[@kgsz]

You singlehandedly do more to promoting Australia's wild side than all your federal and state governments combined. Thanks so much for this amazing journey, and keep exploring!

[@olibrown8601]

Ailanthus altissima, common name Tree of heaven. Introduced invasive. Great vid mate.

[@ayarottilsandeep545]

Hi, Am from India, so much to say about your videos..... Your each video of 35 to 45 mins is just mesmerizing. I feel peaceful and in different world when I watch those video. Or during this chaotic life style I choose your video to find peace... Amazing views, amazing ambiance, amazing mother nature but all together with your audio makes the video a unforgettable and calm minded for me. I love Australia more than i used to after watching your video. Buddy thanks and wish u all the best to make million more such videos. Thanks Thank you so much.

[@tracker5849]

1000% agree

[@belindaf70]

We live in such a beautiful country. Indigenous energy is so powerful when you’ve found a quiet little gem. Appreciate that you pay respect to those that walked before you 🙏💞 Nature .. she definitely got the goods. Love your work Scotty 👍🏻

[@thebiglimey]

Be a gate keeper, there are too many places that get overrun and trashed by the masses. If someone truly wants to find solitude and an adventure like yours, they'll find it. Keep up the good work, love the videos!

[@randallkelley3599]

Sox over the shoes to keep out critters, great idea. Never forget that!!!

[@teeflo2757]

beauty outing Scotty! keep the ‘stache, peel the salami if it’s not a PITA to do so, and defo keep the locations to yourself: you’re not the Tourist Information Centre. you’re a bushcrafter and a vlogger and I say “job well done”. 👍

[@jeanwatson189]

Not gatekeeping, anybody with transport and a bit of gear can go to a NP and do what you're doing if they are fit and motivated enough. You're not stopping anybody going anywhere!

[@zzrhardy]

It's not gatekeeping when you tell people how you find places. We all have the same tools you have, and might even find better places for ourselves.

[@kevinkitchen3351]

Scotty, I've got 30 years in front of you & still enjoy the bush. Show what can be found & help people understand the joy of connecting with country. Nothing wrong with being a gatekeeper. Too many times I've seen the results of when a 'Mr Spill the Beans' do articles on a beautiful location and its destroyed by those who don't respect what was there. Sometimes I come home after a trip only to say to family, don't go back out there, just remember the way it was. You're doing a top job of showing country & recognising the first nation lands.

[@timdawes4968]

24:48 - Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altisima) very definitely a weed 26:24 - Looks like Giant Reed (Arundo) also very definitely a weed

[@chrissysmith3888]

This place not only echos the still used Cooee call of Australia, but truly brings the heart back to Mother Earth in all her splendor. Deep bow to the Aboriginal tribes who still hold true to the ancient ways and preserve our countries precious land and it's stories. And thank you Scotty, for sharing your experiences, showing everyone how to enjoy but respect time with Mother Nature, leaving gentle footprints without the need to destruct. It truly is a beautiful place.💙

[@distinctfilms]

Ive just discovered your channel. As a physically disabled filmmaker I can mostly just daydream about filming on walkabouts. But now thanks to your videos I can imagine what it's like, such amazing places!

[@susanalbone5101]

I think the ‘shrub’ might be The Tree of Heaven. It’s an invasive species which grows 10-15 ft each year and originates from China and Taiwan. It’s leaves smell like peanuts or rotting cashews. The seed pods spin to the ground when they fall enabling easy dispersion. Don’t quote me but it’s the nearest thing I could find. Dorset, UK

[@emf333]

Another great film, Scotty. Respect for keeping the wild places secret.

[@haydaral-ali8612]

As much as I want to ask where that is I can agree with you we need to keep these beautiful spots a secret 🤫

[@johnkorhonen5452]

Secrets best kept from dropkick bogans who leave all the garbage with no concerns about the pristine environment.All the bush tracks around the major cities have barricades because of junk dumping idiots.And like that tyre, get washed into creeks and floods eventually takes them to rivers and so on.Onya Scotty for not revealing the location.

[@karnosadventures6599]

I agree, same goes for them special fishing holes

[@johnkorhonen5452]

@Henny I referred only the ”dropkick” bogans as my fishing mate is a bogan and proud of it. Him and I always pick up crap left behind at our favourite fishing spots. Sorry if you misunderstood the term used.

