Hi Tim. Well thats a nice place. I was thinking about the trowel for a long time now lol. Then you tell the story about it now I know. Cheers John from Gold Coast.
That landscape is amazing, on my bucket list before i fall off me perch hopefully. I betcha lovin that camper trailer. Look forward to the next one Timbo.
Omg, the landscape is stunning, specially from the higher peaks looking down. Yeah mate, the camper trailer on these longer trips is so much better. Thanks mate, ep two will be out in a couple of weeks. Cheers Tim
@@adamcarroll8356 thanks mate. Great few days. Yeah that you can. What ever you want can go in them. That’s why they are great to take away camping for the campfire. Plenty of butter and give them a tap on a rock before opening them. Cheers Tim

Hahah Lol, Nah mate, it's far from been decommissioned. Lol 'I still have it, the one i took is just a bit smaller. Great way to run a trip away mate as you guys do. Thanks mate. Cheers Tim
A good start to your trip. Though it would have been good to see you setup your camper at camp. Just like you showing yourself cooking meals, seeing you setting up the camper would be part of the viewing experience. Great story about your trowel. Love your history with it.
@@fatmanoverlanding great start mate. I won’t be filming a full camper trailer setup in my travel videos. I film everything myself, it’s way too much work. I might film a few parts of setup on the next one. Thanks mate, the trowel is a special part of my camp box. Cheers Tim. Cheers Tim.
Another amazing location in Australia to add to my bucket list. I had a feeling you had worked in some type of skilled trade because of how prepared you are on every trip, but I never would've guessed bricklaying. Even without the attached story, using a trowel with the tip cut off to flip whatever you cook in the frying pan or whatever you want to use makes sense because there's no holes for things that add flavor to fall through and get burned. If I was as good at putting information packets together as they are, I'd make it my full-time job. I've heard that pizza cooked in a brick oven is good, but I don't recall if I've ever had any. The peace and quiet in a camping location is something more places in the US need, especially in the South. Just because the cooking appliance is old doesn't mean it doesn't work well for its intended purpose, and some of those older things work better than the fancy new ones you can buy at the local store. Looking forward to more adventures you have in the Outback. Cheers, Colton
@@ColtonRMagby Gday mate, Thanks for dropping in from the US. Yeah I spent a lot of years in the bricklaying game, they were great years.

The steel is worn smooth in places too. 39:00 no divider on the inside of the jaffle iron. 👍

Gday mate, Yes, it will be a three part series from the stations i stayed on. I spent a couple of days driving up mate. First day was ten hours to Renmark where i spent three days. Then onto Mount Little from Renmark, that was about 5 hours. Cheers Tim
Mate great vid, but you need to add a bit more oil in your bacon or eggs in the morning for breakie, or change to rashers, I don't know, looks way too dry for my liking. Anyway as long as you enjoy it that's the most important thing. Keep the vids coming man.
Another cracker Tim, thoroughly enjoyed, believe the round ones are pie irons some mob over your way somewhere still makes them have seen them on google looks like they do a better job than my square one. Try baked beans, egg,cheese and garlic, as long as there’s no-one within a K it’s safe

Yeah, spot on.
The simple meals can be the best tasting.
Wicked spot, i'll head back some day.
Cheers Tim
@timbates4wdadventures l loved it Tim, my sort of place in the middle of nowhere, off the beaten path but offering so much to see and do. Go you on the bike mate, you rode those bumps like a pro!
@@Lee-astrololee Camped like i was in the middle of no where, b ut other people are around, and a long way apart which is great.
The bike was handy lol
Cheers Tim
A nice roast lamb on a rotisserie would be good mate !
That would be a great cook up mate.
I generally do a roast in my camp oven.
Cheers Tim
You found solitude Tim, well done. 🇦🇺👍 16:00 best egg flipper I've seen Tim. I'll buy a trowell just for flipping my egg bacon and steak. I've kept my trade tools, used them for 50 years...the wood on my tools have an awesome smooth tarnish to them. The steel is worn smooth in places too. 39:00 no divider on the inside of the jaffle iron. 👍
I sure did mate. It was a very quiet and relaxing trip, great camp spot that i had.
My ol trowel works very well now for flipping eggs etc Lol
Cant beat the ol jaffle iron.
Not sure what the divider is you mention?
Cheers Tim
@@timbates4wdadventures sandwich toasters these days jaffles end up in a triangle shape sanga. Those round ones are the best
Another great video, thanks. Can you share with us where you got the old skool adjustable height fire grate? I WANT one ❤🔥
@@justinwynn7299 thanks mate.
It’s hand made by a mate of mine.
Not from a shop
Cheers Tim
My local butcher makes Worcestershire and cracked pepper sausages, bit more expensive but worth it.
@@Gu_Gus they would taste unreal mate.
They’d go great on the campfire.
Cheers Tim.

