Gungarlin River Camp - Davey's Hut - Snowy Mountains - Remote Camping
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Gungarlin River Camp is situated in the Snowy Mountains, it's a beautiful location on the Gungarlin River which is renown for its good trout fishing, brumbies (which I seen none of either of these 🤦🏽♂️🤣)
Davey's Hut is a short 4K return and is well worth the walk as you cross high country streams and high country plains to see this awesome high country hut which was built back in 1909.

Love ya content , its not the fishing tips or the cooking reviews , not even the blunt comical commentary , its the down to earth attitude that you bring to this channel and the breath taking wonderful area of our great outdoors that give us , your glued to the screen viewers the ideas of where to go on our own adventures .Always looking forward for your next content , thanks heaps !!!
Thanks Martin for the kind words, you’re definitely not going to get much in the way of cooking or fishing in my videos, most people know that by now !! 🤦🏽🤣
But that’s what I’m trying to achieve is showing people so different locations, so hopefully you guys can decide if it’s worth going to and hopefully if you do, you won’t have as many brain fart and f@&k ups as I do !! 🤷🏼🤣
Thanks for watching again and continuing to comment. It’s greatly appreciated!!👍🏼
My son came around today and noticed I was watching you on RUclips. He met you few years ago, he found your wallet and gave it back😊
How funny is this, I found that message again just the other day saying he found my wallet. I was so relieved it wasn’t funny, I’d only been in Melbourne a few days with mum in hospital.
Flick me your address Kev on Insta or messenger and I’ll send some stickers your was and some for your son if you’d like.
Hope ya enjoying the content.
Cheers 🍻
Thanks man. I don't do stickers,my wife and I love your show so let us know your first name ( we just call you the troopy man) and keep up the great work. Hope to see you on the tracks one day.
@@KevinCorfe-z9m Gavin but I’m better known as Krusty. 🤦🏽
Cheers
best you tube channel going round. honest and totally relatable. just an average bloke. affordable car. and the average man’s camp sites and trips.
just awesome content
i love watching the mainstream 4x4 channels. but i’m never affording a chopped 200. im never doing big red. i’m never doing gourmet camp cooking.
keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words mate, that what I’m trying to be. The average persons YT channel, trying to keep it as real as I can. I’ll cook, but it’s not gunna be extravagant, and it won’t be a 30 min segment on my cooking.
Thanks for watching mate and taking the time to comment, it’s greatly appreciated! 👍🏼
Spot on 👍
Absolutely. Nothing else comes close. No script, no film crew following, just doin' what I like doing. Great. 👍🇦🇺
@@mort8143 I just think you guys are easily pleased !
Cheers 👍🏼
No crap, just real.
Happiest man alive mate good luck on fishing 👍
I need more than luck at the moment Wade. 🤦🏽🤣
Cheers for watching again and dropping a comment. 👍🏼
Beautiful hut, magnificent views, and great campgrounds
You forgot to mention a shit fisherman. 🤣
It’s great country that’s for sure, I’ll be back to try my luck with the fish again.
Thanks for watching again and taking the time out to comment. 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy I've felt inspired to try my hand at fishing, especially in the high country, I reckon it would be a total fail tho 🤣
@@CooeeAdventures you could come with me, I’d make you look like you know what your doing !! 🤦🏽🤣
@@aguyandhistroopy 🤣
Mate love the content cheers🍺🍺🍺
Thanks James, appreciate you taking the timeout to watch the channel. 👍🏼
Off to a rough start there Krusty, losing lures and snapping rods Hahaha. Thank God for bloody beer, aye! I tell you what, mate, what a great spot! Might head up there next year for some trout fishing. Love your work! 😄
Yeah it’s cracker, actually thought it was a seasonal closure but it’s not, might have to head back home that way again soon.
I pack a lot of beer on my trips, not much of a fisherman. 🤦🏽🤣
Thanks for tuning in again Sam. 👍🏼
Aw geeeeeez the bloody gullwing thingy, did the same only a week ago, couldn't work out why the cab seemed louder than normal lol.
I’ve recently installed another 2 glass EmuWings to the front sliders in the troopy, absolutely love them. Makes camping out of them so easy. 👌
Haven’t noticed to the noise as I drive with my windows down most of the time.
Cheers for watching mate.
