**Thanks For Watching This Video**
I grew up in the back of a troopy, with my 6 brothers. 9 people in total, my parents went from NSW to WA in it. It is why I love them
My fav storyteller, movie maker and adventure.
I’ve never had an opening touch me like this before today. It actually spoke to me on the inside. It captured the absolute essence of why I explore and why folks like us do these adventures. Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos. 🙏
I love your soundtracks, knack of telling stories through research, talented scenic choices and gift of the garb.
Thank you for the re-release. Thank you for making a FREE 1.5 hours long video for everyone to enjoy!

Just kidding, but for real, people like this deserve financial support from Patreons. Think about it for a moment, just the fuel costs and things like replacing worn out tires, it is serious money. If you can afford helping him, and if he really has this Patreon option, please think about it.
"The only people will really want to cause you harm, all staying in Canberra" LOL!!!
One of my top 3 favorites channels on CZcams I love Andrews work
Kate takes after her mother and you’re a lucky man to have such an relationship with your child. Excellent presentation in spite of the flys.
Might have something to do with 20 odd years of parenting too mate? credit where its due hey
Kate is amazing! Strong as her mum!
Australia definitely a must for offroaders and overlanding! Beautiful land.
Too bad Australian's can't travel around Australia anymore.
@@Robert-cu9bm Why?
@@stasn3715
Because the borders were and some still are shut
If you don’t turn around to admire you vehicle after you’ve parked it, you’ve bought the wrong vehicle.
Yessssssss! Thank you for proving my point. Its why I got rid of the Dream Tourer!
@@4xoverland I tend to not hold onto a vehicle for too long if that feeling isn’t there either.
How truely true this is , I love my 79 so dam much, I usually have to refrain from talking about it to every stranger or Tom , dick or Harry that passes buy .
Most of them listen with great gusto and then at the finally of my heavily rehearsed , scripted ramble they politely inquire,
🤔 ummm what is a 79series !
😳😒.oh well !
Yes I do this with my 3rd 4Runner here in the U.S.
@@jaymoar3561 funnily enough, I’ve got a 2nd gen 4Runner
I really enjoy this long format. The way you string the episodes together has greatly improved and is now seamless becoming first rate feature lenght films. Well done.
I am from Namibia Andrew, and I COMPLETELY understand the fascination with the "nothing-ness". It is in thát nothingness that you find something : YOURSELF
Profound
Absolutely agree. I have driven the Nullarbor several times, both ways, and never tire if it. Just great viewing and thinking time. Would love to visit Namibia.
Thank you for this video. I love Australia and it’s ability to make you realise how beautiful the natural world can be, even beauty can be found in the almost lifeless looking places. Makes me want pack up and head off myself if only I had the time and a vehicle to do it in.
ASPW is without a doubt one of the best 4WD/touring/camping storytellers currently on YT... period
Congratulations for this excellent result. What a joy to be able to “visit” Australia while being roughly on the antipodes of it! Thank you so much to make it possible.
Greetings from Portugal!
I chuckled every time Paul opened that tent... Thank you Kate! Great film Andrew!
Certainly your daughter adds an amusement value and great coverage of a fantastic trip. Thankyou
.
As an ex-Aussie who now lives in London (UK) I miss Nutrigrain - so much so I’ve been known to get it sent to me on several occasions.
I love your videos. It is just plain honest and not into commercialism. Please do make more of these
what an excellent feature length production !! I learnt alot along the way . definitely felt as if I was traveling there with you ! great to watch and see !!
Many years ago we used to have a TV show called ask the Leyland brothers and Mike and Mel who were brothers which done many Australian documentaries and one of them was east to west. And when they spotted they got a bottle of water from the Pacific ocean and carried it all the way to Western Australia where they bought it into the Indian Ocean
Mums genes are strong and delightful what a lovely little lady Kate is , thank you Andrew this episode was my favourite buy far can’t wait to watch part two.
I love this presentation!!! thank you so much for sharing the adventure. Cheers, Grant.
