When did you guys go? We just finished the Canning the 21st of July. South to North. The oldest cars on the track, an 88 All Leaf Patrol GQ Ute and a 92 All Leaf 75 series Troopy. Definitely a bucket list adventure! I think I'd like to return and do North to South next time but the floods changed the plan. The land changing out there is amazing especially the wild flowers. It is sad about hearing that a man passed away the other day though. Whoever created that link track from 43 to 44 created a real dangerous mess. We didn't even realise it was a link track until we realised the track was based off bearings and all the dune approaches were straight on. Just glad we were ahead of the pack and doing it at last light after we had overtaken everyone with the first convoys going South still not on the track yet. Oh and I found using a snorkel sock then turning the snorkel onto a 45 degree angle facing the windscreen resulted in my air filter being perfectly clean and my snorkel sock not ripping on the bush along the side of the track. 18 litres per 100 on both cars, Both new tyres BFG K02s no punctures or problems but Bridgestone 697 A/Ts with heaps of sidewall and a few tread punctures, both sets 285 / 75 r 16. Both cars NA Diesels and on Club Reg. The track is beyond all belief ridiculously brutal to the cars so make sure everything is in serviceable order. We found rust holes appearing where there were none before. Just go do it, if our old beaters can do it likely you can too, the difference is the old beaters will not completely breakdown in most cases like new cars. People are anal about radios and sandflags so be aware of that. Most people are retirees over 60 in brand new or near new cars. A tip is to place your sandflag somewhere between the edges of your radiator as the bush along the track rips flags off, we found two strays on the ground and had to drill and add more zip ties to our Bushranger flags. We did the track in 9 Days same as Drifta, but would advise 14 if you can do it. You want to spend more time on the southern section as its quite simply nicer with more functioning wells and more money invested in signage. 200km a day is achievable especially in the North as it's dunes but in the South it's like the high country and 150km a day. But we wanted to get off due to the amount of issues arising but that's what happens in old cars. 100% would say aim for 100km a day in the south with 8-9 days budget and then 4-5 days from Bililuna to Kunawarritji which is around 800km but Kunawarritji to Wiluna is a full 900 km plus you need some reserve for taking wrong turnoffs or new detour alternate track routes you have to take like well 3 to well 5a/well 6. It's the perfect track that encases all types of driving, you can be in an open section and all of a sudden change from a high gear to being 1st doing axle twisters through dry creek beds and rock gardens/steps then hit sand dunes around the next bend. Oh and fuel is $3.00 per litre for Diesel but a week before it was $3.30 most likely due to the floods in Bililuna and Kunawarritji. Oh and lastly your car is going to get scratched to pieces so either take an old car, get it wrapped or expect to respray if you don't like a thousand pinstripes down the side of the car.
Thanks for a great series team, I'm enjoying all of it. I am highly unlikely to ever get to do it myself so I will travel along with you guys. I've learned over many of your videos you come from Tumut. I lived there for a few years for start up of the Visy Mill and made many friends during that time. I haven't been back for a while but still make irreglar visits and keep in contact with my closest friends. Also good news we are now getting Batlow Apples in stock at the Bris Vegas local fruit and veg stores, so good to see them making a strong comeback.
Another fun and beautiful episode. Thanks guys. Love your choice of music Matt & Holly and I like my fair share of that hat please 😁. The Canning look like Pilbara region. The sunset and sunrise added a dramatic colour to those mountains and hills.
Hey guys great series and spectacular photography,as usual. Can you please touch on the unmentionable (no one ever talks about it) having a crap in the bush. Do you just dig a hole like most or have you all got some fancy bit of kit. Thanks.
Awesome episode as usual, such a fantastic part of the world. Sometimes it is the sidetracks that make the most interesting times. Black pepper is a great way to stop bleeding aswell, before you ask no it does not burn.
Nice drone shots, dirt also is a good coagulant to stop bleeding!😉😁.. love how you’ve fitted in a leaf blower, vacuum cleaner, clothesline, when are the garden ornaments coming out, brush cutter, log splitter(petrol), you talked about heavier suspension, maybe look at a heavier vehicle, medium to heavy rigid, something like Christopher on Aussie Salvage😀. But you seem to be enjoying yourself a bit more.
Enjoying the trip so far with you guys, I've done it twice and going again next year. Curious though, why didn't you check out 'Godfrey's Tank' whilst at Breadons Pool? I haven't seen it either but definitely want to next time.
The custom air box filter looked a lot worse than the standard filter when they come out. I’ll be interested how it stacks up as you go. Great video work , well done.
The side with all the dirt and pollen isn’t the side to worry about, it’s the other side being clean. The 70’s have a notoriously bad air box from factory.
Really enjoying the footage, however I'm really interested in how the truck preformed on the CSR, as we are doing this trip next year with the same rig?

@OverlandTravellers , which fender flares did you put on your troopy ? How is our roof top conversion so far - probably you are first client of them ;) BTW, great videos with some epic shots !
Connect 4x4 flares, we need to do some work on them after this trip and affix them to the car better. Conversion is great, a few small issues but nothing that can’t be fixed, I will be doing a video soon.

What a great trip! Fantastic footage.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely Ep guys enjoying so much
Glad you enjoy it!
Man, I am so loving this series. I must do the trip.
It’s probably the best track we have done. The range of environments is amazing to see
Holly & Matt 'thanks for the video 👍👍
Thanks for watching!

Thanks again! It was stunning
This is the best footage I have seen on the canning 🎉❤
Thanks mate we really put some effort in for this and there is some really nice stuff coming
Great scenery, you’ve captured it well👌🍺
Thanks 👍
Don’t remember it being that difficult to find Breadon Pool. There were heaps of finches when I visited
Yes with recent rains it was very overgrown

Yes there are lots of little side tracks to have a look at on the canning. Thanks for watching every week mate 👍🏼
@@OverlandTravellers thanks for the continued great content
So good, I hit the thumbs up button 3 times. 👍 👍 👍.
Haha cheers mate glad you liked it
Great stuff !
Thanks!

Haha well the only think out of that that’s ours in the blower. But yes still a lot of stuff haha

It was so overgrown it would have taken a long time and it was the middle of the day so we called it
You guys are really making this trip / series a stand out…. Unlike 4xoverland… who made it look like a drive by””
Glad you’re enjoying it mate we did put a lot of effort into the filming and there is plenty more of great stuff to come 👍🏼
Gavin Gillett has an unmatched solo trip on YT

Another beautiful vid.

Magnificent country, thankyou.
It really is!
Hi guys, wondering how to get your ebook on the CSR? Love the videos
@@kristineharrower7813 hey mate it’s on our website :)
Awesome ❤ keep rolling
Always!
Really enjoying the footage, however I'm really interested in how the truck preformed on the CSR, as we are doing this trip next year with the same rig?
You’ll be seeing the truck a lot more in the next few eps. Then a whole lot less after that.
Noice vid - Hows the bush wrap comparison going ?? we just got out DMX Wrapped.
Chalk and cheese mate, I’ll do a video on the difference at some point but it worked a treat. What surprised me about it is how the scratches that occur on the wrap disappear.
Looks fantastic in 4K
Glad you’re watching it in 4K!

6 min in and we’re bombarded with ads……i’ve reached my limit with ads for today so no more watching this channel for a while.
Are you talking about UA-cam ads or stuff we promote? Because we don’t do a single thing in the first 6 minutes?
