Thank you very much mate for making a great video.
How's your tenr/swag hybrid idea you mentioned a while ago coming along Scotty?
@@brandonb7120 It's going along very slowly. The second sample is being made up right now so will hopefully have it soon for some testing.
So, are you sponsored by Jeep mate ? It's getting noticeable.
@@edwardfletcher7790 Definitely not. It's a car based camping vid. Bit hard not to show the Jeep.
As a Canadian living with an Indigenous wife I really appreciate how you always speak about the traditional people of the land you are in
except he calls the Kamlairoi 'them'....people are still alive and well, he probably needs to brush up on some language.
its the traditional people that left the rubbish, the empty paint cans is a dead giveaway
Except we don’t do all the woke crud and belittle ourselves like you lot.
Unlike you folk we and the pre-European Aussies focus on an earnt mutual respect and a shared future rather than a contested past.
And my deep acknowledgment to the King, the commonwealth and the British Empire, without whom / which none of us would be able to stand on any Australian soil today 👍
mate! went pigging with some dogs here around 2017. It was around 330 am, and after taking a trophy of a boar, we were walking back to the ute (about 3km through the harsh scrub) and from behind us where we left the remains of that boar we heard an immense roar/bellow call..It was fkn insane. Never heard anything like that in my life, the dogs freaked out, we immediately crouched and turned off the torches and the collar lights on the dogs and waited a minute. After a short time we continued walking again but heard this insane gutteral scream again but it was closer than before so we just fkn RAN to the car with the dogs. NEVER heard anything like that in our lives, this was deep in the Piliga. Just to be clear, whatever made those noises was big, it sounded like a freaking massive animal of some kind but nothing we could identify at time or to this day.
Fnck that bro,Have you gone back hunting in that area again?
Should speak to AYR about it
I would've shit myself!
Crap.
@@timmy6588 Kindergarten playground stories.
Myself and the missis went to camp there a few years back on a road trip a strange landscape ,I'd heard bout the local yowie and ghost legends ,we lasted about a hr after dark , there was strange cracks of trees , and weird noises , and we hightailed it out of there and stayed in the car down further on the newell highway .
I was travelling alone in the Pilliga and stopped for lunch near a waterhole. Was so good with lots of bird life I decided to camp overnight. At about 4 pm I realized it had become very quiet. I became more uncomfortable as the evening progressed. At sunset I decided to leave . Had a real bad feel about the place. I camp Solo all the time and have never felt scarred in he bush. Sure was glad when I got back on the Newell.
@@fisher898 yes definitely a weird feeling around the place , we stayed down the road at a rest stop and that was even weird . I had a strange feeling of being watched . I kept looking at a old trail we were parked opposite for some reason . We had a hr snooze and kept going .
Australian yowie hunters hickey fall episode was good same general area
I've camped there plenty of time and never had the spooks
@breakingbud2530 that story is straight out of a movie, clichés and all. And why is it the encounters are always 10-20 years old? Because if it's recent, the people who knew your whereabouts during the time are gonna call you out on it
Years ago I was travelling through that region and late at night on the hwy, middle of nowhere and an old lady stepped out on the road in front of the truck. Scared the absolute poo out of me. Swerved and missed her and pulled up. Absolutely no site of her anywhere! After I calmed down I continued on with my trip. No idea who she was or why she was out there but I have never forgotten that.
Sounds like you may have seen the Pilliga Princess! Google it…
Old pilliga princess
@@24fifty_everythingelse Bloody hell!!!! Wow. I googled it, wish I hadn't.
@@caveyslux2786 I've since been told by other truckies to never stop along there! EVER.
@@Arlec90 there right mate alot of weird shit down out there could tell people some stroys about the place but beautiful place to grow up
The Pilliga has earned it's reputation. You can believe it or not but many people will confirm the yowies are there
I'm 55 year old , live in the U.S. and I have gone camping all my life. It is sad how time has changed the way people care about the outdoors.. We have more forest fire caused by man, trash dumped everywhere, and graffiti everywhere. More and more areas are being closed down to camping. It's nice to see that you care and educate people in you video. Thank you for all that you do!!!!!!!!!!!
