I don't think many people understand how much effort goes in to creating solo episodes, let alone footage and commentary as capturing as this. Graham you bugger, I love this show!
Totally agree about having your sense of place. I have always found my spiritual home to be among clear mountain streams and tall timbers. This place is up in the Victorian high country but since commencing travel full time l am now discovering other places too where this feeling occurs too. Maybe my sense of place really lies within, it's where l feel at peace and it certainly ain't in in any city! It's amongst nature, Aussie bush and waterways. It's being in the middle of a bush camp looking up at a clear night sky with no noise apart from nature. There's no place like it.
These don't come often enough. I understand that a LOT of work goes into them, but I could watch these every day. Love your manner Graham - relatable, enjoyable, informative.....
Bloody graham, Aussie icon, true bush bloke who has a legitimate passion for what he does, i absolutely love watching his work. It feels genuine and he is such a talent when it comes to being in front of the camera showcasing Australia and the 4wd lifestyle. For me personally, he is a huge inspiration because he doesnt care, he just wants to be in the bush, a simple wholesome life that i relate to. Love your work mate 👍
Moved to Australia back in 2012. Before then I grew up in America, moved around a lot as a child, joined the military, deployed and was stationed/posted at a few different places around the world and the US. Never had a long term place to be. I finally found it, that feeling of home, when I met my wife and started a life here in Australia. Then I lost it when she died of cancer just after her 40th birthday almost 2 years ago. Now I just feel 'homesick' all the time because she was my home, my place to be. Thank you for sharing your travels, the videos are always great.
Similar here ol son. Its a hard journey. I chose to stay single and have never looked back. Living an uncomplicated life is the best so man take the plunge and live life again, absolutely worth it.
I gave a small sigh of relief when you pulled up and switched off the motor. I know what you mean Graham. Even though I was just returning to Sydney, from Cape York, via Birdsville. Drove straight past my home in the inner east of Sydney and went to South Maroubra, where I grew up, and parked up. Then walked out to the end of the southern headland of the bay, Sat there for quite some time, a smile on my face, just watching the sky and sea. That's my favorite place on the planet to contemplate my belly button.. You have an amazing backyard over there... Next May, I'm heading over to W.A and spend a few months off road, seeing the sights and, um, not catching a fish at that bridge.
Thanks Graham for sharing your special part of WA with us. In regard to toilet paper disposal, after burying the waste , we put the toilet paper into a paper bag which can then be burnt in the campfire. Your efforts in gently reminding us all to do the right thing when camping are greatly appreciated. Thanks again, cheers Your
@@4WD247 Another awesome video. Any chance you could let us know where to find the waypoints for legs 2-5? The link on 4WDWA’s internet page does not seem to work and other sources (e.g., Exploroz) cover the MundAl (leg 1) only.
@@svenfokkema3440if you’re still after them, hit me up. I Got the full loop. We started MundAl recently as a last minute decision but from Albany. Ran out of weekend so will do the rest soon.
Love what you said about 'sense of place'. In NZ, Maori language explains it as Tūrangawaewae. It is often translated as 'a place to stand'. Tūrangawaewae are places where we feel especially empowered, safe and connected. They are our foundation, our place in the world, our home. There is no 'ownership' of land associated to this idea. It is just where you 'feel right'. To my husband and I, that is Elliot Bay in Northland NZ, and Pokaka in Central NZ. Awesome video. Keep doing what you do!
I’m English, moved out here 14 years ago. Traveled a lot of Australia and love it all. But always feel very connected and calm when I’m in the south west of WA. Sense of place mate.
I don't think there are words to describe how excited I am when I see there's a new AuSolo episode. Hands down one of my favourite series between this channel and EcoMuse.
I know exactly what you mean about the sense of connection with a particular place. I live in the High Desert of California. Just recently a wild fire started in the Mojave preserve and has been devastating to one of my favorite places, the New York Mountains, and in particular, Caruthers Canyon. My wife and I just camped there in May. It's heartbreaking thinking of what we have lost. Maybe in September, we will be able to get back into Caruthers Canyon. Unfortunately, it will probably bring me to tears. You are a very fortunate man, Graham. Keep smiling and enjoying the beauty of nature.
Great 🤠👍 you know what it is about to hear "the sound of silence". Nice Video without overkill style like to many today ! Thank you greetings from Scandinavia.
Graham really found himself with these overlanding trips, somehow he feels more like himself in these shows then other type of the shows…my dream is to come to AUS for a year one day in my 4x4 to go through whole thing! Love it Graham, bring it more!
