"A small mountain with rocks on the top"
Legendary!
I subscribed straight away.
That’s for the Sub mate, not one of my best moments !! 😂😂👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy on the contrary. It's the dad jokes that make it so entertaining. Keep it up.
Best cooking segment on TH-cam , snags and spag are hard to beat .
Another classic Krusty vid .
Glad you liked it Luke, might have to take the time out to film another one day maybe. 😂😂
@@aguyandhistroopy cooking segments ffs , seems every camping , 4wd , fishing video these days is a cooking segment . 😂😂😂😂
@@HLsab yeah. I reckon there is a steak in every beer.
I’d be f@&ked if I ever did a catch and cook survival episode!! 😂😂
Perfect viewing for this Burger with the Lot
Glad you liked it mate, maybe that could be in my next cooking segment. 🤷🏼😂
Def keen for the next one, looks interesting!!!!! 😅……love that part of the country. Great episode mate.
It’s definitely a beautiful part of Australia.
Thanks for tuning in and watching 👍🏼
Great to see what we missed last year, would be snowed out anyway by the looks of what we went through
Always, just too damned good. Beats anything on TV, 'the offroad advertising programs No prob's you plugging your supporters, it's good info' for me. Thanks so much , you, and your Troops!
@@mort8143 sorry Mort. I must of missed this one. You are always way too kind. My supporters all do a bit for me, nothing is given to me though, I still buy everything albeit a little cheaper than the normal person.
Thanks for your on going support of the channel mate. 👍🏼
Thats my favorite area to go camping etc. Cant wait till snow season is over to get back there. Thanks for showing .
Yeah, them bloody season closures are a killer. Expecting 10cms over the next 3 days up here… Its shit, great for content but nearly every track is closed. 🤦🏽
Love a good winter camp.
We went to the Grampians and it poured also.

#supportlocals
Can’t do much about it… it’s adds to the adventure.
The weather definitely didn’t improve that for sure !! 🤦🏽
@@aguyandhistroopy happy as a pig in mud
Nice. Love the local content.
Love your local areas. 👍🏼
I really love how you show the history and attractions of the places you're exploring. Thanks for sharing my friend 🤠
Too easy Herb, try to put as much info as I can into the episodes.
Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment 👍🏼
Nice little vid again mate. Love
The local info on these little spots. Looking forward to the next one 😎
Cheers Adam, the next one is the pick of the spots in my opinion, I’ll be back to do that one in summer.
Look forward to seeing what you produce from your last trip. 👍🏼
Another classic mate.I’ll be looking at a couple of those shirts that’s for sure. When I get down there I’ll be taking a rod and reel. Those waters look very nice. Thanks for your efforts again. Cheers, BobbyB.
Thanks Bobby. I will have a flick one day. 3 rods hanging up inside the roof. Best be using them.
Still waiting on the Hoodies and T-Shirts to be made up unfortunately 🤦🏽
Not long now hopefully. 👍🏼
aguyandhistroopy.bigcartel.com incase you want to have a look, shop isn’t quite ready to purchase off.
@@aguyandhistroopy cool man, ill wait till they arr available
Awesome mate , what a great area. Can’t beat some snags cooked on a fire mate 🤠👌👌.
You won’t seeing me cook much more Shad … maybe a steak ! 🤦🏽😂
@@aguyandhistroopy I’m cooking a steak sanga right now 🤠👍👍
Love these vids mate. So easy to watch!
Thanks Scotty, been trying to up the humour a bit, I lost my way there for a while. Nothing like your channel though mate, keep up the good work ! 👍🏼
LOL you cheated with the fire hahaha hilarious, wood would've been too bloody wet anyhow!
The easiest way is the best way to light a fire … if someone want to rub some sticks together let them go at it I reckon. 🤦🏽😂
@aguyandhistroopy hahaha absolutely!!
Awesome video. Love watching all your stuff mate
The best is still to come… plan on walking Blue Water Holes soon, it’s meant to be sensational. Didn’t want to risk it with a storm coming in.
Such beautiful country up there.
Cheers Macdouglas👍🏼
Just discovered your channel tonight.
Mate, fantastic video and really nice camera work.
