WE HIKED AUSTRALIAS TALLEST MOUNTAIN

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

This is the style of content that we love. You still make it a vlog but actually do a great job of showcasing the location. So many vloggers go somewhere and all you see is their faces. Thank you for outstanding content we will definitely he heading there to do this too.

[@PeteWilsonAHCPhotography]

Great episode guys. I live in Adaminaby...near the north end of Kosciuszko National Park. Myself and a Team of people walked to the top of Kosci in December 2020 to achieve a personal goal for me. I have Cerebral Palsy and I was 53 years of age at the time. Not only did I succeed in the walk but we raised $13000.00 for Cerebral Palsy Alliance thanks to some wonderful sponsorship from personal people and businesses who supported us. The walk should not be underestimated, its not just the distance, but walking at such high altitudes literally takes your breath away in more ways than one! Pleased you enjoyed the walk.

[@Bazanddeb63]

This would have to one of the best video’s you both have produced we absolutely loved watching this experience through both your eyes.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much for joining us for the journey! We are so proud of how this one came together, so happy we could share how stunning the area was! We really appreciate your comment 🙏🏼🩵

[@rebeccastevens2563]

What a great video!!!! I always get a little sad when your videos are over….. because they are THAT GOOD! Thanks for taking us along with you. Beautiful scenery!

[@warrencramer4516]

These 2 definitely had those feel good vibes from day 1! 👍❤

[@itsJackandMegan]

@@rebeccastevens2563 so kind of you to say thank you 🥹🙏🏼 really happy we could share how stunning it was there!

[@ourbluedemon3604]

You were so lucky to get such an amazing day! It’s very changeable up there! You guys really make amazing videos but this was one of your best!

[@Aansadventures]

A fantastic video highlighting the beauty of the place! As a local who has Mt Kosci on their door step I can say it never gets old! The animation was fun addition on the intro.

[@trevorwebb9495]

Hi Jack and Megan it sounds like you have a split intake hose hence why the engine light comes on when it’s under load the factory hoses are prone to splitting overtime.

[@lauriekibblewhite]

Are you towing in 4th gear or 5th gear? 5th is overdrive and you would be straining the gearbox and stressing the engine. I tow a 3.2 tonne caravan, and find that I lose nothing in fuel economy, and have power when needed towing in 4th (which is recommended by the experts). I'm now 77, and have been doing this for over 20 years, and I sometimes wish that I was that young to start again, and with the knowledge I have gained over that period of time. This video has to be up there as one of the best you have produced. You two are truly an inspiration.

[@79series]

Have a look at the size of the actual 5th gear inside the H151 and H152 gearbox and you wont be sweating over towing in 5th. The R151 gearbox found in their old troopy has a small 5th gear cog which you wouldn't want to tow much weight in. 4th - 5th towing depends on how much of an overdrive 5th is, the engines load vs rpm vs egts vs actual coolant temp (scangauge), and towing weight considering vehicle weight also. I find when towing with the current vehicle and van 4th uses more fuel at 100 than 5th but doesn't take much for a load increase (road incline) to have the coolant temp leave 83 and start to climb slowly where 4th is obviously need. I'm constantly motoring my scangauge 3 between the coolant temp, egt and fuel inst and 4th n 5th gear. 5th more over 100kph 4th more around 90kph give of take in between

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Fantastic experience. It is now on my bucket list. Thanks for the video. Also glad that whatever was wrong with the car is now fixed.

[@JasonAhl-z5d]

Thankyou so much for such an awesome video. Your smiles made me smile and also cry for your joy you were having. Keep up the great content ❤

[@PeterLongworth-u8d]

That was Amazing Thanks for taking us along. I've always wondered what it would be like up there and you have showed it off wonderfully

[@Ducksouttheredoinit]

Wow 🤯 you guys are clocking up the K’s! NSW is beautiful but yeah, hilly in that area. Mert fits in Anywhere 😊 Yep 👍 layer up! How scary to just … Stop! Snow is sooo fun. Congratulations 🎉 👏 😊 Another epic video 😎🤗👍🫶🏻👌🏼🦆

[@Bev-i9x]

Victoria has so many hidden gems and places that are so beautiful. I really hope you do spend some time here one day.

[@itsJackandMegan]

We will be back!

