If you Google functionality, you will find a picture of Tim. The steamer, the old mug, his brick layers trail lol, brilliant. Gods country mate, magic.
G'day Keith, Thanks mate. It was a really nice trip that one, camping at high elevation. Thanks mate for your reply and specially dropping in from France mate. It's great my videos are making their way over in France. Cheers Tim.
As soon as you first mentioned the serenity I remembered that scene from the movie the castle. Then you mentioned bonnie doon. Hilarious coincidence 😂 Another top video Batesy. Loved it as always.
Monday evening, new TB video on. Good times ahead, remote travelling for the eyes and mind. Thanks Tim, again the marvellous presenter of full spectrum Aussie beauty 💪🤘👍 ☀️🍀🌈
Tim Mate , I love that you show your simple cooking just to show people how simple it can be .And the trips and scenery you show us is amazing . The high country is a special place for me , and you bring back those precious memoirs to me .I remember when my father use to have a blanket for his 4x4 40 years ago. I use to laugh at him .. It does work ...so you found my grand fathers cup!!! Give me SPC Baked beans any day Cheers Mate Big Kev
G'day Kev, Thanks mate, simple camp cooking can still produce amazing meals. Cant beat campfire cooking. Yeah mate, the tarp over the bonnet sure does help, as your father showed you all those years ago. Mmm, i cant do baked beans at all mate. Not a fan at all. Lol Spag for me. Cheers Tim.
In the mountains again Tim, I'm envious. A beautiful location with that stream. Ideal for flicking a fly rod, teasing those little Brook trout. Catch & release up there.
@@timbates4wdadventures Hi Tim for over 60 years I been camping I still love it if the Vic lock down over next month I spend a week or so up at Grant and if I'm very lucky with some snow.
@@JimMcNabb44 yeah mate, let’s hope it’s only for a week with this current lock down. Grant is a great spot. Heaps of history around that area from the gold days.
Gday mate, Yeah it goes to show that you don’t need all of the latest camping gear to get out in the bush. The simple ways I find so much more enjoyable when I’m out camping. Thanks a lot for your feedback. Cheers Tim.
Love your videos mate . You’ve inspired me to get out and enjoy nature the way you . Keep them video coming plus I never knew Aussie is as beautiful as New Zealand 😅
Thank you so much for your reply and feedback. Australia is a beautiful country to tour around. I’ve never been to New Zealand, buts it’s on my list. I’d love to do a hiking tour holiday and see the amazing mountains and rivers. Thanks again. Cheers Tim.
Hey Timmy, back from our van trip through western NSW & Victoria. Stayed a few days in Jamieson, panned for gold in the Goulburn, drove the Mt. Terrible track...great part of the country..
G'day mate, I make it look simple because my setup is. Just how i like it and there's nothing else i need to have a great camping trip. Thanks a lot for your feedback. Cheers Tim
Crackin! Video mate. I just got back from a 5 day trip up there. Got down to minus 7.9 on the first night and Minus 6.9 the second in the same spot. Love the High Country mate and every time I see your trips just makes me want get back out there. Cheers again for the video. DJ
Gday mate, It sure can get cold at night in the high country. This was a great trip, I’m looking forward to going back. Sounds like you had a great trip. Cheers Tim
G'day tim.... I've been slack on RUclips lately but it's time I've caught up.... great to see your videos are the first to come up. Can't wait to get up into the high country.... miss it so much. Cheers mate
G'day Mark, Thanks mate for catching up on a few videos. Heaps going on. This solo trip was a top trip. I hope you get a trip in soon into the high country. Thanks mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim.
OMG Tim. Eating steamed dimmos beside a tranquil high country stream takes it to the next level!! Superb location, so scenic and peaceful. What a great trip away. I loved the history behind your cup too - that is just awesome!
Gday mate, Haha those steamed dimmys were unreal. Top location in every way mate. Stunning high elevation camp spot beside a mountain river. Doesn’t get much better. The ol cup from Lake Bonnie Doon is gold. Lol Thanks for your reply. Cheers Tim
good video, I had totally forgotten about 'swinging the tea billy', my father always used to do it 40 years ago when we would go out camping. subscribed!
Gday mate, Swinging the billy tea around isn’t seen much these days. But, that’s how I learnt to make billy tea as well. Thanks mate for your reply and subscribing. Welcome to my channel. Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures no worries mate. Hoping to get down to the high country once again in not too distant future. For now am prepping for an epic Simmo and Central Aust trip at end of June.
Gday Chris, Sounds great mate if you get back in the high country some day. I’ve just had a mate offer to go on a July Simmo trip with his group. See how it all pans out. Thanks for your reply. Cheers Tim
Hi Tim, UK Paul here again mate. Great location and all to yourself again. Good to see the steamer and Jaffle doing their thing. Also noticed you are still using the separate boxes with the colored lids as apposed to the built in drawers. I was thinking of building drawers into the back of my Shogun but have changed my mind and am going to go the box route as well. Take care and thanks for another great vid. Cheers.
G'day Paul, Thanks mate for dropping in from the UK, hope all is well. Yeah i just love the storage boxes. So much better than the heavy drawers i had. I find they work really well mate. Thanks for your reply and good luck setting up your camp storage boxes. Cheers Tim.
G'day Wayne, Cant beat campfire cooking, just the best way to cook any meal mate. Thanks heaps for your feedback, it sure was a great spot. Cheers Tim.
You’re video got me inspired to get out , do some exploring and cook a few jaffles ( baked beans and cheese) As per your suggestions l made a list and menu, packed all my food in containers, organised my wood gather kit ,bombed up on paper & Digital maps . Headed off to the Brisbane Ranges and Lerderderg Park . Ticked all boxes ✅ and was having a cracking time. Decided to have a jaffle for smoko..... it was then l discovered that l had left the jaffle iron at home .😢😂
G'day David, Thats great you found the food packing video helpful. It sure does make life easier when out camping and finding the food you need for that meal. Ohhhh no, left the jaffle iron at home. Lol Thats no good at all mate. Mine lives in my camp box, so i cant forget it. Lol Thanks a lot for your feedback. Cheers Tim.
Amazing spot mate, beautiful mountain stream, see any stags up there be a few around that area! Good to see you have the PLB strapped to the hip! Safety first!😁🇦🇺👍🏻
Mate, it's a top spot beside that river. I didn't see any. But plenty of signs they are around. Yeah, i carry my PLB every where i go when im out on my own. Thanks for your reply mate. Cheers Tim
Magnificent location Bates. Great video, really appreciate the effort you go to to set the shots up and edit it all together. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers.
