It’s great to see how much your Pommy mate is enjoying Australia (and I use “Pommy” as a term of endearment). Australia needs more people like him.

[@WildTouring]

Don’t stress, that would be the kindest thing I’ve ever called them 🤣 nah they’re a great bunch. Have probably seen more of the country than many Aussies sadly!

[@TiggertheTabby]

Aren't we the lucky guys in the US and AUS to have such great wide open unrestricted places to enjoy at our leasure? I need to get down there sometime soon and take a look.🤙 Can't wait to see you guys get into it! Cheers, Cam!🎉

16:50 I carry a thick fleece like that guy - best thing ever for a chair on a cold/mild night. Works well in the swag as well.

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic start, Uluru n Kata Tjuta are very special and really hard to describe the feeling they give. 100% over commercialised. We drove from the other side a few years ago, just after flooding, the road there was spectacular, 2 weeks later it was a rutted, corrugated nightmare. Looking forward to next week.

[@michaelthurston7269]

G'day. Good stuff. I was interested to see dual cabs with the 270 awning. It was a bit hard to tell how they were mounted but it appeared that they may have straddled the cab and canopy. I was told by the manufacturer that I couldn't do that as there is flex between cab and canopy and that any damage to the awning if fitted that way would not be covered under warranty. I am therefore interested to hear if they were in fact mounted that way and if so, have there been any issues. I look forward to hearing.

[@trackexplore]

A great video. I'm looking forward to this series. The GCR is awesome with stunning scenery. I've travelled that road about 8 times now. The first time was in 1999. In a way, it's a shame it's being bitumised. Being a dirt road is part of the adventure.

[@neiljessop3510]

Just a quick tip while using a Travel Buddy. Consider buying and using Silicon containers that can also fit a lid to use as Roast or Curry/Stew containers when cooking. That way spills are reduced and if the correct sizes are purchased there is no wasted space inside the oven. Also all the veg and meat can be added to a roast bag that is sealed to stop leaks.

[@merv190]

Why not just use foil trays ?

[@WildTouring]

Cheers mate, will have to have a look for them. Havnt seen them with lids! That would be handy 👍🏼

[@neiljessop3510]

Foil trays always slop the contents out eventually plus they tend to be single use. Silicone seal elk and are used for years.

Great to be able to head off on your trip with you. Nostalgic to see you driving past the Olga's as we were there almost 2 months ago. Preferred there to Uluru, but enjoyed them both.

[@WildTouring]

Such beautiful country out there isn’t it. I agree, the Olga’s are amazing. The Valley of The Winds walk is still one of the best one done.

[@merv190]

@@WildTouring, funny how people call them the Olga’s but they won’t call it Ayres Rock. It’s Ayres Rock to me.

[@TheeandMe]

​@@WildTouringWere were planning to not do the Valley of Winds walk as it was promoted??? as a difficult grade four and neither of us are as young as we once were (We had just done the King's Canyon Rim Walk though). Met a couple at the first lookout who told us to do it as we looked more than capable. Very glad we did, as it was just the absolute best. When were you there? If we have one ongoing grizzle about KZbinrs, they rarely date their travels.

That mule (Cocktail) is good but it kicks

[@79cruiser]

Hi Cam, great start to the series. Really enjoying it. The reason for more fuel usage (20%) would be that the tyres have lower pressures and on gravel (less traction). Just a thought. The 300 is going well by the look of it. Cheers Graeme

[@WildTouring]

I reckon you’re spot on Graeme. I thought that at a lower speed, with less wind resistance we would get slightly better economy. But it was no big deal, we were prepared with a large margin for error! The $3.60/L at Warburton roadhouse was painful though 😣

[@merv190]

@@WildTouring, not sure why you air down on the GSR , not necessary at all. Great content by the way.

[@ianweal3081]

$40 a night unpowered and mice everywhere to eat thru your swag & tucker. Pretty ordinary ha! We fortunately RTT it, up aways from the little buggers. Curious about your electric blanket power consumption. Whilst we run a 12v unit in RTT, along with a diesel heater it's hardly ever used however we use a inverter to run ours in the van, consumption with both sides on is 3.1 amp with both sides on 3 (high) to initially warm the bed including dedicated 600w inverter (solely for blanket use). If we left both sides on 1 (low) we're drawing 1 amp only. Whilst we have no reason to leave ours on, I must do it just to see the results next morning. Curious now as I've always informed people they draw nothing. Mind you, almost negligent now as van is heated too.

[@WildTouring]

Diesel heater is the way to go, any heating element on 12v will draw significant current! I’m using a regular 240v electric blanket through the inverter. Draws 7a or so. Definitely not an efficient means to stay warm haha. But I’ve got a huge battery bank and was driving everyday so it was fine for this trip 👍🏼

Just came off the Great Central two weeks ago it is a great drive aye. Only seen one camel though but pretty sure I filmed the same pack of wild horses near Docker River but they were on the road 😂

[@WildTouring]

Sure is, I love it out there! Yeah I’ve seen horses around Docker River every time I’ve done the GCR, something’s definitely keeping them around that area.

[@merv190]

See them around there every trip. They belong at Docker River but they just go walking when they want too. There is a donkey cross that hangs with them as well.

To be honest Rob I didn’t even notice mate, which is why I forgot to mention it at the end of the day! But i imagine it would have. I’ve got a 30a DCDC charger and the solar on the roof will put in an additional 20a or so (it’s on a seperate controller). So after 6hrs it should have easily put in 200ah+
