At the Beaten Trak we are all about adventures and exploring the great outdoors! Follow Floydie and Ryball as we work on our vehicles, boats, caravans and disappear down dusty unsealed roads looking for good times.
We're located on the beautiful Coffs Coast which really is a natural wonderland with stunning beaches, lush subtropical rainforests and waterfalls scattered through the hinterland. Here we surf, fish, 4x4 and explore these epic surrounds with our families and friends.

Forgotten Gold Mines of the Coffs Coast (Fossicking Adventure)
In this video, I embark on an off-road adventure through the bush tracks of Nana Glen, exploring old mine sites in the Lowanna and Ulong area. Armed with a metal detector and a rough map, I am searching for remnants of historical mining activity. The journey takes me up through steep, rugged terrain to Cold Water Creek Road and Bushman’s Range Road, where I discover a couple of old mine sites. Along the way, I find various pieces of quartz and a few relics, including an old metal spike and a bullet casing, sparking excitement for potential gold specimens. The video captures the thrill of the hunt and the beauty of the natural surroundings, for those interested in bush adventures and historical exploration.
Thanks for watching I hope you enjoy the adventure as much as I did.

Hi, I wanted to make a comment but don't know what to say. I think I need another beer.
Top spot, Iv been going there since I was a kid, great times out there
Do you have any links to where i could purchase the rubber edging and also the flat panels? Thanks
Come on, it isn't magic, the water fall created by Father God for creatures those live around.
ellenborough reserve
Thanks for this. Can you tell us what is the gross weight of your van? Is your Santa Fe the 2.2 CRDi diesel? Did you actually try to drive out the steep section or just played it safe?
You have a a muffler in the window and on the back so you won't die
Needs more light bars
it looks great, i hope to renovate an old caravan of ours soon, but really unsure how someone who doesn't have the first clue about DIY caravan restoration goes about that...
Should have drilled a small pilot hole first
Hey mate this looks incredible and want to do a birthday trip with my brother. What is this track called or do you have any directions or info?
Hey Mitch apologies for the slow reply mate! If you take Battery Road in Nana Glen you'll head straight into this area. Use Gaia Maps (which is free) and you'll see all the tracks to explore. Have fun!
lemme know if you find a chrome bully piston bmx with blue stunt pegs. did some ghosties back in 99
Ha ha classic! I'll def let you know :)
It can go through it had a snorke
Absolutely :)
Snorke
im not a subby and its the first time coming across your content. I just saw some cheap caravans here in south africa and thought the must be at least one guy who is thinking like me about buying an oldy and turning it into a new one. Thanks for the demonstration now im pumped up and let me sub and like.
Ha ha awesome! Hopefully you find a good project to get going on. Fun times ahead!
Fuck
I lived in lowanna for over 20yrs and between logging , exploring and trailbike riding ive covered quite a bit of ground around the local area , the first mine was an adit , it was directly below the quarry but the entrance has filled with all the runoff from the quarry and you cant get inside anymore , the second site has a whole lot more workings down further with massive amounts of quartz laying on the ground , theres some really large and interesting quartz reefs in the sides of the mineshafts as well 😃
That's awesome mate! Thanks so much for the info, it sounds like I'm going to have to head back to those sites and do some more exploring out there. If there's any other good sites in the area up there you recommend I'd love to hear about them :)
💯 but only with a dragger xam5000 to make shore you don't drop dead from no oxygen or gases
Good tip!
Great stuff I do love that area cheers Glenno.
Thanks Glenno! Yeah it’s such beautiful country up there 👌🏻
Interesting adventure
Thanks 😄
Nice mate👌 it’s pretty cool to see what’s hiding out in the hills! Cheers mate!🍻
Thanks mate really appreciated! Crazy what you can find that's been lost and forgotten in the hills around here. So much to explore as you well know! Fortunate to live where we do :)
@@TheBeatenTrak so true mate! Really keen to get out and uncover a bit more of the history out there! Not a whole heap of info out there but keen to see what I can find🤙🥾
Hi guys thanks for the video will this affect how the Carvan tows now that there is more air passing under it I would really appreciate your thoughts if it affected its stability
