[@wildcampingkev]

Wow, I thought the last one was pretty, that's just bonkers! What absolutely stunning country.

[@walkitoff.]

Hey Scotty do you by chance have a google maps link to this area?

[@geoffeagar9395]

Great video in beautiful country. Dead set, you have to learn how to fly fish!

@Scotty’s Gone Walkabouts what hat are you wearing please?

[@nicebikemate]

And down by Kosciusko, where the pine-clad ridges raise Their torn and rugged battlements on high, Where the air is clear as crystal, and the white stars fairly blaze At midnight in the cold and frosty sky, And where around the Overflow the reed -beds sweep and sway To the breezes, and the rolling plains are wide, The man from Snowy River is a household word today, And the stockmen tell the story of his ride.

[@rodgeorge7244]

Been there many many times and visited the grave of the man who inspired Banjo to write that poem .His name is Jack Riley and his grave is in the Corryong Cemetery.There was movement at the Station for the word had passed around that a colt from old Regret had got away and he'd joined the wild bush horses he was worth a thousand pounds and all the cracks had gathered to the fray

[@a.s.3267]

I was going to refer to him as 'Clancy of the Overflow'! Well done. 🐴🏞️

[@rodgeorge7244]

And Clancy of the overflow came down to lend a hand, no better horseman ever held the reins, for never horse could throw him while the saddle girths would stand, he learned to ride while droving on the plains.The mountain spoken of that the man rides down is Mt Leatherbarrel and to this day they say that Jack Riley is the only man to ever ride down it ,you should go walkabout up there Scotty there is a lot of history in that country I've been camping and fishing up there for over 50 years and I just love the place

[@rodgeorge7244]

@El Guapo mas macho It's an amazing place freezing cold in winter with a lot of snow and it can be hot as hell in the summer vast open plains and high mountain peaks ,and just the Kosciuszko national park covers an area of 6,900 km square Kilometres with many rivers ,streams and lakes with some fantastic Trout fishing for Brown ,Rainbow and Brook Trout .In the south western boundary it adjoins the Victorian Alpine National Park which covers another 6,474 Square Kilometres so it's a very large piece of country .

[@Andyb2379]

I’ve just woken to a grey, cold, rainy day in a lockdown London. Nothing better to start the day than to Immerse yourself in the Aussie landscapes by our favourite explorer. Cheers Scotty 🍻 - Andy

Look after yourself over in the UK Andy.👍🇦🇺🍺

Life changed, we used to watch only TV, now it’s more KZbin Netflix and TV. You are a big part of our KZbin evening’s, thank you very much Scotty! Greetings from the Netherlands

[@MrErik038]

Tomorrow is International Men's Day when we celebrate the positive contributions of men & positive male role models. This fits the bill.

[@EdmundoAyarzagoitia]

Tomorrow it’s my birthday as well :)

[@Aaron-uv5nq]

@@EdmundoAyarzagoitia happy belated birthday my guy!

[@jayhayles]

That area you camped in is hands down my favourite spot in Australia so far, and I've seen a fair bit of it. Woke up one night to my own Brumby encounter there with a lone mare sniffing my swag then laying down next to the coals until the sun came up. Such a magical place that makes you feel alive.

[@rkf2746]

"What more could the heart of a man desire"? Scotty, if you had not spoken another word for the remainder of the video, you would have said it all at that moment. Be well. All the best from Colorado, Roger

[@MrYabbie]

The land around Bluewaterholes is where I feel most whole. Serendipity and serenity.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Holy sh*t dude!! Your editing, the consistency and quality of each shot, music are all off the scale! Incredible how much energy you put into this. Really beautiful to watch, I can only imagine how it would be even better in real life!

[@joshobrien8791]

A humble advocate for our beautiful country. Thanks mate.

[@angusfraser8886]

Your cinematography is honestly second to none! Having a beer and watching this after a long shift... nothing better

[@GreencampRhodie]

Beyond priceless. Pertinent quote left in visitor's log.

[@24JJ821]

The little magpie at the end with grey feathers was healthy, he was just a youngin. Just finding his feet and slowly losing his grey fluff. Love watching your videos mate.

[@friendlyoldbum9182]

ATM my wanderings are lived vicariously though you. Cheers mate.

[@PaulB19677]

You do more for Aussie tourism than any politician ever did. Thank you.

[@chrisstuart9774]

Beautiful country Scotty! Seeing those mobs of brumbies reminded me of 'The Man From Snowy River'. That was my favorite movie as a young feller. Cheers from Canada

[@LostLakes]

Terrific again Scotty... Captivated by how you document Australia 👍👍

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Cheers mate!