I went there on Wednesday at 11pm at night
Used google maps and just followed the navigation and worked fine
Yeah Damo, that’s definitely the easy way to get there. But I’m know for taking different tracks, turns and often getting lost and finding new things. I must admit this time it was a genuine mistake. But since that mistake I have found a few more good locations - huts in that area by viewers contacting me. So all is not lost.
‘ Its not about the destination it’s about the journey ‘
Cheers for watching mate, and taking the time out to comment. 👍🏼
E Bike and fly fishing next season 👍👍
Good luck … I have neither of those 2 items. But it would be a good way to do it. You should watch Chris Bamman on YT, he has a better idea … he uses a postie bike.
Cheers for watching Barney. 👍🏼
Always good Krusty. Your woes remind me of cooking snags on a rusty old spade 'cause we forgot a frying pan, or a mate absentmindidly bringing two rod ends, but no stock. Ha Ha. I fished the Gungarlin 35 years ago. My old man fly fishing upstream from your spot, me, downstream with small 'Rooster Tail' lures. Almost every cast hooked a 10 inch Brown trout. Open plains bordering the river, me simply wading midstream. All catch and release, just fun. The Gungarlin is the highest river in Australia. Sounds like Snowy 2's big drill bit isn't stuck anymore?
Enjoy all your travels digger. 👍👍👍
Thanks Mort, yeah they reckon it’s still a good river to fish, I just had no luck as usual. Some good memories there for you mate. 👌
Pretty sure it’s moving again but I’m not certain. It’s a different part of the job to where I’m working.
@@aguyandhistroopyfair enough. I do remember thinking we'd taken the wrong track by going straight ahead along the powerlines, instead of turning right down the track you first took. Lucky us. Old man had a Nissan Patrol. There was a bulldozer clearing the powerlines firebreak at the time. Rough track, but worth the effort. Happy Jack's track was always a shortcut temptation coming from Victoria if the gate was open. 😀👍
Thanks mate
No problems … thanks for watching mate. 👍🏼
That 10 second silence after you said your running esky now was priceless 😂🤣 I knew exactly what you were going to say! Love it mate good episode 🍻
Yeah, it was one of them FME moments 🤦🏽. TG I froze some big ice blocks, otherwise it was gunna be warm beers for me.
Thanks for taking the time out to watch and drop a comment 👍🏼
Nice spot that's for sure gotta love the Snowy Mountains.
Yeah Rod. It’s a spectacular spot that for sure, shame they have pretty much locked every track apart from the mainstream tracks - roads.
Be so many more cracking spots to be found if they were open.
Cheers for taking the time out to comment. 👍🏼
Thanks
Seriously mate, flick me ya address on Insta PM or Messenger and I’ll mail ya some stickers etc.
I appreciate the support.👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy not the best with instagram but will get my kids to show me how to do on messenger. Love the videos and this small contribution is for a new lure…..
@@touringwithtyrone4933 could thrown a bit more for the rod !! 🤣🤣
See how ya go.
Cheers mate.👍🏼
Can’t beat snags for tea Gav. Good to see you out under canvas!
Cheers Matt, love me snags, nice and easy, always good to go for a camp sit around a fire.
Its not camping if you don’t have a fire, don’t no how you guys do it over west. 🤷🏼
Hope you’re well mate.
Chin up Krusty - still a great vid. We need your other recommendations for sweet Kosciuszko camps.
All good mate, everyone has days like that. Still better than being at work.
Plenty of great spots out there. I’ve only just scratching the surface of Koscuiszko. Just not much available now it’s all seasonal closures 🤦🏽
19:26 - yeah ya made me chuckle
Lucky I edited out all the noises coming out of the shitter !! 🤦🏽🤣👍🏼
Fwarking amazing again mate...................Love it
Thanks Bulldoggy, it’s a nice spot, few trout would have been good, but I’m definitely not complaining.
Cheers for coming back and watching another one. 👍🏼
always a fun watch
Thanks mate. Don’t want my trips to be to mundane. Trying to keep viewer’s awake during them. 🤣👍🏼
Cheers for watching and taking the time out to comment.
Great vid mate.
I feel ya pain when it comes to snapping rods.
Devastating hey.
Another well constructed video Looks like a great spot.
Great little hut.
Gotta love a Snagga Cook up. On point 👌😜
Thanks for the Merch Represent Brother.
Keep up the great work.
