Jaw dropping cliff top campsite that left Graham SPEECHLESS… Esperance to Arnhem Land Pt1

- Off Grid is BACK and we’ve found Australia's ultimate campsite!
We are doing the ultimate Nullarbor road trip from the spectacular Esperance beaches with crazy soft sand 4WD recoveries to gnarly corrugations in the dry outback!
Have you done, or plan on doing the great Nullarbor road trip? Tell us about your trip & your touring setup!
The beaches of Esperance mark the start of the great Australian bite which we’ll follow as we take on the Nullabor, a 1,200km journey! For our trip, we take an old backtrack from Esperance to Israelite Bay where we discover some incredible hidden Aussie history. Then we head off to Balladonia Road House, to the incredible Buna Cliffs at the top of the Bite, then heading even further off grid to explore hidden cave systems on the Old Eyre Highway, and finally back to the coast at Fowlers Bay!

The off grid, spin off is a welcome change to the same old tracks every year! Love it!
I vote that Steph and Harley join the 4wd24-7 crew full time
Or even part time contributions
Agreed. Touring 4wd is just as amazing as the rock climbing
@@mysteriousways78 possibly better I reckon
The other boys love the tough tracks and climbs. MANY of us love the camping, deep off road. While a cute gal always spices things up, I do LOVE the idea of making Graham's off grid more regular, it's also something perfect for having frequent new guests. This couple is perfect though. They could and should easily turn this into their own channel.
No thanks - I tend to skip these episodes. Happy with more touring content, happy if they want to start a touring 24-7 channel. But the reason this content works is the dynamic between the current hosts and regular guests.
I am absolutely loving the Off Grid series. It's fantastic to have Graham hosting as the lead once again. A hark back to the old 4wd action series. Keep them coming
I wholeheartedly agree, the current trend in the type of content 4WD 24-7 releases regularly is pretty predictable, they take their cars, break them on big rock steps, fix them, cook a bit and repeat. What Graham does here is epic. Great editing, great hosting, completely different from episode to episode.
@@BuksSaayman yer I don't mind the hard stuff but I like a destination at the end.
Thanks mate, Graham is truly living his dream!
Cheers mate 🍻 There's something for everyone 🙌
This IS what it's all about... loving it Graham!!! 😍
@2:49 that's my farm, I was wondering what those vans were doing abandoned there haha
There's a new Balladonia track parallel to the old one you can see at @9:12 it's much easier to drive, I can sit on 70kph most of the way up
I'm glad you left out the homesteads, they need to remain hidden, they'll get vandalised too quick if everyone goes out there
The off grid series is the perfect partner to the hardcore tracks 4wd247 does. Can't get enough. Love seeing the lil dmax back in action aswell!
Man what an awesome channel! I just found you guys and I've been binge-watching most of the videos!
Yeah the off the grid series is sick
Can’t wait to check this place out with the boys!
My home town of Esperance ❤ the BEST beaches n 4wd tracks
This is the best of this channel. Thanks heaps for changing it up….I’m loving it!
Loving these off grid videos. Please find a way to keep doing them. A Canadian who has driven Canada coast to coast. Fantastic watching episodes of WA. Nice change from Cape York and the eastern side of Oz. Harley and Steph are a great addition.
Harley and Steph are a great addition to the off grid series. Graham your a bloody Legend.
really loving that it seems like 4WD 24-7 seems to be branching out .. Graham ( Steff & Harley as well ) doing the chilled out exploring .. Jock & Jessie doing the rock climbing technical stuff .. Shaun doing tough tracks .. all equally interesting , depending on what mood i'm in
oh and here in the UK .. if you drive something interesting / unusual it's standard to wave when you meet someone else driving something interesting / unusual ( bonus if it's the same make )
I just love the Off Grid series, amazing content and an epic team.
🥰
🙌🙌
Off Grid is the best part of 4wd24-7. Good to see you looking after Steph and Harley giving them the company D-Max to drive 👍🏼
What Jade G said
Nothing more Australian than the 2 finger salute as you pass a fellow countryman!
