#4x4 #tracks #4WD
Appreciate that you stopped by that potential camp site and picked up the rubbish. It's absolutely disgusting how some people leave their campsites littered with rubbish. The current culture of Aussie 4x4 camping needs a serious overhaul because it is way to common to pull up to a campsite or along side a track and just see pieces of rubbish laying around. If we don't change our ways, it wouldn't surprise me to see some sort of camping restriction/ban put in place due to how poorly people are treating the wilderness. Some people need to do better, but thank you for making the world a slightly cleaner place 😁
Thank the "gentle" parents that wanna be their friends and not parents 🤦♂️ we do have some young people that have common sense/respect etc like this legands! But its rare
I’m in my mid fifties and I think the 20 something’s are actually far better at looking after our countryside than al lot of my generation and everything in between. Well done on cleaning up.
@@Tom-lf8hx You can be gentle but still teach your child respect. Some people just don't give a crap and sadly it starts with their parents.
Exactly. Well said. It's great you're adding your comment to support their choices. Imagine if everyone did this.
Exactly. Well said. It's awesome you're adding/contributing your support to their choices.
Onya Liam proper Aussie bloke cleaning up after others to look after the bush hats off mate 🍻
Cleaning up litter (left by uneducated grubs) and highlighting your respect for the beautiful places we are currently privileged to be permitted to camp was fantastic. You are leading opinions and educating people in the 4WD community. You are making a difference.
Kudos to you!
Thanks Craig! That means alot! Hope so! Cheers
100% Good on ya fella's this is my type of content not far from home. Just subscribed 👍
Onya boys for the clean-up ..
Exactly. 👍
People need to appreciate and respect the nature by not littering at the camp sites. I feel frustrated seeing rubbish left by campers. We need to take responsibility and ownership of our own rubbish. Thank you Aussie Arvos for the doing the right thing. I hope people will see what you do and do the right thing. The video was informative and fun to watch. 👍
Exactly. Well said. 👍
I randomly went out to my favourite spot on earth and some grub left a broken camp chair. I stopped to grab it just cause I couldn’t go past.
Because I took the extra 5mins out of my time, I was able to meet both Liam and Patrick as they were heading out there after the Fraser trip got to wet.
Long story short, don’t be a shit cunt and pick up rubbish and life rewards u
Sadly we’re in the age of entitlement where common sense & integrity no longer exists.
Props to both of you for cleaning up the bush , you just did yourselves, your families and the 4wd community very proud .. Respect to both of you .. 👏
has to be one of the best camp spots ive seen to !
My my, you young fellas arrived in our homebase, so good to see.
The bridle track of today is a far cry from prior to the rockfall in 2010, it took Bathurst Regional Council a frigging long time to get their act together, but 13 years later it was finally reopened. The whole route was slowly updated as part of the reopening.
The old Monaghans Bluff was the narrowest, highest, portion of track and that's where the rock fall occured. Prior to council amalgamation the previous council responsible (Evans Shire) would have rectified the situation immediately as they'd done in the past, unfortunately the new Regional Council refused to take responsibility for track works, claiming it wasn't in their zone, drips, you've just acquired it through amalgamation.
What you may not have been aware of, you began on the Turon River from Hill End but further along the water flow changed direction as you'd past by the end of the Turon, it terminates where it flows into the Macquarie River coming from Bathurst, you're actually viewing the Macquarie from the new bypass lookout.
The junction point of the rivers can be observed from a clearing immediately out of the huge rock cutting you'd passed through.
Patty, you didn't have to return along the bridle track to get to Bathurst providing the Macquarie wasn't in flood, to retain access to residents council upgraded a trail from Root Hogg Crossing to Bathurst, haha, initially on private land, the land owner waited until he had a glorious new road, then blocked it off to public, took council to court and won, hence council had to contruct a whole new route including fencing bypassing land owners property to access Bathurst.
Oh the money spent initially, then court costs, then a second new road, council could have bypassed Monaghans Bluff twice over initially, if it wasn't so ludicrous you'd laugh.
