You can not imagine how enjoyable it was, to view your Murray River camping videos, with a cup of tea, in front of the wood fire, while in a Sydney lockdown, with the cold wind blasting and heavy rain outside. So good, that i might just go and watch them all over again. Thanks Tim.
Gday Kevin, Really feeling it for you guys. You take care mate and stay safe. I hope it’s not long before you can go and sit beside the Murray River. Thanks for your reply mate. Cheers Tim
Gday Andrew, These Murray River eps were both filmed when Victoria was out of lock down. Not the case now. The river red gums are amazing tress. Many years old. Thanks mate for your reply. Cheers Tim.
Reminds me of growing up in Gundagai and the Murrumbidgee, dad taking us out early Sunday mornings, for crays,, .. love that place.. thanks Tim for bringing back happy memories.
G'day Narelle, Those early Sunday morning trips to the Murrumbidgee with your dad for a feed of crays sounds like a great family time out. Thanks a lot for your feedback, im glad you enjoyed this video. Great spot. Cheers Tim
Love watching your videos. It's a wonderful escape for me. I toured Aus in 1988, in a 1973 Holden Kingswood station wagon. Managed 10,000k in 6 months. Had a wonderful time. I'd love to return one day. Here in the UK, not quite so much space to explore. Always loved camping. I must get a Dutch oven. Your food looks great. Keep up the good work.
Gday Ian, Firstly, thanks for dropping in from the Uk mate. Travelling Australia how you did all those years ago in the iconic Holden Kingswood is such a great story. It would have been amazing seeing the country back then. Maybe you’ll get back here one day, maybe not in a Kingswood lol. I love campfire cooking. Thanks a lot for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim
Doing the proverbial mate. Always tastes better over a campfire too Tim .👍 picked up the stubby holder and sticker Tim, Thankyou kindly..time to grab some crownies. The birds sound awesome.. next one oorroo
G'day Eric, Yeah mate, campfire cooking is the best, i love it. Thanks very much for your stubby holder and sticker order, i greatly appreciate it mate. Cheers Tim
G'day Tony, I sure can se why you both love camping along the Murray River. It's unreal. I'll be back at some stage for sure. Thanks for your feedback mate, Cheers Tim
My virtual overnight trip👌🤣🤣📺 hopefully we will all be free from lockdown soon , try some Texas steak spice in your scrambled eggs 🥚. Shh don’t tell anyone 🤣🤣 thanks for the upload
G'day mate, I hope you can get up that way soon and check out this great camp spot. Texas steak spice, sounds hot. Is it? Lol I appreciate your feedback mate. Cheers Tim
Mate, absolutely superb! There is something about the Murray, the birds talking, tranquility and serenity. So many beautiful spots to camp along it’s length yet they are all so different. This clip was spot on ☝️
Yeah mate, the Murray has so much going for it to have a very relaxing time away camping. The bird sounds are simply stunning. Really makes the trip. Thanks for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim
Cracking country mate. My stomping ground. Scoff looked cracking, felt your pain when the sodding rain came calling, lol, just what you need when filming and cooking up a storm. lol.
Thanks mate. Yeah rain and solo filming makes things challenging, thats for sure. Still a great cook up and a great night. Love it. Thanks for your feedback mate and you take care. Cheers Tim
Jeez, Tim, there's so much to like about these series of videos. The photography is great. The region is awesome, and so different to the high country to which we are accustomed to seeing you in. With all the current level of restrictions, it's videos like this that give us all, a little escapism. A chance to remember what it's like to live a world away from this current nightmare we find ourselves in. Don't stop making these videos, please.
Gday Damian , Thanks a lot mate for your feedback. Both of the Murray River spots I camped at, where simply stunning. I greatly appreciate your feedback mate. I hope lock downs are over soon. Cheers Tim.
Hi Tim, UK Paul here again mate. What an awesome followup to your first Murray River solo camp vid. Those bird sounds are incredible and the serenity is out of this world. I was glad to see the steamer out again for the spuds to mash and the more I see you using your trowel for cooking the more I think I need to get one for myself. Worked a treat on the scrambled eggs and bacon. Fantastic vid mate and thanks for sharing again. Take care and cheers.
