Man oh man, this is what life should be about. Australia never ceases to amaze me at the sheer beauty of the place. I can only describe it as Gods own playground. There are times I sit looking out the window here in dreary old England wishing I had such freedoms to be at one with the wildness. Epic video Scotty, you certainly know how to pick the best places. Happy Birthday mate 🎉Thanks as always for taking us along with you. All the best Andy
Hey Scotty. From an old fart, who bought a telescoping rod in 1975, which I still use btw, I learned to 'screw' each section into the next, and to 'unscrew' each section to take it down. It's all old trick from Field and Stream magazine from years ago. It creates a rifled grove over time, which holds the section from getting loose with use. So, you line the eye of the section above one quarter turn counterclockwise, pull it up to stretch it out, give it a quarter turn clockwise, as you snug it tight, then repeat for the next section, one quarter turn counterclockwise sideways, snug, twist one quarter turn clockwise to align with the bottom eye, as you tighten, and so on. Your rod will last longer in gripping each section. The reverse is done for takedown. Hope this is useful.
That is some of the most amazing scenery I have ever seen, just magnificent views everywhere you look. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us all and Happy Birthday Scotty. Cheers🍻
The inland Victoria cicada tends to be a small three centimetre almost black variety. I encountered them years ago on the Upper Buffalo river, they sang from dawn to about 2230.
Recommend ghee or clarified butter which will go in a small plastic container,awsome for your cooking and good in most conditions…melt 500gms butter in pot then tip into jug and cool in fridge,then pop a small hole in hard surface on top and pour liquid into your container,throw what’s left and👌great vid mate and happy birthday👍🎂🍺
Awesome video , you 2 young chaps film so good together what a fantastic duo . Scotty you being a bit more on the serious side where as Silly Swagman a bit more of the comedian , yet both love and respect the enviroment with absolute passion ! Well done Gentlemen 😍💞👋👋
This has to be one of your best. Just brought back so many memories of the Snowy River, hiking to Kosciuszko, surviving a blizzard at Lake Albina and taking my sons into one of my favourite locations. If I had the opportunity it's a trip I would certainly want to do. Australia is certainly gods own country. Enjoy your work.
Fantastic film and great to watch over the Australia Day weekend. Thanks for this - my outdoor adventuring is over but your adventures take me back every time !
Great video Scotty, always a fun one to watch when You and Mattsy team up. Awesome scenery. Happy birthday mate ! I'm 43 this year, cherish your 30's mate 40 comes around fast after 35. cheers for the work you put into these Videos.
Great to see The Kelly Gang together & happy birthday Scotty. Snowy River is as beautiful as it is legendary. Having fun & be one with mother nature. What could be better.! Thank you for sharing.
LOVED THIS!!!!! So good to see Matsy again 😊 you two are the perfect duo. I was so sad when this ended, what a beautiful part of Australia - thank you for sharing this with the world 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Fantastic film Scotty, it takes me back to when I paddled the Snowy in the 1980s! in Olymp 75’s(fibreglass kayaks) neoprene spray decks, wooden paddles, and using our shellite stoves to Cook on a wok. Thanks for showing us on film the places I just relied on my memory to recall. Cheers. Great stuff! Happy birthday too!
@@zedman8720 Much less chance of hitting rocks in the Olymp. Plenty of storage (including the fibreglass repair kit), good enough for eight days from my experience.
Sneaky fart at 1:48. ;p In all seriousness. Amazing video mate. One of your best! Happy Birthday. 40 isn’t that scary mate. It’s pretty awesome when you end up reaching it.
Thanks for the memories. I was part of the willow eradication program for the Snowy River for 10 odd years I've walked kayaked and even had helicopter drops in to parts of were you guys explored. We would spend 10 days in and go home for 4. From Jindy all the way down. Was one of best times of my life exploring this amazing water way. River now looks amazing with no willow trees choking up the system. Thanks again for the memories and tosee the river and the work we done has done wonders to the river 😊
An awesome adventure, great watching you two have so much fun together. You are both looking nice and relaxed in your pack rafts, I’m sure you have already mapped some new rivers, thanks for sharing and as always the production was first class, the lack aerial images didn’t detract from the over all viewing experience in my opinion. So good 💪💪
Mate you vids are epic! I too am mid 30's and had some adventures like this in South Africa and New Zealand. Only been living in Aus for about 3 years but would love to do more exploring. Keep em coming Scotty!
Happy birthday Scotty! Great that you did this epic adventure with your good mate Mattsy that you can banter with loved it. You're lucky with the no crocs down there. We definitely got to choose our NQ water way wisely.
Phwoar mate, what a cracking video!! Epic adventure for a couple of good mates!! That scenery is stunning. And your telling of the story was excellent, as usual. The reading from The Man from Snowy River at the end made me a little teary too. Thanks so much for sharing mate!!
Yeah Scotty, that looked epic and was lovely to watch. You guys look like great mates and both able to really enjoy the moment, nature and life. Loved it! Thanks for sharing 😊
Hppy Birthday Scotty😀 Its great to see you Scotty and Mattsy back on yet another adventure enjoying what nature offers living life in the great outdoors.
Absolutely nailed it. What an adventure. We live in a beautiful country. Thanks for showing us some of the Snowy River. I get out my Banjo Paterson poem book and read that poem again. 😅😊😊

Personally I reckon this is hands down your best video. You two are a great team bouncing off each other. Oh and Happy Birthday mate!
Totally agree. It was like a production film 👌🏻😊
You, Mattsy and the Bearded Bushranger, the three musketeers. My favourite RUclipsrs. Happy Birthday Scotty. God bless you and your family
Throw Beau Miles in there... That would be hilarious
When Scotty and Mattsy get together -... Things happen 👌
Epic stuff lads 🍻
Actual chills when you read the poem, don’t think I’ve heard that in years. Awesome video mate and a happy 37th. Keep living the dream 🤙
That was a great pack raft trip, and with a good friend. Happy belated birthday, young man. You have decades of more time for these adventures.
Always love a Scotty and Mattsy Collab. Legends
Scotty…what a great hour to spend with you mate!! This is such a classic…great scenery great music great edits! Always nice to see Silly 🤪 as well 😉

Much easier in an Olymp 75 Than a rubber raft thing.
@ unfortunately not as much storage though! And not as forgiving in bumping rocks in the rapids. Haha
@@zedman8720 Much less chance of hitting rocks in the Olymp. Plenty of storage (including the fibreglass repair kit), good enough for eight days from my experience.
As usual Scotty, loved your video. Always entertaining & Informative. Keep it up. (Fellow Aussie)
HBD Scotty! Shout out to Mattsy. Yet another epic vid.
One of ya best. Well done. What a magnificent country we live in. 😊
What a top video. We thoroughly enjoyed it and the poem you read at the end just topped it off. Great work 😊
That was stunning! So much to be grateful for. Great team work 👏
Mesmerised. Yeah totally mesmerised. Good job Scottie>

Sneaky fart at 1:48. ;p
In all seriousness. Amazing video mate. One of your best!
Happy Birthday. 40 isn’t that scary mate. It’s pretty awesome when you end up reaching it.