On the litter front, well done but unfortunately it's probably already littered again, bloody grubs just expect mummy to come by and clean up after them as she does at home.
Most just don't recognise they're doing anything wrong.
I'm always dousing unattended camp fires when passing along trail, if I have space, tske rubbish also, but alas, return a fortnight after and it's just the same. The newer dual cab utes mustn't have carrying capacity anymore, can only take unregistered bikes, carts etc. home, no room for the rubbish they generate, idiots.
Regards, Wealie.
Very informative. Always good to get local information. I'm sure the litterers do recognise that they are doing wrong - they're just scumbags.
As an American I’m happy you think so highly of our nature. Most of it unfortunately doesn’t look like that. Wish it did tho. That looks awesome.
Well done boys!
I did the Bridle Track with my daughter two weeks ago and was appalled by the rubbish being left behind. We collected 3 full bags of other people's stuff.
Bloody disgrace.
Having said that, Council could also help by collecting the wrecked cars which have been dumped (Hogg Root Crossing + one in the river itself further up) as it it almost signals for others to dump their broken awnings and what not.
Great show I enjoyed my mum was born in the goldfields at Ophir in 1927 so this area around Hill End brings back memories we live off off the grid in the bush and love the outdoors done a lot of off road driving in my 74 years high country and beaches so good luck in your travels good to see young fellas having a go keep up the good work.
Thank you for the clean up, it's sad how some people leave places
You guys are just getting better. Great commentry, drone shots, cooking tips, what more do you want.
Keep it up fellas
Thanks craig! means alot mate !
Congratulations on making one of the best Australian 4WD or 4WD touring vidoes ever. Seriously, that is an awesome vid.. Adventure, fun, history, comradery, beautiful scenery, adventure cooking 😆.... Really well filmed and produced...
Thanks Craig! Too kind mate! Appreciate the support!
286kg of gold!!! Wowsers! I did a quick calculation, and in today's money, that nugget would be worth approximately $3,072,212.00. Love camping along the Bridle Track and Macquarie River. Great work on the chicken. 👍
Thanks Hammer Rocks! Yeah a huge score !
$33,524,970 it would be approx at gold being $3,646 a Troy ounce which equates that nugget being 9195.11 Troy ounce.
Troy ounce are used to weigh precious gems and metals.
It wasn't all gold. "Only" 93.2kg of gold. Worth $10.9M today. Just enough to cover your fuel for trip
@@TradieBET-we6oq 🤣
Thanks a lot boys for once again showing us that off roading isnt just smash and bash that seems to be the trend these days. Most of your trips are within the grasp of most people with an average 4x4 and camping gear. There is so much to see in our country and you fellas are showing us just how easy it is to get out there without all the expensive accessories that we think we need. Also love the easy recipies you fellas present to us. Also honest on whose original recipies they are but showing your spin on them. Well done
Cheers.....Pete
That's why tracks , camping area gets closed down for a few people can't or to lazy to take rubbish away.
Thank U. Great area.
Wow this was so sick! I spent 2 terms at school learning about this so it's amazing to see the 4 weel
drive tracks
Top quality Aussie young blokes and good on you for taking the litter. Australia is the best place on earth and deserves more people like you blokes, Cheers!
Great episode guys love you to do more like this we dont all like to do hard 4wding but love to explore our historic towns and country side.
I need to say your touring videos like this one are so good every time I see one I immediately want to go there and add it to my list. Thank you!
Cheers Nathan!
Incredible video guys. Appreciate seeing you leave a site better than you found it. If we all had the same mentality our camp lives would be a little better for everyone
Best part of the canopy set up would be that TT patch I reckon 😉
Love the exploring content! Life hack for crispy cooking - get a rack to drip the chicken rather than paper towel. The paper towel will basically steam the coating as it’s cooling and make it soggy ✌️😎
these guys are fast becoming the best 4wd channel on CZcams
Brilliant video, a new track to me! Great cook up!
Keep the videos going lads!!!!
