Great to see you guys stop and help out a fellow traveler in need, that's the Aussie spirit. My parents went on a trip to the rock and had a bit of a mischief of the way and fellow travelers heading in the opposite direction turned around and asked if they were ok. Look out for each other so everyone can have a great time ☺
Good on you for stopping to help that guy. We did Laverton to Uluru, Kings to palm valley then onto Alice in 86 in our Subaru DL1800 Wgn towing a Road & Trak camper. Your trip has bought back huge memories, I climbed the rock then.
I'm with you on always offering help - unbelievable that some flog would just drive past..so UN Australian !
Un Australian aye perfect way to describe it!! Your a bloody good person for stopping
Some people just wouldn’t feel safe stopping for a stranger in the middle of no where.
I’d also say it’s a self fulfilling prophecy carry on 1 spare, no sat nav in a clunker like that.
@@matgill6963 yes that is what I was thinking. Bad people break their vehicles. You stop to help and they do what they want to take your vehicle. It happens all the time so people are wary of strangers in remote places now
What about you mat? Would you want someone to stop and help you?
if you feel safe being out remote like that you should feel safe enough to stop and help someone.. this is the issue..
You are kind of missing the point cock.
Just because you feel something doesnt mean everyone else does. Showing your naivety and age I reckon.
Obviously in an ideal world people wouldn't have these concerns because people wouldn't be criminals, rapists and murderers.
Also in an ideal world someone travelling these roads would have more than 1 spare tire and a sat-phone.
for the record I would stop. But can also understand why others might not.

Longest trucks over here (Switzerland) are 18.75m, we saw a sign in WA allowing trucks up to 53.5 metres which was insane for us. Our roads aren't made for this. We loved seeing road trains 😊
haha thats crazy hey!! seeing the absolute froth from the tour bus about the truck at that hour in the morning was sick haha
Ha, our roads arnt made for long road trains either mate 5 trailers behind a truck is normal out in the bush travelling on dusty dirt roads that are sometimes water logged , bloody unreal but that's Australia mate😮 😅she's a big country and the truckies are carrying it 👍
Hi Guys The sign you saw in WA about allowing trucks up to 53.5m probabley applies to the 110 wheeler 3B 'Centerpede' used for transporting zinc ore 100's of kms to the port facility
\
Uluru is very worthy of the title 'Australian icon'. A totally awesome location in the true sense of the word. I have spent a total of 11 days there and will take any opportunity in the future to return.
For sure! 100% agree with everything you said and thanks for watching
Good to see for stopping and helping a fellow traveler,
Thanks mate I swear it’s apart of being an Aussie aye
Wow. What an incredible landscape. Good on you for helping that bloke on the side of the road. I can't understand people just driving past.
Thanks for another great episode team. 😊
Thanks guy's absolutely loved watching this one!!! Enjoy and safe travels
Thanks for the videos guys. What a massive 2023 you had. Thanks for showing us the East Coast, Arnham Land and more. You guys rock! I hope you are able to have a good rest over the Christmas break.
We were doing the road from Hells Gate to Boorooloola and came across a family of German tourists in a Nissan Xtrail with a puncture we stopped helped them change their tyre to the Space Saver and we lowered all their other tyres and told them to take it very careful so they could get to Domagee and hopefully get a new tyre or repair…
Bloody hell that’s crazy!! And also scary isn’t it!! Good on you for stopping and helping a lot don’t
I've been to Uluru twice now & both times it's moved me. To stand in front of it... it's like there is an energy & a calmness. A very spiritual place. 💜💜 Merry Christmas guys, catch you in 2024.
First section of the kings canyon walk is the hardest we struggled too, hubby still hasn't got over it 20 years later😅
As always - awesome video. Just came back from the Centre. Didn't see a single soul on the Birdsville Track over 2 days... other than the nice couple running a hotel midway ("what are you doing here - are you nuts"). Only a handful of people on the Oodnadatta Track and the Pink Roadhouse was shut for accom (but Simon was kind enough to open it up). To not stop is horrible... but you can't expect to see many folks in 50 degree heat at this time of year so pack a lunch and lots of water/beer. The upside to the heat is the flies have mostly given up or died and the solitude at this time of year makes the trip even more special. Corrugations seem to have a sweet spot where at the right speed you float over them. Yulara price gouging is what happens when the government runs EVERYTHING and there's no competition.
I spent 8 days at Uluru and totally know that indescribable feeling’. I did have a little tear when I saw it for the first time . Anyway I’m so happy that you got to experience it and tick it off your list, special in a different kind of way. Have the most wonderful Chrissie at home with your families xxxxx
Love love love Kings Canyon, Uluru & Olga’s totally get all the feels like you guys did. Thanks for another awesome ep guys 😊
Guys we walked the rock and Kings Canyon this year and we loved it. Smiling the whole way. But we do love walking. ❤. Brought back great memories this episode ta.
