@@hilltopwoodworking Hi Ian. Thanks for watching. Maybe I should take a rod next time. Catching carp is better than catching nothing. Are there red fin in the lake that you know of?

@@joll.4766 it’s a beautiful spot all right. The water still looks pretty good and there were a few anglers there but I don’t know what kind of luck they were having. Thanks for watching. ❤️

@Hindsight_2020__1 it is a good place to Kayak but you need to be careful as it is shallow and can become choppy very quickly

@@gunterbecker8528 sorry you didn’t enjoy it. You can check out some of our more recent videos to see if they interest you. But obviously what we do isn’t going to be for everybody. Have a good one and thanks for at least taking a look. 👍

@@davidoldboy5425 are you kidding? That was a goal! 😆

@@petecabrina yes it’s a free camp and really worth the trip. I’ve had a few comments saying it is very busy over the summer which wouldn’t surprise me. It’s a beautiful spot.

@@guesswho1485 glad you like the videos. That camp was a Thursday-Friday. I’m told the camp gets very busy over summer. I imagine the Christmas Holidays would be packed. Hope you get to go and check it out yourself. It’s a great spot. Cheers.

@@strayaonwheels5690 thanks for the encouragement on the videos. mate. Yeah I’m still flying off the back of those GF wins. It was a long wait. If you haven’t been to Cork Oaks Campground (near Clunes) or Kendalls (near Alexandra) they’re both good. Especially Kendalls with the river. 2WD accessible. We’ve covered them both over the last 7 months or so. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2bEm2Onq550Y6csi=kKStYXttqsapRySp

That was Lion’s Head Extension Track. It’s a great little track. Should have brought a full sized shovel though. Thanks for watching.

@@gavinjewell5886 looks like I should reread the manual. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

I drove this track about 6 months ago in my stock disco and had no troubles just a big send up the hill

@@jasondiprose3075 yeah you did the right thing. We considered backing through the bog hole but with only one vehicle it seemed the bigger risk. Glad you guys got out ok. It’s slippery as hell up there.

@@mmmmdeliciousbacon Amateur Hour? We prefer to call it organic skill acquisition. 😉 Thanks for watching.

@CampAndDriveAustralia I was overly harsh. For that I apologise and withdraw my comment. You are out there is the bush giving it your best, and that is just awesome. Beats being at home in front of the TV. 😊

@@mmmmdeliciousbacon it’s all good mate. Like you said we’re just out there giving it a go. The bush, the desert… it all beats the lounge room. 😄

Welcome!

@@Webpromotions I knew they printed those owners manuals for a reason. Some people reckon it’s just to fill up space in your glove box. 😆

I always tell people to make their own choice. I’ve been up steeper tracks than that. But with the way it was chopped up, the camber, and the AT’s rather than muddies, I felt better turning around. And I’m still happy with the decision. I love that you did it on a commodore though. I used to go bush bashing in the Wombat Forest with my HK about thirty years ago. It was a lot of fun. Cheers mate. 👍

Yeah the rear diff lock is standard. But we were hung up at the rear and the right side. Diff locks no good if the weight isn’t on the wheels. We still had a good time though. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍😄

Glad you enjoyed the video. I can tell you we were pretty tired towards the end there. But we learned a few more handy lessons for next time and we’re happy to pass that on to others so they can save themselves a bit of pain. 😄 Happy travels.

@@CampAndDriveAustralia I think what made it a lot more work was you were the one with 4wd experience and your mate couldn't communicate and spot you, so you had to get out and check yourself, re arrange the maxtracks etc. Perhaps if they are regular company be worth getting him on a 4wd and recovery course? The other thing is, when bogged, Maxtracks are disposable and don't worry about breaking them. If the expense concerns you then you should buy the $80 ebay ones, work just as well just not as durable, but I've never personally used mine

@@bazza2540 all sound advice. I do consider maxtrax to be consumables. But I haven’t had one fail yet and I’ve had some good use out of mine.

The Pajero is a remarkably capable 4x4. Often overlooked I think. Thanks for watching. We’re glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks mate. Every 4x4 trip is a learning experience and every recovery even more so. We hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers.

True. We went to toolangi and had to back out a few times. Lerderderg has a good mix of tracks from easy to WTF. 😄 Kinglake depends on what year you go there. If it’s been dry it’s so easy. If it’s been wet… Hope you enjoyed the video. And please subscribe if you haven’t already.

Thanks for watching. We haven’t been to Mudgee (except that I drove through it once about 30 years ago). We would love to check the township out and camp in the area one day. So many towns, so little time. 😄

Thanks mate. It is a great campground. Definitely worth putting on your list. Happy camping 👍😄

Given its location you would think maybe a couple of thousand. But Broken Hill is actually a big town. Well worth a visit. We haven’t been to Mudgee though. Do you recommend it? And thanks for watching.

You’re welcome Dave and thanks for watching. I’m glad we were able to show Silverton to you. There are so many little towns in this country that small communities like Silverton are easy to miss. We haven’t even been to all the towns in our home state of Victoria. And yes those were wild horses just wandering around.

Hi Broneo. This is a free camp. You do not have to pay. And it’s a really beautiful spot. I hope you enjoyed the video. And please Subscribe if you haven’t already. 🙏 😀

@CampAndDriveAustralia thanks buddy I can say you is the best in KZbin make people more enjoy come down Noble park I'm happy visit you

@@broneo2165 thanks mate. That’s really encouraging to hear.