I only took this pan along as it’s a bit smaller.
The ol pan will be back in the next trip.
Cheers Tim
Great video MR Bates. Hope you had tyre slime in your bike tyres, or were there no Bindii's there? Good to see the Y61 still plugging away🤠

G'day Tim,
Are you using billy tea campfire tea bags for your morning brew?
Keep up the excellent work, mate,
Your true blue.
@@christopherdownes1642 Gday mate,
Not using tea bags in my billy tea.
Leaf tea is what I use.
Thanks a lot mate.
Cheers Tim.
Another great vid and you made me hungry with the camperfire cooking. What month did you travel in ? Stay Safe
@@troutchaser7424 thanks mate.
I do enjoy campfire cooking.
I did this trip only three weeks ago mate.
I had great weather
Cheers Tim.
Looks terrific tim is this going to be a series also what was the drive time from your place
Gday mate,
Yes, it will be a three part series from the stations i stayed on.
I spent a couple of days driving up mate.
First day was ten hours to Renmark where i spent three days.
Then onto Mount Little from Renmark, that was about 5 hours.
Cheers Tim
Mate great vid, but you need to add a bit more oil in your bacon or eggs in the morning for breakie, or change to rashers, I don't know, looks way too dry for my liking. Anyway as long as you enjoy it that's the most important thing. Keep the vids coming man.
Thanks mate, bit more oil might be the go Lol
Episode two will be out in a couple of weeks.
Cheers Tim
@@timbates4wdadventures Cant wait mate. Hope I didn't offend you.
@@herbmarsh8519 not at all mate. lol.
He NEEDS to put more oil on HIS bacon and eggs, because that's how YOU like it? 😂 Seriously, where do these people come from? 😕
You forgot the fried onions on ya snags Tim
Absolutely i did. Lol
Snag in bread with onion is the go. Reminds me of going to Bunnings Lol
Next time mate.
Cheers Tim
I was sure he had onion in the frypan. might have to watch again.
@@craigshugg2332 you might be right. lol
Cheers Tim
Can’t hear any birds there Tim. Any there? Cheers
@@trevorcurran9294 it was very quiet on that station mate.
Strange compared to the other two stations I stay on.
Cheers Tim
i thought with all the recent rains it would look a bit better
@@thelonewolf666 I filmed that 4 weeks ago now.
I missed all the rain.
It’s probably greened up a bit since I was in the Flinders.
Cheers Tim
Great video Tim, liking the longer videos, what camera gear do you use?
@@Stevenk770 thanks mate.
There will be more longer vids soon the coming weeks.
I just use GoPros and a dslr
Pretty simple.
Cheers Tim.
Another cracker Tim, thoroughly enjoyed, believe the round ones are pie irons some mob over your way somewhere still makes them have seen them on google looks like they do a better job than my square one. Try baked beans, egg,cheese and garlic, as long as there’s no-one within a K it’s safe
Mate, how do i contact you for a stubby holder? I NEED a stubby holder 😂 JT from WA.
@@Hillbilly973 Gday mate
If you’re able to message me on my facebook pages, and I’ll send you some details.
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Thanks anyway Tim. Dont do social media. Keep up the excellent work. JT from WA.
Pizza night ?
why do you spin your billy around in circles?
To settle the leaves to the bottom of the billy. 👍
Settles the tea leaves to the bottom.
Cheers Tim