That was great to see Uluṟu with you guys, you will certainly get fitter cycling around it like you did. The canyon was amazing too. Couldn’t believe people didn’t stop to check on that guy, unbelievable. As you said Sarah, “what’s goes around comes around” have a great Christmas & NYs and looking forward to following your travels, builds and seeing your new van in the NY. Thanks for sharing all your travels throughout the year, they have been truly remarkable, given me a hole new prospective on what there is to see & do in Aussie. Take care and safe travels. Cheers 🥂 🍻🎅
Hi guys I absolutely agree help anyone that’s stuck. But. If you want to travel remotely GET a sat phone or a satellite communicator of some sort. People like that die because they’re remote and no one comes past. BE SELF SUFFICIENT.
Love you guys and love your show. Ps not every shortcut is quicker 😂
100% carry a sat phone or starlink which is the same technology, we can always get ourself out of trouble with it!! Hahah your right about the shortcuts haha
Great episode guys , there is definitely something very special and spiritual about Uluru.
Merry Christmas and happy New year to you both , look forward to your escapades in 24.
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year To you both.
Many thanks for the hours and hours of enjoyment
you have given!
Awesome video Keelan and Sarah really enjoyed it. That Rock would definitely would be fantastic to see. Always looking forward to seeing you both next Friday night for next episode
I have some fantastic pictures on top of that rock. the views are stunning in all direction, there is a compass on top and i have a cool picture sitting on top of it in lotus position. that was back in 1990/91.
Another stunning video guys, awesome you stopped to help out old mate, he will be eternally grateful. Keep them coming you amazing pair.
PS: Looking like a hair cut is needed, hahaha
Thanks mate! Always stop and have a yarn aye! Cheers dazz
Wow, just wow, never did it, but love watching you two do your usual funny stuff, and a big congrats to you Keelan that big Spanish mackerel wow now your a big game fisherman, loved this video like all the others, can’t wait to see the Land Cruiser mods, and the new van, you guys deserve it. Like always stay safe.
I do love my Y62 beast!
You can rim job you dirty diesel EGR for 4 hours!
Great video. Great Australians.
The Ernest Giles Rd is a beauty . Kings canyon farm stay is great too, not to commercialised.
Yes the rock is magical, just seems to hover in space. Great vid. Have a great Christmas, luv your stuff.
I was on the same road one month ago and ran into a group of young guys with a second blow out so I stopped and plugged the tyre for them and followed them back out to Alice so they could get both tyres repaired they were so great full for it it’s just the right thing to do
Also guys while you were there you should have done boggy hole and palm valley it’s such a beautiful drive through the Finke gorge national park it’s just magnificent and a fun track to do anyway great video guys
love that whole area!
Palm Valley, Fink river, the West Macs. So many awesome places!
Great to see you going to ULUR 👏🏾
First time watching and I love the way you guys talk about it all ! Right down to looking out for fellow travelers !
Showing the true Australian culture and history in our great land down under! I’m subscribed and looking forward to the next chapter 😎
Lovely spot well worth a visit despite the road. Keep up the good work
Love this video! Can’t wait to travel Australia with my little family 🤎
Very beautiful drone footage , thank you for helping the guy out and glad you all where safe. Merry Christmas to you both and your loved ones.
Merry Christmas Happy New Years & 4 years anniversary. I worked & lived in Yulara 2021/2022 as a Trade Assistant, thoughout the summer days can be anywhere from 35°-50°. Loved my time out there & would 100% go again. Theres so many things that are captivating about the entire area. Once you've experienced it, its in ya. Love it.
Great episode guys. The fam and I are heading up that area over Xmas so it was good to get a bit of a glimpse.
If you can afford, always take flights over big formations (e.g. Kings Canyon, Uluru, Great Barrier Reef, etc). View from the sky is magnificent
Love this episode ❤
Gday Sarah and Keelan brilliant drone pics we were at Ayers rock before they closed it to walking the rock , was very expensive then , the rock is awesome cheers
Such a good episode
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. Can’t wait to see your new van & the adventures in 2024 🎄🎄
Thanx legends 👍
Happy anniversary, always watching 🍺😎👌
Hi Guys bloody ripper episode. Firstly happy anniversary looked like a lovely 😍 evening. Cheers for stopping & helping out the stranded ppl. Cannot believe some people just drive by. Fantastic drone footage in the canyon. Really great content on these vids. Have a safe & happy Christmas. My shout for a beer in Melbourne if you guys are up for it. Cheers Kev 🍻.
