We took the wrong 4wd track to Dundee beach free camp and it almost cost us. We finally make it through the the track to find the perfect beach camp and got stuck straight into some fishing.

Tip when using oil on or in a hot plate or pan,always use a high temp smokepoint oil like ricebran oil, olive oil islowtemp & burns the oil
thanks for the tip mate harry has told me this too but I keep forgetting! ill remember for next time thanks
Ricebran oil rocks!@@SarahandKeelanTravels
Just wanted to say I really enjoy all your videos you two are just great to watch and I look forward to each new release thank you both
Thanks David!! Cheers for watching mate!! See ya next week!
Great work getting out of that hairy situation!
And good luck to all the entrants in the comp!
Thanks team! 200w solar Blankey is a great prize I sleep with one to keep me warm aye
in the t&c for the itech comp it says entries in by 13th june 2023? haha, whats the story guys?
Ignore that it’s a glitch that’s when we did the itechworld battery giveaway. Entries open until the 16th!! Thanks for watching
Great episode guys, as per usual, you've overcome the challenge of getting through the tight spots.
Cheers 🍻🥂
Thanks legends!! It was very very stressful ahaha
You two make a great time, with plenty of of laughs long the way.
Thanks for watching mate!! Haha it’s all about a good laugh!!
You guys are great to watch, you both are so honest in your filming with what you do and the experiences you have traveling. My wife and I are just about start traveling next year as we have ordered a new hybrid vision 16, I like how you explained your solar as it's a grey area for a lot of people. Safe Travels
how exciting guys! I am pumped for ya! you'll love the vision, they look like cool vans! you can never have to much solar!
We did exactly same thing. Except we ended up driving back road down to the creek and then back along front road to an awesome camp spot. Well done guys.
oh no way thats awesome! cheers mate
Might be time to invest in some handheld uhf’s
Hahah got some just super lazy humans! Always forget to use them
Should be fishing the rock bar at the change of the out going tide. Nice place Dundee Beach.
Thanks for the tip mate! Epic spot aye
Pretty impressive solar happening... great info on the Air Con usage!!.. imagine how much better it would be with the Victron set-up!! I'm definitely getting 5-6 panels on my next van!!
thanks mate! this system is unreal and super affordable too!
Some hand held two way's and good clear pos comm,s will totally 👌 👍 heip.
Good luck
Good Vibes
One day a Metre Barra will come your way 🎉
Fish the tides & Dawn / Dusk
Cheers 🍻 with the 🐟 Fishin...& ...Cruising Aus🇦🇺
for sure mate!! thanks for watching!!
Great driving and spotting on that track, teamwork 😊. Spring cleaning in winter = washing the dishes 😂😂. Another fun episode xx
thanks for watching like always robyn we really appreciate your support
love these vids as they are down to earth & honest
You both constantly make me laugh with your episodes and adventures, keep it up guys. Russell
Thanks for watching Russ glad you love them!! We love making them for ya!!
Love watching you guys work things out for a young couple you have a lot of brain power between you cheers for a great channel.
Hahaha opps maybe you need to listen to sarah a little more 😂 on when to turn, but yes video worked and another great job done. 👏 👍
Hahahha oopsies haha
Please don't put your back to the water folks. Throw the line in and step back. Just good practice.
You both have nerves of steel getting out of that tight track 😎👏👏👏👏👍🍹🍹
thanks mate! was only our house at stake nothing major hahah
Great nail biting video guys!
Thanks legend cheers for watching
Great Vid. We did exactly the same thing August 2023. Was a very tight track, fun though.😅
No crocs seen & no fish caught bugger! Well done getting down that track guys, it looked tight!
Camp Looked nice though 😊
spewing aye! thanks for watching Ness!!
Wowza we were on the edge of our seat.
Great job getting through
thanks legend! glad you enjoyed it!
At the 6min mark when the van was on a big lean did you try to pump up the bags on the low side? To level it out to get through that section then you could of lowered it back down
100% Could of, but also the top of the van was in the branches already and even the solar was almost getting smashed so didnt really wanna change the angle too much and risk that
I thought exactly the same, been in tougher situations where airbags were used to level and get around tight situations with close trees.
You guys handled that situation like absolute champions!!
How friggen good is the Territory!!! Can't wait to get back there one day.
WOw ! the suspense the nervousness was definitely worth it for such a top campsite location ! ☀️🌅🏜️🐟🛻📹🤙😎
1000% it was so sick down there!!