And stay away from the snags mate. They will swallow those lures everyday of the week 😜👌
Cheers Brad and Fi.
It was an old rod, probably a blessing as I now have 2 yes 2 rods to replace that one and more suitable for trout, not that it will help me catch a trout.🤦🏽🤣
It was a cracking spot, awesome river and the hut was well worth the walk. A part from a fair few f@$k ups on my behalf it was a great trip, and the snags were on point. 👍🏼
Thanks for tuning in guys.
Appreciate the support 👌
Another good video mate definitely love a few snags I better drop you off a steak 🤙keep the vids rolling in love ya content mate cheers for sharing
Come on Braydon. It was some old content, I haven’t had a snag for a few episodes now ! 👍🏼🤣
But if you’re passing by definitely bring a few steaks for sure. 💯
What a beautiful spot Krusty 👌👌
@@James_James01 it was mate, I’ll be going back there at some point. Meant to be some good trout fishing there. 🤦🏽🤣
@@aguyandhistroopy hahah take a spare rod next time hey 🤣 sorry mate I shouldn’t be saying that, not like I’m a pro fisho 🤣
@@James_James01 I have 3 in the troopy already to go. But didn’t feel like luck was on my side on this day. 🤦🏽🤣
@@aguyandhistroopy it sure wasn’t but your commentary more than made up for the lack of fishing mate so still a win on my end 🤣👌
@@James_James01 bahahaha. 👍🏼🤦🏽
Awesome episode 👌🏻 Trout fishing is a great way to ruin a good weekend
I hear ya and your bank account. 🤦🏽🤣 Hopefully one day I manage to catch one 👍🏼
👍🍻Gav got a 😅outta your ukups✌️
He continues to speak ! 👍🏼
Yeah. Wasn’t having much luck that trip was I. 🤦🏽
Cheers Mick 🍻
@@aguyandhistroopy 😁🤫
Ive only just recently found your channel and have been binge watching it and love your content mate. I did the mt pinnibar track and camped at wheelers hut last week after watching your episode there and had a ripper time. Keep up the good work mate 👍
Rightomate, glad your enjoying the channel, glad to hear you got out and about, after watching one of my videos, great bit of country up that way, and there’s still plenty more for you to explore. So don’t hold back … well maybe after the seasonal closures re open. 🤦🏽
Thanks for watching and taking the timeout to comment mate. 👍🏼
Cheers Krusty, gonna grab some merch this week to do what I can to support your channel and hopefully run into you on the tracks for a beer and a yarn. Cheers 🍻
@@Rightomate too easy, I’m currently up at Snowy 2.0, so that will work out well. I’m be home next week for a few days so I’ll be able to get it way.
Always keen for a yarn and a beer mate. 👍🏼
Thanks for another interesting adventure. Looks quite desolate at the hut. It must have been really cold there if the owners thought that Kiandra was better!
Yep, I've got an Inreach. Good for letting people know you're OK, or running late etc. Cheers,
Yeah Neil, might have been the calling of the gold maybe that made them go to Kiandra. 🤷🏼
I reckon either would be handy, definitely better than using a Epirb for something that’s not a real emergency.
Thanks for supporting the channel once again mate.
Nice area there Gav. First thing i noticed is no 23zero branding on the troopy, then no 270 awning so assumed it must be old footage. Would of been a great spot to get into a couple of trout but shit happens hey....next time.
Keep up the great work mate.
Yeah Damo, this episode was film late November, the same time as I did the stepping back from YT episode.
I was dirty when I snapped the rod. But it is what it is. I’d like to go back again and just chill there and try fishing. Great spot and a long way from anywhere really.
Thanks again for supporting the channel. It’s greatly appreciated.
Great video again, beautiful country over there. Cool seeing another hut and the drone footage - cheers 🇳🇿
It was a beautiful camp area, with awesome surroundings. Davey’s Hut was a bonus, as would have been if I didn’t break my rod and I caught a trout.
Cheers for tuning in 👍🏼
Epic camp and walk!!! you have a very natural presence in this one, loved it!!!
Thanks Keith, beautiful spot that’s for sure and the hut was definitely worth the walk. Shame I’m still to land a trout, but helps if you keep your lures and not break rods I guess. 🤦🏽
Not one of your better days, Gavin, but thanks for taking me along anyway - you pick some great spots.
