    Hi Paul & Wenda, thanks for such an informative and interesting video! You really gave us some great tips and info.
    What a beautiful part of Australia.
    A lot of permits are required, however you probably saved people a lot of time. You've done all the research, thank you! 😊
    Your videos always have worthwhile content and I'm happy to keep watching. There's no exaggerated or untrue thumbnails!
    I loved the ending with all the inspirational quotes.
    See you next week, stay safe ❤

    Hi Paul and Wenda, loved the second episode on your adventure to Arnhem Land. The trip so far looks amazing and thanks for sharing this very informative, inspiring and useful information 👏 The tips and tricks have also been noted! Thank goodness you were able to replace the leaking tyre without any major issues occurring or unwanted critters stopping buy 🐊 that broom 🧹 would’ve put a sting in his tail Wenda hahaha 🤣 well done! Stay safe and catch you guys next week where we’ll be stopping by once again 🤠

    Hi guys. Loving your content and delivery. I always carry a cheap small tarp to throw on the ground for situations such as changing a tyre. Good to keep me out of the dirt and to keep the wheel nuts and tools together. PS: Wenda use the other end of the broom to fight the crocs off.

    • @beyondthegreyoz

    The permit system for getting from West Germany, through the GDR to Berlin was easier in 1985 than the permits you described. The restrictions were the same - stay on the main road!

    Those 44-gallon drums most likely had diesel in them. I know they use to leave them in the outback for people to fill up, I reckon I heard that from one of Malcom Douglas shows

    The drums are left over from fuel drops. Fuel drops are not utilised so much these days but, say, 20 years ago they were a requirement for outback travel. The drums were ordered from the supplier and dropped off by contractors. The price of the drop included pickup after use and the drums were marked by name or your rego plate.

      We reckon it would be risky. When we went the road wasn't too bad for most of the trip but then there were some very bad spots. We have heard that currently the road is pretty rough and wouldn't want to make any recomendations. Sorry to be so vague but it is a challenging road. There is a FB page that is dedicated to the Arnhem Road if you join that you can ask about the current condition of the road.