Looks awesome. We’re planning to go next year
Heart attack hill, probably the hardest climb I’ve ever done, but the scenery and photos opportunities certainly make it worthwhile.
best video u guys have done well done great stuff
Hey guys truckie here can confirm if i woke up to a bunch of idiots taking photos and trying to my best mate early in the morning id tell them to bugger off 😂😂😂
Great video keep it up!
Love watching your videos. Merry Christmas 😃 Safe Travels🎄🎅
Stunning, thanks for sharing and happy anniversary to you
Thanks legend! Cheers for watching
Love watching you both. Living the Aussie dream. So real. So just who you both are. It is just awesome to watch.
Dream big guys. Love what you do👌👌
What drone do you use? That takes some great videos. Gives just that bit more perspective to what you are doing and where you both are. And that has been. In the middle of no where.
Awesome content, I am planning on a trip up there in August, from Melbourne.
I love Y62 Patrol, and I have one😊
Henbury Meteor crater was also used in the movie Wolf Creek
Have a great Christmas!!
Well done guys another great episode. Definitely enjoyed this one. Loved your little speech regarding helping other travellers. How are your 17 inch wheels and tyres going since you had them fitted? Thinking of doing the same to my cruiser. Love your work Dave
Gooday Sarah & Keelan I follow you on utube & think it’s awesome what you are doing keep it up
Merry Christmas and happy new year loved your trip this year amazing places
Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Thanks for watching
Hey guys, love ya travels. FYI my parents, sister and myself with another couple flew in a cessna 172 plane from Katanning, WA to Ayres Rock, Olgers , Alice Springs then home over a week. We climbed the rock up that path and i still have the certificate to say i completed the climb.. Safe travels and will keep watching your trip. Merry Christmas from Busselton
I’ve got a Y61 cab, I’m in love with it.
Drove Ernest Giles Rd to those craters in a combi camper running Bridgestone Duelers in 1989! Still remember the corrugations!
Awesome 💯🇦🇺
Hi Guys, loved the vid. The largest rock in the world is Mt Augustus in WA. Its about 2.5 times larger that Uluru and very much worth a visit.
Hey Guys, just been watching this episode and had a giggle when you (Keelan) said that you were pumped to see 'the rock' and Sarah was all emotional, because myself and my wife were in that EXACT same situation. I was driving up to it pumped and all of a sudden I looked and saw her tearing up next to me. So I had to laugh at that. FYI, we were also the couple that said G'day to you half way around the rock when (and I hate to say this) you guys just come out of the toilets and were getting back on your bikes lol. But hey we had to go too so whatev's 😂
keelan, it was really good seeing the rock in the reflection of your glasses when driving towards the rock. great for thought and editing.
First of your vids for me. Loved the content, okker and vibe of it.
I have been to Ayres Rock as a kid and got to climb it (twice) though that is frowned upon now. Will get back there again some day to see how much the area has changed (touristy).
I did hit subscribe and look forward to more bonza episodes.
BTW, the 70's called and said they're missing 2 pushies.
Love it legends. Great vid. Awesome and very true advice to stop and help people 100%.
Hey, not like it's Wolf Creek 😅😅.
I was on the same track back in 2007 stuck for 8 hour , with the axle of camper trailer had moved across and blown tyre and destroyed rim all cause by suspension becoming loose and nuts missing, not 1 car out of 10 stopped , long day , just needed another jack to help lift it up.
I felt a Goanna Solid Rock backing track coming on at one point. 👍😎👊🇦🇺
A set of tyre leavers and a bead breaker is a lot lighter than a second spare wheel on a caving expedition above the transcontinental rail line in a four vehicle convoy we had 14 flat tyres in one day I used a lot of tyre plugs and glue on patches but we made it back to a town
I broke down 2k from alligator gorge in SA. Was around 8 am. flaky phone reception, but i managed to get a tow truck. Everyone who passed me slowed and asked if i was ok. Great mateship.
Awesome video guys.
My plan is in 4yrs to drive my kombi up through Australia and to experience Uluru.
✌️ Peace.
Hey team. I'm really surprised no one stopped.
I assume this was on your way to the Perth 4x4 show. Safe Travels.
I'm stuck in Perth until mid-January. Lost a wheel on the way back from up north and did a shed load of rear axle and brake damage along some pretty nasty panel damage. In my case many people stopped and offered assistance. 😊 21:37
You guys are flipping awesome, pretty sure that bloke appreciated the shit out of that.
Great episode, thanks for sharing .
Happy anniversary
😎🤙👍
funny i been to the rock 3 times and every time it was raining love to see it in the dry one day
Nice one guys. You know I turned off to take that short cut road, following google 🙄. I very soon realized it’s a bit rough for me so took a you turn out of there.