Sorry for the slow reply. There's been no difference in the way the caravan tows whatsoever. The caravan has been out on numerous trips including trips to Birdsville, Lightening Ridge, North QLD and plenty of weekenders in the 1-3 hour range from where it's based here on the Coffs Coast. Floydie who owns it has had his Hilux lifted and suspension upgraded to match plus he's had experts run it over the scales to get the weight distribution right and she's all good. Tows beautifully.
I wouldn't go fishing with that bloke anymore.
Ha ha yep but we had to give him a second chance to redeem himself :)
You don’t have to drill a hole in the roof racks, you could’ve just got extra of those things you slid into the awning and put them in the roof racks
Yeah that’s the whole point of the channel in the top of the roof rack and the bolts they supplied would slide in the channel perfectly with no drilling 😂 live and learn ey
I’m renovating my caravan with 240v wires throughout. I only plan to run a fridge, convection oven that is 1400w, lights and a tv and dvd player. The fridge will be the only one running non stop (while travelling around). The fridge is 240v 50Hz 0.73A 106W. How do I work out what size inverter and battery do I need?
Good place to mine opal got 7 jar of opal in week
7 Jars! Nice work! Definitely keen to go back there.
I'd prefer pink, so over black and white paint
Ha ha yeah it would have been a real head turner done up in pink :)
And whats the white exterior panel made out of?
It's made from a an aluminum composite panel called Alupanel or Dibond. It's basically a plastic inner sandwiched by thin aluminum.
Curious why took the metal sheeting off the outside?
Because there was some wood rot around the front of the van that needed repair and I also wanted to run some new wiring and give the van a new look.
Great little inland paradise! Just subscribed 👍
Yes, its so nice out there :)
Stunning !
So good :)
sure is crowded
Yeah, it can be at times and there's been times when I've pretty much had it all to my self :)
Hi thank you for your videos I have watched all . can you please share the link for fans Thank you
Do u use the toilet in there or is that just for storage?? If so doesnt it stink out the van
The toilet does live in that hatch and it’s really only for night time no.1s Works well and doesn’t smell at all.
I work just down the road!
Great spot to live I imagine 👌🏻
No concerns for cracking your canopy or breaking your racks by fixing the awning to both the canopy and the roof of the cab? Just read a fair few things saying it can damage one or both if you go over undulations and the canopy flexes too much.
Interesting point, I hadn’t heard happening before. Not sure how you could attach otherwise due to the length. I’ve done a fair bit of travelling in it so far including Birdsville and back and haven’t had an issues so far. I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks ✌🏻
@@TheBeatenTrak i had my rhino batwing (2.45m and 22kg) mounted the same as you have on my old Hi-ride (2wd Dmax). However once I bought a 4wd I mounted it to the roof platform only, it hangs over the rear of the rack at absolute recommended maximum but also falls short of the rear of the canopy by about 200-300mm. It’s not ideal and am currently searching for an alternative mounting solution before I go and buy a heavier freestanding awning.
Fucking Sexy ✊🏽
Woo
😄
Very laid back weekend. Nice!
Sure was! Loved it 👌🏻
So many black snakes
Yep there sure are!
Good explanation thanks
Glad you enjoyed it 👌🏻
Satisfying
:)
Hey guys could you do the flip with a rocker roller leaf suspension as well...
Just cover the light and wait...
Where do you get the pump from?
This pump actually came with the van when I bought it. You can get pumps from caravan repairers or places like Road Tech Marine.
How do you power the gas igniter?
How come you don't show installing shock absorbers after the axle flip? They really make a difference

Hi there. We’ve been camping up there since our 3 boys were babies 34 years ago. We mostly camp at the next bridge downstream. A bit more room down there. Some fantastic family memories made up there. Our boys learnt to swim there. I would park the old Holden kings wood and she wouldn’t move for a week while we enjoyed natures playground
34 years wow! Such a great place to holiday with kids and let them run wild. Yeah, I've often found camping down the river is better when there's a few people around. Beautiful place with so many great little spots dotted along the river there.
Those mossie like bugs are non-biting midgies (Chronomids) We get them in the Snowy Mountains. Some nights you have to breath through your teeth.
Breathe through your teeth! Yikes 😬 Yeah they didn’t bite or cause any harm, they were just everywhere. Strange that our other nights there were fine and it was just that one night they all decided to come out.
