More touring and sightseeing in this one, not as much 4wding but hopefully you still enjoy :).
In part two we take on Mt Pinnibar and Mt Gibbo which has some amazing tracks, 4wding and views!
"yeah, yeah,good job; you can now be a chef" sweet kid
Tyler and Kai, you're in my backyard, I grew up in the Brindabella Valley (live in Melbourne these days). I know you did Mc Intyre's Hut and Mt Coree a couple of years ago and it is great you're back in the area. Did you notice that walking up to the caves you followed a dry creek bed, and when you walked back the river magically appears in front of you. The reason the water is so cold (even in summer) is because the water literary comes up from below the ground through a series of pools to create an instant river. Next time you visit I highly recommend following the river down stream for just 2kms to the waterfall. The water is rich in minerals and as you follow this most amazing purple coloured (in the right light) gorge closes in on you and the deeper water has this light blue hue as the sun reflects off the minerals in the water. When you get to the waterfall, you approach from the top, be sure, if the water is not to high, to sit in the small pool located just as the water goes over the cliff. It's like being in a freezing spa pool! When you stayed at Mc Intyre's hut the water from the Blue water Holes is a main tributary to the Goodradigbee River which runs past the hut and Flee Creek were you have also been.
Did you stop at Coolaman Homestead? It is on the track from the Long Plain Rd to the Blue Water Holes. The first time I visited the homestead in 1971 it still had some of its original furniture and the walls were lined with newspaper dating back nearly a 100 years. The horses have always been in Kosciusko but it is only in the past 15 years or so the numbers have gone through the roof. National Parks needs to stop limiting human access and focus on eradicating this feral animal that is destroying this fragile landscape. Yarrangobilly pool is not real warm in the summer months but as kids we would swim in it with a foot of snow all the way around the pool.
First time I crossed at Tom Groggin I had just turned seventeen, with my first serious girlfriend. It was in winter and we floated 30 meters down stream in a Suzuki serria. The old girl filled up with water, sank, luckily it got traction and we finally made it out. Everything was wet, clothes, food and sleeping gear. We were with a 4WD club (all mums & dads) and lived the next few days in old peoples jocks and socks. Not as much romance as I had hoped for that trip, ah the memories.
Can't wait for your next video.
Hey mate, thanks for all the information! You definitely live in a beautiful part of Australia! Next time we will go check out the waterfall for sure, will camp there so we can check out the place a bit more.
We saw the Coolaman Homestead but didn't stop so will have to do that next time too :)
Wow that would have been interesting river crossing haha, every time we have been there its been relative shallow
Thanks for watching mate
Bloody luv your videos. Best thing about your videos. Your out with your son. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate! Appreciate it :)
Thank you for taking us along the journey. Every time you drive pass your cameras I kept thinking you have to double back to pick it up lol.
Haha yep definitely keeps me fit
Mate another tops video. Camera work and cometary is excellent. All the information all the directions and short, simple and clear. The little fella is so funny. Keep on exploring
Thanks mate, glad you liked it! :)
I think that the way you show people on the map where you are going, is a good feature of your videos as it gives perspective to what we are watching. Also your explanation of where you are during the video is great. Thanks for another interesting video...
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching :)
Did the first part of this drive this week. Wee Jasper to Yarrangobilly caves. Thanks 🙏🏻 for the idea
Lots of great cinematography besides everything else that's cool! Great job!

Great video. I think I need to start planning a trip down that way.
Thanks mate, its a great area around there
As already mentioned, your videos are just so good. Great to see Kai coming out of his shell on camera more and more! Future youtube superstar maybe!
Thanks mate! Appreciate it :). Just depends on his mood as to whether he wants to say anything or not haha

Thanks mate, great spot there!
Love ya work boys congrats chess champ
Cheers mate!
