As a Perth boy, traveled down to Dwellingup area many times with mates, great memories - but I don't ever remember that much water, very much the opposite! Now I'm over east, got my own Patrol and explore the southern highland forests and reserves. Great channel mate, subscribed.
I’m quite the same mate! After many years of exploring and visiting the area, I’ve never seen it so full. It’s a real treat. Appreciate your comment and your support mate, thank you very much.
No crap mate, it's crazy. Was at muddy landing a couple weeks ago and the water was at the 1.6m mark above the concrete bridge at night. Then in the morning it was above the 2m and above the depth sign. We were camped down at muddy flat and the water kept rising so had to camp near the road at the entrance to the track! The fire we had the previous night was covered in water. Insane!
I love Dwellingup and Lane Poole. Thanks Matt for sharing these awesome sights with us. I've never seen that much water there. Went to Bells Rapids a few weeks ago and it was much the same. Gotta love the rain to replenish the land! 👍
As a Canadian, the concept of the bush coming to life in winter is utterly alien, but beyond appealing, especially given how long our winters tend to be. Still hoping to make it to your gorgeous, eternal summer home once this covid bs finally settles!
Yeah mate our Aussie climates and flora rely on our big wets, it’s a beautiful thing! I hope to see you make it over! COVID has well and truly killed the party for long enough now.
Was on that very road, and at that very spot last weekend. Have some fantastic footage of the river like I have never seen. Its mother nature at its finest! Another great vid mate.
Just got a new sub ! Good video mate, and totally agree about the fees we have to pay and the lack of road maintenance is getting done. Past the easy nomad spots !
I loved this so much! We once rode 9.7km down a flooded creek just like that in inner tubes, probably the stupidest thing I've ever done. Seeing this stuff in full swing is just amazing, head back in a few weeks and you'll get to see how high all the debris got.
Mate, that would’ve been sooo much fun! Yeah man from what I’ve seen it’s already dropped around a meter in just the last week! I’ll get back soon and see it.
It's hard to describe. But it's so easy to tell your passion for being in the bush from the way you speak mate. It's like your heart is talking. One day I'll make a trek from Melbourne and visit that glorious region and flip a steak every 6 seconds over Jarrah. Good on ya Matt.
Thanks mate, that’s great to hear I appreciate it very much 🙏🏻 I hope you can make it over and see these beautiful forests, you’ll enjoy that steak I promise you that 🤤😜
Wow I understand the feeling!! The Avon River has broken its banks also because of the rain in July and I am looking forward to going and having a look in the coming weeks. I have a connection to it because I lived there most of my life
Great video buddy, absolutely amazing the amount of water this winter, the council spent all its bloody money on the painting at the dam so none left to look after the roads 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Having seen the 2011-13 floods in SEQ up close. I share your, I guess feeling of awe, it's amazing to see so much water flowing in the rivers. Knowing what they normally look like
I live in the bush, in a place lots like this but in the USA.( THEY CHARGE YOU MONEY to visit theses places! Wow) About every few years in the winter or spring time, we also have flooding just like this. Have to do some crazy navigating to get around during them times. I'm a bit like you, i always love to get out and see it and explore around. as always good video mate!! yall be safe.
I've noticed that many of the names over there in WA end in 'UP', maybe you could educate us east coast lads in a vid about this, maybe even other indigenous WA things. Your passion for history and your story telling don't got unnoticed.
Great vid, cheers for sharing, even North mole is a bit special at the moment, the river shitty browns are taking up massive area at the mouth of the harbour
Yeah beauty Matt, thanks for the show... can you recommend a good camp spot that isn't flooded so as to see the river. Two weeks and I'll be there. Cheers
Thanks mate. There are a few options for you, there is Nanga Campsite, which is “first in best spot” camping. And then there are some sites that you book, being Charlie’s Flats, Tony’s Bend and Yaragil. They can be quite hard to book as they get busy though. And there is also Baden Powell which is nice large newish site. Well worth jumping on the DPAW website and type in these spots for a look.
I feel your anger with road maintenance... same here in NSW.. too many overpaid shiny arses in charge.. National Parks have a clear agenda to keep people out. Tracks locked out, roads unmaintained, lack of facilities & ridiculous fees.
Had floods there in the 80s when i was a teen. My family out yhat way n Boddington
thank you for share very video in Western Australia as one in eastern Australia call Murray River

