Remote Solo Multi-Day Hiking in Outback Australia - Kennedy Ranges, WA

In this video I go multi-day solo hiking in the Kennedy Ranges in remote & outback Australia. There are multiple hiking trails within the Kennedy Ranges National park including Drapers Gorge, Escarpment Trail, Honeycomb Gorge, Temple Gorge and Sunrise View. I combine these trails into one loop & camp the night at Temple Gorge Campground before getting up bright an early to catch the sunrise glowing across the vast Australian landscape.

Wow, incredible filmmaking, very atmospheric, drones are incredible. Also an amazingly beautiful spot.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Thanks mate, they certainly add another perspective. Great spot to visit if you can ever make it there

[@leroux-p]

One of the most relaxing videos I’ve ever seen

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Cheers Pieter

[@leoreimond6074]

Absolutely epic mate. This is the kind of isolation and remoteness that I dream about.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Cheers Leo. You really do get a sense of freedom like no other when you’re in places such as these

[@tiborstark3425]

I loved watching those vast, remote lands and envied your solitude.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

It’s hard to beat isolation like that

[@k.whiking4372]

One word, fantastic.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Thanks!

[@deldridg]

Mate - love your work. My missus and I were totally engrossed in your vid and having travelled pretty extensively around this country and the globe, it's great to get such a top notch intro to places we've not yet been to. Your wrap up was excellent and we particularly enjoyed the footage in combo with the music choices. Clearly you put a lot of work into your videos and we really appreciate it. You have new subscribers here and we're looking forward to enjoying and sharing your channel. Big cheers from Sydney - Dave

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Thanks mate really appreciate the kind words. It does take a lot of work but the creative process is half the enjoyment for me! Hopefully I can head over towards your neck of the woods and knock out some hikes there in the near future

[@deldridg]

@@JoshCarrHikes Well, let us know if you're headed this way and we can point you some gorgeous hikes in the Sydney region that few know about.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

@@deldridg Will definitely do that! Cheers Dave

[@ashlim89]

Ahhhh so brave !! Amazing video and mind blowing views ... well done 👏👏👏👏

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Cheers!! Not too sure about the about the brave part though 😂

[@ashlim89]

@@JoshCarrHikes brave brave brave! I wish I could pull something like this off without ending up on a missing persons:( Binging on all your videos now haha !

[@zonacamphike2904]

Amazing views! You got some great shots in there. Great job!

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Thanks mate

[@chuggers96]

Unreal, the drone shots of the ranges at sunset gave me goosebumps! F*^king awesome video as always Josh

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Thanks again mate. Was hard to choose which drone shots to throw in the video as I had so many to pick from!

[@victoryoneable]

Excellent fossils in that area too. Very easy to find, you can't take them home though. The arid scrublands are my favourite part of WA.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

About 7 years ago we went a bit further inland than the Kennedy Ranges for a university unit and I remember being amazed at the amount of fossils everywhere. Unfortunately didn’t see any on this trip but I wasn’t really looking for them. Big fan off the more arid regions too

[@Speedgullx]

Thanks for posting, looks like an awesome hike. Good to see something different from the SW.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Cheers! Can be hard to stay away from the SW when it’s so appealing

[@morletravels]

Fantastic video! Great footage and well edited plus a great guide at the end. Thanks for sharing this adventure!

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Cheers!

[@youreworthyourweightinavoc7189]

So dry and barren up there. I hope you're gonna investigate and do some cool off-track walks in Karijni. I've heard you can piece together some great multi-dayers up there. Plus if you liked this, you are gonna love the Larapinta when you get there one day.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

I went to Karijini about 2 years ago and absolutely loved it - Really is other worldly walking through those gorges. Seriously can't wait to do the Larapinta either. As soon as thenWA borders open up and it's in season I'll be headed there!

