@@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!
@@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
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!😉
@@australiantrains8988 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.
Amazing footage...love all the commentary too! Another epic video! 👍💫
Very cool. Love the history behind these seemingly barren places. 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
Nicely done mate

@@detrackozi6292 Thankyou very much, I definitely agree. Just gotta be careful in some sections

@@3goldfinger your probably right, I’ve driven past it a few times wasn’t sure how it worked.
Yeah not a secrete it’s even marked on the maps, we first visited it 30 years ago.