Yowies everywhere in the Pilliga
Yeap alot in qld too.bloody yowies
Yep, the more gin you drink …… the more the yowies come out ….. somehow ! …… they might like the smell of it. When you hear them, don’t shit yourself or fart even ….. because they seem to be encouraged to do their blood curdling shrieks and other weird noises when they know they’ve got you scared. Maybe the grub’s undies you found were very smelly …..
But don’t be a wuz because I’ve never actually heard of a yowie ever killing anyone or for that matter of anyone ever seeing one …. the mongrels are bloody cowards I reckon. So Scotty, I suggest that you keep the gin to just a couple of those mugs full …. unless you want to be scared shitless ! The common name for those beautiful Angophoras is the Apple (obviously nothing like the fruit tree).
You’re getting a lots followers from overseas mate ….that’s great, …. If and when COVID let’s up we’ll see some of them discovering what you’ve shown them. Great stuff Scotty 🐾🐾🐾🐾 (yowie tracks)
@@billgoldly3962 have you had a couple mugs yourself ? Lol
@@billgoldly3962 👍👍
@@symphonyinkart lol, I couldn't tell if he was being serious or not. Some interesting point but they undies were a curve ball! 😆
Grew up in Gulargambone, near Pilliga. We used to get the hairy men out that way.
i was homeless for 4 months in melbourne in the cbd and some lady gave me a backpackbedswag. i carried that thing around in the busy city nursing a stab wound and it was a lifesaver. made my way to the canadian embassy in sydney and used it also to sleep by the opera house with a view of the h. bridge. falling asleep broken inside, but listening to the sounds of possums, bats and world class opera. memories 🔥
Full of it but alright
@@hazanies9543 that is just a few months of my life. you sit on youtube and judge people over a screen. nice life lol
@@jmack6980 ive been homeless myself and i know for a fact u can barely hang around the opera house before security asks you to leave espically if it looks like your gonna be setting up camp there lol
@@hazanies9543 i was in the park by the governor's place and this was in 2016. i also don't "set up camp" like a lazy fuck. i set up towards dark and leave by 7am. the security by the opera house took a photo of me in front of it because i had no cell phone. they saw my giant bag and were nothing but pleasant, but as i said i wasn't camping in front of the bloody opera house but you can hear it from the park it's not even 0.1 km away
Hope you’re in a better place today mate! But sometimes we have to go through the sh*t to become a better person. Never forget where you came from!
Cheers!
Camped there once on the way to Queensland from Victoria. Will never go back. A truly terrifying night. Still have nightmares 30 years later.
Do tell?
You can’t leave us hanging!
Yowies everywhere there.
Was it because you met your wife there? 🤔
Yes , what happened ?
Open up RUclips, first thing I see is Scotty posted a new video a minute ago. Great day.
Thanks for cleaning up after the nasty "people" who left their garbage. I really don't understand the mentality there. Just take it with you, its not that hard.
The peoblem is that good people think that all the people will think alike :(
they got chased off by yowies and left the garbage to save their lives
@@chronicawareness9986 Perhaps eaten by them? One can hope.
The closer you are to a city/ city folk. The more rubbish you'll see.
simply put its bogans, they ruin every outdoor activity giving the rest of us a bad name.
You couldn’t pay me enough of anything to spend half a night in the Piliga on my own mate! Hats off to you for doing so. That place is about as creepy as it gets.
Have you been and stayed? What stories do you have?
What an amazing place. Shame about the grubs and the rubbish and the vandalism. Some people really suck. Thanks for yet another awesome video. 😃
Your videos are just inspirational. You are a natural visual storyteller and you can bring us along on your journeys like we are riding along with you. Your cinematography is beautiful and the way you welcome us to your country through your understated presentation is genius. You are a talented man Scotty, keep doing what you do, the world needs more Scotty's.
i grew up in that area, the night time smell in summer is amazing, hearing koalas fighting, grunting( which my grandfather told me was a yowie).
thanks for the video
One day you'll make something that isn't completely burnt 🤣 (But not today)
can't help but admire someone who manages to carbonise all the meals he cooks and then continues to eat them with great gusto ... hats off to you sunshine
this is such a special place. and loved that story behind the plate, Scotty!
