What a magical place and it looks like you had it to yourself. Beautiful colours. Really loved the shot with the little black tree. Astro shot was just showing off 🤪 Love your work.
Many thanks Gary 🙏 Yes, we mostly had the place to ourselves - it's one of those locations which the bus loads of tourists don't quite make it to... Ha ha, the astro shot was totally unplanned - I walked outside to the car, looked up for a sec and thought hmmmmm. Great skies out there for astro 😉 All the best!
Hey thanks Nathan - really appreciate it. Yes, it's definitely one to keep on the list if you're ever over that way. All the best and thanks for watching 👍🏻
Thanks so much Shelley. After all the scrambling around I did up there, I must admit I was pretty happy when I found the little vantage point. All the best!
Stunning photos. I didn't know about this area, yet I was only in Coober Pedy in April this year. Looks like I need another trip back to that part of the world. Thank you for showing us. Take care
Many thanks Liz. Yes, not too far from Coober Pedy over in the direction of Oodnatta. It's quite an easy drive in there and fun to wander around up on the ridge lines to see all the vantage points. Interesting place to keep on the list for next time 👍🏻. Thanks for watching!
Interesting and enjoyable video, as usual. I'm not familiar with this place but it looks like a magnificent spot to explore. Favourite frame is probably the one with the three peaks.
Many thanks Geoff - much appreciated. I must admit I was pretty happy when I came across the little vantage point which enabled me to get the pano. It was the perfect spot for it and I thought the result wasn't too bad. All the best and thanks for watching.
Ha ha - thanks Fanny - great to hear from you! Those cows were in danger of becoming steaks if they hung round on the road any longer. I was on the way back for dinner and getting hungry, ha ha 😃
Stunning location and the images are just superb. We visited the Breakaways just out of Coober Pedy on your recent trip but did get to this spot. Next time. Great video BTW
Many thanks David. Yes, you may have recognised a couple of the bonus shots were from the Breakaways. The Painted Desert wasn't too difficult to get to at all - keep it on the list. I liked that you are mostly free to roam around and look for the best vantage spots. All the best.
Great video Brian. The drone footage was spectacular. Liked all the images but outback trees and the stunning night sky are hard to beat. Just a thought, did you drop the tyre pressures on the van as well? Often overlooked, but a van blowout can be just as serious in the middle of nowhere. Keep them coming. Cheers, Merv.
Many thanks Merv. I agree - some of these outback trees just have so much character. Good pick up on the van tyres - I did drop the pressures there and got some footage of it but didn't want to bore everyone with too many details 😉 All the best and thanks for watching.
Wow, awesome, Brian. You've just changed our plans from Darwin. we'll have to turn right go down that way, I think.. Enjoy your touring. Ps and shhhh, most people do not realise our weight restrictions. All the best and merry Xmas.
Many thanks Robbo. Definitely worth a little visit. Ha ha - yes, be careful with those towing weights. We're well under as our van only has a 2T tare but it helps when you're trying to get in to the more challenging ones. This one was easy though. Thanks for watching!
Doesn't look like a place you want breakdown in Brett. That looks hot and dusty. Liked your tyre deflating gizmo. Beautiful colours in the rocks. Travel safely.
Ha ha all good - thanks Barry. Yes, it's quite a fascinating place. Nice that you can scramble around up the hill tops but yes, you really don't want to break down in these places! All the best and thanks for watching.
Hi Ian - welcome and thanks for the comment. I'm actually using grads less and less now, particularly when I'm travelling. I find them most useful if you have a very flat horizon such as a seascape etc - just to bring a little balance to the shot so you don't blow out highlights in the sky but to be honest, you can almost get the same results by bracketing and bringing the shots together in post. All the best and thanks for watching!
Hi Michael. I really like the Summit Creative bag and still have it. The only reason I'm using the Shimoda one currently is that it's a slightly smaller bag which is good for what we're doing at the moment. As you probably know, every kilo counts when you're driving around the country and I didn't bring my full arsenal of camera gear for the trip. I'll most likely switch back over to the Summit bag when we get back. All the best and thanks for watching.
@ thanks, I’m weighing between both bags and it seems like the Summit bag is better feature-wise. Though I am not too sure about QC given the perception of it being somewhat of a knockoff. Regardless I think it should be relatively close given that the Shimoda bag is likely built my similar factories in China, excluding the customer service. Any thoughts?
@@Michael-dx8qzyes, everything seems to come out of China nowadays - not that it's necessarily a bad thing of course. I was very impressed with the quality of the bag. The materials feel identical to those used in other top of the range bags I've seen around the traps so no issues there. I understand your comment but I wouldn't necessarily categorise it as a knock off - as I said in the video, they seen to have taken a lot of the good ideas in the market and combined them to form a new product. Anyway, all the best with your decision 👍
What an amazing place. ❤
Wow … what an amazing place.. great shots as always and then bonus shots 🙌
Thanks so much Lizette 🙏. I loved that little tree in the bonus shots - he was so photogenic. Good place for a little visit.

What a great place Brian, love those peaks. Great captures.
Many thanks Paul. Keep this one on the list too. Fascinating place. All the best!
Great video & great shots Brian! What a stunning landscape.
Hey thanks Nathan - really appreciate it. Yes, it's definitely one to keep on the list if you're ever over that way. All the best and thanks for watching 👍🏻
That pano at the end was very impressive.
Thanks so much Shelley. After all the scrambling around I did up there, I must admit I was pretty happy when I found the little vantage point. All the best!

Wow, what a place! And really nice bonus shots as well! 👍
But what were the cows doing in the desert? 🤔
Ha ha - thanks Fanny - great to hear from you! Those cows were in danger of becoming steaks if they hung round on the road any longer. I was on the way back for dinner and getting hungry, ha ha 😃

Oops Brian. Damn spell check.

Just found your channel and really enjoying it. I thought I noticed you using some graduated filters. Any reason for not doing this in post?
Hi Ian - welcome and thanks for the comment. I'm actually using grads less and less now, particularly when I'm travelling.

Hey I noticed you stopped using the Summit Creative bag you reviewed last time. What do you think of that bag vs the Shimoda that you’re using now?
Hi Michael. I really like the Summit Creative bag and still have it. The only reason I'm using the Shimoda one currently is that it's a slightly smaller bag which is good for what we're doing at the moment. As you probably know, every kilo counts when you're driving around the country and I didn't bring my full arsenal of camera gear for the trip. I'll most likely switch back over to the Summit bag when we get back. All the best and thanks for watching.
if they were the same size, would you generally go for the Summit Creative instead?
@@Michael-dx8qz yes, if they were the same size, I wouldn't hesitate to grab the Summit bag. I thought they were excellent value for money too.
@ thanks, I’m weighing between both bags and it seems like the Summit bag is better feature-wise. Though I am not too sure about QC given the perception of it being somewhat of a knockoff.