G'day Paul, Thanks a lot mate for dropping in from the UK. I hope you are going ok. This was a really nice spot mate, simple cook ups but very tasty. Thanks for your feedback mate, i greatly appreciate it. Cheers Tim
What a beautiful place for camping Tim. Bacon and eggs by the water. That's the way to start your day dude!!! So good😋 Yesterday morning at our trailer my wife fried me up a couple of eggs to go with the bacon, toast and OJ she made for all of us. I cannot fry eggs without popping the yokes...lmao I love peanut butter on my toast if I'm having scambled eggs. With or without bacon or fried ham slices.
G'day mate, Really nice spot to camp up. Breakky was amazing, tasted so good. Sounds like you had a really nice brekky as well mate. Top stuff. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers Tim
Hey tim . Hows going. you know evry time i watch you cook ive already eaten but those bangers and mash made me want to eat again. thats a beautiful spot on the murray you were at. Thanks again
G'day Gary, Hahah Lol Mate that was a simple but very tasty cook up. Lol cant beat bangers and mash. Lol Great camp spot on the Murray, so relaxing. Thanks for your feedback mate, really appreciate it. Cheers Tim
Yet another great watch there tim truck looking great still a beast, but the scenery and Beauty of your country is outstanding thanks for the effort to bring us this content
Good idea Tim is when the Pans is hot enough and the Scrambled eggs are nearly ready Well Transfer of the Heat and let them finish ! Noise with a few dots of Soy Sauce Cheers Tim Love the Murray! Isn’t it a Beautiful Country we all live in !! Besides Those pricks sitting in Parliament’s around Australia! Selected By the Party for you all to Think you Elected them hahaha Time we all just Took of for the Week and enjoy what’s Out there !! Thanks for sharing Tim
G'day Bruce, Dash of soy sauce you reckon. See about that on the next one. Lets hope mate we can all get back out soon. 'You stay safe and thanks for your feedback. Cheers Tim
Bangers & Mash and a few Beers by the fire on the Murray, love it Tim, and can't wait to get up there and do the same in that magnificent part of VIC - cheers mate
G'day mate, another great show, lm working hard on the farm and hope to slip away soon if covid doesn't stuff it up. Vic and NSW not looking to good might have to travel North and sneek into the Territory, l know a little un used track, hope you can get out again soon, keep safe and catch you on the next adventure, cheers, Neil.
G'day Neil, Yeah mate, these lock downs are making travel very had for lots of people. Lets hope they are over soon mate, and we can all get back out. You have a great trip when you head North. Thanks for your reply. Cheers Tim
Here's a cooking idea for ya Tim... go down to coles and buy a packet of pre-marinated honey soy chicken wings. They work so well when cooked in a frypan over the coals while camping and taste sensational! Cheers Joe👍🏻
G'day mate, I havent done the marinated chicken wings on my videos, but i have done the honey soy marinated drum sticks, char grilled on the campfire. They are really nice. Thanks mate, i appreciate your feedback. Cheers Tim.
Again great to see the Murray with so much water in it. Love the bird sounds when out camping, it is so relaxing and peaceful, just the way camping should be.
Gday mate, Yeah it’s flowing well at the moment. Great to see that’s for sure. This along with ep 1 were two very relaxing trips on the Murray River. Thanks mate for your reply. Cheers Tim.
Great camp,lm not envious because lm camped at the big Burdekin river trying to teach this bloke called Buck how to make real Victorian tea. Looking forward to getting home and camping amongst my brothers,leave them fish for me.😁😁😁
G'day mate, I have a video on my channel where i explain how to make billy tea on the campfire. Trying with cold water first is one of my tips mentioned in that video. Thanks for your reply mate. Cheers Tim
Thanks Tim, really needed to see the mighty Murray my absolute favourite place to go camping, miss it so much!! Love your work mate, more Murray please :-)))
No worries mate. It sure was a really nice spot to camp up. I will find some more Murray River locations down the track. Thanks for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim
Miss the Murray very much 😢 great video most of my camps are on rivers like that. Great cook ups aswel mate. I suggest if you go the Murray again For fishing best is a running sinker rig corn or cheese. Get a bell and let it do its thing you will 100% catch. Thanks for the entertainment Tim.!
great stuff yet again. Ive been trying every blacksmith i can find, welder,metlsmith etc to get a cook set like yours forged...... yes there are "off the shelf cheaper options" , but hand made, always original sings to me.....
@@timbates4wdadventures We go to Christies Beach near Echuca to test our Camp Chairs (more drinking really but a bit of testing), not as remote as where you are but looks very similar!
Great video and what a fantastic location. All the bird calls are special including the butcher birds who have such a melodious call. You can’t beat a night shower or for that matter sitting by a fire late at night staring into the coals. Ah well so good to watch your travels and certainly put the lockdown and COVID-19 in the background.
