I always tell people to make their own choice. I’ve been up steeper tracks than that. But with the way it was chopped up, the camber, and the AT’s rather than muddies, I felt better turning around. And I’m still happy with the decision. I love that you did it on a commodore though. I used to go bush bashing in the Wombat Forest with my HK about thirty years ago. It was a lot of fun. Cheers mate. 👍

Yeah the rear diff lock is standard. But we were hung up at the rear and the right side. Diff locks no good if the weight isn’t on the wheels. We still had a good time though. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍😄

Glad you enjoyed the video. I can tell you we were pretty tired towards the end there. But we learned a few more handy lessons for next time and we’re happy to pass that on to others so they can save themselves a bit of pain. 😄 Happy travels.

@@CampAndDriveAustralia I think what made it a lot more work was you were the one with 4wd experience and your mate couldn't communicate and spot you, so you had to get out and check yourself, re arrange the maxtracks etc. Perhaps if they are regular company be worth getting him on a 4wd and recovery course? The other thing is, when bogged, Maxtracks are disposable and don't worry about breaking them. If the expense concerns you then you should buy the $80 ebay ones, work just as well just not as durable, but I've never personally used mine

@@bazza2540 all sound advice. I do consider maxtrax to be consumables. But I haven’t had one fail yet and I’ve had some good use out of mine.

The Pajero is a remarkably capable 4x4. Often overlooked I think. Thanks for watching. We’re glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks mate. Every 4x4 trip is a learning experience and every recovery even more so. We hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers.

True. We went to toolangi and had to back out a few times. Lerderderg has a good mix of tracks from easy to WTF. 😄 Kinglake depends on what year you go there. If it’s been dry it’s so easy. If it’s been wet… Hope you enjoyed the video. And please subscribe if you haven’t already.

Thanks for watching. We haven’t been to Mudgee (except that I drove through it once about 30 years ago). We would love to check the township out and camp in the area one day. So many towns, so little time. 😄

Thanks mate. It is a great campground. Definitely worth putting on your list. Happy camping 👍😄

Given its location you would think maybe a couple of thousand. But Broken Hill is actually a big town. Well worth a visit. We haven’t been to Mudgee though. Do you recommend it? And thanks for watching.

You’re welcome Dave and thanks for watching. I’m glad we were able to show Silverton to you. There are so many little towns in this country that small communities like Silverton are easy to miss. We haven’t even been to all the towns in our home state of Victoria. And yes those were wild horses just wandering around.

Hi Broneo. This is a free camp. You do not have to pay. And it’s a really beautiful spot. I hope you enjoyed the video. And please Subscribe if you haven’t already. 🙏 😀

@CampAndDriveAustralia thanks buddy I can say you is the best in UA-cam make people more enjoy come down Noble park I'm happy visit you

@@broneo2165 thanks mate. That’s really encouraging to hear.

I guess you’re talking about the Stones t shirt. That was from Target I think. The Queen t shirt in the middle of the video was from a Queen concert in Melbourne when they had Adam Lambert singing. For the record, I saw Queen with Freddy Mercury back in the mid 80’s. It was awesome.

Yeah I know this guy with a hot tent. Maybe I’ll try it some time. 😄

Hey, we’re happy to hear you’re enjoying our videos. Bash’s family used those lanterns as their only light source when he was a youngster. My childhood was a couple of years of the gas version when we were between houses. But they’re not only great for nostalgia. They are really bright too. Thanks for watching. ❤️

Yeah we had a gps map and headed to a few tracks on that but kept coming to closed tracks. We only ended up finding that one good bit that day. But it’s all fun in the end. Maybe we’ll check out Launders Tk next time. Do you recommend it?

Thanks mate. The Homestead was amazing. For $15 you can get an audio tour and the key from the Discovery centre in Balranald. I wish we had. Maybe you can do that one day and let us know how it goes.😀

@CampAndDriveAustralia I've got it noted and winter is my time. Can't stand hot sunny weather during the summer.

Murphy’s Law of Campfires. Whatever can go out, will go out.😆

It’s true. I am carrying a lot more weight than just that battery ;) It just goes to show you there are camping options for all levels of fitness. Maybe you should check out our Lawn Hills video too. That was a nice walk. Start at the 13:00 mark though. The first half of the video is kind of boring tbh.

Right back at you. You’ve got some beautiful country in the Alps. That’s one kind of terrain Australia is missing. We don’t have mountains anywhere near that magnitude. Thanks for watching.

It’s only 1.5kms of 4WD track if you come from O’Briens Rd. Easy but steep drive in with a dry track and a 4x4. But it could be a very different story in the wet.

Thanks for that. I really enjoyed camping there so I’m happy if others enjoy seeing it too. Cheers.

Sama sama Mas/Mbak, kita senang kalau video nya memberikan inspirasi. Jangan lupa subsribe dan share ya. Terima kasih kembali @doami22

I’m glad you enjoyed it. The king parrots were obviously used to getting a feed from campers. I tend not to feed the birds though. It didn’t stop them from coming to say hello. The Ron Swanson is a running joke between me and a mate. I’ve always denied it but now I guess I will have to tell him he’s right 😄. Just watched your Cotter River Vid which was great (liked and subscribed). So many people live in beautiful places and mistakenly believe it’s not camping if you can get home in less than an hour. Glad to see you’re not ignoring what you have close by.

cheers for that, glad to have you onboard....and nothing wrong with Ron Swanson, kinda fits with your channel ✌🏻 @@CampAndDriveAustralia

Hey thanks for that. I really enjoyed the trip. There’s a lot to be said for kicking back and listening to nature at her best, and worst. And there’s more to come from that trip. So hang around for more. Remember to Like, Subscribe and Share if you appreciate the content. That way more people will see it. There’s always more to share when it comes to showing off the great outdoors.