This is my favorite of all of your builds. It just hits the aesthetically pleasing spot
Absolutely beautiful content. I’m so thankful you take the time to share these videos with us. Such a story telling. Thank you.
Thou art with me down all the days. 🙏😔❤️
Whenever I go out to the outback even locally I always carry a couple of cans of Bushman insect repellent. And just tell Kate next time don't worry about the Flies as each fly is equivalent to 1 protein.😂😂
How you present and engage your audience is awesome. You can do without any video support. I can listen to your talk on radio too!
Thank you so much 🙂
I once counted 128 carriers on a freight train passing thru Nashville, TN. It literally took 25 mins to pass thru slowly.
There's Troopy entertainment, me happy.
I'm like you, I don't like being around people either but get lonely when I'm alone hiking and camping. I just found your channel and subscribed.
16:08 The CWTZ is a compromise between Adelaide and Perth time and was created for the Eucla telegraph station and surrounding areas. Also, Nepal uses a 45min offset time zone.
This is what I love to see.
Keep putting these out
I used to frequently look back at my car to appreciate its beauty but now because it's MATANTA I do it no more or else I'll see falling parts. Cheers Andrew
I've had to do the same driving procedure to get rid of mosquitos, black flies and horse flies in mid-northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Don't get me wrong I was a big fan of the Aussie dream tourer! But after watching this series again... That troopy is truly an amazing overlander I forgot how much I love it! Can't wait to see how the new one turns out 👍
Completely understand the statement you made at the 20 minute mark - travelling alone is bitter sweet
😂 got to love the bush lollies great protein 😂 fly nets our the only thing keeping you sane !
I've just watched and loved part 1, thank you very much for showing it to us.
well i did what have done with a 65 Holden sedan, with a winch attached. I had luxury, a 2 person tent, carried everything from water to 3 spare wheels. A few years later in a land cruiser FJ45 I did the gun barrel high way,,, look it up. Your trip is luxury, absolute luxury. Carried 60 liters extra fuel in cans,,, this was in the late 1970's. You have no idea. However, thanks for visiting and advertising my beautiful country.
If you document the first fifteen minutes some stalker would be able to track back to your home. DON'T DO IT
I've moved. And you are right. One did and broke into my workshop and stole stuff.
Yeah, Aussies all came to Australia, because the British did not really want them. Makes you wonder about nurture or nature, when posting a video STILL wakes the thieves up. Yuck! Maybe raise yer social benefits, when EVERYBODY has a decent income, there's no real need for stealing, huh?
Dankie Andrew. You inspired me to do Sani Pass now I'm wanting to cross Australia with my family. Love your work.
27:24 Southern Ocean. The Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean at Cape Leeuwin in WA, and the Pacific / Tasman Sea is to the east of the continent.
30:08 Eyre is pronounced air.
Not trying to be "that guy". But if no-one tells you, how will you know for next time. Loving the video 😊
Wow. I’ve been watching these type of vids on my phone for convenience over the last few years. I’ve been missing out! Watched the end of this one on my tv tonight, and it was so good! Will be watching these onto from now on, such a better experience, and such well made videos. Thank you!
I absolutely love these films Andrew!!! 😊👍🏻
Absolutely loving the feature length videos, can't wait to get my new 4wd upto touring level again
Love the father daughter duo
Been a long time since I heard any "Whinging Pommery".
At 20:10 in you perfectly described me when I travel alone. Not many times I'm afraid. But I always travel with my dogs. So totally understand you Andrew when you said missing company at night (same thing is happening to me) and totally avoid people during day. May dogs are more then sufficient.
Love your videos and documentaries also.
Brilliant! What a joyful excursion with your daughter!
What an amazing adventure in such a fabulously original country.
First job watching a 4xoverland video........ Hit the like button, then sit back and enjoy 👌
Such a wonderful video and what an amazingly beautiful country. I just bought dmax to travel around Australia. But we are still in lockdown. Can't wait to travel.
