I see some other people have commented, but I also will second that the Sleaford-Wanna track is the most adventurous part of the Lincoln National park and extremely beautiful. Whalers Way is also amazing, but mainly bumpy track.
Great video again Stefan. The bees are harmless but to get them out of your camp , you need to place a plate of water away from camp and that is what they want. Put a stick in it so they climb out. Next time you should do different parts of the Port Lincoln National Park. Memory Cove is one of the best campspots in SA - need to book it and get a key from the Port Lincoln Visitors Centre. Plenty of bees there too! And the Sleaford-Wanna 4WD track. The Razorfish are fantastic bait for the King George Whiting - usually grab hold of them from a boat in the shallow waters.
Stefan, the plant you queried at 11:00 mins is colloquially known to me as Old Man's Beard. I suspect what you are filming is Clematis microphylla, or perhaps C. aristata, but I find it hard to tell from a TH-cam clip. It is common in the coastal vegetation all the way down to Carpenters Rocks/Mt Gambier district in South Australia's South-East.
Hey Mate, unfortunately you missed Gunyah beach (Coffins) and also missed the sleaford to wanna day trip in lincoln. It's great sand driving and the entry comes off the bitumen and goes into epic sand dune driving and the salmon fishing there is some of the best in SA.
Awesome series Stefan, really love your videos. I also just did a trip over from Melbourne to the Eyre Peninsula just after new years. Was awesome (except it was about 35knot southerly every day all day and night). Echoing some comments below, the seaford to wawanna trip in Loncoln NP was great fun for the next time you head over that way. Whats the cargo/roof netting you use to store your sleeping stuff in the car? Cheers
Like you I have had nothing but problems with eotopo which shows all to very old tracks which nowadays are pretty much non existent. I now use Gaia and so far finding it great.
I find Gaia useless, for the travelling I do Eotopo are perfect I like to see old tracks even if sometimes they don’t exist anymore, we found the best spots following such tracks. I have a Gaia review up next week.
Here in the desert in the US where we have Rattlesnakes, a few poisonous spiders, scorpions etc. Or even any other place in the US with cottonmouths and copperheads we have a tendency to wear thick boots.
@@AlloffroadAu It just seems like you guys have so much dangerous stuff over there. More dangerous than we do and yet you guys take even less precautions than we do. If I ever come visit, ill be the one walking around in cowboy boots everywhere. lol
@@consaka1 lol yea we say Australia has everything poisonous you can imagine, from Octopus to spiders, to fish and snakes but while we walk around in flip flops we are cautious know the environment and have our eyes open in most cases wildlife lets you alone if you respect it.
The 4wding is at Wanna. Not only are the dunes awesome, they are some of the biggest. Mary Elise Wreck beach is simply stunning to drive out of the dunes onto. The only other thing worth seeing is the rugged coast at West Point. This is gated, so you need to organise the key through Parks. Looks like you missed the things worth seeing!🤦♂️
Hi Stephan. Really great series especially seeing I'm in S Australia and will most probably be visiting some of these places. Just a quick question. I believe national parks have made it illegal to fly a drone in the parks. How do you get past that problem and can the "ordinary" person maybe do the same? Just asking...
I hope the new awning doesn't have plastic hinge joints like the dreadful Foxwing design you used to use (which I still have but needed to re-engineer to overcome its fatal flaw). Another high quality video - well done. I like seeing the classic RR which shows that there's nothing wrong with using an older vehicle provided it's well maintained.
they, fortunately, have plastic hinges, I initially also like aluminium more however after losing the awning trough a Willy Willy in the Simpson Desert last year I really like the plastic hinges as they just broke and blew over and it was a 10-minute repair at home to replace the hinges and waning is in use again.
@@defendermodsandtravels yea definitely not the Supapeg the Willy Willy who broke my hinges picked up 80kg solar panels and flung them around like sheets of paper.
It’s a real shame that you didn’t do “Whalers way” it is a private park that you get the key from the PL information center, truly amazing compared with the other parks.
The places you wonted to go in the Coffin bay n,p were open not that many years ago ,our stupid government in SA are locking up all the good places unfortunately and it,s only getting worse ,but great videos thought.
I love your videos and South Australia has sone hidden gems .
Fantastic series Stefan. Thanks so much for your hard work in bringing these to us. We are all very grateful.
Glad you enjoy it!
I see some other people have commented, but I also will second that the Sleaford-Wanna track is the most adventurous part of the Lincoln National park and extremely beautiful. Whalers Way is also amazing, but mainly bumpy track.
thank you, yea did know that one when we where there otherwise we would have done that, a reason to come back.
ThankYou : )
Another great video of the series Stefan. Thanks for sharing the journey.
My pleasure!

Water was not the only driver, I had water on the jerry can holder but Dave one camp site down with zero water was still well frequented by the bees 🐝
First class series Stephan, I loved it. Thank you...
thanks Clive
Beautiful part of the world Stefan , nice series’s
i enjoyed the series Stephan , keep up the top vids and travel safe
Fantastic work Stefan!
Thank you! Cheers!

oh really? I thought I know old mens beard and it is much rougher and not so fine? But no expert there.
you probably right mate, thanks for that googled a few pics of Clematis microphylla and think that's it
@11:37 is the remainder of the wreck of the Sensation. The attempt to salvage it is a great story in itself.
Is it? Please tell me the story about it
Great video series mate. Keep up the great content
Thanks a ton!
We've had bees come while on sand, I put a cup of water 50-100m from camp and they all disappeared from our campsite 👍
Hey Mate, unfortunately you missed Gunyah beach (Coffins) and also missed the sleaford to wanna day trip in lincoln. It's great sand driving and the entry comes off the bitumen and goes into epic sand dune driving and the salmon fishing there is some of the best in SA.
Next time we noted them both down and I will be back this year.
Another great series Stefan! Still honing my skills to try to get to your level. Cheers Steve
Great series Stephan! Wow!.. those green hills at the end, were they part of Lincoln NP?
no Pichi Richi Pass close to Port Augusta
@@AlloffroadAu Cheers Stephan - beautifully filmed!
thank you very much

Sounds great! Cargo net is a left over from my Defender I think it was from MudUK

yea Australia is a little different many just wear flip flops..
after all its the home of Crocodile Dundee lol

Yes, I wish to know this too!
Do you use ExplorOz primarily? Do you also use oziexplorer?
Yes I do now, I’m on iOS so no Oziexplorer but looked in to it a while a go a bit cumbersome and outdated but I know has a lot of features

@@AlloffroadAu Yes but the hinges need a minimum strength level so they don't break if you sneeze unexpectedly which is where the Foxwing hinges are.

Oh thanks for the tip I will be back this year and make sure I check it out.
Indian paste I like that ❤️from india
I don't peg through the feet any more I've had the pole come out in winds best to just use guy rope
yes I also use the guy ropes unless it's a short stop and no wind
11:39 Ship Wreck

Yes sad must have been quite a few more great places there
