[@Ducksouttheredoinit]

Magnificent! You certainly sold the area. Very well put together episode. Emotional roller coaster. Good job 👍 🤗🦆

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Cheers Greg. Appreciate your support and feedback!

[@pepemema]

Magic place! You captured the essence of the outback. Well done, such a pleasure to relax with your vids. Keep it going!!👌👌

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks, Peter. Much appreciated.

I worked as a ranger there for five years and it was my favourite place ever. It was a fantastic place to live and I saw that river flow so many times. The Bluff campground was totally washed away one year. Such an amazing place. Ruby Gap was stunning but so remote but worth the effort.

[@danieladams3841]

It’s pronounced Tre feena though.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Great to know, cheers

[@raymann4027]

Enjoyed the scenery and I agree with you Simon, it doesn't get any better than where you are.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Cheers, Ray. It's a special place for sure

[@justinworden7051]

We totally agree love the Mac ranges if we had too choose it would def be the East ! Ruby gap is def a highlight

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

We'll have to do Ruby Gap next time.

You are not crazy! We felt the same when we visited and camped at Trephina Gorge. It is at the top of our list of the most scenic natural landscapes we have experienced in Australia. It’s the best of the secret gems of central Australia. Your words describing Trephina were our words when we encouraged others to visit or telling them of our experience.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing!

[@mareebrew5355]

Thanks for the tip, we’re hoping to head up that way this year!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Have fun! It's an amazing area. Make sure you check out the rest of our vids on the Red Centre if you haven't already. 👍

Camped at Trephina about 10 years ago on new years eve. Dry as a chip when we arrived. Around 7pm it bucketed down, kept it up for most of the night. To our amazement the totally barren campsite became overrun with... frogs! Dozens of them, climbing the tent walls, jumping on to us. It was brilliant. The next morning the "river" was actually running. Being very hot I decided to sit down in the flow. I was rinsing sand out of my #ss for the next few days! Nice to see you enjoying it with the kids, it's the best experience for them. Thanks for the video. Brought back memories...

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

It's amazing how different a place can be depending on the weather. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnbode954]

😊👍🇦🇺

[@johneller5856]

We share your appreciation of the East Macs. Both Mac Ranges are spectacular. We based up at Trephina and explored everything we could find there. Great video. Will do it again when we can. Take care and Happy New Year!!!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Great to hear! We do some more exploring in next weeks episode, stay tuned!

[@causewecan514]

Did you get to Arltunga Historic Site? That place blew my mind... An terrific place to photograph!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

We called through in the next episode but we didn't spend much time exploring. Sounds like we missed out!

[@chrismcdonnell1695]

Another great vid where you have really captured the look and feel of the MacDonnell Ranges. And it’s true, Trephina ( as in Marina) is the best of the accessible gorges here.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@peterreeve3030]

Thanks for sharing your travels with the world. I hope 2022 brings you some awesome adventures and trouble free motoring. Your videos are amongst the best out there

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thank you, Peter! It's feedback like yours that keeps us pushing forward. 2022 is going to be a big year!

[@jacquiyoung8703]

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Yay! Thank you, Jacqui. Appreciate your support.

[@hanskanis7526]

Great video again guys, happy new year! Can’t wait for the next one 🍺🍺

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Same to you!

[@snoordman04]

Happy new year guys! Such a delight to see you enjoy your travels so much.. keep m coming I'd say.. cheers 🤙🏼

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thank you! Will do!

[@daviddawson2411]

🍺🍺 go super dad

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Yeww!

[@markcarlile5209]

Trevina gorge is great but keep going east as the east macs are a hidden gem and hardly any crowds. Ruby Gap and Glen Annie gorge are better still enjoy.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Not sure we'll get into Ruby Gap this trip. Not suitable for caravans from what we've read. Something for next time though!

[@markcarlile5209]

@@TheLifestylePioneers we took our 14ft AOR quantum there and there was a Zone like yours camped there have fun and enjoy the glenn annie gorge we did in a day trip with the 5km hike to the gorge. may be abit tough for the little ones as it is mostly on sandy riverbed.

[@Frobu]

Happy New Year!!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Same to you!

[@johnmathisen1167]

Think that Liz coming back was the best thing for you boys, could see 2 minute noodles being the main meal forever.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Simon had it covered 😉

[@waynebarry2866]

Love your work guys 👍👍 If you think that gorge is good I hope you got to Ruby gap That one would blow your mind 🙃 . You have probably been asked this before but What is the name of the song on the intro ?

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Cheers Wayne, we don't make it to Ruby Gap this trip as we'd heard it wasn't suitable for caravans. We'll have to tick that one off next time! The intro song is Venetian Blinds by Mattias Tell

[@Leel12355]

Happy New Year! 🎊 After such a hectic end of the year it's so great to catch up on missed eps. Funny informative and interesting as always but Harrison's reviews are the cherry on top!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Same to you! Glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for coming back!

[@jorichards325]

Happy New Year safe travels for 2022 🥳🥳🎉🎉🥂🥂🤗🤗

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks, Jo. Same to you.

[@overlandphotography]

Hi guys, absolutely agree with you relating to your comments about the East Mac Ranges. Amazing area of Oz. Also, it might be me, but your Facebook link doesn't work for me ???? Keep up the great work.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks Jim. Hopefully that FB link was just a one off.

[@catempirerox]

makes you ooze. ew.
