Thanks mate. Enjoyed.

[@OverlandUnknown]

Glad you enjoyed :) Thank you for the comment

Five Rocks is a nice little gem

[@OverlandUnknown]

I'm very lucky to have it in my backyard, definitely worth visiting. Thanks for watching mate.

We plan on visiting Byfield soon with our Patriot Camper Trailer. Looks like it would be best to ditch the trailer when tackling Big Sandy. Thanks for the inspriation to visit.

[@OverlandUnknown]

G'day, there is a few variables whether to take the Patriot up big sandy or not. If you want to camp at Stockyard or down on the beach at 9 Mile, I've seen numerous camper trailers been towed there. If you are confident with sand driving, capable 4wd and have correct pressures it shouldn't be to much of an issue. Big Sandy is harder than anything on Fraser Island, just my 2 cents. If your going for a day trip, I wouldn't drag it up Big Sandy. Leave it at Upper Stony Creek or one of the other campsites in Byfield. All the best guys, enjoy the adventure, Byfield NP is an amazing place !! Any other Q's, let me know :)

Mate such a great video!!!! Thanks you!

[@OverlandUnknown]

Cheers mate 👍

Awesome place out at five rocks. Big Sandy is fantastic, have done it in a Holden Jackaroo and Nissan Pathfinder as well as old mates 75. Stoney Creek great for a swim when it's hot as.

[@OverlandUnknown]

It certainly is fun, especailly if there has been a dry spell, that sand gets very soft !!! Cheers for the comment mate :)

[@nathhynes]

Great vid mate.

[@OverlandUnknown]

Thank you mate

[@trishmclerie8709]

Love your work, keep it up, such a beautiful place. I have one request for though.........please,please take your Mum there one day. 🤗🤗😁

[@OverlandUnknown]

haha when you come up, we can go there :)

Jeez mate.. you never cease to amaze me. The use of drones and HD cameras in amateur video production is amazing technology. I liked the drone work whilst the vehicle was motoring along the beach. Adds another dimension to how you want to tell your story to us. You held my interest to the end...... well done.

[@MadDan78]

probably just a stabilised "vlog" style camera for the walk n talk sections and you'll be a pro :-)

[@OverlandUnknown]

That drone shot on the beach turned out much better than I thought. Thank you for the kind words and support. Cheers Grant

[@OverlandUnknown]

I wish I had a stabilised vlog camera, my Cannon 80D doesn't have a sensor based image stabilization system. One day I might upgrade :)

[@MadDan78]

@@OverlandUnknown even a newer gopro or insta360 ;-)

[@OverlandUnknown]

@@MadDan78 cheers mate, will have to look into those.

Can't wait to get there.

You will love it 🙂

[@thomcartwright6507]

That drone footage with your car on the beach was spectacular. I subscribed.

[@OverlandUnknown]

Glad you enjoyed the drone footage. Cheers for the support mate.

[@thomcartwright6507]

@@OverlandUnknown what drone have you got?

[@AussieKawiman]

Thanks Grant, Absolute 1st class footage and location, We are heading up in a few weeks and will definitely go there based on your video, Thanks again.

[@OverlandUnknown]

You're welcome mate, it's a hidden gem and it's amazing. Not over crowded by tourists either. Enjoy mate, and have fun on big Sandy 😉

[@bravocharlie777]

Great spot and awesome video mate. Went to five rocks around 10 years ago and took several attempts to get up big sandy but that was in a Pajero lol. Now with the raptor I’ll be up there again soon and compare. Hope you’re planning on bringing more videos out soon.

[@OverlandUnknown]

Haha yeah Big Sandy still catches a fair few people out these days still. That Raptor will easily get up with the right PSI. Cheers for watching, I appreciate the support. New videos coming soon. 👍

[@RVAmerica]

That view was amazing! And I love your accent!

Beautiful part of QLD

[@michelleburke802]

Hey mate loved your video, definitely God’s country up there. You’ll have to explore the Orange Bowl on your next visit to 9 Mile. You used to be able to drive up to its’ rim to see the spectacular view but these days you’ve got to walk up! It will definitely test your cardio! Look forward to your next adventure.

[@OverlandUnknown]

cheers mate, it's on the list to do there when I go back next time. I also was told there is a waterfall near there as well which I'll check out. Cheers for the message and support :)

[@Berserkaru]

@@OverlandUnknown waterfall is at the north end of 9mile

[@OverlandUnknown]

Cheers mate, will check it out next time I'm there. 👍

[@connorallman534]

Is there any places to camp beach side mate

[@OverlandUnknown]

Yeah absolutely, Check out the QLD National Parks website and search for 'nine mile beach', there are about 4 camp sites along the beach. Cheers, Grant.

[@BradGryphonn]

OI! Stop telling everyone about the Byfield area dammit!

[@OverlandUnknown]

It's a beautiful place that's for sure, right in my backyard!

[@BradGryphonn]

@@OverlandUnknown Hehe. Yep. I lived in Rocky for 22-odd years. The Byfield area is brilliant.

[@sebastianbaeza62]

Excellent video man . Keep going. 1 question.. do u need permit to drive on the beach and camping ? Thanks

[@OverlandUnknown]

Hey mate, no permit needed, although if you camp the night at one of the numerous camping grounds, you need to book via the QLD national parks website and have that permit on you.
