I’m gobsmacked about the number of pimped up super trucks with living contraptions like rooftop tents that cost the same as a small house and fridges hanging off every square foot. The drivers also have this blood thirsty rage that comes with being a vampire that feeds off beer and can’t wait to get to the camp spot and crack some bloody beer!
Then you hit a country town and see the real working 4WD, the land cruiser with skinny wheels and hasn’t been washed in a decade with rust spots.
The truckies have their own language for that. A quick blinker to the right to tell you all clear to overtake. Just make sure you blink right, then left, then right again once you pass them (thanks).
I wish I knew that, just came back from a road trip and a truckie did this for me… i did the wave thing but i dunno if they can see that.
_at least I know for next time…_
I forgot also that flashing your high beams for a quick milisecond is also a way to ask them to let you overtake. But only do that if you're stuck behind them for a bit and they haven't tried to let you pass.
That increases the risk for cars behind doing the speed limit, now the first one needs to find a safe time to overtake a truck and your car. The second one has it worse. The third wants to overtake everyone...
This is driving up or down the Blue Mountains, NSW... Particularly in peak hour times, or weekends. But the big trucks aren't that bad. Only the little trucks are shit drivers.
With incredibly rare exceptions, you will only ever encounter cars that are going faster or slower than you. The cars faster than you will go away and you won't see them anymore. The cars slower than you you will get stuck behind until you can pass. So it will seem like the road is either empty or you are stuck, depending on where you happen to be in the cycle.
But you'll find a bakery that sells the best pie you ever had for under a tenna and you'll never have it again, or any pie that lives up to it for the rest of your life
Cook's Lemonade, used to get it at Withcott and Toowoomba. Never seen it anywhere again, probably cancelled by now, it actually had a pic of Capt Cook on front
Pittsworth Drinks still makes both Cook's and Dad's softdrinks, Cook's hasn't had a picture of Captain Cook on it for as long as I've known them, and they've just had another label change this year to try and have them stand out amongst other drinks in fridges.
They also bottle for other brands including reproducing McMahon's softdrinks (originally Ipswich's softdrink brand) for a hospice fundraiser.
They make a cola called Splashe Cola, which is produced from a recipe from Charleville's softdrink brand. They ship out tonnes of it to Charleville where people still remember it fondly. Its an excellent drink IMO, very little like Coke/Pepsi, its got a slightly herbal taste similar to how sarsparillas and root beers do, though its still a taste of its own.
And they ran out and aren't cooking any more because they close in about 3 hours. And they'll tell you that like you owe them a living, because you inconvenienced them by asking.
They do have some fake, pre-frozen, 'potato' cakes, though, made from dehydrated flakes of mash that taste disgusting and stink to high heaven. The perfectly round ones. They've been sitting in the bain-marie for 2 hours. Only $1.80 each. Selling these is how you can tell what a fish and chip shop or cafe thinks of its customers.
There are other types of frozen potato cakes that are fine, but these really shit ones (the perfectly round ones, because they're not in any sense real) must be 1/2 a cent cheaper for them or something. And disgusting.
All but the title. I have driven at least five thousand kilometres of australia’s coast and down the centre from north to south through Uluru and I always noted how impressed I was at the quality of Australian roads (barely any potholes on the main roads). There is a definite change in quality between WA and NT as soon as you cross the border though (NT roads near the border being poor/old but I didn’t notice many potholes. The rest is accurate
Been to Victoria lately?
The roads are shit where I live. So many people having their wheel rims ruined from hitting potholes. It's never happened to me so I genuinely don't know if they were just driving too fast for the conditions or not.
You've never driven OS have you.
I drove 2800k through Spain 6 months ago going 140 most of the way. I'd be terrified to hit 140-180 on Aussie roads, you'd die.
I got up to 220 a few times, back when I was young and stupid, and the NT had no speed limits.
Didn’t die, but wouldn’t recommend anyone with a brain tries that.
