Awesome video, I work in the oldest running coal mine in Australia, 131 yrs old this year, and is awesome walking around in there and seeing dozens of the old original wooden mine carts that were pushed on the rails and all the old equipment used, amazing bit of history

[@robertrodgers1423]

Gorgeous scenery as usual. Thanks for not being formulaic and hyping up the serious nature of the damage with elevated music and hyperbole. Handle it like a normal man, this is the situation, this is how I solve it. Thanks for sharing.

[@jcv551]

The jinx from the Jeep has rubbed off on your cruiser Ronny. Great series guys.

[@bayselec]

That sick in your guts feeling when you know something bad has happened. Great series look forward to seeing your next trip...

[@lastknownlocation8760]

Great series Ronnie. Thanks Amalia for all your great work. Well there WERE heaps of bats sleeping. I think you woke them up. I can’t wait until you get rid of the trailer.........

[@DonsShed]

Onya Ronny and Gang :) this was a fantastic series :) It's was nice to catch up with you yesterday at the Caravan and Camper Megastore/Patriot Campers Open Day Ronny :) Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

[@jonathans9537]

That copper mine bat cave was rad! In the words of Wayne, “ feels good when you find old things like this”. Thanks again Ronny and Crew!

[@Dylan_Scott]

Ronny - thoroughly impressed with theis series and it was really inspiring to see SA get put on display in this way. Many tourism programs will only show a snippet or a 15-minute feature, but I feel these 6-part series really allowed myself as a viewer, to get lost in the adventure with your crew. As a South Aussie, I've still not been to the Flinders Ranges, but only 3-weeks ago bought our first 4x4 and so no doubt this will be on the list (though we may opt for some of the more moderate tracks until we find out feet). I've been educating myself as much as possible and loading up on a lot of your older vids, along with some of the more popular guys doing their shows out there, and I'm really grateful that there is so much honest information out there that you guys are willing to share with the public. I missed out catching you and the crew at the recent 4x4/Camping show in rads, but will be sure to put the next one in the calendar. Keep the videos coming, love it!

[@Dylan_Scott]

P.S. I should add my first mods were all recovery and based on safety: snatch straps, bridle, soft-shackles, dampener, pressure gauge and compressor, tred pros, and the rear tow-bar winch point (your tow-ball warning vids were heard loud and clear). My wife is in control of the first-aid kit and after all that I still had a little left over for some nice goodies for extra storage and light. But I want to stress how much your videos on safety and recovery have resonated with an inexperienced 4x4er like myself. While it may sound naive, I at least feel I have much more of a clue on what to do when I get off-road, compared to those who just drive a new fourbie out the showroom with having given a thought to researching the process.

[@jimbojones2457]

What a top series! Lucky you made it home on one wheel drive. Good end result but i can imagine how it put a damper on the trip for everyone. Loved this series especially as i'm heading to the Flinders Ranges at Easter for the first time and i'm pumped. Keep'em coming Ronny!!

Phew mate those tracks just look so fun to drive!!!!!! Gotta get up to Flinders again Especially since.I live in Adelaide....

[@JimMcNabb44]

Hi Ronny it's a bugger limping home I went from Queensland down to Victoria on a front diff and I was crapping my self all the way home, towing a trailer would have been a major stress event, but hay that's part of the fun when 4x4ing in Australia, it's not just the place you go it's the hole trip the good and bad bits make each trip a fun

[@michalpeterizeboud3402]

Do you take any safety precautions when entering a deserted mine like that? For example, I'd say to always leave someone outside in case of emergency, he/she can seek assistance. Maybe also take water/food packet with when entering for survival in case.

[@lsajetnz]

Michal Peter Izeboud yes gas/oxygen detector testing....

[@azizlenox]

You need a Unimog 😄. Great video as usual

[@auandrewd]

Always a pleasure to watch .

[@dirtydaddy21]

another good series. if you enjoy mines so much, next time you are in SA check out the gold mines at Waulkaringa about 27 ks north of Yunta. there is a ruin of an old pub there and a chimney plus a lot of disused gold mines across the back of the hills behind the chimney. if you take the right mine you can go all the way down until you hit the water level. well worth the detour. it is also the back way to Arkaroola which goes close to lake from and past a few old station houses.

[@peterbeaty7649]

South OZ has been over looked for decades...but we like that!

great trip Ronny and team, great to see you determination to see that mine shaft

[@aussieboomer-theturtoncrew6996]

Awesome series, keep em coming..

