Great series Steve. Already looking forward to the next one. Nothing brightens my UA-cam day as much as seeing a new "Mongrel Dog Production" pop up in my notifications. Inspirational stuff... as well as educational. Thanks again.
Thanks Steve , great stuff! I’m glad there are guys like you who make the effort to record trips like this. Respect. I wouldn’t have the patience to do it , setting up cameras , sending up a drone, editing and all the other things involved ! Looking forward to your next adventure! Cheers :-))
Hi Kiwizz 21, i guess you could call it a hobby..it definitely keeps me off the streets at night. There is a bit of work involved (editing etc). I'm glad you enjoyed the journey.
I think the winner is you ( for doing these trips and taking us with you) and your subscribers to get to view for another crackin journey. Thanks. Cheers 4 sharing sir.
Great video Steve, it's not just you, that definitely was a herd of elephants! Catching up on your videos, currently watching the "Milk Run" series. Keep up the excellent work you do. I always learn someting new on each posted series. Stay safe mate! 🏍👍
I check my UA-cam every morning to see if there is another Mongrel Dog Production video. I thouroughly enjoy every single one of them. Thanks for sharing all your journeys Steve. Maybe one day you'll let me join you on one!
Another great adventure and video series to match Steve. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks for taking the time to make these vlogs and showing us your amazing country 🇬🇧
Hi CT, I am always humbled when i get a comment from someone outside of Australia. I'm glad you enjoyed the content and the journey. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Once again a great series Steve, well done. In the early 1970's a group of us travelled the Gunbarrel Hwy trialling motorcycles for use in the SASR. We came across a mob of camels which wouldn't get out of the wheel tracks (which is all the Gunbarrel was then) and we followed them for almost 9 kilometres whilst they did as you described, snorted, sprayed snot and foamed at the mouth, before we felt that if we didn't either force them off the track or just stop chasing them they would run themselves to death. The irony of that was that here we were out in the middle of absolutely nowhere, millions of open acres/hectares all around, and these stupid animals would not move off the tracks. Eventually we got up beside them and forced them out into the spinifex. We must have really depleted their long range water tanks for them.
@@mongreldogproductions Yeah I agree. I'm guessing BSA's......maybe B44? Or could be the early XL series Honda's? I've never been SF or any other but I love old bikes and the stories that go with them. Cheers
Another well documented video you’ve inspired me to do exactly what you have done. Just purchased a tenere 700 and are planning a trip from Melbourne to Adelaide’s outback flinders ranges & Oodnadatta track. One of my travel bucket list is Simpson dessert then Cape York hope to see you on the track. Cheers
Such a adventure you have taken, I appreciate your commentary and sharing your journey, stay safe on the road , look forward to seeing more of your fantastic adventures. Thanks Ella~Rose.
I'm not a bike enthusiast, but gee these video's have been great viewing. I'm sure that you would have many a camp story to tell. Thank you very much for sharing, I've subscribed for hopefully many more adventures.
Onya Steve, very impressed with some great examples of snore zone etiquette observed in this series... you blokes know your stuff. But seriously a gem of a series, a real credit to you mate.
Thanks for another brilliant upload Steve, you’re a true inspiration mate. I’ve got the DR, camping gear and can’t wait to tell my mates, “Grab ya gear, let’s go!”
Great series Steve, thanks for taking us with you. Anyone who ventures “out west” owe a huge debt of gratitude to Len Beadell. I think you’ve got a lot in common with Len. Thanks for showing the cat cage. Agree with your comments on the GSA.
Nothing quite like the excitement of watching a new series... then reaching the end of it and the associated sadness that its over and complete.. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Once again you have succeeded in producing an interesting and informative video of your adventures, I think I speak for all of your followers it’s interesting to know a little about the history of the places you visit on your adventures, you have taken the time to do your research and it’s always appreciated .
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you not harping on subscribing etc... For me, youtube is a sharing platform, not a business or popularity contest. Thank you for another great video! Looking forward to your next adventure! Need my Mongrel Dog fix! Stay safe.
Hi DG, yeah, I don’t flog the Channel. You’re either a fan or your not. Glad you enjoy the Channel content. Thanks for watching. Subscribe and hit the notification bell for every up load hahaha. 👍
Another superb series. I live on the east coast and can't see a time in the near future where I could afford the the time or money to do a trip in WA. So many places to see, so far away. Please keep the trips and scenic tour videos coming. 👍
Steve, what an interesting series of episodes, your trips are really inspiring for aspirational folks wanting to get out and explore our vast great southern land off the blacktop! Muchas gracias!
well that was a awesome trip really enjoyed it thanks for making it available , be keen to catch up next time in perth say gooday , cheers Steve/Geraldton
what a great series , thank you for all that great filming , i'm an Aussie living abroad and you sure made me homesick with this adventure , I think your the winner , cause it don't matter what bike your on as long as you're out there doing it ...Thanks again so much mate just real good !!!!
Oooh how I love your videos.... sooo many memories and sooooo very many places I have never seen. THANK you. I rewatch many of them to give me the boost.
I agree with you regarding the GS, Steve. Although I ride an Airhead GS now, my previous bike was an 1100GS, so pretty much the same engine/suspension setup as yours, albeit more primitive. What a fantastic bike that was, 182,000km and still going strong when a sudden front tire deflation at speed from the then new tubeless Mitas E07 put me down the road big time and the bike at the auction. People scoff at the big BM chookies, but in the right hands they are great.
I agree. I had a 2004 GS1200 and it was a remarkably capable machine for such big bike. Even did some pretty gnarly hill climbs on it; crapping all the way up mind you. I regret selling it so I could afford to do some Vintage Scrambles on old BSA's and Hondas. Now that I'm too "broken" for racing I've got the urge for another GS1200 in part thanks to Steve!
Well another highly entertaining episode Steve! I thought the rains would make the GCR a re-run of the earlier trip mud bath! Thankfully not 👍 He who snores loudest, pitches their tent furthest 😂 Well done!
Hahaha...it's not obvious how far away i am until you see it from the air. No re run from last year (thank goodness) but i will be crossing again later in the year....never say never! Thanks for watching.
Your use of that big BMW, for going long distances solo in remote areas, speaks to your comfort level with the reliability of the bike. Wish me luck, I just took the plunge and bought my first BMW 1200 (used) except it's the authority version of the pavement-princess RT. Been riding it in city traffic trying to gel with it. Be careful of the test rides :)
@@suzyamerica4679 I think you’ll love it…it is all about the engineering and the build quality. Mine has just ticked over 150,000km and I have all the confidence in it to keep me going across this Country for a little while yet. 😀
@@mongreldogproductions I am very impressed so far. The seller let me take a nice test ride. He got on my bike (the Versys 650) and led me through some local twisties while I followed. We did ride somewhat aggressively. This one is an ex state police pursuit vehicle and it shows. I am trying to find out of BMW made a shop manual for these authority bikes, because they are mechanically different from the civilian models.
Good stuff Steve. It's always good watching your journeys. Seeing as you are so well outback travelled it would be interesting to hear a bit of history on the places you go. You know, have a yarn like a nomad bus driver as you roost along....... Old Beadles grader is a classic. I think that is a 1948 12G Caterpillar. We had one on a property I worked on out near Brewarrina NSW. I used it for clearing fence lines for the owner. No Hydraulics. Everything was [is] gear driven. Bloody hard on the hands when it came to using the blade controls! Crunch...Crunch....grind...Crunch..........
Asm an Outback Travelling nut, I just love how the outback provides the best camping spots.......I just love the red dirt....thanks Steve for providing me with the inspiration to get my sleeping bag out again !
I’m loving how fast the content is coming out, the only thing I watch nowadays .. Usually with videos like this you’ll see one get uploaded then they won’t upload for a month or so after. Good stuff Steve 👍
Another great series Steve, really enjoy the narrative you do and also the sound of the beamer changing up and down thru the gears yet you don’t have much wind on the audio. I dream of owning one of these 1250’s one day….
The audio is the hardest part sometimes…sometimes the clip has to be muted cause the wind noise is too overpowering. I don’t invest heavily in camera gear cause it gets knocked around so much. Keep that dream alive (1250)!
Hi DS, glad you like the vid..I do spend a bit of time in that tent. This is the third Banshee 200 that i've worn out. I like the layout. Economical tent when its time to replace it. I know some guys who spend $800AUD on a tent and they STILL leak. Go figure. 😀
👍 awesome videos mate, just getting my first gsa 1200 on the road/dirt. Can't bring myself to part with the old klr650. Hope to see you out there some day. Love your work✌
Pedestrian crossing for Camels? Lol. Great video, awesome views.
Great series Steve. Already looking forward to the next one. Nothing brightens my UA-cam day as much as seeing a new "Mongrel Dog Production" pop up in my notifications. Inspirational stuff... as well as educational. Thanks again.

