Vanlife South Australia

A recent trip to South Australia.
Exploring the Flinders Ranges, Mt Remarkable National Park, Coorong, Deep Creek National Park, and other places.
From wildlife and magnificent scenery. Great sunsets and sunrises.
Climbing St Mary Peak is the highest point in the Flinders Ranges.

WoW! such beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Your a lucky man to get to experience all that where you live but I feel fortunate that you share it for the rest of us! Thanks and great work. 🦘🌏😊

[@ChrisRishworth]

Absolutley stunning Chris, your best to date, brilliant camera work, fantastic video, amazing landscapes and sky. Your editing is top class mate, i love your music too. What more can i say except...Superlative !!!!!! Kevin.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thank you, Kevin. A bit of everything on this one. I was pruning Almond trees with a battery backpack and an electric chainsaw. Then I injured my back. I was aiming to do a few bike tours before I came back to Victoria. So I've ordered a -20 celsius sleeping bag. Should arrive tomorrow. Then in couple of weeks snow camping, riding. Cheers Chris.

Excellent filming Chris. Loved the Zebra Finches and the yellow foot wallabies. In fact all the animals you featured. Red breasted robin and the eagles.
I visited the Flinders Ranges in the early 1990s. Fantastic place. Weren't they formed by a huge meteor strike?
Like the Lauf fork on your bike.
ATB.

Thanks, Alex. It's a great place. They are folded mountains coming from the ocean floor originally. Converting my bike to a 29-inch wheelset as soon as I can afford it. Need to be back on the bike full-time. I went to South Australia to prune Almond trees with a chainsaw. But injured my back after 2 weeks. So back in Victoria for now. Cheers, Chris.

Awesome mate. Enjoying this very much.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks, Just got back from Mt Fainter on an overnight fat, snow tide. Editing now. Cheers Chris.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@user-yb8jt2tu1x]

Why are you so good!!. Brilliant, thank you. I am gonna one day come visit Australia

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks, Just got back from a day ride with lots of ice on the side of the track. Winter is here. I'll ride with you when you do. Cheers Chris.

[@markharwood]

Some fatnastic footage from the A1 there! You're close enough in age to me I'd say to have grown up with Storm Boy on the Coorong.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks, Mark. Yes I loved Storm boy as a kid.

[@Miekamarlo]

missed your videos good to see new one up was very nice

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks, I'm converting my bike to 29 inch wheels as soon as I can. Then selling the van and going fulltime on the bike. Probably take me sometime but has to be done. ( It will be done by next year.) Cheers Chris.

[@Miekamarlo]

@@ChrisRishworth Nice one hope you don't miss the van too much you put a lot of work into it, 29 inch rims slimmer tyres also ??

[@RJNumbat]

Chris, how long did it take for the Mary Peak summit circuit - I bet only 6 hours for you :) Did it way back in 1988 so brought back some great memories. You get some superb footage of the wildlife too, just fabulous !! Cheers, Richard

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks, Richard. I think it was about 6 hours. There were 3 guys who walked it in bare feet at the top when I got there. I've always ridden by on the Mawson trail, so was nice to climb it. Need to get back there on the bike for a month to really explore. Sometime ?.

“A young Emu crosses the road” …nearly became road kill.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Yes, I wanted to say to the driver slow down. It was close.

[@paulevans5455]

Wow, best video to date. What brand bike rack do you use? It looks really robust, I'm still hunting a second hand one. Last time I was in the Flinders was back in 2002 and loved every minute of it. Can't say the same for my Holden ute.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks, Not sure of the brand. I'll look in the day light tomorrow to see if theres a brand name. It's made for up to 5 inch tyres for the fat bike. The gravel roads were really dusty and corrugated.