Graham, Ive just returned to Kings Canyon for the third time, I've been a ranger here in the NT for over 20 years and have tried to retire twice but here I am....sense of place? The Red Centre will always have my heart.
Yeah connection to country. I spend a lot of time around Maitland & Morpeth in NSW & have done for many years. They just feel like the right places for me to be. I was aware of a family connection to the district both those towns are in through research my old dad had done. When dad passed away last year I started going through his notes & I found out that my great great great grandparents farmed in the Maitland district back in the 1850s - 1860s. In fact it's quite likely their first child - who passed away as a small boy - is buried close by around the Bolwarra area. I had no idea about this until I started going through dad's work. So now that I know this part of my family history does it explain why I feel so at home in those places? Well make of all that what you will, but to my mind it's yep. Absolutely. Cheers mate.
You may have done this trip solo, but you took me alone with you and today I needed it. Didn't know that I did, I just had you on to keep me company while I pack up my life and start something new... you were talking about a sense of place, belonging to somewhere, and that kinda made me stop what I was doing and be there with you in that thought and that feeling. I've been incredibly lost in a space I know but don't connect with. I've let other things takeover my need to feel, properly feel. Thank you for making me stop, listen and be for a minute, making me think of where I belong and how I get myself back there... I've adored watching you for the funnies, but this was different and felt very personal. Thanks again Graham ❤
With you on the SW Graham, was hatched near the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere but unfortunately left 10 yrs later. Kept returning until recently when I moved overseas on retirement. Used to grade the logging roads out near the blackwood River for some years, then moved to Kalamunda working in earthmoving and blasting from 1969 to 1975, then moving all over Straya working at anything till retirement. Still would love to be back in the wonderful South West!!!
Graham you’re a born presenter mate, absolutely love the Aus solo episodes. There’s no fluff, no bullshit, no hit and hope driving…just good clean entertainment and information. Thank you graham.
After 3.5 years in Australia I returned to England and had that feeling of a sense of place once I was back in Derbyshire. I love Australia but this is home.
Originally from Germany, live since 7 years in New Zealand but traveling through Australia 2008/09 just hit something in me that I will never forget and I always dreamed off returning too. My favorite region would definitely be SW Australia. The perfect mix for me. Thanks Graham for showing the beauty of that stunning country you call home. Absolutely enjoy watching every episode. Keep up the awesome work team!
Love seeing AUSolo back Graham. If you're ever back in the US come to Michigan and I'll show you some campsites you'll fall in love with and even some fish you can catch!
I have my sense of place when I get up north, I love the red dirt and the aqua oceans. Nothing quite compares for me and it keeps drawing me back. Our south west is magic too but its not quite the same, so I understand the feeling you are talking about when you say sense of place.
As a citizen of the USA; I love watching Aussies like Graham just shoving along enjoying the outback off-roads. If there’s ever another world war; I want the Aussies fighting alongside us from the USA and our European Allies.
YES ! Sense of place absolutely. My husband and I lived on the Darling downs in the brigalow country. We moved to Rockhampton 30 years ago. As soon as we hit the brigalow country heading down to Chinchilla we get a ‘feeling’ . It’s home. A sense of place indeed
I feel at peace when on the mighty Murray River. Just me my partner and our 2 boys. Anyway, just along the River. I sit there in the mornings with my boys and we just watch and listen. Love the show mate. We will be planning a big trip soon as unfortunately I have to sell my business for health reasons. So we want to travel with our boys before I can't keep doing this stuff.
Migrated to Oz nearly 40 years ago when I was a teen ager. I truly understand what you mean when you "know your sense of place" It's the red soil outback that gets into your blood or just the high country tracks or just the air we breath out there. There's nothing like it any where else in the world. The trips you are doing keeps me looking to go out to see more. Well done on AuSolo and Off Grid.
I was raised in Kalamunda and lived on Mundaring Rd, Mundaring power line track was Dads fav place for firewood. Don't know how many times we travelled that track in his mini minor van
Totally agree with you Graham, I feel a sense of home in the SA desert. Friends don’t understand why I don’t like the coast, I do. But the desert is home, especially when I am at my favourite Big Morro Gorge. A secret spot not many would know as it was removed from most maps.
Iˋm from Switzerland and have been 5 Times to Australia and it has always seemed as my place home. You live in a great country with stunning land sites and Graham manages to bring over his love for this country in a wonderful way. Thank you for letting me have part of it.