[@AmyOutdoors]

Wow! The intro was amazing! All those roos so close and comfortable with you being there... I've never seen such chilled out wild roos before.

[@DottieStanley]

Beautiful videos! Loved seeing the horses! Great job! I'm watching all of your older shows now while avoiding our Texas heat wave.

[@Dan-hn1lx]

The classic brumbies of the high country like something out of man for snowy river amazing shots mate......

[@Thebigmanmetaldetecting]

Beautiful countryside buddy, I wish Scotland has the weather you guys do... We have the countryside but lacking in the sun department lol. A little tip for you when crossing the rivers tie your laces together and hang your boots over your shoulders it keeps both your hands free in case you need them... This is why the British Royal marines are called boot necks keep up the good work buddy and N.B I didn't get a notification for this video and I watch all of your videos

[@richardrichards5982]

Thanks Scotty! Your video skills are amazing. Another thing on horses, as much as we love them, they help weed spread in a number of ways. Horse's have teeth top and bottom, so they tend to nibble grasses to the root in a similar way to sheep. In drought times this leaves areas of bare earth which aids weed germination and growth when rains do come. Generally speaking in National Parks we should have close to zero weed species. State forests should be managed this way as well, but they are often neglected by governments. I walked parts of the Hume and Hovel track to the north of where you are in this vid. Much of the walk was through enormous weed fields due to neglect. The additional biomass from weed growth also helps promote tree top fires as well, because of the increased mid level vegetation. This allows for fires to jump into tree tops easier than normal. Well done with this vid. I am enthusiastic about a trip to the high country in 2021!

[@ziggysawdust5407]

It's 27 years since i was last in Aus, i'd love to take my daughter camping out there, as i did as a young man.. Great vid, keep em rollin mate.. Love from the Isle of Skye..

[@paulb2022]

Return mate. Return.

[@JamesSmith-fl2ky]

Funny to see the Aussie guy with a Jeep, and here I am in the US dying for a Land Cruiser or a Rover! I dream of traversing the outback in a Land Rover like the Bush Tucker Man!

[@pete67aus]

I spent my young days in Canberra and did many trips to the same areas you frequent on your trips, south coast of NSW, Budawangs and Snowy. Your videos bring back great memories. I live in a different part of Australia now and after many years (about 30 of them) I've recently rediscovered the joy of immersing myself in nature. I understand your thoughts on the brumbies. There was one trip in the late 1980s where we slept in a makeshift lean-to made from the ruins of a burnt down hut only a few kms from where this video was filmed. We had brumbies visit during the night and I have to admit we didn't sleep well. I love the videos. The tips on bushcraft, gear choices and meal ideas are great and it's good to see you're not just plugging the latest trinket that a sponsor has provided you. Keep up the great work.

[@chrisquinn76]

its a baby magpie!! when they're learning to fly it seems they are not doing anything or they look like they are in trouble, THEYRE NOT..mumma is always watching

[@AwesomeFish12]

Currawongs do the same thing. Fledglings take a while to learn to fly and strengthen their wings. I'm sure many well intentioned people have tried to rescue young birds that don't need it. Glad Scotty left it alone.

[@Bush-Tv]

Its just incredible! Ide be filming more than the walk Its Just That Good! Thanks again mate, Bush Tv.

[@brwilkinson1977]

wow, that was awesome... you out did yourself :) I'm an Australian (avid hiker) living in the US for the past 10 years. Currently in the Pacific North West. Love to see your cinematography and really enjoy the pace of your content. . . plus reminds me of home 🌏🦘

[@ViperOptix]

I would pay to tag along on a trip like this, truly amazing!

[@jacobbardetta2467]

Heck yeah! My favourite KZbinr just posted!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Haha thanks legend!

[@brucie-of-bangor528]

What beautiful country, the High plains of Kosciusko National Park. It's the the source of the Murrumbidgee, the Goodradigbee and the Snowy rivers. I love it, and still enjoy a visit when I can persuade the missus to dive me there! But don't be fooled by the Brumbies, I have seen enormous damage done to both flora and fauna on the Murrumbidgee above Tantangara simply from their hooves. it's my favourite part of Australia, along with the West McDonnel ranges out from Alice Springs.

