I have seen videos of three trailers being backed into a spot... it seems counter intuitive how you do it

They don't. Either around the block or start unhooking trailers.
But if you do a big circle around the block, won't you crash into one of your rear trailers???

As a rule the land trains are limited to only two trailers in urban or urbanish areas. Three in sligtly more outlying areas, then once in the wide open, as many as they want.
I've seen footage of a triple trailer backing up. They only back up in a straight line. And, yes, they do have the right of way in the outback. (Although who would want to argue with one??)

But if you did circle the block in one of those monsters, you would be safe from indian attacks!

Who would hire a truck driver that drives on the wrong side of the road? Silly Aussies.

I suspect it has more to do with clean air above the "Bulldust" (very fine dust that gets into everything.)
