Hi Scotty. I went there on a school camp in 1967. I was so excited. One day, myself and a few mates did the big walk: Breadknife, Exmouth and Bluff Mountain. On the edge of Bluff Mountain I sat enthralled as two wedgetail eagles with an eyrie below me on the cliff, played catch with the carcass of a rabbit. One would fly high into the sky, well above the edge of the bluff, then drop the rabbit whilst the other would swoop down, catch it in mid air then turn up to fly high and drop the rabbit for its mate. This game of catch went on for some time right in front me. I'm 67 now and that moment has never left me. I have been back to the Warrumbungles since and also explored the heritage of the Pilliga. But, that time on the Bluff has stayed strong in my memory for over 50 years. It is one of many very spiritual places.
Wonderful story, Geoff. It’s a magical place.
Wedge-tailed eagles are sensational. Back in 2007 a chopper dropped me off in an isolated part of the northern Kimberley. Within minutes of its departure off in the distance a wedge-tailed started constantly screaming.... wasn't too sure if it was directed at me but it kept it up for some time. A few days later as I was trekking it kept it up again, following my movements.
Later, I crawled out from under a rock overhang after looking at some rock art. Sure enough it was screaming again but by now I tended to ignore it. But my ears picked up a rushing of air so I looked in the sound's direction. The wedgie had now changed its tactics and was actually plummeting towards me from several 100 metres!!! Where I stood j😢😢ust behind me was a rock wall so I felt pretty secure. The eagle continued its dive directly at me, the sound of rushing air from its dive was relatively loud.....and then, just a matter of metres before it would have colluded with me, it suddenly veered upwards, I guess fearing crashing into the wall of rocks just behind me. I stood my ground the entire time, absolutely astounded by this experience. I wondered what would have resulted without the rocks behind me.
I continued seeing the wedgie in the following week I was there but its screaming and any sky bombing had ceased. I just wonder what was going through its mind!!!
Now...lets talk about my interactions with the feral rogue bulls.....!!!!
I've always appreciated the descriptiveness of the phrase, "you can see for days".
Wow that was amazing! The landscape, views, night sky incredible. Your environment is so different than the US.
Watched this again... and glad I did.
Hey Scotty! Never comment on UA-cam but my girlfriend and I have been watching your videos for a long time since way back when you did your Uluru road trip. We love the content mate, keep it up and stay safe!
29 years ago my wife and I decided to go for a drive one weekend out of Sydney and ended up at the warrumbungles. 3 days of hiking and camping it was fantastic. Totally forgot about it until this video was recommended. Brings back a lot of good memories 🙏
Whoa. Now this is nice. Preparing to set off an adventure. The photography. The anticipation. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. Larry, Encinitas, San Diego, Southern California, USA.
You forgot to add “earth”
What county Larry? lol
@@chrispeterson1247 Having lived overseas, I am aware that not everyone knows where Encinitas is. Or San Diego, or Southern California. In various online groups I participate in, we specify our locations so we can all appreciate the global nature of our interaction.
I always love your videos. You make it look so easy and yet it’s a lot of work. Thank you. Be safe.
Mate you make me want to slow down and experience life better than how I am doing it. Thank you my friend. Stay safe.
Thanks for always bringing the breathtaking ozzie landscape into our livingrooms all over the world! Every shot in your videos is like an outdoorsmen magazine cover photo. You have a great eye for camerawork and the music also never disappoints! By far my favourite UA-cam Channel out there and always a highlight of the month.
Keep up the phenomenal work Scotty and greetings from Austria!
Do what you do it is very creative and engaging . Hard work without struggle is the key and I can tell the hard work you have put into these videos to get a great result.
Many years ago we drove through the Warrubungles and it was breath taking
Traumhaft schöne Gegend... völlig unbekannt... aber australisch wie im Bilderbuch... danke fürs Teilen!
Good lord, the views are absolutely stunning!
Absolutely gem the bungles, how long till the Pilliga trek,, look forward to it. Yep keep the camera rolling and keep safe.
Yay, time to crack a beer and watch another awesome Scotty video
Exactly. Well put, my friend.
