Honestly, Andrew, watching these adventure videos really does replenish the soul. We're so lucky to call Australia home and all the boundless beauty it has to offer. Looking forward to the next one!
@@funkdunk You're expressing my exact thoughts! Australia might be "safer" than South Africa, but it seems to me that the whole country looks exactly the same. Here in Southern Africa there's absolutely awesome scenery, mountains and real wildlife. I think I would tire of Australia very quickly, especially with all the flies!
In Southern Africa we've got everything you need to see. From deserts to beaches, mountains, forests and even snow capped mountains. You won't find a snow covered Sani Pass down under. Maybe one day when Andrew and Gwynn retire, they'll return to the Okavango. That's where their hearts lay ☺
To prevent the lock from making noise, put adhesive velcro on the lock and respectively on the box. They stick together and there will be no more noise and they are easily separated ...
Nice one (again) Andrew. Thanks. And also, thanks for including Gwynn. She is a warm and beautiful creature, who fills some of your voids, to make your videos even better 🙏🏻👍🏻
I am delighted to repay all your advice with a top tip of my own. Get two drones, hover one just above your head while flying the other drone. No insect will get anywhere near you with the downwash and you have the benefit of cooler air. A cheaper version is a fan pointing in your face, but its less dramatic!
You had me at 18:10. Sublime. Superb cinematography. Just a master at grabbing your audience and taking them somewhere unexpected, not an easy task. Thank you for your work. from a fellow Troopy tragic.
Grandad used to tell me you can always cut a hole in the back off your shorts that will keep the flys off your face 🤣 great to see the toaster come out still my favourite unboxing vid to date 😉🤣👍🏾
Thanks but I must assume you haven't watched a lot of my stuff. No offence. But this is not my best work. Have you seen my African adventures? Canning Stock Route 2017? I think, far better than this. Just my opinion. :-)
We had a screened enclosure off the back of our troopie for that very reason. It gave us somewhere to sit when they got too intense. Glorious music andrew and footage
I used to have a T shirt with the slogan 'Western Australia the great state, 100 million flies can't be wrong'. Somehow I think 100 million might have been a conservative estimate.
@Gwen Please / I beg you / get a cast-iron frying pan with a glass lid. If you can use it in your camping kitchen you will not regret it! Here are my recipe of my favorite scrambled eggs: 2 Eggs A palm of diced red onion Some real/true Parmesan to taste Diced lean bacon / or (Turkey) equal Fry the diced bacon to crispy at medium heat. While the bacon is fried - mix eggs with onion and Parmesan & add olive oil to taste. Let it sit for a while letting the oil soak in to the ingredients. When the bacon is ready/crispy/ add it to the egg/onion/Parmesan mix. Blend it all together. Add all back into the frying pan at very low heat, making it scrambled or as an omelette / to your preference. Do not burn it, not even the slightest! Slow cooking at low heat is the way to go. Good tasting food is cooked slowly! When all is done, serve with the spices you prefer, be it salt, pepper, BBQ, or whatever. - Enjoy!
Beautiful to watch you Andrew and your love Gwynn, out in amazing Australia. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes to you. Jason Mann from Melbourne Australia.
Thank you Andrew and Gwynn. This was another fantastic video. I can appreciate your problem with the flies. Yes when I was doing exploration Geophysics I also found looking through a fly net to be an issue. I finally found a natural cream with Rosemary and Sandalwood extract that worked great.
I Fed those dolphins in January 2001 😊 I don’t remember any real fly issues. Thank you for sharing your trip with us all, it has brought back some happy memories!
no flies in Queensland Andrew 😀after living and travelling in both WA and NT, have to say we don't miss those flies. Love your work, really look forward to every episode. Thank you both for what you do.
Was the speech at the end for subscibers? Do we help the channel? It would have been good to listen to Gwyns opinion on the whole tourer setup. Quirks and all, this video is reality and not sugar coated.
Love Shark Bay been so lucky to have visited and yes we got bogged in our Hilux didn’t quite deflate the tyres enough on Francois Peron thank god for max traxs, We watched a few Dugongs from the lighthouse and the sharks cruising the beach shores, we’ve watch a hammerhead hunt down lunch from Eagles Bluff a damn awesome place can’t wait to go back middle lagoon I was skipping over little baby brown snakes we were both scare the snakes and me. Congratulations Gwynn Aussie Aussie oi oi🇦🇺
I found your channel looking for specific information about equipment and overlanding in general. Videos like this are why I continue to watch. Good on ya 🍻