[@carlreid4161]

Wow, those ranges are spectacular and very unique the Honeycomb Gorge particularly Josh, I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before. Loved the remoteness and that colour mate. Cheers for putting this up very enjoyable film.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Cheers Carl, was bloody great getting to experience it. Pretty crazy how diverse the landscape is in WA

[@lennycrazy3969]

Fantastic videos mate u have inspired me to take up hiking working on getting the gear now. Thanks 👍

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Great to hear! Be careful, it can be a little addictive 😜

[@codysheridan100]

Love the thought in the shots, especially the macro ones :)

[@JoshCarrHikes]

They're usually the most difficult too as I have to set the focus and half the time take my bag off so I can see what's going on. Glad they're appreciated! 😅

[@codysheridan100]

I'm the kind of guy who will stop for half an hour to take pics of a bug 😂. I think it gives time to appreciate their world, and by extension the world around us. I normally photograph when I dive, I've tried underwater video with limited success!

[@timgoddard1113]

Great shots again Josh. The drone really showed off the terrain and it is now on the list for a visit/hike. Great editing as always. I love your post walk review/summations. No glossing and I love the bits you love - they shine through.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Cheers Tim. As you say I really do love getting the drone out for that perspective you wouldn't otherwise be able to get from the ground. I haven't been able to use it in my last few adventures due to regulations so I'm really itching to throw it in the air. Thanks for watching and hope you've had a good chrissy!

[@vd4465]

You have a talent for filming and a good eye for camera angels. Nice and relaxing videos. I prefer the silent hike with calm music and at the end the comments. Maybe you can insert a map of your route and location at the beginning of your videos too. Thanks

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Appreciate the kind words. I'll be honest, I have thought about it but I've always been unsure on how I'd incorporate it into the video. Open to suggestions on this one though!

[@vd4465]

@@JoshCarrHikes you could insert a Australian map and drop a pin on the location at least. I tend to switch to google maps to research your hike location. But as an Australia lover, l like to do that and research the location. Not sure if others would do the same. Anyways all the best with your KZbin journey.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

🤔 definitely something I’ll consider. Perhaps I’ll start including that in the wrap up at the end of the videos. Thanks for reaching out

[@delphinelesterlost3285]

Very dry but the drone shots are intense!

[@raineaye]

Stunning scenery and masterful video. Thanks for taking us along the journey 👌🏼

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Thanks Lorraine

Amazingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing this hike, Josh.

Thanks Angelica :)

omg you went here all by your self! I would love to do that but super scared :D

Just got to get out of the comfort zone 😉

Great video Mate.

Cheers!

[@jonahdsouza6221]

Production and editing is next level, crazy how you only have 1.1 k subsy ou definitely deserve more. 6:43 is absolute vibes !

Cheers Jonah, appreciated!

The Kraig Adams of Straya. This is a complement.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Cheers Craig. He’s the GOAT, so any comparison to his work I’m stoked with

[@goinferal5815]

Well done Josh, thanks for sharing - this one wasn't even on my radar.

[@person.X.]

This is great. I would love to head up and do this hike but I have probably left it a bit late to do it now as like you I am not a fan of hiking when it gets too hot.

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Absolutely recommend heading up there if you get the chance. There’s always next year!

[@jaxonjohnston6169]

Amazing video! This is the stuff of dreams.

[@haydene492]

Awesome video

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Looks like we're in unchartered territory. Breaking the rule of watching a video when you're not in it, who would have thought

[@haydene492]

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me

when you been locked down for covid for 4 months then have a motorbike accident after it then get a quick holiday for prison for 6 months cause of a road rage incident, damn this would be freedom no tourists like here crowding the place when you wanna get away from the city rush, my fiancee is from wa but im a redhead i like me cold down here in tas haha would love to experince something like this great vid josh keep em coming mate

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Cheers mate, it’s a completely world to Tassie hey. In the outback of WA you could easily go for days, even weeks without seeing out single soul. Pretty hard to beat the hiking trails in Tassie though!

[@TheCheese1988]

How did you learn to take such nice drone footage?

[@JoshCarrHikes]

Had plenty of practice over the years

[@bigal4969]

Brilliant mate love your videos

Cheers!
