Yep, the truck driver was really grateful for all the help. Don't know about the slabs. Not too many grog shops around those parts!!

Appreciate your comment. Thanks! 😊

More to come! Thanks for watching🙂

You can say that again, Kathy🙃

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for your lovely comment. Glad to have you along for the ride!

Thanks!

Yes, indeed😩

Hahaha. Yes, never know where we'll pop up next!

Glad you enjoyed it

Love that story. Thanks for sharing. Country people are genuinely good people!

glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome, thank you!

Hey, thanks!!

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Yes, a little challenging 🙃

Yes! All good end result despite the stress and drama!

You help people when they need help. It’s what you do isn’t it? 😊

Thanks ✌️

Yep, you're right but to some viewers it would have been a big deal🙃

93.205 miles at 5,280 feet to the mile. More'n I'd want to walk in a night. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

@@barrysimmons5489, More'n I'd want ta walk in Croc country too.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for your comment:) Even a triple line wouldn’t have worked because he was so hung up on the concrete

Rob, Hope you and Sharyn enjoyed your B&W expedition! Yes, shame we didn't have the chance to meet up but you never know, might bump into you on the road in some obscure place 🙂

No worries Mate 😊

Yeah it was amazing. The cattle hot footed it to the bank real quick!!

Yes very brave and they do it every day!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9hlrLGLy7-2hJc.html Here's the link to an earlier video😀

Thanks very much for your comment. If he could have stopped quick enough, yes maybe. Too much momentum🙂

Exactly what I said above. Only one trailer. Not a train. He pulled the cattle off too by not stopping and reversing.

Yeah, you're right. We were hoping we'd get away with a bit of extra pull 😀

Thanks for watching the channel 😊

He had no choice because of the weight of the truck. If you look closely you can see he turned the wheels to try to get the truck back on the causeway

Your looking at around 120 plus tons it's not easy to stop that momentum

Great video Thank you

120t really

If he hopped out he'd be croc bait

Well spotted! Heather was right!She did distract him 😱🥹

The D7 Dozer pulled it out. Unfortunately we couldn't take footage of pulling it out because it was too dark, too many people in the water , dangerous and crocs were lurking!!!

@@teamd-tour Good to hear and thanks for the update. Realise this wasn't Far North Queensland but visited Kakadu in September '94 and noted the 'abundance' of the crocs at the time as well as the many warning signs - took many photos with one illustrating a Crossing/Ford. Later saw several videos on KZfaq illustrating the presence of crocs at Cahill's Crossing - there were a lot of crocs showing. We checked our photos again recently and realised that the Crossing in our photo was the Cahill's Crossing featured on KZfaq - it sent a few shivers down the spine at the thought. Glad the truck got out safely and totally understand your concern regarding the presence of the crocs in the area.

The manufacturer supplied iit as part of the truck fit out. Contact SLRV on the Gold Coast Qld to get more information. And mention Heather and Garry when you contact them :)

No we were in Cairns. But we were in Theodore and Banana yesterday (Friday 21 July)😀

He was far too stuck and way too heavy!!!😱

@@teamd-tour fair enough 👌

Yeah, but he's human. We all make mistakes 🤔

Yes, that would have been awesome but it was too dangerous - it was pitch black, too dangerous around the machines and there were CROCS in that river!!!

Thanks for your support 😀😀

They’re hard to come by😩

@@teamd-tour I have contacts in the sky hook industry

In the wet season they would be washed away.by extreme flooding events. The markers on the left side are only supported by being wedged up against the concrete causeway. They'd be also washed away when the river floods.

Thanks for your comment. That's a good point you made. We'll certainly consider that 😀

They're just one lane. The crossings are on private property. Not much traffic, very remote!

@@teamd-tour i know but it could still be a bit wider when you have those big roadtrains using them

@@lytken Agree totally!

@@teamd-tour it is not fair for the truckdriver that has to cross, and risking there truck and huge delays and recovery and repair cost

It sure does. He was a good bloke and we were so pleased everyone stepped up to help him

I think he was distracted. He'd crossed that crossing more than 20 times. We're human and I guess we all make errors of judgement. The cattle were released when the dozer came to the rescue. They were safely rounded up the following day 😀

Yes, thank goodness! 😅

Yes, he was really embarrassed!