Absolutely magnificent watching you both now enjoying this latest Troopy build in WA wilderness. Gwynn definitely adds so much to the travel and those few words at the end were so touching - glad you are now an Aussie !! xx Andrew, I have to curse you now as you have actually made me question my LC200 build I’m still doing since buying new in Dec 20 for my wife, two sausage dogs and myself… I am so close to just ordering a Troopy and converting like yours to have all in one rather than buying our off road camper! Errrrrrrrrrr🙃🙃
I also have a camping axiom. Bad roads make for good camping, except very deep ruts, because that means RVers have ruined it (heavy rigs with hard tires)
Hi Andrew, I would just like to let you know that francois peron national park is acually very fully packed on the school holidays, I have been 2 times in the NP and loads of 4wds stock or modified come in and out. The soft sand and corrugations don’t really stop the people from coming in😅😅. The reason why no one was around at the time of filming was because you went during school days.😅
Thank you so much for your beautiful videos as always 👍. But this time you seemed more relaxed and i loved seeing you with your lovely wife 😊. Keep up your fantastic work mate🍻.
I spent some weeks up that way last year - a fantastic part of the country! Shell Beach and Hamelin Pool are also well worth visiting. You did the place proud!
Remember Hans Thulstrop driving a unmodified F10 Diahatsu 4wd from Steep point to the eastern most point of Australia but going straight across over thousands of sandhills.
Hey just had a great time watching you guys. I watch your videos as an amateur & try to deconstruct them to figure out what you are doing. Great time & only the best.
@@ssoverlanding I don't think she'll struggle at all, she's a go getter. You should have seen her go and look for help deep in the African bush when they had an accident (not their fault) in the old Rangie back in the day ☺ Andrew also taught his daughter to drive with the green Troopy. I had such a laugh when he said I'll teach her here where there's nothing she can 'hit'. Andrew sometimes says stuff that's so humoristic, without him planning it that way.
Love your concept of making a wagon the perfect do all vehicle. Only concern for me is that series of Toyotas get hung up on the rear leaf spring carrier. Is the only negative I can see the rest is very positive. Nice job Andrew and your wife is a classic.👍
Your a good overlanding rig builder. The green LC troopy was good. The present blue one is better in terms functionality, liveability etc.. I'm more into alloy wheels than steel (more pros though). It will be interesting to know how good you're in building other vehicles except troopy, like the Disco 1st gen. You got one why not lift it, change those skinny wheels and tyres, awnings, swing outs, long range fuel tank, compressor, redarc system etc.. I don't know why but i never saw Disco 1st gen upgraded with modern moods and accessories.
Hi Andrew, I do quite a lot of drone flying, and I use a DJI Smart Controller, its a dedicated controller with a really bright screen and I find its really good to use in bright sunlight. The screen is so good, when the flies are really bad, wear a fly net and its still quite easy to see the screen and fly your drone, I have never had any problems. If you sit in the shade normally there are less flies as well. Any way I'd just thought I would mention this and these controllers work with many different DJI Drone models, there may be more options now as I haven't researched controllers recently. BTW I also enjoy your videos, especially your remote travels which is what my wife and myself love to do, we recently crossed the Simpson and just loved it, the time we crossed it wasn't crowded at all : )
No more visas for you. Congratulations! Every South African knows the struggle.😂 I still love my little green passport, but I'll have to give it up when I become an Austrian🇦🇹 passport.
Some beautiful filming Andrew > Gweynn a big congratts on your citizenship very cool>. Andrew you should seriously look at the the “ OZTENT SCREEN HOUSE “ fantastic light quick set up bit of kit > cheers terry
Hey Andrew, beautiful video, thanks for sharing. I'm no expert but with the fly issue, have you considered controlling your drone whilst in your car after initial set up?
Gwynn has such a calm, gentle nature. I love it when Andrew brings her along on his adventures.
Here, here. Andrew's greatest asset. And now a national asset - welcome Gwen on getting your 'ticket of leave'.
I agree. She is a jewel. And she fills the voids Andrew can’t himself.
Me too! I absolutely ❤ her sense of humour😆
Agreed!
Honestly, Andrew, watching these adventure videos really does replenish the soul. We're so lucky to call Australia home and all the boundless beauty it has to offer. Looking forward to the next one!
Doesn't compare at all to South Africa's scenery and we don't have to wear flynets
@@funkdunk You're expressing my exact thoughts! Australia might be "safer" than South Africa, but it seems to me that the whole country looks exactly the same.

