Cave Camping in an Australian River Paradise

Join me for a solo wild camping trip where I explore a river rich in both history and beauty and abundant in wildlife. I find an epic cave to camp in and have a go at fishing for carp. This was a super fun trip. Hope you enjoy it.

Great video! My go-to fish line hook knot is the polymer knot. Quick and strong. Thanks for taking is into the Australian bush it's beautiful

[@glendadowe]

You have a good heart Scotty !

[@kaisfishin9124]

Great video, keep up the good work. How do you find all these amazing areas where you are allowed to camp and have fires? I have been trying to find a place where I can go bushwalking and camp but to no avail.

[@leecoates6524]

you should invest in some night motion cameras so you can see what animals come near you while you sleep

[@mitchellgroat7987]

From an Aboriginal man, I love your classy nods to culture and your obvious appreciation and care for the land and water. You're doing amazing stuff mate.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks a lot mate. Appreciate it.

[@Moldevite]

Year ago today I landed in Australia for the first time. My son emigrated 5 years ago had not seen him and his wife and our first grandson for 4 years. He is on his way to taking Aussie citizenship. Scotty your making a old Pom very happy with your videos. He has embraced all Australia has to offer and I now know why he loves AU so much. Keep em coming mate…

[@jamesmyers777]

The sight of the campfire, with the sound of currawongs above, amazing

[@terris7842]

That poor wombat, but the little Willy Wagtail was really sweet. This video was just what I needed tonight. Thank you!😊

[@impcgaming6560]

Thanks for sharing your trip this was a good one, can't wait for the next one! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@perrykomick9478]

Another Douc#e who thinks they need to announce .."I am Canadian"😂

[@maxt7525]

As a person of colour I say may we always pay our respects to our great Australian, European and British pioneers and explorers who have made our great country what it is today…….Australia is for all Australians, always was always will be ❤️🇦🇺

[@saikoxaol]

Hey Scotty, this was the first video I saw of you. I don't know what I was more enthusiastic about, whether it was the location that left me speechless because it was so incredibly beautiful, or whether it was your likeable charisma and gentle way of speaking. How you report about nature, the indigenous people and your thinking really got me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Warm greetings from Germany. Light and love for you! 🙏

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks so much for the kind words mate. Really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the vid.

[@christopherloft8240]

Wonderful footage. Thanks for sharing. Watching from the UK. Please keep spoiling us with your adventures. Stay safe.

[@petrolhead1980]

Yet another cracking video Scotty! It’s my monthly dose of pure relaxation. I know that you don’t like to pinpoint exact locations in order to not spoil the area, however it would be great if you could give a rough idea where each place you travel to is for those that don’t know whereabouts you are in Oz, or for those looking to make their own adventure that like that particular terrain or style of walk.

[@mariac9582]

I have said before I would have loved a brother like Scotty so grounded and a real knowledgeable guy who respects the land and the true origins of Australia always acknowledging the aboriginal people and their long historical link to the land. ❤

[@soundslikesweeney]

Thanks as always for bringing this glorious wilderness to us. I've been watching all your videos over the past couple of months ... am almost caught up! Keep up your amazing work. I for one appreciate all the effort you go to to bring us these amazing videos. Especially the 4am starts! :)

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks so much mate. Really appreciate it. Glad you enjoy them.

[@flash2mc]

I’d be getting out my neoprene socks for those crossings! Incredible spot. Rare to come across meadows like that. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

Time to grab a beer 🍺🇭🇲❤️👍

[@sanguliedzuvichu2816]

The reason why I always come to watch your videos is that you appreciate everything that's around you and that makes me so glad. It just makes us feel like we're over there too.❤

[@nicolewtsn]

They were some fussy fish 😂. That cave was cool, but that second camp spot was gorgeous. The wildlife was so abundant. Thanks for taking us on your adventures.

[@lanecountybigfooters5716]

What a beautiful forest and campsites! I will never get to Australia, but I love visiting through your videos. Cheers!

[@dennislindenpellinge]

Thanks for a nice video! 👍Beautiful nature ! 💚Greetings from Finland's southern archipelago!😃

[@tinamcdougall4506]

Thanks for sharing another great adventure with us. Beautiful scenery and wildlife, so well captured. We love playing, where's Scotty filming from 😂

[@AdieBek]

Those marks on the rocks where the local mob had been sharping their tools were really cool Scotty. You can just imagine them sitting their living their lives - spear fishing and hunting. It would have been a beautiful place to live.

[@beereal5107]

Thank you again Scotty, your videos always lift and remind me that the World is still a good place.

[@juliee9516]

Always nice to have a sunny day over winter. The grooves in stone for tools was awesome.