Was the name of the overgrown track called “Barry’s Track”, that’s livin. 😆😆😆🤪🤪😎🍻
Wow what a hell of a awesome video Sarah and Keelan that beach is beautiful it definitely looks a place to put on a bucket list and go and visit. Next time if you are ever wanting to catch a fish for dinner I think you should get Sarah to do it the fish my feel sorry for her lol . Or ways looking forward to next Friday night for your next episode take care of. yourselves 😊
Thanks mate! Cheers for watching mate!! What a kind comment, cheers again and see ya next Friday for another silly instalment haha
Another great adventure, keep up the great work of showing us some epic Aussie places
thanks mate! cheers for watching!!
Well done getting in there guys and kept your cool...must be crows about 2 I heard them going fark,fark fark haha.
Haha thanks mate! Hahah I heard them too
Glad you caught at least one fish
thanks Rob, im pretty glad too!!
Ive said this before and ill say it again, your rig is epic! From the solar to the suspension to the power and traction monitoring system you have simply awesome, if id ever do a build out id consult you. Ever use live bait to catch fish? Might help you out a bit? Besides for that you guys pack so much into a video if i were to comment on everything it would be a story book on its own. You both are livin it and if i could posses one of your bodies and kive how you are i would. Youre both good looking, great personalities, strong minded individuals.
Love ya both!
thanks legend! what a kind comment thanks for watching!!
Fish n chips! Nice one! You know how to look after Sarah bro! 10 out of 10! Good one! So envious, phil
fush and chups thanks mate!! cheers for watching
Running your aircon at 18 to get it “down to temp” isn’t really necessary or efficient . The ACTUAL air temp coming out of the unit is the same wether it’s set at 24 or 18 ( if you hold a thermometer right up close to the unit it’s around 10 degrees Celsius) however it obviously turns the compressor motor off earlier at 24 like you were eventually doing. Also need to invest in a handheld uhf spotters radio , alot safer and easier to use than yelling out to someone who can’t see you and barely hear you
Doing the old Russell Coight track on the way in 😆
Great episode once again guys ❤️
I love that guy aye!
Here’s a tip for newbies. When you’re taking a big ass van down a dodgy track, put the Air Fryer in the OTHER side! Much more effective than tyre pressure or airbag suspension. I’m here to help.😇
hahah thats Roger! cant wait to see ya at the Perth show mate
@@SarahandKeelanTravels I wish ……😢
Great video mate. Love the music and editing. Keep it up
The Track you took on that way in use to be fun in the wet season.
I bet!! would be a river haha
It's all a learning experience you got through in the end 😊
1000% listen to Sarah even though she has the worst sense of direction sometimes she's right haha
Love watching you guy's your episodes are amazing to watch
Thanks Steven!! Cheers for watching and the kind words mate
No worries at all keep up your fantastic work, it always makes me smile cheers 😀
Solar is great but a 1440ah battery bank is Boss. :D Great spot there too!!
thanks mate!!
That is epic... Look gr8... That's gold guys... 😮😮😮😮❤❤❤Aww happy travels 4 you both.... Woop Wooop
Thanks Guys, enjoyed the video .Great spot ! Keep up the great work . 👍👍🍻🍻
thanks mate!! cheers for watching
Always great episodes guys. Got the nerves going through those tight squeezed road. Brought back memories for us.
We got to a spot that was supposed to be a 6 minute Rd in,got lost, took 5.5hrs later we made it.😅
thanks for watching legend! oh no!! thats a serious getting lost situation haha
@@SarahandKeelanTravels the worst of it was no reversing areas, broke the awning, the only way out was to cut a few trees down.
Another great episode. Love what you put the car and caravan through
thanks legend!! cheers for watching
I love your videos guys!
Awesome ep guys looked a great spot,
Thanks for watching Craig!! Every week mate! We owe you a beer I reckon
No all good, I love your Eps I look forward to them @@SarahandKeelanTravels
Great episode as always some tight spots
thanks for watching mate
Love Dundee Beach next trip on the list (don’t tell too many) we stayed at the CP had a partier up all night laughing bloody all night annoying. Left then next day unfortunately.
Spewing! We have all been there aye!!
Yep sure have!
Yeah. We’ve had a couple of those episodes. You start down the sure fire track and then…oops😮 But no one died so…yay😊. Well done guys 😅😅
all part of the journey I guess, 99% of tracks we go down we have no idea about and just winging it!
Another awesome episode!!
thanks legend!
If your up Dundee again yell out we will take you out in the boat, and we have a bush block ten minutes from Dundee pub, you can camp up at, no fairy’s though
thanks mate!! thats amazing offer! cant wait to get back
Holy mackerel- great episode - can’t wait to see you catch a Barra - been waiting a while - that itechwork solar blanket would be pretty cool to keep the beers and snags cold. See you next time 😊
thanks mate!! tune in next week we might have a surprise haha
I love watching you guys I really enjoy your Vloggs
I love watching you guys You are both hilarious
hahah thanks mate its all about a good laugh isn't it!
