Good to see ya out n about again Brett. You've been a part of our inspiration for our own travels about the place back when you said "live your somedays today" we've been getting more and more outdoors ever since.
As a single dad who has had a bit of a mare of a year (like many of us) - reading for a couple of hours then having an afternoon nap is a very exciting prospect! Good to see you back out and about mate!
Yep, short weekend trips are welcomed. You made me look up Byfield NP! I used to do water sampling of CSG wells around Dingo and Bluff, West of Rockhampton. Amazing country to explore
Yep! I certainly know the "stir Crazy Feeling" (mainly from having to change to a 9-5 office job & paying off debt.😢) I just keep thinking....One Day! 😉Glad you could get away! 👍
Yes 🙌 Not boring at all, we don’t all need to be bombarded with extreme off roading, kit and gratuitous drone footage. Your knowledge and just laid back, personal manner is great viewing and you’re very knowledgeable and a great host. Thank you
G’day from Jafffa Adventures. We recently did a Byfield trip (and cut a UA-cam video) and Big Sandy is definitely a decent run...and yes the video never shows how steep it actually is. Keep up the good work mate😎👍
Glad to see a trip again! Looks like the Duratracs are still serving you well. I recently added them to my Tacoma build here in Colorado, USA. Loving them so far.
Prickly pears are an interesting thing, they basically took over large parts of Australia fam land until they introduced a moth that would kill them, But in recent years I have noticed an increase in prickly pear plants growing in the wild.
Only a really big tide causes any problems on nine miles beach…you might have to wait a while for it to drop to cross freshwater creek sometimes, but it’s always a solid bottom. Can be good fishing from the stockyard end of nine miles sometimes!
Glad you're back! Can you maybe put up a map to show where you are, Australia is quite big and I'm an Aussie exiled in Pommyland due to pommy ex wife and kids.
Hi Brett. Joe come with everything have on your rig, you still don’t have a simple awning for sunshade from the qld sun? You just try to park under a tree every time you stop for lunch? You can buy them for just over a hundred.
I used to have one installed, but rarely use it. I carry my tarps on longer trips with some poles. Saves have all that extra weight and drag sitting on the side of my car 365 days when I've only been camping for 3 of them.
Plebidonax deltoides or Donax deltoides is a small, edible saltwater clam or marine bivalve mollusc, endemic to Australia. It belongs to the family of either the Donacidae, or the related Psammobiidae. It is most widely known as the pipi (also spelled pippi, plural pipis or pippies) in the eastern states of its native Australia. In South Australia, it is called the Coorong cockle, Goolwa cockle, or Goolwa pipi, for the region where it is most abundant, or by its Ngarrindjeri name, kuti. In south-eastern Queensland, it is often also known as eugarie or (y)ugari, a borrowing from the local Yugambeh and Ugarapul languages.
I found a fruit today and had a taste. Very mild, bland, and loads of large black seeds. I think it would be best to add plenty of sugar to make it tasty.
@@RoamingTheOutback I remember really enjoying fruits from cacti that I found near Lightning ridge. It's name Cereus repandus, in my opinion it's even better than dragon fruit.
Good to see you back. I always enjoy your content. You always offer a different niche over other channels in the 4wd/camp genre! 👍

Thanks again, mate.
Watching again loving it.
You and Defender Mods are the only two 4wd channels I follow. And I drive a landcruiser. Must be doing something right. Enjoyed as usual. Thanks :-)

Nice to see you back at it.
Yeah, I wish I could get away to somewhere sparsely populated with minimal to no noise for a week or two.
great to see you back out in the bush again. hope it was recuperating.
Just what I needed. Looking forward to my next trip once I get all the current videos edited.
Good to see you back out amongst it and exploring. Thanks for sharing.

The best is the bush tucker man Les Hiddins he knows best about bush tucker.
Indeed. An Aussie legend.
Twisting for Pippies and getting a couple of rods out would have been the go mate.
Good to see you out and about again.
I tried twisting a few spots but no success. Was probably up too high a tide. Will try again next trip. Thanks
Welcome back. Where have you been?
Working, then working some more.
Yes not the most exciting video (I am sure your trip was good ) but anyway glad to see you are back on trips and making videos again. Mick
Good to see you back, how many k’s has the defender done?
I think around 420000km.
Glad you're back! Can you maybe put up a map to show where you are, Australia is quite big and I'm an Aussie exiled in Pommyland due to pommy ex wife and kids.
Might add one in part 2.

Welcome to CQ
Bout time 😉
Refreshing to see someone sensible at Five Rocks as opposed to those who bash up Big Sandy and make the ruts worse
do you have additional lockers ?
no. But I run Detroit Trutrac limited slip diffs front and rear.
Mornington Peninsula in the house 🏡

Thanks for the info. Good to know they have different names in other states.
There are no poisonous cacti, so you can enjoy it :) Though this one is rather annoying to eat. I am talking about fruits just to clarify ))

Yeah, a bush tucker, but you can't have it. :(
Nothing like getting into nature for some brain medicine.