I always have a sense of being home every time I fly back to Australia after working overseas. I guess you just dont realise what we have here until you come home and smell that air as soon as you walk out of the terminal. Sitting on a deserted Perth beach early in the morning is something so special to me. We do indeed live in a beautiful spiritual place.
I am a fan from Canada. Bells went off when you mentioned "A sense of Place". This June and July to explored the backroads from Buffalo Point in SE Manitoba to Waterton National Park in SW Alberta. About 2000 Kms. from end to end. I was following and exploring the "Medicine Line" as the 49th Parallel is called out here. I was tracing the route taken by the International boundary Commission in 1873-74 and the North West Mounted Police in 1874. As I said, I was exploring. But I grew up in Southern Alberta and live for almost thirty years just outside Waterton National Park. There came a point when the exploring stopped. I knew these backroads and where each one of them came from and where they went. After all, these were MY roads. I was HOME. Although I no longer live there, my wife retired me to the far side of the country, I knew that 'sense of place' just as you describe Graham. The down side was that while the place was the same, life there had carried on just fine without me. I felt like a ghost driving up and down my old haunts. The only thing missing was me.
I’m so glad this series is back. It has been one of my favorites. The plane that always calls me back is the Rocky Mountains though New Mexico/Colorado and the Big Bend region of West Texas
Sense of place, love that concept, Graham you are a legend. Though I explored WA for 8 years, sense of place brought me back to the Sunshine Coast and the islands of Qld. Just the best ever and so nearby.
I have a spinal injury so realistically can't do trips that take several days and negotiate Bush camps anymore. I had a very active outdoors life before my injury and miss this kind of trip so I really enjoy your videos it let's me experience things that I can't do in person any more. Thanks mate keep doing what you do.
I've just finished this episode. You have a way of wording things, and a passion that just oozes through the camera. It's infectious and beautiful to watch. 🍻
Very nice tour you have here. I have two brother in laws and a sister in law who live in Geelong & Melbourne. That Southeast area looks beautiful. I wish I could get my truck down there and travel those roads.
Lv your enthusiasm ..you do a good show .. . Planning to shift my ute nz to oz cant wait .adventure times . Those places that makes you feel 👍 👍 nz a special cove .i stiĺ want my final dump spot in the end . ..but 60 yrs time to find something else
Graham, you have no idea how much I've missed these videos. Au Solo is the best thing anyone in Oz-land has come out with in YEARS. You really need to make, or take, more time away from the business side of things and spend more time doing things like this. I'm blessed to live in the American Pacific Northwest with some of the best back country travel in the world, but WA still blows me away every time I follow you out there. Cheers mate!
Loving these AUSSOLO and off grid episodes! I guess my place where I feel at home would be Yass, to the Victorian High Country.. I spent a lot of time as a kid on a farm out the back of Yass and followed that up by a lot of camping and exploring through the snowy’s and VHC.. although when I was much younger we did a 3 month tour of the country. Did the whole WA coast from Wyndham down to Geraldton, steep point along the way. then across the canning stock route! Back to Alice Springs. I’ll always remember that trip!!
This was a pleasant surprise mid week! It's better than watching car build or advice videos. I have felt at home in the Colorado rockies for the past 50 years. Nothing like it to me😊
Stunning part of the world. Been lucky enough to be have been in Colorado any times in the Rockies. Also been down to SW Western Australia. The Karri and Jarrah forests are unique and beautiful. The lesson here is to travel. If we all travelled a little more we would understand each other far better and there would be less trouble in the world.
Glad to see your GU back out there. The place here in New Zealand that resonates with me the most is the South Island, in particular Southland. Spent a lot of my childhood down there in a little town called Mossburn that I long to return too now that I'm old enough to appreciate it!
Another great video from GC. No disrespect to the rest of the 4WD 24-7 crew, but Graham's shows are just brill, off road driving showing you what's out there, especially in WA. Thanks for posting.
Have to agree with ya. We have had a magic spot (dead mare's pool) we have been going for over 20 years and that is our grounding place so to speak, it like ahhhhh down side now is new roads built, more people arrive rubbish is left behind etc but still to us its still that place where you settle
I think this channel has really hit its stride. It shows the beauty of y'alls country, but from different emphasis. The young guys beating their rigs on the hardest tracks they can find, the tough tracks with friends which is the majority of the content which your advertisers participate in and Grahams epic adventures ( both with and without campers) showing the need of 4wd, but not beating on them. I hope Shaun comes with Graham on a few of this epic tours and catches a few fish. Love what y'all are doing!