As a younger bloke, in my 2A Landrover, I loved nothing more than technical tough tracks and mud... but now... 30+ years later, these episodes, in my opinion, are some of the best content on this channel! Love love love this series!
I would love to see an old Landie joiing the farm trucks on this channel. I had an old 2A as well.
That has to be the best campsite in Australia 🇦🇺 and it’s good to see the old D-MAX back and the Y62 what an absolute beast now I want to go see that cliff top campsite 🏕 awesome job Graham 👍👍👍
Couldn't agree more mate!
Hell yeah! Now I’m not sleeping!
Used to live in Eucla. So this trip was right in my back yard. Incredibly underrated and must do experience for all.
Hopefully one day I can live these adventures.
Been out the Nullarbor many times longest being 6 weeks caving, its gods country, and thats the only way to describe it. Forget the black top and explore. Love the footage.
Driven across the nullabour 10 times… only the last time when I was 17 did we go off the highway… I’m not sure if it was the old eyre highway but we found a cavern so big it took 5-10mins to walk across. Incredible. I loved this episode, it brought back a lot of good memories from that trip.
G'day guys. I love these types of video. I have only one leg and am wheelchair bound at present. That being said I am working on fixing My situation. Once l have explored my and leg options, I would love to go out and experience these places
you'll be out there in no time! keep up the great attitude, you got this!
Absolutely enjoying so many of your adventures . Thank You Graham , Steph and Harley
Off grid is the 👌 best 🏞👍well done folk🍻
These off grid drives with Graham and the crew always have great sceneries. Those burgers looked great too 😂.
Steph is definitely a great personality - always enthusiastic and keen to get her hands dirty.
March last year we hiked Mt ragged and had the absolute honour to meet Roger at Deralinya homestead and he gave us a fantastic tour of his home, history and the restoration of the buildings in the area. He is a true treasure of the outback.
Drove across from Adelaide to Perth with the parents in December 1970 in their brand new HG Kingswood wagon. Camped out along the old Eyre highway. Such an adventure for a 9 year old! That started my passion for going bush, which I still have today.
Really enjoying Harley and Steph being part of the series, and was really impressed with Harley’s hearty stew……..and then I saw the socks being worn with sandals 😳😳. Harley Harley Harley.
Seriously, love you and Steph being part of it
Driving wave with 3 finger is my favourite way😍😍😍😍😍
Off Grid is the actual best thing since sliced bread!
I love it. My kind of youtube videos.
Love watching Graham and the new crew. I could watch Australian touring videos like these all the time. Keep them coming
On a side note. How about that camp-site!
Thank you for the chat on the plane today Graham, my boy loved the pic I took. Cheers.
Hi Graham , I have to say your video’s are a joy to watch .In the motorcycle adventure world Itchy Boots is the absolute best , you are the best I’ve watched in the 4wd adventure travels . I myself have been on bikes most of my life here in the US and the 17 years I lived in Austria, I just turned 67 and just picked up a 1981 Dodge Trans-Van . Basically a Dodge van with a fiberglass box in the rear . Wide enough so you can sleep across it’s width. It has a tunnel down the center so you can stand up . I have already picked up a manual shift bellhousing , sorry I just can not stand the auto tranny . And I all ready have a plan to convert it to 4X4 .I’m going with the devorced T-case route . It’s 360 V8 is already moved to the left 3” to clear all the 4X4 drivetrain . Well thanks mate again for the fantastic videos and safe travels for you and your friends . Oh check out Itchy Boots she is now in North Africa enjoy . Cheers
Vegimite on the burger .. YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! Bloody amazing .... As for the rest of the episode.. Another amazing episode ..Keep them coming.
