Solo Camping on the Snowy River : [ An Unforgettable Location ]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Solo Camping on the Snowy River in this Unforgettable location will be one solo trip i will always remember.
This solo camping location is as good as it gets. Stunning views over the Snowy River.
On the drive into the Snow River National Park, i stopped at Little River Falls. It's only a short walk into the waterfalls, and well worth going in for a look.
Leaving the Little River Waterfalls, i continue into the Snowy River National Park to find a camping spot on the Snowy River.
I have to say, where i have set up my solo river camping spot over looking the mighty Snowy River is simply one of the best river camping locations i have ever found.
It was such a relaxing camping spot with the sounds of the bush and the Snowy River just below me to pass my time.
I even tried my luck fishing in the Snowy River. No luck this time.
The Snowy River is such an iconic mountain river system that flows through two States in Australia. Eventually running out into Bass Strait on the coast near Orbost.
Packing up camp from this beautiful location was hard to do. But, i now had a bucket list location to visit and explore the history that surrounds McKillops Bridge.
I have been wanting to visit McKillops bridge for many years.
Driving across the bridge for the first time as the Snowy River flows underneath, was an amazing moment.
The history that is attached to McKillops bridge is very interesting. The original bridge was swept away from a massive flood in January of 1934. The second bridge was built, which is what you can see today.
Solo river camping beside the Snowy River and seeing McKillops Bridge, will have lasting memory's for a long time.
I will be back for sure.

Stunning view looking straight over the Snowy River.
Very relaxing place.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
I love that snowy river movie. ❤❤

G'day Robert,
Thanks mate, im glad you enjoyed this trip. Certainly a great spot.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Living the dream!! Pity we can't live there permanently!! LOL!!
Hahah Lol
Yes please, if only to build a house on that camp spot.
Amazing views every day.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
Oh and again! A burger or steak sanga with a few chippies on the side so easy. Mmmm.
That’s it mate. Simple cook up, but a great cook up as well.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Proff filming. Love it. Hi from Norway,Oslo.
G'day mate,
Thanks for dropping in from Oslo, i greatly appreciate your reply.
It was a really nice trip that one.
Cheers Tim.
Hey there from Canada. Beautiful country you have
G'day Jim,
Thanks mate for dropping in from Canada.
A lot of amazing country to see down here in Australia.
Canada is a country that i would like to see some day. The mountains and rivers that you have would be amazing to see.
Thanks mate for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Loving the no dialogue sometimes as I can feel the serenity through my screen! 😁
G'day Gary,
Yeah mate, i agree. It seems to drag you right into the surrounds without the talking.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Tim the intro was an epic piece of solo filming and editing. We counted 20 or so angles just up to driving into camp, the splicing made it feel like you had a whole crew, the tall boom angle up the tree in camp was inspired, very much appreciate the work that took. "Casey" level effort, as many comment on his vlogs.
@@davidr7236 G'day David,
Thanks heaps mate.
Have to keep the camera moving to keep it interesting.
A stack of work to film on my own and then i edit as well.
Just love making the videos for you guys.
Thanks a lot mate for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures looks like one of your GoPros was running a 'flat' colour profile and the other a regular one. A good reminder for me to keep the settings similar across two. I keep forgetting to set the date/time when replacing the batteries as well, to make syncing up easier. I've gotta get out there and practice more 😉
@@davidr7236 Could be mate. pretty sure the settings are all the same, might be just different angles to the sun.
Got to keep checking though.
I was down this way last week, stopped at a place called Blue Pool if you know it early in the morning and went for a swim. Water was warm and such a beautiful place. If you visit early morning on a weekday you'll probably have it to yourself.
Ahh righto mate.
No, i didn't know about the Blue Pools. I'll look into that on another trip.
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim.
Just missing beetroot on that magnificent burger 😃
G'day Wayne,
I'm not a big fan of beetroot, but willing to give it a go mate.
Cheers Tim.
Certainly is a beautiful part of our country, well done Tim.....