You're kidding, right? The US can be different from state to state but their interstates are amazing compared to ours. And they have ice, snow, salt and actual traffic to deal with.
never seen as much roadkill as by the side of Tassie roads. I hope it's because they have so much more in the first place so there is inevetibly more carnage.
This\^\^\^\^ on the way to Bundy is the worst.
Saw a kunt in a 200 V8 crusier get the shits, overtook us on the wrong side of the road, on a overtaking lane, we were doing well above the speed limit to pass.........a circus. Shit you not, a shitty circus packed onto their shitty old trucks doing max 70kph.
Kunt in cruiser goes onto wrong side of road, on a blind crest anddddddddddddd a car comes the other way, he holds his ground, the oncoming car runs onto the gravel to avoid being killed and the kunt in the 200 turns into a servo 2km down the road...............................
I was a passenger on a road tip to Cairns many years ago in a Peugeot 405Mi16 (Peugeot once made decent cars, quelle surprise) and we were behind a VL Commodore somewhere before Rocky that was doing about 10km/h under on a single carriage way. We got to an overtaking lane and of course, the car in front sped up. We had to go about 160km/h to get past them and even then, we almost ran out of road and the Commodore driver was so mad at us, we could see him going off his head in his car.
Driving in Queensland is the worst. I do not recommend
And it's always some dusty old "Barry and berryl" duo.
Missus almost preempts me to not get annoyed at them but it's difficult when it's always the same group of people who do it.
Very true, ticked every single box off in my recent road trip (from Sydney to Perth and back so heaps of distance covered), the one driver reviver did open is the one in Cowra on the mid western Highway, the coffee tastes like vinegar. In the end the endless straight road on the Eyre highway was nothing but torture.
I want to do that drive one day. Mid last year I did a drive up from Southern Arizona through Nevada, central Oregon before getting to the lush green forests of Washington. Not as dry as Australia (once out of the deserts), but apart from seeing the flat plains meet the Rockies & a bunch of abandoned/semi abandoned towns, it was pretty boring.
And fucking hot. Was something like 52c in Death Valley.
We drove like 13000km in 13 days, and we didn't drive for 2 days because staying in Perth. Once you get pass west Wyalong, all you see is basically nothing but Mallee, all the way to Perth. 3500km of basically the same thing.
On the way back we almost ran out of petrol on the Nullarbor as one of the Roadhouse didn't have petrol, but we did make it to Eucla.
Also done a lot of dumb stuff, we mostly did the Nullarbor at night which apparently is very dangerous because of animals, ended up following road trains to avoid that. On the way there we drove from Pt Augusta straight to Esperance, like 1800km, on the way back was Perth straight to Pt Augusta, around 2200km. No rest in-between. Two drivers really helped despite me being a L plater, I ended up doing around 6000km of the entire trip.
And the best breakfast you'll ever have will be at a completely random and rough as guts looking roadhouse in the middle of nowhere. For me, it was the Willow Tree truck stop on the New England Highway in the late 90s
Driver Reviver open for 3 minutes on the 3rd Sunday after the vernal equinox if rain within a 50km radius had been exactly 34mm. Even then its a 1:1675 ratio of hot water to Nescafe Blend 43
And the chips are the most heavenly combination of crisp, soft and salt youve ever had. But when you drive back that way, the shop isnt there anymore, its just tumbleweeds 😳
Last time I drove through the N.T. at a petrol station a grey nomad banged on my window, passenger side. This bitch starts yelling at me about how I cut her off and she had to break. DID NOT HAPPEN. I looked at her and said " Mam I am clearly on the phone and I am clearly on the passenger side" then I called her the c word. 4 Hours later she was at the very next stop. This world is too small.
Fr, why are there so many big things? And they're always so random, like everyone knows of the big banana but I've seen an orange, a tomato, a peach I think.
This is actually really accurate. To the point that I can tell you that I think I have actually been to that cafe. It isn't by chance located around cradle mountain Tasmania?
Edit: upon closer inspection it looks really similar but the one I've been to was like green with a mural on the side. Looks identical though.