Loving Off Grid, GC is definitely the best host. Steph and Harley are an awesome addition, just your everyday people joining in. Keep it coming 4wd 24/7 ❤
*crossed the Bore 10 times by road in my lifetime, never stopped, might go off track next time 🤙🏼
Been watching your series now for a few months, the new off grid series is exactly what I'm planning on doing here in the U.S.A. About to buy my camper, and finally getting the gladiator build off the ground. Keep up the cool series and thanks for the inspiration.
Went over the Nullabor when I was abt 7 (so long time ago lol), once I get a 4wd, it's on my 1st big trip. You may have convinced me to take detour. Absolutely love it.
Good to see the old Eyre highway, we moved to Perth in 74 from Adelaide, XW 6cyl Falcon, 21ft Millard caravan, Mum, Dad two brothers and sister, 1 month travel on that unsealed road doing 5 to 20mph all the way, blew 1 air shocker and lost all 4 hubcaps, the road was flooded due to aftermath of cyclone Tracy we were stuck in Ceduna for 4 weeks due to flooding, best time of my childhood.
@graham have you ever thought about making a travel book?
Places to see off-road in Australia 🇦🇺
Then a newbee or experienced driver could pick it up and plan a journey from it.
And yes, done the Nullarbor plenty of times, Bunda and Baxter cliffs are the most scenic places you can ever go. What you should do it the futiure is see Robyn Matthews at Maralinga and do a tour , absolutely unbelievable what we did to our country
Best ever, can’t wait for more “Off Grid” episodes.
Gotta love me fowler's bay
Been there with my big brother last 15 years, so epic.......
Love fowler's Bay.....😊
Steph is awesome! What an amazing woman, not only is she Gorgeous but amazing at driving back country as well! Great job!! Loving this 4wd247 show great places seen thus far! Thank you. Stay safe and God bless
I couldn't agree more
Bloody great episode i loved it..I have done both old and new road 2 times back in the 70.s the old road wins hands down more fun more to see..thankyou for doing this it brings back a lot of great memories ❤ you guys are great please do heaps more
We did the Nullarbor in 2019 at about 30-40km/h. My little brother rode his push bike from Optus Stadium in Perth to Unley oval in Adelaide to raise money and awareness for mental health and me in a car and dad in a rental camper van we’re the support vehicles. We slept in swags the whole 3 weeks and my brother slept in the camper….it was an amazing trip and I saw every metre of that trip drive watching and getting off the roads for trucks, cars and everything else bigger and faster than us! Amazing part of the country!
Also loved that bit about loving the EP but I hope you venture over to the Yorke Peninsula also!!
I reckon offgrid could support its own channel….it’s that good!!
This series is great! Educational and entertaining. Like modern day Malcom Douglas. Give us more of it!!!
Fowlers Bay is great, that whole section of coast, including down around Ceduna and Point Peter is next level.
Great stuff team!
One finger salute from me (not the middle one!)
Misso and I drove our Corolla with swags on top along Nullarbor. Swung off a side ride a couple of kms for the night to camp. Just far enough to avoid hearing cars. Was so lovely.
Graham, u just grow to an even bigger legend in my eye's mate. Caught a quick glimpse of the sheep dog in your fridge door on the cook segment . Awesome LOL had some great nights on that drop.
Great to see the Israelite Telegraph station get some coverage. A true gem. A lot more to see out there though! Thanks for a great episode 👏🏽
Always go with the two finger drivin wave. Very unastralian to not do it I reckon. Legendary show as always. Adding to my bucketlist as we speak.
Stayed at that spot on the Bight a year last April, on my way from Melbourne to Ningaloo (and the back) to watch the eclipse up in Exmouth. The stars staying at that spot, on both way there and back, just unbelievable!
Graham, I'm a Saffa, sadly not a rich one, so I've never been to your beautiful country. I must say, though. that one of my dream bucket list items is to do at least one of the adventures you guys at 4WD 24-7 have showcased, and I think this trip has just stolen my soul.
2 finger unless I know who's coming then it's a flash n salute to the extended fam... SA proud ✌
The Off Grid series is our Aussie version of Expedition Overland and im absolutley loving it!
