  • Awesome Film mate. Pity you didn't give the photographer credit.

  • Here is the first one.

  • love it

  • I love the song :)

  • Neil Young on Slim Dusty: " Wow, Slim Dusty realised 106, I wish do that much, thats amazing" That for signifies how much Slim means to Australia.

  • roadrebel ....

    comeon now give the young fella abreak... all that matters is respect for an aussie legend !! i grew up with my dad playing this in his trucks, kinda hard to forget....

  • In the rain when the asshole coming over the hill didn't turn off his bloody fog lights

  • @ablebravo with you there brother.

  • @ablebravo I'm with you bro. Bloody Foglights.

  • hey super damo.. which 1 of the 300 state managers bunkers have had in the last 12 months is your dad.......and the last thing i would do is brag about working at bunkers

  • Awsome song , reminds me of my granddad ,RIP pop old trucker from way back !

  • Just loved meeting these blokes on my Harley in outback Qld. There's nothing like Qld. bulldust. Stay safe fellas.

  • god damn it, so i just watched this and ringer from the top end...fuck i miss the outback n cartin cattle, think its time to get back to workin on a station!

  • that blue and yellow truck is a bunker truck. my dad is the state manager how cool..........

  • great song, I have carted livestock for nearly twenty years, and this song never loses it's age....good one Slim...RIP

  • @andy072pmc I wouldn't admit to carting livestock for 20 years, you should be ashamed

  • @roxcharlie do you eat beef....if so thank me you dickhead....who else do you think gets it to your abbattoirs.

  • @roxcharlie

    #1 You're a Douche, maybe even a turd sandwich.

    #2 Without trucks the world stops.

    #3 Any Aussie truckie will kick your ass and that includes all the sheilas too.

    #4 You're probably a Giant Douche.

    #5 You watched this video and listened to Slim Dusty sing a story.

    Fuck off if you don't like it.

  • @roxcharlie well someones gotta do it... no need to be ashamed get over yaself

  • @Paulkate72 are you thinking of Grandfather Johnson?

  • @PennyWalker82 - No sorry, it's not that one - thanks for your reply though. I think it was on the CD from which this song (Lights on the HIll) also came. Kind regards for your suggestion anyway.

  • Great song, the best video to go with it. RIP Slim dead set aussie legend

  • R.I.P SLIM

  • That was a good video but if anyone can track down down the original video clip that came out with the song, it is definetly worth a look. Very ol school truckin.

  • As a fan of Slim Dusty's music there's a song of his I cant' find on YT, mainly because I can't remember its name. The song is about an aboriginal warrior who's the last of his tribe - it's brilliant, even if a sad song.

    Can anyone help here please?

  • Comment removed

  • @paulkate72 Is the song "King Bundawaal"?

  • @EarlJohn61 - Yes, you've got it, EarlJohn61! Thanks for that, can't seem to find it anywhere even here on YT, but at least I now have a name. Great work - thanks again and cheers!

  • this is for that special ex boyfriend of mine, morton if ur a truck driver in Brisbane u may know him, he is a truck driver himself and i would like to try and get him to talk to me, u know who u r love flick xoxoxox

  • I reckon his 50th was one of his best tapes really. I met him in Chillagoe a few times. This is one of his best songs, but try searching you tube for a song by Slim called öne truckies epataph"I would say it's his best but thats just what I think.

  • Thanks guys ,now I have the Slim Dusty blues , he's really a awesome singer with over 100 albums

  • I really like this song! :)

  • On the return flight from Australia, a year ago, I listened to Slim Dusty for many hours. I enjoyed his music as much as I enjoyed the country.

  • awesome clip! best truckee song ever!

  • This mans music will still be played in 100 years time which is more than can be said about the noise being played today.

  • I play this song over and over while I'm working on my computer I have a lot of his songs on my computer that I like

  • @antietam1958 Me 2 :)

  • While you are all looking at the Road Trains, may I suggest that you look at the road itself. Can you imagine building this road in 110 degree heat? Well done Australia.

  • I am in love with those Trucks <3

  • " j'ais son cd , THE VERY BEST OF j'adors sa musique country,nous avons passer deux mois de réve en Australie MC

  • an excellent song by slim - one of his best I reckon

  • Absolutely brilliant!!!! A great song from an Australian legend!!!

    Thanks MackvsKenworth

  • This song was played at "Big Ronnie" Stones funeral, earlier this week. Very fitting song for the occasion.

    RIP Big Ronnie, champion person will be sadly missed.

