Hat Head & South West Rocks - NSW Mid-North Coast 4x4 adventure 2019

[@kempy2233]

I grew up in Kempsey, spent most weekends at the Rocks, Trial bay, Crescent, Hat Head, now live in Brisbane...i need to head back home for a holiday now! 👍👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thats awesome mate, great area around there :)

[@lonesurvivor7921]

Good show mate... No brand advertised, no over done truck costing $$$ just good outdoor fun. This is why we all get into 4x4 driving.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, appreciate the feedback

[@keithdaly4434]

Awesome beaches and Mermaid Pools was really cool. Good to see Kayla out and about with you again. Missed her laugh and loved the bloopers at the end 🤣

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate and thanks for watching :)

[@mountainconstructions]

Well Done Tyler, wow you are really getting the content out Its going to be funny when you sell the Navara.... "Navara, only driven on Sundays" Thanks for showing us your backyard mate, an area i have marked to return too Loved Hat Head... And you are super lucky to be able to beach drive them

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, thanks for watching! "Never been off-road" haha I think the only place the Navara will be going will be the wreckers for $100 haha

[@craigwillis3372]

Like you I LOVE my Nissan Navara...possibly the most under rated 4 x 4 when off road! Used to go as a kid to Port Macquarie for holidays and stayed at the Blue Dolphin motel. In later years a group of us would go to Crescent Head and camp there for 10 days...and after 40 years its still a tradition...what great scenery around the district!

[@TylerThompson90]

Awesome stuff mate, such a great area around here! And yep been super happy with the NP300, been a great 4x4

[@greg8598]

Thanks for keeping all the Really cool parts of SWR under wraps. Although Mermaid Pools is worth a visit. We've checked out most of the areas between Sydney and Bris. and we just keep coming back to SWR, about 3 times per year. Nowhere else has anywhere near the variety of different places to enjoy. Each day up there you have to choose from about 7 or 8 totally different venues, where you can have fun. It truly is unique.

[@ShariiTaylor]

I’m working my way down there next week, could you tell me where to find the mermaid pools?

[@francoerp]

Mermaid pool is closed, great video T

[@tbillington]

Nice one Tyler. I'm jealous of where you get to live, love the mid north coast, best climate in Australia. And had to laugh at running over the GoPro twice.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, definitely are lucky to live in such a beautiful area. Haha yep i made sure to get it twice, good thing it didn't damage it, shows they are pretty tough

[@mrpoopypants9586]

Good one Tyler. My folks used to live in Port and I always used to call it "Paradise". You showed why! Need to get back up there. Your photography always shows off just how beautiful that part of the coast is. Best beaches in the world. Cheers PP

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, thanks for watching! Sure is a beautiful area

Have fun mate!

[@rogerchambers1309]

Another excellent video Tyler. I really need to get back up that way, only a few hours from me. Great to see you and Kayla having such a good time. I reckon Tourism Oz could learn a thing to two from you guys. You only have to read the comments here to see what appeals to people, natural unforced content. Looking forward to the next one......

[@jamesvella4668]

What is the back road you took to get to the Hat Head National Park sand dunes?

[@samcarthew2599]

I recently was in this area & too enjoyed the dunes although after posting some pictures to fb 2 people have told me it illegal to drive on the dunes (all in mid North coast) have you heard this. There is plenty of well used tracks there & I would of thpught they would be blocked of if was illegal. Love all you videos mate.

[@TylerThompson90]

Hey mate, to be honest I'm not a 100% sure. This is the problem with some of these places, theres nothing there saying you can't, no signs, no gates etc but then they expect you to know you aren't meant to be there.

[@samcarthew2599]

@@TylerThompson90 I spoke to the ranger this week as you said there's nothing saying you can't only written on our beach passes say we can't drive on vegetated areas anyhow he has told be it is illegal to drive on them & they have been meaning to block the track but are short staffed. I had a great time on them so it's a shame were not actually allowed.

[@MHendo-dt8bp]

Mate, if you don't already, you should run 4x4 adventure tours.

[@kcsbuildingproducts]

Hey legend. In South West Rocks now and heading south. Can you recommend some great places to visit and camp overnight please please 🙏🏻 cheers

[@colinmartin9451]

Hi Tyler, great vid mate. Just bought colorado and dominator camper. Any suggestions on where to go in the mid north coast that we can have a 4wd around towing?

[@TylerThompson90]

Hey mate, cheers! Ive never towed in my life so not something I'm too familiar with haha

[@colinmartin9451]

That’s ok bloke. Some of the areas look accessible. Looking forward to doing some stuff up that way when we move there. Maybe we can get together and you could show us some spots👍👍😉

[@colinmartin9451]

@@TylerThompson90 just a quick one fella....what do you use for deflating your tyres when out? And what do you recommend for re inflation? A built in compressor or stand alone ?

[@TylerThompson90]

Just use an ARB tyre deflator and just have a compressor I connect to the battery to re inflate, its not a built in one

[@tika_andhini]

Hi tyler, how long did you walk from the parking spot to the cave at limeburners national park? And how do we find the way through the cave? Thanks, love your videos!

[@TylerThompson90]

Hello, the walk is only 10-15 minutes from the carpark and you won't get lost in the cave, its isn't very big :)

[@mattevans3212]

Great vid mate 👌🤙

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@mikehzz9848]

Excellent video. I did that trip a few years ago but didn't know about the dunes, are they near Hungry Gate camping area? PS, they've jacked the beach permit fees up a fair bit.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you! Yeah I did notice beach fees have gone up a fair bit lately, keeping us broke haha. They are about half way between Crescent and Hungry mate

[@christopherrundle7845]

Hey mate where did you camp on those dunes?

[@michaelbarnes1123]

I did Crowdy Bay National Park last week. This looks just as good! Great video mate

Good stuff mate, Which beach did you camp at again? I reckon I need to go there too. Cheers Steve

We’re heading up here on the way to Byron for a road trip for New Years, planning to stay over night - do you have to book any campsites?

[@TylerThompson90]

Im pretty sure most of the campsites are pay as you arrive but not 100% sure, it will be crazy busy around then, might be a struggle to get a spot