Awesome video mate, dont know how you dont have more vids I hope your channel blows up soon
Thanks mate! :)
Great vid, was planning a trip down there Christmas this year ( canceled now due to other half :-( lol. ) to those exact places even the route you took from wee jasper along broken cart trail, as i have a Jayco wind-up camper was worried bc trail would be to tight or rough for camper. so you answered that one for me . thumbs up. but you have ingrained the desire even deeper to hit it next year. P.S I bet the blowies were a lot less at April than Decamber/Jan. P.S.S wanting to sign up and support you with patreon soon, can't afford much, but think you do such a great job and effort, so that deserves some sort of support so will try for as long as i can keep it up. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed the video mate! Great area through there, plenty of places to check out. Really appreciate the support mate, helps with the time/cost of making these videos :)
Very nice mate, i remember you doing this sneaky trip
Cheers mate, yep was a good little trip!
Great video! Come back to Geehi in the winter mate, we were there over the June long weekend and only saw 1 other group the entire time. Snow on the mountains is the cherry on top too 👌
Thanks mate, yep definitely keen to get down that way in the winter months! Would be super cool. We just always end up heading north QLD way where its warmer haha
mate how good was the weather over Easter ! we also hit Kosciusko over easter and setup camp at Blue Water Holes (5 nights) as a base and loved it, can't wait to go back and explore more. Great vids, keep em coming !
Thats awesome mate, weather was so good over Easter! Thanks for watching :)
Once again awesome vid mate had a few laughs from it keep up the good work quick question how do you get so much time off work 😆😝
Thanks mate! Im a school teacher so we go in school holidays and the odd weekend trip :)
Your young fella is a crack up lol.
Haha he's always got something to say
My young fella is 9 and loves Chess. Hopefully see you around Canberra sometime if you head back this way.
Great work mate, what drone do you have champ? I have a Mavic pro platinum, great tools aren’t they, this weekend high country trip!! Can’t wait
Thanks mate! Using the Mavic Air at the moment, they are a great piece of filming equipment. Have fun on your trip mate
When we go camping we just bring instant noodles and curry powder. We also bring some snags or beef
Yet again great content!! How old was Kai when you first started camping with him? Looking forward to hitting the trails with my son when he’s old enough. Also great use of the lentils, they’re underrated! Hanging out for the next instalment. 👍
Thank you! Think he was about 3 when we first started going camping. Cheers for watching :)
Yet another great video TT. I'm inspired by your travels especially this one. Will want to give this one a go. Can you tell me what / how you do you little fire side timelapses? Are these gopro or with your main camera?
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. Timelapses are with the main camera, sony a6300, using the the time-lapse setting on it and then its just a series of photos it puts into a little movie
Blue waterholes Murray cave is the best and check out the waterfall if you get back there.
Will definitely have to get back and check those spots out!
Another great vid Tyler. Love yer work mate. Just a question from my better half.. does your better half ever get away with you your adventures....?.
Cheers mate! Yep comes on trips sometimes :)
great video mate, you must do a fair bit of back and forth to fetch and setup cameras etc
Thanks mate, yep keeps me fit! haha
Can-Co-Bin = Khancoban! 😂
My kids ask to go to Tom Groggin every year. It's their favorite camp. What type of GPS/mount are you running. Thanks for the great videos mate. Just subscribed!
Thanks mate, appreciate it! Just using a VMS and the mount that comes with it
Just watched it mate great location absolutely stunning place if only Scotland would get decent weather it would be no bad had to laugh at you and your son playing chess my brain only good for draughts 👍
Thanks for watching mate! :)
Oh man you missed the best part of broken cart, its only a few km up from Emu Flat.......so much fun and nothing like the track into Lomg Plain.
Yeah I did hear about that part of the track and was planning on doing it but missed it haha didn't seem worth going back just to do it, hopefully next time
Great Video once again mate. Can I ask what mic setup you use for your post production narrative? Mine is very echoing and tinny.
Thanks mate!
This was one I was using
www.jbhifi.com.au/products/audio-technica-at9934usb-usb-microphone
Hey mate
What is the name of the book that you kept referring too in the video? Such an amazing video, keep up the good work! 🤙
Sorry the map*
Hey mate great videos, planning a trip there later in the year, just wondering what map you used and where you purchased it?
Hey mate, cheers! The only map I had for this area was the HEMA NSW state map, purchased online, just google it. Then the other little one was one I picked up at the information centre at the caves. Then when I get to the High Country its just the HEMA VHC map purchased online
Last time I did the Broken Cart track on an Enduro bike in 2006/2007 there was metre deep ruts. What 4WD would you buy next? What would you buy if money was no issue?
