It's too big for the road and there’s a mountain range to cross. In the wilds of north Western Australia, veteran truckie Steve Grahame is in the middle of an epic journey, trying to deliver essential supplies to a remote community, but the weather and roads are conspiring against him. In the central Australian desert on the road to Alice Springs, ex-model turned truckie Deb Drew is into the fourth day of a 7000-kilometre trek from Melbourne to Darwin and back. Steve Grahame has been trying for more than a week to get his road train into Kalumburu and he’s stuck just 70 kilometres from his destination. But on these tracks travelling 100 metres can take more than a day. The whole community is relying on Steve to make it through. He’s carrying critical building supplies and food to fill the empty shelves of the local store. Mark King is a man with a mission – to get an eight-and-a-half-meter-wide, 100-tonne mining dump truck from Brisbane to the booming coalfields of Rollestone. Problem is he has to navigate the monster rig through Toowoomba’s great dividing range. To add more pressure to an already impossible deadline the convoy can only travel through the city at night. Deb’s got a plan to mix a little pleasure with the business of driving and make an unscheduled stop at a place she’s always wanted to see, Uluru . But Deb has spotted a problem with one of her trailers and gets some unwanted attention from the law. Steve Grahame’s road train has been stranded at a remote cattle station. Persistent rain has been filling up a bog hole that he needs to get through. Graders have been working at the hole and the sun has dried it out, to the point where Steve’s ready to risk running his road train at it. There’s no way he can turn his road train around out here so his decision is crucial, turn left and take on the bog hole, turn right and try a longer way. In the small hours of the morning Mark King’s oversize load has hit a roadblock. No one told him about a new road surface being laid on the highway by a machine that’s taking up the two lanes he needs to get by. There’s a stand off between the road crew and Mark’s crew. The delay is costing them precious time. If they’re not out of the city by sun-up they break the curfew, and the police could order them to stop, leaving the rig stranded."@en }
