The Milkrun - Bonus Run (Wellard to Port Hedland , 28th of January 2026)

Описание: This video is a Milkrun – Bonus Run.

In logistics and engineering, a “milkrun” is a term used for a long, planned route covering multiple locations for a single client — originally borrowed from old milk delivery runs that followed the same route every day. In my line of work, it usually means long days, long distances, and very limited time at each stop.

This trip breaks slightly from the original six-part Milkrun series. Instead of driving the entire route, I’m travelling from Wellard to Perth Airport, flying north to Port Hedland for an overnight technical rollout, then heading back again. It’s the same client, the same kind of work — just a different way of getting there.

Filmed on 28 January 2026, this video shows the outer southern suburbs, Perth Airport, Port Hedland, and the contrast between metro Perth and the red, flat industrial landscape of the Pilbara. These trips don’t leave much time for sightseeing or research — most of what you see is what I notice in the gaps between work.

I don’t show my actual work or clients. Much of what I do happens in secure or restricted environments, and this channel isn’t about showing sensitive sites — it’s about documenting the travel, the places in between, and what these trips feel like when you’re doing them solo.

Thanks for coming along.