Loving the content of this channel all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 💯🔥, hopefully I'll also get to live my dream, learn and do 4x4 activities
Love this series, best videos yet. Great inspiration to explore some places and camps I’ve never been to before.
Canadian here: love this series. The views, information bits along the way, I feel like I'm right there with them; it's perfection. Keep it up!🤙
This Off Grid Series is epic and so good too see some remote places.
Australia truly is a beautiful place.
Excellent again just love the Off Grid, nice to see Steph and Harley back .keep them coming.
Need more tags of the couple and people you go with !! They are always the best
What a campsite!! Adding it to the list!! Thanks for sharing.
From the Pacific Northwest, USA. Beautiful series, exciting as well.
Wow what a great trip. But can Graham really catch a Squid ????? Tune in for another exciting episode Will Graham get a Squid ? or will Graham get INKED ??
Ive only just found your channel and im looking to get into some proper car camping. What an absolute stunning country Australia is! Love this series.
Awesome video as always Graham. Australia is one amazing place can't wait to see it for myself one day.
Have you guys thought of doing a nz tour
Thompsons Track needs to be conquered by these lads!
What an incredible trip you’re on Mr. Cahill! Just spectacular!
And that two finger wave you toss up to oncoming traffic….in the USA, that’s called the “Jeep Wave” 😂😂
I can't believe you guys finally went down towards Ceduna, it's my home town and it's an incredible place. And I comment on so many videos you should head south through the Davenport Creek sand hills
Always give the 🤙🏽 when driving keep it aloha
Hi Graham , love your travels especially where this video is taking us . Thought you may like to know that we first drove the Nullarbor in 1972 in a GTR Torana from Darwin to Perth via Port Augusta .Gravel from Alice to Pt Augusta and of course the gravel across to WA . We drove it again in 1974 from WA to Ceduna and down to Streaky Bay in a Cortina station wagon and back to Perth . our favourite stop was Ivey Tanks where we had the best bacon burger ever . We have travelled the bitumen over 18 times since and are about to head back again across the Nullarbor home to Perth . Probably the 21st crossing having seen and done many tracks and interesting sites like caves and stations and of course , the cliffs .
Great vid guys again, loving this series. oh im a 1 finger waver usually with the finger print forward.
Hi guys another awesome video you asked if we have ever did the Nullarbor I have done it 4 times twice a kid when it was still dirt and twice as a young fella on the tar back in the old days there were water tanks every 50 miles and a service station 100 miles or so and the wildlife roos rabbits wombats emus was a great time ppl travel way to fast now and I really think they are missing out.
These off-grid videos are bloody fantastic ..... this is my style going off-road
The burgers looked like a bloody good mess but oh so delishious hahhahaha! and....Bunda Cliffs look fkn too scary for me to even get close to them! lol
I've crossed the Nullarbor 9 times and sadly have never done the old Eyre Hwy. However I commence the Big lap in June and I plan to do it this time around after seeing this.
I have stayed at/right near the same camp grounds on the bite at the heads as you all did.. truly spectacular. I WILL be staying there again when I go back through there.
Fowlers Bay is a fisherman’s paradise. Scott’s Beach and Mexican’s Hat never disappoints
The "Not Nullaboring Burgers" and Harley's Stroganoff looked amazing! Long distance travelling doesn't have to mean dodgy servo sausage rolls or pies. One trip across from SA to WA we stopped at the cliffs and cooked steak with creamy bacon and mushroom sauce with fresh vegetables and mash, it was one of the best feeds I've ever eaten. The view while eating was amazing too.
Inspiring stuff guys. Some of the best scenery I’ve seen on 4WD/27. Top shelf bucket list stuff.
Another epic journey had by you guys! Loving the series!
I don't know about anyone else but I think it's good to see the camera car getting in to it and appearing in the occasional frame as well!?
Also ....... I think Steph and Harley should get full time gigs on the channel - even when this series is finished!
They have become quite the hosts and have become very comfortable in front of the camera!
