Awesome video as always Nick and Mathilde. This was an epic adventure Fraser Island was incredible definitely a bucket list item when visiting Australia. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s journey around the world.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Fraser Island is such a magical place, we were so lucky to experience it in this manner !

[@manicmondayeveryday]

I’m really surprised more people don’t subscribe to your channel. You two do an amazing job filming and making the videos. I’ve been following you for quite awhile. I appreciate all you do! Thank you for sharing the world with those of us who don’t travel very much!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

thank you so much it is very encouraging!!!! we hope! if you can share it with your friends :)

[@LucasTJahn]

Nice job on not getting stuck 😁 What did you do differently? Lower tire pressures, better tires, more gas? 😁

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

lower tire pressure for sure. And pretty slow and steady to keep traction

[@justinneway8534]

Your Fraser/K’gari journey and videos were fantastic. I really enjoyed being there with you.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

We're so glad you enjoyed it! It was one of our favorites. thank you Justin

[@grahames9228]

Fraser Island, it's a gem.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

really is!

[@benjerrim]

great to hear Mathilde say 'ripped off'.... so Aus!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Hey ben! nice to see you here! I kind of really enjoy Australian slang.. I made it a goal to leave this country with some of it as part of my globish English

[@ratnadipmajumdar8230]

That' was a wonderful 👍🏻 journey with the sea at door step 😊. Super experience 😊

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Yes it was!

[@nicoleziegler6112]

You guys are building such a treasure chest of memories! You will have zero regrets when you are older because you did it all...and then some! And I agree with one of the comments below, you really should have waaaaaay more subscribers! The quality of your videos are superb!

[@clupu2]

Awesome experience!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

amazing indeed

[@joannridgway7972]

OH WOWZER I loved this episode ! I was able to visit Frasier Island about 20 years ago ,so it was most refreshing to revisit with you guys ! I was hoping you two could go snorkeling at the great bearer reef ,for sure it’s worth the efforts. I’m not so young anymore but I certainly enjoyed your adventures! Enjoy you will never regret these years ! Thanks for sharing ❤❤

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

oh that must have been really nice! we thought about doing the snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef but after asking many people it seem that the affordable options would havee brought us to sections of the reef that are now very damaged. other options would be out of our budget. in Indonesia we should get much more affordable and as beautiful reef to explore! that was the decision making process hahaha

[@PaddyaroundtheWorld]

Incredible scenery really enjoyed watching this episode 10/10

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Thank you ! :)

[@junefirst500]

Amazing so beautiful! Thanks Brave Nick Metalida!

thank you June!

[@hughbatchelor8599]

Best 4x4 challenge for the best 4x4xfar.... Frazer Island. You literally sailed through all the challenging crossings. My most enjoyed overlander video of that location by far. Love your channel as always. Look forward to the LR meet especially as I couldn't make it. God Bless. H

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

whooohoooo thank you so much Hugh!

[@ray9880]

Awesome beach drive. What a beautiful place.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

It really is!

[@DominiquevonF]

Thanks!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

thank you so much for this support Anna !!!

[@mariannewinkelman7255]

I loved this episode,what a privilege to see all those whales from the drone. Thanks for sharing. Hope you get to scuba or snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef. That’s bucket list stuff? Enjoy your adventures. 😊

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

long story short we decided to not go. For our kind of budget we have been advised that the day trips bring to areas that are quite damaged and getting white. Other better options would be too expensive. so we decided to keep that money for Indonesia where there are really good reefs accessible for cheaper. so just for my birthday nick got us the flight above the reef so we could see it!!! that is the thought process...

[@scubapro5057]

I love all of your Amazing videos! Be safe!

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

thank you so much !!!

[@joaosoter]

In Brazil, there is a beach with more than 240km, it is the longest coastal strip in the world and it is possible to cross it by car. It's called Praia do Cassino.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

so cool! must be a pretty long drive

[@travellersnestoverland]

Inskip point is our favorite campsite in Australia

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

[@stevestott1514]

Such a beautiful place! I can’t imagine there being a place better but I’m going to keep watching to see if you can find one. Taking a trip with you guys would be awesome! If only I could.

check out the bridal track ,it runs from the top of qld to victoria but can be done in sections

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

thank you!

[@DerekEdwards-cz4ft]

@@NextMeridianExpedition sorry, i meant to tell you about the national trail which runs the length of the great dividing range which can be walked ridden on bike or horseback or driven in a 4x4 ,i got the names mixed up ,this can be done in sections with over night camping or pub stays

[@tumblina7876]

I’m really shocked at how many place allow vehicles on the beach. It sure does destroy things in certain areas.

[@mollymuch2808]

Well there are 12 thousand beaches hardly anyone goes to most of them

[@andreloshon3344]

simply amazing frazer island bye bye.........hows the water temp.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

on the west it was quite good. maybe 23 degrees, on the east we did not try it looked colder

[@raymondallo9947]

Why is it that people struggle in their modern 4x4 and good old Defender just makes look like walk in the park. I will for now assume that some people did not deflate their tires enough.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

yes totally, we told a few, but in this kind of place people do their thing hahahah

[@RichardVac]

Beautiful! Adventure, l would love to do the same. What size tires are you using on Albatross?

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

It’s epic! We have 265/75/16 tires 😁

[@RichardVac]

@NextMeridianExpedition They look bigger. I see your Land Rover is great offroad. Loved the adventure.❤️❤️

[@andrewcaldwell2275]

Great vid, knew Albo would make it through 👍 What mapping app do you use on your phone?

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

we use mapout! we love it

[@basildavidson4597]

👍🏻

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

[@goingnowhere7845]

If Nick went horse riding and Mathilde motorbiking, that would be a cool side trip.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

hahahah we should do that !!

[@tm8747]

its a beautiful thing to see your videos, but i wondering when is there going to be another nick or mathilde?

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

hahahahah not yet not yet

[@grahameroberts8109]

Fraser K’gari never disappoints. You made the sand driving look easy compared to some others. I’m interested to know if you used traction control and CDL. Obviously, lower tyre pressures which newbies don’t do properly, if at all. Thanks for taking us along. 🙏👍🏻🦘

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

We used the CDL :) it is standard on defender, we dont have traction control nor front or rear diff lock but went perfect!