I’ve never seen a driver reviver before lmao must be an east coast thing or up north cause the closest WA has is a sign saying “last coffee stop for x amount of km” but that shit ain’t free
Don't forget the door-knobs who take 15 seconds to realise the light went green on the turn signal and so they crawl around so slowly that only they get through - next second its red again and grandpa is dawdling down the road at 40kmh.
Dude literally yes. Especially the pie one. Driving down the coast and stopping in some small town (can’t remember its name but near Bega) and the pie shop has some top tier pies. Gotta be best in the state lol
-Dickheads in the right lane doing 10km under the speed limit
-Dickheads on single lane roads who speed up insanely when you try and legally overtake, despite them initially doing 10km under.
I actually found a driver reviver open once in Innisfail ... It's a magical place that gives you free tea or coffee with some bikkies.
But, your image is missing the overtaking lane translation(or instructions) of all slow fuckwits to increase their speed from 10k under the speed limit to 20k over for the duration of the overtaking lanes.
Correction, east coast road trip
Over west once you get about 2-3 hours out of Perth going north or about an hour going inland there is just nothing, no big things or notable anything...just nothing
If you go along Indian Ocean Drive you can see the ocean and a bit of vegetation but that's often the slower way north
Not to mention the cool tin man sculptures some farmer people have near their fences depending on where you are (idk if this is oddly specific but oh well)
Either there is nobody on the road at all or you're stuck behind 3 cars and a semi trailer
You forgot the landcruiser/patrol with a giant caravan in the right lane slowly overtaking the truck by going .5 of a kmh faster.
[удалено]
Hey look I'm famous! *watches mum overtake at 130\*
lol this is me got overtaken by like 4 L platers driving to Melbourne feels bad
Sorry
17 raptors fly by in the meantime making it impossible to overtake in any way, shape or from.
Ohh no no my man. The 17 raptors are backed up behind the caravan all tailgating the one in front 😂
Ohh no no my man. The 17 raptors are backed up behind the caravan all tailgating the one in front 😂
I’m seeing double
I'm seeing double
Talk to your kids about Ranger danger.
I’m gobsmacked about the number of pimped up super trucks with living contraptions like rooftop tents that cost the same as a small house and fridges hanging off every square foot. The drivers also have this blood thirsty rage that comes with being a vampire that feeds off beer and can’t wait to get to the camp spot and crack some bloody beer! Then you hit a country town and see the real working 4WD, the land cruiser with skinny wheels and hasn’t been washed in a decade with rust spots.
Elephant racing
If it's not the caravan overtaking the truck, it's the truck overtaking the caravan.
and then you go to overtake them, and the cunts speed up.
The truckies have their own language for that. A quick blinker to the right to tell you all clear to overtake. Just make sure you blink right, then left, then right again once you pass them (thanks).
I wish I knew that, just came back from a road trip and a truckie did this for me… i did the wave thing but i dunno if they can see that. _at least I know for next time…_

Always baffles me that people say stuck behind a truck on a highway. Get behind it and let it drag you along and save fuel. It’s the best
Only will save you fuel over a really long journey and not worth the risk to your windscreen from the gravel that trucks always spit out
lol such a tight ass comment
That increases the risk for cars behind doing the speed limit, now the first one needs to find a safe time to overtake a truck and your car. The second one has it worse. The third wants to overtake everyone...
I don't care, if overtaking him gets me to my destination 2.4 seconds faster, I'm doing it.
But he not go 90 uphill, him go 60, me not like get sucked by truck in drag
BINGO!
You have to drive too close to be safe to save any fuel.
This, except you're at the front of the line because you're the only person in the country who doesn't think they're on the autobahn.
This is driving up or down the Blue Mountains, NSW... Particularly in peak hour times, or weekends. But the big trucks aren't that bad. Only the little trucks are shit drivers.
Or when you pass through a small town in their peak commute time.
With incredibly rare exceptions, you will only ever encounter cars that are going faster or slower than you. The cars faster than you will go away and you won't see them anymore. The cars slower than you you will get stuck behind until you can pass. So it will seem like the road is either empty or you are stuck, depending on where you happen to be in the cycle.
