This saturday morning, 8/7/21, I watch Andrew's ausie travels for the third time. A fresh coffee, a fresh day, and an old friend, who doesn't even realize how much his work means to all of us. (i think he has an inkling, continue on Andrew and Kate)
It was my birthday today, I turned 66; so I treated myself to a day of sorting out my Overlanding Ram Truck for my September trip to northern New Mexico, USA while binging on Andrews travels. My only suggestion to Andrew is as we all age he, like me, needs to step up physical training so we both can keep doing these adventures!
I think this green Troopy is my favorite of the vehicle’s that you’ve owned. Amazing country, and a real treat to have your beautiful daughter along on the trail.
I'm subscribed to a couple of channels like Scotty Kilmer, John Cadogan (yep...), the Car Wizard, Carwow, and a few others...but the moment a new video from 4×overland appears in my feed, it goes right to the top of the list to be watched. 👋👍☺😎
I think I can say that this film is the best I've seen so far from anyone. I loved everything about it. It was also good to see the many folk who recognised Andrew on route. Until the next film... Cheers.
In this complicated world we're living in it's so nice that you've been able to spend time with your daughter Kate. What a beautiful place in landscape and an exceptional presentation as well. Sincerely Mike and Carolyn your friends from MC Ranch Overland.
Wonderful real life video beats polished TV documentaries. Congratulations, and this has brought home to me what overlanding is all about. There's a lot to it. The BIGGEST surprise and possibly the deal breaker is the cost. 2139 litres of diesel. That's around 3000 euros for fuel alone 😱😱😱. 14700 kms😲 big numbers. Your daughter brought a nice new dimension and I'm sure it'll be an experience she'll cherish 😍 looking back
42:10 I remember some of the TV adventurers in the 70s (Malcolm Douglas, Leyland Bros, etc) always recommended leaving the seat belt off in a river crossing in case a quick escape from the vehicle is needed. Although there was no depth in that water
Thank you very much Andrew for beautiful videos. Both for equipping troopies (I am a big fan of 70 series) and australian wilderness. I have been with you all through Australia for last couple of years and always wait for your next videos with great expectations and the those expectations are have always been over and over fullfilled!!! Good luck with your blue troopy build, I wish I could organize Mongolia trip with you🤠
Thanks … I enjoyed the journey and the story immensely. Part 1 & 2 in full… pleased to know your "love" of this amazing/diverse country as much as I and others do.
I always come back to these big overland videos, they truly are spectacular and it's a wonder that you haven't been featured on netflix or the like. BEAUTIFUL filming and plenty of things to learn, truly a pleasure to indulge in such peaceful videos, sipping my cup of tea, in my solitude that at times really makes me down, but sometimes you just have to learn to deal with it.
Wonderful, well spoken, enjoyable as always. Surprized you dont have a K&N elemrnt for that lovely piece of machinery. (Toyota Rules The World) Cheers.
Thanks again for the cool dirt road trip vid with your daughter. I would Just love to do that. Jump in my 99 4x4 Blazer this summer (with my buddy doggies) and drive out to somewhere and enjoy the open space & hang out in open skies while the full moon supply her rays of light. Sounds fun already haha.. can't wait. You guys be safe and enjoy your dirt trails.. oh... "Hi from Rio Rancho,NM."
Absolutely awesome 👏. It’s on my wish list. I have drove from U.K. to Gambia. Five times. And back once. Crossing the Sahara. But I would love to drive around your beautiful country. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Definitely gonna lie in bed with a big bag of Cheese Curls to watch this Andrew! I absolutely ❤ your desert travels. Your videos are such an inspiration.☺ Thank you 😎👋👍
Love what you do, I also travel quite extensively here in SA, based in Durban and I do once a year the N3 to N9, N1 to Cape Town and up Mosselbaai to Garden route back through the Eastern Cape back to Durban. I wish to do this off-road trip sometime and wish to meet you one day. Stay safe and halla if you are in Durban 🤝
10:22 Never seen a paddy melon in Australia before? That's surprising, they're everywhere in the Outback. Next time you're in NSW give me a hoi and I'll take you out Beyond the Black Stump and we'll find some more. Along with some nice rock climbing mate! Cheers, love your content!
I have flown over those deserts. I remember flying from Alice Springs-Coober Pedy-Ceduna and looking down at the apparently never ending dunes and being thankful I didn’t have to drive over them. Pretty though with puffs of green bushes against a red background. It was still rough air requiring tightening of the harnesses below 6000ft.
I'm just shocked right now this dessert is very similar to our land middle of Arabian peninsula at the 10:30 there's a plant we call it "hanthel" my ancestors used to have it as a medicine and you have to be very careful with it because if it water touch your eyes you may get blind and at the 11:40 the land is very similar to one we call it "sabkha" we extract salt from it till now! I have to recheck now is this Australia or is it Saudi Arabia
There no way I can afford to do a trip like this from uk but if I ever win lotto my first destination 4x4 Australia really enjoy videos I got a Toyota hiace campervan that I love
Love your content Andrew. My plan is to take my Safa wife on some trips around Aus. We pronounce it Meek•ah•th•ara the stronger the Ausi accent the better 😂
Love your videos have followed you forever always great content glad to see you have your daughter with you very nice I see you have down sized less is more 🙂.
If you do not have any inflammtory medication - make sure you always have Turmeric with you in your groceries. Use 1 x heaped teaspoon in a little bit of luke warm water. Mix and drink quickly.
The older we get the more breaks we need to take and that means days off. I simply can't drive anything like the distances I used to and I tire very quickly now. Keeping to a schedule is the one thing I avoid like the plague. It tends to ruin things because you can't relax and enjoy the trip.
Agree! I just went to Leon and back from Oviedo, N. Spain. A mountain route on tarmac, many hairpin bends and hard acceleration passing lumbering lorries! Massive concentration! I was shattered and went to bed early!! Now where are my glasses!!!
Have you ever been out to Mildura, or Lake Mungo and out to Ivanhoe and Cobar? It's very nice out there. The pink lakes and the country beyond are quite gorgeous. Very nice way to cross from say, Adelaide to the back of NSW.
I think your caluclation of L/100 is wrong. I make it 14.5 L/100. Thanks for including the data, though. It's hard to find real world overlanding figures for a fully laden Troopy. Anyway, a great film of a great trip. Let's make money by harvesting the flies and turning them into snacks!
I'm not anal about it, but I do pay attention to my consumption. The V8 responds very well to a light foot, and conversely very badly to a heavy one. I've also managed 16L/100 kms pushing it. I regularly got 14.5 with the Dream Tourer and that's 4 tonnes.
Only recently discovered your channel. Quite enjoying it. Watching random things and came across this aussie video. What i want to know. Who was enforcing the 40k zone out in the middle of no where? That is hilarious. 🤣
At 31.03 the rock looks like an Aboriginal's head on the side ( from the left to right the forehead, nose, lips and then chin) photos on the correct aerial angle look the same.
Good fun…thank you…great to see a Yarpie Anglophile in the Australian Outback…enjoyed your perspective…gives insight into the capacity of the indigenous people who have inhabited the joint for est 65000 years…
Showed this to my wife and as Yanks we had the impression the Dingo was either extinct or close to it. Am I confusing this with something else? Having so much fun tracking this trip on Google Earth.

