So glad someone is using the plastic can toppers to chill their beers! So many times I see videos with the beers floating away and I'm yelling at the screen to use the can topper it came with! Love your work and really enjoying watching your presence in front of the camera get more confident and comfortable.
Haha I know right! It's a simple but effective solution. Thank you so much for the feedback, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos and stoked to hear that I'm getting a bit better in front of the camera! 😀👌🙌
Thanks heaps man. For years I’ve watched others like Joe and Syntax getting up to this sort of thing overseas. Living in Brisbane I’ve been curious about kayak camping the Everglades but really hadn’t found any decent videos on it until yours. So thank you again, keep it up.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Bode Jaxx thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Great vid mate. I'm a year late but I do similar trips in NSW on Myall Lakes just nth of Newcastle. I had a hobie 10ft ? also but upgraded to a 5m kayak. You're right the hobie fishing kayak 'lump of plastic' was hard going, kayak is much more fun, as would a canoe be. Cheers.
Mate, that was one of the best videos I’ve seen on the outdoors! I’m in SEQ Qld too and also a big Alton Good’s fan. You look like the guy in some of their videos… we just did a few days hiking in Sundown NP and our next trip is planned for the Everglades. Thanks for the dolmades tip, I can see that paying dividends for years. Our secret weapon is smoked oysters in a can with crackers - don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
Wow thanks mate! They sure di make some great gear. Nice one, sundown is on my list, looks like an awesome place. You'll love the Everglades, perfect time of the year for it right now too!
TH-cam started showing me your vids, it's finally figured out I don't live in North America ha. Great video, I'm super keen to try a kayak trip of the everglades (I've done the Cooloola GW and the other campsites look much nicer than Dutgee on the GW). Beautiful video!
Thanks, glad you liked the video. Highly recommend a paddle on the Everglades. In the middle of summer the hikers on the Cooloola GW always look super jealous watching people paddle by with ease as they slog along the dry dusty tracks. 😂
Awesome!! A year late but great footage, knowledge, tips and everything in between. Cheers for that. Me and my bro are hitting up the Noosa Everglades in May this year if covid lets us! Thanks again!
First video I've watched and watched it all the way through, loved it. Not sure if anyone's told you before but sound exactly the same as Scotty goes walkabout! Keep it up
Thanks for watching mate, stoked you liked it! Haha no I've never heard that one before... but now that you mention it, I'm sure I'll notice it more when I'm editing my videos.
Great vid mate! I paddled to camp 13 the weekend before lockdown as well! Such a great part of the world! Also just did my first hammock setup last paddle about a month ago. Was also quite cold - looking forward to using the hammock in the warmer months
Thanks Tim, it's such a beautiful river isn't it! Haha yeah it get pretty cold in the winter unless you've got an underquilt, I think I need to invest in one. But nothing better than a breezy hammock camp in the Aussie summer!
Mate this was awesome, really enjoyed watching it. Where did you park your car? I’m looking at doing this trip soon. One thing to note was the audio levels - normalise this in Premiere. Great content though man keep up the good work 👍🏼✨
Thanks, Martin. I appreciate it and definitely will be working on the audio levels on future videos! There's quite a few places to put in along this river, but on this occasion, I started at Harry's Hut. Plenty of parking there!
BTW, did you know... The first part (or long part) of the whip bird's call is the male calling. The 2nd part (the chirp chirp) is the female replying. You will notice that you don't always hear both.
Depends what your paddling. It's 18klm from 15 to Harrys Hut. It's a big day to do it on a fishing kayak. Canoe or expedition kayak is the way to go, otherwise a stop over at one of the other camps.
Agreed, it's a slog with a fishing kayak. It was quite some time ago but from memory, 6-7 hours. On a calm day it's no problems, but with a head wind its no fun at all!
Thankyou 😀 I actually sewed it myself out of some material from my old awning from my car, a zipper and some elastic loops to fasten the little containers inside the pouch. Works a treat! 👌
Very welcome! I've since watched a few more of your videos. Seriously awesome . I'm looking forward to seeing more from you. It is brilliant. Might look at knocking one up for myself lol. Thank you for the idea.
Thanks Sara! It's actually from eBay. Was only like $400-$500 from memory? I think it's a copy of the Dragon Kayak. Like I said in the video though... pretty keen to get a canoe! www.bcf.com.au/p/dragon-pro-fisher-kayak/518003.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhIP6BRCMARIsALu9Lfk387zaniKr6_8yqKlhPlhgsm6fECORTuKbSqgseTufVvjXh_ar6PkaApuvEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Jonesy’s Journeys definitely get a canoe if you get a chance. As I was watching your video with my apprentice I mentioned how much a canoe would suit your laidback style of video. I’ve had a Rosco canoe for years and I will never part with it. Nice and light weight and paddles beautifully.
From memory, sites 1-4 have fresh water tanks. Theres also a section of the Great Walk that joins to the river somewhere after camp 5 that has a tank, but it's about 500m from the bank of the river so its not easy to spot. You'll have to rely on your map to find that one. Having said that, once you get to the top of the River, it's all fresh anyway. I boiled and filtered my water just incase as I wasn't too sure of any runoff in the surrounding areas.
So glad someone is using the plastic can toppers to chill their beers! So many times I see videos with the beers floating away and I'm yelling at the screen to use the can topper it came with!

