Yeah such a dramatic change in the conditions along the track, you can read plenty about it but until your there one of those tracks where things definitely change and need to be prepared for it, yeah twilight cove was stunning 😍. Yeah was a bit of fun towing the trailer for sure, couple of soft spots but otherwise all good 👍🏼 . Thanks for watching 😊

Yeah fair enough, older vehicles start to get those issues 👍🏼

They were pretty far out off shore maybe 100 metres and I had already been for a dip was freezing cold 🥶

Yeah we love looking back at the drone footage to relive the moment and get a different perspective 👌🏼, yeah the trailer is pretty light but it takes some more planning through the tighter sections for sure. 🤙🏼

Thanks for all the support 👍🏼

Thanks for the support mate, was such a good adventure 🤠

Yeah ended up looking it up it’s a spotted brown Wrasse but it’s a female which have less obvious marking apparently, thanks for reply to my question though

Thanks for the support and the subscription mate, will have plenty more content to come 👍🏼

Thanks for the support Andy, love to have fellow Land Rover enthusiasts follow along 🤙🏼

Ahahahag need plenty of nutrition to keep the curly locks growing, cheers 🤙🏼

Thanks mate 😌

@@SailorGerry longest distance we have done is 700kms, at the time we had a 45ltr tank and 2x 20 litre jerry cans we get about 11-14ltrs per hundred kms depending on where we will be driving I calculate if we have enough fuel, now with the added left hand side saddle tank (no jerry cans though) we have 90 litres of fuel so we can safely get 800kms of range, we are looking at putting a fuel tank in the rear to extend this further. We carry 70 litres of water in a poly tank. We have a GPS Personal locator beacon with us at all times. That sounds like such an epic roadtrip I’m glad you got the opportunity to see some of Australia’s most remote and unique places (especially in the 80’s) Thanks for the support from across the Globe 👍🏼

@@RovingBeyond Thank you very much for getting back with the info. Now that we're all retired, perhaps, will try to convince some old mates to head back to Oz for an outback adventure!

@@SailorGerry for sure mate let us know if you end up coming over and if we are in the right area can meet up for a adventure 🤙🏼

I got about 13-14 ltrs/100 on this trip mainly due to the sandy dune sections. Yes was in low range the entire 500 kms 👍🏼

@@RovingBeyond very impressive! Most vehicles would be close to double that when towing!!!

@@badmatt4162 yeah it gets pretty good fuel consumption for a vehicle from 1989, looking at putting a 5 speed box in it to make it even better when sitting on flat country highways.

@@RovingBeyond hope you document it and put it up here for us to see

@@badmatt4162 yes definitely will the TH-cam is under way and to stay as getting a lot of good feedback, I will be documenting all the mods I will be doing aswell as lots more trips 👍🏼

That’s pretty interesting, bet you have some great family stories from that era.

@@RovingBeyond there's a story of one Xmas dinner being seagull and damper ruff times ,

@@user-ii1di7fy7c yeah interesting dinner.

Yeah would have been awesome to do it in the 80’s everything probably was a lot more remote in terms of phone service ect. We are very glad we put in all the work to be able to experience travelling Australia it at our age, thanks for watching and the support 👍🏼

Yeah that could definitely work 😂

Awesome to hear, it is such a great track. Would definitely drive it again, but the entire length which i think is close to 1000kms.

Hey, it’s a 3.9 litre turbo diesel engine from an Izuzu truck factory fitted here in Australia to the Army Land Rovers. Thankyou.

@@RovingBeyond Gracias. Muy interesante.

Thanks appreciate the feedback, yeah it is the 3.9 but has been turbocharged which makes it a lot more highway friendly towing. Heaps of Torque down low still need to get it properly tuned, have just tuned it so that the EGTs are safe and it doesn’t blow excessive smoke 💨

Thanks for watching part two and always engaging 👌🏼

Hey mate, yeah unfortunately same situation in NSW so we keep her close by when we are in areas of concern.

Great video, just found your videos, have done this tracks a couple years ago in a couple of Patrols and camper trailers fantastic country but quite isolated.

@@rogerspeldewinde01 yeah such a great track 👍🏼

🤙🏼

No the trailer doesn’t have a tank underneath it, it has a sealed drawer for storage. Yeah would have been a serious mission to transport and install them.

@@RovingBeyond Thanks

🙏

Thanks for following along and your support 🤙🏼

Thanks mate 👍🏼

Thanks for all the support on the videos, really appreciate it 🙏

Yeah mate there seems to be plenty of interest for more information regarding the trailer so will definitely do a good walk around and some videos from building it and will pop it together in a video in the next couple of weeks 👍🏼

Thanks for following along mate 🤙🏼

Thanks for watching!

Yeah I as a little far and it got almost to armpit height and Phill is 6ft so maybe a little too deep 😂

Do you mean the lake, yeah we sent the drone up to scout various other ways.

Thanks 🤙🏼

Thanks 👍

Probably through the seams where is was leaking out or through the top breather ports, would have been on the Telegraph track in Cape York I would say 😂

Yeah we try to have some level of safety on our adventures, we rely on our car as a home and mode of transport so sometimes the risk isn’t worth the reward ahahaha

Hey thanks for following along, yeah it’s the back of a Perentie. I am looking at doing a video about the vehicle and the trailer at some point in the near future. Keep your eyes out over the next couple of weeks.

Yeah they work great the wind breaks will look at improving our wind deflectors in the future, the little gas cooker doesn’t do well in wind 😂

Yeah we follow along on there adventures aswell, yeah seen a couple of the camp man’s videos 👍🏼

Our dogs name is Maisie.

Thanks 🙏

Yeah took a lot of preparation and work to get were we are today but It is well worth it.

Haha, are you joking? What year are you?😮

@@oliverteuchert6011 what years the vehicle or how old are we?

I shipped it from the UK it is off a defender 90.

It’s a 1989 Land Rover Perentie originally built for the Australian Military, I will probably do a full rundown on TH-cam of the vehicle and trailer in the near future.

@@RovingBeyond that would be awesome to see what ouve done to it.

@@troy8532 will do a walkthrough, couple of people have asked

@@troy8532b no

Thanks mate, yeah it’s a one of a kind setup that we built before we left over 12 months ago.

Yeah being solo and towing we didn’t want to risk it especially when I was getting late in the day, we had done a good amount of beach driving up until that point and tbh the dune track in near the cliffs was so spectacular anyway 🤩

Thanks guys, yeah we are in Perth atm and making the EP’s are reminding us of how good the track was, maybe one day we can tackle the entire 1000kms together 🤙🏼

100% would be sick!

Thanks mate

Yeah the landy gets us out adventuring that’s for sure 🤙🏼
