Agreed. Crowded market but a lot of the Aussie 4x4 channels I’ve seen so far aren’t really good watching. This one and maybe two other main ones I’ve come across so far are the only channels offering decent content. In my own opinion anyway. Thanks guys, I love watching your channel. Please keep the content coming!
One of the better 4WD channels. Under-rated for sure, no nonsense screaming and playing it up for the cameras and slamming bullshit sponsors down our throats. You deserve all the success, keep it going.

Things I Loved about this Video: (1) Suspension shots showing how hard that system was working as you navigated the unending whoops (2) The meticulous care Liam took building the symmetrical inverted cone Firepit at that most incredible camp. (3) understanding that you guys were profoundly moved by the majesty of that camp (4) the Cooking segment - brilliant! Great storytelling once again. The editing and shots and the work you put-in to get them, shows. A parting thought: Why not just burn all of your organic waste in the firepit? Do you have to pack out the ashes or do you bury them in sand? Are you guys digging holes to poop in? Are you packing out your paper? Just curious. Your country is most beautiful!
I love liams comments! He is wise beyond his years

Been waiting for this since I saw your Instagram story while you were there. I was out on the Border Track a day or two before you hit it. You've got me wanting to head back and explore the other parts on the Vic side of the border now. Keen to see part 2.
Nice work lads, thanks for showing more of the Southern state's less known areas in more detail. Looks like I need to get south next winter.

Awesome video guys. The editing and production has come a fair way since the first videos. But, I have one problem with it and that is you have now made me want to do a trip out there in December after I finish the great ocean road/Otways trip while I'm down that way. slight 5hr detour but I'm sure it would be worth it. Looked awesome out there! Hope to catch you guys next weekend in Sydney🤙

My son drove all those tracks on the big dune...so what you need is bead locked 37s at 8psi, twin locked plus 300 plus kw engine and a bad ass driver...or a trail bike which did them all easily...great place to play in the sand!
The track (Purra track) around the north west side of Lake Albacutya from Milmed rock track intersection is very cool. The vegetation and sand, in parts, is quite different from elsewhere in the park. Was there two weeks ago. The facilities at the start of Chinamens Well track (on Nhill-Murrayville rd) are fantastic. Not the view you enjoyed but top notch. Little Desert and Murray Sunset area also worth checking out too. Lotsa respect for the early pioneers who made a life in these places. And the indigenous people who lived there for 10's of thousands of years. Spend some $ in the towns up there. The Victoria Hotel in Dimboola is a great place for a meal.

@garethgibbins8082

I'd like to ask a question but feel free to delete it, I don't want to cause a fight... I was told/taught to put the sandflag on the right hand side (drivers side) of the car as in Australia we keep to the left. This means that if/when a car comes up from the other side of the dune they know that if they keep left of your flag they will miss your vehicle. Obviously this would require room but regardless it makes sense to me and if everybody is using momentum to climb a dune they might not have time to stop. What do others think? Do clubs encourage this line of thought?
Great quality content. Haven't been there in years but watching this makes me want to go back again. Liam, judging by the way your vehicle starts in the morning, the injectors are possibly leaking fuel into the cylinders and due for a service.

I think it's timing. The pump is off and likewise the non electronic pumps don't have auto cold start timing adjustment. Compression is also most likely down and the fuel screw has probably been turned to max! Our TD42s are all the same..pigs to start on really cold days...just like an old tractor!

Do you guys think this track and area would be a good shakedown for a rig In preparation for a fraiser trip? I have done a bit of 4wding but never really come across much sand mainly steep rocky areas and mud and I understand the basics of sand driving but just makes me a little nervous to hit fraiser as my first real test.
On the big dunes tyres down to 12 psi or even 10 - would walk up
Amazing

little tip for thickening gravy, mix your flour with some butter or marg first (known as a beurre manie) making like a little dough ball with it then add it to your sauce it will thicken your sauce and add a little richness to it without leaving clumps of flour all through it. or use some cornflour mixed with water for something a little simpler.
@ianweal3081
Жыл бұрын
Thanks Jake, I've never heard of the butter ball trick, handy to know. I usually use corn flour though, with the cold water, but also a drizzle of red wine for a truly flavoursome treat. Aside from that Liam, you also need to return the floured mixture back to the heat to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and thicken up under heat. Tastes so much better once you do that. Try it next time. Enjoy.
So Liam how many camels did you see out there ? 😂😂😂 Boys I love your videos. They are real and honest and it looks like you enjoy doing it. I’ll keep watching if you keep making them 👍🏻
