    Another great video. Can you please put a warning up when Matt decides to wear his speedos.

    Glad to see the Gibb hasn't changed since I first travelled the road in 1990. Looks like the big rock bundies have gone, even if the corrugations have remained. Travelling there again this year and really looking forward to it.

    Everyone needs to bring an Adrian when travellign remotely in Australia. Soooo handy.😁👍

    Cape Leveque is worth a visit, along with Derby it's got the third highest tides in the world.

    This is one of your best yet guys, you've captured the rawness of travelling the outback in such an old vehicle perfectly. Thanks always :)

    I recommend earplugs. You'd be surprised how good they are for these long noisy roads.

    • @OverlandTravellers
      @OverlandTravellers  Рік тому +1

      They defiantly do help. One reason I don't wear them is that if something is going wrong and its making a noise I mightn't notice it.

  • @craignelson-swiftyenzed7578

    5:37 yeah, always gotta stick the tongue out when fixin' stuffs.

    Good luck with the road out to Mitchell plateau
    It was horrendous back in the 90’s and I drove it again a few years ago and it hadn’t improved one little bit !
    Just be careful of your dental fillings
    It WILL shake them loose
    Doesn’t matter what speed or tyre pressures, it’s brutal
    But so worth it when you get there
    Cheers guys
    Love that Drysdale river campsite…
    Drysdale station isn’t bad either!

      The road to Mitchell falls was horrible! You’ll have to watch next weeks video. Thanks for watching

    Remember those roads from the Savannah Way, problem was that we just had a 94 Pajero which got tossed around like a ragdoll. Probably one of the most memorable trips I´ve had yet

    Ahh brings back fond memories of having to emergency start my prado from Drysdale to Kalumburu, Mitchell to Kununurra. Amazing country and great video.

    That was very enjoyable. Like the bush mechanics and seeing some quality country side.

    The road was so bad to Ellenbrae Station and got worse from the free camp to Drysdale Station. I recognised the river you guys camped, it's less than 5 mins from Drysdale Station. We fueled up at Drysdale Station and bought our Mitchell Falls pass there and the owner actually looking after our caravan free, so we unhitched and drive to Mitchell Falls instead of towing. Yep, the corrugations did a pretty good damage ro our caravan too. P.S, nice bod Matt hahaha 😆🤣

    We have just done the same roads. Wait till you get to the Mitchell falls road. It's worse.

    • @OverlandTravellers

      Yeah we did it a few months ago…. It just keeps getting worse 😅

    Those corrugations sounded really bad through the video. I bet it felt and sounded 10 x worst in the actual car.😮

    • @OverlandTravellers

      It was horrible. We tried to balance showing what it was like and making an enjoyable video

    We lucked in when we did it and must have been just a few days or so behind the grader. Smooth roads the whole way. Except up to Drysdale

    Sorry but I’ll be the one that would drive slower but get the car to the next camp ground in one piece. Great video

    • @OverlandTravellers
      @OverlandTravellers  Рік тому

      We tried going slow, it wasn’t any better. The only speed it was bearable was literally walking pace. With hundreds of kms to do it just wasn’t an option

      @OverlandTravellers  Рік тому +1

      Hey mate it’s called a bandit strap. If you can’t find it just message or me and I’ll ask Adrian to get the exact brand. Really hand bit of gear though!