First of all: good on ya for helping clean up other people’s mess. I do the same on the regular.
Second: I am born and raised in the Pacific Northwest (well...some of my life was spent in California). I was in Scio, OR for the eclipse. Since you’re an Ozzie, I’ll tell ya...I am a didj player (have been for over 20 years). Me and a bunch of friends from America’s largest didgeridoo festival went to the top of a secluded mountain and witnessed it. It was amazing how even nature got quiet when it happened. All the birds stopped signing during the peak blackout. Such a surreal experience.
All the best with your adventures and channel. I just stumbled onto it a couple days ago and have been living vicariously through you as I stay at home and care for my 14 year old dog who has cancer. She’s my best mate and I am trying to give her the best care possible.
Cheers. God bless 🙏❤️
Brother u brave there's plenty of YOWIES around there
Nah they have all died off due the drop bears
Hi.
I have no idea what a Yowie is, but since it belongs in Australia I shall asume that it is deadly.
YOWIES are Australian bigfoot or sasquatch:)
@@KyleD I'm guessing YOU have encountered them "Nasty Drop-Bears"-IF they didn't finish you off, they'd be NO Problem to an 8 foot Yowie, huh?
Also watch out for ghosts, Cobba, jokes, looks amazing
Finally, you comment on the Yowie! I have asked numerous times about Australia's large hairy cryptid.
Do you know of any other cryptids besides Yowie? Respect from Newcastle.
@@jamesdiamond3539 In Australia or I’m other parts of the world?
@@Internationallegendtripper have you heard anything about these dogmen in North America?
@@jamesdiamond3539 yes there are reports of these canine cryptids in the all parts of the US
@@Internationallegendtripper are you in Australia mate?
Another great vid Scottie some of those dirt roads you were on remind me of the days when the Newell Hwy was dirt through the Pilliga and the Boggabilla was dirt as well .And if you like to camp on red dirt head Sth West of the Pilliga out west of Parkes to where I use to live in the 70s around Lake Cargelligo it's an interesting area, all the western half of New South Wales is beautiful country and worth visiting. And as for people leaving rubbish that really pisses me off I always leave my camps clean and I have taken heaps of rubbish out of the bush 3 garbage bags from one pigsty some years ago.
I love that you’ve just described Russel Coight to international viewers as a wise man. I hope n pray there’s more than a few that chase up his vids for some wisdom. Great vid brother 🙏🏼 many thanks.
Russell is my dad
@@lukewarm2075 so Glenn Robbins is your dad
@@FxaruAUS nah russell coight is my dads name
The Coight is a national treasure 🤔👍🇦🇺🍻🍻
Don’t tell me you are finally going to admit to hearing stuff in the bush, can’t wait to watch this one. By the way I was unsubscribed for no reason. The Pilliga is famous for yowies.
Oh yeah, had an experience there few years back, terrifying!!
@@sandpaper631 pray tell!! I love Yowie stories. Would you consider making it public? believepod.com/podcast/yowie/ Some really great stories from credible sounding ppl
@@20cosmos20 there's a channel on here that talks to people who've had experiences. I think it's called yowie hunter. And yes, they are out there
@@elizabethscott7660 Thx for the reply, I def believe. I do follow YowieHunters or Australian Yowie Research. I almost died when I found the topic with an Aussie accent, haha. Did you see their thermal images of Yowies? Fascinating!!
@@20cosmos20 yep,their thermal images are as much evidence as you can get,proof that yowies are real. Ive camped and went shooting on private property that backs on to the piliga state forrest-what i saw and heard was enough to keep me from ever camping overnight anywhere near the piliga. Its a beautiful place but its also a scary place at night time in some areas.
Seen a Yowie crossing the highway while we were driving. It crossed the road about 30 metres away . It was carrying a dead kangaroo.