Thanks Gwynn, you're such a nice person. ☺
A beautiful location and well presented. But then again, every location with Gwynn is simply beautiful. Thanks guys.
To prevent the lock from making noise, put adhesive velcro on the lock and respectively on the box. They stick together and there will be no more noise and they are easily separated ...
I love the dynamic between yourself and Gwen! Very admirable
No Gwynn, thank you very much!
What a great little series, the soundtrack on this episode......brilliant 👌🏻 👏🏻 😀
He doesn't make vlogs on her nor does he try modifying her .
It's her way or the highway no tracks.
Another excellent presentation, thank you Andrew. Gwynn's command of the English language is also impressive.
Yet again, I haven’t watch your videos in a few weeks, @Andrew. Yet again I’m amazed of what I’ve missed. ❤️
What fortunate you Australians, such a beautiful country.
Beautiful ending
Nice one (again) Andrew. Thanks. And also, thanks for including Gwynn. She is a warm and beautiful creature, who fills some of your voids, to make your videos even better 🙏🏻👍🏻
Loved the shot of the Rolex...beautiful!
I'm so glad you gave the drone another try. The drone shots were amazing.
I am delighted to repay all your advice with a top tip of my own. Get two drones, hover one just above your head while flying the other drone. No insect will get anywhere near you with the downwash and you have the benefit of cooler air. A cheaper version is a fan pointing in your face, but its less dramatic!
What a lovely video. Not trying too hard to be packed full of content, just relaxed and matter of fact. Gwynn’s influence?!
This was the best video in the series, just a joy to watch. Gwynn needs to be along on every adventure!
Congratulations Gwynn, on your Australian Citizenship! Spectacular footage, Andrew! Thank you for sharing!
The drone and piano 👌
Congratulations Gwynn 👍
You had me at 18:10. Sublime. Superb cinematography. Just a master at grabbing your audience and taking them somewhere unexpected, not an easy task. Thank you for your work. from a fellow Troopy tragic.
That time of the week when everything stops and time slows so i can sit in front of the computer. Greetings from sunny Portugal
Good on ya Gwynn!!!
Grandad used to tell me you can always cut a hole in the back off your shorts that will keep the flys off your face 🤣 great to see the toaster come out still my favourite unboxing vid to date 😉🤣👍🏾
Thank you, Gwynn, Andrew. Most definitely enjoyed watching your video.
This series has definitely been my favourite production you have done thus far! Great cinematography and story telling.
Thanks but I must assume you haven't watched a lot of my stuff. No offence. But this is not my best work. Have you seen my African adventures? Canning Stock Route 2017? I think, far better than this. Just my opinion. :-)