[@pmue437]

no Snakes, Crocs or Spiders?

[@mackeycharli256]

Thanks for keeping tight lipped about these places. Would hate to see some of these spots crowded with Jet Skis and AMG C63’s.

[@billcotton1551]

Scotty ,next time you go there ,bring your fly rod, you should be able to catch those carp on a wooly worm. You will have a blast!

[@adrianp2007]

FULL respect for keeping them to yourself. If people want to find B E A UTIFUL places like these......, they will!

[@RavenWolf11]

I love our country we all share ❤️ We are so blessed 🙌 totally awesome 👌 MY FAMILY LOVE YOUR ADVENTURES. WELL done your filming 🎥 is exceptional 👏. Thanks for all the HAPPINESS 😊 YOU BRING with you.

[@janberge7014]

You make us so happy, so many on you tube get too corny after a while. You are so genuine, don't ever vhange, we in the upper US love you

[@adamcooper7444]

Yes Scotty, fully respect that you keep those places private, if people want to discover those places, like you said, they need to put in the hard yards too.

[@JayJay-oh1tw]

That bird was probably pissed off that a bipedal had discovered its secret spot, hahaha. Keep up the good work mate!

[@ERIKOFFTRACK]

What a magical place that is Scotty! An absolutely cracking find. I totally agree about not sharing locations. It's not like the old days when only a relatively small group of people would discover and visit places through bushwalking clubs or guide books. The internet has changed that. In any event, there are still gems like that out there and it's so much more rewarding to put the hard work in and find your own way. Cheers mate.

[@susansmeeton4321]

I agree Scotty, a lot of my little hideaway campsites have been put onto social media and have become crowded and dirty. Keep your places safe and clean

[@dubemccready7438]

This area is absolutely bloody gorgeous & the bird song is just delicious too. Would loved to see the wombat in his natural habitat, the rock formation which would give awesome shelter is available everywhere along this creek/river. just so good.

[@rebeccadelbridge2998]

Absolutely beautiful. We are the luckiest people on earth, living in Australia. Just always be wary of flash floods when camping near creek beds. Make sure you have a fast exit to higher ground always. Our country is beautiful, but unpredictable. X

[@randyhiggins9635]

always worth watching several times just to watch the peace it brings to me !!!! thanks!

[@lynnemaree8346]

Another great video! Just a suggestion, could you leave in a bit of the night filming, around the camp fire, a view of the stars and any animals you may see. Thanks for sharing.

[@Rhythm911]

Too right. If they want to find a place like that., Let them get off the couch and go find them on their own !!! :D

[@bryanchang6299]

A magnificent epic created by wind, water, and time. Praise for your footage...!

[@AmyOutdoors]

Love your comment about supporting National Parks mate! Too right, unfortunately 😕

[@camd3673]

Scotty, not only do you have the best content covering our beautiful Australian landscapes, but you seem like such a lovely bloke too! Big respect and appreciation for the acknowledgement of traditional owners of the land at the beginning and during your videos also! Keep up the amazing work mate! Looks incredible! :)

[@atsiepxs471]

Thank you Scotty for all your beautiful videos. They are so relaxing to watch. Can't help but appreciate mother nature. Your calm tone and personality makes it more wonderful to experience. Thank you.

[@56932982]

There is an other reason to keep those places "secret": It forces people to be creative and find there own "secret" places.

[@Ptmence]

Scotty, could you do a video about how you find your locations? I know you like to keep the locations a secret. So I'd like tips on how to find spots of my own. Thanks mate, love the videos!

[@dude2134561]

This is exactly what I wanted too!

[@tbillington]

Get on Google Earth, and start looking around. Look for waterways that are miles away from any sort of road/track.

[@TheOccasionalNomad]

Hey Scotty, another great spot mate. The first weed is tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima). The second one is giant reed (Arundo donax).

[@markchung1910]

Great vid as usual mate. That plant looks like a Tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) which is an invasive species and regarded as an environmental weed in Australia.

[@JasonMcCannLover]

Beautiful spot, great grub and wash it down with a little G&T. You are living like a king. Cheers from Newfoundland Canada.

