This is the Channel where I record all sorts of things I get up to in retirement. Well that was what it was going to be about. However, COVID put an end to a lot of our plans and I am now back at work as Vice Chancellor of Charles Darwin University in the Northern Territory of Australia. So now the channel is to record what I get up to while still holding down a job.
Why Chinookflyer? Well I am a pilot and the first aircraft I ever owned was a Chinook ultralight. A very slow Canadian ultralight.

Fabulous Scott. Thank you 👏👏👏
Love this. Great trip 👏👏😘
The map of the trip so far looked more like via Brisbane than Adelaide Scott?
Yep looks like we moved Adelaide
fantastic - what software are you using for this?
Looks amazing! Where did you buy the aluminum cases?
LOL
It's nearly 30 years since I was in India last, and either it's changed dramatically, or you weren't really there - I didn't see a single cow in your video! 🤣
I cruised to Alaska on Holland America 5 times. Wonderful vacations!
Team SA is waiting ! #Cdu #darwin #sydney
George is so versatile
Wow - great trip. I was looking at working in Nhulunbuy some years ago. Didn't eventuate but I'm left wondering what it's like. To visit in this way would be a dream of mine! Thanks for sharing mate and cheers from Sydney - Dave (had my early days in Papunya and Warrabri - so have some red dirt in my DNA too).
Did you have receptacles for your flood lights? Are did run your own wires? I like your bike gonna get me one next Nov.
Inspiring video of your ride Mr Bowman. Do you need permits to go to Nhulunbuy?
Too many plastic lights? They create a beautiful atmosphere at night. This includes some red and white lights for Valentine’s Day where people propose. Then there is of course the Xmas holidays. Google for pics or look on their website where they sometime post some. It just makes it magical at night year round. 🇨🇦
Going to Alaska mid October I hope we get as beautiful memories as you did. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, long travels....Glad you enjoyed !
Beautiful video, you created fantastic memories. Thank you for sharing.
Great video, show cases how lovely the Alice Springs campus is!
From Melbourne. We were on the Norwegian Jewel. April to May 2024. We loved Alaska as well.
I live 100 kms east of Vancouver. Loo me up sometime if you back this way.
Minor correction: after the crab expedition, the city labeled as Ketchikan was actually Juneau. Great video !
Thanks for the info!
THYANKYOU. ..I'm going to alaska in Sept 24... and your video helped
Emotional video watching the beauty God created!
We must been on the cruise before you because when we left Vancouver it was pouring rain. Nice video. Long flight from Australia.
I loved your video! Thanks so much for putting in the time and sharing it with the world, great job. I’m off to Vancouver in a few weeks on a cruise to Alaska with the same excursions booked ❤
I think you will love it. I guess you are going Cunard - if so a great company. We did not think we would like it - but we love it.
No - celebrity. It’s a repositioning cruise moving the ship from Europe to Caribbean at end of season. Still got full services entertainment etc but only 2 ports over 12 days sailing. If we like it, might do transpacific back to Aus at some point.
Great video - looks like fun. Cruising has never really appealed but we’re giving it a go later this year. We’re jumping in at the deep end, transatlantic from Southampton - Florida 😀 Can def see the advantage of cruising to see places like Alaska
Dork
Nice video. Been looking forward to get back out there!
Nice job mate! Cool vid :)
Instead of a go pro mount on the bike, get one for your helmet. View is much better
I rode those when i was a lad in the 80s i taught all my sons to ride those tracks when they were young they are all 30+ these days enjoy old son.....MR.G
Yeah might wait til those tracks dry up before i check it out. Dont want to drown my versys!
You definitely won't regret it! Awesome bikes! :)
I was waiting for a croc to come tearing out from behind some of those grasses on the track. Great video.
Great vid! Subbed, I have a WR250R and have a few rides on my channel as well 😀
Lose the road tires before you lose your ability to walk and enjoy riding. Possibly something like a Rall z motoz in a 150 rear or even narrower and their dual venture front. The AT1000 only runs a 150 rear. that big road tire will just try to kill you in the dirt and the front might as well be a slick. maybe CDU staff and hangers on should do a fink trip one year !
Reminds me of Vietnam - such hospitality...makes you feel/look like a rockstar!
Amazing ❤
nice bike but bike with 130 and 150 mm suspension travel it's not off road bike.
Great video but I think you mean Stuart Highway. (Sturt Hwy is between Adelaide and Sydney!)
You're right!
Great video!!
Neato, i make a brief cameo haha
Was that you passing me?
Nah, big fella In the car park @@Chinookflyer1
this is my Roman Empire
Thanks Sean. I have looked at the Rally Raid suspension - I don’t think they have it in stock for my year of 500x at the moment. I will put some more aggressive tires on in the dry season. I will take a look at the Mitas EO7+. Thanks again.
They seem to have stock now. And it's on sale.
Some good mods their mate. But if you really want to make it a superb off-road MC, look into kiting it out with "Rally Raid" suspension, and a set of Mitas EO7+ tires.
Nice.
Thanks!
Looks like a great ride. EDM was a nice touch.
Thanks.
Nice video..I subscribed
Thanks Brenda you are one of the first
Nice one Scott - I’ve been thinking about vlogging when we resume our travels in the new year. I’ve been put off by the amount of time needed for editing. How did you find it?
Hi Andy Merry Christmas. I tried a couple of editing programs and found them way too complicated. I am using iMovie on the iPad. It is very easy to use and free. If I progress I will get something more capable for the PC. But you can do a lot on iMovie. I have been using the iPhone - but have just purchased a couple of GoPros and a dji pocket two which I will pick up when I get home. Thanks for subscribing I think you are the first.
Cheers - merry Christmas to you and Anita too. Will have a play with iMovie. Cruising has never hugely appealed but we’ve booked our first one to give it a go - transatlantic from Uk to US in October 24 - celebrity apex