Gday Ron, Yeah mate, this trip had it all. Location, bird sounds, bush cooking and the rain. Great trip, wish I could go back. Thanks mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim.
Great spot. I spent the New Year 2020-21 near there. Looks like the weather is nice and cool this time of the year. Now I can’t go more than 5km from my house due to lockdown. Thanks for posting this. I miss camping.
G'day Jason, Endless supply of firewood along the Murray mate. You dont have to go far for a load. Yeah mate, we are all in lock down now. Lets hope mate it's all over soon. Take care and stay safe. Cheers Tim
I have been cursing you Tim while watching your video with you sitting by the fire, alongside the Murray at night, while l sit on my plain boring couch. All kidding aside l can't wait to get back out there so thanks again Tim.
Thanks Tim makes us all want to get out when we can as usual your camera work puts us in the picture helps with lockdown Mate The Murray has a great number of spots to camp away from the crowds which we are all craving PS you mentioned you run your fridge even when you are home you might want to do a lockdown Vid as to Fridge hints and tips to keep em going Thanks again Tim
G'day Peter, No worries mate. I appreciate your feedback on the video. Tops tuff mate. Hope we can all travel again very soon. I could do a video on my fridge while in lock down mate. See how that goes in the coming weeks. Thanks for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim
Just another great time in the bush Tim. Can’t wait to get back down there and visit some of the places you’ve been. Stay safe everyone. Thanks again mate.
Hi mate,just got into your RUclips channel, bloody awesome, those lamb shanks and mash,shit mate looked so amazing, heading up to boundry bend next week ,will give these bad boys a try,,keep up the good videos mate,cheers
Gday Malcolm , Thanks mate for checking out my channel. Mate give those shanks a go for sure. Pretty easy to cook up in the camp oven and they taste amazing. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers Tim
Thanks Tim. Being in lockdown and watching this video makes me feel as if I am beside the Murray, hearing the birds calling out and the occasional paddle boat coming by. Wish I could be out there tonight. Perhaps a backyard fire will have to do. Cheers, Floyd.
G'day Jason, No mate, no garlic in these cook ups. Lol Maybe on the next one. Hope we can travel; soon mate. This is a great spot as is the first Murray River episode. Thanks for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim
G'day Colin, Cant beat a simple but tasty cook up on the campfire. Bangers and mash is it. Lol Thanks mate for your reply and you take care during these times. Cheers Tim
Gday Simon, They were great times on the Murray River mate. I’m looking forward to seeing more along the river. Thanks mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim
Once again you’re in a top spot all alone. I’m surprised and a little envious how you find isolated spots so often. Can’t beat the Murray, really, apart from an alpine camp with a view.
Hi Tim thanks for sharing your experiences. My partner and I did a trip from Tom Groggin in NSW as close as we could get to the source the Murray and followed the River by road as close as we could get, free camping until we reached its outlet at Lake Alexandrina SA. An Iconic trip.
Tim another great video mate the Murray River looks great now there is some water coming down stream. Just a cooking tip when cooking scrammbled eggs keep the milk out. Just use butter no salt either mate you won't look back.
Gday Glenn, Yeah mate, the river is flowing nicely at the moment. It’s pretty high that’s for sure. Drop the milk you reckon. Might have to try that one. Thanks for the tip. Cheers Tim.
Great video mate. I headed away for my first solo trip last weekend in tassie. Definitely a different experience but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be doing more in the future 👌
Thats ace mate that you had a good time on your solo camping trip. Tassie would be unreal to get away in on your own. Thanks mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim
Anywhere along this great river is the perfect place to start your solo camping if you are a bit worried going out alone.You can start doing these type of trips until you are comfortable then slowly branch out further.Thanks Tim you are my lock down saviour!
Yeah mate, this trip and the one before are great places top try out solo camping. Stay safe mate in lock down, i hope we can all go again soon. Cheers Tim
good river up boundary bend way my fav spot just up stream from where you were narrung forest im bulding a pontoon boat and my first trip will be from swan hill to boundry bend real soon
Some great spots along the Murray River to camp This was really where I stayed. You pontoon boat sounds great mate. Would be nice cruzing the river in it. Cheers Tim
Had my first solo camp on the weekend Tim. Not waiting for the D-max delivery, Falcon ute, esky & swag, got out of Brisbane before we have another lock down. Brilliant!