Love this video. just a quick comment @19.45: I prefer "solitude" to "loneliness". Loneliness is an involuntary separation often perceived as a rejection, or abandonment by other people. Solitude is voluntary and can be wonderful.
Sitting in my bedroom in front of the computer I've never itched this much before without actually being near the bugs. To funny. Thanks for sharing!
Just a bit of trivia for you Andrew,
For each human on earth there are 17 million flies I think your share are with you on this trip.😱
Enjoy your travels stay safe.🙂
I love trips with Kate, always funny
Gotta re-invent the tripod leg camping table that stays glued to all terra firma no wobbles included. For space I gotta revisit Namibia.
this lion confrontation is weird, as there is no big cat in Australia according to official sources...definitely sounded lionish though...^^
Big Red is the largest dune in AUS, and the closest to civilisation. So for the less experienced, ie the city people like me, it is indeed "big". And of course you don't drive to the top, the roadway uses a lower part. But you can park and walk to the very top.
Somebody give this man his own tv show already. When he talks it’s like he’s on tv haha
No excuse drivers should drive at a speed where they can avoid road kill being in a hurry is an illusion don’t be bored enjoy the trip slow down☮️🌵
Great presentation mate 💥💥 much support from kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Excelent. From Argentina!!!
Mate!
Would like to ask your time on making a video for newbies like me on how to do touring around Australia SAFELY, like road rules, camping safely, emergency things and so forth.
It will be sucha great lessons for all of us who wants to explore our great OUTBACKS!!! TIA
I enjoy your show Andrew, the first show I saw you bagging out bogans, not surprising what happened to you being sandwiched by two patrols. I was a little confused as I was shopping for my first 4wd. I ended up getting an 80 series not for your comment on bogans, only because my price range was dedicated to finding a forever car and for the price I believe Toyota is far superior as far as quality goes. I am now more aware of those pesky boagans now, driving patrols and taking up our valuable oxygen 😂, thanks for the giggles and entertainment, marvellous photography and witty personality... cheers mate 👍🏻
"Irrewarra granola",, is THE troopy of cereals!!!, please do a review Andrew...
My son crossed Australia East to West across nullubor on a bicycle 20yrs ago,took him just over 30 days
Man I miss seeing this truck. How I wish we had these in the US!
THE FLIES AAAAH
I know I'm late to the 0arty on this video, but this is absolutely amazing what you're doing. I wish I could travel like you, instead of being rooted to a 9-5 job.
BTW thru WA the Nullarbor it is at the top of the bluff which you climb up at the border. The railway line actually bisects it whereas the road skirts its southern edge (in WA). It is treeless cos it is one of, if not the, world's largest piece of limestone. There are numerous caves below. Mundrabilla used to be the cheapest fuel between Ceduna and Norseman. Surprised that you didn't mention Balladonia and Skylab.
The Nullarbor has the longest golf course in the world, pack some golf clubs next transit... 😃 Love your vids thanks and safe trips.
Kate 3 min in the car and she makes it look like a skip😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 Andrew you are legend 👏
Fantastic and Kate is a gem 💎
Awesome video, big red to the left of where you crossed is a lot more difficult, but not taking away from your crossing, great job
Sir, by seeing first 15min video we too have that feeling of your journey 😀
Good tip on the painted steel rims.
I've had wheels come off the car at speed due to dust between the rims and wheel nut upon initial tightening particularly spare wheels used from the underside of the car.
Why did the silver painted wheels change to the black ones by the time the drone crashed ? Was it to fit the wide BFG KM3 tyres ?
Totally get where you're coming from about breakfast cereals. As a young boy in the UK c.1970 we had traditional breakfast cereals in the morning with perhaps Scott's Porage Oats (spinkled with brown sugar) on the colder winter mornings...