I went in July 2021 and there was snow forecast the day after we left. Spent two blissful nights at Balor hut. Had coffee every morning on that cragg out the back!
I really enjoy your videos Scott, enjoy the quiet music, and also any bits without music are also great just to hear the sounds.
You really do capture the ancient energy through your videos. I’m always in awe of the sheer vastness & beauty of Australia. So unspoilt & untouched. Long May she remain that way. Cheers Scotty, epic!
i live just to the West of the Warrambungles, we often go through them, they are spectacular, regrettably i have issues that stop me from really experiencing the area
Quite a different style of episode. Little packing @ home, little driving, then the ripper hike (no cooking section this time). Good one and what a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing 👍
The Pilliga Forest is quite overgrown at the moment after all the rain and very easy to get lost in the scrub when you can't see more than 10mtrs and constantly having to walk around trees and thick scrub it's very easy to end up walking in circles, and a few locals have ended up lost out there.. I hope you find a few old logging camps/Old gold mining site or just stick to the Sandstone Caves or the Salt Caves/fire watch tower etc.. Big Sky Country.. Easy hiking in the Pilliga because it's so flat and the soft sandy soil in most of it anyway a few higher spots down near Coona and the upper North East corner of the Pilliga East Forest you can get a view. It's a very unique forest type and also one of the largest forests in Australia.. Watch out for the Hairy Man/Yowies
Watching this again, absolutely gorgeous. Lucky man.
Priceless.
Message to everyone - in that sort of remote terrain, when you leave your kit behind to wander, make sure you take a basic survival kit with you & emergency comms.
Wow I definitely need to add this one to the list! Definitely worth the drive from Brissy. Thanks for bringing us along
Stunning place … which seems to be the theme for each place you visit! Enjoyed this one and I’m already looking forward to the next!
Went camping here with my family as a kid, and so many beautiful memories are rushing back to me. This video is a work of art mate, you should be so proud!
The most stars I've seen? Was when I HALO'd from a C-141 at 36,500ft at 03:31:36. Looked like I could just reach out and touch them! And with a full moon, a cloud base at 2700, the earth was a soft gray. It was a magical moment.

That is an amazing place Scotty I travelled through that country on and off for more than 2 decades
as an interstate truck driver carting general freight ,livestock ,grain and furniture I got to see a hell of a lot of all that country but the Warrumbungles are pretty special the Pilliga is interesting as well .
Alot of truckies don't speak too highly of the pilliga
@@ciggie. I never had a problem with the Pilliga except in the early days when it was a rough old dirt rd and the wild pigs and kangaroos bloody things were every where out their and I never saw a yowie either
@@rodgeorge7244 forgive my California naivety but what is a Yowie.
I am lucky enough to live in a beautiful area sand, sun mild weather mountains lakes all within a short distance. people actually save their money all year to come enjoy a brief holiday or just a weekend get away but it really doesn’t even come close to the beauty of your country and the areas mr. Scotty is kind enough to share with us. Hope to save my money and come spend some time enjoying your beautiful backyard. Hopefully I will see a Yowie… or maybe not?
@@reidmcm7334 and you probably won't see one unless you are taking the right drugs or smoking dope they are a figment of peoples imagination a bit like your bigfoot
@@rodgeorge7244 you might want to Google Yowie sightings in the Pilliga... I live in Narrabri and have camped out there on the Eastern side many many times but never again! Pigs a couple of times noseing at my swag, but the last one wasnt a pig I'm sure! Pigs dont scream/roar like that, and make loud sounds as they run off :P I've even had a local tell me that they're mostly and or only active during the colder months of the year.. I still like going out to the Pilliga but day time only now. I'm not a fool and don't take any drugs, but people who live up here have all heard a story or two..
Thats Beautiful Country it looks Primeval, like your the First Man coming Down Out of Tree's and Exploring your World First Time!! Toronto ( Soul)
Really cool scenery
Mate. The cinematography and production is next level. Awesome view of the Aussie bush. Thanks.