Started holidays the day regional nsw went into lockdown. I’ve got another 4 weeks left and hopefully i can get out there. Stuck in the house with my better half but nearly ready to set up camp in the backyard!!😂😂 thanks for the vid mate. 👍
Tim What would be your favourite spot to camp that place that left you would say left an impression on me, I talking for everyone here your are very well filmed and edited and camp fire scenes provide that feeling of calm and relaxation in these Covid times im camping this week at a isolated location south of Sydney near Woronora Dam cant wait to get away from the world for 24 hrs.
G'day Hayden, mate way to many spots i have camped in to really pick a fav spot. They are all special. Cant get enough. Thanks a lot mate for your feedback. Lets hope we can all travel soon. You take care up in Sydney mate. Cheers Tim
As a fellow solo traveler I appreciate the serenity of the Aussie bush. The Murray has a ambiance & vibe of its own, but exploring with a kayak is another level of wonder. Hope to see a kayak on your roof racks one day. Keep up the great vids.
Gday Glenn, Yeah mate, the Murray has it all going. Stunning area to setup camp and those birds sounds are simply amazing. Funny you mention the kayak. I only mentioned to a mate not half an hour ago, about looking into a kayak for future Murray River trips. That would be a top camp spot to go and explore the Murrumbidgee. Thanks heaps mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Thanks Tim for your reply, I have enjoyed paddling my kayak on many inland rivers, lakes and offshore for over 10 years and introduced some mates to kayaking. I have found the sit on style to be the most practical in case of falling in they are easy to re-mount.Research is advisable before you commit because you only have to buy one to last a life time. No rego, no fuel & no battery plus good exercise. Good luck and hope to see you out there one day.
Hi Tim. great video. Have you in any of your trips and camping along the Murray river, seen any of the monitor species or the rare Murray Darling Carpet Python ? Also, where did you get your cooking stand/pot/pan holder with the adjustable height and swivel, they look so simple yet extremely effective.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed the video. Great trip and location that was on the Murray. I haven’t seen any goanna’s, I have while camping on the Snowy River. Certainly no sightings of the python you mentioned. That set is hand made from about 10 years ago. Not from a shop. Cheers Tim.
I hope theres no gators and crocs in that creek bed. Only twice did i ever camp near a water source. But the guys always allowed me to pitch my tent slightly away from the edge of the river during our motorcycles adventure trip. They know im worried too much on gators and crocs coming up from the river. But it seems theres none when you camp there. Maybe im worried too much. Loves Hayliee (Brisbane)😘😘😘😘😘
Yeah mate, we dont have those critters in our rivers. To cold for them down here. You can have them mate. You take care and stay safe up in Brissy. Cheers Tim
Great looking camping areas in both Part 1 and Part 2. With Part 2 is that Forestry Camping or local Government? I am in Qld and area looks great Murray and Murrumbidgee. Great videos thank you so much.
Gday Stephen, Really nice camping spots mate in both episodes. Very relaxing to say the least. Thanks mate for your feedback. Greatly appreciate it. You take care up in QLD mate. Cheers Tim.
Tim, the one thing I love about your videos, is the ease of your cooking methods, nothing fancy, but basic good old-fashioned meals, great camping spots, cold beers, and fresh air. Cannot wait to get my travels underway and try to do what you do, keep things simple 😎😎 I would like to ask though, what size camp oven do you use?
Gday Warren Basic cooking methods is a the way to go, simple and easy. But amazing meals are made from those basic campfire cooking methods. You can’t beat campfire cooker meals, they taste the best. My camp oven is a 12in. Plenty big enough for cooking in. Thanks mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim.
Nice video :) Tip for snags. Put them into cold water, bring them to a boil for a couple mins take them out and put directly over the fire until crispy instead of on the pan ;) give it a go.
Great video Tim and wow what an amazing location there. Really enjoying the videos. Interested in the oven you are using and sorry if you've already explained. There is something inside the base of the oven that lifts it off the base? I assume that reduces burning risk. I am in the uk and have been totally converted to using your camping method. Although you do make everything look so easy too 👍 All the best mate, stay safe and keep those videos coming 👍👏😊
Gday Lee Yes, I use what’s called a trivet in the bottom of the camp oven. It helps to stop the bottom of what you’re cooking from biting and provides better hot air flow around the meal being cooked. I have a video on how to use a camp oven. I explain in that video the benefits of using one. Thanks for your reply and feedback. Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Hi Tim thanks very much. I went onto your channel and watched the video with 7 cooking items, that was very helpful. I need that iron fire arm for toasting and pot stability. That could be a very popular seller for you😉 I watched your advice about the oven and found it very helpful. Thanks for your help Tim. As you can see I am a late developer in camping, so your videos are very useful. All the best mate and hope you don't mind all my questions 👍

Absolutely spot mate.