Yeah you’re not wrong.
Stunning country.
Cheers Tim.
Never been to the snowy mountains
but camped & fished mitchel river near Bairnsdale .
G'day Mark,
This is a wicked spot to camp on the Snowy River. Its seasonally closed at the moment.
Top spot mate.
Cheers Tim
At first I thought you had your own brand cold one, "O" it in your cup. Great video again.
Nah mate.
Great spot to camp thats for sure.
Cheers Tim.
ace spot plus
Thats a wicked spot on the Snowy River mate.
Cheers Tim
Looks absolutely brilliant Tim. The Snowy’s been on my bucket list for awhile but looks like we might have to leave the van at home for this one and take the swag. Such beautiful countryside. 😊🍷
G'day Miriam,
Stunning country, thats for sure.
Yeah i highly recommend not taking the van.
Apart from it being sign posted that it's not suitable for vans. Not hard to see why when you drive down.
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
Beautiful drive, done a few years ago.
Sure is stunning country.
Cheers Tim.
Another bloody ripper and added destination for me. Cheers Tim!
Gday Steve,
It’s a Crackn spot mate.
Check it out when you can. You’ll love it.
Cheers Tim.
Killer spot tim. Hamburger no sauce required 😱 come on mate hahaha.
Haha lol
Yeah mate, not required sometimes. Lol
Top spot though.
Cheers Tim.
Great vid Tim.👍
Thanks mate. Sure is a great area.
Cheers Tim.
Nice one!
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim
Apart from the great content what I like about Tim is he always takes the time to reply to your comment.
Gday Michael,
Thanks mate. I appreciate your reply and feedback.
I might a few replies from people, but I won’t miss many.
I just feel, that if someone takes the time to ask a question or reply about the video.
They deserve a written reply for that.
Thanks again mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures That’s why we watch Tim! Thanks mate
@@The_Stoic_PhilosopherAU I appreciate that mate.

G'day Arthur,
Yeah mate, it is a ripper spot to camp. Ten star for sure.
Thanks mate for your feedback.

Great time lapse of the sun setting at that first camp ground mate. Nice work
Thanks mate.
It was a stunning night watching the sun go down over the mountains.
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
hey tim. ive been up through there a couple of times. the brige is unreal and how it was built. too bad you didnt catch a fish. that hamburger looked increible, but man you got to have sauce on it.. great vid again thanks man
G'day Gary,
Yeah mate, it's stunning country and seeing the bridge for the first time was pretty special.
How do you mean mate by how was it built?
Maybe next time i will get onto a fish. Still relaxing sitting by the Snowy River anyway. Lol
Sauce mate will go on the next one. Lol
Thanks heaps for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
hey tim hows it going. ? what i meant by how mckillops brige was built is more so how hard it would have been back in the day to get the materilas up there. id imagine they would have had to camp in there to get the job done, its so far in.
@@garywinkworth3380 yeah mate. When you see where the bridge is located. It’s a long way in from anywhere to where it stands.
In the early 1900’s they wouldn’t of had modem transport like we have today.
Great Video once again Tim. Nice slow motion on the cooking too. 😉 Looking forward to your next trip thank you.
G'day Jason,
Thanks mate, i greatly appreciate your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Great video & Great to see the mighty Snowy again first camped on the river near Willis ? About 45 odd years ago not much water plenty of sand bars great spot … sit in a water pothole all day
The last time I went thru there plenty of water and majority of river and it’s banks over grown with vegetation access to the river near impossible that was about 20years ago but still a beautiful part of the world
Gday mate.
Stunning river and country around that way.
Some big floods have been through over the years.
Plenty of river access now.
Try and get back some day.
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim.
The mighty Snowy river,WOW! breath taking Tim.
G'day Norm,
Yeah mate, you summed it up pretty well.
Stunning country.
Cheers Tim.

Gday Ross,
Sure is a fantastic spot mate.
Good ol Dargo pub. Great spot and good meals.
