postans hanger for his plane there was 2 strips ,short one and a long one i work over there in the logging days just before it ended.

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Desert man, Thanks, I could not find any info on it at all. It must of been a lot of hard work, in the heat, with midges, mozzies, etc. Do you know roughly when it was built? Cheers, karl

Another great video, looks like cow girl is trying a new position 😁.

Hi Derek, Yep, she is back up now……

[@markedward5941]

Fantastic vid folks . I thought only us locals knew about the old hanger , I sat out a cyclone ( mainly just endless rain ) there for a few days in the 70's . Roo's use to lay around in it in summer and on one visit we shared it with a 4m carpet , still the biggest i've seen . He'd have been there living on birds but I guess he ate the occasional joey or dingo pup . I think the Valley of The Giants track might be shut because of dangerous trees before the Valley section , one's that didn't fall in the fires

Thanks Mark. 👍

Hi Karl, The exact same thing happened to me back in 1995 a car wouldn’t slow down and I was in my land cruiser with a Crate on the back on a narrow track on lean the other vehicle didn’t stop and ripped my tarp and bent the crate, well then it was ON I was a lot younger and fitter then but after a bit of a chat I got it sorted and they were backpackers!!!! Cheers mate 👍🍻🇦🇺

[@nowhereboundtouring]

We were lucky, no swapping of any paint in the end. Cheers, karl

[@SpeedSmith]

Excellent video thanks guys

[@nowhereboundtouring]

thanks speedy, appreciate your thoughts. cheers Katty

[@kevinlucas8552]

Great work once again, nature stills were a feature as was the beach at night. I love being beside the ocean at night. Rainforest drives looked awesome, I could almost smell it. Fancy camera work which must have taken quite a few takes made Kattys float down the creek a feature too. I was a little concerned when Katty reported filling with petrol at happy valley, Karl didn’t seem concerned though……😎. I think that young lass on the skim board might have an Instagram account as I’m sure I saw her taking your picture a couple of times…. The sudden cut when disengaging from that white SUV is a bit suss…I was waiting to see the paint swapping. What happens on Fraser, stays on Fraser huh? 🤣. WW 1 airfield on Fraser….🧐 😅. Oh, I totally agree with Kattys disgust regarding that nappy. People, not a fan…🤨 Great work, thanks.

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Gday Kevin, Thanks for supporting us, we do appreciate it. The float down the creek was all Kattys idea. It worked out well. In the end with the SUV, we had our hands full trying not to destroy it, so we could no longer film it. We are glad to report that there was no swapping of any paint, but we were only 10mm apart in the end….. Cheers, Karl & katty

I like your videos. Have a nice trip. Greatings from Sweden

Amazing video vlog.😍

The hanger & runway was used by the forestry contractors & later was used by contractors working on Kingfisher Bay. But primary use was for forestry, the old northern forestry camp wasn’t far from the airstrip.

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Thanks James, We looked for info on the hanger, and found nothing……so we appreciate your info. Cheers, Karl & katty

[@lappersaustralia2842]

Nice series showcasing Fraser. It's such a beautiful spot. Not sure where you are now but we love Moreton, kind of a mini Fraser with no dingoes and fires are allowed when there are no fire warnings. The guy at the beginning, the guy in the white fourbie and the nappy leaver must be in the same league. 🙄 Cheers Annette 🥂

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Hi Annette, Thanks for the tip about Moreton Is. We have definitely met some characters while travelling, some good and some not so good 👍 Cheers, karl

[@gerdacoonan7250]

Another great episode guys. Sadly, the lack of courtesy and decency by a few people is aptly displayed for all to see, again. Some people should just stay home !!!!. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share, much appreciated, take care, cheers.

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Gday Bigkev, We are glad you enjoyed the episode. Unfortunately the type of person that does that sort of thing, just does not care, and never will. Cheers, karl

Great stuff guys, I like the wreak shot, nice vid, what's the camera you had with mic on top, the shots look really great 👍

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Gday Rick, Thanks for watching 👍 We have a Panasonic GH5. Great for photos and video. Cheers, Karl.

Hey, sorry may have missed it but what happen to the BoerBulls?

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Hi Francois, Our male is having a break from travelling and staying with our son, the female passed away about a year ago. Cheers, karl

Sorry to hear, thanks for letting me know..

[@jimbeaver27]

Just curious, can you shift from HI to LO range on the fly or must you be stopped to do that? Still waiting on my Isuzu camper in Japan.

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Hi Jim, To go from high to low you must be stopped, like most 4WD’s. 2wd to hi 4WD can be done on the move. Thanks for watching and supporting us. Cheers, karl

[@peterdoyle3205]

You think that is expensive for fuel. I did the Canning Stock Route in 2018 and fuel at the half way point was $3.40 a liter.

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Hi Peter, Yep, that is expensive, I assume it will be about $5 per litre now….. that’s got to hurt😥

[@wazheamadman6086]

Why did you guys decide to go with National rego ?

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Hey Wazhe, I assumed all new trucks were registered with the National reg now?, as they just did it that way….

Hi Garrett, Lucky we were only crawling along, or we would of been rubbing, that’s for sure. Cheers, karl

[@GreyBeckham]

Shed cant be that old , it has manufactured trusses and gang nail plates. I'm guessing it was built for Nat Parks or for the Sandy Cape Lighthouse.

[@nowhereboundtouring]

Gday KV, That’s what I thought when I saw the nail plates. It’s not in the right spot for the NP or the light house, but it is on the old runway, so I’m not sure. Maybe it was a late addition to the runway?

Isn't the truck a 4WD on 4WD tracks? 🤔
