Last time i was there a bloke pulled out a nice trout fishing from that same rock. Meanwhile I crawled up and out that cave exit and yeah it was a bit tight.
Your a better man then me mate, I doubt I walls of made it out that opening. Yeah i was there just before the seasonal closure last year and they were pulling trout out left right and centre, water was a lot colder. Trout fishing is just not for me I’m thinking. 🤦🏽🤣 Cheers for watching 👍🏼
Hey mate, when you’re flicking lures in those streams cast up stream and have the lure going the same direction as the flow. You were going against it, looks un natural for trout. Few casts then move along further 🤙🤙🍻
Yeah mate. It was all for the content that little clip, I was fishing there for the location ( the cave ) There was not much in the way of water above me, just rapids. Trout fishing isn’t my thing, spent the whole day fishing ( casting I should say ) on the Eucumbene and Murrumbidgee, bugger all water in them, warm temps and heap of green weed. Didn’t get a bite. 🤣 Thanks for watching and dropping a comment.👍🏼
It’s a great spot Gav. I’ve been there once a few years back and it was chokkers so didn’t get to camp there. Ended up camping back at Coolamon Mountain campground. Froze my nuts off that night! I’m keen to revisit some time so your vid was good inspiration mate! Look forward to seeing the hike video too👍 Cheers mate! Chris
Hey mate, I reckon it would get cold up there on top of the hill, they have put a by-pass road around the Cooleman Campground now. I’ll be back to do the other walk with the caves when it opens after winter for sure. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy the video of the hike. 👍🏼
I've been telling myself for nearly 40 years to go and visit that spot, but never been there. I have been close by but not to the gorge. Better get my act together before it's too late! Thanks for taking us there and showing the great landscape.
Neil, after 40 years I think it’s time you went mate … It’s definitely worth the trip and the effort to walk it. Hopefully the next video might inspire you to make the trip. Cheers from r watch and dropping a comment. I appreciate your support. 👍🏼
Never heard that one before. 🤦🏽🤣 Glad you enjoyed it, it’s a pretty awesome spot, hope I did enough to capture all of its beauty. Cheers for watching and commenting Glenn. 👍🏼
A big thanks for the upload, buddy. I appreciate it, as a lot of other followers do. I'm just letting you know for the silent majority out here. Cheers
Awesome Gav, had planned on going to Long Plain for a couple of days fishing at the end of April but the joint was closed for the Brumby cull. Next time then. Look forward to your hike up the gorge.
6th of April, I just squeezed this trip In. 👍🏼 I’ll be heading back next year to do the caves walk. Wasn’t much happening in the way of fishing when I was there, water to warm, and to low, heaps of green weed, I fished the Eucumbene, Murrumbidgee and Blue Waterholes, got nothing. 🤣 I call it casting for content these days. But a lot of fly fisherman were disappointed in the fishing. Keep Well mate 👍🏼
Yeah, I was kidding myself if I thought I was gunna get out the end of that cave. There is another walk up from Clark’s Gorge which takes you to some proper canes, some a few hundred metres long, I’ll have to go back next year and walk that one I reckon. Cheers for watching !
Great vid mate. Still holding up your strike rate on the fishing 😜👌👌 Looking forward to the next vid. Should be awesome. Thanks for The Represent. Appreciate it 👌
Yeah, I call it casting for content not actually fishing… so my strike rate is pretty good as I’m not catching any! 🤷🏼🤦🏽🤣 All good, it’s just the older style merch now that you guys are going places. 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy Yeah well. You won’t turn it into catching if you’re not casting so love the fact that you are throwing a line in where you can You will be first on the list of offers with the new merch mate 😜😜👌
Top update Gavin. I liked your music while you were doing your meal. I like the second track as well, it also used by another channel I like to watch, The Jackson Brothers, farming up in NSW. Looking fwd to the next up date. Well done.
Cheers Duncan, yeah stumbled across that music on my epidemic sound app, loved it straight away. Might be using it a bit too much lately maybe. 🤦🏽🤣 Thanks for watching mate👍🏼
New subscriber mate really appreciate all the effort you go to with the editing, camera angles etc must be a lot of work esp in the VHC where there's not much flat ground.
Cheers Mate, appreciate you supporting the channel, it can be challenging but that’s the content I want to produce so it’s the way it is, cramps and all!! 🤣🤣🤦🏽
Won’t be open to after the seasonal closures now, a lot of the other places around that area that aren’t normally seasonal closures will open up around early August I think? 💭
Hey mate, another great adventure, I went and stayed at Buckwong Creek after watching your last vid, great campground, beautiful spot, actually saw trout, caught fuck all and lost 5 lures in the trees n bush's, would go again tomorrow, keep em coming mate, hope everything is going well.
It’s nice spot. Will definitely camp there next year after the closures open up I reckon. I’ve been catching a few of tree fish, but even though the trout have a been eluding me I’d go back and do it again tomorrow also Kevin 👍🏼
It is, and you should … but it’s a seasonal closure, but is closed early this year for the aerial culling of the brumbies, even though I didn’t see one the whole way from the SMH down Long Plains Rd to the Blue Waterholes.