[@rogermace4516]

WOW Scotty, this would have to be one of your best....... Well Done

[@bushtherapy7655]

Great filming You have a painters eye for the landscape scot

[@BigthumbsupAdventures]

Hi Scotty I have spent many years walking fishing canoeing through the same country as featured in your videos it’s so pleasing to see it again with someone’s else as taken by it as me safe travels

[@purpledragon71]

Wow what a spectacular spot, you have inspired me to explore more of this amazing country of ours. Thank you

[@jimfatyakmcgregor8867]

Just when I thought you wouldn’t top the last video for location and beauty. Here you have excelled again Scotty. Just fantastic mate. Your work is amazing. Keep up the great info and content mate. Your a true inspiration.

[@eastcoastexplorers4x415]

Have you ever thought about one of those night vision camo cameras, you could set it up for when you're asleep and then see what came around. Love your videos by the way👍 it's on the top of my Sunday morning youtube playlist

[@TheGggnome]

As beautiful as it was while you were up there, the lean on the trees tell a story of how brutal it can be.

[@lmcg6474]

Outstanding videos. A real tonic in lockdown London.

[@mitchellcampion3880]

Epic mate. Did a weekend camping trip in the Blueys this weekend passed. Real connection to that country. Lucky place we live in. Cheers for the vibes!

[@stevjosco.adventures]

Wow! The Snowy's look spectacular! People make a big deal about Australia's outback (which are definitely epic) but the High Country is our best kept secret. I've never seen these gorges in photos or books before. It looks like the area gets more horse visitors than human. That's probably a good thing, human's would wreak 1000% more havoc.

[@judsonhicks3807]

Love your videos. I do a fair amount of camping in the US, but I love seeing the beauty of Australia!! Keep showing people around the world, and even those there that maybe haven't appreciated it, the beauty of your country!

[@gunterbecker8528]

Nice to see u leave the hut tidy,in general most people do the right thing,which doesn't apply to some people on the trail n they have to leave their calling card wherever they go, sad to see!. Follow u here n there, quite like it what u do . As i was in the outback many years ago, woke up in the middle of the night a whole herd of brumbies came along ,slept in the car those days, what an experience it was, n they whiled a while before galloping off! Keep up the good work mate!

[@ndhkroatien999]

this place is breathtaking

[@marksomerville1275]

High country gets in your blood. Born in Glen Innes, very similar country. Noises at night are probably Yowies mating. Cheers..

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome mate, great country down there , I understand what you mean about sleeping with the brumbies around, they make some noise at night its a bit nerve racking. Another great video and good to see the jeep make an appearance 👍👍👍 Cheers Shad 🍻

[@tleej26]

Beautiful video, loved seeing the Brumbies. So very true what you wrote in the hut book🇳🇿

[@luke_mccredden]

Amazing video mate. Your words at 16min are true and heartfelt. Resonated deep with me and I'm sure thousands of more people. Thank you mate.

[@mellicans95]

Absolutely love Ur vids. I binge watch them whenever I get the chance. Puts me in such a good mood, appreciating this beautiful planet and all the incredible things it shares with us. Love doing my own exploring whenever I get the chance, but when I'm busy working and being a mum, atleast I can live vicariously through you! Never stop ❤️

[@alson9384]

Because, everybody is using GoPro these days, the idea of making a cinematic style footage like keeping the camera and pass through it becomes so boring when you realize it that you have a GoPro camera and you just do it for the sake of creating a cinematic footage and it is boring to come back again to pick up the camera. But hats off for the efforts Put in to create the footage

[@PedroThai]

Bloody ripper vid Scotty. Gods country. Seriously one of your best. Had a bit of everything. Great editing skills. I enjoyed a nice gold beer watching this one. Waiting for the apple crumble for desert lol. Cheers

[@strangerTimesStill]

You did it justice Scotty. It’s the only way to truly see this place. You got to walk it. Love every video of yours I watch, but this particular video was something really special. Thank you 👍

[@Owl566]

Nice Wrangler mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@outdoors5352]

That's some classic Aussie bush right there 👍 And people wonder why I prefer my swag or tent over a hotel.

[@trevorlf]

Absolutely beautiful one of your best Scotty thank you so much

[@dale5024]

This is some of the coolest aussie youtube I have seen. I live in canada now and miss aus like nothing else. To say you have hit the spot of what i miss is an understatement. Thank you!

[@sangngakdrodul4982]

Hello mate, i am glad that you are back.

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

@39:48 the magpie is alright, just a fledgling with his adult feathers almost all done. Still has some fluffy baby feathers remaining. Loved the vid mate, brought back some good memories from when I was out there a long time ago.

[@budget-adventure]

I’m glad you mentioned not being allowed to camp in them.