I guess you’re talking about the Stones t shirt. That was from Target I think. The Queen t shirt in the middle of the video was from a Queen concert in Melbourne when they had Adam Lambert singing. For the record, I saw Queen with Freddy Mercury back in the mid 80’s. It was awesome.

Yeah I know this guy with a hot tent. Maybe I’ll try it some time. 😄

Hey, we’re happy to hear you’re enjoying our videos. Bash’s family used those lanterns as their only light source when he was a youngster. My childhood was a couple of years of the gas version when we were between houses. But they’re not only great for nostalgia. They are really bright too. Thanks for watching. ❤️

Yeah we had a gps map and headed to a few tracks on that but kept coming to closed tracks. We only ended up finding that one good bit that day. But it’s all fun in the end. Maybe we’ll check out Launders Tk next time. Do you recommend it?

Thanks mate. The Homestead was amazing. For $15 you can get an audio tour and the key from the Discovery centre in Balranald. I wish we had. Maybe you can do that one day and let us know how it goes.😀

@CampAndDriveAustralia I've got it noted and winter is my time. Can't stand hot sunny weather during the summer.

Murphy’s Law of Campfires. Whatever can go out, will go out.😆

It’s true. I am carrying a lot more weight than just that battery ;) It just goes to show you there are camping options for all levels of fitness. Maybe you should check out our Lawn Hills video too. That was a nice walk. Start at the 13:00 mark though. The first half of the video is kind of boring tbh.

Right back at you. You’ve got some beautiful country in the Alps. That’s one kind of terrain Australia is missing. We don’t have mountains anywhere near that magnitude. Thanks for watching.

It’s only 1.5kms of 4WD track if you come from O’Briens Rd. Easy but steep drive in with a dry track and a 4x4. But it could be a very different story in the wet.

​@@CampAndDriveAustralia yeah not so easy in the wet. When I went there it was absolutely chockas, beautiful spot but overcrowded and not enough campspots, they took O'Briens Crossing away from some reason. I've been watching your vids all weekend and you got a sub from me. I noticed you haven't got that lift as yet, maybe if you spent less on lighting you could've got it by now! :p

@@bazza2540 lol yeah you’re right. We haven’t got the lift and it’s an absolute necessity if we’re going to keep hitting tracks like that. I’ve been advised I can only get a 40mil lift if I want to keep it legal (and I do) and go up one size for the tyres. Muddies when that happens. Thanks for subbing. We really enjoy making the videos so it good to know some people enjoy them too.👍😄 It’s a shame about O’Briens. I camped there regularly when I lived in the area. But it’s much more useable for a day trip now.

Thanks for that. I really enjoyed camping there so I’m happy if others enjoy seeing it too. Cheers.

Sama sama Mas/Mbak, kita senang kalau video nya memberikan inspirasi. Jangan lupa subsribe dan share ya. Terima kasih kembali @doami22

I’m glad you enjoyed it. The king parrots were obviously used to getting a feed from campers. I tend not to feed the birds though. It didn’t stop them from coming to say hello. The Ron Swanson is a running joke between me and a mate. I’ve always denied it but now I guess I will have to tell him he’s right 😄. Just watched your Cotter River Vid which was great (liked and subscribed). So many people live in beautiful places and mistakenly believe it’s not camping if you can get home in less than an hour. Glad to see you’re not ignoring what you have close by.

cheers for that, glad to have you onboard....and nothing wrong with Ron Swanson, kinda fits with your channel ✌🏻 @@CampAndDriveAustralia

Hey thanks for that. I really enjoyed the trip. There’s a lot to be said for kicking back and listening to nature at her best, and worst. And there’s more to come from that trip. So hang around for more. Remember to Like, Subscribe and Share if you appreciate the content. That way more people will see it. There’s always more to share when it comes to showing off the great outdoors.

Thank you. We’re glad you enjoyed it. You have a great day too. Don’t forget to like and subscribe.

Thanks for that. Yeah we loved that drive. But we were a bit unsure of the way forward so just played it safe and turned back. But that just gives us a reason to have another go. It’s good to get the feedback on Hickeys Creek East Tk as well. Cheers.

Glad you enjoyed the video. If you’re travelling on roads that appear on Google Maps you can actually save the maps you need when you’ve got a signal. But that won’t help you with remote tracks. For that you will need a 4WD specific GPS app. There are heaps to choose from. But you have to pay for the good stuff. There’s HEMA, Newtracs and a whole bunch of others. We use ExlpoOz Travleller and have found that really useful. Always take paper maps too if you can. Technology can and will fail.😄 Don’t forget to Like and Subscribe. 👍

its Ice & Fire by King Canyon. Great tune isn't it.

Thank you 🙏🏾

Yep I will always be up for a High Country trek. Plenty of places I don't go solo not having a winch

No we don’t have a lift. The suspension is factory original. But we get a 2 inch lift in the future.

The camp is called Tanners Bend. There’s some more footage of it, and the road in, at the start of our previous video ‘4WD adventure in the Great Otway NP’. It has a couple of fire pits, tables and a toilet. Easy access off a dirt road. Really nice spot and very convenient access to tracks.

Thanks mate. We just enjoy getting out in the bush and hope others enjoy seeing where we’ve been.