Love your content. Just done two of your recipes here camping on NSW mid north coast. They were awesome. Also, love you general camping 4x4 tips and adventures 👍
@@timbates4wdadventures we did the lamb shanks and the chicken Parma. They were great, but I did burn a few of the chips on the Parma cook up as they fell to side of the trivet. May have had too much bottom heat.
Gday Robert, Yeah great spot mate and no one else around. You’d recon that stream would have trout in it. Just need to find some of the bigger holes. Cheers Tim.
Lovely video, Tim. It’s now in the high 30s in the UAE, I may camp this weekend but if I do it’ll certainly be the last one till at least October. I can live vicariously through your trips till then, I hope. Loved the steak - was a bit worried till around 13:40, but the garlic made its appearance in the end!
Gday Mate, High 30s sounds amazing lol We are no where near those temps for about another 5 months. You have a great trip this weekend if you head out. Yeah mate, the garlic always turns up somewhere. Lol. Thanks for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim
Hi timo that must take a lot of time doing all the camera work and looks like you are fit enough to do it that stake looks amazing and have you ever steamed dim sims in your invention that will be good to see great videos timo 💪🏼👍🏽👌🏼🇦🇺🍻☝🏼🥩
Gday Greg, Yeah it is a lot of work mate to film these solo videos on my own But, I really enjoy making them. Steamed dimmies mate. They were gold. Lol. Thanks a lot mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim
Great video Tim, the wife loved it she asked where is was i said hmm I don't know ?. Good to see what looked like a GME PLB on your side when you pulled up there Tim. I reckon a Drone would go good up there 😂 Take care look forward to the next video 🤗 Rgs Wayne.
Gday Wayne, Thanks mate. I’m glad to hear you both enjoyed this video trip. Great spot mate. It was a PLB mate, I always carry it when I’m out on my own. Safety is key. A drone would have been great for that camp spot. Lol Thanks again mate for your reply. Cheers Tim
I know that spot. It's a beauty. Many years ago with my late mate, we were going to land a chopper there and fish. But the altitude was a bit dicey for the little bird and we might not of had enough lift once out of transition, so we continued over and down into the Wonnangatta. Great video Tim!
G'day Damian, It would be a great spot to spend a few days walking that river to see what fishing holes can be found. Sounds like a great trip that you went on mate. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers Tim.
Awesome, Tim did the same last weekend at Tom Goggin dogman hut, solo 14 hours round trip the peace was magnificent the Murry river was a bit higher than of late
G'day Stephen, Mate, that would have been a great solo trip up on the Murray at Dog man Hut. Such a nice area if you can get it to your self. Thanks mate for your reply. Cheers Tim.
G'day Tim. Fairly new to your channel and look forward to the latest vids that come out. One thing i Really appreciate, you share the co ordinates, bloody awesome mate. Great tip with covering the bonnet as well mate. Safe travels Mate
G'day Rob, Welcome to my channel mate. I appreciate your feedback. I try and give as much helpful info so others can follow along. Thanks for your reply. Cheers Tim.
What a great video mate, your country is incredibly diverse. I cannot wait to do another high country trip once Australia opens its borders. Going to try a solo trip, I need to know what that feels like. Thank you for sharing.
Ahhh Gday Ian, I hope you're well mate and that you can get back over to Australia some day. Solo camping is an incredible experience, has to be tried out mate. Thanks mate for your reply and feedback. Cheers Tim.
Nothing like camping in the cold. Just magic mate, really enjoyed this episode, thanks. Also noticed you don’t mind spending some serious coin on a quality coffee mug. 😁 Onya Tim. Love ya work mate. 🍺
Well done Tim, been busy these last few months so have not seen up live on the tube but always catch up later, as usual you get me dreaming of doing another trip up in gods country:-)
G'day Perry, No worries mate. I hope you find some time for another trip down the track. The live chats are a lot of fun and thanks for watching them on catch up. Cheers Tim.
Good stuff Tim, gee whiz I'm keen for that. We have a trip coming from Dubbo in August for a 4 night high camping up Mt Terrible, McFarlane saddle etc, should be cold 👍
Nice one Tim! Did you happen to head down dingo hill track to the Caledonia? We went down there from the other end off howitt road a couple weekends ago down Caledonia river track, crikey that was hairy, would be no good in the wet. You can see the old track before they dozed in the new one (no thanks). Cheers!
I didnt on this trip as i was on my own. Heading away with a mate soon to cover that country, looking forward to heading down Dingo Hill on the switch backs. Thanks for your reply mate. Cheers Tim.
G'day Deane, I have a number of videos about how and why i mix my own fuel. A recent live a few weeks ago was all on that topic, if you would like to check those out. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers Tim.
G'day Jason, Its along Dingo Hill Track out of Licola. GPS points are in the description if that helps. Thanks mate for your reply, it's well worth checking out. Cheers Tim.
G'day Mike, Thanks mate for your feedback, it sure was a great trip and the campfire cooking was really good. Lol That cook set is hand made mate. Cheers Tim.
Great spot and video again Tim. Where were you that there was a armco in the background? No matter where you go in australia there is always plenty of creeks, and rivers.. I see you had what looked like the yowie epirb on your belt. 👍🏻
G'day John, It is just along Dingo Hill Track out from Licola. Top spot mate. Yeah, i carry my PLB every where i go when im out on my own. Thanks for your reply mate. Cheers Tim
Gday mate, Thanks mate, it was a top trip. I had sliders on. I took them off a few months ago as part of reducing weight on the Patrol. Thanks for your reply mate. Cheers Tim
Hey Tim, Awesome video .. love that spot and your camping meals are amazing. Thinking of visiting - what month of the year was your trip as the stream water level and snow spread looks perfect!. Thnx again and keep up the great videos. Cheers, JT.
Gday JT, I think I camped at that spot around April a couple of years ago. That spot will be seasonally closed after Queens Birthday weekend. It’s such a nice spot to kick back for a few days and cook up a few meals on the campfire. Thanks mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim
Yet another amazing, soul satisfying video Tim, thank you. Also really appreciate you providing coords to what could easily be a secret spot! Hope to get there one day. Do you ever find your fave spots like this already occupied and you need to change plans?
G'day Greg, Mate, this is a wicked spot to camp. It's closed now during winter seasonal track closures. No worries on the coords mate, i sure don't make videos to keep the locations secret. My videos are all about helping people to get out and enjoy the Aussie bush. Really i have to change my plans on a location mate. Just lucky it works out that way. Thanks mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim

High elevation camping is pretty special.

Yeah the low country is totally different from what you get up top.
Stunning camp spot that one.

That’s great.
I like hearing replies like that.
Heaps of stunning country to see.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Top spot Tim great food and not a traffic jam in site.
I wonder if there's trout in the stream.
Gday Robert,
Yeah great spot mate and no one else around.
You’d recon that stream would have trout in it.
Just need to find some of the bigger holes.
Cheers Tim.
What a great spot with the creek, as always a very enjoyable video mate.
Thanks mate.
It was a great camp spot for a few days.
Cheers Tim
Nice spot Timbo! cheers Steve

Batsey only problem iv got mate is you must drink weak tea. Throw some bloody leaves in there mate. 😂
Gday Luke,
Plenty strong enough brew for how I like it. Lol
Cheers Tim
Lovely video, Tim. It’s now in the high 30s in the UAE, I may camp this weekend but if I do it’ll certainly be the last one till at least October. I can live vicariously through your trips till then, I hope. Loved the steak - was a bit worried till around 13:40, but the garlic made its appearance in the end!
Gday Mate,
High 30s sounds amazing lol
We are no where near those temps for about another 5 months.
You have a great trip this weekend if you head out.
Yeah mate, the garlic always turns up somewhere. Lol.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
Great video Tim, the wife loved it she asked where is was i said hmm I don't know ?.
Good to see what looked like a GME PLB on your side when you pulled up there Tim.

