I have really enjoyed being subscribed to your series, and learning about your preparation. Now that your adventure has officially started, I look forward to each new video even more, as it is the fruits of all your hard labor. I realize how difficult it is to film and edit these, but your handwork doesn't go unnoticed. For someone working a normal job in the United States, living a pretty standard life, your videos offer a nice view of the world. Your videos take me where I cant go myself! Be safe!

Michael Kokes Thanks mate. You are welcome. Thank you for your continued support.

[@MatthewSutton1]

totally agree 100%

[@adelarsen9776]

This is a place I need to go to. Thank you for showing it. Cheers

[@RoamingTheOutback]

You're welcome mate. Thanks for watching.

[@sallyoudale]

Super interesting video! Thanks for sharing! Hope you enjoyed visiting my hut. I’m still yet to visit the place myself!

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Thanks Sally. Perhaps 2018 is the year to take a trip and explore! A beautiful spot, you'll love it.

I spent heaps of time at Youdales as a kid, its an amazing place. The more I read about it the more I realise how special it to so many different folk. When it was taken over by the NP I was somewhat angry, but in time it has proved to preserve the natural, aboriginal and pastoral history of the place. There are some great walks around it as well, such as Kemps Pinnacle, Mt Banda and Marys View (back towards the coast). You could do a blog on those spots alone. Great blog, will have to follow your travels.

+Peter Taylor Thanks Peter. Yes loved my time there. Very relaxing when all alone for 3 days. Didn't get around to the walks though, may add that to a future adventure on my next trip around.

[@RandomDoive]

[@AlloffroadAu]

you had quite a bit of Water in the brook, it's a beautiful place I have been there a few times, last time only 3 weeks ago

[@RoamingTheOutback]

+AllOffroad.com.au Yes.. it had a good flow to it. Had to walk it first to set up the camera. Nearly got swept away! One of my favourite spots during my round australia trip.

[@berniebgf]

Great Video, keep them coming.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

berniebgf Thanks. Will do.

[@Chris-iu5ol]

Love your videos mate! Good on you.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Thanks Chris!

[@mjallenuk]

Fantastic! Keep them coming thick and fast ... Babbling Brook... did you say Bubbling? I wonder if that's Aus thing or a slip of the tongue? lol

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Matt Allen Thanks.. nope I said bubbling.

[@mjallenuk]

Roaming The Outback You folk have a whole other language .. I can't even decipher what you're saying when you say goodbye .... toolaaroo?? My uncle said it to me last time he was here and because he was late I didn't have time to ask him about that one... lol

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Matt Allen i think you mean hooroo. It's just slang.. it has no actual meaning that I know of other than goodbye.

[@mjallenuk]

Roaming The Outback Goodness.... I was a mile off... You all say it slightly differently...lol I wonder how that one came about?!? Cheers chap... ;o)

[@tomvalter720]

Beautiful!

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Wouter Tom Mulder Thanks

[@danieljohn589]

Great video, looks like a beautiful area! Can't seem to find any information on this track though or where to access key.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

The ranger base in Walcha has the key.

[@danieljohn589]

@@RoamingTheOutback Thank-you, I'll make contact with them.

[@peterquinn9915]

Hi wondering how steep it is to get down to you dales hut from Kookaburra also how much time does it take

[@RoamingTheOutback]

You fairly steep.. with low range mandatory or you won't get given a key.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

From memory time wise maybe an hour... Can't remember for sure.

[@MatthewSutton1]

Great video Brett. I'm a new 4x4 driver. May I ask what gear and range settings you were in as you crossed the fast flowing creek about 2.55m into your video? I'm guessing you also walked across first to both gain the depth and stability as you carried your camera over. Thanks as always. Love your work!

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Thanks Matthew. Yes I walked the creek first to test depth and bottom for hardness. Nearly lost my footing and took a dip in. From memory I would have been in low range 1st, as my car doesn't have much power so I wanted maximum throttle response and power. The current was also quite strong so for me even 2nd gear may have been too high if the engine couldn't cope propelling through the water. I didn't want to risk stalling in the middle and getting pushed down stream.. at least in first gear I can over rev the engine keeping it going no matter what. For something more powerful low 2nd may have been better as it would get more speed and wouldn't over rev the engine.. just something you need to learn with your car what the engine is capable of.

[@MatthewSutton1]

Thanks Brett. Appreciate your answers and feedback. I am learning from your videos.

[@ramfrancisuk]

Very nice