Still better than any day I had at work for the previous 14 days. 👍🏼
It was a beautiful spot, and I’m glad I hiked in to the hut. I reckon I’ll head back in one day to try land a trout there.
Cheers for watching mate👍🏼
Fukin love it krusty made me laugh about the fishing and cooking show bits 🇦🇺👌🍻
Just saying it as it is 🤦🏽🤣 plenty of other channels to watch if people want cooking and fishing content. 🤷🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment.👌
Luv it mate keeping it real that’s how I roll also 👌🍻
Thanks for sharing awesome country
You’re more then welcome. Thanks for taking the time to watch and drop a comment 👍🏼
Awesome content yet again, sometimes easier to concede and grab some frozen fish fillets from woolies(or local grocery store)
beers are always guaranteed brother
Thanks David. It’s crossed my mind, even buying a whole trout and putting it on my line !🤦🏽🤣
But imagine when I actually do catch one, will be some beers drank that night. 👍🏼🤣
Thanks for watching.
Great video mate.. definitely adding to my wish list of places to visit. Cheers
Definitely worth a visit, just pack a few fishing rods 🤦🏽🤣.
Cheers for watching 👍🏼
Great episode Gavin, even if a few things did turn to brown smelly stuff. Impressive hut. I like the number 2 gold green black celta lure for those sorts of streams on 4 or 6 pound line.
Cheers Dunc, I have a few of them Celta lures, not in that colour though, think I’ll just keep adding them to my tackle box.
Nice hut that’s for sure and a beautiful remote area.
Thanks for watching.👍🏼
Glad to see you're still getting out there man. Going through some stuff myself right now, hope all is well on your side of the world and things are improving. Hoping I see you get into some fish next time!
Thanks mate … it’s good therapy, prob be even better if I did take the cameras.
I hope you’re getting through it, if it helps mate you can flick me a message on Messenger, I’m a long way away but I’m all ears.
I also hope I get onto some trout soon. 🤦🏽
Thanks for watching
Keep well 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy You know I find myself thinking that at times. And then when I have a good day/trip I'm always kicking myself for not bringing them! It's a tough balance, especially when you have other things going on distracting you and you just want to get out and enjoy it.
I might just do that (send a message) once things settle a bit. I have a lot of support coming in but it can get a bit overwhelming at times, might be good to get an outside perspective.
If I was a better trout fisherman I'd send you some tips. I've caught a few fly fishing but honestly I've had my best luck with inline spinner baits like Mepps (Number 3 and smaller) and an ultra lite spinning rod, not sure if y'all have them out your way but they seem to work good.
You too man, be safe out there.
@@wanderingoglethorpe it’s good you have some support. But feel free to drop me a message on Messenger or Instagram mate.
I always bring the cameras, I’m afraid I’ll miss some good content. 🤦🏽 it’s whether it makes the cut or not, and if it doesn’t I’m sorry on myself for not enjoying myself more. Definitely a tough balance.
Can’t say I’ve heard of the lures you’re talking about. But I’ve gone to a couple lightweight rods since I snapped that rod, lot more suited to trout fishing rather then estuary fishing.
Keep well, speak soon. 👍🏼
Sausages again! 😂
Lovin your content mate.👍🏻
Cheers Jamie… Bahaha… you got me. But it’s old content, been a while now since I’ve had them.
That was one awesome hut great place to leave the world behind.
Yeah Anne it was a nice hut and well looked after, not many options out there other then leaving the world behind, it’s pretty isolated.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Thanks for an entertaining video mate
No probs Jim. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Top stuff Gav, drone footage was great, beautiful country...as for the fishing...well, don't feel too bad. I started fly fishing about 30 years ago, I've caught 3 trout ! Admittedly I mainly fish the rocks in Sydney for Blackfish but that's a pretty low strike rate for mine. Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks Mate. It was beautiful country. I was actually going to buy a cheap fly rod and have a crack, then at least I can say I’m just learning. 🤷🏼
3 trout in 30 years, fair chance a this rate I’ll be around the same. Honestly since I’ve started YT I have caught much at all, to worried about the cameras I reckon.