[@michaelcook5233]

Ronny - after this series and the other video talking about how you drove home with it broken and then fixing the axle.... if you were to do it the same again, would you? after gaining "special permission" to tow the trailer on the track, next time would you leave it behind for the drive? interesting to hear your thoughts

[@yorkchris10]

Excellent adventure.

[@South_Cart]

on ya ronald and the crew, crackin a ginger beer now keen to see this through thanks again bud

[@nabob14]

Awesome vid series again! Thanks for showing us around aussie land! Get Torbin a new sticker for inside his drivers door... still has the old Western Australia sticker!

[@utterden]

Great video as usual. Well done!

[@brentbat]

Hey Ronny, I just came across your channel. I'm adventure bike rider researching the Flinders and this series was GOLD. Loved the cinematography.... Really great stuff. Loved your drone work. PS. Have you seen the Skydio drones? I've got one in Aus and they rock!

[@larjkok1184]

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. If it is broke, don’t fix it. 😎

[@lowlifescum]

Great series mate .. short and sweet .. SA does get overlooked .. I live here .. originally from Vic .. it’s a beautiful part of the country and worth a look. Desert Outback meets beach

[@lowlifescum]

Simon Franklin haha thanks mate it’s a way of life

[@alexandermel9987]

Great series Ronny. 👍🏾🇵🇬

32:40 I like the smooth transition from day to evening

[@morethan3756]

You need to get rabies shots everytime you're struck by a bat, especially if it's in the eye or if it breaks the skin. But seeing that this happened more than a year ago, you are safe, as that is the maximum incubation period for rabies. Just a safety tip from a longtime follower.

[@dantheman5222]

Tank's man! Agreed SA is very well worth having a look on ya trip around OZ

[@natehowell793]

Love it.

[@mondohamster5702]

So Project Black can now be turfed for a "day snacks and water" cabinet such that the trailer can stay behind in future. What is in that trailer that required it to be dragged to the mine? Wondering if understanding of the "no trailers" rules has occurred. You were fortunate Torbs didn't damage his rig dragging your brick trailer. I'd suggest the property owner was not amused.

[@joshjones887]

He said he got permission to take the trailer.

[@maxcole1961]

Good one guys ...............

[@matejhosner1980]

Very nice episode!

[@CliveWebbAustralia]

After finding a couple of dismembered kangaroo in an abandon mine, I was expecting Mick Taylor to be waiting to greet the happy travelers as they exited the shaft...

THANK YOU FOR DETAIL VIDEO AS GREAT WATCHING SEE WHAT IN BEAUTY AUSTRALIA BUSH

[@outbacknomad9939]

Ronny. Great show honest show great crew. The hole to much speed an yes I'm blaming the HOLE an weight all coming down on one spot up a hill. Always a good show.. U could fit a pootrol diff under the rear they realy are unbrakeble

[@philipw7557]

Nice one guys great series 😎

[@Brennomac83]

I would have just pulled the cap to see if the shafts were good. Only a few bolts and it eliminates a lot of guess work.

[@gumundurpetur9114]

7:43 Wayne has the biggest grin on his face driving that hill. It says; pfft this is easy without the half ton anker behind!

[@ianmoore4327]

Ronny I know you don't like talking about vehicle weights, but how much weight do you think you have transferred from your truck to your trailer?

[@ToyBJ]

The worse part of any noise or breakage is the not knowing and wanting to rip it down and find out why ! , good to see you at the Patriot launch to mate .

[@youtubejunkie6370]

Hey ronny you should have parked her up and jumped in one of the other guys vehicle and saved your vehicle to see the mine. Harsh country in summer guys hope you had plenty of water anyway great vid guys

[@xerotao]

5 people and only 4 seats. That wont work

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Cracking video mate looks like a great time out your vehicles look mint atvb jimmy 😎 😎

[@simonking9891]

Great series as always. The 79 is the strongest there is but towing extra 2 tonne over rough 4wd too much extra load on any vehicle. Eventually something gotta give.

[@LoneWolf-zw5yn]

Thanks again, Wayne you crack me up, that was the most awkward cya I've seen in a long time 😉

[@mrmarkus7181]

[@chrisrippon6176]

great stuff mate

[@nevyn9050]

I almost felt guilty there after asking you the question in Adelaide .........."Ever not got home from a trip?" Too hear of a broken axle.

[@oysterjohn5669]

Get a little UV torch. Great for mines and for finding scorpions.