Solo camping can be a very relaxing and enjoyable camping experience.
Thanks mate for your feedback.

You can not imagine how enjoyable it was, to view your Murray River camping videos, with a cup of tea, in front of the wood fire, while in a Sydney lockdown, with the cold wind blasting and heavy rain outside. So good, that i might just go and watch them all over again. Thanks Tim.

Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim
Hiya Tim great you are able to get out and about! Yeah just to see those mighty majestic Gum Trees and the surrounds, just fantastic!
Gday Andrew,
These Murray River eps were both filmed when Victoria was out of lock down.
Not the case now.
The river red gums are amazing tress.
Many years old.
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
This is the best we're going to get while we're locked up, thanks Time. Looking forward to hitting the bush ASAP.
Yeah mate, i hope things change for all of us very soon. Need to get back camping.

This along with ep 1 were two very relaxing trips on the Murray River.
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
Great camp,lm not envious because lm camped at the big Burdekin river trying to teach this bloke called Buck how to make real Victorian tea. Looking forward to getting home and camping amongst my brothers,leave them fish for me.😁😁😁
G'day Greg,
You guys have a top trip mate. I have to catch some fish before i need to leave you some. Lol
Cheers Tim
I think I will practice swinging that Billy with cold water first 😆
cracking spot cobber.
G'day mate,
I have a video on my channel where i explain how to make billy tea on the campfire.
Trying with cold water first is one of my tips mentioned in that video.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim
Thanks Tim, really needed to see the mighty Murray my absolute favourite place to go camping, miss it so much!! Love your work mate, more Murray please :-)))
No worries mate. It sure was a really nice spot to camp up.
I will find some more Murray River locations down the track.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim
Miss the Murray very much 😢 great video most of my camps are on rivers like that. Great cook ups aswel mate.
I suggest if you go the Murray again
For fishing best is a running sinker rig corn or cheese. Get a bell and let it do its thing you will 100% catch. Thanks for the entertainment Tim.!
I miss going up to the Murray I have a lot of great memories. Thank you for the video 👍
G'day Craig,
Great spot mate. Hope you can go again soon.
Cheers Tim
great stuff yet again. Ive been trying every blacksmith i can find, welder,metlsmith etc to get a cook set like yours forged...... yes there are "off the shelf cheaper options" , but hand made, always original sings to me.....
Some simular items in the camping shops.
Cheers Tim
Looks awesome!
Amazing camp spot mate.
I appreciate your feedback.
Cheers Tim
@@timbates4wdadventures We go to Christies Beach near Echuca to test our Camp Chairs (more drinking really but a bit of testing), not as remote as where you are but looks very similar!
@@dillonshredder Sounds like a great spot mate where you go.
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers Tim
There just some magic about riverside camp, had a chance to camp next to the copper river in qld outback for a few days, best time ever! Great video!
Yeah mate, very relaxing camping up beside a river. Loved this trip.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
Good trip Tim and a fine spot to camp. Thanks for the video.
It’s a ripper spot.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
MAGNIFICENT!
It was that and more.
Cheers Tim
Thank you for bringing the serenity of the Murray River into my living room Tim. Job well done !
Thanks Geoff,
Im glad you enjoyed it mate. Great spot thats for sure.
Cheers Tim
You're definitely right about rivers and waters
Great spots to camp.
Cheers Tim
I’m so relaxed. 🍺 Now I feel like scrambled eggs 🍳
Thanks Tim. 👍🇦🇺
Great meal anytime of day I reckon. Lol.
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim
Great video and what a fantastic location. All the bird calls are special including the butcher birds who have such a melodious call. You can’t beat a night shower or for that matter sitting by a fire late at night staring into the coals. Ah well so good to watch your travels and certainly put the lockdown and COVID-19 in the background.
Gday Ron,
Yeah mate, this trip had it all.
Location, bird sounds, bush cooking and the rain.
Great trip, wish I could go back.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Great spot. I spent the New Year 2020-21 near there. Looks like the weather is nice and cool this time of the year. Now I can’t go more than 5km from my house due to lockdown. Thanks for posting this. I miss camping.
The weather was great mate apart from a bit of rain that night. Stunning weather during the day.