Thanks Yipman for tuning in again. 👍🏼
Love the effort you put into your videos mate 👍
Thanks guys, a lot of hard work but I reckon it’s paying off. 👍🏼
Hi Gav enjoyed the vid mate. The camp site looked pretty lush (shame about the fishing … or lack of it …😂) and that hut looked pretty special and well looked after. Love ya work mate👍 Cheers, Chris
Cheers Chris. Glad you enjoyed it a got a bit of a laugh out of me catching no trout and breaking my rod ! 🤦🏽🤣 if you don’t laugh you cry. 👍🏼
Nice hut and campground. I’ll go back and catch a trout for you one day.
@@aguyandhistroopy yeah definitely catch a trout on my behalf bcoz I’ll never get one LOL
@@happyguy61 it’s looking like I’ll never catch one either at this rate. 🤦🏽
Hahaha mate I cracked up when your face changed, then you swore and realised you didn’t buy ice
Not real smart am I … took me a while to figure it out ! 🤦🏽
Lucky it was an overnighter. 👍🏼
Can’t wait to get home and watch this.
Hope you made it home safe mate… I need all the views I can get ! 👍🏼
Nice upload mate.
Jim
Cheers Jim… it was a nice relaxing camp. Well apart from forgetting the ice, taking a wrong turn and snapping a rod. But hey… it’s all in the adventure 🤦🏽🤣
Another fantastic video.Bummer about the fishing rod.I had to laugh with the comments about the owners of the Daveys Hut selling up and moving to Kiandra because it was too cold where the hut was located.Kinda like moving out of one fridge into another.
Yeah, I hear ya, maybe it was for the gold as it would be a little higher in elevation. I could work that out either.
Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment Pete. 👍🏼
Could easily have packed the shits and gone home after forgetting ice, taking a wrong turn, losing your lure and breaking a rod... but ya stuck it out and made some memories hey. And how goods a banger n spud salad for a feed!!! Enjoyed the vid pal.
It was one of them days that’s for sure. But after 14 days of work I wasn’t turning around.
Its was a beautiful spot, and I’ll be back for sure to slay some trout ! 🤦🏽🤣
Bangers and spud salad is definitely up there with some of the best bangers dishes going around.
Cheers for tuning in. 👍🏼
Beautiful country. Cheers.
That it was Paddy, I’ll be going back I reckon for sure, be a good place to sit back and unwind a bit and maybe catch a trout.
Great clip mate, what a beautiful piece of history, thanks for sharing……safe travels 🍺🍺
Cheers Alan, you’re more than welcome. Thanks for taking the time to watch and drop a comment. 👍🏼
Good vid🇦🇺🍺
Cheers Dave. Thanks for watching mate.👍🏼🍻
Another great watch there Gavin. I look forward to watching all your vids. Great work sticking it out
Cheers aaarcs, appreciate you taking the time out to watch them mate. 👍🏼
Nice clip mate. Been thinking of getting down there. Probably after the streams open again in spring. Lovely spot and great hut, fantastic grazing country. Be great if someone watched this, retrieved the lure, and returned it to ya. Rapalas aren't cheap, nor rods for that matter. Gunna have to teach you how to fish one day.Thanks again, cheers, BobbyB.
I could definitely use a few tips on the fishing side of things 🤦🏽🤣
I brought more of a trout rod, but shorter and a lot lighter, so it was a blessing.
Definitely worth the drive in, just don’t take the wrong turn, but in saying that it looked like a good fishing spot.
Cheers BobbyB 👍🏼
A long time ago, someone wrote a song, and it is called "one of those days."
I think this applies to you.
When everything goes wrong
Yeah, I didn’t have much luck there for a while, but I wasn’t going to let that dampen my spirits. I was still out doing what I enjoy, couldn’t ask for much more really.
Thanks for watching Pete. 👍🏼
Love how you can laugh at your own disasters Gav, watching you cracking up is just hilarious as I know we have all been there and done that too! Thanks for uploading this episode, Gungarlin is such a special place and definitely a bit out of the way, glad you have the Zoleo as it can be a bit snakey out there in the summer and it's a bit of mission to get there going down past the old school house!
PS If you care to share how you got your nickname, that would be very insightful! 😷
Let’s see… Krusty, had it since the Simpson started some 30 years ago, then sideshow bob was introduced and some mates tried to change it to Sideshow but Krusty had stuck.
Up in QLD I’m known as Krusty not Gavin, but down in Vic not so.
So nothing to do with my undies. 👍🏼
If you don’t laugh Lee you will cry.
