As always thanks for watching,

Another great video. Can you please put a warning up when Matt decides to wear his speedos.
A warning to hide your wives? No worries
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.😁👍
They definitely do!
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 :)
Ahhh corrugations Gotta love em 😂😂😂. Poor Elsie
cool ! 🏜️📹🛻😎🤙
I recommend earplugs. You'd be surprised how good they are for these long noisy roads.
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.
5:37 yeah, always gotta stick the tongue out when fixin' stuffs.
Great stuff 🤠👍👍
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.
You guys got man made clouds out your way like nsw
Hey Mat and Harley at least the windscreen still holding in place probably the only thing that hasn't broken to date keep up the good work see the next 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.
Yeah we did it a few months ago…. It just keeps getting worse 😅
Holly & Matt thanks for the video 👍👍👍
Ahaha I bet you guys will look forward to doing the same road in the new troopy to see the difference a few decades makes
Nice Guys great Team work & problem solved
Yeah the Budgie Smugglers!!
Those corrugations sounded really bad through the video. I bet it felt and sounded 10 x worst in the actual car.😮
It was horrible. We tried to balance showing what it was like and making an enjoyable video
wow, Haven't seen Kalumburu road looking that bad for a while!
I wouldn't have wanted it to be any worse 😅
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
Awesome content 👌
Greetings from south africa 🇿🇦 👏 😀
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the sub titles 👌
You’re welcome ☺️
You guys need an AC Kit from Skinny’s Cruisers 😂
One day!
Ohhh my, hard work on the elec stuff but ur roof lining looks like it might run obstruction when it falls too! How about those Ellenbrae scones, hey?
Needs a grader that road does
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
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
Go the budgies
At least the windscreen is bulletproo
I know right!
What was the oil dripping down the front diff housing ? , lose the speedos bro 😂
Bit of an oil leak from my oil spinner. The more people complain about the Speedo’s the more I wear them
Guys, what do u call that Tool that Adrian was using to strap your battery down?
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!
Corrugations 😬😖
Assuming ya let ya tyre pressures down for rough roads ?? What pressures do you run ??
Would have been between 16-24