Arghh the stress I could feel that.....Im sure there are other times it is worth it but moments like that one....my anxiety would make me a mess. You guys did well great team work. You got there. Phew. Great video a real roller coaster moment.
Mate, such a great episode. Actually, all your vids are top notch. Listen to Sarah more often. She speaks softly but lots of smart stuff.
thanks for watching! hahah don't worry I listen to Sarah, if I don't I get kicked in the ass haha
Lol well done getting in there . Certainly got pole position. Did I spot a crack in the windscreen. 😢Bugger. Nice spotting Sarah, only a few technical errors lol. Cheers Kev 🍻.
thanks Kevin!! yeah big crack mate got it few episodes back, got it all fixed now!! cheers for watching Kev!
I've got 5 acres there, top spot
No way!! Such an awesome spot!!
Further south from where you were, about 3 klicks south of the Lodge of Dundee (or Fundee as we call it) We live at Acacia Hills near Noonamah@@SarahandKeelanTravels
Dont worry about bogging worry about standing close to the river bank then having ya back to it. No way haha snap snap
Camera plays tricks. I was plenty back! Got a real respect for those critters! Would take a shark over a croc any day! Thanks for watching mate
awesome vid... question regarding your battery monitor as i have the same system and find it confusing. You said it was about 70%, however the volts was at 12.9 suggesting about 20%. What is the best way to read these? volts or battery image. My volts often seem really low even when the battery is showing 70% or more like yours was. 16:07 on the vid for reference.
Thanks guys, keep up the brilliant work.
Thanks mate, it all depends on load, so yes you are correct if the load was 14amps and it was reading 12.9 v or 12.8v would be 20-30% roughly SOC left, but our load was up around the 70-100amps so if reading 12.9 is 70% because as soon as I turn off the aircon it returns it 13.2v with around 14 amps of load still on the system. If that make sense, the bigger the load the more the voltage will reduce under that load
Great video guys, was not the wrong track, it was the adventure track :)
love that way of looking at it!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels Its all an adventure :)
"There could be a fish in there, cause that's water"
Awesome fishing tip. Lol.
Jokes aside, stumbled onto your channel and now subbed. Keep up the good videos.
Another winner guys, awesome start to the weekend.......
Thanks for the share 🕶🤙👍
Ps......not everything is c#vid guys, the common cold and flu is still out there.
Feel better soon 🤘
thanks for watching Paul!! you're right mate!
Already a long time subscriber to you guys, come on iTech World🤞🏻 Love to win.
Luvin the new rig! Also thanks for all your 12v power advice. Keep the posts coming.
Just a quick tip: make sure you guys are mic'd up. Cheers G.
Ps
Bummed bout the Miss'os sunnies.
thanks mate! cheers for watching and supporting us!
That's the first time I have seen you stressed Kilen but can not blame yah great episode guys😂
hahah yeah not often I do! was pretty hairy!
We are after a drone,but have no idea about them.any idea s ?.keep up the good work.Going to buy that solar blanket now.😊
OMG that is my nightmare, going down a track and it turning to shit. Love your approach to sustainable fishing ...not catching anything 🤣
awesome video
cheers for watching
Don't use extra virgin oil for frying food it burns too hot.
thanks mate! next time I'll use high temp stuff thanks for the heads up
@SarahandKeelanTravels just normal olive oil is fine. Just not the extra virgin oil. I was doing the same thing cooking with the extra virgin oil for years until I started getting into cooking more and found out I was doing it all wrong 🤣😂
Omg!!!!!
OMFG!!!! haha
Is this area still open for camping I’ve just been told by a Local that they have placed concrete bollards across the entry track.
Great vid thank you. We stayed at Stingray head the year before last but I hear it’s closed now. Was your camp near there?
we wanted to stay at stingray but like you said its closed! think its close!
Think I’d have used the drone to check both tracks before trying one, otherwise, the beach looks great, thought they’d be croc’s hanging there. Safe travels.
great idea thanks for watching
Hey Guys.. what is the seasoning you used on the fish.. it flash’s up to quick on the screen! Great episode! Safe travels
its a secret haha you have to replay the video to find out
👍👍great vid , i guess save food scraps from day before then put in a heshin bag with string chuck into water and theres ya burly to attract the fish it has to work i recon
thanks mate what a great idea!! I reckon the snapping handbags might smell it though!!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels yer forgot about that hmm hang on the back and drive fast u might get 1million flys chasing ya tho 😅
Its a tad colder at the real Dundee.
