Hume Highway

A short clip taken on a recent trip along the Hume Highway near Gunning, NSW. Includes the newly-erected Cullerin wind farm which suddenly looms in both directions, causing surprise to the unknowing motorist!

This is the main road between Australia's two largest cities - Sydney and Melbourne. Notice how busy (!) the road is - typical for this time of the morning - around 10am.

Nice clip of your drive up the Hume Highway! Have the wind generators been around long there? Here in the US, they are becoming more commonplace to see. Also, I noticed what looked like the stretch of road you were driving was paved in concrete! I thought asphalt or a bitumenous mix was more common there! Concrete is fairly common here in the American midwest where I live. Great video! Thanks for posting!

@hawkeye52353 Many thanks, and I'm glad you liked the video! The wind turbines in this video have only been there for a couple of years. They are springing up all over the country, but I really doubt their effectiveness. The highway in the clip is mostly asphalt and aggregate construction - as are the majority of roads in Australia. Concrete is more durable, so it may be that certain sections of this road - in place of its original construction material - have been repaired/paved using concrete.