Travel again soon i hope mate.
Cheers Tim
this looks like a great destination for me one day when we can travel again cheers
Yeah mate. Check it out for sure when we can hit the road.
Cheers Tim
Another nice video and camping spot. No shortage of firewood there Tim. Thank you for sharing.
Jason from lockdown Victoria.
G'day Jason,
Endless supply of firewood along the Murray mate. You dont have to go far for a load.
Yeah mate, we are all in lock down now. Lets hope mate it's all over soon.
Take care and stay safe.
Cheers Tim
I have been cursing you Tim while watching your video with you sitting by the fire, alongside the Murray at night, while l sit on my plain boring couch. All kidding aside l can't wait to get back out there so thanks again Tim.
Awesome as always, thanks Tim
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers Tim
Great stuff mate I wish I was there now all the best
Yeah, i wish i could go for sure.
Hope we can all do that soon.
Take care mate.
Cheers Tim
Just what I needed tonight. Thanks Tim!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed this stunning camp spot on the Murray River.
Take care mate.
Cheers Tim
Camping, quiet when not around people in general, relaxing coz your not around idiots, serenity, love it, you're definitely a old brew Aussie 🤣 righto
Gday Helen,
Yeah, something special about camping solo.
Very relaxing and peaceful.
That was a great trip on the Murray River.
Cheers Tim

Thanks again Tim
G'day Peter,
No worries mate. I appreciate your feedback on the video. Tops tuff mate.
Hope we can all travel again very soon.
I could do a video on my fridge while in lock down mate.
See how that goes in the coming weeks.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim
Just another great time in the bush Tim. Can’t wait to get back down there and visit some of the places you’ve been. Stay safe everyone.
Thanks again mate.
Thanks Ian, mate i hope you can get out soon and check out some of the spots i have set up camp on.

Cheers Tim
Great stuff Tim I’m having a trip up the Murray through your eyes and loving it
Cheers mate 🍺👍🇦🇺
G'day Bruce,
I hope one day soon you can go and see it for your self. Great spot.
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers Tim
Thanks Tim. Being in lockdown and watching this video makes me feel as if I am beside the Murray, hearing the birds calling out and the occasional paddle boat coming by. Wish I could be out there tonight. Perhaps a backyard fire will have to do. Cheers, Floyd.
G'day Floyd,
I hope we can all go soon mate. Back yard camp out sounds the go for now.
Stay safe mate and take care.
Cheers Tim
This is exactly how I feel while in isolation removing from Covid.
Another awesome vid mate such a good watch keep it up mate 🤙🤙🍻
G'day Blake,
Thanks heaps mate. Glad you enjoyed the video. Stunning spot.
Cheers Tim
The angles and efforts are superb! Shocked there are not more subscribers, but they'll come! Thank you for the experience!
Thanks heaps mate. I do try and cover the best angles to set off the video.
Greatly appreciate it mate.
Cheers Tim
I like the steamer idea you have made
Thanks mate.
I have a video on that which i made a few weeks ago.,
A close look at it.
Cheers Tim
No Garlic!!! great video Tim, was heading that way till we got locked down. Maybe next year.
G'day Jason,
No mate, no garlic in these cook ups. Lol
Maybe on the next one.
Hope we can travel; soon mate. This is a great spot as is the first Murray River episode.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim
Great video, great spot. Thanks for sharing
No worries mate.
Top spot.
Cheers Tim
Great video Tim
Thanks mate.
It sure was a great spot to camp.
Thanks for your reply
Cheers Tim
Another great solo trip Tim. Looking forward to camping on the Murray again. Bring on next year and the riddance of this year’s nonsense
G'day Ian,
I hope mate that we can all travel freely next year.
The Murray has so much on offer.
Cheers Tim
Cracking spot mate. I can camp in that spot for a week. Top Stuff Tim. Cheers.
Yeah mate. It's a top spot.
Cheers Tim
Gr8 video Tim. Keeps me sane while in lockdown. Bangers & mash has to be an Aussie diet staple. Cheers
G'day Colin,
Cant beat a simple but tasty cook up on the campfire. Bangers and mash is it. Lol
Thanks mate for your reply and you take care during these times.
Cheers Tim
Good stuff Tim, love the episodes mate makes me miss the Murray heaps. one of my favorite places in VIC.
Cheers, Simon
Gday Simon,
They were great times on the Murray River mate.
