    Great job getting through all that to get to notch point especially towing the big Bertha, quite tricky avoiding the tree branches and reversing it at the same time, and an awesome spot at the end of it all.

      Yes it is a stunning location!
      Thanks 🙌🏼

    Great video. Hope you have more of Notch Point to share.
    We visited last September with friends but cut our stay a couple of days short because of extreme wind. The track was very similar, but we only had about 3 water puddles. Our camp was on the northern end close to the bollards. We tied the awning off to the bollards which helped a lot in the wind, but packing the awning away in the wind was extreme.

    Cheers for the vid on the way into Notch point. Most of the time videos are only ever at the end of the track and I've wondered what it's like after rain. We missed our chance staying there with our van on our return when we chickened out after some rain.

    well worth the effort guys one of the best free camps I've been to can be sketchy to get in but worth it

    Yes, been about 4 times, it’s always bad, not as much water usually, but always a couple of water crossing,

    Hi guys .
    We love watching you and your travels. You're just so real.
    We went into Notch Point last year with our brand new van.
    We now have pin stripes to remind us of what a fantastic trip it was.
    It was defintely tight in spots and we only had a 19ft van.
    The track around the hill was very badly rutted. .but we didn't have the amount of water you guys had.
    But the best free camp ever.
    Enjoy 😊

    • @nowornever_aus
      @nowornever_aus  6 месяцев назад +1

      Some call them pinstripes, we call them memory stripes! 😁
      All worth it!

    We came into Notch Point yesterday, the day you released the episode. The water in the bog holes has subsided some but it was still a challenge. We continued around the headland on the off camber/ sloping track, across the concrete slab and down the drop off. It was a bit hairy even with our offroad van; and then we saw the track you eventually took to the point. We will definitely use it on the way out. It was great watching someone else do it. Well done guys.

    Hi there, Now or Never, i have just come across your utube channel and must complement you both on your great presentation and commentary on your videos.
    They are extremely informative and great videos.
    I myself am a Mackay local and feel that going into Notch Point in the wet season is not the thing to do as this is what is destroying the road in.
    And i can't understand why everyone wants to go over the hill. Yes, it is a lovely beach with excellent camping sites, but it gets so windy.
    The camping area on the approach side to the hill is just as nice with great camping sites and protected from the wind.
    Keep up the excellent videos with your great commentary.
    Awaiting your next video.!!!
    Cheers, Kevin.!!!😊

    • @nowornever_aus

      Yes I do think next time we will camp this side of the hill and put the boat in the creek 👍🏻
      Cheers!

    Hi from New Zealand .Another very good show with great scenery and 4wd skills. I also have a PX2 ford ranger and I love it. Would you consider doing a show on advice on what to look out for, advice on buying a good second hand caravan. Keep up the great shows. Thanks Jono P

    I dont know why, but I start to panic when we have to go through water. It must be when bogged at Butterfly Gorge without a winch and no one else around to help.

  • @Noniinthebush
    @Noniinthebush 6 месяцев назад +1

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but is your van off road?

    • @nowornever_aus
      @nowornever_aus  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, but its a very debatable topic as to what is considered “off road”
      Ours has a 6 inch chassis, high clearance and simplicity axles suspension with lots of travel so it handles tacks like this well 👍🏻

    • @Noniinthebush
      @Noniinthebush 6 месяцев назад +1

      @@nowornever_aus
      Hey thanks for the fast reply! I love seeing non “off road” vans go off road like this. We have a 98 Golf Cruiser that is not off road. We haven’t taken it on any tracks like that but your van looks to be much higher than ours and I have no idea what suspension we have but the chassis is nice and thick 👏🏼😎
