What a journey, what an adventure, and what great viewing, need to watch more, brilliant and well done

Does.anyonenknow what happened to the two vehicles and where the leyland brothers got their wheels from

I grew up watching Mike and Mal and now am so grateful to be able to watch them with my own kids. We love to 4WD and camp and this was as expected - both compelling and a note to how soft we are these days! Cheers Andrew for putting this up - much appreciated mate! Dave and family in Sydney

That’s a pace we should do off road you get too see more and chill

I do miss living up there it's a little hard on the wallet for tucker thanks to seaswifts monopoly on transport. But its a great lifestyle

Traduire en Francais.Mercie

Dennis from the Post Master General was smart. He didn’t have balloon radials on his truck.

Good to see that they had their Aussie safety thongs on.

These guys should have swopped their Land Rovers for Toyota Lan Cruisers

EPIC

23:00; That 40 Series wagon must have been a rare beast even then:

11. 1977 ?.

I was born in 1972 so I didn't see this show

Happy dayz……😁👍

impressed!!

Wow! Travelling to cape york 40 years ago was a real challenge. Wondering know if this is your family?

No diff locks, just wheel articulation! Loved it!

Having just completed the old telegraph track in a 2005 land cruiser…. If feel like I cheated! Air conditioning and fridge etc!!! 😂🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 These guys are absolutely legendary.

Aaahhh.. the days when there was no 10 gallon cowboy hat clad and Ipad toting 4X4 "experts"as per wanker shows today teaching us amateurs how it's done...

My wife, our 10 year old son and I ventured up that track way back in 1984 in our short wheel base Toyota. It really was a track back then. One river crossing consisted of a raft made up of 44 gallon drums - one vehicle at a time pushed by as many volunteers who were game enough to go in with the crocodiles!

Loved this whole video, but the best bit is 21:40 showing the age old tradition of a Toyota rescuing a Land Rover lol

Cant do this now unless you own a $140,000 4x4 with a team of people to wash your Vehicle off every 100K,s so you can get mega KZbin shot for likes and expected revenue stream!

Walking through those creek's I was like Crocs for sure.

i don't get what i'm watching?? what's the point?

That was immensely enjoyable. This may have been the catalyst for sponsors to step in. Now its impossible to watch any 4x4 shows.

Boat ?

that was full on awesome

I've got one of these engines in my truck. Are you going to do anything to get more HP and torque? They are underpowered as standard I think. Im considering larger turbo and intercooler, but cannot decide which one to get

This is amazing I’m in awe

How incredibly boring. Nothing about the wildlife or scenery. Just all about their equipment.

I thought this was all crocodile country?

They travelled everywhere with A/C. Remarkable.

Just wondering where was the off-road King TOYOTA LandCruiser at that time ? not born yet ? 😁

I did the Cape in 55’ on a borrowed push bike.

Some serious off roading, and no locking diffs or snorkels!

at theend they had to do an oil change wonder where thy put the old oil

I just love the simplicity of it all back then. I know some of the new gadgets and developments re really useful, but it's great to see how it was done in the early 70's. My family did some trips like this in the early/mid 80's, and it's really nostalgic to watch these old films. Thanks for uploading.

I would love to know what kind of tires they used

Love seeing these nostalgic episodes, and seeing what it was like then. I wasn't even born when they did this trip. It was amusing to learn that in 1972, winches weren't even available to buy off the shelves, as well as tyre puncture repair kits we have now. Goes to show how we 4WDers got it easy now. Thanks for sharing.

Giving it a go

Put that in ya pipe and smoke it 4wd 24/7

We are going back to those times whether you know it or not 🤣. Look at your streets.

When men were men

what an adventure!

My dad bought a lwb safari Landover back in the seventies. It had a straight six Perkins and we could just keep up with the lorry's on the motorway. I remember it had a double skinned roof and a manual cruise control mounted on the dash. I sat in the middle as a six year old and put the cruise control on full going down the A1, it gave my dad quite a scare when he took his foot off the accelerator and it didn't slow down. Needless to say I got a good telling off.

14:14, man! Were thry planning to bring along the Caravans this far?? This was fifty years ago, such tough men no longer exist,dare devil adventurers and explorers. Today's men are spineless wimps,spoilt by Burgers, cheap sex and alcohol who cannot even try crossing the Sahara in an airconditioned super off-road 4x4 Torsus Praetorian luxury motor home. Hats off to the guys in this video!
