Check out the receding cloud of dust as the truck and its three trailers speed off into the distance on I just managed pull over and get my IPhone out in time to get this hurried shot. You gotta love the man made dust storm. All part of a day's work in the Centre. The truck belongs to MacDonald Downs Station near to Alice Springs -- 250 kms to the North East. It's a Western Star. They are built in Portland, Oregon. Trucking 'Down Under' is tough on men and machines. There've been quite a few cattle trucks lose it and flip over over the years. The dirt roads are rough (but they're called highways... and the reason for that is a great story in itself) and the bill for repairs must be huge. Even the bodies of a top line Toyota Landcruiser start getting nasty cracks after just a few years. Australian road trains must be the biggest trucks in the world to regularly travel on public roads. Anyway, it makes a great video. Wild country. Great for tourism -- a holiday dream! Check it out for yourself.
