when I was there, there was water. with tent, bond fire, billy, looking at the Milky Way. Most beautiful sight I have ever seen. The bareness, vastness, unforgiving nature command your respect in silent. So beautiful yet so deadly.

[@vk4jsn]

You really can’t beat the desolation of the desert outback. There’s something other worldly about the place, just you, the sky and the wind. It’s probably my favourite location in Australia.

[@allanrussell353]

Same, Ive traveled solo for many visits to the outback, its something of an other worldly experience.

[@blueelephantthailandtours8860]

Magical sunset in your adventure.

[@Surge_LaChance]

Amazing. Thanks for taking us out there. Makes our lowest point in The States look like a tiny mud puddle. Best regards from Colorado!

[@johndiaz7240]

Such a beautiful video, you are a brave young man,your folks must be very proud of you.Thanks

[@wynter428]

i love how the sunset llooked it was beautiful

[@rlhydn3438]

Captured everything about the area we loved and admired, echoing our exact thoughts. Still one of my favourite campsites to date

[@IntotheWildFilms]

Fantastic work mate, thank you so much for sharing your journeys with us.

[@boba4083]

Thanks Brett. Your efforts are appreciated and some good advice thrown in there as well.

[@jrm4561]

Another great vid Brett, I admire what you're doing.

[@mijen4x4africa36]

Living in Africa all my life and doing the same thing still, and I'm nearing 70yrs now, you're on the right side of life young man and don't let anyone deter you. Your videos are very good I wish I had your editing gift. I'm still new with this technology. [e-mail]

[@woody1851]

Hi Brett - good to see on your way with your Landy again. Nice trip.

[@simonhilder7839]

Great video on Lake Eyre. I used to work up in that region for a few years and the best $5 I spent was on a fly net!. I know the flies all to well when trying to make something to eat.. A vast expanse but spectacular nonetheless.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Thanks Simon. Yes a problem, but right at dusk they all disappear and the sunset and deep sky colours can be enjoyed in peace.

[@magicnik8881]

Great trip! The blue of the sky in the opening scene is awesome!

[@TheOldaz1]

Thanks Brett, good to see you travelling again.

[@vato7oco]

I love ur channel mate..love and respect from Singapore..may success always be alongside u..

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Thank you so much 😀

[@vato7oco]

@@RoamingTheOutback my pleasure..god bless..

[@THESUNNYSIDEPHIL]

Awesome trip! Really cool and well edited video. Thumbs up 👍 mate!

[@Phil_McAvity]

Amazing/weird landscape. 👍🏻

[@MR-dv6ms]

Thanks for another fantastic video, I appreciate your efforts and I love that you do it in a Landrover

[@Horizon344]

Nicely made & interesting travelogue. 1.15 - That's why the Aussies invented cork hats. That road at the beginning for 40 miles looked pretty tuff on the suspension =

[@John-jd3nr]

What an interesting place

[@ArsathSally]

Awesome trip.. You are really brave!

[@emu4wd]

Another great Vid. Lake Eyre is a sensational and unique place to visit. A flight (from William Creek) over the lake was a great highlight for us. Steve

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Would have love to have taken a flight. Perhaps on a future trip when its' full.

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Great stuff Brett!

[@lardinhoredbeard5089]

mate, that meal looked awesome. Respect here from the UK. Beautiful stuff, brother.

[@solarbuduk]

Fantastic video 👍

[@cheznjordz5970]

Such a beautiful place! We are from South Australia, been there a number of times! Seeing this makes us miss home a little.......

[@RoamingTheOutback]

You're quite lucky to have so many magnificent places close to home. I would love to see it full someday.

[@cheznjordz5970]

Its so far away from us at the moment! We are currently travelling around Europe! We will subscribe and hope to see you back in South Aussie land soon ;D

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Thanks for the sub. Enjoy your travels!

[@wizardorlegend]

I can remember a program on that happening shown here in the uk. It was a ray mears program about remote travel. He rented a 110 and he showed all the extra kit he has to by because the rental company didn’t supply them. I can remember it because they tied to dig there stuck car out with plastic plates because it’s all they had. They got stuck by a small shelter there was a rain butt there with over 125 litres of water in it. They had lots of water in the car as well they had enough water for a good while. Her boots melted in the sun so she set off walking in her partners boots. There was some mix up with the visitors log at the hotel so no one knew they were out there. It only took the a police officer 10 minutes to get the car unstuck as he lowered the tyre pressure to a pressure something with experience knows to do. It’s a reminder to everyone to stay safe when your out and about.

[@adelarsen9776]

Ray Mears rented a 100 series LC for that episode. Yes, a sad story.

[@wizardorlegend]

Ade Larsen you right I found the episode a few days later on dvd, I think he was in the 110 in some sort of desert talking about a downed aircraft and how the crew licked condensation off metal oil drums. I honestly can’t imagine what down under must be like in summer I get ratty and restless when we get our 3 days of 25 degree sun a year. I really would like to see the horizontal falls, but just don’t think I could cope with the heat.