We made it up to Bells Rapids earlier this week, what a treat to see! It’s great isn’t it! Thanks for your comment mate!
that first person view driving was neat!
That's an impressive amount of water, great to see. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks for the comment mate.
You're welcome mate

@@westralianoffroad I'm definitely looking forward to experiencing a winter that doesn't hurt my face, & won't kill me within 5 minutes! haha
Awesome video Matt and what a sight to see. This is why we get out there. Once in a lifetime and I’m glad you saw it mate in all its spectacular glory
Thanks mate! It is what we get out there for, I couldn’t agree more. Who would know when the next time we see this happen might be!
Was on that very road, and at that very spot last weekend.
Have some fantastic footage of the river like I have never seen.
Its mother nature at its finest!
Another great vid mate.
Awesome mate! Who knows when the next chance to see it like this again will be!
Appreciate the comment 🙏🏻
Wow I've never seen those rapids looking so wild!
Yeah mate I was stunned!

Thanks very much man, appreciate it a lot. It was a nice day out.

Good video mate, and totally agree about the fees we have to pay and the lack of road maintenance is getting done. Past the easy nomad spots !
Thanks for your support and your comment mate! Appreciate it very much!
Was down there Thursday the river is absolutely pumping so impressive never seen it so high. Agree with your comments on the the road it was horrible
Lovely mate! Yeah it’s a sad state out there - astonishing.
I loved this so much!

@@westralianoffroad Do you have to pay everytime to drive around all those places?
Love Lane poole! great driving tracks.. sadly always too busy for camping though :(

Great video, Matt. I love going out and seeing the power of nature. That water is unstoppable.
Ol’ Gus sounds pretty good!
Thanks mate!

Thanks mate I appreciate the comment.
Keep up the good work mate
Roleystone had at least 400ml July & still raining🌧
That’s utterly phenomenal!

Yeah it’s a funny thing over here mate. Bizarre even. It was all about conservation. I question it these days.
Thanks mate appreciate it.
Love your videos 🤙keep them coming🤙
Thanks man! Great to hear 🙏🏻
Awsome video mate
Dwelling up is right near me too I need to go take a drive out there it’s been a while
You’ll be stoked!

Not a bad idea! And thanks man, that’s so nice to hear. I appreciate it very much mate.
@@westralianoffroad not a problem 👍
noongar for water
Great vid, cheers for sharing, even North mole is a bit special at the moment, the river shitty browns are taking up massive area at the mouth of the harbour
I can imagine mate!
Yeah beauty Matt, thanks for the show... can you recommend a good camp spot that isn't flooded so as to see the river. Two weeks and I'll be there. Cheers

I don’t know the river system there, but I can tell it’s bloody amazing, once in a lifetime. Enjoy
Very special mate! Thanks 🙏🏻
Matt don’t apologise for frothing over an event like this mate. We only see it a couple of times in our lives so thanks for sharing it mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate I agree! It’s a very special occasion - appreciate it mate!
Hell yeah, I just finished watching your last video like 5 minutes ago 😂
Perfect 🤠
How good are those gas cookers?! Iv got one and use it all the time
Amazing little things mate! Love it!
After this weeks rain it'll be even higher 🤔
Quite likely mate!
You needed your fire pit going & a light tune in the back ground as you sat down, river flowing behind you to : Waltzing Matilda...
I agree! That’s exactly what I needed! Real shame I couldn’t stay out for the night.
@@westralianoffroad As he sat, as he watched, as he waited for his billy to boil.. your living the dream mate..
Pinjarra is really flooded too aye
Absolutely going off!
Wow, when was that? Recently?
Yeah mate within the last 2 weeks. I’ve mentioned dates through the video.
should have posted a brfore and during footage at pinjarra bridge
I feel your anger with road maintenance... same here in NSW.. too many overpaid shiny arses in charge.. National Parks have a clear agenda to keep people out. Tracks locked out, roads unmaintained, lack of facilities & ridiculous fees.
Absolutely mate couldn’t agree more!!
Hit me up Matty! Im keen for a trip if misso cant make it!
