- This week we head up from Brisbane along the Burnett HWY. There is so much more to see, free camping and less traffic
With what little info we could find we drag the trailers up the steep climb from Monto. The track is defiantly not for caravans, but ok with campers. Not rutted, just a bit rocky, steep and long.
We had 2 days of heavy rain and we where actually in the clouds so everything inside and out was wet. The track dried out fast and supprisingly the creeks where not flowing, which if they where could easliy leave you stuck up there. More heavy rain was forecast so we left a couple of days early to be on the safe side.
Camped at Razerback which we picked so to be alone, but turns out main camp ground was very quiet.
National park has no water, bins and only pit toilets at the main camp ground. Be respectful at the bomber crash. It felt like a grave site as the bodies would have been there for 50 years. Its a mark of respect to see this site and leave it undisturbed.
Awesome video mate, I live in Gladstone not to far away from kroombit tops I’ve been watching your videos from since August/September I love the trips you go on but loving the patrol a little more hahah keep up the awesome videos
Thanks for the support, yeah the Patrol is a member of the family. She's a great rig, couldn't imagine getting rid of it. Stay tuned, big plans this year
@@GoingOverland no worries mate, I can’t wait to see your big plans 😁😁
Livin the dream guys..we have lived within 200km of kroombit and not don't the drive but i think you've spurred me into action..safe travels
Awesome video guys. Love the sound of a angry td42💪
To promote Kroombit Tops National Park in Australia. The Destiny's Child hit Lose My Breathe could be remixed changing the chorus lyric of: 'can you keep up' to 'kroooommmbit tops!'
You'll love every krom of it.
Think I might have disturbed your Razorback camp on a rainy afternoon, came down to check out the camp site and didn't realise it was so tight... sorry, I was doing a reccy run before dragging our camper and family up there in the cooler months. I came in via Razorback track which is a great drive if you aren't towing, then went out via Cedarvale, stopping at The Wall overnight. I highly recommend checking out the Monal mining area and cemetery next time you are up there.
Yeah that's where we wanted to visit but just sat put waiting out the rain. We'll be back for sure. Where you in the Patrol?
Ohhh you had that awesome 200. That things mint
@@GoingOverland Yes that was me in the grey 200 series, haha thanks. I wish I had of recognised you, would have said g'day - love your vids and the way you all get involved, keep them coming ;-)
@@travelling_two cheers for the support, just doing then as a side project, keeps the mind off work stuff when at home. Definitely like a good chin wag with other 4wders
Great trip...did parts of it a few weeks ago. What's your camper? it looks like what I want to get next with a pop top and outside kitchen, rather than the windup we have.
Its a lifestyle breakaway 2plus. Made in Australia. Real offroad camper. Full ready to travel around Australia camper setup video uploaded later next week. Otherwise we have a video uploaded last year on the trailer. Best thing we ever bought.
There are no gold mining relics at Kroombit. They are mainly down around Monal etc.
You missed the track down to biloela, its a cracker
Is that a very rough road
Why why why do you let your tyres down just to go up there. It is such a simple drive.
To stop tyre damage, make the ride more comfortable and traction towing a 1600kg camper up the mountain. It's something we do any time we hit the dirt
@@GoingOverland Mountain? that is just a hill. please don't try and make a simple drive something exceptional. i have done all three tracks to Kroombit many times. None of them are daunting or troublesome.
@@sg3596 I did the back track from Cania Gorge in 2006, up to Bettsy, and let the tyres down to 24/28 for the trip, as I look after my Cooper Geolanders. At that time Bettsy was not very well signposted, and one way down and back, no loop via the Wall. The B-24 was not closed off, and some of the search grids done by the Yanks to identify body parts were still visible from when they were there in the mid 1990’s.