[@adelarsen9776]

Australia is full of European people. No one dies in summer. It's a little warm in Jan and Feb but all year the weather is good. The horizontal falls were made famous by Malcolm Douglas who is a pioneer like Ray Mears, Les Hiddins, Ted Egan and that guy who paints pictures who lives in Broken Hill.

[@Gaddman100]

The constant flies would drive me insane. Lol

[@YuriParinduri]

This is awesome mate, i also have something like this..p

[@johnprice2606]

Nice video

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Awesome video! I bet you have to have extra tanks of gasoline, for that long trekk.👋😎👍good video!

[@patrickjobling8676]

These flys ...😂🤣😂😎pip pips and carryon

[@nomadsurvival4952]

The only thing I have seen as desolate as that area you were in was the pacific ocean just nothing to see but water for as far as you can see.. I have never seen that kind of desolation as you showed on land thats epic...

[@RoamingTheOutback]

It's a magical place to be. Would rather be on land than stuck in a vast ocean.

[@digisuboob]

Just visited this myself... Caroline must have gone through hell out there.. she wasn't even close .. wouldn't even be half way back to the main road

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Yes a sad fate, and no reason to make the walk with the supplies they had available.

[@gaving.griffon2703]

I'd say the landscape would be more like walking on mars.

[@longrider42]

Yeah, I've seen that documentary also. So desolate out there. At least you've got radio's too call for help. Yep, we have corrugated dirt roads in Wyoming, where I live. Nasty things when your on two wheels

[@loveOldMen2023]

I think you should go back again to the lake eyre again because it was full with water again

[@kenmarapese9085]

Excellent vid! I was surprised at the moisture beneath the salt, is the water table high there?

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Lake Eyre is the lowest point in Australia, so the water table probably isn't too far below.

[@MatthewSutton1]

RIP Gabriele Caroline Grossmueller.

[@obedevert28]

You should have a bicycle or a quad bike to venture out to these uncharted territories. But be safe distance from your base.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Too much hassle... my Defender gets me where I need to go.

[@obedevert28]

@@RoamingTheOutback Hoping the best for you. But Ronny Dahl and some other people have trailers attached with their rigs. You should exploit all the options and choose that suits you most. May be this is moving to the next level.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

It's too dangerous for me to travel solo towing a trailer. If I get it stuck, jackknifed down a track or come to a dead end and can't reverse out I'm stuffed. I prefer to keep my truck minimal so I can enjoy the bush and not take everything with me. Working on a new video now to show some of my future ideas for my truck though, so stay tuned.

[@takayama1638]

Man, Australia is bleak. Them flies would drive me crazy! I’ve only been to Sydney.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

It has its highlights... and the flies I hear are particularly bad at this moment

[@shauncuffe1189]

they are just exta vitamins LOL

[@mattluszczak6567]

Hi brett hows the 200tdi. Seems like my lift pump packs it in every 6 months. I hope you have spares. Have you had trouble with your lift pump?

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Going well. Never had a problem with fuel lift pump, though I do carry a spare. Thanks.

[@cubitme]

The fecking flies mate. How the feck u ignore it?

[@ROYALWAND]

do you still make these videos?

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Not currently travelling. So no big trips planned. May be some more short weekender camping trips filmed, but depends on work leave.

[@grahammewburn]

70 km is a 2 day walk at best

[@teganl5705]

Probably the worst thing to eat around flies is tuna lol

[@RoamingTheOutback]

haha.. Thanks for the advice ;-)

[@lindagroundwater9787]

What sets you’re presentation apart from all the others is style eg...your not out there to bash the crap out of your vehicle. Have you been offered big brand sponsorship yet?

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Thank you. No big brand offers yet. Not sure if they could offer me anything I'd want anyway.

[@joyleenpoortier7496]

Please get your facts straight. I cant stand people like you who think they know everything. You said lake Eyre has only filled 3 times the last 150 years. I am 65 years old and i know that lake Eyre has filled at least 3 times. Why should we patreon you show if you talk crap.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Do your research before you attack and criticise! www.parks.sa.gov.au/find-a-park/Browse_by_region/flinders-ranges-outback/kati-thanda-lake-eyre-national-park Taken directly from the SA government parks website: "..the lake has only filled to capacity three times in the last 160 years." It was 150 years back when I made this film.

[@adearthical]

Worst place in the world. Gibber and salt. Only good for a nuclear waste dump.

[@shauncuffe1189]

bullsh*t it is

[@petergrant9667]

I just do not like the time of the video, very small! I bet a dead fly like I'm not the only one!

[@RoamingTheOutback]

If you've seen 10 seconds of the road in, you've pretty much seen the whole track, minus the highlights I filmed.

[@petergrant9667]

Googs Track have 41 minutes and half. And it is not boring to see, on the contrary. I've seen it several times!

[@RoamingTheOutback]

touché. I did put everything I had into Googs though. Lake Eyre was just a holiday for me. I'll aim to make longer trip vids once I return to the road. Thanks for watching!

[@boba4083]

And I was wondering who would give this a dislike. Free to watch, or not watch if it's too short for you.

[@petergrant9667]

Bob A, You idiot, I was one of the first to see this video and one of the first to load the "LIKE" button, later, I commented! And I've been following this channel since 2011 ...
