Description:
Embark on the ultimate outdoor adventure with us as we explore the breathtaking beauty of nature! Join me and my two adventurous friends as we hike alongside a mesmerising river, soaking in the tranquility of the surroundings. Watch as we set up camp on a serene sandbank, surrounded by towering trees and the soothing sounds of flowing water.
Experience the exhilaration as we take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear river, laughing and splashing under the warm sun. And what's better than enjoying a cold beer right in the river, with the mountains as our backdrop?
Follow us as we rise with the dawn and continue our journey through a vast gorge and picturesque Mountain pass. With every step, we're greeted with awe-inspiring views and endless laughter.
Whether you're a seasoned outdoor enthusiast or just craving a virtual escape into nature, this video is your ticket to an unforgettable wilderness experience. #RiverAdventure #Hiking #Camping #NatureExploration

I really enjoyed this video. My friend and I did a kayak camping trip on this beautiful river and this has made me want to go again. We're not very experienced hikers so I don't think our journey will be as adventurous as yours! Thanks for sharing Kate.
Oh so great to hear. It’s an amazing river. Plenty of spectacular sections that’s for sure. Hope you get back out there.
Thank you I really enjoy your informative, fun utube, your enthusiasm and laughter is infectious 👏
Thanks so much for watching and the lovely comment, it made my day. Cheers.
Looks like another amazing adventure Kate!
Thanks mate was so good. Happy hiking
What a memorable adventure you all had. Love the laughs and seeing you all enjoy the natural beauty. That rain on the hike out would have been so welcome.
Glad you enjoyed it. It was a pretty amazing hike. Wish there were all like that.
Oh, this was something special! What a beautiful scenery and presentation! 👏👏
Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
Love it! Thanks so much for sharing, Kate and friends.
Thanks Angelica. Hope you are well.
Oh man this is awesome!
Thanks mate! So glad you enjoyed it! Nothing like a good hike with great women.
Another great adventure! Good to see you enjoying the outdoors with friends.
Thanks mate so many laughs
always great fun watching your adventures, the tree root 21m in was crazy cool ✌🏻
How bloody good was it. Love how nature always amazes me. Cheers
Great trip and looked like you had a lot of fun! Lovely part of the world there and I share your reticence about water crossings. Always tricky for me, but it’s good to be cautious in reckon. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks a lot Alex. Yeah better to be safe than sorry hey. Happy hiking
Stunning hike! That deep river gorge is a real beauty.
When you said "I love a rocky outcrop. That's why I hike" I was nodding along furiously - me too!
Haha nothing better hey. Maybe we should make nerdy hiker T-shirts.
Awesome Kate! Looks like a heap of fun, and definitely specky scenery!
Thanks a lot Sam. It was a very special trip.
Amazing, thank you for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Nice one Kate ! I love it down there . Reminded me of when I use to take Duke of ed kids down there as their guide
Thanks mate. So cool there was a heap of kids at the top near the start maybe that’s what they were doing. A magnificent area.
‘We’re fanging for a swim”! Hehe 😂
Haha
Thanks for showing this beautiful Australian Landscapes .
Greetings from Germany.🍻
Amazing hi from Australia. Thanks for watching.
Wow, that first river crossing looked sketchy. It's a good thing you remembered to take your 6 legged camel along. 😆
Never leave home without it
Wow! What an Adventure! That was a really nice hike and overnight camp. I always enjoy my outdoor adventures with friends, good to have someone to laugh with you when you get bit on the 8um... whoopsy... 😂
Haha totally. Was kinda hard doing a solo hike after this much fun.
Good times ❤
Absolutely. Thanks.
Looked like an awesome adventure with friends. Thanks for sharing Kate. PS I love your new unit of measurement for rainfall...."a shit tonne" 😆 I wish I could use that in my maths lessons 😂
Hahahaha thanks mate. Yeah I bet the kids would love it hahaha
Cool trip and film Kate. A good balance of adventure and fun. The bush on the climb out was especially pretty. I'm with you in being a little bit shit scared of river crossings.
How good was the bush there. Yeah I guess it’s respect hey. Like I’m a good swimmer but with all the gear I feel so vulnerable. Probably why I was pushed outside my comfort zone on a recent hike in a deep gorge with lots and lots of swimming
Awesome Kate!
Thanks! 😊
I feel such a sense of (remote) community watching you and your friends who have the same love for the land as I do. It’s so nice to not feel alone. (If you’re ever over in WA and you can get up to Kalbarri, consider doing the Murchison gorge hike - I’d love to see what you would do with it on film!)
That’s probably the best compliment I could possibly get. I always hope my videos will give people a taste of the experience. So thanks very much. Funny you should mention that area. I might have a work trip over that way. Let me know if you have any advice. Looks like a cracker of a spot.
Love seeing all of the mullen. It grew like mad on the Buffalo River in Arkansas this summer.
Sadly I think it’s a bit of a weed here. But after doing a google it looks like an interesting plant
Looks like a great trip, I've not hiked that stretch of a river for a while and you've inspired me to want to get back out there!
That hill on the way out though is a grind, maybe I'm not so inspired for that part! 😉
Haha yeah it’s totally worth it though. The vegetation on the hike out was my favourite.
Thanks Kate, for sharing your adventures. Have you tried Ginger Joe ginger beer, my personal fav. It has a real ginger kick!
Oh cool that sounds delicious I'll look out for them cheers
Great vid! Wish I could find some adventurous spots in NQ like the ones I see down in NSW & Vic!
Ps your friend is onto something - Recipe Tin Eats has the best recipes ever! Mum bought me her recipe book coz I loved her online recipes so much
Thanks a lot mate. Hopefully you can find some goodies up your way. Yes love tin eats I just made breakfast using it. Thanks again and happy hiking
Loved the adventure, the uphill not so much. What did you wear on your feet for the river crossing? Was it just lightweight runners?
Thanks a lot. Yeah Altras.
Well done for collecting the rubbish even though it wasn’t yours 👍
Was so much I wish I could have collected more. There was even a whole bottle of bleach. Heaven knows what that was for.
@@KateGrarock Hey, love what your doing. Do you think you could ramp up the importance of picking up rubbish and calling your mates out for being grubs in the wild in the first place. Is There a video possibility of who to report rubbish to, or can you burn some rubbish or bury some? Maybe ways to pack out rubbish , extra ziplocks maybe how to pack your consumables so you have less rubbish on trail. Otherwise we might as well go hiking at the waste tip. People messing up the bush will get us all locked out of it with gates and no access signs' Loads of people watch and listen to you. Thank you Ray. Again love what you do.
@@raykinit4701 thanks Ray. Yeah you would think that people visit these places would respect and value nature. It’s a great idea for a vid. Will do some thinking around it. I guess I’m just a bit confused about why the heck it happens. Thanks a lot
Great video as always. Walked in this area many years ago. Did you go down Long Point up Badgerys? Trying to recognise features.
Thanks mate appreciate it. Happy to chat via DM. I just try to not discuss the exact routes in a public forum as you never know how much or how little experience someone reading this may have. Does that make sense? 😀😀😀
I understand. I'll drop you an email as I have some other location questions.
Can I ask what location this video was taken?
Happy to chat offline. I just wouldn’t want to send the wrong person down there. Cheers
9:32 Don't try this at home, folks! 🤣
Yeah wasn’t in a rush to do it again 😂