I was just happy to be out and about 4wding and camping after 14 days straight at the Snowy 2.0.
You guys shouldn’t have to listen to me whinge and carry on if things don’t work out. I’m here for your entertainment.
Yeah, it’s a nice camp ground, beautiful creek with heaps of trout apparently 🤦🏽🤣 Tim Bates needed to cut his cooking segments a bit shorter and go for a walk to Davey’s Hut instead. 🤷🏼
I should carry the Zoleo more often when I’m walking into places, but honestly… I don’t even know how to work it !🤦🏽
Hope your well Lee, thanks for the support.
@aguyandhistroopy lol l hadn't given your undies a thought hahaha was thinking more about temperament lol!
I have the nickname of Freaky since l was 10yo, long story but only intimate friends and family still call me that especially in Euroa as it was my name all during my high school years in the early 70s lol 😆 yep it's funny as, only been back in town 3yrs and l still hear old mates yelling out my name in the main St...it stuck and l won't even mention Anzac Day lol Cheers Krusty!
@aguyandhistroopy yep l get it, been a fuck up all my life but certainly laughter is the best medicine. Got me through life in the most difficult of times. Gav keep smiling, your smile is infectious!
@@Lee-astrololee my real nickname from when I was a kid was Frog, as mum couldn’t drive past a corner store without buying me a Freddo Frog. Still have family members calling me it. 👍🏼
I love nicknames, it’s the easiest way to remember people hey Freaky 👍🏼🤣
Another awesome video cheers, mate.great spot.
Thanks Jamie, it’s a great spot and if your into your trout fishing apparently it’s a cracking spot to land a few, just not for this fella. 🤦🏽
keep the videos coming mate. only new your channel. but loving it. being a Bombala boy and lived in Cooma for 7 years Im loving the videos. my wife's sister owns The Pitt in lakes entrance and Nicks Thai restaurant. should check them out mate if you haven't already.
@@79mundra just pasted through Bombala for easy on my way to Errinundra to do the Old Growth Forest walk.
I lived in Bombala back in the mid 70’s, Nimmitebell and Bendoc before that !
Will do, don’t go to Lakes often.
Thanks for supporting the channel.👍🏼
Looking forward to the Gavin - Robbie Alexander training sessions 🤣🤣😂😂
Might have to enlighten me on who Robbie Alexander is? 🤷🏼
I’m guessing a YT fisherman for me to work on my casting technique? 🤦🏽
@@aguyandhistroopy RUclips is deleting all my posts - third try - search for Robbiefishing.
I didn’t you had one cast! Wasn’t on film…..I just think you put the rods back in their rack on put your feet up! Hahaha! 👍
I wish that was the case Chris.
But now I have a couple of smaller and lighter rods more suitable for trout fishing in the smaller rivers… but in saying that I’m still to catch one. 🤦🏽
Cheers for watching mate. 👍🏼
There is also a old csiro hut that was used for rabbit research on your way down there mate. Keep an eye out for overgrown tracks….
Yeah ok, before the NP gates ?
I hear there is Cessjacks Hut up past the first river crossing I got to.
Cheers for watching and giving me the heads up. 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy yeah before the nps gate at the river. Been a couple of years since I have been down there so sorry for the vague directions but on your way to the campgrounds there is an overgrown track to the right, on the lower side of the road as you head up hill at approximately 110 degrees to a 90 degree corner. Only a hundred meters or so down the track towards the powerlines you will find the hut
Also known as rabbiters hut.
@@tedcain9577 I done a bit of research on it. Not much in the way of directions for it. I appreciate the info you have given me, will be a while before I get there now with seasonal closures etc.
Cheers Ted
Great to see a bit of research on the hut! They are pretty impressive.
I’m glad I walked in to it, think a lot of people don’t actually know it’s there.
Reckon you have to hand it to the old timers, they would have done it hard, but they wouldn’t have complained like we do these days.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Hey mate. One of my friends from the Newcastle area told me about your videos. I am enjoying watching them. Looks like a great spot. Do you come in on Nimmo road?
@@sampeaches100 thanks for watching mate and make sure you thank your friend for me. 👍🏼🤣
Yeah, Nimmo Rd and onto Island Bend Firetrail from memory. Just make sure you keep following the transmission lines.