They were there 😱

We made sure we didn't have our backs to that river!!!😱

In the wet season when the river floods they get washed away. The poles on the left hand side were being held there by the causeway. They are just star pickets

Yes, we felt sorry for the truck driver. He was a nice guy and he felt very embarrassed. He told us he'd done that crossing over 20 times over the last 5 days. I guess we need to remember we're human and we all make mistakes

It was such a dangerous situation we decided to back off and let the guys get on with the job. We didn’t want to be a hindrance to the operation. 🙃

@@teamd-tour fair enough 👍👍

count again hero three trailers

@@martinhowe3679 The truck stuck in the water has ONLY 1 trailer

Now, now boys. It was one trailer and a dolly BUT he was on his way to drop the lead trailer to go back and pick up the other 2 trailers. The exit on the bank was too steep for 3 trailers🙂

He had no choice. His right hand wheels weren't touching the ground 😵‍💫

His right hand wheels weren't touching the ground. The left inside tyre was only just touching the causeway due to the angle of the axle.

We would have liked to have shown you but it was a dangerous situation with dozers, graders, people and the cattle were let out of the truck just before the truck was rescued. As bystanders we thought it best to stay back and let the guys get on with their job. It was also very dark and there were crocs in that river!!

No we didn't unfortunately. We were aware of getting in the way. Lots of people, machinery. It was also pitch black and there were crocs in that river!

Yes, that sure would make sense but It's private property and the floods in the wet season would wash the bridge away, anyway. It's pretty remote and extreme country

Yes it was disappointing not to capture the dozer pulling the truck out but it was a very dangerous situation as you must appreciate and as bystanders we felt it was best to give them all a wide berth. It was pitch black, cattle were jumping into the river then running towards the shore. Also there were crocs in that river!! A lot of confusion and chaos and the last thing they needed was some random people videoing

You can say that again!

I guess the ending was the truck driving back across the crossing the next morning We couldn't video the moment when the truck was pulled to safety because we would have been in the way. There was lots of action going on, people, dozers, graders. We would have been a nuisance standing around videoing. Also it was very dark, and there were crocs in that river 😱

Good question 🤓 Mainly because the area up there floods big time during the wet season, a bridge would be washed away, it's private property and the number of people in the area using the crossing is very minimal

That driver doesn’t drink clown so why say that shit.

😂😂😂😂

😂

@@teamd-tour WHAT IS WIT NIT ?

Wit nit is an idiot😊

Yes, sorry! It was such a dangerous place to be with dozers, graders 4x4s and people. We thought it best to take a step back and let them get on with it. We didn't want to be a hinderance, It was also very dark and there were crocs in that river!! It all ended well, the cattle were rounded up, the truck was saved and the driver as you saw the following morning was on his merry way 😀

Thanks for your comment 😀 The fact that that driver had been over the causeway more than 20 times without incident and then he spotted Heather videoing him , it was more than feasible that she may have distracted him. With the kinetic rope, everybody knows you don't use a kinetic rope when there is such a disparity in vehicle weight.

Glad you’re a hero that’s never had a fuck up. Call you sir god 💪

No, just human🙂

@@RodneyCurtis-se3gy thank you sir knob jockey for the hero complement but you don't need to be a hero to be a good operater the real hero's are people like you that wear their jocks on the outside you must be captain keyboard warrior 😂😂🖕💩👊

Can’t all be legends 🤣🤣🤣

@@RodneyCurtis-se3gy no we can't all be legends at being a gear wreckers like you😂😂😂🖕

It's not tons it's litres. We wouldn't survive without our Truckies!

Not about the music 😂😂😂

They are excellent. But there was such a disparity in weight.

Sorry we couldn't show you how the truck got out. That would have been amazing. To video it we would have been in the way of the rescue. t was extremely dark, dangerous with so many machines and people about and of course there were crocs in the water. The animals were released from the truck. They jumped into the river and took off towards the river bank. They were rounded up the following day. The dozer managed to pull the truck out. 😅
