Hi just want to say that the little town you're trying to think of between Narrabri and Moree is called Bellata, had to stop at the BP the last time I was up that way in the car for fuel, very friendly people who run it.

Love the newell highway. Brisbane to melbourne is one of my favourite runs. Stuck doing qld work at the moment until the children get bigger.

Great footage as always sir, I felt like I made the trip with you. I have say, when watching you hit those boarder crossings, is it true you cant be coming home to QLD, maybe it's just me? it looks like it. Keep posting, you page is growing. Stay safe on the road. One other thing, please stop smoking, you have a loving growing family to care for. Both my parents were smokers and died from emphysema very painful for them in the end.

I just watched a short vid on your employer DW. The owners seem decent and good people to work for and that is cool and rare that they let you have a passenger... almost 30 years of doing this and only the first company I worked for back in the 90's allowed that and only because that rule was still spreading. Most companies aren't prepared to accept the risk since their insurance won't cover it.
