Your narration is a unique and humbling insight in to the incredibly intelligent mind of a keen adventurer and I genuinely can’t get enough of it. You’re all the adventure with none of the ego, modern adventure media has so much to learn from you. Please, don’t stop. Please, write a book.
I just saw the comment by path77ss - that's exactly what I was doing - typed in "road trips australia" and of the list I chose this one - I thought "OK, it's late and this is only 11 minutes..." bloody glad I did - great video, well put together, and some excellent shots. Nice work mate. I am an Aussie and wanted to see a bit of the outback and the road - I live in Thailand, and have not been back for a visit since 2019 due to COVID and Quaintarse not flying, and the 3k for a quarantine! So this is the better alternative. Thanks for the clip - I see there is a part 2, but as it's 5.03am now, and I need to rest, I will take a look tomorrow.
Do not drive into flood water until you check how deep it is and that there are no "washouts" across the road that are too wide & deep to cross. Washouts can be spotted by even slow swirling of the water through the the washout long after the water has peaked. And did you notice the speed the semi went through even though it had 3 × the wagons clearance. I suggest the driver was checking for that "swirling water. And you don't drive into water at the speed the wagon did because you can easily "drown" coils, computer componen, relays and other electrical stuff under the bonnet. You could easily aquaplane the wagon or even the trailer. Make sure you plug your diff & gearbox breather hoses before plunging in. But good on you young man for taking on the journey and a great vid showing that beautiful country to the world. I bet your better half will not stop pestering you for a down & back central trip once she sees the vid.
wow! I was just randomly looking for videos of road trip across Australia! I am so glad I made a stop at this video. Fantastic work in its entirety. This is on my bucket list. I have done San Francisco to New York road trip many times, I would love to drive across Australia! Love from US!
Gee whizz, so Aussie, such beautiful country, and if you shot all this video yourself, well you are a Master Photographer. Extremely well done! I am Aussie and wanna do the big trip around this great country of ours.... hopefully!
thumbs up from us mate not bad we have been on the road for about nine mths now doing a big lap love life keep dreaming mate new subscribers griffo and kezz cheers big ears
Beautiful! I have done road trip in Australia with 3 of my friends from Melbourne to Victoria and back. It's a beautiful country. Would like visit back again sometime.
I am getting a real urge to do a long distance drive through the Aus out back. Think It's the sort of place where you lose yourself and find yourself all at the same time. Great video the narration is thoughtful and very engaging. Please do more.
You're both embracing you nomadic instincts, our species was one that was on the move for thousands and thousands of years. Adventure always begins with trepidation but it subsides and your consciousness connects with your ancestral instincts and then you feel at more ease. Have a great journey.
It ain’t green in summer that’s for sure, not when it’s at least 45 degrees everyday! But again, it depends where exactly you are as the interior of Australia is huge.
Now I see it. but rain & flood. in the outback? So it goes from no water in endless miles of desolated sun baked western australia to rainy and flood in a full season then back to a dry landscape again. That pretty wild weather .
i was asking the same question 2 years ago but he didnt answer it because it is silly question haha, i stummble on drone a year ago then i got the answer from it, it is actualy called an active track in some of drone flying system,
The story is beautiful. But I can't stop wonder. If the story is about a documented solo journey how come then the often parts where the car is filmed while passing .... Mr Jesse would be go to the point of the camera , installing the camera, then he would go back away from the camera, then passing with the car , then stopping the car , going back to the camera and retrieve the camera..... All in a one rush journey to be reunited with his girl he was missing so much. I am not a hater , i like views I like journeys , I like videos about the journeys but I do not like being bullshitted . I saw some videos made for the purposes of being uploaded. Yes, the makers did got the journey did filmed in this way but they never said that they are only traveling and just happened to video something and share with us. It was obviously some work the video was a big part of the journey. But here is another story.....
Bukowski, Charles Bukowski. He was a Los Angeles poet. He wrote Post Office and Ham On Rye, but is most famous for his poems. Last Night Of The Earth Poems is the best one I've read...there's a poem called 'Bluebird' in that book...and it's awesome. I've attached it on this comment. It's best when he reads it though, there's a recording of it somewhere. Just a warning though...he's a massive negative nancy. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay down, do you want to mess me up? you want to screw up the works? you want to blow my book sales in Europe? there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too clever, I only let him out at night sometimes when everybody's asleep. I say, I know that you're there, so don't be sad. then I put him back, but he's singing a little in there, I haven't quite let him die and we sleep together like that with our secret pact and it's nice enough to make a man weep, but I don't weep, do you?
This video just showed up in recommendation and oh boy watching this was a great joy. keep it up. Thanks for such content. love every bit of it.