Lovely spot around Long Plain.
I was just there in 2nd week of May filming my own vid series.
Snowed before I got there, and been snowing since I left, but I missed it in between.
Looking forward now to going through your back catalogue and watching.
Thanks mate. As you know it’s a time consuming process.
Yeah snows on the 4th or 5th from memory, and again late in May. But had a good dump again Yesty. It’s shit when ya got to work in the snow and can’t get out and explore.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy looking forward to the next ep.
Coolamine was a nice little homestead. And Blue Waterholes was nice I just got there too late and felt lazy so decided not to do the gorge walk in Crocs 🤣
@@mudgutzadventures436 I was the same, weather was shithouse, it was late, needed to find camp down the road.
I’ll be back again for it, and I plan on walking it in croc’s 🤷🏼🤦🏽😂
Hi mate love the channel injoy watching your TH-cam videos 👍
Thanks Mark, appreciate you taking the time out to watch them.
Make sure you have a great NYE, and spend the whole day in bed recovering with my channel on. 🤣🤣🍻👍🏼
Bloody awesome mate love that country been there on a number of occasions, fished the upper Bidgee and the Yarrangobilly and been to the caves a few times.
@@rodgeorge7244 how good is it up that way👌
It’s my 2nd time to Blue Waterholes and I’ll be back to walk to the caves next time, just had a plane to catch the the GC to see my kids.
Love the countryside and the huts, but I still can’t catch a trout yet. 🤦🏽
Thanks for watching mate. 👍🏼
Good mix of knowledge, humour and good old fashioned exploring mate.
Loved it.
Tackling the elements is what you’re used to luckily 😂😂.
Another great vid Brother 👌👌👌
Thanks Guys, unsure about the knowledge😂.
The conditions certainly don’t improve any in the next episode.
Thanks for tuning in 👍🏼
Gday mate, just found your channel and gotta say its bloody good! Really enjoying what ive watched so far! Keep up the great stuff, see ya out there brother!
G’day Mitch. Appreciate you taking the time out to watch them, and enjoying them also. That’s always handy.
Cheers 🍻 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy no worries mate, thanks for making some great videos 🍻
National Geographic at its best, that Gav and thanks once again for allows us to travel with the Snowy 2.0 guru, beautiful part of the High Plains and great to see it still open cheers The Johnos Noosa 🇦🇺
Cheers Brad… glad you enjoyed it.
it’s only a matter of time till the pricks in government shut it down I reckon. Bit like the rest of the country.
Great spot there mate. Shame about the weather.
Cheers Jase,
The weather was good in that episode, the next one 🤦🏽😂
@@aguyandhistroopy changes quick in the high country
mateeeey!!!! Just back from a weekend camping out of internet and mobile coverage. About time you laid off the mix and did some content!!!!!
Noice drone footage old mate. A few years ago those rocks on that “small” hill would have been a magnet for the drone. 😂 and you’re not far from my backyard at long plain.
Slowly mastering the drone 🤦🏽😂
Half ya luck on the camping, bloody troopy has been giving me some grief.
This drone doesn’t hate me a much as the last one, seems to want to stay up in the air a lot more. 😂
It’s a great area, lucky to have it in the backyard, just a shame they shut it down for the seasonal closures.
@@aguyandhistroopy What's wrong with the Troopy?
@@nudibanches just showing it’s age mate. Harmonic Balancer almost come off, wiper motor and linkages needed replacing, and a few other little things. Nothing major. Just the time to get parts etc on my time off … some times can be challenging.
@@aguyandhistroopy Yep, a lot of people think Toyotas are bullet proof. They aren't, while the ones from the 90s and early 2000s were ridiculously over-engineered, they still need regular maintenance. My 80 has just turned over 400k on the clock, engine never opened and it's running great, but I am always keeping a close eye on things...
Awesome video mate, I’m keen on some Merch to support the channel, keep it up bro
Thanks for the support mate, I just have a few things to sort on the online store, but jump on and have a look. 👍🏼⬇️⬇️

@@aguyandhistroopy Beauty, can’t wait!
Good on you. I'm an atheist, tithing money to the church ain't my thing, but supporting great productions like this is , or can be the same 😊
Beautiful area, never been.
