Road Train life not for everyone
It takes a special kind of man, or woman, to drive in Australia's harsh outback where there are no towns and no backup when the chips are down.
Watch the video, listen to the Outback drawl and see if it's a job you could do. Australia needs experienced drivers, like the one in the video.
The advice about avoiding kangaroos is sound. I know from personal experience.

It requires a unique type of man, or lady, to generate in Australia's severe outback where there are no areas and no back-up when the snacks are down.
