Great video mate. I live in Townsville and use to head up there all the time in my 4wd. Just wanted to let you know that you missed the BEST parts of those tunnels…the waterfalls and the large tubes that run under the track you were on. Spectacular!

I owned a 2003 525 EXC for almost 20 years and did much the same as you are now experiencing. The garbage dumping situation has been getting worse over my 50 years of experience. I can’t believe anyone could possibly have the gall to do such a thing. It’s very interesting to see Australia from your perspective. Very well done video. Cheers from Washington state USA.

Baggy front tyre. Steer damper. Huge difference. Great vids.....

Brilliant episode mate. Look after that ankle bud. Shame about that water that stopped you from getting to the coast. But good excuse to do that adventure again. Looking forward to your next episode mate. Safe travels. 👍🍻

Interesting you say the suspension is soft. Many say it is not, especially with the PDS rear shock. What bike are you comparing the suspension to?

love your work mate

Stunning. Well done.

something fell off at 12min21sec

So the spot where you are camping right on the beach, I'd be concerned about crocs 🐊🐊🐊

Nice work, that looked tough. Sadly it's a long way from the West. We do have the Canning Stock Route and I will be taking the 500 out there next year. Looking forward to the next instalment. 👍

Loved watching your vid. Nice work. You have a new sub.

Fantastic footage and great shots. How lucky are we to have someone this wonderful showing us sights and landscape that we will never see for ourselves. Thank you its the best. Great effort.

Amazing content as always mate.

Ain’t no way I’m riding in the tunnel of death. Crap in Texas we have Rattle snake but yall have DEATH ADDER! Not the death come visit.

Where are all the Subscribers??? This is brilliant. Thanks mate, another great video representing North Queensland.

Awesome vid buddy !

Great content . How good is it when you get the boots off after a cracking days ride and slip into the pluggers. Respect .

I must have only just missed you, I've been up just North of Starcke in July September and just got back again last Sunday. Starcke crossing is dry now. If you turn to the right few K past the crossing there is a track in to Elerton Beach. Very nice spot.🎉

What's your fuel range mate ?

Excellent vid mate nice editing and drone footage 👍

Epic

Great vid dude , looks like an awesome adventure 🤙

What an awesome video!! Love it. I’m inspired to buy a 500. I just recently purchased a 2024 KTM250XC for my general type of fast and technical singles. It’s a weapon of a bike.. but I’ve been looking for a lightweight adventure bike. Just to head out for a massive day with a few lads .. Have you set up the bike with a Cush drive? It’s worth it if you plan on doing some road kms. There is also a really awesome low auxiliary tank that adds 8L . It means that you leave your standard tank on and keep the weight low

Looks great 👍

Looks like a cracking trip mate 👍🍻

Awesome video mate. Glad to see your back on the bike. Safe journeys out there mate. 👍🍻

I’ve put 570 hours on my 2021 KTM 500. 10,000 miles. The valves have never been checked. Runs perfect. Just change the oil and replace consumables: tires, brake pads, chain, sprockets, and air filter. This is my second KTM Husky 500. My 2016 FE 501 was similarly robust. Forget the naysayers who never owned one. Step up to the best.

great vid dude

Ripper of a vid mate, love the drone shots, the filming and the music and especially the journey. Cheers.

Mint vid 🤘🏻

just orderd the same bags thanks for the heads up

i walked to rossville several times back in the 70s, soon im going to ride it to the top.

And I thought I cant tour on a KTM690 mate your videos are inspiring great work

All that damage is from the floods after Cyclone Jasper at the end of 2023.

Like what you're doing mate. Good format, video, info and all stuff bikes.

Good video mate fuckin nailed it. Keep it up 👍

Bro had an orgasm and crashed.

nice review! good luck with her- ill be getting one soon.

Great video and in depth exploration, My mates and I used to hike across the abandoned railway line and check out the tunnels, at 9:00 we actually did explore down that way and pushing through 1 m high grass and shrubs and it was just way to overgrown, there is only one tunnel back that way it runs directly under the herveys range tearooms we explored it, and the other 4 other times, I did also take my old dirt bike across it starting from the start of the track at yabulu north of Townsville a few years back. Great area I have a lot of fond memories exploring that area

Mate, brand new bike, needs new seat, new tyres, new rear indicators and bigger tank, mmm not very impressed KTM u need to pick ur quality up, especially for the price and what ur saying this bikes capable of. Us Aussie ride and ride hard, so hurry up an get it right. Thanks Ironbark see u on the tracks. 🇦🇺💯

Awesome video. Great trip.

Just came across your channel. Absolutely stunning work, well done man. Did this trip on New Year’s Day this year on the way back home. I spent 6 years in the Towers and explored many cool spots around Ravenswood. The Drone footage was incredible. You have a new subscriber. 🤙

I've got a snowgum blade tent in the mail. Hoping I can go no pegs for that reason 🙏

What I don't understand is how you only have under 500 subscribers something f@#king seriously wrong with KZbin

Nicec work, really enjoyed it. 👍

Great stuff my Aussie friend... I've ridden and raced enduro most of my life and only 16 months ago I was near death on my back for 3 months. Sold all bikes (family requirement😮) eased back in with a healthy scooter purchase lol. Now ready to adventure as they say and have just found your channel with a big Sub!!! Channels like yours have kept me bike enthusiastic and keeping the na sayers away from what I love. Aprilia Tuareg coming up and trips like yours being completed. Nice work my friend and keep them coming 💪🙏👍

Nice one mate 👌

Next time your out that way take the Strathalbyn rd, Tondurra rd back to Gumlu, great ride to get off the black top.

Good stuff, similar weight and how I pack...I like the bivvy idea will give it a go 👍

Mint video 🤘🏻
