Getting Lost ain't always Bad - Wadbilliga NP - Cascade Falls

[@rorymcquinn9448]

Bloody happy to see the road to Wadbilliga is open again after the fires, thanks for sharing!

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Great drive hey !! they have done a lot of work to it, whole track has been graded … would of been a better if this wasn’t the case. Say it would get a bit slippery in places. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@reddustadventures]

Crackin spot to be lost. You definitely do the hard yards to showcase those magic spots mate. Love it. Part mountain goat 🫵😂👌 Keep up the great vids Molly 😜🫡

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Cheers guys, have to put in the hard yards, makes the beers taste better at night!! 🍻👍🏼 Who’s this Molly your talking about ?!? 😂💁🏼‍♂️

@@reddustadventures I’ve been getting a lot of advice on the pose, big one is to close my eyes. Have to practice a bit more by the sounds of it !

[@reddustadventures]

@@aguyandhistroopy yeah. We picked up on that also. And wearing way to much clothing 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😜😜 We will keep our eyes peeled for the next one 😂😂😂

[@damo.77]

Nice one Gav, looks like a crackin spot but as you say to many bloody people in summer. Atleast the good old Troopys sounding better than the last episode mate.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Thanks Damo, it’s a popular locals spot in summer I’ve been told. But I reckon I’ll try get back down to Lake Creek campground. That was a great spot. 👍🏼 Yeah, like the troopy a lot more when it’s running better !! 😂😂👍🏼

[@boomba361]

I've always said if you don't care where you are, you're not lost.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

I get used to not caring where I’m going, seems to be the norm for me, never have any real plans when I travel. Thanks for watching Boomba 👍🏼

[@Travelling_Jonoberries]

Hey Gav the Sill stickers look great! What a place to get lost, great country and another great episode buddy. Great to see that fellow four wheel drivers are always courteous and helpful. Thank you once again for allowing us to enjoy your adventures - Take care and travel safe Buddy. 🇦🇺

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Thanks Brad, it was a good drive, far from being disappointed, and had a good night with Scott and Laura at camp that night. Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment! 👍🏼

[@paulkenny7363]

Good to see you wearing a hat to keep the sun off lol, another great episode 👍

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Have to get the merch out there mate.👍🏼😂 I’m probably not the best model for it. 🤦🏽

[@CMReid]

Looked like one good adventure mate! Appreciate your videos. Safe travels 👍🏼

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Cheers Craig, was an enjoyable drive, followed by a good night around the fire. Can’t be complaining about trips like that !! 👍🏼

[@chrisobrien5138]

Pearler. Mixing a tin of canned spaghetti with a tin of baked beans is a 1 plus 1 equals 3 win I find. Especially with bangers. Not for everyone, but some of us appreciate such things .....

[@aguyandhistroopy]

It’s sounds easy enough, I’ll add that to my next gourmet cooking segment I do !!😂😂 Thanks for the tip 👍🏼

[@mort8143]

I don't understand these 4wd shows on TV that show portable mini pizza ovens being used in the scrub, and the like? Snags, instant potato, and suprise peas is truly gourmet after a long day. Pizza can wait.😊

[@mort8143]

With my luck I'd forget the f'ing can opener!

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@mort8143I actually have a Travel Buddy oven but I only use it for lunches when I’m on the road, otherwise I only eat lollies etc, and can’t sleep at night cause I’m so hyped up. 🤦🏽

Nice mate , what a good spot. I’m with you I don’t care about getting lost , I don’t even call it that anymore, its finding new places. 🤠👍👍

Bang on there Shad … it’s would be a pretty boring trip heading straight to ya destination! 👍🏼

All good there William, it’s all apart of the channel. You keep tuning in mate, I’ll try keep up the content. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@BurningFeetAdventures]

Looks like getting out of the Troopy to place the action cam for all the "drive by" shots keeps you busy and fit ;-)

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Yeah Stevo, makes it a long day in and out of the saddle. How you been mate?

[@BurningFeetAdventures]

@@aguyandhistroopy I'm doing well. It's a bit stressfull as I have to prepare the bike for a roadbook Rally in Poland leaving tomorrow 😉

[@mort8143]

Hard, slow work, and plenty of walking, but it adds immensely to the experience. Best 4wd/travel/camping production on KZbin for sure.😊

[@aguyandhistroopy]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@mort8143I don’t know about the best production on KZbin mate… but it’s definitely hard, slow work with plenty of walking ! 🤣

Nice video once again Gav, you're definitely a natural in front of the camera, keep up the good work, really appreciated.👍 PS, haven't seen the troopy wave for a while.🤙

@@aguyandhistroopy ok mate no worries I’ll be home by 330

[@bobbyb9371]

Beaut spot, not far from me either. Get my diff/transfer case/ gearbox breathers in next week and I’m in to it. Might have to do an over nighter down there before it gets busy nearing the summer months. I don’t worry about getting lost. There’s always something to discover even if it’s not your original destination. Old jungle saying, “time spent in reconnaissance is time never wasted". Thanks mate another good one, cheers BobbyB.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Nice one Bobby, bet your looking forward to getting out there in the new rig. 👍🏼 It’s a nice area that for sure, worth a trip! Yeah, I never really call it lost, just exploring … and there is so much to explore out there !! 👍🏼

[@rusty1816]

Great job mate it’s good getting lost you see so much more 🍺🍺

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Definitely Rusty, it’s pretty common for me to get lost. Best way to travel when you have a bit of time up your sleeve. 👍🏼

[@annehardy4329]