You been on Australian Yowie Witness Reports ?
Another high quality, beautifully filmed video showcasing our amazing country. Loved the soundtracks as well! Thanks Scotty.
You have just won me over, I'm a G&T man too. Picked up the habit when I travelled in Asia. Nothing like a nice iced G&T at the end of a hot tropical day. Mad dogs and Englishmen knew what was good in life.
Cheers mate for another brilliant Scotty's Gone Walkabouts Video. Such a beautiful country we have!
Absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see your puppy camping out with you. And do keep the cooking parts of the video. Cooking with only the basics in the bush is just epic.
Man, what a RIPPER episode you pulled out of your hat this time. I love just EVERYTHING about how you celebrate the Australian Bush. Just wow.
Within a couple of episodes only we started a habit to gather around in the living room, make sure things for the day are settled. Its basically us watching your video(s) as a reward for the day. Big screen, cranked up volumne for the bush birds yelling through our house, mobile phones off and everybody SHUTTY, its Scotts evening.
We've been to Oz four times in our lives (German fellas here), mainly for the people and nature, and especially for the red soil unter our feets. 'Addicted' will probably describe it best. You manage to deliver that exact feeling througout your videos, which is amazing to say the least. Thank you and cheers from one proud Patreon supporter!
Just there two weeks ago. Absolutely beautiful.
Haunted or not, that gorge was so beautiful. ❤
Myself and a mate stayed there one night on our way home from a trip around Australia last month, we stayed at the salt cave camp area and the bush out that way had been heavily affected by the bush fires. But it was good to see the forest recovering and new growth coming through. You explored some beautiful areas. I would like to stay a couple of days next time. Thanks for sharing Scotty and you are a legend # respectthebush
I didn't know you can camp at the salt caves?
@@mcake1234 you can stay anywhere if you don’t get caught
Just watching your face light up when you were in those caves just makes me smile too. good on ya Scotty. Keep those adventures coming and thank you for bringing it to us.
Scotty thanks for making this movie, and the warrumbungles one as well. Until about 5 years ago I used to work as a weedsprayer in both areas, sometimes for weeks at a time, and have always wanted to take my family out there but haven't been able yet. So last night I put both vids on the tv and was able to share these magical places with them. The respect you showed in the video, the drone shots, and your narrative let me show my wife and kids why this place is so special. Thank you legend!
I absolutely loved this video. Thanks for showing us your beautiful homeland. The shots of the caves and the magnificent trees - I just can't fathom the beauty you captured. Thanks for sharing.
Love it dude! Pilliga is such an interesting place! The views at night are absolutely amazing ❤
when r u guys going round 2?
@@adventuredownunder2131 haha not too sure man. Hopefully soon!
Really enjoyed the commentary and stories behind the US trip. It's the stories behind the different pieces of kit we carry that makes them what it is. When you think about, the Aussie Swagman carried their possessions in the bedroll, so that gear would have meant alot and given comfort in times of fear and doubt. You got a good heart for the land, keeping it clean, and respecting our traditional owners of the land. Good on you mate. You are doing this journey well. Thank you. Ivan
Oh I would give anything to be walking the pilligar, always had a calling. Thanks for bringing to our screens the way we want to see it
Your a legend thanks for sharing your video that Pilliga is something else, and picking up all that rubbish was very kind to the bush and animals 👍🏼
You’ve out done yourself on this one Scotty. The views of our beautiful land. Your stories, the cinematography, editing, music selection. I felt like I was watching a modern day layland brothers docco. Truly under appreciated talent. Cheers from Vic.
Scotty, I drove up to Missouri from Texas to see that same eclipse. Definitely something I think everyone should experience. Seeing a partial eclipse doesn't compare to seeing totality.
Love the videos, mate. Keep up the great work!
One of your top vids brother...as far as the rubbish goes...TRASH LEAVES TRASH.
that is a great way to put it, you could turn that in to a tshirt slogan or perhaps sell the idea to the government for an anti litter campaign
Pilliga's pretty cool. Up there last year. Such a great isolated place. Yes I was a bit freaked out also about the yowi and pilliga princess stories. Thanks for sharing.
