    Hi Mate,
    Really been enjoying your shows on TV and on here hope you continue doing them as they are a very good inspiration to us all that the whole of Australia is not out of our reach and we must have to make that first step.
    Cheers

    I'm working out in Sturt National Park now. Amazing country. I'm also laughing at the flies attacking your face..... man they are persistent, I usually snap a long skinny leafy bush branch off and gently wave it around my face does the trick. Well put together video too. Regards Adam.

    Hi Brett. My partner and I just began researching this trip and we're thrilled that we came across your videos. We like the usual 4x4 stuff but you do it so differently. I just want to say thankyou for taking your time, for the keen history lessons, for slowing down and showing us quiet details and especially the fabulous footage. If I'd made a wish for outback travel videos for naturalists, photographers and travellers, I wouldn't have expected it to be already right here. Thankyou very much! You're teaching me to develop curiosity and observation for a landscape I'm yet to meet for the first time.

    Hey Brett! Fantastic video mate. I love the Australian outback
    Regarding the flowers at 7:40 I think the purple flower is a Paterson’s curse which was introduced from parts of south Africa and parts off Europe and is now declared as a pest throughout Australia.
    Keep it up mate! 👍

    • @RoamingTheOutback

    Woe wish i could just restore or replicate some of that historic machinery. Seems it is being allowed to roast into history without preservation in that harsh environment. I do love free open access real life museums such as you show. Great to see the history from afar thanks for sharing

      From Sturt I went straight to Sydney, then 3weeks build and conversion vids, 4x4 show, back home to finish the build, out to Welford, film, back to the coast film.. and only now have I had a chance to edit Sturt. Hectic schedule, that's why I disappeared in to Welford for a couple weeks and didn't film anything.

      Probably used a petrol pump like in the outdoor museum. Don't know if they bothered filtering their drinking water back in the day. Thanks

    Mate, if you could get rid of ONE thing. Would it be the corrugations or the Flies ?
    I guess, a bit of the old Roll on Aeroguard would knock the flies down a bit.

    • @RoamingTheOutback
      @RoamingTheOutback  5 років тому +1

      Corrugations.. might add another several years of service until the next rebuild.. have headnets for the flies.

      Yeh would obviously be dangerous if random people being shooting in the park . Not sure about the wallabies... Might be too much gibber for them to cross.. they Did once have a pretty wide distribution though.