Just to clarify - should I say adventure one more time?
Adventure.

path77ss thanks, glad you liked the vid. You should definitely check out Australia, there's so much space!
I liked your narration, makes it feel relatable.
Gee whizz, so Aussie, such beautiful country, and if you shot all this video yourself, well you are a Master Photographer. Extremely well done! I am Aussie and wanna do the big trip around this great country of ours.... hopefully!

Very nice Jesse...
Regards from India!
Awesomely video! Great editing! Loved it!
The narration felt like listening to an audiobook while getting to see what was going on
Great video mate. Touched the heart. Thanks.
Beautiful! I have done road trip in Australia with 3 of my friends from Melbourne to Victoria and back. It's a beautiful country. Would like visit back again sometime.
Deepak Jaggi From Melbourne to Victoria?
Is it thatbeautiful? Never been there!!!!!!!!!!
That was great mate! On my bucket list as well.
such great video amazing camera set ups! love the other vids to!
I am getting a real urge to do a long distance drive through the Aus out back. Think It's the sort of place where you lose yourself and find yourself all at the same time. Great video the narration is thoughtful and very engaging. Please do more.
TIP for Jesse! Never drive into flood water at speed or before checking for washouts or holes, especially with a trailer behind.
Really nice to see
You're both embracing you nomadic instincts, our species was one that was on the move for thousands and thousands of years.
Adventure always begins with trepidation but it subsides and your consciousness connects with your ancestral instincts and then you feel at more ease.
Have a great journey.
Man, It's been 3 months since episode 1. How much longer do we need to wait for the other episodes? Really good stuff!
Hey Otto, Ep 2 is up, Ep 3 will not take as long!
Lionheart 2 and
Amazing scenery your video should have done more for tourism than anything I have ever seen seen.
amazing videos.
Looking nice and green - just love the wet season. You shoulda picked up a s'coffee in katherine!
Rule #1 when traveling across Australia : never camp by the side of any road or in any isolated camping ground, good chance of meeting Mick Taylor.
Why would Mick Taylor or any of the Rolling Stones be on an outback road ??? More likely to meet Slim Dusty
Amazing video
I really thought that the whole of inner Australia was desertic but it's actually pretty green!
algrand90 definitely depends on the time of year. During storm season (summer) everything is green. And then it gets pretty desertic during autumn
It ain’t green in summer that’s for sure, not when it’s at least 45 degrees everyday! But again, it depends where exactly you are as the interior of Australia is huge.
love your work mate 😀
Simon Berryman cheers Simon!
Will subscribe, looking forward to the sailing!
4:55 the man and the frog
Taking bath
Nice video!
Amazing
How did you afford the troopy? I guess if I sold my house to do this I'd have enough for the setup required.... hmmm
Awesome
I would love to do this on a Polaris slingshot drive across Australia
so you guys drive on the other side of the road. will take some adjustment
When will part 2 be uploaded! Lovely video
Tom Very soon mate, just waiting for some music to clear ✌️️
Hey Tom, Ep 2 is up!
If I remember right, isn’t all the lush green land usually a dry desert ? Did you have a really wet rainy season?
thomas why do you think its called "The Wet Season" ? Do ya think maybe 'coz its really wet?
Now I see it. but rain & flood. in the outback? So it goes from no water in endless miles of desolated sun baked western australia to rainy and flood in a full season then back to a dry landscape again. That pretty wild weather .
Good job dood
how do you get aerial footage if you are solo and driving at the same time?
i was asking the same question 2 years ago but he didnt answer it because it is silly question haha, i stummble on drone a year ago then i got the answer from it, it is actualy called an active track in some of drone flying system,
With great care, skill and luck :)
What drone were you using? Amazing colours.
Hey bud, using the Mavic, compact and great for travelling!
best drone in terms of the portability vs quality compromise. More than capable enough for a video blogger.
Is it safe to camp just off the main road ? Did you film some with a drome ?
Yes, how good are drones!
Great video man … less editing is best part as I know what’s it’s really look ..
I love this place , can anyone send me an invitation to come 😣😣
The story is beautiful. But I can't stop wonder. If the story is about a documented solo journey how come then the often parts where the car is filmed while passing ....

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?
