    G'day, we're Isabelle & Jeremy and we have been travelling Australia since October 2020.
    From April to the end of 2022, we worked seasonally at the most remote OPERATING pub in Australia - The Mount Dare Hotel. In this video, we show you what we get up to in the outback, from recoveries to events to collecting drinking water from a nearby bore and vehicle repairs to trips away to Dalhousie Springs and Old Andado Homestead.
    The Mt Dare Hotel is situated on the Western Edge of the Simpson Desert in South Australia. The pub is a popular spot for Simpson Desert goers, as well as a stop by for tourists heading from the Oodnadatta Track, Binns Track, Old Ghan and off the highway from Kulgera.
    The Mt Dare Hotel was regarded as the most isolated pub in March this year. Check out the news article!

    G'Day first time watcher of your adventures.........
    I have seen other programs that featured stopovers at Mt Dare, but this was fantastic to experience a behind-the-scenes
    at Mt Dare. What a lifestyle to be out there. Bloody fantastic!!
    You know so many Aussies venture offshore to experience other countries. Yet they would not have a bloody idea of their own backyard.
    Fellow Aussie get out there and experience Australia .... And suck the guts out life..

    We had been blowing smoke for a long time and it's been serviced, so you'd think that sort of thing was done.
    Sure enough, I did it myself and my problem is solved! 🎉

    Yep…..2015 was the year when a couple of mates and miss’s came through Mt Dare … Truely a memorable time as we made our way to Birdsville via Big Red that was easy to conquer as it only appeared to be challenging in blogs and UA-cam videos! Dalhousie Springs was fantastic except for the catfish nibbling at your private parts and toes should you be sitting in the water along the water edge! Keep up your good work guys! GG 😊

    Great to see you two again. We were at Mt Dare overnight on the 10th September, it pissed with rain all night. We hightailed it out of there next morning before the track could be closed. Holy crap - it was a mission and a half to get to Purni Bore through some deep and soft mud, especially around Dalhousie. We got through unscathed and without any issue :) Thanks, Jeremy, for the suggestion that we get going ASAP rather than wait for the road report to come through :)

    We had a similer but smaller experence this year. Was planing on crossing the simo east to west but mates car crapped itself out of windorah. Got it towed to Betoota pub (170km from Birdsville and 200km from Windorah) and ended up working out there for rest of our holiday.
    Was very different as we had never done pub/workshop type work before but got to see and do so much more then ever would have if just drove past.
    So much so we are going back to help out for a bit after the crowd from Big Red Bash passes back through next year