    Keep on truckin.

  • This song we played at my dads funeral this year great song miss ya dad.

  • just who is this hill billy.he;s so corny.

  • @chermole that hillbilly happends to be one of Australias Greatest Country singers. love it or leace it champ

  • @chermole somebody of no importance, that influenced the entire music industry in Australia,

  • @chermole IF you are Australian you would know who he is. My assumption is you are a troll trying to get some sort of stupid ego trip out of stupid comments.

  • @chermole seriously you need to wise up a bit. Aussie icons don't need bagging.

  • @chermole like its been said he was the king of aussie country music , i have met him twice in RL and he was one of the most repectful musicions ive ever heard

    so if you dont like him then dont cooment on shit you fuckin know nothing about

  • its a shame our roads wernt built for roadtrains down here....

  • Great song great shots -

  • Great song great shops -

  • Mi lady used to work in Australia; wow, how I miss her!

  • great song,heard it first when i was in oz for a year,love the road trains,much bigger in real life,oz is the best place in the world,miss it loads,regards from ireland

  • l love this song

  • ...One of Slim's greatest...without these roadtrains the people of outback Australia would not get their supplies....great video thanks.......from a fair dinkum aussie.

  • Another great song from Slim. I love it so much.

  • Awesome graphics !! Uniquely Australian .. the landscape & the road-trains featured in this clip are breath-taking. Hard to imagine scenes like these anywhere else in the world .. save maybe for some of the desert country out in Arizona / New Mexico, USA. Yet another fabulous SD number .. written by Joy, his wife & peerless country-music songwriter in her own right ...

  • Sung by Slim, written by his lady - Joy McKean...

    We're less of an Australia without Slim...

  • alot of this is in nor west WA.

  • Thanks for posting - brings back lots of memories.

  • Nice, authentic trucking footage .. uniquely AUSTRALIAN .. & very well matched to Slim's classic timeless legendary song ...

  • wow! this song is amazing!!

    ugh shame on me for never giving slim a chance when i was younger

  • Great song, loved this.

  • Great tune. Love Australia!

  • thankyou for that comment, and it's a great film

  • What a greeat piece of Real Australin History and Country music historyy im 22 seen him twice 94 fremantle rodeo and silver sans tavern mandurah in 97 on the 91 over 50 tour Slim you are a true Aussie Legend and icon we will never forget.

  • great song

  • This song was written by wife Joy. They were driving through a rainstorm in the Blue mountains around Sydney when she got the idea. She put it on tape and Slim later erased it. and Joy was furious. Slim also reluctantly recorded it, and it was released by his record company after he had gone on tour. When his fans started saying how good his new single was, he was baffled. Until he called his record company to find out what was going on.

  • Saw Slim as a kid at Cubaroo. A real Aussie legend. Are there any more like him?

  • Comment removed

  • great singer storyteller my type of song never see his type again

  • i drove for a few years and he never felt that far away. I was in Melbourne the day he died and someone put this over the uhf i"ll never forget it.

  • met slim in charleville, awesome song

  • like anything in this life until your dead very few people know how good you are

  • i never really got into slim when he was alive mostly because i didnt really hear much of him more into my usa country but after he died wow you do realise he was 1 of the greatest esp in trucking songs

  • I like this song i like country too go on the song A THOUSAND MILES AGO by webb pierce!

  • With regard to my last comment, you can actually SEE what I mean at 2:05 to 2:10 in this video

  • .... I've also noticed that, when travelling on broken lines of the highway, if you're doing about `02 km/h, the dots flash by with each beat of the song in a 4/4 beat

  • Whenever I am coming home in the dark, I start this song about 5 minutes out from home ... I have to come over the crest of a hill and down a mountainside to reach home, and the lights of town are visible at the top of the hil. 90% of the time, I meet another car going the opposite way and the lights, coming up and over the crest of the hill, do blind me

  • he madness but he still my favorite because he was my uncle

  • try slipping under the spell of highway 1

  • i love slim dusty

  • OD Transport Esperance - the father in law educated me to the law of Slim (my bullgog mack) love the song - Aussie truckies keep on rocking

  • great song

  • Good song, It's sad that he isnt with us he was a great singer.

  • I disagree with you, as does my great grandmother. Slim Dusty was not a great singer, his voice was average at best, however he was a brilliant story teller and it is a terrible shame that he could not live forever to impart his wisdom to generations to come.

  • Thats your Opion mate and i have my own its australia is a free country.