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
Another great vid thanks Tim. I spend some time up that part of the world north of Buchan. Great part of the world. It’s one of those more remote places that offers you stunning landscapes with the space to soak it all in. Thanks for sharing.
Gday Tony,
Great country mate.
My first time in that area and sure won’t be my last.
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
The Snowy River is a definite must see.Beautiful scenery and plenty of diverse wildlife to see with plenty of grouse camp sites.Relaxing in the river is the best natural stress medication.Another great presentation Tim. Cheers, Rob.
Thanks Rob,
I agree totally mate. It was so relaxing camping beside the Snowy River.
Great spot mate.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Still to make it up there, been on the list for a while. Great video as always, have now got the wife hooked on your vids. Loves where you go and the great advice you always give.

Amazing country thats for sure.

It sure is stunning country.
I’m glad that I have finally ticked off McKillops Bridge.
Great to see.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Yeah good onya mate.
@@johndelaney2957 thanks mate.
Loving this type of content too Batesy! 👍🏽
Without cameras, is it how you usually go camping?
Also great work on getting those koalas to take some of the tree shots. ☺
Thanks mate,
Yeah, what you see is how i go camping. With or without a camera going. Simple set up.
Yeah mate, they were very helpful in those high rise shots. Lol
Cheers Tim.
Hi Tim...loved the video. Would love to get to this awesome spot. Could you please give directions to get here? Thanks in advance - An avid fan😊
Gday mate
Head towards McKillops Bridge
Head down Little River Junction Tk
It’s a fairly steep track off the road.
It’s a seasonally shut track.
You’ll be lucky to get that spot I camped in.
That’s the only spot down that track with a stunning view over the Snowy River
Don’t go down if it’s a wet track.
Cheers Tim.
Hey Tim. Can’t believe you havnt been to McKillops Bridge until now. I’ve been twice and the first time was solo in a stock Lux. Came down from Canberra via the Deddick Valley! I instantly fell in love with the VHC as a result. Will be taking my crew out there later this year hopefully!!
Gday mate,
Where I use to live on the Mornington Peninsula, it was just a long way. To far for a weekend and nearly fat for a three day trip.
Now I’m in East Gippsland, only a couple of hours.
I’ll be doing a lot more trips in the Snowy River area.
Absolutely stunning country.
Next trip is already planned.
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
Tim , when we here up north in Norway have -22 to -34`c ( today 50-80 km north of Oslo) and sun from a blue sky, then it`s good to see your videos, drinking hot coffee and have a good fire going in the oven :-) Smashing good !
And in about 3 mnd.`s time , we are starting our campingtrips :-)
Mate, thats just crazy temps you have to deal with.
We down here in Australia just cant comprehend those kind of minus temps. Even during our winter, we are luck if we get - 4 or 5. and you're talking - 22 and up. Crazy mate.
Thanks for your reply and you enjoy that hot coffee and fire.
Cheers Tim.
That is seriously cold. Not sure us Aussies could handle that type of climate.
Cheers
@@4bnewb969 I reckon.
Awesome area
Sure is mate.
Stunning country.
Cheers Tim.
Such amazing spot mate top stuff. That's the first time I seen a fishing rod in your hand lol just a pitty you couldn't hook up..
You better get the reverse light looked at hahah.
Keep them coming after lock down
G'day Chris,
I had the fishing rod out in my last solo trip that went up last week.
Hopefully i'll get on to a high country trout some day.
Thanks heaps mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures use a black and Celta you won't have any problem then in the clear water 👌
@@chriscoyne4827 The Patrol only has one reverse light from standard.
Gday Tim, great video. Really enjoyed the natural nature type sounds during the first 2 minutes or so. Could I ask who designed your logo sticker rap on your doors. Thinking of getting something on mine just don’t know how to kick it off. Thanks Wayne.
Gday Wayne,
Thanks mate. Truely a stunning and relaxing location.
I designed my door logo with the help of a website called 99 Designs.
The concept work well for me.
