- Join us this week as we start day one af three along the Gibb River Road.
We had heard a lot of mixed reviews of the Gibb this year. There had been a really bad wet season for a few wets in a row so the road was apparently in horrible condition and no waterfalls were flowing. Have a watch to find out what we thought of it

You are right, people see what they want to see. I like to spend time in the remote regions, lots of people wonder why, saying there is nothing out there other than flies. I don't mind, keeps it free from to many people for longer.
Keep up the good work.
JJ's Adventures when we got to the more remote areas were some of our favorite times.
Thanks guys for another great video. Drone shots were fantastic. Cheers Graeme
Great camera work, guys. I'm looking forward to taking the Prado on the Gibb probably mid-2020, so your footage is inspiring. I'll look forward to following your journey. Cheers.
Nigel Harris you’re going to love it. Hopefully this wet season is a good one for you so there is plenty of water :)
One of your best vids yet guys, love some of the subtle production techniques you are working in...
Shane Summers thanks mate! Yeah getting a few more film editing techniques using masks :)
Wait until you get to Manning Gorge. Awesome!
Look on the web. Cheap pipe camera holder with t piece torch holders. Then in them caves you can light it up. Love the video's. Love seeing you both. Russell
thanks Russell, since we have upgraded head torches :)
Hey guys, rewatching your Gibb Rd trek, do you remember how far from free camp to Winjana Gorge?
Thanks a lot for the video . We'll be venturing through that road in a couple of months. Just wondering in what months did you film this? I'm not sure about whether they'll regulate the tunnel walk though. WA parks is quite wild in that sense compared to say Queensland. Have you guys seen the Gloucester tree? That would be so regulated and full of hazard and risk of death signs in any other state! Cheers!
Another great video guys. Some really nice transitions. How good is traveling Australia. We'll never stop. Looking forward to the next episode.
Venture Offroad Australia 4x4 cheers mate!
Really enjoying your series. Thanks for making them!
thanks heaps mate, glad you enjoy watching them!
When I went to Tunnel Creek a few years ago I did not see any crocs but did see 2 big snakes. One was curled up blocking the path so we had to quietly go around it through the water. Some of the coldest water I have ever been in but an amazing experience....oh plenty of bats too.
rodney nottage crazy walk hey!
The Gibb is a great part of the world !.. as you said too many people just blasting through beating their chest to say they've done it without actually doing it or seeing any of its treasures..
I do think it is being spoilt by the road upgrades and the mass of people driving it these days.
I am looking forward to your next video with enthusiasm ...some of greatest holiday memories along the Gibb River Road...
thanks billy, glad to hear some of the best memories you've had have been along the Gibb!
when i did the gib we stayed about 3 weeks ahead of the grey nomads so water in the falls, thanks for the vid guys brought back some great memories
We would love to go back and do the Gibb just after a good wet season, it would be slow going with all the water crossings but would also be so much fun! Glad we were able to bring back some great memories :)
@@OverlandTravellers derby shire won't let you onto the gib river road until the road drys out so don't get there too early, another cool place is Litchfield national park in the NT and some stunning spots and not as busy as Kakadu national park, love ya stuff guys keep it up
Love your video guys, Great inspiration for our "Lap" this year, starting at the end of January. Watching keenly on the wet season, to decide whether we go up the middle and across the Top End and Kimberley first, then down the West Coast..... time will tell. What time of year were you on the Gibb? I find myself wondering what time of year the videos were shot . Good luck with the troopy and hope you are safe from the fires. Thanks again for your Videos.
you'll have the best time on your lap! We were in the Gibb in August. We would really like to do the top end again after a good wet season before the big hub of the tourist season starts up
Great video, we are very interested to see what the conditions are like and what to see and do there as we’ve not done it yet. So far it looking great 👍
We loved our time along the Gibb, watch the next few episodes to see how it goes, it does get pretty rough :)
Good work as usual👍
great episode guys, just out of curiosty how is the kwiky tent holding up? i remember you had one replaced through warranty?
Oh, first 10 seconds - let the tyre pressure down. If you're not running 50psi, you'll get side wall punctures. Ask any of the crews who live and drive on the Gibb.
If you take a run down to WCC you'll need to be up to 55. That road is shrapnel hell.
Hadn’t done a tire in years did two in 10 minutes on Mitchel falls track. Glad I took 2 👍
Brett Hughes yeah exactly what I say to people. You can drive thousands of kms no worries on rough tracks or get a flat going out the drive way.
Cool. I like seeing video of people videoing etc because they are really concentrating and not just selfieing. LYW
Great video guys Gibb river Road looks great. Are there signs warning of crocs around there?
Domenic Costabile yeah they are pretty good with the signs giving warnings :)
What time of the year did you do the Gibb River Rd?
another good vid.
thanks mate
It might be a good idea if you don’t grizzle about the wingers. It will put viewers off including me. Just tell and show all the good and happy stuff. Happy travels.
Deane Hill I think you’ll find people prefer to hear how it is. If we only ever show the best of the best people will accuse us of portraying a false reality. And the point I made is don’t let people put you off of going somewhere, some of the best times we had last year were places people told us not to do.
If someone complains about a place / says they didn't enjoy it without any real reason to back it up, that tells me they simply didn't enjoy it and there's a good chance I will.
Those freshwater parts though, I'd jump right on in if it weren't for the locals haha 😅
exactly! we were very tempted to swim in a lot of spots but didn't because of the number of local there haha
