You'll never never know (Ep206)

We've been working on a remote station in outback Australia for 4 weeks.
The time has gone so fast and we've enjoyed every day of this unique life in the bush.
This week we thought we'd share what we've been getting up to when we're not working on the station.
We visited one of the local towns, went to Mildura for our monthly supply run, explored the station and found a beautiful old Land Rover, visited friends on a neighbouring station and loads more.
Next video we'll be back to share more of station life including large scale sheep mustering and what's really involved in running one of these massive remote stations in Australia.
Thank you so much for watching and we'll see you soon.
Join us as we travel the world overland, exploring the cultures and traditions of all the countries we visit.
In our Land Rover Defender camper which is our full time home we will take you rock climbing, hiking and exploring across all the continents on this planet.

Awesome testimony on our service, Leigh, thanks a lot, very much appreciated!!!

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

the least we can do . lots of love

[@grahames9228]

Made in Australia, always the best.

Poor Stephy sad face at the end. That shopping trip looks like a few days of food for when my kids were teens. Broke the bank every time shopping. Sounds like you are loving it there.

[@ScottWalkerScEdD]

Man (and woman) from Snowy River-esque whip cracking!

[@fawisontour6926]

After 4 weeks back to the civilization must be like a kid in the toy store :) Very nice! And I immediately got hungry again.....

[@chrisa2061]

I’m just about to install the same drive flanges on my Puma 110, but in the relative luxury of my driveway!!!

Enjoying this series on the station (ranch)

[@Defender110SLO]

Owsome.👌🏻 Cheers to bolth of you. 🍺&🍷

Make me hungry now, love your ytube vids keep it up guys👍🍺

[@cronancorbett5152]

Do not make fun of “the list”.....stayed on a game farm in The Namtib in Namibia, 250k on dirt roads from Luderitz, the nearest big town. Had a very interesting conversation with the owners about living in such a remote location, food, energy, schooling, etc. the lady of the house admitted that her life is ruled by lists, the consequences of forgetting something could be serious when you are so remote. My favourite country in the world, if you get to Africa, do not miss it.

[@greebo7857]

Cheers for that. I want to ship my OKA to Namibia, as it's the nearest port that isn't in South Africa. My only knowledge of it is what I've seen on The Grand Tour.

G'day depuis la France, Je suis un Australien qui réside en France maintenant (l'Isere). Amazing video,i'm from Melbourne originally, I've travelled all over Australia, great place,great people. I love that French accent,reminds me of my parents who imigrated to Australia from France. Great vidéos.

[@nbrettoner]

Love you guys. Awesome that you are having such a great time pioneering out there. Exploring, meeting new friends, working hard as you experience such a remote lifestyle. :) So good the way you two bring new life and happiness even out here, to those around you. Crikey that's one heck of a huge 'shop'. ~ ~ Oh and again, conrats on your 3rd? place win with Ronny. :)

[@justinbuchanan8883]

Epic, mildura is such a good town . Love u guys

[@mrsound-gard7556]

Very enjoyable video guys

[@djdmrc9107]

Worked in Mildura during my WorkingHoliday stay almost 20 years ago! Great people

[@stephen6378]

A video full of fun - great stuff

[@noelwhittle7922]

that face @14:49 Stephie, dont forget that Leigh was 'Made in Australia'. Cant be all bad surely ?

[@mothewag]

Great video! Also the Ad right after the wip hit is just too perfectly timed 🤣

[@zoea2737]

im a new subscriber. absolutely love it

[@dickinaroundoutdoors8609]

Very cool find and interesting hearing about Euro 4x4-I am interested to hear about having to have parts shipped everywhere globally, not sure I could get that done for the Jeep!

[@The321chippy]

Great videos, well done to you both I am Australian born and bread and have lived in remote Australia for many years and I'm so glad that you are here in in Australia and seeing more that just ower cities your not afraid to get in and give everything a go ! I love that, I wish you both all the very best for today and every day 😊👍

[@rjl110919581]

thank you for the super beautiful detailed video every time wish best in hearth and safety through your traveling around Australia and world from Australia

[@jasonmccarthy3695]

Great stuff. Smiled at the "you'll never never know.." painted on the wreck.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Of course , it was the first thing we thought about. The good old days in the NT 🧗

[@sheldonvictor412]

Another awesome vid Mate,love Stephie's face at the end " Made in Australia...ahh" ,that Barbed wire fence climb you took ,looked dangerous...😁😁

[@Zialungpachal]

Always good to see you two! keep up the good work...totally enjoyed the episode once again

[@whiteeulogianraven7995]

I'd like to see Steph doing some shearing. This Station Serie is getting memorable... But nothing could beat Steph's "Australia made kimchi" disappointment face.