@Bode Jaxx it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
The reflections on the water when the wind drops out up there are amazing.
Yeah mate, that ink like water is just as good as a mirror hey!

Watching your hammock set up at the moment and I'm loving the shots and editing.
Thanks man! Bringing back fond memories?
Is this Dan Jones aka drummer extraordinaire from Yorke?! Great video!!
Haha, in a past life! 😅 Good to hear from you mate, hope you're well and thanks for watching! 🤙
Awesome!! A year late but great footage, knowledge, tips and everything in between. Cheers for that. Me and my bro are hitting up the Noosa Everglades in May this year if covid lets us! Thanks again!
Haha better late than never! Hope you enjoy the everglades, it's a magical place!
Great work. Just found your channel. What a bloody great trip!
Thanks mate, glad you liked it 🤙stay tuned, more to come soon!
Nice work. I getting ready to join you again. Start workout on the knee tomorrow. So hopefully 2-3 weeks ill be ready to go! Can’t wait.
Yew! Keen as man. Bring on the weekly hikes!
Nice, thanks for sharing!

Awesome, well done. You and Scott must be related.

Liked it before I hit play, because I knew I would. 😀
How can I send you a link to a video of my trip from a few years ago?
Haha thanks mate! Just send me a DM on instagram or facebook if that works? I'd be keen to watch it. 👌
@@JonesysJourneys Done. Check your facebook msgs.
BTW, did you know...
The first part (or long part) of the whip bird's call is the male calling.
The 2nd part (the chirp chirp) is the female replying.
You will notice that you don't always hear both.
@@BlackshacksBushcraft No way! That's very interesting, I did wonder why the calls were different from time to time.
Hey mate great video. How long do you reckon it took to paddle back from 15 to Harry’s hut?
Depends what your paddling. It's 18klm from 15 to Harrys Hut. It's a big day to do it on a fishing kayak. Canoe or expedition kayak is the way to go, otherwise a stop over at one of the other camps.
Agreed, it's a slog with a fishing kayak. It was quite some time ago but from memory, 6-7 hours. On a calm day it's no problems, but with a head wind its no fun at all!
Hey Jonesy
Great video. Where did you get the condiments kit you're using?
Thankyou 😀
I actually sewed it myself out of some material from my old awning from my car, a zipper and some elastic loops to fasten the little containers inside the pouch. Works a treat! 👌
Very welcome! I've since watched a few more of your videos. Seriously awesome . I'm looking forward to seeing more from you.
It is brilliant. Might look at knocking one up for myself lol. Thank you for the idea.
Nice one, thanks so much Kylie! 😀
Yeah it's a great little pouch, and fun to make too.
Loved it! What kayak model is that you use?
Thanks Sara!
It's actually from eBay. Was only like $400-$500 from memory? I think it's a copy of the Dragon Kayak. Like I said in the video though... pretty keen to get a canoe!

Jonesy’s Journeys definitely get a canoe if you get a chance. As I was watching your video with my apprentice I mentioned how much a canoe would suit your laidback style of video.
I’ve had a Rosco canoe for years and I will never part with it. Nice and light weight and paddles beautifully.
So did you buy yourself A canoe Jonesy?
Does every campsite from Harry’s onwards have fresh water? Lake Cootharaba is salty and i want to know if I’ll be able to filter water on my trip.
From memory, sites 1-4 have fresh water tanks. Theres also a section of the Great Walk that joins to the river somewhere after camp 5 that has a tank, but it's about 500m from the bank of the river so its not easy to spot. You'll have to rely on your map to find that one. Having said that, once you get to the top of the River, it's all fresh anyway. I boiled and filtered my water just incase as I wasn't too sure of any runoff in the surrounding areas.
Hi mate, Can you have small campfires here?
Follow you on Instagram, just subbed to your channel, cheers my friend, keep up the great work
Thanks for watching and the sub! Really apreiciate the support. Glad you like the video. 😀🤙