Such an amazing place. One day I'll come visit Australia, for now I'll have to be content exploring Wales, Lake District and Scotland in the uk. Also, what an amazing sky, you should think about getting some small 2x binoculars like the omegon 2.1x42 binoculars or Australian equivalent.
Absolutely stunning Scotty! I keep using the same superlatives for your videos, like stunning, beautiful, amazing, but I just can't think of anything better to describe the locations you hike to and the videos you produce. Just love your style Mate 🙌🔥 Keep it up.
Amen to that !!! Scotty's become a legend already. Bushyboy Oz.
Absolutely flawless content. It's always a joy to see you have a new video to look forward to watching. Thanks for all the work you put in, and sharing your experience with us in exquisite forms. I'm happy you get to reap beautiful moments in time as your rewards.
I've been watching your videos for a few years now mate and really enjoy them, find them quite inspiring.
I've always wanted to do the types of trips you do, but I'm a pastry chef on the Gold Coast. Working nightshift, sleeping days, long weeks, long days. Hard to get the time off or travel far with my one day off. Living to work instead of working to live, it's taken a huge toll on my physical and mental health over the years. But I decided 3 months ago to get outta the rat race, regain some quality of life and move to rural NSW to Coonabarabran. One of the reasons was so I could be close to the warrumbungles and start doing the hiking and camping you do. Moving there end of July. But the fact that you went there just before me I find pretty amazing as I thought to myself when I went there to scout the place out "i wonder if Scotty has camped here yet."
Anyway mate, love your work and stay safe out there. Looking forward to a video on the Pilliga. Heard some crazy ass stories bout yowies out there.
Good luck with the move.
I did the knife blade when i was 16. It is a lovely place. And Siding Springs is just there too.
Great adventure amazing scenery and music
Beautiful stunning vistas - I think a great resolve and celebration to end the days travel is to de cork a bottle of fine Australian red and reflect & rejoice in the blessings given - shared and lived ! 🙏
You're living your best life, Scotty. No doubt about that.
Another gem, I was totally unaware of the beauty of the Warrumbungles.
Question Scotty, in all your lone remote camping have you ever had a Yowie visit?
Ooo, I was wondering the same thing!!
Bloody fantastic.
Fantastic that view went on for days
im so lost in life, all time low, anxiety all time high. there's no happiness and im just so lost, i dont know what to do...i pray that i get through this, your vids help thought, thank you.
Keep your chin up. Life can kick our ass sometimes. Keep pushing and don’t give up 👍
Nylon,,the truth is life can suck , and then get worse
One must identify what makes them sad what makes them happy, and navigate where possible
Australia is so unique… watching this video really gives me a sense of how the passing of time leaves it´s mark, the land seems ancient….I love it. Thank you for all your videos. 🌀♥️🌀
You're lucky, Ive been 3 times, and this year is the first time I saw any water in the creeks - rocky pebble beds in past years. It totally changes the vibe of the park! Beautiful place.
Absolutely Stooked! I stumbled across your channel.
Australia is a very beautiful place and your excellent videos display all the beauty and majesty that Warrumbungle has to offer. Well done. Thanks for sharing with us all. March on!
Sweet hike man! Thanks for taking us along! HooRoo!!
Pilliga forest?! Good luck mate! Expect some Yowies there 😳. Keep the camera running all night, they don't like cameras 😁
Bloody epic is definitely the best description!!
WOW! Stunning location! 😍
Mt Kaputar near Narrabri also gets snow occasionally - there is some great stuff to see there too, tho there are less long tracks.
Loved this one. We done most of that hike a couple of months ago. We certainly live in a ..........(insert your best here) place.
You truly have a beautiful country .
That might be the most beautiful landscape I've seen you explore.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your experience with us
"Absolutely frothing on it!" LOL!
Amazing place. Kind of reminds me of the southern Black Hills here in the states. Thanks for sharing Mr. Scotty. Peace!
Mate that whole edit was breathtaking. What an amazing place thanks for sharing.
Hey Scotty - the Warrumbungles rock, my Mrs and I were there last Sept and we totally enjoyed it. Also somewhere in the family photo album there are piccys of me as a toddler in a creek out there (minus clothing). Love the channel 👍