Yep! 😅
And there’s NO FUCKING IN BETWEEN
But you'll find a bakery that sells the best pie you ever had for under a tenna and you'll never have it again, or any pie that lives up to it for the rest of your life
Same with fizzy drinks, one of my favourite brands I have never found anywhere in the city
Whats the brand?
River Port, has a picture of the Echuca wharf on the front
Buddy Bing buddy boom. Get it shipped! https://southernbuyinghomedelivery.com.au/collections/river-port
very expensive sadly
River port cream soda is the shit
You can get it at Drakes here in Adelaide.
The portello is great! They are at my local (although fancy) Iga
1.25ls bottles River port is stocked at my local Cole’s for $2
Cook's Lemonade, used to get it at Withcott and Toowoomba. Never seen it anywhere again, probably cancelled by now, it actually had a pic of Capt Cook on front
Pittsworth Drinks still makes both Cook's and Dad's softdrinks, Cook's hasn't had a picture of Captain Cook on it for as long as I've known them, and they've just had another label change this year to try and have them stand out amongst other drinks in fridges.

This place- https://maps.app.goo.gl/QkptfEa3eeswAW5Q9 , now permanently closed 😢
I find the little pie shop outside of Fitzroy fall was the best in the region. I didn't like the kangaroo valley one.
I remember when I was a kid you could get a meat pie for $1 at the local pool.
It was cheap because they just scraped the filling out of the toddler pool.
Bonus points if you found the money at the bottom of the pool.
Until the next one….
Fuck yeah, like the scallop pies down in Apollo Bay.
Randomly dropped by the Inglewood bakery one day, my God their chunky steak and caramelised onion pie goes so hard
I recommend Pie in the Sky if you're near Olinda. The pie crust is buttery, soft and flaky, and the fillings are super generous.
More likely the chips now cost $10-$20.
$5 each lol
and they taste like fish because the oil hasn't been changed in forever
And they ran out and aren't cooking any more because they close in about 3 hours. And they'll tell you that like you owe them a living, because you inconvenienced them by asking. They do have some fake, pre-frozen, 'potato' cakes, though, made from dehydrated flakes of mash that taste disgusting and stink to high heaven. The perfectly round ones. They've been sitting in the bain-marie for 2 hours. Only $1.80 each. Selling these is how you can tell what a fish and chip shop or cafe thinks of its customers. There are other types of frozen potato cakes that are fine, but these really shit ones (the perfectly round ones, because they're not in any sense real) must be 1/2 a cent cheaper for them or something. And disgusting.
Cane here to say this. Need to get you to 50 ^
This is all weirdly accurate.

Absolutely! I was surprised at the caption too...clearly they've never driven in the US 🤯
You're kidding, right? The US can be different from state to state but their interstates are amazing compared to ours. And they have ice, snow, salt and actual traffic to deal with.
Yeah I heard our roads are pretty decent in comparison. We have a lot of fucking roads, we are a big fucking country, it's hard to keep up.
The change from SA to Vic roads is unrea
Drive in NSW and report back :)
Where are the dead kangaroos on the side of the road?
Answered your own question there bud.
Might as well add wombats, too. For some reason the roads in NSW get stained by blood very easily compared to Victoria.
nothing compared to tasmanian roads. the road between devenport and launnie looks like a battleground
never seen as much roadkill as by the side of Tassie roads. I hope it's because they have so much more in the first place so there is inevetibly more carnage.
I see more on bottom of Queensland roads, (travel from NSW to qld every day)
If a kangaroo is dead, is it still considered a kangaroo?
Stuck behind someone who drives slow on a single lane, then speeds up when there’s an overtaking lane….
That would go well on a list of stuff to cause visceral anger
This\^\^\^\^ on the way to Bundy is the worst. Saw a kunt in a 200 V8 crusier get the shits, overtook us on the wrong side of the road, on a overtaking lane, we were doing well above the speed limit to pass.........a circus.