[@Aligator1959-t3j]

WOW another beautiful one added to my list! Thanks for letting us tag along on your excursions! 🤠

[@katerhind5044]

Awww Mannus Campground ❤ An equally memorable spot for us too and I knew it instantly from that second shot! It was the first free camp we stayed at and found on WikiCamps when trialling our set up, a few months before beginning our lap of Aus! We were in awe of the landscape, experienced the most epic sunset, and woke up completely surrounded by the thickest fog. It really made us think “Yup - can’t wait for this to be our life”. So cool to see you guys have a special connection to the same camp 💕

[@williamdavis9253]

Incredible video guys. Was great seeing it again Brought back memories from 50 odd years ago. Thanks 👍❤❤

[@theresehowes7282]

Great video Jack and Megan. Thanks for sharing. We love the Snowy Mountains! Have done plenty snowy trips and still can't get enough. We think Aussie's don't realise how beautiful, or big, the snow country is in Oz. We are planning another trip there soon-ish, and can't wait. Thanks again for sharing! 🙂🙂

[@Outandabout-au]

The animation…!!! All that effort to build Myrtle is now giving you great results and a great little home at the end of each day. ❤ beautiful video.

[@themagician96]

Amazing video guys! And you are so right “just go and do it”. We just got back from a trip to Uluru and it was incredible. Our country is so beautiful and more people need to go and experience everything it has to offer.

[@damiant5876]

"I'm looking down Shrek" made me laugh. Sensational trip with beautiful photography. Thanks for this one.

[@sallytodd8722]

Excellent video guys ❤ so awesome you made it up Kosciusko 👏 ✔️ well done 😊 thanks for taking us along

[@lisablack4919]

‘There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing’- I’m a Victorian but originally from QLD- have learnt to rug up, gum boots or raincoat on and get outside. Sometimes the most beautiful days are when you don’t expect them ☺️☺️ Loved this video, you guys should def do some more hikes!! I would love to see more of this 😍

[@freespirit_traveller_australia]

I absolutely loved this video. Your skills and techniques made it so enjoyable to watch. A mix of vlog, scenery, wildlife, and, of course, Myrtle. What a beautiful place that is now on my bucket list. ❤

[@karavanningdownunder]

Such a great video, so emotional when you reached the summit. You really do such a great job of capturing your moments and the landscape around you. Not many others do this like you do. Thank you for sharing your moments with us all. Definitely adding this location to our (long) list. Safe travels guys. ✌🏼

[@Lalais56]

I just love your enthusiasm, I’m old but you two are so cute , it puts a smile on my face , just like you said😊I love that you both get so excited about so many things and yes fabulous video and photography skills. Thanks 🙏

[@reeltomeal]

Oh wow, talk about emotional. It's one of the best episodes you guys have produced. We must have just missed you on our travels as your vlogs are trailing our same destinations over the last 2 weeks from the Central Coast NSW where we live, to the Great Ocean Road. Love you guys ❤

[@wildpeace]

My favourite part of NSW. I've gone through those roads in both a car and on a motorbike and it's just stunning scenery! You haven't lived though until you swim in the Thredbo river... very refreshing!! Loved this video.

[@wanderful_luna]

Stunning views! Adding this to my Aussie bucket list. Also Merv is now watching from my caravan's rear window ;)

[@CoxyR31]

Great video guys, makes me actually want to leave the tropics and go do that hike! New intro animation is great too!

[@TrevorTurner-l6f]

Amazing video guys! A wonderful part of the world. Thank you 🤩

[@Lainiefj]

Love the animation at the start ...soo cool and those views wow!! Great vlog as always

[@tandemtouring]

When I was up there at the beginning of the year, the visibility was only about 10 m, freezing cold with the wind coming straight of Antarctica

[@sydneyraj]

We have done this trip in Jan 24. There is more snow now. Your editing is excellent. Watching your videos is always a happy experience.

[@BUDDYTHEBEAST44]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!! I love the snow and never get to see it these days. My son loves going camping up that way. Megan you cracked me up when you asked Jack for a kiss, just after asking if you had a snotty nose............and he kissed you 😂😂😂😂

[@haveswagwilltravel]

You guys had perfect weather. When we lived in Canberra we used to take our sons there for altitude training with their swim squad each year. It’s a beautiful part of Oz. Now that you coped with that cold and loved it you can visit us in Scotland! Fantastic video. Loved the time, place and altitude stamps.

[@michelleE-k7v]

Wowzers 😮 So amazing guys! Some of your best work , that scenery! Must get there some day. Thank you 🙏

[@catherineduran-lepeuch7168]

Thank you ! Je retrouve le plaisir des premières vidéos où vous montriez de magnifiques endroits à découvrir. Je commençais à m'ennuyer de ne voir que l'intérieur de Myrtle. Bonne route ! 😊😊😊

[@coadyg]

Great video again guys. I suggest you get a diagnostic code reader so you can see what fault codes are being thrown up when the engine light comes on. Code readers are not that expensive will certainly be invaluable if you break down a long way from help.

