What is the Drive into The Dig Tree Like?

If you are thinking about heading into the Australian Outback definitely consider putting a trip to the Bourke and Wills Dig Tree on your list. Check out this video to see what the road into The Dig Tree is like so that you can prepare appropriately for the trip. In this video I share background on the area, including the Nappa Merrie station that the Dig Tree area sits within, some of the distances and paths for getting to The Dig Tree, information in relation to camping at or nearby The Dig Tree, and plenty more. Grab a brew and kick back and enjoy this insight into an important historical location in the Australian Outback!

Hi Brett. How did you get the map on the top right of screen? Cheers. Rob

I purchased a program that does it. I’ll grab the laptop tomorrow and get the name.

Okay - finally back to my desktop at home. I'm using two different Apps on my Mac to do the mapping. App 1 is "Dashcam Viewer" and it puts all the 1 minute Dashcam videos back into a single large file AND extras the Mapping GPX data. I then use App 2 which is called "Telemetry Overlay" to build the map and other telemetry data into the video. Once I publish that output, I do the final post-editing in Premiere.