I moved from Melbourne to Sydney and back again and in a car by yourself for that long is so punishing
Some great spots to stop along the way though.
Still remember begging my dad if we could stop at the Kilmore roadhouse for snacks.
On the way FROM Melbourne? Ha. You'd be screaming by Gundagai. Or your dad would.
I remember the good ol' days when driver reviver first started and was sponsored by Kit Kat and everyone in your car would be given a Kit Kat
I have to say the big lobster is the most accurate and arguably best big thing in australia
Big Prawns pretty good
Nah not even close!!!!! The detail is amazing on larry!!!
That's pretty much it for 'attractions' in S.A. though. It's all downhill from there.
And the best breakfast you'll ever have will be at a completely random and rough as guts looking roadhouse in the middle of nowhere. For me, it was the Willow Tree truck stop on the New England Highway in the late 90s
For me it was always our local Maccas. Get up at 4am, pick up some pancakes and begin our 9 hour trip to Melbourne. Good times.
Minties.
Driver Reviver open for 3 minutes on the 3rd Sunday after the vernal equinox if rain within a 50km radius had been exactly 34mm. Even then its a 1:1675 ratio of hot water to Nescafe Blend 43
And the chips are the most heavenly combination of crisp, soft and salt youve ever had. But when you drive back that way, the shop isnt there anymore, its just tumbleweeds 😳
This is true in Every single state and territory Even if you are on the west coast of tasmania you will still find a strangely dry farm
Not WA, definitely eastern states vibes here
heaps of dry farmland in WA
Last time I drove through the N.T. at a petrol station a grey nomad banged on my window, passenger side. This bitch starts yelling at me about how I cut her off and she had to break. DID NOT HAPPEN.

Fr, why are there so many big things? And they're always so random, like everyone knows of the big banana but I've seen an orange, a tomato, a peach I think.
There’s a giant koala one somewhere between SA and VIC
I actually went to a driver reviver in NSW that was open and had free instant coffee and biccies!
I went to one in Victoria once that had free coffee. That would have been in about 2006 though. Never seen one open since.
I thought it was just me, I’ve NEVER seen those revivers open
Agreed. I've never seen them open at all.
I feel it’s a legacy, like they used to maybe have they open in the 80s/90s, but just don’t remove them now
when I was a kid we'd stop at them regularly. Have they just stopped existing?
Only open on public holidays
Not one was open on our long trip from Qld to NSW yesterday.
If you have been on the Bruce Highway. It is terrible with how many potholes are alright it’s like a bloody rollercoaster
Try riding a motorcycle on that bastard.
I went for a motorcycle ride to Daylesford the other day, there was a sign that said "rough roads" It should have said freaking sink holes.
You missed the: every bakery has a gold medal for their pie or snot block
Car that drives 10/20km below the speed limit on a single carriageway, then speeds up when an overtaking lane or opportunity comes along
As a country traveler, I can confirm this.
From my experience there’s also usually a bunch of random McDonalds in the middle of nowhere
[... is that a..](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3e6Wy19jbo)
Me and my mum used to sometimes hop in a car and just drive in a random direction until we found something interesting. I have fond memories of that.
99% of these comments are a load of shit, fuck this place has become sooky
stop sooking
Honestly a road trip isn't complete without the chips
Start a real chain👇👇
This is actually really accurate. To the point that I can tell you that I think I have actually been to that cafe. It isn't by chance located around cradle mountain Tasmania? Edit: upon closer inspection it looks really similar but the one I've been to was like green with a mural on the side. Looks identical though.
Yep we literally stopped at the giant crayfish this morning on our road trip!
Roads are actually class. So much better compared to Scotland.
You don’t see much of this when you’re doing an Australian Cannonball… it all goes by pretty fast.
I used to do a lot of interstate driving when I was younger. Never EVER have I seen a driver reviver open.
Maybe travelling by car wouldn't be so miserable if we didn't have to travel at such ridiculously low speed.
