    I just love the Pilbara. I think anyone who has spent any time there will be able to feel the aeons of time that the place has existed. The Kimberley may be more spectacular but the Pilbara is my spirit land. Every time I go up there I can feel it speaking to my soul. Great video.

    Man you boys know how to put a vid together!!! Bringing the great pilbara into our living rooms, studies, nooks and the shitter. Sad to see the lack of bush chooks though...

      I think the reason you didn't see the chook is just because I'd drank most of the slab already 😂

    From 32:00 absolute stunning photography. Wow! We live in a beautiful country.
    When going for a walk, take a backpack, shove some water in there. Take a real compass too ($4 for a simple unit on ebay and the compass I have is good for 2 deg.). Phones are fun, but rely on batts. My policy with water is 1/3rd out for 2/3rds back. Definite, you'll be thirstier back than out. Jack Absalom was a good man. He even published a bush cook-book which is a nice one. 'Outback Cooking in the Camp Oven', got one here. Lake Frome Kangaroo Braise is one on page 46, very tasty. Pub. in 1982 and sev. times after that. Out of print now I suppose. I always carry 2 or 3 cast camp ovens. Cook anything in them according to Jack and he does.

    • @Alex.G
      @Alex.G  Před 5 lety +1

      That's right! I seem to recall him saying he used to be a cook on some remote stations around the place?

      @gortnewton4765 Před 5 lety

      @@Alex.G I recall that too and I have the feeling he started as a baker or his dad did. On one of his TV programs he demonstrated how to start and run an ignition-coil basic car (no computers) with no 12 Volt car battery. He used a few torch batteries (C-cells, of course each 1.5 volts, applied to the coil) and jacked up the left-hand back wheel, put the car into gear (manual only for this) and rotated the wheel with the ignition on. Engine started. You should have seen the huge grin he had on his face! He was a great man. Do you know if he is still going? I hope so. A bit of a dream might be to see you interview him if he's on your side of the country. Love your program. The photography is superb.

      By the way, your images are so good, you might think of printing and publishing them as prints. And few Australians see what you see. Think of how beautiful and powerful it is, the things you see.

      GPS all the way with offline mapping.

    I also have a 3ltr patrol and I've never had mine make any kind of turbo flutter at all unlike like yours seems to, especially at 29:10 Is your patrol running all standard parts besides the exhaust?

    • @Alex.G
      @Alex.G  Před 5 lety

      Thats interesting....It is all standard except for the exhaust, and DAWS valve anti grenade kit. I suppose the anti grenade setup MIGHT have something to do with it? But really, it didn't make that fluttering sound until the snorkel went on.

    Interesting trip but the audio in the truck is terrible. You need to stop the motor or get better noise cancelling microphones, or something, really distracts from what is otherwise a well done video and interesting trip.
