- The best laid plans often go awry and this episode we find ourselves pitted against the elements...and fences! In our IVECO Offroad Truck Camper we overland to a remote corner of Australia via a road less travelled to investigate why we can't continue...only to find ourselves bewildered by the options.

That national park property used to be Avenel Station, where my friend grew up. When her father passed a few yrs ago it was sold and became part of the new NP.
Its such a treat to be able to see that property. Must be fate the algorithm brought me here!
Hi Paul and family , stumbled upon your channel and loved your work, we'll done. Your no bullshit style and wordsmithing at times made you easy to listen to and entertaining. Stay safe and looking forward to the next one. Ps , good job to mum on the gates
Great vid, cheers and enjoy your adventures

Thanks, will do!
Hey Paul as always fantastic viewing.
👍🏻
Great video Paul. We spent 5 days stranded at Olive Downs in Sturt National Park a few years ago. Doesn’t take much rain to close those roads. We really like travelling the route along the border fence. Looking forward to the next instalment.
We've concluded - the rain is only a problem if we need to get somewhere by a certain time, otherwise...
@@PaulBrookerJOURNivery true, to be a successful outback traveller you have to be flexible and adapt to the conditions.
Stunning country Paul, look forward to rest of the trip! Poor mum got the raw end of the stick with all those gates!
14L/100 is exceptional economy! What did the big Iveco weigh on this trip ?
Keep up the great work mate 👍
Mum enjoyed it😇
5500kg loaded on this occasion.
Love the intro in this video 😂
We had to do the dash across from William creek to Coober pedy once. As more rain was moving in. Getting late in the day and there had been alot of rain in the area and they had diversions out into paddocks around cut up sections of road. I think they were scarier 😂
Great memories.
Awesome video mate. I will have to ask you more about it when I see you soon. Really enjoyed it
Can't wait!
Hi Paul
good trip video enjoyed all your video's can you do a video one day on the iveco the good and bad points they are amazing vechiles also some points on jackson camper what worked and what did not work
thanks
Great idea…stay tuned
Re: Hawker Gate … in the 1970’s we crossed the fence there (or there about) and went west across the desert to Lake Callabonna and then to the Strzelecki track. So I guess there must have been a gate there sometime in the past. Not so many rules in those days.
That would have been a great era…I was only a lad then and hadn’t discovered the desert - trying to make up for it now.
I smiled, after I watched the video, and re-read the caption. You wrote not to travel the road alone, which was a complete contradiction, as you travel alone. I travel alone and have done so, as you have, for many years. As long as the vehicle is adequately configured to overcome difficulties, and the driver is competent and experienced, the risks are minimal.
Keep up the good work guys. I’m looking forward to the ‘lad’ tagging along in the Toyota one day. Cheers. 👍🏻🙏🦘
We enjoy travelling as a solo vehicle…having others in the vehicle meant I wasn’t ‘alone’ and didn’t have to get in/out of the truck 4 times at every gate!
I’m also looking forward to the Lad being able to drive…I’ll happily go shotgun.
@@PaulBrookerJOURNi And have a couple of roadies.
Epic episode! Has the lad got aftermarket metal poles on his Crashpad swag? Mine keep splitting and I can't find metal ones anywhere that fit. Cheers
We've been through a number of sets of original Crashpad swag poles...the ones we use now are Easton Alloy - they are the best poles available. These were salvaged from a top-end 4 season tent.
@@PaulBrookerJOURNi Thankyou! Crashpad replaced the originals because they kept breaking but they replaced them with weaker poles, madness. I'm on my 6th set.
Hi Paul ,ivecos have some serious electronic issues, very difficult diagnosis, and that's with iveco dealers ,18,000 dollars later and 6 weeks in dock with more than one person I know, couldn't get parts in aus
Sorry to hear…touch wood I haven’t had any issues - I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞

Keep at it pauĺ
We'll try!
Thanks for the encouragement.
Sorry mate it’s Cameron corner not Cameron’s corner
Good pickup - thanks.
why not solo travel i did all those roads in a Fairmont ghia falcon and got 6inchs of rain in Camron's corner no problem your from QLD by the sound of it LOL letting Tyres down on dirt LMAO
The reason for not travelling solo…I would have had to get in/out of the truck to open and then close each gate - that equals a lot of in/outs.
Letting tyres down because standard highway pressure is 65psi…makes for a harsh ride!
Your adventures in the Fairmont would be most memorable I'm sure.
Your a friggin legend eh. How's that "gear" going now.😂
@@colinl9018 dam spellcheck really good and yes i am a legend and let me guess you're from QLD too LMAO
@@colinl9018 oh no dirt quick let my tires down LOL LMAO Queenslanders LOL

Couldn’t Agree More With The Pubs.😉
Outback pubs…The essence of community.
How does the Iveco go on corrugations ?
We just did the Gibb River road in a Hilux based camper and with the weight we could not let the tyres down as much as we would like. So we got murdered with the corrugations. I was wondering how the heavier Iveco would go, and how far you can air down.
Highway driving at 65psi…gravel down to 30-40psi - makes a massive difference. Sand 10-20psi. We had some challenges with lower rated tyres not being able to handle the lower pressures…now running 137Q and have no issues. The larger diameter tyres make a difference also.
We’ve had Dmax in the past…although a capable vehicle it was not comparable to the Iveco.