You want to increase your warmth around the campfire. Old wollen blanket made into a cloak. Who cares what it looks like as long as you are warm. You can throw on bed to warm it up. Baby nappy pins. Check on CZcams. Tip 2: Make a gas stove wind break. Put it at the back of the campfire. When it heats up, it becomes a chimney and throws the heat back.
Mad episode lads and props for cleaning up. People can be absolute grubs, need more like yourselves
Honestly the most underrated channel on CZcams!! So bloody sick
Thanks mate
@@AussieArvos keep it up , killing it !🤟🏿
Loving the the edit style...going pro!! Just look at the views!! Super cool story...
Ps. I slip a sheet cut off from thermal wall building insulation under my swag matress...the foil and foam stuff( approx 9mm) to stop the cold creeping up into the swag during winter.
Enjoy the touring.
Well done on the clean up boys. Hats off to ya.
Good on you for collecting rubbish. I hate seeing it in the bush too but picking up other people's shit (literally sometimes) is better than trying to drive past or trying to forget about it. Thanks for sharing
Absolute respect for how you guys treat and respect this land. And it’s quite easy to see that you guys ain’t doing it for the likes. It’s actually genuine. Hope more people will watch and start doing it! ❤
Great fried chicken recipe, Coles and Woolies sell Butter Milk in the milk section. You can get the MSG from a Chinese food shop.
You chaps are awesome👍👍👍cleaning up after those lazy C…..
I really enjoy your fourby exploits combined with local history , in this great country for all of us to experience and appreciate and keep it clean and tidy.
Well done!!
Good on you for cleaning up.
I followed a group of Lebs out that way leaving a trail of garbage bags through the bush, I couldn't believe they would do that.
Nice work gents. Its good you've done Bridal Track now, as I feel with its increased in popularity, it will start to deteriorate, and sadly this also means more campers/4WDer with bad behaviour will use it. It's disappointing to see how much more rubbish is being left behind lately. In the past two years I've gone there, I've always had to clean the camp sites I've been on due to poor behaviour of others. From bottle/cans on firepit, bottle caps & plastics. C'mon peeps, leave it better than you found it. Good onya for cleaning up what you can. ✊👍
Bridle not bridal. 🙈
@@grahameroberts8109 Typo
Well done Patty and Liam. Appreciate your good work !
Great episode lads 🙌 added to the bucket list
Thanks guys!
What a couple of nice young blokes out there restoring faith in humanity! Top job cleaning up that mess others left behind. I've never bought back that amount of others' trash but also clean up mess that I find along the way and go with the idea of making the bush cleaner than how I find it.
Keep up the great work and videos!
Bloody love that you stopped to pick up "SOMEONE ELSES" rubbish!!! You didn't have too, but you did. It's things like this that will shut us out 😞 People please pick up after yourselves, it really not that hard. One of my biggest pet hates out there!
Enjoy your travels fellas 🙂
Loved the vid boys. My wife and I were there a couple weeks ago on a trip from Brissie. Loved it. As well as The Bridle Track, Hill End, Sofala we also camped a couple nights at Glen Davis camp ground. About 30 mins from the Capertee pub up against the Gardens of Stone Conservation area. Cool camp ground with free showers and toilets and very interesting history of the old Shale Oil refinery and ruins. Put that one on your list next time you visit.
Good on you boys always leave a campsite better than you found it love❤
Just stumbled across this Channel. Bloody ripper. There seems to be a point where commercialisation takes over these travelling channels and it’s like watching an exploring plug and play for the sponsors and less about the actual environments.
For extra crunchy crumb, after the flour then egg then flour, repeat so it’s done twice and it’ll build an awesome extra layer 👍
Thanks 'Colonel Sanders'!!
On this topic, I had good results using kefir yoghurt, when there was no buttermilk. Also, it's better with a dash of allspice or chinese five spice. More is not better so use caution. If you can identify it in the finished product, it was too much.
Big Respect Guys
You are my heroes
Awesome seeing you guys doing the tracks we did as kids.
Passing the torch hey.
Watching you guys grow up from kids to adults and grow and mature and gain so many skills has been awesome.