I’m looking forward to seeing more along the river.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
Once again you’re in a top spot all alone. I’m surprised and a little envious how you find isolated spots so often. Can’t beat the Murray, really, apart from an alpine camp with a view.
Thanks mate. This was a ripper spot and very quiet and remote.
I had a mate help me with this location.
The Murray has it all.
Cheers Tim
Magic spot mate! Leave a line in with a cube of cheese on the hook. Cod go nuts for it..👍 😉 🎣🍻
Gday mate,
A few people have mentioned using cheese.
I’ll have to give it a go next time.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Hi Tim thanks for sharing your experiences. My partner and I did a trip from Tom Groggin in NSW as close as we could get to the source the Murray and followed the River by road as close as we could get, free camping until we reached its outlet at Lake Alexandrina SA. An Iconic trip.
G'day mate,
That would have been one amazing trip.
Tom Groggin is a top spot on the Murray River.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim
Tim another great video mate the Murray River looks great now there is some water coming down stream. Just a cooking tip when cooking scrammbled eggs keep the milk out. Just use butter no salt either mate you won't look back.
Gday Glenn,
Yeah mate, the river is flowing nicely at the moment.
It’s pretty high that’s for sure.
Drop the milk you reckon. Might have to try that one.
Thanks for the tip.
Cheers Tim.
Great video mate. I headed away for my first solo trip last weekend in tassie. Definitely a different experience but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be doing more in the future 👌
Thats ace mate that you had a good time on your solo camping trip. Tassie would be unreal to get away in on your own.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
Anywhere along this great river is the perfect place to start your solo camping if you are a bit worried going out alone.You can start doing these type of trips until you are comfortable then slowly branch out further.Thanks Tim you are my lock down saviour!
Yeah mate, this trip and the one before are great places top try out solo camping.
Stay safe mate in lock down, i hope we can all go again soon.
Cheers Tim
good river up boundary bend way my fav spot just up stream from where you were narrung forest
im bulding a pontoon boat and my first trip will be from swan hill to boundry bend real soon
Some great spots along the Murray River to camp
This was really where I stayed.
You pontoon boat sounds great mate.
Would be nice cruzing the river in it.
Cheers Tim
Thanks Tim , great , I'm jealous 😀
G'day Graham,
Stay safe mate and hopefully we can all go soon.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim
Another great video mate.
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim
Don't think of trees as timber, Think of them as part of the living world. Yep, I've had a few.:) Cheers, mate.
Really nice spot on the banks of the Murray river mate.
Cheers Tim
Another great one Tim! That same boat went past in your last clip too. Cheers Steve
Yeah mate. Great way to travel the river. Slow and relaxing.
Cheers Tim
The Charles Sturt expedition in 1830 then retraced their journey by rowing the 1500 kms back against the tide.
Righto.
Cheers Tim
Nice one Tim
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim
I thought of Slim Dusty's song Along the Road to Gundagai .. where he mentions the murrumbidgees flowin
Great song mate from a true country legend.
Cheers Tim
Had my first solo camp on the weekend Tim. Not waiting for the D-max delivery, Falcon ute, esky & swag, got out of Brisbane before we have another lock down. Brilliant!
Sounds great mate. Thats great you got away before the lock downs kicked in.
Cheers Tim
Started holidays the day regional nsw went into lockdown. I’ve got another 4 weeks left and hopefully i can get out there. Stuck in the house with my better half but nearly ready to set up camp in the backyard!!😂😂 thanks for the vid mate. 👍
Me too rich , have just had 5 weeks off , was suppose to go to Cape York , spent 3 weeks in lockdown, I'm feeling your pain mate , stay strong
@@grahamwells7263 that would have been awesome Graham. If the deadbeats just do what’s needed we might be able to think outside of the backyard!😂👍
Bugger mate. Back yard camp out sounds the goods for now until we can go again.
Thanks mate for your reply and you take care.
Cheers Tim
Tim What would be your favourite spot to camp that place that left you would say left an impression on me, I talking for everyone here your are very well filmed and edited and camp fire scenes provide that feeling of calm and relaxation in these Covid times im camping this week at a isolated location south of Sydney near Woronora Dam cant wait to get away from the world for 24 hrs.
G'day Hayden,
mate way to many spots i have camped in to really pick a fav spot.
They are all special. Cant get enough.
Thanks a lot mate for your feedback. Lets hope we can all travel soon.
You take care up in Sydney mate.
