DON'T MISS this National Park! | Lost Drone
Hey everyone!
Welcome back to another video. In this one we head to the Barrington Tops National Park in NSW up to the Great Dividing Range with our caravan.
We hike in the Gloucester Tops and Gloucester Falls where we unfortunately lose our DJI Mavic Air 2 Drone in the waterfall.
We take an icy cold plunge in a freshwater stream before warming up around the campfire at Camp Cobar.
Month of travel - July 2023
Thanks heaps for following along everyone!

Nice bit of our country side. So sorry the drone gave up. Chelsea your really giving poor Brice heaps about it. It was not his fault. Lithium batteries do not do well in the cold. Lucky you are not driving an electric car. The cold dip was a killer laugh. No way would I do it so good on you. Love the laugh at the rocking. Remember "if it's rocking don't bother knocking".

Beautiful area! Nah she knew it wasn't my fault, I was just very frustrated! Likes to poke the bear 😂 The drone was rated to -10° so a shame it failed Wouldn't like to trust the electric cars like that... Cold dip was fun definitely refreshing hahaha Thats the one 😂😂
I bet Bryce yelled 'FLIP" as his drone went kaput..well, I bet it started with F😆Great footage guys, you just keep getting better.

Loved the video guys, over here in Britain some of us belong to a Bluetits group which is a chill water swimming club, we swim all year round, the water now in July is positively tropical at 19 degrees but earlier this year it was only 4 degrees. You either love it or hate it, once you get used to it it’s amazing I can’t wait to go in at Xmas when it’s frrrrrrreezing 🤪

We’ve camped at Camp Cobark in June, and we were too chickeny to get into the water. The Barrington Tops area was almost our backyard in our younger years, with so many weekends spent up there, always tent camping. Even in the summer, the water is very, very fresh! There isn’t a bad time to explore there. We’ve loved your episodes of your adventures around here; it’s great to see it all through someone else’s eyes (and lens). We’re looking forward to see where you end up next. Happy travels 😍😍😍

Another great video, the drone probably died off cold with the blades running pushing so much cold air onto the body of the drone it froze up the internal system, hope that makes you feel better, looking forward to next video. Happy Travels 🤗🤗👍

@@CaravanAdventureAus maybe, mine did the same thing in Cobar, on a 0c morning, went up and then went from full to empty in seconds and just landed, had no control,
I had a DJI drone do a similar thing. Wrote to DJI for warranty and they blamed me!!! It’s a common error with DJI if it was one. Man you guys were game getting in that water!!😜💪🏻

If your drone was DJI, you might be able to claim it on them. They seem pretty generous when it comes to hardware faults. Good luck.