[@blockchain_proponentm.9977]

I could hands down spend a week in the place like that leaving tomorrow if not for my 7yo daughter who eats the internet. The pain is real.

[@jbrower760]

That plant looks like Tree of Heaven

[@Andyb2379]

4 minutes in & wow. Looks like it’s the land time forgot.

[@michaelnoakes8566]

Another outstanding job brother; thanks for showing this to us. You mentioned someone calling you a gate keeper; then so be it; you're absolutely doing the right thing. Here in the United States we are loosing access to so many places that once were free, due to disrespectful people wrecking things for us all. Those that really have the love will do as you do and search and find these places on their own, then only share them with the Creator who made them as you have done.

[@gigi3242]

The scenery reminds me so much of Northern Arizona. I'm fairly old, when I was a child the places were wild, and quiet; now, they are crawling with people. Keep your secrets, protect the wild places. Thank you for sharing the adventure, but yes, keep these places sacred.

[@paddyfriend3999]

reminds me of my childhood in the 70s and 80s. I grew up around Umina Beach and my mates and I used to go into the bush and find sand stone caves like these all the time, sometimes we would sleep there in our sleeping bags for the night.

[@wastelandwarrior9738]

Sounds amazing.

[@michaelellert4982]

I moved over seas from Australia a few years ago and miss it every day. You encompass every aspect of what I miss in your videos. The fishing, Hiking, Camping and just exploring the serenity of the Australian bush. I have been very fortunate to have been able to explore parts of the Pilbara region in WA. highly highly recommend it if you ever have a chance. Love your work mate!

[@laurencetilley9194]

I have watched almost all your videos Scotty, and this location is by far the most beautiful. It reminds me of the western Kimberley in WA

[@loydtruss]

Absolutely loved this video, never knew that Australia had caves and rock formations as you have shown us. May I make a suggestion when you go back and I know you will----carry your fly rod and tie on a small black or brown bug with legs and watch the carp attack it? A little movement of the fly will get a reaction---thanks for sharing

[@tracker5849]

I never thought much of Australia before I "met" you. I thought it just red dirt ..wild..over grown with dangerous animals. You have opened a whole NEW WORLD. ITS AMAZING!! each place you take us is more unreal and amazing than the last. This place looks like a Disney movie. THANK YOU!!!! wish I were younger I would love to visit your world

[@jonwilson6077]

It's so much more rewarding to research and discover these locations than what is it to be baby fed them

[@mezanian]

In the first 2 minutes all I could think about was a Violet Crumble, those honeycomb colour rocks. I have a piece of the Hawkesbury, a doorstop size, that brings me joy from years spent wandering the coast. 😘 Get the App for plant ID, that wasn't bamboo, but a native cane.

[@TheLoz999]

Tha Salami you want Scotty is called Cacciatore which means Hunter in Italian. It is made drier and therefore it'll keep without refrigeration once you cut it open .

[@wastelandwarrior9738]

Thanks I was wondering that myself lol😂

[@user-kx1fb5fs8n]

Hello, I'm from Crimea. Thanks for the quality content. I wanted to visit you in Australia. Cool style. I also shoot, but not as good as you.

[@darrenrollings5538]

Keep ya camping adventure locations secret Scotty always. There's too many people that will rob you of your location and knowledge and will @*^% it up for the environment and wildlife, and for other good people like you. Keep up the great camping trips. Love ya videos! Enjoy!

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Fantastic and as you say so prehistoric/untouched

[@sickerOr]

Hey Scotty, I appreciate that you are keeping these places wild and secret!! Thank you also for acknowledging that you are on Indigenous land. You could bring your fly rod and some carp flies and try to catch & cook (or just remove) some of those fish. Cheers from Canada

[@bartjames100]

Thanks Scotty for giving me a break.

[@urielsmachine997]

The tariffs for option 1 and option 2 are on a par and both have great views of the river. Love your work Scotty!

[@jasonbourne5807]

thanks for taking me along with you on this journey, awesome and beautiful!