3:42 you must have great audio gear Andrew! Someone dropped one:D What a brillaint trip, thatnks for taking us along mate.
25:04 🤣Absolutely HILARIOUS! Thank you, Andrew and Kate, for taking us along on this EPIC journey.
What a wonderful experience for Kate to do this trip with her dad, she will remember it foundly for the rest of her life.

Yep agreed. That Troopy is a beast !
Looks an awesome overlander

That shot of climbing out and all the coke bottles pouring out cracked me up. We have all had one of those moments on a big road trip.
I collected them all from the day I left Perth, waiting to tell that joke.
Wonderful real life video beats polished TV documentaries. Congratulations, and this has brought home to me what overlanding is all about. There's a lot to it.

Best 3 hours of viewing ever thanks 👍🏻🇮🇪☘️
Listning to this with head phones on and Some one defiantly farted at 3:42 😅
good video keep up the good work 👍
I have watched both part 1 and 2 of this brilliant documentary and have enjoyed every minute. And wow what a vehicle that Toyota Troopy is. Amazing 🙂
The bottle scene at the campsite was hilarious. Can be true of some people in the U.S.
Thank you very much Andrew for beautiful videos. Both for equipping troopies (I am a big fan of 70 series) and australian wilderness. I have been with you all through Australia for last couple of years and always wait for your next videos with great expectations and the those expectations are have always been over and over fullfilled!!!

This is compelling to get out and see the big country
Thanks … I enjoyed the journey and the story immensely. Part 1 & 2 in full… pleased to know your "love" of this amazing/diverse country as much as I and others do.
Again, an epic travel story turned into one master piece movie... Thank you for this Andrew

Those empty Coke bottles as you exit the driver's seat........................classic!!!🤣😄
Wonderful, well spoken, enjoyable as always. Surprized you dont have a K&N elemrnt for that lovely piece of machinery. (Toyota Rules The World) Cheers.
Andrew, this was extra ordinary...your Kate is so special...keep on traveling!
Love watching your trips, thanks again Andrew, you're a legend!
Thank you for the Botswana shout out. Uuduru does remind me of tsodilo too!
Awesome achievement Andrew and Kate. Very enjoyable video and I smashed the subscribe button too 👍🏼👍🏼
Yay!
I sure have enjoyed your trips with Kate. Revisiting this journey was nice.

