@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures Did Dawin - Perth 25 years ago...all hardtop on the bus. Moved U.K. to Thailand 14 years ago...time of life to get proper red center dust now.
Today I stumbled upon your channel via the 1957 resto. I knew you were an Aussie immediately and love your humour. I have started to watch your vids from the oldest and am impressed by the transition from amateur to professional productions. The bird shots are unique and form an extra dimension to these types of vids. I hope you both continue to capture images of locations and wildlife wherever you visit. Many who try doing what you are doing might well watch your work and learn from it. Your Aussie humour is akin to Paul Hogan and is extremely entertaining. I look forward to your future postings. Cheers from Oz.
Greetings Grahame. Glad you like the films, we do aim to showcase the places we go and the creatures that live there rather than ourselves. The wildlife stuff is a lot of fun, has all the aspects of hunting but a better outcome for all concerned. Making progress on the restoration, slow progress but progress nonetheless.
I am a great fan of you guys. I think I have watched almost all of your videos, I think all the Western Walkabout and almost all from this side US. Love you guys.
Great video Mr Foreman and Ms Wilms. Having done the Holland Track and around to Cave Rock through to Lake Johnstone back in 2014 I was amazed at how much the landscape changed as we travelled north from Hyden to Coolgardie (emergency pitstop due to a puncture in the sidewall of the Cooper AT3). I was expecting red dirt as far as the eye can see, so was amazed to see white beach sand, yellow sand, Eucalypts, thickets and scrub in the middle of nowhere. Truly amazing country !Also credit to the Land Cruiser club of WA for the upkeep and preservation of this iconic WA track.
Greetings Pajman. A sidewall tear in a cooper smells terribly expensive to me. I recall amazement at how well vegetated our continent is. Even the Simpson desert has a good covering of spinifex grass. The endless plains of red dirt are a bit of a 'miff'. Some interesting terrain I've encountered was the gibber plains on the eastern side of the Simpson. I think it's called channel country. Having digressed a lot that Holland track was indeed a fun little trip.
Awesome video you two! What a wonderful showcase of all the wildlife in that area, I love all the footage you got. I grew up in that mallee scrub around the wheat belt so it brings back fond memories, especially the little thorny devil and his blue steel gaze. ;) I can't believe you even saw a mallee fowl! Brilliant. Myself and some friends are going to do the Holland track shortly, first week of September, really looking forward to it. You guys are mint, keep up the great work!
Well done! keep them coming, love how you dont bang on about how much gear you need and all the other superfluous trappings of the modern world. The birds and wildlife is what its all about. Thanks
Mate, why the major networks haven't picked you and Wilms up is beyond me. The demographics you guys appeal to is much broader than the "two blokes with a tinnie" type of thing. Thanks to you, I'm planning my first trip up the CSR for next year. Looking forward to that and more adventures from you guys. Love ya work Gav and Wilms.
Fab Ant thanks again for the comments. Wilms has just put together a little website with a section on the canning with tips and advice that might be handy. Foremanandwilmsadventures.com. Good on you for tackling the canning. It will be an awesome trip.
We're about to do the holland track this July , we've done it once before and started over on hyden side , but this time round we are starting on the side of coolgardie . so much to see and so much to do.
It’s a great trip. We discovered it by accident in the Fremantle map shop and barely any TH-cam videos on it. Since then some of the big channels have been out there and it’s become famous.
Awesome presentation Gavin and Wilmsy. Really excellent job, and do greatly appreciate your efforts for your travels, and for the presentation, especially the excellent footage that you have gathered and put together. Cheers. Matt.
Great video guys, Love all the bits of info youve included. My gf’s fram is near the off road part of the holland track and seeing mallei fowls is a daily occurrence, they love coming into the paddocks to eat the grain, sometimes even in packs of 6 or more!
+Peter Hanson greetings there Peter. If you have a 110 sitting out the back then I don't think your legally allowed to wait for an extended holiday. An exceptionally unreliable source claimed it to be your legal obligation to gather the clan, pack the gear and venture into the wilds immediately. At least that's what my source claimed. Thanks for the comments Peter.
enjoyed watching this film as well, great job on the filming & documenting your trips, would love to see a video of your truck & what you carry on board to do such amazing trips, been watching a few online vids & taking notes as to what people are taking with them, you know the old story, when heading off on these trips you always forget something when packing :)
Well done to both of you, another great video very professional, please don't leave it toooo long before your next adventure, I am looking forward to it already. A guided tour of your defender would be interesting (well to me anyway)
richardtww Thanks for the comments Richard. The inside of the Defender is an unorganized mess but a tour could well be scheduled. Its an old telstra truck from Alice Springs that I got cheap from an auction full of smoke butts and antique coins when cents could actually by a sweet or two. I've made a few upgrades. Most notably the water bag that hangs off the bull bar.
Wow, why haven't I seen your channel before? Really top-notch stuff. You should have a heap more subscribers, we will see what we can do to let people know about this great channel.
Mr. Foreman. I've met you a couple of times in Africa in places like Kande Beach, everywhere in Namibia and all the way up to Kampala. I was a freelance overland driver for various companies before I moved to Perth. Are you still touring locally? If you ever want to build a truck and start touring, let me know...
Hey Wilhelm! How long have you been in Perth. Wilms and myself were based there for a few years but have now moved to the states. I’m working as a ranch hand. Had to give up the touring as getting too old and cynical.
+jamit2006 greetings there. We bought a little map and info book on the holland track from a map shop in Fremantle but I can't remember the author. There aren't too many however. Also on my Garmin nuvi I have the oz topo maps which cost me about $200 bucks. That has the holland tracks and canning stock route on it. Helps keep me out of trouble. Some folk might call me a pussy for using that sort of technology so we better keep it a secret.
+jamit2006 Yep. Mystery solved. Good to hear from you. The Holland track in late Oct should be a trifle warm. You'll need to take plenty of fluids. Emu xport, xxxx, swan lager and some vitamin C such as Cabernet merlot. I'm in the States now so visits to the warehouse are a bit sparse. Hope all is well and enjoy the Holland track.
I stumbled across your videos while researching the Holland Track for a trip next year. I really enjoyed you commentary, fast editing and I am assuming drone footage? I was also impressed with the accuracy of your wildlife identifications! Keep up the great work! Cheers, Mark
+Westcoast Mark Greetings there Mark. Sorry for late reply, youtube put you in the likely spam section and I had to fish it out. Thanks for the comments. I do have a drone for filming with. Fantastic machines. Best of luck on the Holland track. Its a great little drive. Cheers for now.
+Westcoast Mark I have a confession on wildlife identification having misnamed a white eared honey eater calling in a white cheeked. Keep that one quiet!
Totally Films greetings there. Sorry for late reply, we're currently up in the Kimberly. The drone setup is the dji phantom 2 with a h3-3d gimbal that carries a gopro hero 3. There is also a fpv setup allowing us to see what the camera sees on a monitor but it's not very good with a short range to often we fly blind. The new phantom 3 professional looks to be much better. Thanks for the comments. Cheers.
+Totally Films greetings there. Thanks for the comments. The drone is a dji phantom 2 with a zenmuse h3 3D gimbal and a GoPro hero 3 black on medium view. The wide angle creates too much distortion. It is equipped with a monitor for fpv but the range is a bit rubbish. I think the new phantom 3 professional might be an awesome upgrade when the lottery comes through.
Enjoyed your video, one question, can this track be done with an 'Off the showroom floor' Mitsubishi Triton? I am a newbie 4x4 owner, would this track be suitable?
Greetings Peter. I would say yes you could take the triton along the track. Having some suitable tyres would be a bonus over anything designed just for city driving and a spare or two. I think the only real problem otherwise would be if the track had recently received a lot of rain. Take it slow and have fun, cheers.
I’d say yes you can though conditions may be a little trickier when it’s wet. We found the trail fairly easy going at the time. Since then it’s become very popular so I can’t attest to current state of the track.
+Elias Sousa My Portuguese is a little rusty. On big trips we carry extra fuel and water in 20 ltr containers. For food we have a 12 volt car fridge/freezer. We divide our meat into portions and freeze it with frozen vegetables after the fresh stuff runs out. I hope google translate got it right.
+Elias Sousa This google translate is fun. We are not biologists. I was a tour guide in Australia and Africa and now just drive trucks. Summer was in animal care. We have a passion for the natural world and do lots of research.
Loved the vlog guy's! Sweet defender too All the best from Scotland 🏴
Been binge watching your channel since I found your Allagash trip videos. Love em!
Glad you like the channel Katie, our apologies for the late reply we've been out in the bush for a while playing about on rivers. Cheers.
Great...down and grubby...not a care...what a place. Hoping to get over for some ( all organised, since am not a native ) outback trips.
Greetings Keith. I reckon you’ll enjoy those outback trips. I’m living in the states at present but looking forward to doing a few more myself.

