    G'day from down under, Rob here, I live in a small village in the confines of Hervey Bay Queensland Australia. Great place to live, even the Humpback Whales drop in to say G'day. I've been a "truckie" for 35 odd years, travelled most of the eastern side of OZ, and up through the centre, you know we've got the biggest rock in the world there. I'm married, second time around, divorce rate is pretty high amongst drivers. I have been driving "B" doubles (see photo) very common here in OZ. I find that drivers everywhere face the same problems, have similar lifestyles, and put up with the idiotic behavior of other road users.Catch up soon, Rob.

    Welcome to the forum Rob! Your mention of the big rock stirred my curiosity. Thanks! You've already taught me something...and not about trucking. Mt Augustus, eh? Beautiful!!