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

I will grab a beer 🍺 and sit back a view some magnificent scenes and great content. Cheers Scotty 👍and thank you for all the effort you put into your videos mate. We all really appreciate the efforts. 👍🇦🇺❤️❤️🍺

[@getsethike]

Great video Scotty mate. Yes I want to ask where this is but as I carry an extra bag for rubbish wherever I go, I agree natural places need to remain natural to preserve. Let anyone find for themselves and reap the reward. I recently started going solo at different times and if you try the most accessible spot at a unusual time, you get the magic out of it, leave alone the remote areas. Keep up the good work.

[@clintgoode7019]

No better way to relax than watching one of your relaxing episodes with the beautiful scenery. So good mate keep up the great work Scotty

[@hally271088]

What a magic spot mate! I also like how you include what you cook while on a adventure and show how you make it. Your videos remind me how beautiful our country is to explore if you actually make the time. Also doing it on your own I think makes it even better. Everyone needs time on there own, its more important then many realise, and what an amazing place to do. Thanks

[@quexalcoatl]

When I go exploring I get that primordial / ancent vibe too I think it's the really old rock and waterfalls that do it. You can almost feel when a place is special that way and has been there the exact same for so long. Thanks so much for taking us with you, I really needed this spirit lift. -Muskoka, Canada.

[@adventuredownunder2131]

Well said

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

These cave camps are so enjoyable to watch! The landscape is just so epic and unique! Quality stuff as always Scotty!

[@lew-e]

Can't beat a G&T with that view. Holy crap! I'm watching this from America and singing "waltzing matilda" to myself

[@jdmo21]

Paradise...

[@FaerieFenergles]

Gorgeous place!

[@matthewvelo]

My goodness, I miss hiking in NSW. Victoria is beautiful, but I miss the Blue Mountains so much. Thanks Scott.

[@lockl9255]

When you find a pristine place like that mate - DON'T tell a soul. I once made a mistake of trusting people with my favorite spot, and it turned into a dumping ground of human waste and flyblown nappies.

[@Joel-wn2cg]

Toxicodendron succedaneum was the plant you were unsure of. Unfortunately it's a weed. When young it can look a little like a young Polyscias murrayi but you won't find that out near GR. The large bamboo like plant is Arundo donax.

[@Jarthy86]

I agree with Toxicodendron succedaneum 👍

[@ewengillies9826]

The views from your baywindows were simply stunning Scotty. You have the happy knack of sussing out the most incredible landscapes. It is no wonder you love the bush when you can spend your time exploring the fabulous Ozzie remote countryside. This hzs been one of your best yet mate keep them coming. ATVB with the rest of 2022. Bushyboy Oz.

[@jakeschauerman9861]

As much as I would LOVE to know where the spots you go to are, I would definitely be saddened if you shared them. When locations like that get known, they inevitably get destroyed because too many people don't know how to properly respect nature. Love the videos and the energy and personality you bring to them!!

[@thedailymindset]

Really enjoyed the video Scotty. Really liked the music during the first 24 minutes. Very peaceful place you went to. Can't wait to see the next one.

[@TheBex76]

Another awesome clip Scotty special place on saying that , You put the effort in to find the place using maps and walking about so can anyone who wants to find or a similar spot Your not denying anyone anything your just showing everyone what’s out there if they want to put in the effort :-)

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome video mate, so chilled and relaxing. You definitely do the hard yards finding these spots and completely understand and agree with not saying where you are. Yeah probably keep the Mo I reckon 🤠👍👍

[@obie_8214]

thanks for another video Scotty, these are very relaxing, and I'm always amazed how diverse Australia is. I actually agree with you on not revealing these locations - everyone more or less follows the same approach when it comes to fishing spots here in Poland, since if something becomes popular, people just destroy these places immediately (overfishing, leaving plastic everywhere)

[@georgea.9684]

The best, most tranquil, soothing vids on KZbin. I watch tons of Aussie camping vids but Scottie’s are the ones to watch when you just want to wind down and enjoy….

[@jamiesullivan8900]

G'day Scotty, another awesome walkabout. It's always heartbreaking to explore our pristine wilderness and be presented with invasive species thriving and virtually sucking the life out of native vegetation. Ps: for me, if the skin on salami is natural you can eat it but if it's synthetic I take it off🤙

[@qksmith]

Totally support you keeping these locations secret. I really enjoy trying to work it out. I am pretty sure of the area but not the specific.

