The white dogs are Maremmas, an Italian breed. They are bonded to a herd and then live and guard that herd. They are used mostly for sheep and goats but sometimes used for other livestock. Cheers Shirl n Rob

“That’s not a goat” lol

Megan & Jack thank you for another good video. Enjoy planning your next road trip route.

The dog is for protection against foxes 🦊 through lambing or kidding and they are raised with the flock to maintain a bond and kept with them

The white dog is a great pyrenees which is probably the most common life stock protection dog all over the world. Typically they don't live like a pet, they eat, sleep and live completely outside with the livestock. Don't need much training except to know that you're safe and they just instinctively do the rest.

Thanks guy's top vid,looking forward to the extra vlog's.Thanks.👍🏾👴🏾

The dogs are there to guard their herd. They are very cool and clever animals.

You are correct..they are Maremas and that is there job to protect...check out the movie oddball....and Turkish delight is my favourite...my hubby gets it for me when we stop at servos ...loving the videos..take care 😀

nice one guys, that bull reminded me of Blazing Saddles where Mogo rides into town - hahahhh so funny, maybe you could head west to Longreach and go to the QANTAS museum and Outback Hall of Fame, you might even see a pic of you guys and the troopy 🤪😂👍😎then it's head south and onto Lightning Ridge to find some Opal.

Hit Yeppoon for a beach swim, then head inland to blackdown tablelands, Emerald (go to the Dam), Gemfields then out west to do the dinosaurs before it gets too hot? That's what'd I'd do if my Nissan had all it's wheels on...

Coffee, love it and trying to work out how to simulate the espresso machine experience I have at home in my 4x4. Without actually fitting it in! What about travelling to Tibooburra then to Cameron’s corner where all 3 states meet then drive west to the red centre? Would be an awesome trip