We broke down in NT, blew a radiator hose, managed to limped to a large rest stop, no mobile reception. One couple pulled up near us, never even made eye contact with us and they even walked passed us to put rubbish in the bin!
Cracking Ep legends
Thanks legend!!
Felt the same seeing Uluru for the first time, takes your breathe away.
It’s a bizarre thing isn’t it! The energy is insane
I carry two spares in the bush and a Epirb and when we take off in 2025 for longer periods we will have starlink. Only ever had 2 flats so far in the bush and both were on the same road in almost the same spot 10 years apart...lol
Capertee Valley would be Australia's equivalent to the Grand Canyon. Amazing views ,just a couple of hours from Sydney.
Hi guys. Love your episodes. Keep up the great work! What mods, including the engine have you done to the 200 series. Great Rig. Cheers Craig
Keelan, always knew u wanted a Y62, awesome vehicle !!. Great Ep guys, luved the drone footage at Kings Canyon. Agree with your rant 👍. Pooh bears finger, 😂 luv you one liners!! Merry Xmas 🎄 u 2, safe travels & Happy NY 🎊 🎉
Shame you can’t climb The Rock anymore , did it about a thousand years ago . Awesome fun . Yes Keelan it was bloody steep , they used to have poles and a chain at the bottom bit . 😊
Uluru is awesome. Back in the early 90's, before I had any idea or consideration for the cultural heritage of it, I did the climb to the top. I took a photo of the road below, when I was close to the top. Cars looked like ants.
WoW the grandeur of Uluru - truely spiritual alright! But how come its there? What is it? - besides a rock. There has to be more to it.
Thanks for taking me there guys.
Might be a bit of fun to do a meet n greet in my town - Melbs 🤞
Can't wait to see the rig too❤
Felt exactly the same every time I’ve been to the rock. I’m totally un-religious but it’s the most “spiritual” experience I’ve had I reckon. Agree on the view from a distance vs up close, as well. Great ep!
great chanel, merry xmas
Love your channel my Grandfather was Born in Adelaide in December 1900. His family moved to the US a few years latter. I have a travel trailer with Cruisemaster ATX suspension and 33 inch tires. I would be interested in knowing what pressure you run your tires. Oh the trailer weighs about 7,000 lbs. I hope to convince my wife for us to cruise the back country for 90 days some time in the future.
NHULUNBUY, awesome place, bush tucker central
👍👍🍻 so u can atchly just drive around the whole rock thats cool , one day ill be there hopefully 😊
I didn't quite catch that, did you say it was "pretty corrugated"? btw drove an old HR Holden down that road to Kings in the late 1970s loaded with 4 dudes and heaps of stuff and the only break down was one puncture
Please let me know about most of your soundtracks. I'm loving the background music in most of your vids
Please check out Store Mountain, Georgia, USA. Large monolithic rock like yours. Love your channel.
Happy 4th anniversary!!
Hi guys, great adventure thru Ernest Giles track, (not done it ourselves), I certainly wouldn't have passed by old mate, but don't carry satellite ph either, so we'd been no help. Our only SOS is a PLB but it certainly wasn't a PLB activation moment either.
We were out there this year when cyclone IISA passed over, so heaps of water at Kings Canyon & Uluru, infact the cycle track was closed as considered too wet. Fortunately our three day pass allowed time to pass, track dried out, able to cycle around on our last day there.
Whilst it's a worthwhile way to see the Rock, nothing like the experience of climbing it as a family in August 1999.
Now I have just one concern, how come you've videoed and publicly displayed a no go photo footage area of Uluru.
Would have thought you'd be more respectful of indigenous wishes after becoming honorary accepted into Arnumland Society.
Unsure, but you could find yourselves in a bit of strife.
Regards as always, Wealie.
Ayers Rock! Always was, always will be.
God the flies in that neck of the woods are horrendous, 5 weeks and near on 12000km on a few occasions and nothing came close to that part of the territory. There are some places that just bring the emotions Sarah, While this is not one of them for me, i totally understand what you are saying, It is mighty Impressive, and we barely even saw it passing by a few months ago.
Aussie way was always you checked to see if they are okay & if you can help in some way, when did we loose that?😞
Hope you both have a relaxing time off & a wonderful Christmas! Bring on 2024!
I agree, I counted maybe 3 out of 4 cars in 2 hours didn’t stop and dusted us
Thanks legend merry Christmas
@@SarahandKeelanTravels that is really awful, especially in the location! We always stop & check & always will. What a terrible feeling to watch cars drive by when you need a hand; a little kindness goes a long way. Thanks for spreading the word, people seem to need the reminders of how to be decent humans.
Slow down, Ford 100 2 and half times around, 38 foot caravan, no major breakages
Sarah you looked beautiful and happy 4th anniversary to you both 💕💐🥂🍺
Thanks legend