Cheers

Thanks mate, thoroughly enjoyed both 1&2.
From memory though, road trains in WA are 53.5m, anyway close enough
Loving the content as always Andrew love what you do and very jelous, greetings from Scotland 🏴
Great trip Andrew
Amazing! I would love to do this trip in Australia with my 1997 Discovery! My time will come......
Agree, one day I'll get there also
3:42 A FART? REALLY? 😂 🦍💨
Awesome
25:04 i'm laughing my ass off, looks so familiar when i open the door of my father's car. I can't stop laughing

The azimuthal equidistant projection is the best; and most accurate.
So awesome 😎
What a great series thank you
Epic!
What size are the KM3's? And what size are the skinnier KO2's that you prefer
Have you ever been out to Mildura, or Lake Mungo and out to Ivanhoe and Cobar? It's very nice out there. The pink lakes and the country beyond are quite gorgeous. Very nice way to cross from say, Adelaide to the back of NSW.
what navigation you are using , GPS navigation or Google map , how about communication mobile phone , or radio thanks
Old bushmans trick for flies 🪰 grab a small tree branch.
Never stop waving it.
Hope that helps 😀😀
Loving your videos! What camera are you using for the dash camera shots indicating your speed? THANKS from Minnesota USA!
Wonderful video with honest commentary. Was the route worth battling the flies?
yep - low third works for a turbo 80 series as well -high range doesnt cut it aye Craig
Need to do the north and south points now.
Did you count the stubby holders at Mount Dare.
I think your caluclation of L/100 is wrong. I make it 14.5 L/100. Thanks for including the data, though. It's hard to find real world overlanding figures for a fully laden Troopy.
Anyway, a great film of a great trip. Let's make money by harvesting the flies and turning them into snacks!
I'm not anal about it, but I do pay attention to my consumption. The V8 responds very well to a light foot, and conversely very badly to a heavy one. I've also managed 16L/100 kms pushing it. I regularly got 14.5 with the Dream Tourer and that's 4 tonnes.
On the fly issue, have you tried the electrical “tennis racket”? I have it at home and it’s brilliant.
Only recently discovered your channel. Quite enjoying it. Watching random things and came across this aussie video. What i want to know. Who was enforcing the 40k zone out in the middle of no where? That is hilarious. 🤣
It was funny to see that sign. But the funnier side was, at best, full speed was about 30 kph!
Hi Andrew
What time of the year did you do this trip?
Would the flies be as bad in the middle of the dry season?
I’m curious what psi is for gravel roads Greg video.
3:43 .. that was a fart! 🙂
Epic.... Epic... How about a Cape to Cairo?
Quike quiestion: how would your 4.2 troopy in a trip like this do and would you a temp it ? from south africa thanks for all the great content!
yes. no question.
they make great mates the dingoes and i realize the place for the sayingbag your head
Andrew!, I trust dear Kate picked up the tins...I have know blokes to leave them in Wyoming (-;
I feel for all these long trips, you need a 2nd driver to break things up - it take the load off one, gives a chance to just sit and relax.
3:41 did you fart Andrew? hahahah
At 31.03 the rock looks like an Aboriginal's head on the side ( from the left to right the forehead, nose, lips and then chin) photos on the correct aerial angle look the same.
gees - where are the flies?? when we went through apr 2019 you couldnt see for the amount of bloody flies there!
My Question is Why dont you keep driving on the Coast of Eastern Australia ? Curios LOL
I live in Western Australia, a six day drive from the East.
Good fun…thank you…great to see a Yarpie Anglophile in the Australian Outback…enjoyed your perspective…gives insight into the capacity of the indigenous people who have inhabited the joint for est 65000 years…
Andrew will be an Aussie soon. If not already.
@@Malc664 That can only be a good thing…like Aussie, Pommy, Czechoslovakian Joe Bugner….maybe…
You may not have enjoyed the extra 8 days (29:30) but I know I would have really enjoyed it :-(
39:50 Meekatharra - meek a (uh) tharra (definitely th like thongs, then rhymes with barra ie barramundi).
Showed this to my wife and as Yanks we had the impression the Dingo was either extinct or close to it. Am I confusing this with something else? Having so much fun tracking this trip on Google Earth.
Are you thinking of the Tasmanian devil?
@@michaelv4927 It's the Tasmanian Tiger, the Tasmania Devil isn't extinct.

What were the size of the tyres.
One the roads east, 235/85R16 and on the tracks west, 285/75R15.