Won’t be long till you all are taking your kids out on these adventures.
Really enjoyed the extra bits of history and storytelling in this one, good stuff!
Thanks Robert!
Sweet episode boys! thanks for cleaning up after the assholes who don't seem to give a toss
When I see you guys operating,
then the future looks brighter
One track I am yet to do but have been wanting to do for some time. Hopefully it will be happening before long. Great video guys and loved the history of the town. Also great job cleaning up that rubbish. I still don't get why people use wet wipes in the bush, a roll of normal dunny paper is just as easy to carry and breaks down better. Doing their business so close tot he river as well is just disgusting. Thank you from all 4wders for cleaning it up.
We need to respect the bush well done Liam
Another great trip away, love watching your video's and your cooking segments are awesome the chicken 🤤🤤🤤 and the steak and chips you even made the broccoli look good. 😋😋😋
Thanks mate! Means alot!
Thanks guys, I'm hooked from the chicken to the history. Thanks for your views of the bridle track as well as Hill end and sofala. Cheers boys.
Awesome to see guys I’ve been following for a while cruising on my home tracks. As for the rubbish, as far as I know a lot of the areas along the bridle track is still privately owned. We have lost access to a few places out this way because people would dump gazebos and rubbish on leaving camp. Hopefully the mindset of leaving these beautiful places filthy starts to change soon before they are all gone.
Awesome trip guys , and a fantastic video, loved the way you guys presented that one . Unfortunately there is a lot of people that think its ok to leave there campsite disgusting and also going to the toilet next to the river , who thinks thats ok 🤦♂️? But we will never understand that element of people and a big thanks for getting in there and cleaning up what you could that’s awesome 👍👍.
I was out that way a few weeks ago and it's absolutely beautiful!
It sucks that we have to clean up after those who don't respect our country. These are pigs that were bred, born and raised here and still don't appreciate it!
Thank you your efforts boys!
Great videos guys. Such a beautiful place within NSW. Thank you for stopping to take the time to clean up after the grubs out there.
Those people should be ashamed and are who contribute to places being closed off.
awesome video guys !! great to set a good example to others about picking up other peoples rubbish.... disgusting for people to leave that kind of rubbish behind, great stuff...
Monaghan's Bluff, that was a hair raising bit!
Flash Back....
Back in the 90's, drove the bridle track from Bathurst to Hill End.... In an old Holden Kingswood (HK)..
Around the same time, an aunt and uncle followed us out to Bruinbun, in an old Toyota Corona.
Today, everyone believes you need a 4x4 to drive any track that's dirt.. 😅🤦♂️
Bloody easy track to drive the new section is fantastic. Some excellent crossings as well. We have seen cars doing the track when it's dry and the river level is low.
That's one thing we hate as well when people leave there rubbish everywhere.
You guys do such a great job at producing top quality 4x4 and build vids, good on you both, top marks from me.
Thanks Kenneth, we really appreciate the support!
Good job cleaning up the rubbish left by PIGS. One statement you made was we always eat better here than home and that is so true, it always tastes better when your in the bush camping. Great series guys, it was nice meeting you at Dargo pub / camping ground.
You guys missed the best part of the Turon, wallaby rocks to coles bridge track. I’ve done it over a dozen times. It never gets old and is always different with the changing river bed. Highly recommend!!
Hey boys, great video, and it comes. Your swag and stretcher can't go wrong. I'm an old bloke who spent 30 days in a swag going up the cape last year and sleeping beautifully every night. Do you self a favour by yourself a quality stretcher?
Nugget would be worth $33,524,970 approx, at gold being $3,646 a Troy ounce which equates that nugget being 9195.11 Troy ounce.
Troy ounce are used to weigh precious gems and metals.
You can find butter milk in the milk section of most supermarkets, it's the best way to prep for fried chicken
Drove it in reverse from Bathurst nearly 40 years ago. Driving my wife's Suzuki Stockman which we'd driven up from Sydney in the early morning.
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.
Fantastic episode guys, I really enjoy seeing the old buildings that have been preserved so well.
