On the Stuart Highway, along with road trains, a giant mining truck that takes up the whole road, livestock with no fenced road, cattle grids, plateau mountains, red dirt, emus, kangaroos, and wide open spaces.

CB radios set to channel 40 and scanning, to keep an ear out for any road warnings (thanks for the tip and loan, DebbieandMark).