[@jcv551]

Love the videos 👍

[@tommylne1205]

Another rule of gate duty: Don't forget to stop and pick up the gate-opener after driving through the gate!!

[@marceloalb]

That was fun! Thanks for sharing! 👏🙏

[@travissweeney788]

New sub today,goodness you don't need make up dear your gorgeous,so excited to see you two as much as possible

[@RevN3]

I was having my google home do KM to miles conversions when I realised we don't really use miles to describe distances most of the time here in Oregon, we say how long the drive takes and that's the measurement. So it was helpful when Stephy said it was an hour drive at 9:54 :)

[@StephenFogarty2023]

Great video Leigh & Steph. These videos from the Station are fantastic. 👍

[@marcteste6920]

Ca fait plaisir de voir des gens heureux

[@laplumetrotteusetv5800]

Another awesome video ! Loved it !!! Thank you guys for showing your life in such a unusual setting and for the views on the Murray River, I wasn't that far from Mildura and I lived by the Murray, NSW side, in Tocumwal :D (only 400 km haha) You're very courageous !

[@brentmcd12]

great video ! nicely done!

[@timmummert1145]

Great video, love the land rover community! Would love to see more of the actual farm work you guys are doing, to see not only what it's like living but also what it's like working on a remote station

[@gail9906]

Love the Leyland! Havent thought of or seen one of them for years..Great Vlog Stephie and Leigh! ❤🇦🇺🦘

[@JeffC1]

Love the soy sauce and vanilla ice cream!!

[@GregPalmer2]

Good for you young felah,love the old landy, winter is approaching mud driving skills are going to improve. 😁😁😁😁

[@RogueCorps]

Wow, cool to follow along. What a change to see you guys with a giant fridge full of stuff! Enjoy!

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Big size fridge is such a luxury compared to our little Dometic in the camper where we always have to play Tetris .

[@power17]

Wish you the best of luck .

[@porcobene_media]

Great and entertaining video. Bear must be getting more km on the clock then from France to Australia all the years of travelling :D

[@chrisworsnop7805]

Welcome to Victoria Steph, Gods own state!

[@Jottingsfrom]

Another great video guys! Love your work and thanks for showing the world our wonderful country. Stay safe.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

thank you very much . means a lot .

[@pauldent3059]

We'd never manage with our lot shopping like that, we buy the same you had there in those 2 trolleys twice a week although there is 9 of us, but that bbq looked awesome

[@clintonwilkie8142]

Frenchy does not need makeup! Naturally Gorgeous 😉

[@PhilTaylorPhotog]

I miss Korean BBQ. Thanks for showing the paste...I've wanted to buy it here for years, now I know what to search for. Pocari sweat is everywhere in Japan too. Tastes a bit like lemon saline drink. Hope you get to spend some time in the Vic high country, and you absolutely should show your audience the awesome scenery of Tas. North West coast is in many ways far more remote than where you are on the station (in terms of ruggedness and the feeling of being remote). Look up pictures of the town of Temma. Thanks for another awesome vid. I think I'll go searching for that paste tomorrow 🙂

[@wernerwiedon1331]

You + you , perfect match awesome.

[@cromulentparty]

Not too far from Broken Hill, should stay at the Starview camp there.

[@martysib6547]

Thanks, Marty from Perth

[@grahameroberts8109]

At the end “ It’s made in Australia?!” and a face of disappointment. Lol. Great fun on the Station. City slickers don’t understand how remote these places are. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the fridge door ‘full of’ chocolates. 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫😂👍🏻🙏🦘

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

all gone by now ... sadly. must wait another 2 weeks . hahaha

[@langwightman1896]

Love that “made in Australia” face!! 😊😊

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Hopefully made by Koreans in Australia. tasted really good . we have enough Kimchi for a year .

