Cheers mate, for sure! I honestly hate having a crazy set-up with unnecessary stuff. You really don't need a $30000 canopy outfit. But each to their own.

agree completely. less is better, lets you spend more time realxing than setting up and packing

Now that's what I call a steak sandwich. It looks like you're overnighter turned into a chillaxing short break. I've done that before. I drove 2hrs to get to a riverside campsite, only to pack up and leave 2.5hrs later due to a severe thunderstorm that started. I had to drive over two ford crossing to get to that spot, and I didn't want to get stuck there in case the river rose. So I left before that happened. Sometimes, things just go as planned. Oh well.

Nice vid mate. I totally agree with you. East Macky is the most neglected but very picturesque area. Me and family visited this area sept 2023 and found very quiet but very scenic. Yes visited Arltunga and was thinking why no one done up this hotel and bring the old glory back in. Good luck with your old man and partner for the decision. Looking forward to visit this area again soon (hopefully few nights in Ruby Gap) Thanks

Good advertisement for Central Australia. The poor flies didnt get a mention though 😢 keep a face net in your car so handy. I know its hard to have a beer but there worthwile. East McDonnell is just as good as the west for sure. Just has the element of adventure and the magic of the land not as commercial feeling as the west. Im glad i come up an seen your backyard mate doesnt disappoint at all. Did a late arvo drive from finke yesterday to alice for a supply run. Camera will never show the magic of how epic an the glow of the red hey. Good stuff epsiode. Apparently im off to mount dare, or dalhouise or eringa or Charlotte waters next weekend.

Haa! This is why i bought a big swag (23 Zero 1550 Outbreak) that i can literally sit up in, make a coffee etc or even spend all day in if i need to incase of mozzies (after sunset like this) or bad weather. Fck those original swags - they dont cut it in times like this or when its pissing down.

Yeah I've got an ARB sky dome double, it's great, but I much prefer the good old simple swag, usually I'm all good when I don't forget to bring mozzie repellent haha. Rolling out a swag and having to erect scaffolding everytime just to sleep gets old real quick.

Stunning part of the outback thats for sure. Was shocked you cut up dead tree, for firewood, which is part to the beauty in the landscape. Then light a fire on the ground, and properly left behind unhurt wood charcoal and ash that would take years to disappear. Why not bring firewood and afire pit? This is as bad as campers leaving used toilet paper and litter behind What happened to take only pictures and leave only foot prints?

Hi mate loving the videos and the build. Just wondering what wheels you are running with the 33's? My 79 is due next week and trying to work out if I should go steelies or use the OEM wheels which I thought you were using

@OutbackOffroadNT

19 күн бұрын

Cheers mate, I ran the GXL wheels for a while and they are great but they are too narrow for 33's. So I decided to go to the tried and true sunraysia style steel rim. 16x8 ROH black track. Rears are neg 22, fronts are 0 offset. It's a good set-up however I may be changing the tyre/rim combo once these tyres wear out, purely to try something different.