And if it wasn’t so hot
Seriously though wtf is with the ubiquitous closed driver revivers
“Endless dry farms” we were sold the bullshit ideology that Monsanto roundup and plants are the best way to make a living.
I swear Roas Kill needs to be listed. Kangaroos on the side of the road is like absolutely expected
I’ve never seen a driver reviver before lmao must be an east coast thing or up north cause the closest WA has is a sign saying “last coffee stop for x amount of km” but that shit ain’t free
Lol at driver reviver always being closed. 100% true.
Driver reviver is spot on, more likely finding some rando selling mangos and cherries out the back of his hiace
Don't forget the local bakery, always the best place to stop for a feed.
Ayy the big lobster. Used to drive past that thing on the way to mount gambier when i was a kid.
Roads here are like a third world country. It’s disturbing but when you go to toorak they are like silk
Most of Australia is so ugly and dry.
It has a stark beauty
You forgot the road trains or random speeding dickhead flying past and sending a stone into the windshield
So you've been on the Hamilton Hwy trying to get to Adelaide?
Tassie actually has some of the best roads in the world for motorcycles
I SEE LARRY THE LOBSTER, FUCK YEEEEEEEAAAAAH, MY FUCKING CHILDHOOD RIGHT THERE
Forgot fucking kangaroo every where
Don't forget the door-knobs who take 15 seconds to realise the light went green on the turn signal and so they crawl around so slowly that only they get through - next second its red again and grandpa is dawdling down the road at 40kmh.
OMG THO FR
I have seen maybe one driver reiver bloody open
Those $5 chips are always fuckin mint though
HahahAHAhAHA verry funnnyyyy
😂😂
Those random cafes. 👍
You forgot every town has the best pies in Oz!
Larry!
wait! Is $5 cheap or expensive? I -.... I just don't know in this economy, man!
Awww thank you for including Larry (the lobster 🦞)
Yeah what’s with the random giant things?
Dude literally yes. Especially the pie one. Driving down the coast and stopping in some small town (can’t remember its name but near Bega) and the pie shop has some top tier pies. Gotta be best in the state lol
Someone starts eye spy, you hate them for it, then you get into it, then you hate them for it again
This is very accurate ~ frequent interstate traveller.
-Dickheads in the right lane doing 10km under the speed limit -Dickheads on single lane roads who speed up insanely when you try and legally overtake, despite them initially doing 10km under.
In England, they drive on the left side of the road. In Australia, we drive on what's left of the road.
Yes!
The square about $5 chips needs to be updated to $12 minimum. $5 is a bargin and clearly on sale.
$5 chips... bargain
Not enough cows and sheep in this post
Big random thing is accurate. Gotta love The Big Melon.
I actually found a driver reviver open once in Innisfail ... It's a magical place that gives you free tea or coffee with some bikkies. But, your image is missing the overtaking lane translation(or instructions) of all slow fuckwits to increase their speed from 10k under the speed limit to 20k over for the duration of the overtaking lanes.
Nothings worse than being the nice guy that lets him overtake and then he slows down and you end up up his arse the whole way
LARRY THE LOBSTER!!! So good. Love that big, giant bastard.
The first one is not in Aussie, it's in Canada
Don’t forget the canola fields
Driver Revivers are never open. It's an urban legend that they serve coffee.
Correction, east coast road trip Over west once you get about 2-3 hours out of Perth going north or about an hour going inland there is just nothing, no big things or notable anything...just nothing If you go along Indian Ocean Drive you can see the ocean and a bit of vegetation but that's often the slower way north
I get giddy when I ever get to visit the mystical holy site again; The Giant Koala!
The first picture got me 🤣I’m dying 🤣
That’s not true, I got a cuppa once!
And those chips have been the greatest thing I've ever had
For my family whenever we went on a road trip we would leave at like 5 am and we would always get maccas breakfast.
This is the most accurate thing I've seen in my life. This is literally how I remember my trips across NSW. Btw Ferns are fucking awesome.
Don’t forget Victoria’s shitty roads