[@GoatOffroad]

Sorry about the ‘crunch’ ! Still a great video!! Cheers 🍻 from the Bug!

[@TheSkskitey]

The mine was well and truly worth the effort . In hindsight maybe you should have left the trailer behind before going to the mine , all that extra strain on the diff but i suppose it would have let go sometime :-)

[@Chris_Z.]

Is there a video coming of the damage and repairs after getting back to WA?

[@Dirtbox666]

Chris Z it’s already out mate.

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

No map, lol, car's buggered and tired as all balls, 3 days to get home, on ya mate.

[@gasperajdnik5627]

👍🎥-Eksolent video

[@adams2984]

Anyone know what flew out from under Ronny’ vehicle at the 5:56 minute mark?

[@Dylan_Scott]

Thought that too but I'm pretty sure seeing as the shaft is inside the axle, I'm pretty sure it was just a bit of rock(s) that shot out from the bottom of the tire as it landed.

[@johnfrancisvillamor9882]

That trailer needs to be dipped in oil! It's creaking like an old door hinge!

[@Sean-id1pn]

👍🏻

[@philsymons9614]

At 5:54 there is a projectile, could that be the piece that went bad? or is it just a convenient rock.....

[@fuckoff299]

Hi Ronny, what was the outcome of the damage to the rear of your truck??

[@Pauly82]

Worst case scenario you could of got it fixed at Port Augusta. Shame you didn’t have more time because there’s heaps to see up there.

[@Razor32061]

he needs to get a beefy ford axle put in the rear.

[@mikehzz9848]

Next time, just pack your lunch, not the kitchen. It wouldn't have happened without the trailer.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

I reckon the axle was already twisted and would have gone at a later date anyway. Just glad it was on the final day and not halfway

[@Engineer9736]

I vote against ditching the trailer. Ronny’s channel is more about the Australian outback experience rather than hardcore 4WD. The trailer adds to the experience by having good camps and testing products. For hardcore 4WD (get bogged, unbog, repeat) we have the 4WD Action channel.

[@mikehzz9848]

It's a cool trailer, I like it and I tow an off road trailer myself, but, I reckon steep tracks with wombat holes are always a concern where extra weight is involved. The weight of the trailer is so much more up hill than along the flat. You only have to push a car to know that. It's easy to push a car on a flat road, but try pushing it up even a slight incline. Those Flinders tracks are steep. Keep the trailer.......in camp.

[@dengels1957]

towing a trailer is bad news, I don`t care what anyone says, sorry

[@bigfella6629]

Agreed

[@larjkok1184]

It’s good news if you need the stuff that’s in that trailer.

[@EvanMoon]

He toes the trailer because all of the video equipment is in his truck taking up space

[@brycejames8770]

If the rear CV on a Pajero with rear locker breaks, how can the car be driven? Would be good to know what the options are for these vehicles.

[@MrDunk66]

Thanks Andy!

[@tbillington]

What do Wayne and Torben do for a crust? Do they just work normal jobs and take leave for these trips?

[@philsymons9614]

Ive wondered the same, I reckon Torben is a like a feral pest exterminator (modifed ep 1, lots of lights and high powered rifle with lots of precision sights)

[@P1980-n7v]

I think Torben's a sparky. Hence money's no object! Hah ha.

You need to go through an inspection when you go from state to state?

[@bernardnazgul5254]

Generally only for fruit and vegetables. fruit fly can be a problem

[@Engineer9736]

Yes, but i don’t think fruit flies are the problem. It’s probably because of more serious pests that may be on fruits and food. If the quarantine has any use is a different subject though. Airplanes come and go by the thousands every hour all around the world, so if lack of quarantine would be an issue, it would have been proven long time ago.

[@photohiker01]

I wouldn't drive across WA from Flinders with a broken axle. Would be easy to limp down to Hawker in Flinders and see Chris's Mechanic at Hawker and have the axle sorted. As soon as there is a rear problem, find out what is wrong by inspecting it and remove the broken pieces, and then immediately contect Jmacx to deliver the axle to Chris at Hawker. Would then probably save the diff.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Damage was done already did a video just on this

[@photohiker01]

@@Ronny_Dahl Yes, there was damage in your rear axle on the Flinders trip. You didn't know what exact the problem was then. You showed us you didn't know. The best way of how to move forward is to pull it apart as soon as you can. Remove the broken parts even if you want to keep driving with the broken parts removed. Leaving broken parts will wreck the rest of the parts and possible leave the vehicle on the side unable to move.
