@@ricardorichardson6991 it’s been abandoned since the end of world war 2… it was secret between 1943 - 1945. Thankyou for watching and your comment, well done!
@@Telephony954 Thankyou very much! Haha there’s quite a few camels here in Australia, I believe the frequent central Australia a little more.. I didn’t see any on this trip into the north west
@@muntenated I’m amazed by what’s out there, nearly forgotten. I’m both a veteran and a prospector, I’ll always have a soft spot for this kind of history. Thankyou for your comment, I’m glad u enjoyed it!
There were numerous allied airstrips and clandestine bases run by Australia and the USA in WA and the NT during WW-II, some well-known, others not. The Japanese bombed many during the war. One prominent one remains today, "Pine Gap" near Alice Springs, very hush hush on what that base gets up to. There is also North West Cape military facility near Carnarvon WA I think. Great video, and a good practice area for you to warm up for the 2025 Dakar Rally and give Toby Price a hand!😉
@@dieseldavetrains8988 correct! There were a bunch of them, no matter how hard the Japanese reconnaissance flights tried they could never find Corunna downs, hence the name the invisible airfield. The base in the north west is just out side of Exmouth, they call it the Harold holt I believe. Hahaha would probs end up getting shot! Thankyou for the compliment!
I've heard a lot of stories of people seeing experimental aircraft around Pine Gap. These kinds of places are I think where most if not all "UFOs" come from.
One of my favourite people,jumping to the conclusion the fire was deliberately lit,ever heard of/seen a dry thunderstorm ? I can see you in a uniform,jumping to conclusions.
Amazing footage...love all the commentary too! Another epic video! 👍💫
Not so secret anymore! Well done!

Wrong part of the country
Australia about same size as US
So spotting things might mean 1000,of kilometres
There are over 1000000
More than in Egypt
I so want to explore up around there , looks so cool
@@DualSportDiscovery incredible country, Dirt tracks for days! Take a metal detector with you, might pay for your trip..
Fabulous images, appropriate music and you built the story to documentary on the region
So well done it’s a real credit to you, mate!!
@@robertjohnston3658 really nice thing to say! Thankyou Robert.

@@MrOlgrumpy u picture me in a uniform.. that’s a bit suss pow..
Yeah, don't you love people who speculate, and of course it must have been set alight by illegal prospectors

Explored the strip back in the 90s 50 cal shells all over the place back then.