[@polekia]

I’m sure stephy looks just as wonderful without makeup .. maybe even better🤩 Great video guys love itt

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

not, haha I just need mascara but it's essential. 😆 We hope you are doing well lovely Portia .

[@unpluggedkiwi1063]

Stephy is the kind of woman any guy would love to have as his partner/wife. Doesn't matter what needs doing, she gets in and does it, and always seems happy and to have a smile on her face while she is doing.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

ho thank you for the compliment, but remember I am the one editing the videos , hahahaha I can remove the parts where I am grumpy .

[@unpluggedkiwi1063]

@@GrizzlyNbearOverland Nothing wrong with always showing your good side.

[@TheDudeGonzalez]

“He is on a date “ you got so happy for him! Leigh you must be one hell of guy to have as a friend! Steph love it how sad you where when it was made in Australia. Btw did not think you where wearing makeup the whole time before buhahaha now Leigh gave it away hehehe

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

We actually spend the weekend with Luke and his new GF and we had a great time. She is a keeper !

[@greebo7857]

That old Series is probably worth a bob or two these days. BTW, Stephie looks just fine unpainted 🙃

[@themechanicslab]

I just came back from visiting family in outback Gunnedah/ Curlewis only 2 days ago and watching this makes me want to be back there. Please don't stop making these video's. Nothing beats being remote and getting away from the city hum. When do you think you will be over the east coast Moreten Bay region?

[@holgermuller2987]

Oh… kimchi made in Australia?. Can feel the pain… it must gaz until the plastic bag explodes in the fridge… yep since then banned from my fridge.. Was a nice vide and looking forward coming episode Stay safe and cheers..

First time in Victoria and no complaints.

Lucky guys ! The Christmas present we have sent from Europe to Townsville QLD took 3 months to arrive and cost a bucket full of euros ;-)

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

I don't know how Euro4x4 do that. It's always super fast.

[@DarthFurball]

Hey I'm sure Australian kimchi is pretty good 😋

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

Made in Australia by proud Koreans rescue that fine Leland. Plenty of Holdens to put in its place

[@lukeadv]

Kimchi is always local, gotta be fresh!

[@benward9101]

Are you both planning to come through any of Melbourne , Bendigo, Castlemaine, Ballarat at any stage. Thanks for your work on KZbin.

Thank you, you are welcome. For sure we would love to go through those parts . we have no real plans yet.

Why didn’t you show the supermarket in Ivanhoe? Of course it’s not open on a Sunday.

[@leighdearle5965]

Haha that's true! Actually it's only open now and then with no set opening times. We had lunch at the pub but unfortunately the beer was flat 😜

[@didjavegoodweekend]

@@leighdearle5965 the supermarket is open Thursday and Friday 9am til 6pm and Saturday 9am til 1pm and most locals know they can ring out of hours (number is on the hours sign) and new stock is added weekly as they go to Griffith plus bring stuff back from steggles, Bunnings, etc how far is the cattle station from Ivanhoe?

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Sorry , we did film it , and we did film the open hours and "contact BigKev" Your shop looked good,. But we usually have between 2 to 4 hours of footage to make a 15min video, I always have to remove a lot of things.

[@holgermuller2987]

Omg, did you emptied Wolli‘s ?.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

2 trolleys for 5 weeks , not too bad ... but Wollies empty our bank account. ahahaha

[@michaelbaron8089]

@@GrizzlyNbearOverland Not too bad indeed. We usually have 1 and half trolley for 4 weeks and a trolley from the liquor store.

How do you make the bananas last so long? As you seem to buy a lot in one go.

[@badgerpa9]

If you pop them right in the freezer they last for blender drinks.

[@leighdearle5965]

Exactly! We peel and freeze them all for breakfast smoothies 😊

On another note, I've just bought a 130 which is getting delivered on Monday 😁😁😁

Why hasn't the truck got A/C?

[@StephenFogarty2023]

They bought the Defender as a used vehicle in Europe. It was from Poland ?? AC was not standard fitment on Defender in many countries, particularly cooler climate European countries. Many mods were then done in France to customise the vehicle to suit their specific requirements.