[@lorencramp]

What an experience! Love the animation in the intro guys 🎉❤

[@BelindaBarker-yv2mi]

Thanks for sharing a beautiful part of NSW.

[@mikemiller6909]

Awesome part of the world. On the car light coming on under load, I had something similar and it turned out to be the after-market fuel filter that I was using. Replaced it with a more reputable, and new, one and all good (guessing a choked up air cleaner might do the same). Anyway, started following you guys as you did up the van, really glad you are using.

[@craigwoodhall1415]

Continue to love your adventures. As a Tasmanian I like the comparisons you make with certain locations. I was hoping to see Myrtle on the road on my travels back down the Hume or M1 from the Gold Coast, but sadly, I didn't see you. Looking forward to the next one

[@Ambowife]

Great place to stay at Mannis Lake, dog friendly and lots of kangaroos about especially at night. The Paddy's River Falls were fab too back in 2022 when we were at Mannis and Tumbarumba. Kosciuszko we did in November 2021 and were hiking through snow, sleet and wind in full wet weather hi-vis gear for a lot of it. Amazing place. I would love to do it again in warmer conditions. Great video guys. So much like Tassie ❤

[@Ambowife]

Did you get sunburnt from the reflection off the snow and the cold wind? Brrr

[@davewain363]

Awesome scenery guys. I have a photographer friend who treks Kozzy by foot most weekends, doing 20+ kms each time.

[@tobyhartley2829]

What a great walk - just did it yesterday! Seem to have been just behind you over the past few days lol. Now back in Canberra for the week - time to do a few jobs on our troopy. Best wishes 👍

[@maggiemae9188]

Thank you for sharing this amazing video, visited Thredbo/Perisher many years ago but never able to hike to the top - beautiful memories you are creating

[@danielnewton2821]

Thanks so much guys that was so good 👍

[@philandclarepatch6262]

Thredbo, Jindabyne and Mt Kosciusko are where we use to live! Such hoidmemories if home t by ere and like someone else said," younger get tired I f going back to visit the place!" Loved this video you two! Thx phil

[@jennyhonda9642]

So great! My Husband and I climbed a hill what we thought was Mt Kosciusko on our honeymoon 40 years ago. I remember my husband's joy at conquering a mountain. I saw a similar view on a road near Falls Creek, Victoria, which etched itself in my mind, those rolling hills are on top of Australia. The Great Dividing Range

[@alandummett8797]

The Alpine Way is a very scary road. We did it a few years ago with our campervan. It was getting dark and raining and some parts are so narrow. It is very hard to see what is coming the other way around some of the blind corners. Well done for taking Myrtle over idt.

[@scottdaviesvk2sdx319]

Top video team! I love the animation - short, informative and placed after the intro (mandatory IMHO). As for cold - you're kidding right? -3c is not cold, but then again you're from WA where 15c is considered chilly LOL. Jack, the 1HD-FTE is the greatest engine in the world, but Toyota didn't design it for drag racing. Make sure the boost can't go over 15psi or the computer will have a fit! Ask me how I know LOL. The lack of performance could also be due to a clogged fuel filter, especially when it happens straight after a fill-up. Happened to me in Bourke when on the way to the Simpson Desert. Always carry 2 spare fuel filters - they are not that hard to replace, and will eliminate one cause straight away. Cheers!

[@v8greg79]

So 'cool' guys from a new low to reaching a new high, its sure to lift your spirits.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Thall do donkey, thatll do(i got it Jack)😂. Safe travels guys 🤙

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Crazy to think that if you went in a straight line to the coast you would be 2200 meters above the sea. If you’re close to Canberra my wife and I would be happy to host you. You can leave Mertle with us while you explore. Either way please put a whole day aside to go to the War Memorial as it’s something you won’t forget and you will understand why it’s won so many awards. It’s like a fantastic museum rather than a war memorial and is stuffed full of exhibits you will see nowhere else. It will also make you feel proud to be Australian. Cheers, Stuart and Leanne.

[@mandydriscoll2043]

Loved this video...well done guys

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much Mandy! Glad you enjoyed this one 🥰

[@magicalvortex]

Awesome video, next Mount Bogong.

[@elaineblackmore5344]

I love the animation. It could go a little slower, though, I almost missed it. But amazing.

[@KristyHooson-s2t]

Omg the khancoban pass through to Kosi is the hardest road for towing! Many people blow their cars up! It’s so windy… you can go through Orbost/cann river/bemboka/jindabyne and then up to Thredbo which is still very scenic but much easier to tow through. I live in Thredbo and we just came back from Tassie towing and my partner was in no way Saving an hour or two going the pass, it’s just so hard on the car! Stoked you guys made it!!

