    Amazing. I did that track 2014 in a 80 series towing a Jayco Swift. Lyndhurst to Cameron Corner. 436 kilometres of bone jarring corrugations. The kids still talk about today.

    A Yank here from Wyoming.(Out West) Enjoy your vids. I was in Oz a few years back, saving up to go back. The dig tree is on my list, as well as The Rock, and a few other places. You have given me some ideas on different places to go. Limon lost citys, The Marbles, Cape York. Thanks for sharing. Yes, I'm a subscriber.

    I worked all around this area as young fella back in the 90’s before the new strez was graded. Was great time in my life. Lots of challenges!!! Having to put cover over your tools as they too hot to use a minute after putting them down. Eating crib with the flies fighting you. Rolling the occasional Ute. Getting caught in downpours and floods even. Watching afl final/Bathurst etc at the pub. Fun time. Great video thanks for the memory…..knew combis were robust. But wow.

    Very impressive and I love your upgrades! I did want to ask about the rear hatch tent. In the states, you can really only get these in a thin rip-stop tent material. Yours looks like it is much heavier construction. Could you say where you got it? Many thanks for all of the fun ride-along with your family!

    Those bush flies : did you know that the little black house fly and the little black bush fly look the same but are actual different ? Bush flies are terrified if confined indoors like in houses, cars, airplanes -- and basically panic trying to get out .
    Both don't grow after hatching. Different sizes come about according to amount of food they have when developing .
    So there's your 60 second dose of useless travel info . If you need to know about flies don't ask me cause that's all I know :)
    So; you were on the Block?!! :( . I didn't know as I never watched it or any the similar TV **** . Your rough and ready videos are so much better .
