Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. Really appreciate all the hard work that goes into filming, narrating and editing it for us. 💯
Always luv ya work guys, I was a truckie to, so Mr Forman cracks me up 👍😂🤙 you both are very knowledgeable 👍 Aussie Aussie Aussie 🤙👍😀
Awesome work guys appreciate the work you guys do so much. WA should be very proud and grateful to have people like yourself and wilms who gives so much of your time and effort to promote the WA Geography, Landscape, Fauna, Flora and a wonderful insight of WA history. Keep it up guys cant wait for the rest of the series.
+craig thulborn always a pleasure Craig. Glad you liked it. Shall be starting on part 2 next week though I think it might be a while before release. The films are starting to become a little complex. Cheers.
+craig thulborn I can certainly tell you guys are getting more advanced as sections of your film look like your in some sort of simulator or studio type thing. any way guys dont reveal to much of your production/editing skills as people like myself want to see you guys have more recognition for the work you do "example your own TV series". Thanks for the response, as always happy traveling and stay safe.

In my Heart is australia home. I hope so much i could call it in the future my homeness.💗🇦🇺
Thanks for these pictures of australia.🙏
Really enjoying your work you guys. I really appreciate the balance of ironic humor and wildlife knowledge as well as the variety of filming technique. Fantastic and well done!
Excellent from the opening titles to the close, first rate filming, what a magnificent area be privileged to visit, bring on part 2
Now that was highly entertaining. Many thanks.
Thumbs up Mr Foreman.
Those cooking segments just get better don't they! LOL
+Tasman Cheers for the comments. I am a fellow who likes to capitalise on my weaknesses. There may well be another cooking segment or two in the works.
Fantastic...... loved every moment of it..... keep it coming
+Rob McDowall Cheers Rob. Hopefully another 5 episodes if all goes well.
Loved it! Looks awful sharky up there, and the sand driving looks challenging.
Another winner! Thank you for making and posting such great content. Can't wait for the next episode.
+evilunclestu Always a pleasure evilunclestu. Episode 2 should be out in a couple of days. Has to pass a few quality control screenings before upload. Stay tuned. Cheers.
Very cool guys. Enjoyed your CSR but this is next level stuff. I'm looking forward to the next installment!
Absolutely amazing. Top production guys. Appreciate the hard work you put into it. Can't wait for the next one.
+Jeffrey Thomas Thanks Jeffrey. We're hoping to have episode 2 out in about 4 or 5 weeks. Cheers for the comments.
Top work, keen on the next! Thanks again.
+Jarrod C Greetings Jarrod. Good to hear from you and glad you liked the film.
Nice one crew! best production yet
Awesome, love watching your travels must have taken ages to put together can't wait for the others.
+Jon Paul Thanks for the comments Jon. Cheers.
Really enjoyable. Good doco
Mr. Foreman, Radiatior............repair............once removed the thermostat to eliminate pressure and cracked the radiator cap.
Result the crack at the bottom of the radiator tank stopped leaking. Got me home. Now I carry a mapp gas torch, flux and solder in case the radiator cracks again. Got the radiator crack coming home from Saline Valley.
Love your videos. The best travel videos on the net. Love the technical stuff as well as the descriptions. You both are the best.
Greetings there Mike. You must have a steel radiator unlike the throwaway aluminium landrover jobs. That torch you have would be handy for igniting a fire under my 2nd hand disco which so far has proved itself a lemon.
Right you are. I have triple core (three rows of percolation tubes) steel radiator that I bot for a 1988 Toyota 4 runner, 4 cyclinder 22 re motor. Removing the thermostat relieves the pressure in the system. The 22 r motor is very popular and easy to get parts for. Love your videos.
Chanced on a vid you posted about series 1 rebuild and have spent the afternoon watching all your posts.Really addictive and well made.Thanks
Glad you like the videos. Cheers Mark.
Another quality production...
+hawks667 Always a pleasure!