Thank you. We’re glad you enjoyed it. You have a great day too. Don’t forget to like and subscribe.

Thanks for that. Yeah we loved that drive. But we were a bit unsure of the way forward so just played it safe and turned back. But that just gives us a reason to have another go. It’s good to get the feedback on Hickeys Creek East Tk as well. Cheers.

Glad you enjoyed the video. If you’re travelling on roads that appear on Google Maps you can actually save the maps you need when you’ve got a signal. But that won’t help you with remote tracks. For that you will need a 4WD specific GPS app. There are heaps to choose from. But you have to pay for the good stuff. There’s HEMA, Newtracs and a whole bunch of others. We use ExlpoOz Travleller and have found that really useful. Always take paper maps too if you can. Technology can and will fail.😄 Don’t forget to Like and Subscribe. 👍

its Ice & Fire by King Canyon. Great tune isn't it.

Thank you 🙏🏾

Head on over to our facebook page and leave us a pic of your vehicle and camping setup if you like. 👍 facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083455611400&mibextid=LQQJ4d

No we don’t have a lift. The suspension is factory original. But we get a 2 inch lift in the future.

The camp is called Tanners Bend. There’s some more footage of it, and the road in, at the start of our previous video ‘4WD adventure in the Great Otway NP’. It has a couple of fire pits, tables and a toilet. Easy access off a dirt road. Really nice spot and very convenient access to tracks.

Thanks mate. We just enjoy getting out in the bush and hope others enjoy seeing where we’ve been.

Thanks for the comment. Yeah it’s amazing what you can get away with in some stock vehicles. I’ve heard other Pajero drivers call the rear bumper a sand scoop. I guess it’s a mud scoop too. Definitely need to do something about it before we leave it behind somewhere. 😂

Thanks mate. We really enjoyed it. And there’s more to come if you enjoyed that.

The Lerderderg State Forest has some easy tracks and is not far from Melbourne. Cobaw is another. I wouldn’t suggest Warburton at all if you don’t have 4WD. Just remember that track conditions can change from day to day. Don’t be afraid to turn back if you have the slightest concern about you or your vehicle’s ability to tackle an obstacle. Let somebody know where you’re going and when you’ll be back. And don’t enter 4WD only tracks. AWD is not the same. I hope that helps.

@@CampAndDriveAustralia much appreciated, thank you. It does help

Thanks mate. The Pajero has done us proud so far. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers.

Hey thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah there have been so many reported sightings over the years. It does make you wonder.

Thanks for the comment. Lancefield is a town that’s managed to hang onto its country feel. Others a bit closer to Melbourne are starting to feel a bit suburban. And Cobaw SP is great. Both are well worth a visit if you get the chance.

You're welcome!

We had such a good time on that drive with the Jeep. But the Pajero is so much more comfortable to drive. And has much more space.

It’s well worth the visit. A beautiful little town and I think SA in general is so under rated by us Victorians. Bu there’s so much to see and such a varying landscape across the state.

Thanks mate we’ve been lucky enough to do a few big trips as well as our regular camping activities. I see on your channel you’ve been on your own adventures. We’ll be checking more of that out. We hope you enjoy the rest of our videos. 👍😄

We really enjoyed the whole area. So much to do and see.

Glad you enjoyed it. We could happily spend months exploring SA but instead, we are having to do it bit by bit over the years.

Thanks Sven. I think we must have visited the wrong website. Those tracks did look good though. I think it would definitely be worth booking a time to 4x4 there. We hope you’re able to stay nice and warm there in your northern winter. If you haven’t already, please don’t forget to like and subscribe. 😃

Why do you say that?

@@CampAndDriveAustralia You called that a flat tyre. That's not a flat tyre, that's a completely shredded tyre. You can only achieve that kind of catastrophic destruction running the wrong pressure at the wrong speed with possible overloading thrown in. Was the other "flat " tyre, within 20 mins., a genuine flat or another catastrophic failure?

@@glenwillson5073 tyre pressures were decided based on advice from locals at Kununurra. There were long sections of extremely sharp rocks at various points on the road. The tyre guy at Ellenbrae (who had 8 tyres lined up for repair and various others on order when I arrived) said he’d been flat out for weeks. The vehicle was not overloaded. Nor was I driving too fast Yes it really was within 20 minutes. Sometimes you’re just unlucky. That trip was 13000 kms with no other flats. I can’t say I’ve never made a mistake but I can say that these two incidents were down to bad conditions and bad luck rather than bad management. Wishing you safe travels and may your tyres never fail you.😄

I’m should also give a shout out to Ellenbrae Station. Great service. Great camping. And great scones.

@@glenwillson5073 The first tyre looked like it had been driven flat for some distance.

Glad to hear you got through safely. Australia can be pretty unforgiving if you take a wrong turn in remote areas. We really enjoyed the drive but we had the right vehicle and knew what to expect. We had a bit of bad luck on the Gibb River road though. Two flat tyres and only one spare. Check out the video.

Definitely worth the visit.👍 There will be a wrap video at the end of the trip that will include things like the solar and battery set up. Spoiler. The Bluetti battery and panels were very good.