Cool to see you in Perth. I'm also in Perth in the mindarie area. I love the hills and I spend any amount of time I can over there. I love taking my rc crawlers to the serpentine falls and doing some crawling and creek crossings. The hills truly are a magical area.
Graham you’re awesome I’m a Perth hills boy always have been always will be Definitely team Nissan Please keep uploading video’s Ausolo 4wd247 even ecomuse
Graham I farm that pine plantation on the corner of boyup brook north road and I run 2000 dorper ewes there it’s amazing that it looks like just a plantation but agriculture is hidden amongst the trees 👍
AuSolo! Love it - these were great when you were putting these out back in the day. It may be another half a lifetime before I can get to AUS to go touring, so it's great I can come along with you on your travels.
Absolutely love the way graham presents any of his shows and it is his sense of humour that catches me and he kind of reminds me a little bit of an old presenter and bush advocate Mr "Roothy
Thank you for this...hope you get to do the whole lot...it was great fun setting it up for the WA 4wd Association...and yes I did most of it solo...the names took 1 campfire and 6 Asahi beers.
Superb as always. Nothng quite as good as showcasing W.A. and our fantastic attractions. My sense of place isn't in the south west though, it is up in the Pilbara. I have spent more time camping there than anywhere else and it is my spiritland. Fun fact, the Muja power station in Collie was named after the Aussie Christmas tree :)
I live in Kwinana born in Rockingham but the place im most drawn to and and at peace in is anywhere from Busselton to Manjimup through to Denmark/Walpole. Lived in Perup and Manjimup for many years before going to Tasmania for 10 years and drawn back to south west WA

God I love AuSolo. Thanks for doing all of it!
Everyone can do this but I understand work is not play. play ant work like having kids is it a job or is it parenthood
I could watch this for hrs and hrs

Sense of place, love that concept, Graham you are a legend. Though I explored WA for 8 years, sense of place brought me back to the Sunshine Coast and the islands of Qld. Just the best ever and so nearby.
I have a spinal injury so realistically can't do trips that take several days and negotiate Bush camps anymore. I had a very active outdoors life before my injury and miss this kind of trip so I really enjoy your videos it let's me experience things that I can't do in person any more. Thanks mate keep doing what you do.
I've just finished this episode. You have a way of wording things, and a passion that just oozes through the camera. It's infectious and beautiful to watch. 🍻
Very nice tour you have here. I have two brother in laws and a sister in law who live in Geelong & Melbourne. That Southeast area looks beautiful. I wish I could get my truck down there and travel those roads.
This was great thank you. Good to show the one of the foundations that built the 4WD247 brand
10/10 fun episode. Amped for the rest of the trip.
I love these Ausolo Episodes. There's something humbling about them
Good video Graham top video👍👍👍👍👍 cheers mate
Lv your enthusiasm ..you do a good show .. . Planning to shift my ute nz to oz cant wait .adventure times . Those places that makes you feel 👍 👍 nz a special cove .i stiĺ want my final dump spot in the end . ..but 60 yrs time to find something else
Great vid mate I’m feeling at home anywhere between savage river and trial harbour that’s my happy place you know it too epic place
Awesome work Graham.!!
Graham, you have no idea how much I've missed these videos. Au Solo is the best thing anyone in Oz-land has come out with in YEARS. You really need to make, or take, more time away from the business side of things and spend more time doing things like this. I'm blessed to live in the American Pacific Northwest with some of the best back country travel in the world, but WA still blows me away every time I follow you out there. Cheers mate!
I hope to do a lot more!!
I dont care what Shauno thinks of you mate, i reckon you're a bloody legend
Cant wait for the next solo adventure
Awesome video as always Graham. I always enjoy watching your series.
Man! That was an awesome episode! Thankyou :) keep up the great work
Loving these AUSSOLO and off grid episodes! I guess my place where I feel at home would be Yass, to the Victorian High Country.. I spent a lot of time as a kid on a farm out the back of Yass and followed that up by a lot of camping and exploring through the snowy’s and VHC.. although when I was much younger we did a 3 month tour of the country. Did the whole WA coast from Wyndham down to Geraldton, steep point along the way. then across the canning stock route! Back to Alice Springs. I’ll always remember that trip!!
Can’t wait for the next 4!
This was a pleasant surprise mid week! It's better than watching car build or advice videos.
