The Hay River Track, Simpson Desert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- The Simpson Desert is perhaps the last place on Earth that you would associate with the word ‘river’. Yet there it is … at th northern end lays the Hay River and its revered track. Forget packing the swimwear though, for the ‘river’ just does not flow. In fact, even with heavy and consistent rainfall, the water flow on the surface barely makes a mark on its northward journey. Nope, any water here in this dry bed lays about two metres underground.
We take on the Hay River Track after spending a few days at Birdsville and the Big Red Bash. It was the year of Paul Kelly and Jimmy Barnes, when heavy rain brought the concert into the heart of the town. After a big part, it was time to leave Birdsville behind and travel into the vast Simpson Desert for some serious solitude and unrivalled beauty.
Nice video, we used to take the Numery & Hale River Rd to Birdsville. You'll find 2 abandoned communities to the west of the track where there houses are locked and furniture still wrapped in 1990s plastic
Nicely put together with good commentary and plenty of drone footage, cheers we really enjoyed it
Love these 4x4 Outback videos ...virtual travel during lockdown ! I live in the West of Ireland where you can drive to the East in 2hours 30...people in the Outback would drive twice or more that to get a pint of milk and a newspaper !
Ireland is ruled by England

Top blokes in the Aussie outback!
Awesome video and great info.
THANK YOU FOR OTHER GREAT VIDEO SHOW BEAUTY AUSTRALIA BUSH AS TRAVEL UP HAY TRACK AS WAS GREAT WATCHING
It would be fantastic more videos of these!
Great vid . No getting bogged for the vid .. no stupidity.. no double over head difflocks for 'serious' 4x4 . I did the rig road when the caravan on the ammo truck was being fitted out, great memories
More videos like this!
Inexperience is the biggest problem.
Like driving in convoy as if your in traffic . Give each other 10min appart , then you can use those fantastic expensive UHFs
A Land Rover with a serious oil leak, who would have guessed! 😋
Front cam cover 'o' ring and it's a simply fix ... 5 minutes worth the work .. if that!!
It took you overnight to get it repaired and probably cost you a small fortune. It's about $2 for a new 'o' ring.
If you don't have even the ability to fix such a 'minor' issue in the outback ... you probably shouldn't be out there!!🙄
Or maybe you were just trying to dramatise the situation for the viewing audience.🙂
@@davidhuett3579 Why are you replying to my year old comment as if I made or am in the video?
@@erroneouscode sorry ... I meant to put my comment in the root and inadvertently put it in your comment by mistake

Good point I've often asked the same question
To be all in the same "image" when filming.
Thats how its supposed to be done .

Love these videos but pat is better this guys is to serious he is fake to watch needs the pat factor
I'd rather this bloke Pat is a 1 hour long commercial flogging his sponsors products
I was gonna say, the only fake one is Pat!
I used to like watching the shows in the early years .... loved the quality of the photography.
Just got sick of the constant infomercials!!