Was there last week, stayed ar gregories. Beautiful place.

Nothing like a great side kick to chase the flies away.

One of your best balanced and entertaining vids. Steve 🇦🇺
good another try Andrew, amazing good
Thank you Andrew and Gwynn. This was another fantastic video. I can appreciate your problem with the flies. Yes when I was doing exploration Geophysics I also found looking through a fly net to be an issue. I finally found a natural cream with Rosemary and Sandalwood extract that worked great.
You might try one of those little fly net dome tents, quick setup and you can sit inside and fly the drone without being “bugged”.
The cinematography (is that the right word?) is spectacular. Thanks for sharing!
Had a little chuckle, Andrew still has his uk skin
Very enjoyable Andrew 😊
Congratulations Gwen!
Nice. You and Gwen again.
Such great content as always. You continually inspire us. Thankyou. Love it when Gwyn goes with you. Love Gywn, very funny and entertaining. Xx
Excellent
Great spots and great shooting
Your Wife is utterly adorable. Just a positive and lovely lady. Question....... how on earth does she put up with you? Please explain. :)
She takes the good with the not so good :))
She is a lovely person. She's South African, and that's why.
Thank goodness she's not British ☺
Very nice manicure and great color @ 21:07
you two make a great team cheers from vic
I Fed those dolphins in January 2001 😊 I don’t remember any real fly issues. Thank you for sharing your trip with us all, it has brought back some happy memories!
Bloody beautiful scenery 🔝🔝loved the series guys 👍👍👍You both were so funny together 😂😂😂
Cannot more agree to the comment just made b4 - These Videos do replenish the soul ! I wish I could be there off-roading and filming ! Magnifico !
no flies in Queensland Andrew 😀after living and travelling in both WA and NT, have to say we don't miss those flies. Love your work, really look forward to every episode. Thank you both for what you do.

Footage is amazing. We use Bushman Red when we go up there, shut your eyes and spray your face. Click, Bang, Done !! No more fly's. Cheers
Awesome content as always.Great cinematography by a legend .Thanks for sharing and taking us along
I have enjoyed this video from Canada ! Also previously 30+ years ago from Zambia and South Africa
Another excellent film.
Beautiful!

You should build a hat with a fan in the brim for drone use with flies😁

After May and the flies aren't so bad up there.
Stunning scenery. Encouraged me to return to the West again. Hmmm. Must fix the Discovery for that. Great content as always thanks.
Hey just had a great time watching you guys. I watch your videos as an amateur & try to deconstruct them to figure out what you are doing. Great time & only the best.
Nice one Andrew
I get in the vehicle to use the drone when there’s flys around 😂 👍🏼
The newest Australian citizens should also be given privileges of driving the mighty criuser.
Yes! Let's see Gwyn driving the troopy. Fab.
@@ssoverlanding I don't think she'll struggle at all, she's a go getter. You should have seen her go and look for help deep in the African bush when they had an accident (not their fault) in the old Rangie back in the day ☺

Diolch y fawr Andrew and Gwynn best wishes from Wales 🏴
Diolch y fawr. My grandparents were Welsh.
@@gwynnwhite4500 You have welsh blood ,that’s why you are so lush .Best wishes again from beautiful wales 🏴
I'm so pleased that the east coast of Australia is not suffering this fly problem that the west seems to be...
Same, I live on the east coast and have never experienced these fly problems.
Love your concept of making a wagon the perfect do all vehicle. Only concern for me is that series of Toyotas get hung up on the rear leaf spring carrier. Is the only negative I can see the rest is very positive. Nice job Andrew and your wife is a classic.👍

Great video...great scenery...straya...land of the FLIES 😂🤘🏻
On Today's Episode: Gwynn becomes Australian, Andrew wears flamingos, and a dolphin eats a snack.
The flies would drive me insane
Those prints are probably wild cat prints. They are prolific at steep point. Made their way off Dirk Harrogate Island
Gwynn. The Indian ocean is said to be warm..... they lied .
we cracked up!!
Nice
What would you estimate to be the total cost of your troop carrier?
$2
Hey Andrew, beautiful video, thanks for sharing. I'm no expert but with the fly issue, have you considered controlling your drone whilst in your car after initial set up?
Imagine thinking there is a shortage of sharks outside marine reserves in the north west. LOL I wish there were no sharks in fishing areas up there.
Outstanding as always! Amazing work! Curious about the leather dash organizer, is that custom or can it be ordered from somewhere?
Hi Andrew, love your trips. Thanks for sharing your life and trips with us. May I ask, what editing program you use.?