[@kdjat]

Stuff the coat tail riders Scotty! Keep these places to yourself mate! Awesome vid as always! Simply paradise!

[@haydaral-ali8612]

This video is so beautiful from the lush healthy plants and the animals and the birds calls. It is sad to see the weeds in a such a beautiful place and especially to see carp in a creek like that. Keep up the good videos l love watching these sort of videos

[@Dyshof]

Man do you know how privileged you are? To have such places accessible and within range?

[@amelia-rosechambers6976]

These films just blow my mind, Scotty. These areas of natural beauty are such a treasure! That tree looks like something we have here in the UK called StagsHorn, it is also native to lowland rainforests in Queensland and New South Wales! Xx

[@MrNatebain]

Gorgeous 1000x … Fully respect your non disclosure of the location… BUT… If I win lotto, I’m 100% hiring you to take me there 💞 Much love

[@FilipTruta]

Hi Scotty. The tree you're looking at, my best guess, is Ailanthus (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ailanthus_altissima). Scroll through the images to see it as a juvenile tree as well. It's endemic to Asia but it's become invasive in temperate parts of the world. Quite the resilient plant and incredibly adept at taking root and even cloning itself from roots. Here in Bucharest (Romania), it seems to thrive in abandoned construction sites, suggesting it likes calcium rich soils. The specimens progressively fade out of the picture as you travel towards the mountains (at least in this part of the world). Not to say I'm 100% sure the small tree you're looking at is Ailanthus, but it definitely looks the part. Awesome video! Aussies are lucky to have these scapes around to visit and camp out in. Best regards from Romania! Cheers!

[@cathyjay2569]

Sure looks like it! I have some in my backyard that look like that also. They’re quite young, and on the sides of a sometimes creek, sometimes dry ditch. I’m in southeast Tennessee, US.

[@neilblyberg3052]

Cucumber right in front of you and you still squeeze lemon into your G&T... 😉. Love the vid mate and keep the stache.

[@iandnature5317]

Wow, the video is so beautiful, it looks great, the big endurance here, I really like your video, very quiet to watch and everything is great💕💚👍👍😍👍👍👍

[@dentray]

Nice :) Call it want you want but gate keeping is what it is! its your decision though and I am sure its not a random find because it rarely is. Enjoyed it though.

[@randallkelley3599]

Lots of evidence of big floods in the rainy season. Big piles of scrub, heavy rock wash, but sure is pretty. Do you have flash floods in this area?

[@TheRaimo]

Thanks Scott, beautiful area, nice and quiet, totally agree on location privacy. Yes it sucks, but everyone hopefully understands, I do., waiting for the next one. Keep on going.

[@doogiedog1234]

swaggies pantry, stiring his fry pan with his knife. Camping in caves. The old scotties back!

[@TheSillySwagman]

A Scotty classic 🤙

[@margaretsouayah2597]

Beautiful video! I would love to hike someplace like that! Your cooking though! I am really impressed! Taking the "rough" out of "roughing it"!

[@nickyemery1289]

Beautiful!!! The bush looks like a shumack..

[@alanskeoch3112]

24:40 is Ailanthus altissima, 26:28 is Arundo donax (not bamboo)

[@christophercosentino5736]

Hey Scotty Expat here. You are camping in what 38c + temps in fantastic scenery and locations. Over here in Ontario minus -18 to minus -33 in snow almost up to your knees at times. What a bloody contrast.

[@anthonyvento33]

Cool episode of Scotty's Gone Walkabouts! Sweet landscape. Enjoyed seeing you live the dream. Having Italian heritage I was raised to peel off the salami skin and it tastes so much better! And some salami skins are not organic, definitely not for eating!

[@johnskelly2542]

this reminds me of my childhood along a local part of the georges river, only this is even more spectacular, i for one understand your not disclosing the location, but, thanks for sharing the video, its like time travel for me

[@bornodnoc1034]

The erosion on the sandstone is amazing. That would seem to indicate a lot of water over a long period of time.

[@virginiachinn4033]

Its been a long time since I enjoyed a video as much as this one, I wish I were there with you, that place is so beautiful, thank you so much for sharing!!!
