@bobbrown5529 I agree,I too thought i will get 10 minutes into this and probably stop watching but I’m half way through and is is well done.I did some work at Erromanga with my dad years ago at the pub,we built some block motel units for the owner of the pub and cafe. Never experienced 50 degree heat before until I got out there,we were starting work at 4.00 am and knocking off at 11.00 am as it was just to hot to be laying Besser blocks in heat like that,the mortar was going off before we could lay the blocks.

I and a mate Stewart made a trip up the Oodnadatta track with a Morris Mini Moke back in 1969 to the Alice. It took us a fortnight from Melbourne but what a trip. I lost all the pickies we took but the memories are still there and this video has reunited them with me. It was a ripper of a trip and I will take it to the grave. Thanks for this memory.

Also, in that situation you do need two way radio (mobile phones are unreliable in remote areas, no towers for miles). Lack of water/heat exhaustion from walking too far on a hot day is actually far deadlier than any Wolf Creek boogeyman story.