Great video guys, looks like magical countryside, would love to see it for myself one day...cheers
Greetings Steve, thanks for the comments. It's a great place out there, salty, hot and full of bugs but awesome indeed cheers.
cracking video guy's very professional ! SUBD
cheers and beers Daryl
good
Absolutely fantastic guys.... I live in Geraldton and am Land Rover obsessed (being a pom does that to you). Love your sense of humour Gavin and Summer chucks in just the right amount of "whatever" humour to counter it :-). A great start to your Western Walkabout series. Btw, loved the opening comments of this vid re the walkabout lol.... Loved the camp cooking, maybe you could host your own camping MKR series hahahahaha just kidding... can't wait to see the rest of the series. You should have your own TV show i reckon, you two are natural and a pleasure to watch/listen to because all your facts and experiences are first hand. Anyway, you got a sub for life here... all the best, Steve
+Sir_Forsaken Greetings and salutations Steve. Being Landrover obsessed ain't a bad thing. Next time your in at Wyatts in Anderson street you'll have to put them onto the videos. They've done a fair bit of work to our wagon. As bad as my cooking segments are there may be a few more to endure although they are sporadic, I don't want to wear out the gag. We've been off on a canoeing trip for 11 days but now we're back Episode 4 should be out in a week or two. Cheers for now.
***** Hey, Steve Whyatt is a good mate. He's a bloody brilliant mechanic and has a great sense of humour too hehe. I'm due to go in shortly to get a coil conversion kit for my P38 Range Rover so will let Shane and Steve know about your channel. All the best and keep the great vids coming.....
+Sir_Forsaken Say hello to the lads for me. I don't think Steve knows me by name but Shane will, I've harassed him on numerous occasions to send me parts in remote locations. He's saved me two or three times. Cheers.
👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great doco guys , I believe the green stuff is called salad think my mrs eats the stuff cheers
Greetings Mr Digger. It's taken weeks of research and cross referencing and by the gods your right, it is salad. Wilms confesses to having eaten the stuff once or twice. Terrible.
Your videos are so good!!! You really deserve more viewers.
Are you guys on the Expedition Portal forums? I'm sure tons of folks over there would love your stuff. All the best-
Greetings Scott. Thanks for the high praise. We're not currently on any forums, I didn't really know about them so I'll have to look into it. Our videos are at present in the really hard to find basket. Cheers.
Anytime! Expedition Portal is an international Overlanding web site and forum. There are 150K+ members, so it gets quite a bit of traffic and everyone at least shares an affinity for adventure travel. If you have the time, take a look at forum.expeditionportal.com/index.php. Hope to see you there!
Hi guys, classic high quality production. Particularly like the 3d animations that you have put together. What was the app that you used? Do I detect a background in media/broadcast production?
Greetings Jason. Thanks for the comments. We use maya for the 3D stuff and also element 3D which is a plugin for adobe after effects. We have no film making background, everything we do is self taught. I wanted to make films from the moment I saw Star Wars and with no one to help me along the journey I set off alone. It's a lot of hard work and great fun.
Well its a credit to you. I've have worked in the industry for a number of years and you are producing content every bit as good as the professionals. Well done mate.
Enjoyed the videos on GRR, what month were you travelling it?
Greetings there Stephen, it was peak season at the time, middle of July and school holidays so it was quite busy. Still a great drive though.
Hi Foreman and Wilms what time of the year did you do Steep Point, we are thinking of going there in January. Yes i no hot but its the only time we can get off work any advise.
Thanks mate but sounds like it won't be much fun can you suggest another trip thats worth doing that time of year, we have 2 weeks to spare and the cruiser is rigged to go back and beyond within reason of course.
Greetings Kevin. I'd still call the rangers station for advice. Sometimes you'll never get to go to a place if the chance doesn't get taken. The number I have for them is 99483993. The South West of course has endless options. 2 places I've never made it too is the Broke inlet west of Walpole and Cape Arid National Park east of Esperence which might be the last stronghold of the endangered noisy scrub bird.
Thanks mate never truer words spoken will ring them, see what happens.
Greetings Kevin. What's the update on the travel plans? Is it to be steep point or another destination.
What is in the bag hanging off the bullbar?
Greetings there. It's a hessian waterbag, an old school invention even before my time having the air and evaporation cool the water as you drive. They're a bit hard to find nowadays and I punctured that one unfortunately. They still sell them in some Australian camping stores. I called it a major upgrade to the vehicle.
Thanks mate, Love the videos. Followed in all your footsteps except the Stock route, Hopefully next year. Keep up the awesome videos.