Perhaps one-day .
thanks for your content. Great work. 👌
It’s is a beautiful place up here that’s for sure.
Should get you on one of my episodes… your popping up everywhere on YT lately. 👍🏼😂
Excellent Gav, that area I could stay and explore for ages I reckon. Just looks right to me. Great vid.
It’s a cracking spot, I’ll be back once the seasonal closures lift and the weather is more favourable.
Definitely worth the effort to explore it.
Edited.
The next episode is definitely worth the extra effort. 👍🏼
Nice work again Gav, been meaning to get up there and look around, that camp spot at the end in the next episode looked like a cracker mate. Cant wait for it!
Hey Damo, definitely worth a look when the weather is a bit better.
That camp spot as awesome mate, but on the other side of the road you couldn’t swing a cat. Full of city folk I’m guessing trying to escape for the weekend?!?
Hi, love your work. The Murrumbigee starts at the top of Long Plain sort of near Blue Water Holes but further west and then runs into Tantangarra dam. The other great river that runs due East and then does a 180 degree turn is the Mitta Mitta.
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching.
True mate on the Mitta Mitta but it would be lucky to be 15ks before it changes direction at Hinnomunjie and heads north towards the Dartmouth Dam. Prior to being the Mitta Mitta it’s the Big River.
Only realised that the Murrumbidgee started up in Long Plains region when I got there. Thought it might of been like the Snowy River and started at the dam wall, and it’s name changed like Eucumbene River.
You’ll get me on a lot of facts mate, but I reckon the Mighty Murrumbidgee is the only true river to do this. 👍🏼
Another great episode mate. Keep ‘em coming
Cheers Mick 👍🏼
👍🏼
Cheers Mate 🍻
Another quality vid mate love the cooking segment nothing like keeping it simple 👌 keep the vids coming thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Brayden, thought I’d mix it up with the cooking segment. 😂😂
Who knows what it will be need time. Snags and bread ?? 🤷🏼🤣
@@aguyandhistroopy pack a nice steak 👌
Good one again Knackers and yeah interested in any Merch as well. Cheers.
Thanks Blair,
aguyandhistroopy.bigcartel.com
Its not quite ready, but you can have a look.
@@aguyandhistroopy Cool, let me know when avail cobber, Cheers
@@Chook57 think its up and running?
@@Chook57 it’s up and running Blair.
@@aguyandhistroopy Yay !!
Wicked video mate. Tip for ur dinner a can of veg next to the fire while ur cooking the meat works well
That might be over doing it with the veggies, maybe a seperate cooking segment all together!?! 😂👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy haha might have to show u how to do a bush curry to warm you up mate
@@PUUMBA4x4 not into curry, whiskey to warm me up yeah ! 👍🏼
Crazy to see how little water was around that causeway at this time, i was there a couple of weeks ago on the 28th of May and that causeway is completly underwater again! Hopefully the water level drops again soon as id love to do another big loop from the long plain area all the way around back to the snowy mountains highway! Also great video as always mate! :)
Jacob … we had a bit of snow early in May. Water rose a heap with the snow melt, would be 5 meters higher I reckon now.
No rush to get back up here for that drive, it’s all a seasonal closure which is a shame, it’s a beautiful area.
Thanks for watching mate! 👍🏼
It's gotta look funny from the outside watching you set up for all the walking shots approaching the huts or driving away 🤣
I reckon some people second guess what I’m doing, see me walking up only to turn around half way and walking off. 😂
It’s a slow and time consuming process 🤦🏽
@@aguyandhistroopy At least it makes it easy for you to get your steps in 😂
@@KarlEller I have worries with my step count while out filming ! 👍🏼😂
Is it still possible to do a tour of any of the turbine halls of the Snowy Hydro Scheme ? I haven't been up there for about 15 years.
I really couldn’t tell you to be honest mate, they use to I’m pretty sure.
@@aguyandhistroopy Yes they definitely used to. I've actually done one before. Was really good.
You can still get in to Murray 1, but not into Tumut 2 unfortunately, not sure about Tumut 3 🤷♂️
@@damienodonohue1327 thanks for that mate, I wasn’t sure. 👍🏼
