The Troopy takes on the Gibb

On route to the NT, we take the shortest route possible from Brooome, tackling the famous Gibb river road.
Being our third time doing the Kimberley, we stop off at our favourite spots.
But as usual not everything goes to plan, from leaking water tanks to leaking tyres, tropical thunders storms and flooded roads. This is one we won't forget

Pro tip, when you get a cracked weld split or even a decent hole in your under body tanks, flashing tape, aka tar tape, tac tape works a treat, super easy to put on, flex’s a little too. Looks like a great trip 👍🏻

[@deanburrows3504]

I cracked a fabricated long range tank on the Gibb too. I used soap to seal the crack then an overcoat of silicon sealer.

awesome place on earth, cant wait to get back there. What drone do you have?

[@outbackexplorer4138]

Hey mate, we are using a DJI mini 2. Absolutely awesome, survived many crashes and still going strong. Def recomend

[@fisher898]

Well done. Great video. Magnificent country. Your choice of music really gives the video a quality feel.

[@outbackexplorer4138]

Thank you so much 😀

[@nellenejooste4636]

Okay, I have to ask. Are you guys not cold? I mean, Australia = Southern Hemisphere = South Africa = winter. So, where is your winter woolies?! Enjoy your tour - I love seeing Aus through your lense 🙂

[@outbackexplorer4138]

Ahah thank you Nellene! We are traveling through north Australia, it is very hot even during winter (above 30C most days!). It is tropical and the sun is shining :)

[@79series]

The North has two seasons wet and dry. dry is middle of the year wet is over Christmas. dry is amazing wet is wet hot and muggy but still a cool experience. travelling the top of Australia best done May to Aug

[@skinnytroopy]

Was that a long ranger brand water tank leaking?

[@outbackexplorer4138]

Hey mate, yes it is a long ranger. 50L tank

[@skinnytroopy]

@@outbackexplorer4138 I thought they made things properly. I’ve got one. Only done 11000km with it. I should expect it to leak I suppose.

[@grahameroberts8109]

Good vid thanks. As with most of these productions, the music spoils them. I just click cc and turn the sound off. I’d rather listen to the same sounds you do whilst travelling. Cheers.

[@BobJones20001]

Agree, the music volume is so much louder than the verbal its very annoying.
Overall though, youngsters getting out and seeing their country is very pleasing to see. Congratulations, enjoy, and savour.

[@outbackexplorer4138]

Thanks for the comment! We are still learning our editing progarm, but we'll get there!! Loving the journey so far :)

[@michaeldutt9523]

Cool video mate great content, just a little bit too much music for me. Never the less enjoyed it, keepem coming.

[@outbackexplorer4138]

thanks for the comment, noted!! :)

[@TheUnchained]

Good video but you need to equalise the music volume to audio when speaking, music is so loud that you have to keep lowering volume then raising it...

[@outbackexplorer4138]

Thanks for the comment Isaac! We are working on it :)

[@Strolchie49]

Never ever camp in a dry or partly watered creek or riverbed

[@svenfokkema3440]

Why not? You seriously expect flash floods in the middle of the dry season in 🇦🇺 Top End?

[@davewilson7313]

@@svenfokkema3440 Yes

[@frankhuth4130]

@@svenfokkema3440 yes, happened many times, but if it makes you happy stay there, not my concern

[@nzmarkb8713]

You could have just taped up that water tank with some pvc or duct tape, it’s not under a lot of pressure
Would have gotten you home

[@outbackexplorer4138]

Yes for sure! Though we are only half way on our lap around Aus, we needed to be extra sure it can see us through till home

[@outback109]

The volume difference between the music and the vocals makes for a poor video experience.

[@fisher898]

What's up guys.What an annoying American saying.