[@Off.Track4x4]

Fantastic video, great editing Megan

[@thosebikepackers]

If you think those walks are cool, you should go to New Zealand!

[@itsJackandMegan]

Yesss we really need to go!!

[@caroldouglas4733]

Looks amazing ❤

Amazing video guys, how beautiful. I'm so glad you could experience that 🎉 Summit snacks are the best

[@itsJackandMegan]

@@howie_on_tour thanks mate!! Incredible journey.

[@brianharrigan2625]

Another wonderful experience. You should also have a look at The Waterfall Way which is between Armidale to Coffs Harbour. Many waterfalls to check out with the most spectacular in Dorrigo n/park where you can walk in behind the Falls. Cheers.

[@jamest3468]

Hi Kids glad you did this hike now I dont need two ( Im old ) great vid as always

[@mervynbrooks6621]

Absolutely awesome video loved it, you both always put a smile on my face thank you never give up never listen to the negative people

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much John! We are so glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@vanlifeshots]

I had no idea it was so cold there at this time of year. I was just near the NT/WA border recently, probably when you were filming this vlog, and it got up to 39C there. Blows my mind that Australia has such a difference in temperature.

[@paulsgarage3169]

I can guarantee you 100% that the sight of snow does NOT make me happy. Over 25 years of working in Alpine areas with the snow, wind, cold and the mud is just horrible (to me). Enjoying your videos and the new vlog.

[@itsJackandMegan]

😂😂😂 classic now I never thought of it that way!

[@andrewr171]

It's not something as simple as a constricted air filter or fuel filter needing to be changed?? I guess that doesn't explain why it happened in the wet...... Loved the vlog again!!! Happy travels!!!!

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

Great vid as always... didn't know you guys had snow or mountains in Oz, is that Mount Australia? It's like a Temu NZ ;)

[@woolly2426]

I,ve been wanting to do this walk for such a long time and now after watching you guys i am definately gonna cross this off my bucket list . Question : how long did it take too get to the top after getting off the ski lift ?? Awesome vlog , thanks so much Jack & Megan .

[@juliekhann7018]

So beautiful

[@stevebutler835]

Hi guys, if you get a chance when in nsw, look at Ash 12:12 ford Falls, & Ebor Falls... There are places you should look at like, Bingara, common cranky rock warialda, Glen riddle reserve, Barraba, Copton dam. Cheers....❤

[@itsJackandMegan]

Hey thanks for the recommendation!!

[@crochetcourtney4349]

AWESOME video! What month did you visit? Well be there next week & have no clue what to expect

[@itsJackandMegan]

@@crochetcourtney4349 thanks so much for watching! We visited a couple weeks ago so hopefully you get similar conditions! 🙌🏼

[@sisselnilsen4699]

When I was a student in the 1970ies I was in a group that reached the highest mountain of Norway, Galdhopiggen 2469 meters

[@itsJackandMegan]

That would have been incredible! Did you have clear weather?

[@sisselnilsen4699]

@itsJackandMegan Remember only that we crossed a glacier in tow to reach the top. Funny memory: took a photo by chance of my boot instead of the view! This wasnt in digital camera times!

[@Accolades70]

great vid... must do... one day.. :-)

[@yeahno307]

What month/approx dates did you do this? :O I'm hoping to get a bit of snow when I eventually do this walk, like you guys got! It looks amazing.

[@itsJackandMegan]

We did it just a couple weeks ago! 🥰

[@terryjeisman7550]

Kosciuszko id not Australia's highest mountain, that title goes to Mount McKlintok in the Antarctic Territory, followed by Mawsons Peak on Herd Island. You have climbed the highest mountain on Australias mainland.

[@Ninchi_TrueCrime]

Shame that you couldn’t have travelled back in time & showed yourselves this video when you were feeling overwhelmed by the caravan build!! Look where you are now 👀

[@jennydruze2152Jen]

So beautiful ❤

[@aerialworxwithspikee]

Is the path up wheel accessible

[@aussiewalkabout4x4]

I was had done a walk out to the Southernmost point of Aus the day before which wrecked me but the lady at the gate told me Kossie was only 8 kms return soi thought i could probably do that ... little did i know just how far it was ... I only did it because i was lied to LOL .... Edit, it was 19kms return !!!

[@itsJackandMegan]

😂 thanks for watching!!

[@terrysmith1307]

I dont know why but most utube travellers dont give NSW much time there is some of the best scenery in Oz here

Great video guys, wonderful scenery which you filmed beautifully and captured your emotions extremely well. Fun fact, I (a 70 year old officially fat and well gent) considered this trek for me and my 66 year old wife who is less fit than me and has medical issues earlier this year. I quickly realised that we had missed the boat for this, but your video has made me a happy man!
