- This is one of our favourite camps so far. Just outside of Innamincka on the Cooper Creek is an incredible low-cost bush camping area.
We've setup on the Cooper to explore Innamincka and the surrounding area. $2 showers and a pub lunch at the Innamincka Hotel were a great way to kick things off!
Just out of town we find the site's where Burke and Wills came to grief and learn a little more about the story of their expedition.
Road closures meant that we weren't able to head out of town as we had hoped but the alternative route was incredible.
We take a look around the historical Cordillo Downs station before finding a remote campsite without another person for miles around us.
You can always see what else we're up to by following us on Facebook and Instagram (links below). See you next Sunday!

Not only is he a gorgeous specimen of a man, he is the one, the only, BUSH JESUS! able to part that wavy sea of locks with but a flick of his mighty hand :p ... love the vids guys, hope you keep them coming :)
Wow! I don't even know what to say to this one. Mum, is that you? 😆 Thanks for the feedback, made my day! 🍺
I enjoy your vids. I agree with you on Bourke, explorer yes but also a fool. You realise travelling what a pristine country Australia was before us whites settled here. The indigenous population had a paradise. I really enjoy the history you share with us. What a great family you have. Thanks fire sharing your adventures.
Cheers Ken, glad you're enjoying the vids.
Gold! Absolutely gold! Just discovered you guys recently so you have gone from non existent to one of our favourite CZcamsrs. Love the way you share the journey plus some interesting facts and information. We’re planning a lap in 2023 and many of the things that you like strike a chord with us. Please stay true to yourselves!
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss anything!

Fly policy excellent! Cracked me up. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching, Peter.
I was up there in march. We camped in pretty well the same place you are at .In fact it could very well be the same place .We are going bsck in next march on our way thru to birdsville and are going to stay there 2 or 3 days this time Its lovely up there.
That's awesome 👌 We'll be back some day as well. One of our favourites 😍
Great video. Think you need to invest in a couple of fly nets 😀
Thanks, Jo. They don't bother you after a while and the nets annoy me more than the flies to be honest. Each to their own I guess.
Thanks again really enjoying watching you and easing this lockdown blues,thanks
Glad you enjoy it, Ray! Thanks for watching!
I’m late to your series guys. But I just wanted to say I really enjoy the videos I have watched so far. Great stuff. I’m looking forward to watching more of them.
Welcome aboard! Better late than never 😉 Glad to hear you're enjoying the vids 👍
I'm wondering myself how a pelican knows when a dry lake bed fills up. haha
BTW, great expression of thoughts throughout your vids.
Right?! I'm really keen to find out
You guys do a great job with your videos with lots of great information about the places you go. Keep up the great work and look forward to more updates. Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🌴
Thanks so much, Keith!
Looks awesome!
Thanks mate 🍺
Just come across your channel and subscribed straight away your a true Aussie well done we might cross paths one day on the back roads cheers mate 👍🍻🇦🇺
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Just found your channel so I'm running behind. Had a laugh when you complained about $1.90 liter for fuel. 5 months latter were paying $2.30 in northern nsw
Welcome aboard, Stuart! It's amazing how your perspective on fuel prices can change in such a short time 😂
Check out McDougal Stuart’s story, a truely extraordinary story and he got little recognition. On his 6th attempt he made it back to Adelaide and mapped the Overland Telegraph line thru to Darwin and closely tracks the Stuart Highway
Thanks for the tip, we'll check it out 👍
Gorgeous locks mate 😂
😆
Years ago, remember seeing an article probably Courier Mail Brisbane ... after lake Eyre filled after many years dry.
That pellies rose in the thermals around the Tweed flying direct to L.H. compliments of various thermals. Though imagine they would have stopped off along the way.. In the 60's Corella lake on Barkly Tablelands was a known rookery flying from east coast to nest.
Guess a little like the turtles..then all nature even us humans have survival gifts.
Nature sure is fascinating and mysterious at times, Denis 👍
You look gorgeous with your hat hair 😁
Great vid 👍
Thank you!! 😊
Don’t forget to check your wheel nuts on your Ford ranger and caravan from time to time ,
Good tip, thanks Barry! 🙌
big thumbs up and for Russel Coight
Nice vid I love the outback, the wife not so much. Hope you let us know what goes wrong with the Zone if anything no matter how small they are a premium van like the Kedrons and others.We are thinking purchasing one in the future if we can so am relying on CZcams videos like yours in deciding which one. Enjoy you trip will be watching with interest.👍
Will do Raiman, thanks for the feedback 🙌
James making a beeline for cow poo - classic
Yep, I don't even bother trying to stop him anymore 😆
Love your vids. Would love to know who that artist/music is that you use for recap at beginning of your episodes.
Cheers. All our music is licensed through Epidemic Sound.
😊👍
Enjoyed this…Doing this track / trip in a van - did you feel the need to lower tyre pressures etc or just drive at that 65-80 like you said.
We might've failed to mention it in this one, but we always lower pressures in the car and van when we hit the dirt
Flies would drive me insane! My experience of Australian Flies is that lots of them want to eat you as well.
Just a bit of extra protein mate 😉
