    Fuk Shad …. A seriously good production mate . I haven’t tuned in for a while as I been working like a dog. I really enjoyed tuning back in and for some reason I was watching and thinking about the work, the time , the effort, it took to make that trip a vlog. And a great vlog at that . Cheers mate

      Thanks so much mate, in 2021 when we did our big trip videoing that almost broke me , the only reason i didn’t quit UA-cam was pure stubborness 😂😂. Weekends are fine to film and manage. This trip i definitely planned to do it differently and it sort of worked, a few things im not happy with but at the end of the day forget about the video we had a fantastic time and thats all that really matters and bonus people are liking the video as well 👍👍👍. Thanks for tuning back in , i know life gets busy.
      Cheers 🍻

    What a crackin trip guys.
    Must say. Walhalla is one of our favourites of all time. I ( Brad ) spent so much time up through these areas as a kid with my Mum and Step Dad.
    I specifically remember a ceramic bottle with raspberry cordial we bought at the Walhalla General Store tasted amazing as a kid. 😂😂
    Really do miss the beauty of the VHC
    Great vid guys. Some real nostalgia for us 👌👌
    Drone footage was sick
    Keep em coming guys 👌

    Love the look of O'Tooles Campground Shad and Tash. 💗 Your music selection for this was perfect! It felt emotional. ❤️🇦🇺🦘
    Go the Ulti! You have so many beautiful and historic places to visit. The shallow creeks are pretty special. Lamb and mash 😍 Mmmm...🍽. That creek would have been freezing Shad❄️. Tom wants me to get some poles to walk with Tash. Hes hoping to save me another broken Tibial plateau fracture 🫤. Great idea. 👍
    Frys hut 😍
    Thank you to both of you for a very special vlog. ❤️🇦🇺🦘

      Thanks Gail, we really had some good feeds on this trip, and the water wasn’t as cold as you think but was a bit refreshing. We had some really good weather. The walking poles are fantastic especially if the terrain is not perfect, i have a set as well for longer walks.
      Thanks so much for watching

    You missed the O'Tools shortcut track. Not for the faint-hearted.
    Good work showcasing the ulti in action. I've sent mine through some "interesting" tracks throughout the 11 years owning one, along with a 14 year old 79.

    • @shaddonaghue

    Thanks Shad for traveling the less known tracks, great to see you have taken the camper as well. That old Golden Fleece Servo brings back memories there's one similar to that one on the road from Armidale to Kempsey I talking the mid 70's. I had a well dressed middle aged driveway Attendant fill my tank, only problem was, it's his school uniform with tie and blazer, I'm sure I was hearing Dueling Banjos while he was filling my tank. 🤣🤣🤣