What a magic place. I could sit there all day and just listen to the water and take in the views they just awesome. Thanks for sharing this trip with us. I would be just like you not to worried about being lost because there is so much to look at. Why go over seas we have so much to see in Australia.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Well I’m gunna sound like a Aussie bogan, I have a passport but have yet to put a stamp in it, and probably won’t for a lot of years to come. I love what Australia has to offer, no point in traveling overseas. I’ll be going back to the Lake Creek camp spot in summer. Loved that spot. Thanks for watching again Anne. 👍🏼

Thanks

Cheers Tyrone, PM ya address on Insta or FB and I’ll flick you a couple of stickers 👍🏼

[@wesself9503]

Great perspective on getting lost. An example of valuing the journey not just the destination. Thanks for showing us that area 👍

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Spot on Mate, most people are always trying to get to where they want to go, but often drive past the past places to get there. I love getting lost! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@rossjackson7134]

I got lost in there one night too. It was a moonless night and I knew I was lost when I drove past the same dead Wombat three times. Lol.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@rossjackson7134 sometimes getting lost isn’t a bad thing hey, maybe on a moonless night isn’t the best. I didn’t do much research as usual for this trip, as to why I was lost. But I actually really enjoyed the drive, want to go back and camp at the Lake Creek and then continue towards the coast, need to research what’s past Lake Creek to see. Hopefully not 3 dead wombats 🤦🏽🤣 Thanks mate for the support of the channel. 👍🏼

[@mort8143]

Fantastic. Exploring new country, who cares if you're lost? It's all new. My favourite campsites have been found that way. Anywhere that's quiet and peaceful is good enough for me. Keep well.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Cheers Mort, that’s it hey! Always exploring and finding new places, never have been that mainstream sort of a guy that sticks to what he knows. Thanks for watching mate, appreciate it.

[@gavinjewell5886]

Looks like a cracking campsite, and no need to bring steaks

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Yeah that’s it. A few campsites to choose from and a few steaks also. Like the old days, the cattle roaming the National Parks. Cheers for watching Gav.

Lovin' the videos mate, as always, good to see the signage on the Troopy now too mate. How did you go with the Harmonic Balancer?

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Hey Terry, thanks mate, means a lot. I reckon it looks the goods, just sorting out the supporters stickers now for it. It’s fixed … lol. No damage to anything else from what I can gather which is a good thing. It was starting to move float around and moving forward when I was just out from home, could of been real bad. 🤦🏽

Where have you been? This is the first time in six months that one of your videos have appeared on my YT Home Page recommendations ( even though I am a subscriber ). Strange how this all works, or does not sometimes. Glad your back anywayz :-) P.S. You need one of those remote mic thingys as it is hard to hear you on the camera mic sometimes when you more than a few feet away from the camera.

[@DailyGrindAus]

You might also need to hit the 'notifications' bell and it will let you know when he posts..

[@aguyandhistroopy]

I’m definitely been here mate, been dropping an episode every 2 weeks just for you Phil ! 🤦🏽😂 As DailyGrind said the notification button will help you get an alert when they drop. Been looking at the DJI mics for ages, will be getting a couple soon, just keep having issues with the troopy that keep making me dig into my pockets a little to regularly. Been a couple of trips I haven’t been able to make into episode due to the wind noise in them. So it has to happen. Ill just yell a bit to I get some !!👍🏼👍🏼😂 Good to see you back.

[@issy7465]

Hello from WA. I like the fire pits design at Cascade Falls. I hope to visit that area of Australia soon.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Gday, they are pretty good fire pits that’s for sure, good size ! Pretty common in most NP camping spots. I’d love to get back over your way, West is the Best !! Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment 👍🏼

I was at cascades a few months ago and left my camping fireplace gloves there. Spewing.

Spewing I didn’t find them, I need a set of gloves. 😂🤦🏽 Nice spot on the Tuross River there hey !! 👍🏼

[@johnalbietz6308]

Just discovered your channel. Enjoy the content and the laid back approach. I see you've travelled a lot in the Vic. High country. Have you ever driven the Limestone Road from Benambra to Suggan Buggen? I want to do it in mid November and any comments would be very helpful. I'm not sure whether my vehicle would cope. 4WD mitsubishi van , 4WD is ok but not very high clearance an no snorkel. Any comments much appreciated. John.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Hey John, glad you discovered it mate. Have only driven it the once as I have been up in QLD for 26 years till just recently. You won’t have a drama mate, from what I remember, it’s a 2WD road, but could get a bit slippery with some rain maybe. Native Dog Flat is a nice campground along the way, will most likely see brumbies there. I reckon the road to Suggan Buggan is worse, especially if your afraid of heights. Thanks for taking the time out to watch. 👍🏼

[@wasbruce]

I think you got a bumsteer from that cocky. Done that loop many times, you should just kept going up Berowra Rd. It's a great run and good to see the tracks and campgrounds finally reopened.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Yeah, looking at the maps it’s a similar distance. Didn’t have much in the way of reception on that day. It’s was a good drive either way, reckon that Lake Creek Campground would be awesome in Summer. Thanks for the comment mate! 👍🏼

[@wasbruce]

Hey Gav, when did you do this? I was in the process of planning a club trip down that way after seeing your vid but the NPWS office says Wadbilliga Rd west of Lake Creek is closed and has been for some time.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@wasbruce about the 10th of July. Track had just been graded a couple of days before I went I’d reckon. It was graded west of the concrete causeway on the Wadbilliga River.

[@wasbruce]

​@@aguyandhistroopyOK that's weird. Still showing closed on NPWS website and when I phoned they told me it's been closed for ages due to major issues and won't be open for a long time. Might have to do a recce run. Thanks for the info.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@wasbruce if ya on Insta, hit up gq.adventures, they drove it the same day. No road closed signs when you come off Tuross Rd, just says that the river crossing have changed after recent floods, drive with care or something like that?! You could drive a sedan the whole way if it was dry.
