- Crossing Cape York from West Coast to the East, Nath on his own stumbles across what appears to be an old abandoned mine and cant fight the urge to explore. Its a bit spooky though...
Thanks for all the shirt orders guys. Really appreciate the support and the money goes a long way to help fund these adventures.

Can you imagine how nice that stone home would of been. Now that’s something worth saving do you anything more about the mine what they were mining and when it was built/working. Cheers this stuff is something I love.
Amazing hey! Yeah it was an old guy named Charlie. Think he made a fair bit of money there over 30 years and then allowed camping there for tourists too. He’s moved on now tho and I’m not sure what happened to his lease.
Wild Reaches absolutely amazing and so much history 30 years out there the old man would have some ripper yarns. Was it gold mining do you know or something else the machinery looks like it might have been gold. When it got opened up to camping it would have been a good place to visit I’d love it and know many more that would as well. Always appreciate your reply’s cheers big fella.
Pretty sure that is the place known as the Bottle House, just out of Coen. The old bloke who used to be there did tours for tourists. Looks like he has been gone a while now though. Always was a strange old place.
Yeah it sure was strange, Amazing though. Yep ur right mate, Iv done some research since and its Charlies places just outside of Coen.
These videos are amazing lads,sitting back in rainy England wishing I was back in Australia,never made it that far north,wish I could do it over again, look forward to more vids 👍
Thanks mate, really appreciate that. Glad you can enjoy the adventures from all the way over there.

Howdy lads, huge fan of your channel! We're moving up Queensland next year and hope to do the cape every year after. Would be fantastic to bump into you guys along the way and share some stories of past and future trips. Keep up the great work and I will continue to share. Cheers Phil 👌👌👌
Gday Phil, that’s unreal mate, it’s amazing up here! Goodluck with the move and if you see us on the tracks make sure you stop us for a chat. 👍🏻
@@WildReaches that thing you were looking at just before you left was the hopper and screen deck that fed the sluice for gold extraction. The shaft may have been near but they may also have been mining the hill in the background and using the little tractor loader to bog the dirt to the hopper. That homestead is absolutely amazing.
OMG you found a very special place there it's history is very checked but yes that was the Crusher head here the dirt coming up was crushed and the first sorted there's another one and a great spot for paning just need to look out for the big crock she's a bugger great show love watching people find things that most will never see
PS the rubbish dumps at Portland roads is a crazy bird watching and palm cockatoos are there just before sunset and lots of them stay crock safe 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Wow, great insight! Love to head back there armed with a bit more knowledge. Next time we’re passing through PR we’ll check out the tip at sunset, alllwwways keen to find Palmy’s. Thankyou🙏
Love the videos mate great stuff. Audio needs some attention as the music comes on real loud but either way keep it up 🤙
Thanks Endo. Im trying to resolve that atm. Glad you enjoyed it mate.
Agree that this 100% sound is overwhelming, especially bass. Your voice is super low in all videos. If you need tech advice, reach out as I can give advice if need be. Thanks.
Finally got to watch this episode. Was a little scary but great episode thanks Natt. live your dreams and we will follow.
haha you weren't as scared as me!
Just came across your channel. Great to see you’re sharing the travelling with your little mate. Steve 🇦🇺
Great to have you on board Steve. My best mate there passed away a couple of months ago but yeah he was by my side always.
Wild Reaches sad. I too lost my little mate who travelled with us too
Have been to Stewart River a couple times. Is good fishing but was a fair bit of waiting around for tides while fighting off the mossie's lol.
Looking forward to how you went 👍
Yeah they're thick there aren't they!
Great episode, just found your content a week ago this Mining one, made me start binging them, creepy looking outpost..
Hey Darren, glad to have you onboard. Yeah that was a wild spot, a lot of history there in that area.
21:30 looks like the beginning of one of those Australian horror movies. lol
It felt like that too mate. 😂
Hey Nat - little late in the comments buddy but only discovered your channel as we were up in Cooktown, anyway did you ever find out what that mine was? Or where it was located?
Yeah Its Old Charlies mine. If you do some research on Charlies mine in Coen you'll see its abandoned but after mining there for years he opened up a little camping area there.
Another awesome episode and I won't lie I would have been shitting myself at that mine, very wolf creek haha. Would love to see you boy's hit some estuaries in the tinny too✌️
Next episode mate. A good tinny adventure.
Don’t wanna give anything away but same thing happened when I got to Stewart river haha! Good fishin out towards the mouth but ay an up the coast abit 👍🏻
haha its always a challenge learning a new system. The next episode is a good one, especially if you've been there.
Bloody awesome channel.
Is it possible to do a bit more 4wd?
I guess it also depends on the location at the time
Yeah we're aiming at pushing the 4x4 content a bit more mate. Next film trip in a couple of weeks we're taking both Cruisers and filming a bit more of the challenges getting into these spots. Thanks for the support mate.
That's awesome mate.
Really enjoying the episodes and can relate to alot as I've done the cape before
Green mangos maybe the same as green bananas, if you boil them you can eat them?
I havent heard that one
I don’t mind them hard and sour.
Loving your work guys 😎 can I ask what drone you guys are flying?
We use a Mavic pro and a Phantom 4
Howcome you let your vehicle's engine idle for extended period while you swim?
Hmmm, not sure why I did that, maybe to keep the cab nice and cool. Can’t remember
Music is way louder than the your talking audio having to keep adjusting the volume, other than that great video 👍
Thanks Terry, We're working on it mate
Agree
You asked for filming ideas - not so much an idea but your camera audio is pretty quiet. Music volume is fine though. Nice vids BTW.
Thanks Dane. We have a few people mentioning this so we're adjusting it all now.
Where is this place? Cairns local here
Just East of Coen
How about thanking the country you live in rather than just one minority group at the start of the videos.