Maybe check that out mate.
Thanks for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures thanks Tim. I will.
@@Wayne.Groomes.Fishing no worries mate.
3 and a half turns of ya billy😂
Haha
That’s all it takes. lol.
Cheers Tim
Mate, what a trip. I did that trip a long time ago now and can’t wait to take the kids up to show them. Just wondering though, would those tracks be suitable for a camper trailer? It looked ok. Like a highway in some spots. Keep up the great work mate. Loving it.
Gday Steve ,
It’s a great spot mate, I hope you can make a return visit with your family soon.
As far as taking a camper trailer down.
The drive after the waterfalls to the bridge is a long way.
It’s sign posted not suitable for caravans.
The road is very narrow for long sections, if you came across a vehicle coming the other way. It would be a mission getting past. It’s a one vehicle track with steep drop offs.
Totally up to you mate.
But, you will need to be good at reversing a trailer if someone comes along on a narrow dirt road.
Hope that helps mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures cheers mate. Yeah it does help and sound very familiar from when I went last time. The trailer I have is only a small mdc soft floor but might make a base camp somewhere. Oh and that burger you made looked bloody delicious. Thanks again for your help 🤙🍻
@@stevespoor9163 yeah it’s a tough call about taking a trailer down.
Not a great road at all.
The burger mate was mint. Lol.
No worries at all mate.
just subscribed Tim, magnificent!
Thanks heaps for that.
Welcome onto my channel. I hope you enjoy the videos mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures great stuff, genuine counts!
@@lonepineX thanks mate
Greatly appreciate your feedback.
Haha i think im gunna have to play the drinking game with this video mate. Every time you say "The Mighty Snowy River" im taking a swig of beer haha. Top video mate. Gotta love that part of the world. Cheers.
Hahah Lol
Cant beat camping on the mighty snowy river, thats for sure. Lol
Cheers Tim
Watching this with a glass of (Aussie) red in chilly old England waiting to come back home for a vist and tour Victoria, last time I was up that way was in the early 70's with my parents.
G'day Tim,
Good glass of red on a chilly night sounds great.
Thanks mate for dropping in from England.
I hope you can get back here soon mate, and take another look at this stunning area.
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
If you know anyone who may suffer from stress, anxiety or depression illness, get them to watch this video. Couldn't think of a better medicine.
Thanks mate.
It sure is very peaceful camping in a location like this with amazing views overlooking the Snowy River.
Thanks for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
What is the most beautiful campsite you've seen in victoria Tim?
Gday mate.
Really hard to pick one out as I’ve been to so many amazing river side and mountain top camp spots.
But, this one on the Snowy River would be high on the special list.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
@@timbates4wdadventures I see. Do you have a top 5?
@@WarningTimes I sure do mate.
I’d like to get round to filming those.
@@timbates4wdadventures can you reveal those locations 😁
Good to see you got the penthouse suite... I almost felt a poem coming on..
Hahah
Yeah mate, it was a top spot. Wicked view over the Snowy River.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
I wouldn't mind a bit more talking
Thanks mate.
I appreciate your feedback.
I’ll take that on board for other trips.
Cheers Tim.
Tim one day you will catch a fish big enough to eat, for fishing help just google snowy river fishing guide 😀😃😄
G'day mate,
Yeah one day i will get on to a decent size trout.
I'll check it out for sure.
Cheers Tim.
Hello mate love the video's, just a dumb question what is and where can I buy that oven rod stand and griller setup you have its simply awesome.
G'day Keith,
Sorry mate, that set is hand made and not from a shop.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Kings used to have a version of it -- don't know if they still do. If not, I bet BCF or Snowy's has something similar; or your local Aussie Disposals.
@@Loribyn Yeah, im not sure about those other stores.
Or you could try Hillbilly Camping Gear.
They make top quality camping gear.
Cheers Tim.
Ok thank you fellows.
@@keithmason3461 No worries mate.
