Just wanted to let you know. . . Americans do not hate rules. We hate the double standard. “Justice for me but not for thee.” Yeah, we hate that.

As one who has driven the eyre highway ( Nullarbor Plain ) numerous times, let me correct the narrator when he says.. there are not many places to stop. Fuel stations are available ( roughly ) every 2 hours of travel, in a family car. Rest areas for overnight camping are also frequently scattered along the highway. Some have toilet facilities, fuel, stores, motels.. etc. And yes, it can take 3 DAYS to cross the Nullarbor, but I've always enjoyed seeing the wide, brown, dry, dusty and hot locale. Hubby and myself woke up one morning in our lil campervan at 5.45am. We were on the road by 6.30 am. I drove solidly until 5.30pm... and WE WERE STILL ON THE EYRE HIGHWAY.. l o l. Australia is a huge country, if you visit, do not underestimate the conditions and roads. Stay safe.

A lot of people are saying that the musical highway east of Albuquerque is no longer there. Don't worry, as of yesterday it was STILL there. But the signs saying where it is are now gone, the rumble strips are only 18" wide and easy to miss and due to age, the tune has mellowed out some. But it's STILL there

The road to Ladakh in the mid 1970s. Unforgettable. Enormous drops, no rails, constant landslides. Could see vehicles down at the bottom of ravines. No chance anyone would ever come to rescue/help if your car went off. Families of locals would appear to patch the road up after almost every car. Trip took 2 days. Then had to come back.

I don’t know his name, but the narrator of the videos (including this one) on this channel is hands down one of my favorites of any on YouTube. Speaks clearly, not too fast or slow, and is able to inject a slight bit of humor without going overboard with it. You help to make all of your videos pleasant and enjoyable, as well as being informative. Thank you, sir, for the work you do here. - Robert Brown

That Yungas Road is giving me anxiety just watching the video. Terrifying. Great video, thanks.

Can’t believe you showed the musical highway but didn’t let the video sound show us what it sounds like!

I can recall reading about the Siberian gulags, filled as they were 65% or more with Ukrainians during the 20th century. One recollection in regards to the 'road of bones' or similar, is about a story in one of the gulags, about how, during a spring thaw, a whole hillside uncovered huge number of corpses of zeks, gulag inmates. Their conditions of work and of living, were, according to accounts of survivors, and they do exist, survivors and written accounts, were very dismal. I have worked in Australia, in remote construction camps, on oil rigs and a bit in mining. In those places in Australia, heated and cooled cabin were used, the food served was very good, as much as you could eat, laundry, washing, toilet facilities were good, and all of those things were free, with a wage thrown in, quite often a better than usual wage. Very unlike to what I have been reading from eyewitnesses of the Russian gulags, the ones that survived their unjustified 10 or 20 year slave labour stretch in Siberia. In the Komi region of Siberia, if a zek(gulag inmate) escaped, any settlers in those region or regions was financially rewarded for shooting an escapee. An escapee would be hard pressed to escape anyway, from way up there. Also, I read that there was at a time an uprising by the zeks, sticks against guns, and the zeks were apparently shot.

These roads give me anxiety... especially if two cars or pedestrians.

Wow! This is awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us! What beautiful sights!

[marciacochran]

I have never seen these roads before thank you plus I love your voice

[liamuerti]

Wow ! So Amazing ! Thanks for the information, new knowledge !

There is a road called the Going To The Sun highway, in Glacier National Park in Montana(U.S.) that is similar to these roads. It is closed in winter because of snow depth. Like these roads, the scenery is beautiful, but the switch backs and drop offs are demanding.

That road in Australia is also the flattest road in the world. It is so flat that you can see the curvature of the world. If you could stretch a string from one end to the other end, one inch at each end off the road, it would be one inch every where, but the middle of the length of the road, because the world is round would actually be "higher" than each end.

Alaska has the LOWEST population DENSITY, but it is NOT the least populated. Both Vermont and Wyoming have lower populations.

Some odd choices. The Dempster Highway is longer than the Dalton (737.5km vs 666.3), and has less services on it. It is one of the world's great drives, going from near Dawson Ciity, Yukon, to Tuktoyaktuk NWT. It has ice bridges in winter. There is an ice bridge across the Yukon River at Dawson City that is rated to 50, 000kg, Fuel trucks can drive over it! In the shoulder seasons, the weight limit drops.

These roads are very scary and dangerous to me. I will not like to be near these roads. Thank so much for these videos and education

I drove the Karakoram Highway in 1988, we did it with a simple 3 cilinder Japanese car and went all the way to the Chinese border without a fuss. We saw the Nanga Parbat, the Rakaposhi and many fabulous scenery. And yes, lot of parts had landslides and on some parts small rocks hit the car, but it still is a memory which I will never forget.

As a bid to combat fatigue along the Eyre Highway Australia, they have constructed a 18-hole par 72 golf course stretched along its length to encourage people to have a break as they travel. It's the world's longest golf course.

You tell and tell and tell about an amazing musical highway, but we don't hear a single second of that sound here.