Loved the time lapse at the end mate. I always recall when going into a cave, remember the story about Pooh Bear trying to get out of Rabbit's burrow after eating too much honey.......not that I eat a lot of honey. Planning another trip late March (VHC) with 3 others if ya interested, dates not confirmed yet. Good one mate. Cheers, BobbyB.
Showing your age there BobbyB 🤦🏽🤣 I’ll have to give that one a miss mate, my daughter is getting married in March. So will be already taking time off work to be there.
I love Gorges, try to get to rhe ones nearest to me but never enough tine! Your film work certainly captures the essence of these special places, Gav. Everytme l watch one of your episodes it just makes you want to go there immediately. Cheers
Thanks Lee, think You need your find some time and go to the ones near you, life is short and we aren’t getting any younger 🤦🏽 These ones were pretty spectacular, it was a great walk. Hope you enjoy the next episode. 👍🏼
@aguyandhistroopy l will Gav, looking forward to seeing the walk, have been hearing about Blue Holes for ages and still not got there. Atm doing tracks in around Jamieson with the club, was a fun weekend and saw snow on Snake Edwardes track, it was only 6oC brrrrr but so pretty!
@@Lee-astrololee it’s been cold up here at work, few 0’s - feels like -10 but no snow yet. Sounds good, hope you only driving in the snow, I’m not that keen on camping in it these days, not after working in it for the last few years. It’s pretty special the Blue Waterholes that’s for sure. 👍🏼
@aguyandhistroopy No snow at camp, not high enough but nice beside the Jamieson River. I remember how cold it gets up near Jagungal so feel for you out working in it, hope they feed you well! LOL Blue Holes is special, how those old timers found these places is a credit to them. Def on bucket list!
Went there last year and promised I’d go back and do the walk. Now I’ll have to go back and walk the other way to the caves. Hope I captured the Clarke Gorge well enough in the next episode? Definitely a brilliant part of the world.
Cheers Dave, the next one will show you the whole walk pretty much, and the spectacular scenery that goes with it. They say it’s the most underrated walk in the Kosciuszko NP. Cheers for watching 👍🏼
Week before Easter, be around the 26th of March. It closed early this year for the aerial culling of the brumbies on the 6th of April. Pretty shit if you drove there and found out that it was closed.
It’s the most underrated walk in the Snowy Mountains I believe. It’s spectacular. Closed at the moment for aerial culling but normally a seasonal closure from June long weekend. Cheers for watching Craig and taking the timeout to comment ! 👍🏼
Awesome - I've driven to Blue Waterholes from Canberra, it's about a 3 and a half hour drive over the Brindabellas and down Boundary rd and Broken Cart Trail. Always fun, but I can only spend an hour there before going home. I will have to camp around there to properly explore, but the campsite is always chockers. I stood on that same rock...a few feet further and I would have seen the cave! Looking forward to the walk vid!
You’ll definitely have to go back now and check that little cave out, I’ll be heading back to walk the other way to check out the bigger caves. I want to go into Brindabellas, maybe do this at the same time as the caves walk. Thanks for the ongoing support. 👍🏼
How hardcore is that trail? I've thought about heading down to Long Plain again the "traditional" way via Tumut and the Hwy but considered going back via Broken cart and Brindabellas. Nav with some lift but no Winch. Just don't wanna be that guy who gets himself into strife unprepared or doing more than he can/should
@@mudgutzadventures436 I did it about a month ago and it wasn't hard as it has been graded in the last year, except if it has rained recently, the mud can catch you out. There are plenty of sharp rocks on Boundary Rd, so air down a little and take it easy. It's a long drive, but I always enjoy it. I have an MR Triton and i do have a winch but would never need to use it. I drove it when I had a D22 Nav and even when rutted, it handled it.
@@mudgutzadventures436 just need to keep in mind if your looking at taking Long Plains Rd it’s currently closed since the 6th of April for aerial culling. So it’s out of the question at the moment.
Will be definitely checking this place out next time I’m in the area. You’ve sold it. Doesn’t look that busy, either. Looking forward to seeing the next part.
Apparently it’s very busy normally, I was there a week before Easter. Wait till you see the whole episode next week. It’s pretty spectacular, and well worth making the effort to go there. 👍🏼
An OldTimer told me the Best Place to go Fishing is a Puddle Next to the Pub (with an Imaginary Fishing Rod)................He Usually Catches a Couple of Slabs and a Chicken Palmer.
Another good one mate. I have a few questions about your gear haha. What stretcher and swag combo is that ? And what size awning do you have ? Not the 270 the one on the other side of the troopy. And also what’s the foot mat you have next to swag. Sorry for all the questions haha. You have some good gear 👍🏽
Great spot been meaning to get back there myself but time gets away. Look forward to the waterfall next week!
Yeah, I hear ya Jase … there is never enough time these days. 🤦🏽

Good to see you back in the saddle mate...
Thanks Shane, I’m slowly getting back into full swing again.
Thankyou, needed this
No problem, hope you come back and watch the next episode when I walk the gorge to the waterfall, it’s pretty spectacular country. 👌
Have we ever seen you catch a trout mate🤣? Great spots as always … tight lines.
Nope Mark … I never have caught a trout, and at this rate you probably never will. But best you keep watching as you never know !! 🤷🏼🤣