Another top vid mate , google McKillops bridge in flood , there’s an old black and white pic with the water a few meters under the bridge............bloody scary mate .
G'day Luke,
Thanks a lot mate. Great spot.
Yeah, i have seen those old black and white photos of the floods.
I would like to have used some in this video.
But need to be careful of copy write issues.
Amazing amount of water came down.
Cheers Tim.
Nice Batesy, you WEEKDAY bandit you lol. Gr8 segment, the cracking of the fire was awesome.
Gr8 habit you have Batesy of rocking up with a load of wood,. The camp site look well used, so being prepared with fire wood comes down to experience. Thx for the history on the bridge, I guess climate change happened back in 1934 also.
G'day Shayne,
Thanks for that. It was a crackn spot to kick back for a few days.
Yeah, i always get a roof load of fire wood before getting to camp.
You cant always be guaranteed on having fire wood when you get to where you're camping.
What i don't use, i leave behind for the next person.
The bridge history is amazing whats attached to McKillops. Great spot.
Must of happened way back then as well. Massive amount of water came down.
Thanks for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
G'Day Tim, have to agree with.... 'a picture says a thousand words' philosophy !!! as a favour to others , can you start to put the LAT/LONG details in the description box for the camp sites you use?? dave
G'day Dave,
Yeah mate, that view from camp sure does say a thousand words about the area.
Just stunning.
Top idea mate, i'll look into that detail for the camp spots i go to.
Thanks heaps for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Love the country and the effort you put into your vids. Whilst watching your latest one, I noticed some good old Aussie adjectives you use. No malice intended but in this edition, ‘Magnificent’ featured 5 times; Beautiful 5 times and Sensational twice. Good descriptors for the Snowy region. I might do a count when I get sent your next segment. Good onya mate. 👍🏻🦘🦘
Gday mate,
They are just words I like to use a lot that well describe the moment.
Maybe I get a bit to excited and repeat them a bit, but still great times being had. Lol
Thanks mate, I greatly appreciate your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Look At the Debris on the Headstock Column! Man that Snowy River gets going in the Wet Season .You can See the Construction joint where the Columns have been Raised
Yeah mate, it's a major river system for the area. During winter it would be cranking down through that area.
The join line on the columns is very easy to see how much higher they had to make it, so it wouldn't happen again.
Thanks mate for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Great video as always mate! What's the track into McKillops Bridge like, found really conflicting reports on that, would really like to get your opinion on it.
G'day Greg,
The road not long after i left the waterfalls is sign posted not suitable for caravans.
Not hard to see why when you drive it.
For about 20ks, the road is a one vehicle track, with very limited opportunities to pass if another vehicle comes the other way. A lot of reversing would be going on if another vehicle comes the other way.
There's a lot of tight blind corners, that you need to be careful on.
Depending what time of year you plan to go.
But, to drive that road during the busy holiday times, yeah it would be pretty full on.
Nothing to be scared about driving it, just be super careful on some of the tight sections.
Hope that helps mate.
Cheers Tim.
God I love Australia . And I love your Videos Tim ( I guess fish Burger was off the menu) . Living life the way you should!
G'day Jim,
Thanks mate, there's certainly some amazing country to see around Australia.
Yeah mate, no fish on the menu for that trip. Lol Maybe next time.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Hey mate what are you using to sit your skillet on when cooking? Im trying to find one for myself but i dont know the name
G'day mate,
They are hand made and not from a shop.
Cheers Tim.
Hi Tim, was that Little River Junction Campground you were at? What’s the track like down to it?
G'day Kate,
Yes it is. Top spot if you can get the same spot that i set up on.
The track down is hard packed clay track, would be challenging if it was wet getting down and back out.
Worth checking out.
Cheers Tim
Great vid mate another place for to drag the great White House lol
Thanks mate.
Well worth the trip in.
Cheers Tim.
Hi Tim - what are you carrying on your hip at camp in this video? PLB?
I’m hoping poor Incy Wincy 🕷 was able to climb back up again and wasn’t washed away.
