  • The big adventure is back on! Camping at Watumba Creek and fishing for Marlin at Rooney's Point on Fraser Island is a real adventure that came with a few mishaps along the way. With over 400km travelled in total, the new boat did the trip like a champ. Looking forward to the next adventure for sure.

    Man, drones and camera tech have really allowed homemade films to skyrocket in quality. The drone shots a few minutes in with the music really felt like i was watching a top quality wildlife doc or something. Thank you for your channel!

    Don’t think I could ever trust myself to go on a tiny inflatable boat with minimal supplies by myself across the ocean. But that’s really testament to you, and goes to show you don’t need the biggest and fastest donk on the market to enjoy yourself and explore. That’s living, Well done 👍🏻🇦🇺👌🏻

    If you wet the sand packed around your cooler it keep it colder. The evaporation effect will help you keep food longer. Keep adding sea water as needed.