Cheers Tim
I haven’t watched yet but please, please please Tim I hope you said “how’s the serenity”…😂😂😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mmmm, not sure on this one mate. Lol
Cheers Tim
As a fellow solo traveler I appreciate the serenity of the Aussie bush. The Murray has a ambiance & vibe of its own, but exploring with a kayak is another level of wonder. Hope to see a kayak on your roof racks one day. Keep up the great vids.
Gday Glenn,
Yeah mate, the Murray has it all going. Stunning area to setup camp and those birds sounds are simply amazing.
Funny you mention the kayak.
I only mentioned to a mate not half an hour ago, about looking into a kayak for future Murray River trips.
That would be a top camp spot to go and explore the Murrumbidgee.
Thanks heaps mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Great idea, i recently bought a kayak and looking forward to throwing it and the swag on the roof rack and heading to the Murray.
@@timbates4wdadventures Thanks Tim for your reply, I have enjoyed paddling my kayak on many inland rivers, lakes and offshore for over 10 years and introduced some mates to kayaking. I have found the sit on style to be the most practical in case of falling in they are easy to re-mount.Research is advisable before you commit because you only have to buy one to last a life time. No rego, no fuel & no battery plus good exercise. Good luck and hope to see you out there one day.
Hi Tim. great video.
Have you in any of your trips and camping along the Murray river, seen any of the monitor species or the rare Murray Darling Carpet Python ?
Also, where did you get your cooking stand/pot/pan holder with the adjustable height and swivel, they look so simple yet extremely effective.
Thanks mate.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great trip and location that was on the Murray.
I haven’t seen any goanna’s, I have while camping on the Snowy River. Certainly no sightings of the python you mentioned.
That set is hand made from about 10 years ago. Not from a shop.
Cheers Tim.
I hope theres no gators and crocs in that creek bed. Only twice did i ever camp near a water source. But the guys always allowed me to pitch my tent slightly away from the edge of the river during our motorcycles adventure trip. They know im worried too much on gators and crocs coming up from the river. But it seems theres none when you camp there. Maybe im worried too much. Loves Hayliee (Brisbane)😘😘😘😘😘
Yeah mate, we dont have those critters in our rivers. To cold for them down here.
You can have them mate.
You take care and stay safe up in Brissy.
Cheers Tim
@@timbates4wdadventures 😘😘😘😘😘
Great looking camping areas in both Part 1 and Part 2. With Part 2 is that Forestry Camping or local Government? I am in Qld and area looks great Murray and Murrumbidgee. Great videos thank you so much.
Gday Stephen,
Really nice camping spots mate in both episodes.
Very relaxing to say the least.
Thanks mate for your feedback. Greatly appreciate it.
You take care up in QLD mate.
Cheers Tim.
Tim, the one thing I love about your videos, is the ease of your cooking methods, nothing fancy, but basic good old-fashioned meals, great camping spots, cold beers, and fresh air. Cannot wait to get my travels underway and try to do what you do, keep things simple 😎😎 I would like to ask though, what size camp oven do you use?
Gday Warren
Basic cooking methods is a the way to go, simple and easy.
But amazing meals are made from those basic campfire cooking methods.
You can’t beat campfire cooker meals, they taste the best.
My camp oven is a 12in.
Plenty big enough for cooking in.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Nice video :) Tip for snags. Put them into cold water, bring them to a boil for a couple mins take them out and put directly over the fire until crispy instead of on the pan ;) give it a go.
Gday mate,
Sounds like an interesting tip that one.
Thanks a lot for that. Might have to give it a try.
Cheers Tim
Great video Tim and wow what an amazing location there. Really enjoying the videos. Interested in the oven you are using and sorry if you've already explained. There is something inside the base of the oven that lifts it off the base? I assume that reduces burning risk. I am in the uk and have been totally converted to using your camping method. Although you do make everything look so easy too 👍 All the best mate, stay safe and keep those videos coming 👍👏😊
Gday Lee
Yes, I use what’s called a trivet in the bottom of the camp oven.
It helps to stop the bottom of what you’re cooking from biting and provides better hot air flow around the meal being cooked.
I have a video on how to use a camp oven.
I explain in that video the benefits of using one.
Thanks for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Hi Tim thanks very much. I went onto your channel and watched the video with 7 cooking items, that was very helpful. I need that iron fire arm for toasting and pot stability. That could be a very popular seller for you😉 I watched your advice about the oven and found it very helpful. Thanks for your help Tim. As you can see I am a late developer in camping, so your videos are very useful. All the best mate and hope you don't mind all my questions 👍