Gday Peter,
Yeah mate, that’s my PLB. Always carry it when on my own without phone reception
Must have item.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
watching your video during lockdown, felt like i am in the bush camping. Well done mate and thanks for your effort of making the video.
Thanks a lot mate.
That’s a great camping spot on the Snowy River.
Mate, you take care, stay safe and hopefully you can travel soon.
Thanks for your reply.

Beautiful countryside. This is what I miss about the eastern states. Cheers, mate..

Camping out in the Aussie bush is amazing, especially in a location like this one on the Snowy River.

Good spot, Stayed at Little River Junction Camp ground for about 10 Days summer 2003. We had continuous 40+ Degree days (with a close eye on the fires in the Alps nearby) and spent them all beside and in the river, still one of my best memories for a trip. Great video and great spot.
Yeah cool mate.
That would be a great spot to base camp up for a few days.
Nice river that one and the falls are a great walk in.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Love these solo camping trips mate. So peaceful and what a beautiful view. Another great video Tim.
Thanks mate.

It’s a Crackn spot if you can get it.
Certainly one of the best campgrounds I have setup on.
Hope you can check it out soon.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
There was movement at the station. For the word had got around. That the colt from old Regret had got away. And had joined the wild horses, he was worth a thousand pounds.
And across the ditch here in NZ, everytime i see the words "Snowy River " I can't help thinking of "The Man from Snowy River." Yet again another great episode. Top marks mate. Take care.
G'day Bryan,
Yeah mate, it's a great Aussie movie that one. Such a classic for this area.
Thanks heaps mate for dropping in from the NZ. I greatly appreciate your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures yeah hi Tim. I cheated. I've got the book, "The Complete works of AB (banjo) Paterson and copied those lines. Seeing your cook set think i might get a mate of mine to put a similar one together for me. She's a great welder. Atb
@@bryanbadger6841 handy mate having the books.
It’s a top cook set mate.
Hi Tim ... great video ... Is the camp site the little river gorge visitors node
Gday Jerry,
Little River Junction Tk.
4wd only down and back out.
Cheers Tim
Tim,you should have shown the Little River Gorge
G'day Alan,
I went into the falls. Didnt know about the gorge.
Cheers Tim.
Hey tim great country. If you ever get the chance go up river to nsw and check out the pinch and jacobs rivers that run into the snowy, just cruise up the barryway.
Gday Shane
I’m planning more trips up that way.
I’ll keep that in mind for sure mate.
Thanks heaps for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Please do a night fall into the night video so can see what set up you have and what you usually do to pass the evening before retiring... Thx
G'day mate,
No worries at all. I'll take that in mind for future trips away.
I appreciate your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
One of your best this one- really felt the beauty of that location.An air con van with a coffee machine just doesn't do it anyway as good.
Yeah mate, its a top spot to kick back for a few days.
Cheers Tim.
Hey Tim what is the access road like.....awesome spot.
Gday Darren,
The track into where I camped is now seasonally closed until Cup Weekend.
Cheers Tim.
How many days does it take you to shoot one scene? You must love looking at yourself, just walk around with a GoPro mate no one needs to see 4 different angles of you drinking a beer
G'day Terry,
That 20 odd min video took two days to film.
With my trips and particularly my solo trip, im selling lifestyle.
Those beer shots i think just add to relaxation and lifestyle.
I have certain ways how i shoot my videos, if thats not how you enjoy watching videos, thats fine mate.
I greatly appreciate everyones feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Hi Tim great video, question have you lost a gopro yet forgetting were you put it LOL
Gday Craig,
No I haven’t lost one. I hope I don’t either. Lol
Thanks for your reply, it was a great trip.

It’s off to the right about a couple of Ks before getting to the bridge.
It’s a seasonally closed track at the moment.
Won’t open until Melbourne Cup weekend.
Wicked spot mate.
Cheers Tim.
