4x4 and Camping in Australia | The Canning Stock Route | Solo Across the Worlds Longest 4WD Track

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

There's only 1 thing worse than corrugations.........& that's something smelling good in the travel buddy!! Yes, VKS737 is a radio club (I'm a member of Australian HF Touring Club which enables me to use my HF radio over 19 frequencies (incl. the RFDS) for $80per year other wise you need the minimum of a foundation Ham licence to transmit on HF. I also can make phone calls, text & plot GPS positions via it. Not a Sat phone but some old school tech that I love. There's something about the romance of radio even though I haven't used it much the last few years! Another great video, I've been looking forward to this series. All the tracks I want to do, the Anne Beadell, the Connie Sue, the Canning etc etc the missus just said, "well, pay off all your debts & lets GO!!!" (I wish!!) As usual, can't wait till next Friday, but all the relows are arriving from Qld & NSW for Christmas so it might have to wait. A Merry Christmas to you Terry & Jill & t also to the other Jaffa's we haven't seen in a bit, that make up some of your great videos. Catch you in the next one!! P.S. we always have fly nets for "Justin" (I guess you know him, Justin Case 🤣) Cheers!!

I’m glad you shared your musings about the HF radio, I know very little about the network. Have an amazing holiday break a Rod. The video release will be a little patchy over the next few weeks, so you may not even miss one. Thanks for riding shotgun with us on this trip mate, we sincerely appreciate it 👍😎

[@ervinslens]

So enchanting! Really makes you want to get out there and into the outdoors. Bravo

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks mate, it is an amazing part of the country 👍😎

[@VenidiciRobidici]

"Hey, Lizard, eat the flies off my face". Classic! hehe If only someone learnt how to generate power from flies youd have no problem ever here in Outback Oz. Great vid

[@JafffaAdventures]

Not wrong mate, we are sitting on a gold mine with the flies if we can only monetise them somehow🤣😎

[@robdotcom71]

Awesome start guys...... shame about those bloody flies though.....

[@JafffaAdventures]

Yep they were next level, but thankfully dropped off in numbers as we left the cattle country. Cheers👍😎

[@andrewford80]

Really like your style. Very funny and entertaining

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Andrew, that’s very kind of you to say. I trust you will continue with us all the way across the Canning, but if not thanks again for dropping by and go well mate. Cheers😎👍

[@andrewford80]

@@JafffaAdventures just watching part 2 :) hope you guys get some fly nets at some point !

[@JafffaAdventures]

lol, definitely coming up mate😎👍

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

We have tried to get to Wiluna twice but haven't made it yet. You are brave doing the Canning on your own. I don't think I would try that but then our 90 series os 20 years old now :) The route - root thing is a bit odd. We say root for a journey but router for the internet connection box. All depends on what the ear is used to hearing I guess. You need a hat with a fly net on it for when those pesky critters get too numerous. Great video as always, very enjoyable.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks for the kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed our little production. You will see throughout the series I flip flop between route and root, but pretty much end up back where I started, route🤪. Have a great holiday season mate, cheers👍😎

[@michaelnoyes4817]

Merry Xmas mate

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Michael. I trust you will have an amazing holiday season. Go well👍😎

[@danielb8901]

Thanks Terry and Jill I look forward to your travels every week. Merry Christmas to you both.😃

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Daniel, I trust you will have an amazing holiday season. Cheers👍😎

[@craigjensen4179]

So remote. Geez those shots of the suspension going over the corrugations are scary. Doubt my arb suspension would handle that for long 😅

[@JafffaAdventures]

It’s pretty full on when you get to see it doing its thing close up. I’d never want to be a shock or spring, that’s for sure 😂👍

[@rickhall7180]

VKS737 is a HF radio network

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Rick, I was on the money with my guess😉😎

[@BTBSean0]

G'Day Terry and Jill , watching the seriers again as I plan for our trip nxt yr ....When did you guys travel the canning

[@JafffaAdventures]

Awesome mate, glad you found this a useful resource. We were out there for the month June and early July. Cheers👍😎

[@BTBSean0]

[@carlgunther5163]

Thanks Terry and Jill I look forward to your travels every week - hows the fuel economy going?

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Carl, that’s very kind of you to say. Fuel economy is very consistent with my 200. Around 13 l/100km highway, 15 l/100km dirt, and 25 l/100km in soft sand. I don’t tow so cannot comment on that. Cheers 👍😎

[@carlgunther5163]

thanks - so is that the fuel economy on the canning - 15l/100kms?@@JafffaAdventures

[@JafffaAdventures]

On the sandy sections 25, dirt 15. Over the entire length it averaged around 23. Cheers

[@frankguernier2280]

Hi guys. I don't think we have Bustard birds in Australia. They are probably Bush Turkey's. Cheers.

[@JafffaAdventures]

This is what I found on the Google machine mate and the picture of them looks the same👍 The Australian Bustard lives on dry plains, grasslands and open woodlands, and they favour tussock and hummock grasslands. Occasionally they are seen in modified habitat areas such as farmlands and golf courses.

[@kristineharrower7813]

Hi guys, looked like a great trip. Can you please tell me was that a Hema map you used?

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks for the kind words mate, I sincerely appreciate it. We were using the Exploroz traveller app, it’s a cracker. Cheers👍😎

[@arnomoolman6780]

Starting a petition for uncle Terry to resume rebuilding the HJ45

[@JafffaAdventures]

It’s tough when I’m enjoying all this traveling 👍😎

[@mcake1234]

Why is Waluna a sad town?

[@JafffaAdventures]

Because it has a lot of challenges