Wayne.
Gday Wayne,
Thanks mate. I’m glad to hear you both enjoyed this video trip.
Great spot mate.
It was a PLB mate, I always carry it when I’m out on my own.

Thanks again mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim

@@Wayne-Pr
Sure do mate. Lol
Always enjoyable! :)
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim
I know that spot. It's a beauty. Many years ago with my late mate, we were going to land a chopper there and fish. But the altitude was a bit dicey for the little bird and we might not of had enough lift once out of transition, so we continued over and down into the Wonnangatta. Great video Tim!
G'day Damian,
It would be a great spot to spend a few days walking that river to see what fishing holes can be found.
Sounds like a great trip that you went on mate.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
You're a machine Timmo. That jaffle would've been 300 degrees! Another great video mate.
Gday Paul,
Haha lol
It was pretty hot mate, but it went down a treat. Lol
Thanks for your reply
Cheers Tim

What a great video mate, your country is incredibly diverse. I cannot wait to do another high country trip once Australia opens its borders. Going to try a solo trip, I need to know what that feels like. Thank you for sharing.
Ahhh Gday Ian,
I hope you're well mate and that you can get back over to Australia some day.
Solo camping is an incredible experience, has to be tried out mate.
Thanks mate for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Nothing like camping in the cold. Just magic mate, really enjoyed this episode, thanks. Also noticed you don’t mind spending some serious coin on a quality coffee mug. 😁
Onya Tim. Love ya work mate. 🍺
Gday Darren,
High elevation camping during winter is the best.
It was a great spot.

Cheers Tim.
If you're near Bonnie Doon and keen on a bit of 4x4 let me know, can show you a few waterfalls and snowy mountain tracks in the area.

Nice one Tim! Did you happen to head down dingo hill track to the Caledonia? We went down there from the other end off howitt road a couple weekends ago down Caledonia river track, crikey that was hairy, would be no good in the wet. You can see the old track before they dozed in the new one (no thanks).
Cheers!
I didnt on this trip as i was on my own.
Heading away with a mate soon to cover that country, looking forward to heading down Dingo Hill on the switch backs.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
I reckon the cover would be good on the windscreen too 👍
Yeah mate, it would help if it was a cold morning.
Cheers Tim.
A few steamed dimys would be the go I reckon nice little steamer. Think I need to invest in one.:)
Gday mate,
That steamer works a treat. Lol.
Cheers Tim.
Another top spot for a camp Tim. How about telling us about your own alpine fuel brew. Thanks.
G'day Deane,

Hey Tim, as usual no disappointment with your content 👍 definitely need some sliders, hopefully Santa brings a set this year 🍻
Gday mate,
Thanks mate, it was a top trip.
I had sliders on.
I took them off a few months ago as part of reducing weight on the Patrol.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim
Thanks Tim 👍
No worries at all mate.
Cheers Tim
Hey Tim, Awesome video .. love that spot and your camping meals are amazing. Thinking of visiting - what month of the year was your trip as the stream water level and snow spread looks perfect!. Thnx again and keep up the great videos. Cheers, JT.
Gday JT,
I think I camped at that spot around April a couple of years ago.
That spot will be seasonally closed after Queens Birthday weekend.
It’s such a nice spot to kick back for a few days and cook up a few meals on the campfire.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
@@timbates4wdadventures Awesome!.. Thnx heaps - Appreciate your prompt reply. Look forward to more of your content. JT.
@@johnnyt2695 thanks heaps mate.
Just getting over a leg injury and then I’ll be back making videos.
@@timbates4wdadventures Cool..look forward to it. A speedy recovery mate, hope all is well. JT
@@johnnyt2695 thanks a lot mate.
awesome video batesy! Looks like the spot along Dingo Hill where you camped ?
Ripper video :)
G'day mate,
That is the spot mate. Wicked camp spot for a few days.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
Yet another amazing, soul satisfying video Tim, thank you. Also really appreciate you providing coords to what could easily be a secret spot! Hope to get there one day. Do you ever find your fave spots like this already occupied and you need to change plans?
G'day Greg,
Mate, this is a wicked spot to camp. It's closed now during winter seasonal track closures.
No worries on the coords mate, i sure don't make videos to keep the locations secret.
My videos are all about helping people to get out and enjoy the Aussie bush.
Really i have to change my plans on a location mate. Just lucky it works out that way.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
