What is interesting is that the trucks & trailers follow in the tracks of the tractor.  Normally, one would expect the line to move towards the inside of the turn.  I wonder if the trailers are set up so that the rear wheels turn at the same angle as the front ones????

As an aside, at the borax exhibit center in Boron, California, they note that the mules of the 40-mule teams had to be trained to resist sideways pull as they went around curves, or they'd be pulled off the trail.

It definitely looks like Australia. That's the first time I've seen multiple road trains linked together, with a tractor assist on the front. Looks like they had some seasonally wet trails to get through in that video. Even though much of Australia is very dry, some parts get serious flooding at times.