I have felt at home in the Colorado rockies for the past 50 years. Nothing like it to me😊
Stunning part of the world. Been lucky enough to be have been in Colorado any times in the Rockies. Also been down to SW Western Australia. The Karri and Jarrah forests are unique and beautiful. The lesson here is to travel. If we all travelled a little more we would understand each other far better and there would be less trouble in the world.
I simply love these AuSolo episodes
Awesome video. My sense of place, being South African, is definitely the bush and more specifically, the Kruger National Park.
This is what i love to see, feels like Malcolm douglas but newer
Glad to see your GU back out there. The place here in New Zealand that resonates with me the most is the South Island, in particular Southland. Spent a lot of my childhood down there in a little town called Mossburn that I long to return too now that I'm old enough to appreciate it!
Big love from 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹.... I missed these solos 🎉🎉🎉
Another great video from GC. No disrespect to the rest of the 4WD 24-7 crew, but Graham's shows are just brill, off road driving showing you what's out there, especially in WA. Thanks for posting.
I live here nearly all my life doesn't matter where you go even back to place you were born but no where better then home thank you australia
If you read this, you're a big inspiration Graham you and the lads constantly make my days better, my entire family and I grew up in mundaring!
Thanks mate
Have to agree with ya. We have had a magic spot (dead mare's pool) we have been going for over 20 years and that is our grounding place so to speak, it like ahhhhh down side now is new roads built, more people arrive rubbish is left behind etc but still to us its still that place where you settle
Graham best ever you are a legend
Sense of place for me is the Flinders range SA.
I feel that in my heart- in my soul. Im in chime with the earth
I think this channel has really hit its stride. It shows the beauty of y'alls country, but from different emphasis. The young guys beating their rigs on the hardest tracks they can find, the tough tracks with friends which is the majority of the content which your advertisers participate in and Grahams epic adventures ( both with and without campers) showing the need of 4wd, but not beating on them. I hope Shaun comes with Graham on a few of this epic tours and catches a few fish. Love what y'all are doing!
Great video Graham, south west is where its at!
AuSolo is by far my favourite thing on this channel. Love it!
Cool to see you in Perth. I'm also in Perth in the mindarie area. I love the hills and I spend any amount of time I can over there. I love taking my rc crawlers to the serpentine falls and doing some crawling and creek crossings. The hills truly are a magical area.
Keep the AuSolo videos coming!
Graham you’re awesome I’m a Perth hills boy always have been always will be
Definitely team Nissan
Please keep uploading video’s Ausolo 4wd247 even ecomuse
Graham I farm that pine plantation on the corner of boyup brook north road and I run 2000 dorper ewes there it’s amazing that it looks like just a plantation but agriculture is hidden amongst the trees 👍
AuSolo! Love it - these were great when you were putting these out back in the day. It may be another half a lifetime before I can get to AUS to go touring, so it's great I can come along with you on your travels.
Thanks Graham awesome stuff have wondered what happened to AuSolo, good to see you back
Bloody awesome mate
Absolutely love the way graham presents any of his shows and it is his sense of humour that catches me and he kind of reminds me a little bit of an old presenter and bush advocate Mr "Roothy
Love these shows Graham. The history, scenerycand cinematography- bloody marvellous. Makes this old girl feel back at home
Awesome once again Graham! I really enjoy your AusSolo episodes, keep them coming!
Absolutely have one, Kwazulu Natal in South Africa, although live in Perth, that’s where I feel I’m truly home and belong
Thank you for this...hope you get to do the whole lot...it was great fun setting it up for the WA 4wd Association...and yes I did most of it solo...the names took 1 campfire and 6 Asahi beers.
Awesome. Thanks so much for putting it together. Quality professional content.
Superb as always. Nothng quite as good as showcasing W.A. and our fantastic attractions. My sense of place isn't in the south west though, it is up in the Pilbara. I have spent more time camping there than anywhere else and it is my spiritland. Fun fact, the Muja power station in Collie was named after the Aussie Christmas tree :)
AUS SOLO IS BACK, No better words have been spoken!!!! 🤙👍🤙👍🤙
I live in Kwinana born in Rockingham but the place im most drawn to and and at peace in is anywhere from Busselton to Manjimup through to Denmark/Walpole. Lived in Perup and Manjimup for many years before going to Tasmania for 10 years and drawn back to south west WA
My fav 4wd/24-7 bloke, great vid with awesome info. Home feels when I head over the Ingham range heading north on the east coast. Love the NQ. Cheers
Really well done! Lookin' forward to the next ones