It’s a good spot, meant to be some good trout fishing… well apparently! 🤦🏽🤷🏼
Another good one mate. You running a fridge or just eski ? Cheers
Normally run fridges but they had been playing up, so I was running esky’s for this trip while I was purchasing a new fridge.
I always like a bit of ice for the whiskey, so a esky is always handy. 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy yeah mate I have my fridge . But run small eski with ice also , can’t beat beers off ice . 👌🏽
@@BS21BS21 I use a yeti rambler 1 gallon for my ice for my whiskey, I make small blocks in the freezer at home, they last 5 plus day.
Funny How the Best Spots are Found when We Get Lost.........That's Probably a Really Good Spot (at the Farmers Bridge) to try and Catch a Fish (Lack of Tourists).
I have a habit of getting lost, I don’t normally do enough research.
Yeah, it had a ladder over the farmers fence, I should have fished there as no trees around! 🤦🏽🤣
You forgot the Z in the name of the park mate :)
Yeah so I did. I reckon it’s auto spell check thing. Always drops the Z 🤦🏽. Well on my iPhone anyway.
Hope Florence is moving again big fella 🎉
Mmmmm. Not sure🤷🏼… I reckon it would have to be close by now.
I'd love to watch this with the young tacker. But after the 3rd f bomb I had to say maybe we watch uncle Krusty when you're a bit older 😅
Sorry about that mate, I try to avoid it but it’s just apart of my vocabulary. I always edit out anything worse than the Fbomb.
Hopefully you’ll be back one day soon tuning into Uncle Krusty again. 🤷🏼
@aguyandhistroopy all good Krusty. I've still been loving your content and then watch the PG stuff again with the little tacker.
Hey, good stuff. What is that toilet roll holder that you used in the vid? Looks interesting.
It’s called a ‘ Dunny Buddy ‘ it’s handy if ya going bush to do a shit, protects the roll and you can put it on the ground.
There is one for paper towel called a ‘ Paper Pod ‘ I don’t think it’s as good. They are a little pricey, but they work. 👍🏼
Cheers for watching Andy. 🍻
Hey Krusty more quality brain farts mate. I love you’re work mate. At least you’re videos are honest, real content. This shite happens to me all the time.
Thanks Jim, I could have done with not snapping the rod, but it is what it is. It’s just life, no one perfect and I’m definitely far from it. 🤦🏽🤣
Appreciate you tuning and a leaving a comment 👍🏼
Out in the bush getting on the beers (Dosnt get any better than this) what's that saying , the worst day fishing is better than -----
That’s it Dave. Why I wasn’t worried about all the bad luck that I was having, I’d just finished my 14 day swing at Snowy 2.0 and I was just happy to be out in the bush 4wding and camping. ( I won’t say fishing 🤦🏽 )
Thanks for tuning in.👍🏼
Bad news about the fishing! Maybe have a crack at fly fishing .... less hassles with expensive lures ...
It’s always bad news for me Glenn🤦🏽
I have been thinking of getting a cheap fly set up to tell the truth.
Might as well give it a crack, just looks a bit complicated for me. 🤷🏼
Cheers for watching and dropping a comment. 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy don't go too cheap... you'll be upgrading ... mid range will do the job for many years.... then you'll be tying your own flies.... 5 weight rod and line good all rounder ...
@@GlennPayne-z5x I’ll check them out. My uncle is trying to get me into the fly fishing.
You must be the only person to trust a Toyota Handbrake. I lost count of how many times my 80 series handbrake was adjusted. The first time going through any sort of mud and The shitty thing was back to normal
Funny that, I’ve never had an issue. Always just pull up and slam it on, guess I’ve been lucky, but it’s regularly adjusted. Its is the rear drums style of handbrake, think that are better then the newer styles.
Cheers for watching Darren, and for the comment. 👍🏼
I have watched a few RUclips clips on this place. It looks like a great spot although you may have thought a bit differently living in Davey’s hut in the dead of winter. Bad luck about the rod and lures. You are a tackle shop’s dream. It looked pretty mild. How long back did you film this if you don’t mind me asking. Once again a great production. Enjoyed the footage of the drive in.
Hey mate, this was filmed in late Late November, it was when I filmed my stepping back from RUclips episode. It would have been bloody cold and a long horse ride to get supplies.
Shit happens with the broke rod, now I have a couple more suitable for trout fishing but they still not helping me ! 🤦🏽
Cheers for watching 🍻