U suppose to put the noodles in after the water has boiled mate

+jamit2006 who is jamit2006?
+Gavin Foreman Jarrod from the Warehouse. We talked about 4wding and buying Jeeps. I'm about the hit the Holland Track in late Oct.

My new favourite line - "I'm not subscribing to your bullshit" :-D
I think that may be a Wilms original. She can be quite unco-oprative at times.

Love it. Did the track in March just gone.
Can I ask what drone set up you were using, camera included? They are impressive shots.

Bonza. I believe that would be the correct term to use for video, The drone footage is fab, how come National Geographic has not signed you up yet?

Going to do this track as soon as my new Triton is ready. Getting a lift done and A/T fitted.... your Video is my Inspiration :-)
Hey Gavin, did you work for African Trails by any chance? Great videos!
wilhelm horstmann greetings Wilhelm. Thanks for your comments. I did indeed work for African trails for 6 years or so.
Great video. When cooking 2x2-minute noodles, sentences run concurrently (too lazy to check if it's already been said soz)
👍👍
Can I tow a of road camper along the track
I’d say yes you can though conditions may be a little trickier when it’s wet. We found the trail fairly easy going at the time. Since then it’s become very popular so I can’t attest to current state of the track.
no meio dum deserto desse como voces fizeram para abastecer?
+Elias Sousa My Portuguese is a little rusty. On big trips we carry extra fuel and water in 20 ltr containers. For food we have a 12 volt car fridge/freezer. We divide our meat into portions and freeze it with frozen vegetables after the fresh stuff runs out. I hope google translate got it right.
+Gavin Foreman obrigado pelas respostas a gostaria de saber tambem voce e sua esposa sao biologos?
+Elias Sousa This google translate is fun. We are not biologists. I was a tour guide in Australia and Africa and now just drive trucks. Summer was in animal care. We have a passion for the natural world and do lots of research.
+Gavin Foreman muito obrigado voces sao muitos cuidadosos com a natureza parabens!
+Gavin Foreman desculpa cara esqueci de me apresentar sou da capital do Brasil - Brasilia curti muito seus videos abraços !
