was enough exercise uh i've been shutting gates all
24:37day the big risk today is dry vault the road to that power it up that doesn't rain much out here

31:29it was a big contract for the company nowhere but i know the bus size load and we can't overtake

31:50like let's see
32:00now i won't feed
32:03now i won't feed i won't feed my truck is too big i won't feed
32:20the next challenge is reversing it up that road there roughly 200 meters and i'm going back blind

33:12we're starting to sink in here the outrigger on the crane is now sinking into the garden bed
33:30he won't risk it he'll tip the crane over so we're not really sure what he's going to do he's either
33:35going to bring the steel pads in which means we've got to move the cabin back out or put more timbers under it
33:45we should be right now so we'll um set back up get the wheels back up and we'll see if we can have a lift
33:50can we get someone on that other corner yeah mate keep on going okay mate i think we're right to go

35:06it's a big weight lifted off your shoulders plans at the moment just keep chipping away and
35:12move as many of these cabins before i get too old see how much bigger the cabins can get and