(Must have had a good teacher! 😂)
Maybe get them doing the hard stuff with the rest of the gang or doing their own thing traveling around showing Australia's beaches, national parks and everything in between?
That's my opinion anyway 👍
I was super excited when I saw the Patrol parked up at the cliff with the rest of the rigs lol
Sending my regards from Miami, FL. Love the show 🫡
Proud subscriber since 2019
Just watched this episode and just recently did the old Eyre Highway from Koonalda to Border Village. An awesome trip with SO many things to stop and look at! Will have to do the Eastern side of Koonalda next time. Shame you missed the ruins off the Balladonia track, they are amazing!! Love your work 🤩
That sounds like a real adventure mate, and we'll have to check out the ruins when we're coming back through 🙌
The funny thing with people waving on the road is the further out from the major cities you get the less people wave. We did 4 weeks in a roof top tent from SEQ to Uluru and back. The more Central QLD we got, the less people waved and the less I bothered waving haha.
Usually alot of others in roof tops would wave but most caravaners didn't wave. I'm assuming 2 things. The caravaners are probably full time travellers so get sick of waving after a while. Or they're too concentrated and not worrying about if the on coming vehicle is gonna wave back as it could be hazardous. After a while of people not waving back i could feel myself focusing more on the on coming driver to see if they would wave back which takes your focus off the road in front of you. Which is why I stopped waving and just focused in where I was driving.
It's like my driving instructor said many years ago when I was learning. Don't look at the pretty girl on the side of the road, you'll run her over, look where you want to drive. 🤣
Great Episode Graham. Did that exact route with my parents 20 years ago when they were touring Australia Cape le grand, Balladonia, Cocklebiddy…. and so on to Ceduna. memorable road trip! ❤
These episodes are great. Really love seeing your beautiful country, and Harley and Steph bring some fun energy to the show.
Absolutely beautiful cliff side! You folks are truly blessed with natural beauty... Even if everything is trying to kill you.
Ohhh boy BIG LOVE FROM 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹.... I SO LOVE THESE OFF-GRID EPISODES... SUCH SPECTACULAR SCENERY... I CANT WAIT TO COME TO AUSTRALIA TO START TOURING AROUND .. .PS. (IN TRINBAGONIAN ACCENT) "WAAAH !! DAT EGG HACK WAS REEAL BAD!!" ( THE WORD "BAD" THERE MEANS GOOD IN A MIND BLOWING WAY)... CANT WAIT TO GET A SHOUT OUT
We remember doing the old Eyre highway a few times, the bulldust was crazy, did it in a Kombi about 1975, had to sleep on an angle as the old girl vapourlocked and wouldn't start until it cooled down 😁. Was such an adventure though, had to carry cash as no eftpos back then...
Loving the trip. Living the dream.
I must say I’m with you Graham, two fingers dose me.
Amazing stuff, will definitely have to complete myself. 👍
We have done the Nullabor many times and its always an adventure. Best part is camping in the bush, and having an outdoor hot shower under the stars. Amazing part of our awesome country!
Sounds like the dream mate, make sure you're keeping watch for those critters during your outdoor shower 😅
Excellent video! Thank you.
Lovely Ep Lady and gents, I did the NB in 1988 in a bus never got to stop, Love to camp on it one day. Always one finger for me
GUYS the click bait captions getting carried away! Never ever seen an Aussie speechless!
I love the Bunda cliffs coastal stops. Went through there in November last year. Sadly wasnt setup for off grid camping however next trip I am absolutely camping on the coast.
Thanks Graham, loving these off grid episodes...
Australia doesn't get much better than this!! Any day 4WD 24/7 uploads is a great day 🤙
Love watching all your videos, keep up the great stuff!
Love the sound of your V8.
This is awesome, well enjoyed and makes me want to go east for a change! In WA i Found you got to get past Geraldton in the north for people to wave and down to the south coast before people wave back! Your right, it is unaustralian Graham.
Great to see Off Grid back.
