From one incredible off grid campsite to another as we continue our adventure through the West Macdonnell Ranges.
We leave the Hugh River camp and head to Serpentine Gorge for an epic view from the top lookout. We meet a travelling family who gives us a tip for another great free camp just down the road.
Setting off in search of the Finke 2 Mile campsite, we find a great spot right on the bank of the river. It's a cracking campsite and will be home for us for a couple of nights.
The following day we tackle the Ochre Pits and the incredible colours that can be found in this area. Liz is in heaven here as she explores the array of natural ochres and dreams about the art she could create.
Back in the car and it's off to Ormiston Gorge. We tackle the Ghost Gum loop, but with a twist. After a challenging but rewarding rock scramble and getting our feet wet we are rewarded with incredible views from deep in the gorge. Returning along the western side of the gorge via the lookout before descending the stairs back to the car park.
Join us next Sunday as we venture further off into the West Macdonnell Ranges.

Beautiful, there’s something about your videos that makes me feel like I’m there 🙏🙏🙏
Wow, thank you
Fantastic videos guys , natural , family orientated and just living, you've nailed it! Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for making my nights relaxing watching your beautiful family touring around Australia. Cheers 👍😃
Our pleasure, Wayne!
Another great video
Oh that yellow in the Ochre Pit, amazing. Really enjoying the outback with you guys and love the sense of humour and how relaxed you guys are in front of the camera. And those cute kidlets
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the kind words 🙌
You guy's are great you are just so passionate about the outback which is the best part of our vast country.
So glad you're enjoying it, Garry. 👍
Wonderfully shot and narrated by you both. So natural and heartfelt comments. Loved it. We were there only 2 maybe 3 weeks ago and I have to say it is definitely one of my favs. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us all.
Cheers Jim, really appreciate your kind words. It certainly is a special part of the country 👍
Pool noodles work a treat to float around in there, great on a hot day
I can imagine they would be, John. There was no chance we were getting in when we were there 😬
Very good comments did all that with my family back in 1975 😊👍🇦🇺
Cheers, John.
Enjoyed, beautiful spots, I made the mistake of walking the wrong way to a waterfall, Climbing out up over a hundred stairs was to much for an older fellow like me, Was passed by two older ladies, so embarrassing. They asked me was I ok, I said no , but I recovered just enough to get to the top. I was a tuff country boy once. 🐎😀🤠🇦🇺
Oh no! What an experience 😆
Haha loved your Camel story. We had a similar one at Loyalty Beach , the missus woke me up at 3am to say someone is trying to get into our camper trailer. When I unzipped the door there was a huge horse under the awning…. Not sure who was more scared as the horse bolted🤣🤣🤣
Nothing quite like being woken by a paranoid wife 😆
Loving the episodes guys!! Inspiring stuff. The only drama ive been having is the transition from voice audio to the music... the music is real loud and you guys are soft so im constantly turning the volume up to hear you guys then down for the music with the wife yelling " can you turn the telly down!!" Lol all good though maybe its my TV. Is anyone else finding this?
Keep up the great job guys cant wait for the next one
Thanks Brian. We'll look into it the audio levels. Glad you're enjoying them though
Very cute super model 💕😂😂 you guys are great 🥂🥂
Lovin' the bloopers
Cheers Tracy 👍

Thanks so much pioneers 👏🏻, a place I didn’t know anything about till your last couple of episodes but now it’s a place I want to visit

Great to hear, and you're welcome. We were there a couple of months ago (our CZcams is a little behind, if you want more up to date info on what we're up to check us out on instagram @thelifestylepioneers)
Another great video. Many years ago we visited this brilliant area and so it was a real memory jogger. The drone footage and the GoPro (?) is wonderful. Safe travels.

I enjoy watching your videos, my only thing is the music is so much louder than your voices. Scenery is this one was awesome. Looking forward to visiting that area again once the borders open freely.

Such fun to follow so down to earth. Be great if you could just make the music a little lower so not reaching for the volume. Awesome job loving your humour 😂😂😁
Thanks Peter. We'll take your feedback on board.
We are really enjoying your travels!!! This one had some epic camps:D Thanks guys
Thanks for watching!
Watching you carrying the kids up the slope brought back so many fond memories of doing the same with ours. 🙂 The tracks ar a great improvement since I was last at Ormiston gorge. Loving your videos.
That is awesome, Cheryl!
We really enjoy your videos and your exploration of outback places. On one of your earlier ones (exterior of the Zone) you showed your mechanical jack stand. Could you please provide details of the make as it is something in which we are interested?
Thanks, Lee. The Jack stand is standard fitment on a Zone, I'm not sure what brand they are, sorry.
Great quality camera work guys. Can you give me the details of who sings the opening tune in your vids please ?
Thanks Ray! The song is Venetian Blinds by Mattias Tell 👍
@@TheLifestylePioneers Thanks
Another great viv,will be waiting to see this Sundays episode.You mentioned the battery charge rate was great. Just a querying on the solar powers system you picked / ie total panel watts,battery,invertor,tristar manager dc2dc system etc ( basically what did you opt for your style of camping ).We have a trip planned to visit Zone in Jan 2022 already paid deposit not seeing van yet.
great work thanks
Thanks Derek (the latest episoide is out today). We've done an interior walk-through video on our channel which should answer a lot of your questions. In short we have 400ah lithium, 720W solar, 2600w inverter, Enerdrive AC and DC chargers and Tristar solar controller. 👍
Even I know that's Harrison's shirt
There's a difference between knowing and caring I think 😆
You got footage of that bloke didn't you. For the unseen footage Video....
No one wants that 😆