People who litter like that should be banned immediately from ever returning. Such a disgusting habit.
Looking forward to next weeks episode! 👍🏻😄
I live In hill end thank you for showing the town in a meaningful way. Also thank you for cleaning up the campsites
Well done boys. Harry would have been proud and good on ya for picking up the rubbish. Keep doing these type of adventures.
Awesome content guys! Thanks for showing us this amazing part of Australia. And good job on cleaning that camp site 👍👍
Quality video. Very informative too. Well done on the cleanup. Legend. Thanks 👍
Thanks mate!
Salmon paella 😂 that caught me off guard. Awesome vid!
You guys are absolute legends... I always love your vids.... Good on you for cleaning up that camp site... The more that people see actions like yours the more likely they are to also help clean up after the grubs, and hopefully encourage better behaviour from others.
Thanks Doug , really appreciate the support!
20:30 you guys were great before and even more so now for having done that and spreading the message that this kind of behaviour isn't ok. well done lads
Subscribed because of your care for the camping spots
Awesome stuff guys!👍 That whole area is my backyard. Yep, I’m very lucky!😁 Good on u for cleaning up after those grubs too!👍
Well done guys, youre a credit to yourselves and your influencers in life! Glad you enjoyed the area and that your getting out and having a go! Much better than playing game boys etc!
I'm in my 70s and enjoy getting out. Two of us road our GSs along there after doing the Aussie High Country BM Safari in 2018. We managed to squeeze past the rock fall.
Proud of your clean up efforts; have a look for some pinch tongs to pick things up and stay clean. Well done 💯✅
The drone shots are unreal well done
Awesome for showing and explaining the history of our Aussie past... Also for picking up other people's rubbish.. can't believe people do that 🤔
Great video.
Thanks Wolf!
Great clip as always guys. I love the area out around Sofala and Hill End, been out there a heap of times and I’m looking forward to going back again soon. I wanted to do the bridal track for a long time now, however, just waiting for all the hype to die down as it’s not long reopened.
And yes, unfortunately a minority of grubs wreck it for all by leaving their rubbish behind for the decent people to pick up after them. I just camped in Marrangaroo National Park and spent 1/2 of the first day there cleaning up after other parasites, it really makes my blood boil, and it’s hard not to rant about it because it’s something I’m so passionate about.
Keep up the good work, I love your stuff, well done 👍🤜🤛
Always appreciate the effort Liam puts into cooking up so amazing food. You boys really go all out. Great to see. Greetings from South Africa, really love your channels content.
High quality editing and presenting well done
A blower is great, my makita one goes everywhere. Handy for air mattresses too(filling and emptying). But yeah, as you have found, fire cheat-code :). Great vid!
Thanks boys I gave the recipe a go last night and came up a treat 😋
Good job on the clean up boys, there's some grubs out there
Rice flour guys once you use that you will have amazing results, I'm here all week. Appreciate a hat in the post 😂
I need to do this trip.
Great work all around, especially picking up the rubbish that some grubs left behind 👍👍👍
Perfect timing before work . Have sick weekend boys
Thanks for a great video and for cleaning up after others .
LADS!!! Awesome video, you guys have totally nailed this! I've done the Bridle with some mates and it was brilliant seeing you guys take the track!
That first night feast looked amazing too, solid feed for sure!!
Great video, will be subscribing for sure!!
Great video Lads!!!!!!!! Your content is so well balanced, and you guys are doing a fantastic job!!!!!!! Keep it up
Here is a little hack with the blower. If it has a progressive trigger then get a hose clamp and wack it around the trigger and now you can dail in exactly how much air you want for your fire
Awesome ep guys loved it...Cheers
That was awesome. Super professional filming, editing and delivery. Felt like i was watching Getaway. Thanks for cleaning up, mate. Love the chicken!
Thanks mate. Well presented, and informative. 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Seeing you guys clean up that camp site that others had left in a disgusting mess, made me instantly like and subscribe your channel. Well done fellas for setting such a great example for your viewers.
It's nice to see younger wheelers clean up after the people who left a mess. :)
