Question for the English-men!

[Dtrain]

Going OT,but if I ever hit the lotto or come in to some money,I would love to visit Australia,especially the Outback.
Seems like one of those "Once in a Lifetime" places.PS I like Crocodile Dundee. He is the reason I thought Australia would be a "Cool" place to visit.I would love to drive one of the "Land Trains".I pull 2 trailers at once now,five would definetley be the stuff(Insert Tim Allen Grunt Here).

Land Trains

Yeah, they're pretty cool I suppose.

I'm hanging to try one of your Water Trains!

The outback leaves a lot to be desired. It has rocks, and, umm, rocks.

Some of them are big rocks. Some of them are small rocks.

A few rare ones are medium-sixed rocks.

I've also heard rumours of Dirt and Holes in the Ground.

Hey I got rocks in my yard!

[Dtrain]

I know,but it still looks like something I would like to see and experience.One thing that I learned when I first started driving over the road(I drive locally now),is that no matter where you are you are there,and that there is something to see,if you look for it.I bet there is alot to look at and for in the outback.About the Land trains,it's a Driver thing.

About the Land trains,it's a Driver thing.

I was actually getting at linguistics - we call them Road Trains.

[Dtrain]

I see.Sorry bout that.Most we do here in the States is 3 28ft pup trailers(triples).I pull doubles myself.Out west and on some turnpikes in the East you will see the triples,or 2 48ft trailers(Vans).Out west you will see the standard doubles,triples,Rocky mountain doubles(40ft Pup+28ftpup).We do have 57ft trialers,but you will only see those out west,and bieng pulled by themselves.I have pulled the 57 when I ran over the road.Here is a Pic of what I pull.