Tim what was the name of the 1st camp spot you stayed at pls as that is spectacular
G'day Travis,
It's down at the end of Little River Junction Track. 4WD only to get down and back out.
There's a heap of camp spots when you get to the bottom.
But, where i set up is the pick of the spots.
Cheers Tim.
Great video again - love the bird noises and the animals again. Impressed with your solo camera work - that footage at the waterfall would have taken some time!
G'day Hugh,
Thanks mate.
Sounds of the bush and the wild life running around were amazing.
Yeah mate, a lot of work the get the shots at the waterfalls. But all worth the effort.
Thanks a lot mate for your feedback. I greatly appreciate it.
Cheers Tim.
No pineapple on burger🤦🏻♂️ just ain’t cricket.
Hahah Lol
Nah, not on this cook up. Lol
Cheers Tim.
Got to say the less dialogue and setups for camera views were your best yet.
Thanks heaps mate. I greatly appreciate your feedback.
Glad you enjoyed it mate.
Sure was a top spot.
Cheers Tim.
8:20 how do you call and where to buy that fire setup?cheers
Gday mate,
Can’t buy this one.
Hand made. Didn’t come from a shop.
Cheers Tim.
That poor long suffering billy 🙂 What a camp spot, and the view! Thanks for sharing.
G'dar Fred,
Mate the ol billy is still going strong Lol
Great spot mate.
Cheers Tim.
Mate that was cracking, amazing. Snowy River Road mate? when does the track close Timbo?. I've got five days coming up, thinking of taking the handbrake there. Cheers Moosey
Gday mate,
Great spot mate.
The track down to where I camped will close the first Thursday after Queens Birthday weekend.
Worth checking out mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Too easy mate, I got the intel from the comments below. Ill lock this in for the break, 6 hours from Dookie but worth it mate. Cheers Mo.
@@MOOSEDOWNUNDER no worries mate.
You have a top trip.
Hi mate is that a 2 inch or 3 inch lift on the GU?
Nice part of the world
G'day Steven,
It's a 3 in lift mate.
But, it is sitting a bit higher than normal after all the weight came out of the back.
Suspension being changed soon i hope.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Beautiful drive, done a few years ago.
Yeah mate.
It’s great country.
Cheers Tim.
I was just there last week. A bucket list item for me also. My sons had managed to get up there the week before but had pretty crappy weather.
Ahh righto mate.
Yeah i had a couple of great weather days.
The next day though, it bucketed down rain.
Great spot though.
Cheers Tim.
You can only spin ‘ look at that view’ so much I suppose
Great view and never get sick of seeing it i guess.
Cheers Tim.
Fraser briggs = good froff at a good price 👌
Geez, you're red hot to pick that. Lol
They are a really nice drop.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Oh!! My home country! Thanks for such a wonderful video. Suddenly in my dotage I've been planning to take up camping. My first attempts will be on my cousin's property which is on the NSW side of the border (just). The thing that's bothering me are the wild dogs & pigs. Have you been hassled by them & what did you do? Adding a gun a good idea? We often see both dogs & pigs around on the river, so, am I being an old duck, am I being too worried? I don't fancy a big razorback rooting through my camp. If you want a nice remote camp in that area I'd recommend Merambego on the NSW side. It's not on the Snowy - basically you can't get through to the river - but it's lovely country with some great walking options.
You have knocked it out the ball park Tim, what a beautiful camping spot, now that one is on my bucket list.
Yeah get down and check it out. So good on the Snowy River.
Thanks mate for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Awesome Tim..thanks mate 🍺
No worries mate. Top spot.
Cheers Tim.
This is exactly the touring I'm now into. Going out and destroying my car against rocks is not me anymore. The content is great. In the ozzy bush listening to ozzy bush. 🍻👍
G'day mate,
Spot on, just enjoying what the surrounds of the bush has to offer is very relaxing.
I also really enjoy setting up in a spot like in the video and just enjoying where i am.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
@@timbates4wdadventures cheers to that 👍 🍻
@@68mustangmustang77 thanks mate.
