When Milo blew her grey import 13BT motor after about 200,000km, I spent time down in Victoria at Terrain Tamer where Alan Gray and the mechanics totally rebuilt, balanced and blue printed the little dump truck engine. This was the first trip out, a 'breaking in' trip from Brisbane down to Coffin Bay on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, about four hundred Kms west of Adelaide, where we did some excellent four wheeling around the sand tracks and beaches of this wild bit of coast. By the time I got home Milo's new donk had clocked a tad over 10,000km.
Yep, plenty of everything except people. This part of Australia isn't well known but it's the home of the some of the world's best seafood as well as some of the worst beach bogging ever. Yep, what with soft sand dunes to swallow trucks and quick sand on the beach that can leave you stranded as the tide comes in, it's no place to take it easy.
I was lucky to do the trip with some awesome people from the Summer Tracks 4WD club, some of whom have become mates for life since then. In this footage you'll see something very unusual, somebody else doing bush fixes on the truck! Dave Griffin is still one of those mechanics I call when I need advice - amazing bloke on the tools!
Righto, settle in, grab a Coopers ale, imagine how good some fresh scallops could taste, and enjoy Coffin Bay - then maybe plan a trip over there yourself!

Thanks once again for that awesome trip roothy it was the best.
My wife and i always loved the eyre peninsular, don't forget to try the oysters and heaps of cool sleepy coastal towns to stop into

Yep, it's an awesome bit of Aussie that most people don't know about eh!
Good shit Roothy 👍
Roothy, ya drivin in saltwater. I was surprised.
Absolutely beautiful. I'm going to try cooking that meal in my upcoming camp.
On ya mate - and I did it without a beer....
That curry was great .. Little tip from a chef . Cook the prawns or whatever seafood first then put them back in at the end 👍
Thanks
I'll try that - save the sdeafood from being overcooked I guess?
Don’t drive near the water line in SA. I nearly learned that the hard way. Luckily I got a snatch out after a few tense minutes with the tide coming in. Coming from Qld/NSW beach driving it caught me out, only afterwards I googled it and found out the hidden danger. Also didn’t help that the rental pressure gauge was reading 10psi to low, I thought I was at 15psi when it actually was at 25psi... only found that out when I was airing up.
Good point mate - really good point!
great channel .. just stumbled across you : )
I was oyster farmer at.smoky Bay still own a house in Ceduna good spot for squid you should check.out point brown just down the road
Red cans the best beer in oz
Nah, yellow in Qld, red in SA, blue in NSW and Green up the top end - and maybe red in WA too, green in Tassie - oh so much beer, so little time.
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHYbush chooks over here in wa
sorry 719 km from Adelaide, I thought you may have said 400kms, I have done this trip a few hundred times, great drive
Yep you're right - I should never rely on this memory.... too many miles getting shaken up!
The Wallaroo Ferry is back, it cuts a ton of K's off the trip
i overtook you on the new england hwy just south of Guyra about 13 years ago, you in Milo me in my Patrol. i remember it like it was yesterday. Mind you you didnt look to impressed.
Sorry Tim, might have been heading home and tired - no excuse otherwise! That bit of the Newie is a favourite of mine for fifty years.
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY Never mind, i was alot younger then and drove like an idiot. So i was very familiar with the disaproving glances from people while driving😀. It never stopped me buying the magazine/DVD, following unlock aus, watching low range/Dustemup tv,seeing Milo go to the museum and watching your YT channel of course.
Thanks for the hard work and years of entertainment.👍
Loved every
Minute of it. Thanks Tim.
Two days after driving in the water the Toyota rusted away
G Marshall not true mate. Thanks to regular Lanotec Milo never got any rustier - the body wore out from
Metal fatigue tho. 👍
