Love your work, I would like to speak to you directly concerning your experiences with PJ Offroad, would you mind emailing me your mobile number to email address, jedisuede@gmail.com my name is Steve.
Good stuff as always Stefan, Ngkala Rocks is a total pain on most days after 8-9am as there's almost always someone stuck with rock solid tyres & a shoddy recovery with multiple people filming it going on. It always amazes me that most remote areas that are fairly well managed don't follow the Simpson Desert lead by specifying a common UHF channel. All it would take is a notice on the barges as you're a captive audience for a few minutes. Won't help the backpacker self drive tours unless they start providing UHF, but most never make it to the big choke points anyway (we did many moons ago & thankfully it was pretty empty back then when we initiated a 7 man scrum recovery around Ngkala 😃 )
Great video Stefan, thanks for sharing your passion and insight of this place!! Would love to hear about the engineering certification process of the 100series, and how you arrived at best rim offset!!
thanks Stephan, to over crowded now for my liking, maybe one day i will go back but for now, too many other places to discover without the rowdy crowds.
I hear you, unfortunately this experience is one of a kind and the crowds won’t get less. I discovered if you get up early you can have a few hours of solitude even on the otherwise busy places ..but I also prefer isolated places we have to ourself
Awesome series, really enjoyed all 3 episodes eso 1 as I haven’t seen before another video that showed that side of the island and history and that was pretty cool, cheers for a making that effort. Loved that dingo, cheeky bugga ran off with my thong haha, they really are confident little buggers aren’t they. Love seeing the LC doing its thing too. Cheers
Fraser has three types of lakes - perched, barraged and window. The fresh water flows from the GAB and PNG, underground. The data says that most of the fresh water flow is from PNG. If there was no Fraser to catch the sand, the GBF would not exist. Satinay trees are unique to Fraser (the shipped timber) prized for their impervious nature to wood bugs and sea worm - hence the berthing pylons, decades ago.
Awesome Video. Heading to Fraser in January with some family from the UK and Australia. I'll share this vid as we'll be visiting most of the spots you've show cased in this episode. Love your work. I'll have to see if my Drone footage will be half as good as your.
good point mate, but a sand flag is not required or recommended on Fraser as there are very few Dunes you can drive. theoretically, it would be great on the inland tracks however due to the foliage and trees there is no way you could run a sand flag it would be taken off by the trees within the first minute. A Sandflag is used for open dune and Desert driving.
@@AlloffroadAu Cheers for the reply. I was just saying, for when i lived there in 2000-1, we used to run sand flags merely for safety as they can usually be seen over most of the approach shrubbery and rocks. Loving your video's cobber. Cheers for sharing :)
thanks mate, yea I thought about it when we were on the island, it would certainly not hurt to have it attached on the beaches or stuff like Indian Head, Ngkala Rocks etc. especially with the backpackers driving... but if you constantly move between east and west coast becomes a bit effort to remove it every time you go inland.
Hey, what a nice Video and a lit of good infomation. I love Fraser Island.... Please tell me, are you from Europe? Your Englsih slang is not Aussie.... greetings from Germany Hamburg
Good videos well done. I noticed on your vehicle you have special panels instead of the glass window on the rear quarters. Can you tell me about them? I have an 80 series and that looks like easy access point. Thanks.
tyre pressure depends on quite a few factors like vehicle weight, rim size, tyre construction and terrain I run anywhere between 15-10 PSI on sand on rock with 37" and beadlocks I run 10 PSI and onroad I run 45PSI warm
I hope you enjoy the final Part of our Fraser Island Adventure

yes quite surprising that there is no designated UHF channel for inland tracks and Ngkala Rocks it would make it quite a bit easier

Thanks for the additional info didn’t know about the Trees and that the water comes from PNG always good to learn new things
I never knew all that great information. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Another wonderful vid, Stefan! The music, drone footage and commentary. Quite a peaceful vid to watch after a long busy day. ⛱

GREAT video.
THANK You.
Glad you liked it!
Great information on a beautiful island mate,,, but where is your SAND FLAG?

Awesome video mate - great camera shots! Subscribed now 😁
Thank you very much....
@@AlloffroadAu your info/advice on tyre pressure is way,way,,off.
New to the channel. Loving it.
Thank you very much....

Yes mate I’m originally from Germany Cologne but I’m in Australia since 1995

Thank you, they are Emu Wing Gullwing windows
Don't know why the wouldn't errect a sign at Nagala Rocks stating UHF channel 🤦♂️ the line ups I've seen on socials in ridiculous
yes 100% wondering why that hasn't happened for years
???.crap..i have 35" tyres,17" rims,i run 10 psi sand,15 rocks.35 road..4t truck..f250.
tyre pressure depends on quite a few factors like vehicle weight, rim size, tyre construction and terrain I run anywhere between 15-10 PSI on sand on rock with 37" and beadlocks I run 10 PSI and onroad I run 45PSI warm