Here in Russia a few of the local supermarkets in Moscow sell the amazing Dorset Wholefoods Muesli (lots of nuts and/or fruit) which cost about £3 a packet in the UK. But in recent years, with the Russian Rouble falling in value, a packet of Dorset Muesli now costs twice the UK price - for a packet half the size! So effectively the price is now 4x the normal cost - too expensive to buy really.
The adventurous spirit of you both. I love it 😂 you 2 are beautiful well done fam
At 2:30 - Toby Price makes a brief appearance! Enduro racer - Two time Dakar winner and Australian National Hero - now doing some rally driving. 👍
I reckon it was that clip that did it. If you look at all the off-road overland shows all the tire brands are trying to sell you their great big huge 37 inch tires. And you are giving us the truth that we don’t need them.
Interesting what you say about painted steel rims. When I used to mount tires back in the day we were always more concerned with the aluminum rims. We would tell customers that they should retorque them after driving for 50 miles or so. I never have seen a problem with steel when properly torqued but it is something I will look out for now.
I enjoy seeing the downs to give a real experience!
As always very good viewing pleasure. Nullarbor - Null = No, Arbor = Tree from the Latin as you said
Land of the flys.
I did think that the scene about the tyres would have cost you the sponsorship when you first told us about it. Bad call by BFG though because anyone interested in what you're saying could understand that you are not a fan of wide tyres regardless of make, and that you are indeed a fan of narrower BFGs. Oh well. At least you can try different options going forward.
Fabulous episode. Cant wait for the next one. Thanks for sharing.
In the States we have Black Flies. Imagine a mosquito that bites you and it’s painful. That’s what these things are. In the Alaska bush, they were so thick, you couldn’t be outside, without full coverage of your entire body.
I love LC
Love your videos - so real and franks.. love it
Victorian Highlands? Victorian High Country is what us Victorians call it😃 I live in the next suburb to your brother, Cheers Luv your work.
Awesome Video. Obviously the trip is finished now so this week info isn’t going to help for this trip. But I’m future for the flies this is the only thing that worked for me when I worked up north in the mines. Firstly you need Bushman spray and cream. Highest Deet percentage the better. And also get yourself a face mask sock thingy. Get the cream and put a streak on your forehead, cheeks, exposed neck and hands. Then spray your clothes with the spray. That will always keep them away. If you need a little more protection use the face covering and then they can’t get to your face.
As with the flies in the vehicle just crack the window an inch or so and they will fly out as soon as you turn the car on and start driving.
Fantastic , you have given me a business idea 💡 we might see if we can take a coffee van around Australia 🇦🇺 see what permits we would need to set up on the side of the rd.
That's a really great idea. I wonder if it would be profitable. I'll be your first customer.
@@4xoverland only one way to find out , I’ll let you if we go ahead with it .
Wish I could drive Australia again! Hopefully I can someday..
Looks like your stuffed duck at 1:14:25 has had enough of the flies also.....or has motion sickness.
😂👍
BF I don't know what their problem is, you mentioned a few times the tires were to big, you weren't knocking them down.
Now I don't know if BF installed them and that's what they recommended , I don't know but sounds like they are pouting.
Move one I'm sure another company like Nexen will take you on.
Great video, I really enjoyed it, especially when your daughter joined you, she is so cute.
You have only touched the most southern part of the Nullarbor. To see the Nullarbor in its fullest you need to travel North. If you ever have the opportunity, take a trip on the Indian Pacific Railway or drive the route along the railway service line - then you will understand the true Nullarbor.
It's the Southern Ocean....which has a "junction" with the Indian Ocean at Cape Leeuwin, WA. Also, we pronounce "Eyre" as "air" around these parts...
16:54 it's not just due to the wind alone. It's for the sun too. The trees grow more foliage towards the side the sun is, and bend towards the sun. In Britain, you'll see trees have more branches and foliage on the southern side and people use it to find directions if they're lost. But yes, the wind exaggerates the bend ok the trees here.
I have a couple of questions for you.
1. Did you see big bad spiders?
2. Your accent doesn't sound Aussie. It sounds South African. Are you from SA?