I am 60 yo. Camped all my life. This is the only camp I moved from because I felt uncomfortable. Didn't see or hear anything, but felt uneasy about something. Such a beautiful place though.
Gorgeous area, thank you for taking us along with ya.
Just what my lockdown needed
Another amazing place. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers from Canada.
Scotty - mate, I've been a fan of yours for a while now. I'm from Papua New Guinea and you've inspired me to make the most of my trips back to the village and document the nature we have here in similar fashion. Would love to have you over up here do some bushwalking as well. Cheers, Oliver
Goodonya mate👍
Loved it Scotty, the bird sounds, the scenery, calling out the vandalism of thousand year old history, but especially the clean up at the end mate, good on ya!
That was awesome. And thank you for cleaning up that mess. As a wheelchair user, I'm often not able to pick up the rubbish I see, but I do leave my bin on the curb for the people who play sports in the park across the road from my house, and anyone else. Sometimes they use it, and I'm happy when they do.
That is so nice of you.
Yep,truck drivers don't like resting along that stretch of the Newell Highway.
I drove my friend and kids in the middle of the night through there.
Never again ,daylight trips only now.
Funny how the road kill doesn't last long there it seems to disappear .
I was driving along and we came across what looked like a camel leg bone stripped and fresh ,it was as long as one side of the road .
We felt like We WERE being followed bush side for quite a while .
Rumor is black panther out that way too ,lol ,circus one escaped.
Very beautiful and interesting place.
Glad you enjoyed it.
All sorts of critters...
Really enjoyed being shown this beautiful place, Thank You. What an incredible planet we have.
Legendary video. My wife and I own a little farm on Dandry Creek (upstream of the gorge) and it’s surrounded by Pilliga National Park. I call it my mental health retreat as I work on the coast and head out every weekend! We absolutely love the Pilliga and on my channel I’ve upload some nice bird videos from the farm. Thanks for the video and the cleanup.
Wow,what an AWESOME place to visit!
Thanks Scotty.👍🏻
Another cracking show. Thanks again.
The level of stoke is oozing in this video mate! Def adding The Pilliga to the must see list. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for such a wonderful presentation of the Pilliga. Whilst I have never been there myself, I lived in Narrabri for 10 months a number of years back and always wanted to head off out there. I think you may have whet my appetite to try and get there sooner rather than later.
such a beautiful part of our wonderful country. great vid as usual scotty Hooroo till next video
Awesome! Love it! Simply brilliant and breathtaking scenes!!
Thanks Scotty for your natural enthusiasm and respect for the outdoors. Your footage and the way your present it is pro. Also you’ve got me hooked on Pat Devlin. Thanks for that! Keep them coming please and thank you.
Thank you, for such a heartfelt story here, the Pilliga my home - it is very special.
I love that you acknowledge the Pilliga Yowie and the Princess Scotty. Thanks for cleaning up the mess, and for bringing the fantastic content.
I’d love to know if you ever run into anything in the bush that you think doesn’t really belong out there, or seems a little unusual. I personally am a believer of Yowies after a couple of strange experiences. I never seen a Yowie, but have heard some strange sounds in the bush that are unexplainable, at least for me, and have felt a presence that has made me feel very uneasy while camping.
Keep up the excellent work, and I hope you receive an Emmy or a Logie some day for your great videos.
Something interesting I learnt the other day that makes a lot of sense is the bush that we know today as we know has changed but so has the tree species
A lot of our bush has been over logged of certain species that have in most places have left higher fire rated trees.
Was a very interesting watch to see how people are introducing native trees that would have been around before our presence to help reduce the fire load
Thanks for another great clip showcasing Australia's Beauty
Love that area. I camped near the Salt Caves last time I was there.
Thanks for bringing back good memories. I must get back there soon.
Hey Scotty!
Loved this viddy, and especially the eclipse story.