I see the elephants! Thanks for taking us along Steve , another great series.

I'm not a biker but, i enjoy your vids greatly. Thanks to you and your two mates, mate.
Glad you enjoy the journey…
another great video . great filming thanks mate take care
Great series of videos, loved watching them all , looks like your rear tyre did the job well , look forward to your next video, cheers.
Hi PD, the tyre behaved as expected. 6,400km and there wasnt a lot of life left in it. Thanks for watching.
I'm not brave enough to ride a motorbike but i've added many of the locations you visited to my future travel list
Mega déjà by as you went through the NP gate in the rain.
Another top trip, thanks for putting it together and sharing it Steve.
Next!

Hey Steve, Great trip mate, thanks for taking me along. Stay safe mate.
Nice episode, I can’t believe in all that distance no emus or Roos jumped out of the scrub in front of you. Cheers
A great series. Thank you for all your efforts in producing this.
I appreciate it from Missouri, USA
Hi CT, I am always humbled when i get a comment from someone outside of Australia. I'm glad you enjoyed the content and the journey. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Great point, the best bike is what works for the rider. Loved the videos thanks for taking us on a ride!
That was an awesome ride brother, I am glad I came across it while I was UA-cam surfing, stay safe and upright
Brilliant ride mate.
Even better watching the second time 🍻

Interesting…I’d be interested to hear more about the types of bikes chosen (I’ve spent a bit of time with SF myself wink, wink).
Thanks for watching.

Great series, appreciate the time & effort MDP.😎
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed the journey.
Living the dream mate, the quintessential Outback trip, hope to do this one sometime..
Nice ride m8, some of the stuff showing the suspension workin, surprised me. I rode a bike in the Philippines 1989. Not since. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for taking us along on your journey Steve. Great production and magnificent footage. Cheers mate.

I have watched many overlanding videos but these feel particularly authentic.
Love that red ground, miss it a lot.
