    Love this Shad, like minded campers, there’s nothing better than finding your people.
    I was impressed to see someone use a travel buddy to cook something other than pies & sausage rolls.
    Your passion for outdoor adventuring is contagious. You leave us longing to get back out there.

    Taken the Shad Shack on the track out the back your no Hack and didn’t stack 👍 Mate . When the Shacks a Rockin don’t come a Knocking , it’s Shad time 🤪🤪 She’s a quick set up and pack up , I see ya had plenty of filming time watching all the other lads pack up lol . Great place by the looks sure wish I’d done more exploring around when I lived in Sydney but any time ya stick it in low and away ya go is good tracked closed or not 👍 thanks again Shad for the effort mate well done 👍

    @OnCountryWithMick 6 місяців тому

    Those ruins look wicked mate, it would be mad to see them. That spot where you found the locked gates into Airly is the same spot we went a couple years back and found the same. From my understanding they will not be reopening and are closed due to mine subsidence making the area unsafe. That is at least the excuse I've found. Turon Nat Park is a nice drive with some good river crossings. Water levels looked low from when I was there. Also, nice set up in the Troopy. How damn good is it to be able to pull up and set up in literally minutes.

    • @shaddonaghue
      @shaddonaghue  6 місяців тому +1

      Yeah they do open that gate sometimes, Turon really is a nice spot , its very popular these days though. The troopy is awesome for a quick setup. Thanks for watching mate 👍🤠

      Really awesome to sleep in , nice to drive but haven’t really had it offroad as such , just mainly easy firetrails but that was the okan anyway. Once it warms up be interesting sleeping in the back , might have to put a fan in there. Seems better on fuel than the 76 as well 🤠👍

      Hot water, milk, and brown sugar, it's a sogie treat then, no longer a crunchy cereal.