[@lolcatz88]

I never want your videos to end! Such beautiful scenery and wildlife. I haven’t been able to get away for a single camping trip this year, but I’m planning one for September to Blackdown Tablelands in Queensland. I can’t wait!🏕️

[@ayou4525]

You can feel the humbleness coming out of this guy well done mate I wish I can do what you do

[@rochellebooth6874]

Love it love it love it!! The exploring, the cave camping, the gourmet meals under the stars... thanks for sharing and feeding my adventure addiction 🤩

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

I hate to admit it. But its a min, since I watched your videos. Gotta say your editing, content and cinematography has gotten professional. Well done.

[@PedroThai]

Gday Scotty, wow what an amazing vlog. U capture the real Australia and it's times like these that I can reflect on home while Im overseas with these brilliant videos, cheers scotty

[@Wing_It_Wildflower]

The elusive and fussy carp, 😆sheesh! Loving all the birds and what a special place! Very relaxing🙏

[@bradmitchell2505]

Pretty special to capture that Lyrebird man! Well done!

[@TheTutuvatu]

Thank you Scotty for sharing this and the beauty of Aussie country. Love all your posts and always looking out for new ones. Enjoying this from Honolulu, Hawaiʻi

[@dylanthesametimerrxgalaxie8535]

Man my favourite part of your Chanel is the food

[@omaverick2870]

The place is so nice it looks man made and yeah it looks like a park. Amazing. Im sure i'm not gonna get to experience it first hand ever in my lifetime but atleast i can see it through a screen. so thank you for sharing it with us Scotty. Cheers from Singapore

[@tomcockle8237]

Travelling through South America at the minute and having the odd homeswick spell. Your videos are always what I go to when I need to remind myself what’s waiting at home for me. Cheers Scotty!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks mate. Enjoy your time in South America. I spent 6 months travelling there a few years back.

[@thomasspainhour1112]

Thanks for sharing your adventures, NC USA 🇺🇸

[@slowbrownfox]

I cooked your gnocchi with zucchini and pumpkin with roasted almonds. OMG totally amazing. Thank you for this! Great vids man keep it up.

[@salehal-ghamdi1329]

Thank you for this very relaxing video

[@craig2795]

Totally blown away by the scenery on this one Scotty. I still have mixed views on seeing the invasive wild pigs but the rest was the best you could ever ask for 👍

[@charlesbloomfield222]

Brilliant Scotty. I regularly watch your videos to zone out to, its the next best thing I can do for a quick fix to all my stresses of the day. 👏

[@timchilman]

Loved it.

[@kevinkrause744]

Beautiful!

[@bradprescott7865]

Love your vids mate, regular TV is dying for a reason. I know what I’d rather tune in to 🙌🏼

[@randyhiggins9635]

Another great trip !

[@andrewpolzin8489]

Just stunning. Thank you

[@rodgeorge7244]

Beautiful spot Scotty our country is a wondrous place from the outback deserts to the great divide and everything in between I love it all and I have been lucky enough to see a huge amount of this land.

[@sjostedtmarcus]

Great vid as always!

[@dannywombat1216]

Great video! Thanks for making

[@Lina49391]

wow, incredible place

[@OutdoorSilence]

Great trip & amazing landscapes😍

[@Wattsy3006]

Another great video man

[@MrWalko]

So envious with your spots mate. Up here in Queensland they won't let us camp anywhere except the handful of paid sites, and they usually aren't fantastic. It makes me very tempted to get a couple of mates and drive down into northern NSW for a couple of days.

[@eileencrabtree411]

Always love your videos - thank you

[@Jaasper.S]

I was at this river just the other day! Such a special spot, and so many creatures!

[@Jim-yk9zw]

What river is it? Seems many of the potential places to access rivers around Sydney anyway are always private property and locked gates.

Beautiful place!

[@garymoyle1988]

Great video Scotty 👍 Thanks mate 😀

[@Alfie127]

Great Video. Cheers!

It seems to me like things might be a little tough for you at the moment. I hope you're okay bro. Take care of yourself. ❤

Love your work Scotty!🤠🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

[@peter-robinson]

maybe it’s time to start some cold water immersion - 8 degrees is a nice refresher after a long hike :-)

Your dinner looked delicious, 😋 I need to get the ingredients and make myself .. When you woke up on the sandy beach, how cool and real Aussie was that magpie sound first thing in the morning.. Catch you on the next video Scotty, stay safe out there 🏕🐟

[@Andyb2379]

Oh man, it just gets more & more beautiful mate. Spring is on its way to you buddy. Stunningly beautiful country.

[@tracker5849]

Enchanting..magical.. peaceful...amazing forest

[@duckman12569]

Tried out my hammock for the first time today, had it for like 6 months. Who would have thought getting off the grass would get you away from like 90% of the ants? But yeah, mid winter; clear skies :)

[@garathjacob526]

Thanks for sharing, just made my Sunday arvo complete!

[@mattyranger5565]

Great video mate. Thoroughly enjoyed it 👌

It doesn't help with the temperature, but I carry a pair of Crocs on a caribeener on my pack for river crossings, and to wear with socks around camp.

Great spot!