Another great video, thanks Tyler
Cheers mate! I guess if money wasn't an issue I'd go a new 79 series landcruiser and then do all the mods to it, seem to be one of the best 4wds you can still buy new and then if you're willing to spend some money on them. Other then that on my current budget I'd probably go another NP300 and just do it up a bit differently, been a great 4wd
Tyler Thompson or a 76’ series and you keep the dust out of all your gear in the back of the wagon.
Another rad place...Do you do much research before you go...👍😎🍻...
Thanks mate! We do a little bit of planning but a lot of it I just make up as I go/day to day planning. A lot of the time I set out on trips I don't have much idea where we are going/what we are doing haha thats why I just go myself, too hard trying to organise with others when I don't even know what I'm doing
I sort of thought that...Probably the best way to do it... Cheers...👌🍺...
Hey mate i was wondering how you go about with carrying chainsaws in national parks? i was under the impression you aren't allowed to even carry one! do you use ot to process firewood or strictly for track clearing? Have you ever had any problems with the rangers?
Just found your channel recently and have been enjoying it, need to go out there and actually use my 4wd instead of crawling around malls.
Hey mate, thanks for watching and glad you enjoy it! Yeah I always have my chainsaw with me in National Parks and I've never had an issue. Im generally only using it for track clearing in National Parks. And then wood collecting when we aren't in National Parks. We are always in and out of different areas, state forests, national parks etc on bigger trips
Great video mate. You ever think about taking others along with you on some trips. id love to tag along in my 4wd. funnily enough im from Port Macquarie aswell except live in Wollongong now. Think we are about the same age, 30 odd.
Thanks mate! To be honest we do like to just do a lot trips by ourselves but I'm hoping to organise some trips in the future people can come along on :)
@@TylerThompson90 Yea i definitely get the solo appeal. i love going with my wife and daughter but i also thoroughly enjoy just getting away myself for a night or 2 with just the dog. All the best mate, keep up the great videos.
Thanks mate, might cross paths on the tracks at some stage!
@@TylerThompson90 You will have to limit it to the first one hundred applicants!
Did the woman say anything about track closures during winter when you went to get information?
Na she didn't say anything, this was back in Easter when everything is still open. But you can't get across the Murray river at Tom Groggin and into the high country during the winter months, its gated off
“Hi Tyler your movies are awesome!
Can you please share how you create such beautiful night shots 💫”
Thanks 🌝
Cheers mate. Night timelapses are with the main camera, sony a6300, using the the time-lapse setting on it and then its just a series of photos it puts into a little movie
Tyler Thompson :) Hi Tyler, I was just researching more about the A6300
to buy and have come across a lot of people saying about it overheating.
Is this something you have found to happen?
Would you buy this camera again?
Bit nervous about a big purchase I guess....
Appreciate any help you may have :)
@@LandTourier They are a great camera mate and you I can't imagine you would regret it. Yep mine has overheated a few times, if you have it sitting and filming for a while in the direct sun on a warm-hot day it will eventually overheat and then you need to give it 5 minutes to cool down again. Its never really been a drama for me, just something that happens from time to time. But id still recommend it as a great camera for photos and filming
Tyler Thompson .....Thanks so much for taking the time to reply Tyler.
Really appreciate your advice and experience.
We are off to The Big Red Bash Birdsville soon and this camera is coming too :)
We always enjoy watching your adventures, they’re bloody awesome!
Cheers Brian & Deb
Is that a loop hole vegan spaghetti but with cheese ??? Lol
I guess so! haha didn't even think of that
Lol at Kai faking it for the video.
He did a good job haha
WHAT NO JEEP RUBICON??? HOW DID THEY MAKE IT THREW ALL OF THAT WITH NO JEEP RUBICON OR RUBICON GLADIATOR?? JUST ABOUT ANY TRUCK/ SUV WITH ENOUTH TRACTION AN LIFT WILL DO FINE OFF ROAD. LOOK NO SOLID FRONT AXCEL...
Haha yeah can get a lot of places in your more standard 4wds