I too saw that eclipse! I went down to Oregon from Vancouver Canada with three of my four kids for an epic camp and cookout on a mountain ridge at 6000’ feet! Epic views, epic times, and mostly, an epic memory! That trip changed my life, I fell back in love with the outdoors and I’m now single and on my own now. I plan to buy a sailboat soon and travel the west coast all the way to Alaska with my oldest daughter who was with me on that trip. Thank you for the memory, what a special time that was…
Cheers!
Bryan from Vancouver
Beautiful country - thanks for looking after it.
As always Another wonderful Video. Thank You
Thank you for another great video Scotty and great stories.
Scotty Burns Dinner! Another great vid mate. Thanks heaps.
and breakfast
U got me with that intro speech mate. Your channel improves every time I watch. Good shit.
Thank you Scotty! Absolutely love your content and ethos. It’s so inspiring to see people treat the bush with such dignity and respect. I can’t wait to see you explore more of the country.
P.S You should look into exploring the Gippsland region in Victoria, particularly the Strzelecki Ranges and the Gippsland Lakes (COVID restrictions permitting).
That was awesome and it was nice hanging out in the bush with you. thank you.
Lived whilst working in Baradine for 3 yrs and LOVED the place! It's so beautiful and soothing. Couldn't get out to Warrumbungle national park but explored outskirts between Bara and Bugaldie... definitely gonna head down again to explore it more thoroughly!
Enjoyed your vid and love the fact that you do your research and are so respectful of the land, environment, and its custodians. Well done matey.
Allways love your outlook on life hon, thankyou for your vids😊
Beautiful country, you're so lucky to experience the environment on your own terms. Awesome
Half way in and loving your coverage of the Pilliga. It makes me yearn to get back to my rainforest country in kuku yalanji lands.
Absolutely magnificient!. Good job.
Another great video Scotty you live in paradise
Pilliga is now on my bucket list! Thanks Scot
Shame on those people for leaving so much rubbish behind in such a beautiful country.
And good on you Scotty for cleaning it up.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Great video once again. Love to see the jeep in the videos as well !
Nice pancakes, Scotty 😆 The problem with those Campmaster type butane stoves is they only have two heat settings - "Really Hot" and "Rip-Roaring".
I know what you mean. I found a diffuser in a camping shop (which I had never heard of before) for about $12- which does a great job, definately worth the money.
There are two channels that are at the top of the list to watch. You and We will Roam. Unbelievable footage
Nice to see some other kinds of camping. As always, great video
Magical place Scotty! Shame about the idiots & grubs! And really appreciate you taking the time to clean up after them. That aside, what an amazing forest. Cheers for bringing us along Mate.
I love the bush around there. Must get out there soon when the weather warms up
Epic video Scotty you are a legend my man
Charmed by you, mate. Great photography, great music, but best of all, a great character who loves the landscape- and can bring us into it. Ric
Nice to see someone who doesn't just unwrap a zinger burger at tucker time!
Wow, those caves are fantastic!
That looked awesome.
Great video mate. Love it.🍺🇦🇺👍❤
Good on you for giving back and tidying up the bush after the grubs have been mate, I will start doing the same here in SA, One trip at a time.
Double thumbs up for the coolest plate origin story ever..... Cheers man
Great video! I couldn’t help but think of all the non-Australians watching this and wondering to themselves if half the video was in another language 😂. We love our slang.
Loved the Pilliga adventure. Enjoy your relaxed, natural style doing the vids. I live in America, Wisconsin. Nice that you got to see the eclipse in Oregon. I got a chuckle out of how you thought certain things were "so American" - like people sitting in their lawn chairs waiting for the eclipse. It's interesting to hear what people from other countries think of Americans. Hoo Roo!
I have a gumtree search setup for swags that I check on from time to time. Pretty sure I saw that Winchester come up. Glad that you were able to grab it (felt it was a bit small for me). I have a Saul swag which has heaps of canvas but can be used swagman style. Good trick to deal with condensation is to put a wool blanket between the canvas and your bedding. Will keep you warm and dry.
Great! Looking forward to following you on RUclips 🙏💕🇦🇺