[@loydtruss]

Scotty Absolute beautiful scenery in this video----I am in the process of watching all your videos since I found your Utube channel some weeks ago. Professional filming and quality of video footage are what I look for when I'm watching outdoor videos on Utube and I found it in your videos. I am in Alabama the deep south of the US. I am an avid fly fisherman and love it when you show a few fly fishing segments fishing some of the awesome steams you feature in your videos. Looking forward to more great videos. Thanks for sharing

[@bobmoore5845]

What a wonderful beautiful land you live in love it

Oh its verry beautfull nature scottys thank u verry much..

[@blackbirdxx4613]

As always scotty beautiful stuff...... It always seems like such a waste to make a fire to cook vegetables

[@hikerg7074]

Hey Scotty, Another outstanding hike & vid. Nothing hippy about it mate. Reconnecting to mother earth is essential and very emotional as you feel the spirit take you. Awesome man. Happy trails.

[@bluedog1052]

Damn, I was hoping to watch you cook your snags and spuds.....great vid mate, we are certainly lucky with some of the wilderness we have. By the way, I'm sure I speak on behalf of most, whether you screw it up or not, we love watching you cook buddy.

[@bludocc1]

Just loved the pensive and considered approach in this piece ..........the time you dedicate to the landscape and your capture of same really allows the onlooker to absorb the absolute magic of these amazing and unique parts of the Australian alpine region and it is a vast area . As for the wild horses .....l would argue that they are as important as the the alpine huts are in our history here , they just fit beautifully in to the landscape , just make room for these iconic creatures.

[@KaylynnStrain]

Awesome place !!!! Love watching horses roaming free

[@pw510577w]

There's Yowies out there Scotty, be careful.

[@terrancemiller8350]

Yes, you do have beautiful countryside to behold. Camping alone, it can be a little scary, even though I've camped this area called Pigeon River many times and yes I love to camp by my self, one evening at about 2am I heard this baby crying did tell my self it was just a baby raccoon, so I drifted off to sleep again well then it woke me again about an hour later. I'm use to being alone in the woods and it isn't scary well this night it got to me of course I tried every thing to justify the noise, it was not working, so I ended up clenching my knife, I was stupid ( the tricks our minds can play ). Have a good time fishing. Bye for now.🤠

[@kevinbrennan2004]

Good one Scotty. Thoroughly enjoyed.

[@youroutdoormatenate4528]

Definitely your best vid in my opinion mate, could see and hear the genuine passion and respect you have for the country we are in. Keep it up mate and thank you for showing us this spot

[@georgewhitehouse8630]

Thank you for sharing your time with us and filming

[@classicfords8171]

Absolutely loved the video Scotty, and your jeep!

[@edwardfletcher7790]

It's strange seeing a Jeep actually being used off road in Australia. 95% of off-road vehicles here are Japanese. Jeeps are normally limited to the school run !

[@itsreallyrona]

omg Scotty. Your editing! Spec.tac.u.lar! I want to say it's the most spectacular vid yet, but all of your vids are amazing! Just breathtaking!

[@deanbaxter79]

Love the alpine huts, haven’t been to Bill Jones hut but the Nichol Gorge area is my favourite place in Kozi for camping and exploring, Namadgi NP also has some great huts and trails to explore if your ever after somewhere closer to home 👍🏽 I’m actually just editing footage of this area myself 🍻

[@lmelen1471]

Scotty, you never seize to amaze me how much food you can cook on that little plate! Great vid man! Love your work 👍🏼

[@christinetaylor2156]

This episode is epic Scotty!! There was something so romantic, peaceful and tranquil about it, I'm thinking maybe it reminds me of The Man From Snowy River movie. All through this video I was thinking of all the great things I wanted to comment on, now I'm lost for words, I can't remember what I wanted to say LOL.... other than I loved it so much, your work is getting better and better. PERFECTION, well done. Ps, I love our great big open country we have, wish I could go trekking down there now. Love ya work, thanks bro

[@mudgutzadventures436]

Of the videos I've watched so far this was some of the most beautiful scenery. I love the Bush camp spots you go to but for open landscape this was just fantastic.

[@aussiebruce0138]

Thanx Scotty, as a man who grew up around the desert style lands of Broken Hill, I very much appreciate your videos. I could smell the fresh earth as you opened your tent to the morning. Love your work Scotty.

Lucky the horses stayed away from you. I camped up at. Bimberi one Easter and at night you could hear them running down the hills into the valleys and up again - thought they would smash me in my little tent. Another fantastic video.