One day for the Barra😊
its coming mate tune in this Friday
Must have been hard guys , Sarah dropping the F bomb lol .
Hey would a couple off Max Trax help with the lean off the caravan in the worste situation ?
All the best guy
P.S Keelan you know Sarah’s the one to catch fish 😉
Great episode, done well getting down that tight track. What was the seasoning you put on the fish
thanks John!! was tighter than expected haha I will 100% spell it wrong but if you re watch it you'll get the proper name of it!
Hi keelen. Noticed you have bm pro odyssey display. Question, no matter how much solar I have coming in. The loads is always about half of the solar, doesn't matter what is running. For example 20amps solar coming in. Loads on display 10amps. With nothing running. Can't work it out. Can't find much info on it. Driving me insane.
That does not sound like it’s setup correct, maybe give BMpro a call or your van manufacturer
Love the video. One question, you show the battery charging at 54.6a, then say PLUS solar at 11.4a.? Isn’t the 54.6a including solar already as it’s the net result of the charge and the load? I could be wrong but that’s my understanding. Be interested to know, cheers Paul (fellow XTreme owner)
What’s the secret ingredient mix you used for the fish you cooked??
what do you mean there was a 5min cooking show on it haha
Hey guys great episode as always😊 but a quick question with the air suspension in the van can’t you lower and raise each side individually so you can raise the side away from trees and level out on leans, I don’t have it on my van but seen on other videos
Yep you 100% can but the top of the van on the lower side was in the trees and lifting it would have put it further into the trees and solar was resting on branches ect, your correct though, normally I would of just raised it up on the low side,
@@SarahandKeelanTravels cheers for that thank you for responding love your channel guys 🤗👍we are at Uluru at the moment been lucky with the weather
Never heard Sarah swear before. But hey I’m not there. The van won’t tip in that spot before you repositioned it on the track in.
haha the camera will forever not do it justice haha
@@SarahandKeelanTravels 100z
100%
Shoulda bought an Armorlite!!😜
haha yep, the armorlite would of eaten it!
There is nothing more scary than being in the middle of no where if you break down
Unhitch - Cut those trees down and do a winch 360
I bet the beers tasted very nice after that 😂
Beer tasted perfect as always haha 😂😂
Hi.. I dont understand...you find these great free camping spots, have a hard time driving your car & caravan into them, then only stay one night. Why? It seems you spend more time driving and getting into them, than relaxing and enjoying your free days and what the camp has to offer.
You all still produce great videos.😊
its all about the story telling, we don't film 100% of the time so we often film the track on the way in, the first day we are there and when we leave to, sometimes it appears we have only been there for a night but in reality we have actually stayed for a whole week. Thanks for watching and good question, We call it UA-cam time and real time are two different things, for example im writing this comment from somewhere around Alice springs, and this happened 6 weeks ago at Dundee. hope I answered the question thanks again for watching
@SarahandKeelanTravels thanks for commenting... maybe let us know how long you stayed in that place for. 😊
un hitch and use your winch to spin van around
could of for sure!
Will gold have a major reset with everything else or is it better to go into cash ?
not sure mate
Great episode, what was the 'secret' spice packet you used for the fish?
you'll have to re watch the video if you want to reveal the secret of the fish spice master that cant actually catch any fish haha
Tried to but is flashes up so quick
@@SarahandKeelanTravels
@stephenburford54 it’s called tandco lightly seasoned fish
Hi Keelan an Sarah love your videos is that an ultragauge mx 1.4 ? On your dash if so what"s it like please does it show heaps of content and how long have you had it ?please
its the scan gauge 3 mate and we love it
@@SarahandKeelanTravels My son and his girl friend do a similar type thing to you guy's travelling, you tube , sponsors SANDTOSNOW they love the life style !!
I putting 5his on my bucket list ye ye 😂😂I 😂😮😮❤❤
Count them on 2 fingers...so 2 yeh..😂
Rocket science is my thing
Dont know where you get your air con info from.Makes no difference putting the air con on 16 or 24. If the temperature is more than 4 degrees warmer than the set point the air con will still run at max capacity anyway.
Awesome video, Are you guys still in Darwin. 🤞🤞
hey mate we only stopped in Darwin briefly to fly to Brisbane for that outback show, we will be coming back don't you worry!!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels awesome safe travels
Are you travelling and camping or just making videos ? you find a great spot and stay the night and that's all like so many of these makers of camping videos
How do you know how many nights we stayed? I think roughly we only film 10% of our lives so a big big chunk is not shown on the videos! A lot of the time we do only stay a few days but sometimes we stay for a long time! To give you an idea we havnt even circumnavigated australia and it’s taken us 3 years..
