      Thanks so much guys. The hike was by far the highlight of our time on Fraser.
      3 days and we didn't even hear another vehicle. You go through so many places not accessible by car.

    Absolutely loved Fraser Island, spent a few weeks there back in 92 camping out of my 76 Nissan patrol. Will always remember Australia as the best place I ever visited do in part to that side trip!! Can't wait to return some day soon!

    It is an absolutely epic place. Did it 5 years ago, scheduled to do it again later this year but after a trip through the centre with crazy diesel prices, we'll wait a bit. Nice to see some of the familiar spots, and looking forward to seeing next episode. Lake Mackenzie is incredible.

    Great one guys, have you ever gotten the tides wrong and not made it back to bear or at any time not being able to get back to camp.

    • @GrizzlyNbearOverland
      @GrizzlyNbearOverland  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We have indeed done that but many years ago.
      We were travelling Western Australia 12 years ago in our Toyota.
      We went for a beach drive in Broome and didn't think about the tides.
      We tried to return to our camp and could not reach it due to the tide.
      We had to wait 6 hours until we could pass the rocky outcrop and reach our camp 😉

    Do you flush the chassis of the car immediate with water of your reserve, or do you wait for the next citywater tap. Amazing pictures as always! 🌴😎

    • @GrizzlyNbearOverland
      @GrizzlyNbearOverland  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not immediately it's not that urgent but I'll do it at the first opportunity once we've left the coastal area.
      Our first stop after leaving Fraser Island was a car wash.
      I get right under the car with the pressure washer trying not to miss any areas.
      Then I'll use a regular pressure hose to flush the chassis.

      @davidstephens1092 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@GrizzlyNbearOverland Just a tip from some one who has been going there for a little over 50 years, I've found it best, not to use pressure when washing a vehicle that has been on a beach, it will only push the sand and salt into bushings and other places you don't want it. If you can get a rose style garden sprinkler and start with it under the front of the vehicle and every 5 minutes move it back about 300mm ( 1 foot ). Then flush the chassis with a high volume hose.

    @chamarasilva4484 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    @GrizzlyNbear Overland Hi do you recommend land rover defenders as great vehicles for long travels? Wouldn't it be better to use a another type of vehicle like Toyota Prado? I am asking since I also like to buy a defender but I feel it might need lot of maintenance more than other vehicles, and how is the comfort inside your vehicle during long travels?

  • @husq2100

Get out and go camping.
