This is the final episode of our Northern Territory adventure... and it's a beauty!
Perched in the northwest corner of the Territory and only 3km from the WA border is Keep River National park.
Touted as the mini-Bungles we were treated to exceptional scenery, fantastic walks, brilliant bush-camping and.... a flat battery.
Left stranded in this beautiful area of northern Australia wasn't so bad but we had no phone service and noone in the campground was able to get us going. This meant a hike to get to higher ground to try and get a call out to roadside assistance.
No amount of car trouble could take away from how incredible this place was. Join us this week as we show you around the park and the stunning walks and lookouts. They're some of the best in the country!

Fantastic Episode, Blown Away! Enjoy the 'REAL LIFE' vibe. Thank you TLP!
The country in the Territory is spectacular.
My home state, but I'm still wandering.
Pulled up in Weipa for a while.
Have dad on board 95 and his old dog.
Son and family are here, good for them.
Magic wet here.
Love your adventures.
Thanks for sharing, Rosemary! Travel safe.
Hey guys! We just spent 2 beautiful nights at Keep River NP based on your recommendation, and we absolutely loved it. Thanks so much and keep up the great content - and good luck with the 76, hope they release her soon!
Glad you enjoyed it! It's such a special place. Thank you!
Beautiful , ancient area, the history, Aboriginal history and stories, early explorers, Car started, nothing worse then car problems in middle of nowhere, Lucky with the tourists these days help not to far away, Back in my day you died ,Even in the 70s people perished travelling ,but with modern vans it safe these days, Your little explorers having a great open class room experience , Cheers Bevan 🤠❤️🇦🇺
Thanks Bevan. It is nice knowing if we had to, we could wait it out in comfort and with plenty of food and water on hand.
Never heard of Keep River NP but it looks great ......now on my list Loved the drone footage.
It's so good!
wooooaaaa...... The "little man" comment threw me a little ! 😵💫 😂 .... Keep River NP...... Lee and I ended up there on our way to Darwin a few years back. We also didn't know anything about it but stayed for two nights ( could have stayed much longer of course ). The way you both described it says it all although I would have added "prehistoric". Thanks so much for sharing an excellent vid !
Thanks Jim, you're so right. Prehistoric for sure!
Another fantastic episode. I can't tell you how much enjoyment that I get from traveling with you. I look forward to each episode that you share. I love your down to earth attitude that you give. I hope the troubles with the Ranger can be sorted as I'm sure that would cause some anxiety. Already waiting for next week's episode. Till then safe travels. Jerome
Thanks so much, Jerome. Appreciate your support.
Thank you, this will be on our bucket list when we get on the road. You are doing such a great following you
Thanks Chris
This would have to be your best post ever. Your photography of the landscape is outstanding-thankyou
Wow, thank you! Appreciate your support Ray
Great episodes, beautiful country, thank you
Glad you like them!
Another great ep guys, thanks. Bought back memories of our car troubles through the NT 30 years ago…… car wouldn’t start whenever we were remote, started every time we were in a town. We got from Adelaide to Darwin and back down to Alice before we finally sorted it. Hope your car troubles ended at this point. Guess we’ll find out in the coming weeks. Love ya work !
Our pleasure! Thanks for all your support.
Is it a troopy or an old patrol next. Nothing like having a reliable vehicle out there! Just love your episodes , keep them coming!!!
😂 There was talk of a new vehicle but we're sticking with the Ranger for now. 👍
Happy for you that you got your car troubles fixed. We stayed at keep river a number of years ago. It was a total surprise how good it is, the views are amazing, it should be on everyone’s bucket list to do.
Totally agree. I can't believe more people don't rave about it.
We spent 2days at Keep River NP twenty four years ago. We loved it too.
That's awesome!
Awesome episode guys! Might have to put it on the list! 🤙🏼
Cheers guys. You should!
Keep up the good work guys bloody ford sorry 😢 🍺🍺🍺🍺
😂 Turned out to just be the battery thankfully. We've had no problems since.
Thank you for another great episode showing us the NP. Had to skip Keep River NP when we were in the area as our alternator seized up near Timber Creek on our way to WA. But we did get to spend a few more days at Lake Argyle while we waited for parts to arrive in Kununurra.
Thanks for watching, Steve. You'll have to put it on the list for next time!
Great episode guys, should be there in June ish. Well done.
Thanks, Neil! Enjoy, it's an amazing area.
Thanks for showing us Keep river, I had not heard of it before, Definitely on the must see list now.
Us too! A real hidden gem, and easy to access.
Beautiful place guys! Heading to wa next? Can't wait for your next adventure
Definitely!! New episodes out each Sunday.
Thank you for another great video for ideas and inspiration for our trip next year. Can’t wait to get ourselves on the road to see these wonderful places.
That's awesome Pru! Enjoy your trip.
Just stunning!
Cheers!
Thanks for another grat vid guys looking forward to the next one safe travels and thank you once again
Thanks for watching!
You found a gem of a place! On my bucket list!
Absolutely!
Excellent video, our ranger did the same out in Byfield NP we had to get the neighbour to keep the jumper leads on for about half an hour before it would start, very frustrating as it will do it randomly. Have read about the disconnect and reconnect to reset, yet battery will hold 14.7 volts normally. Bloody electronics.
Unfortunately it's something we have to get used to with modern vehicles I think.
We have had the same thing happen with our 2017 ranger, tried jump starting, new battery, had racv out and even they couldn’t get it started with the huge jump starting set up. Then the racv guy phone in to head office. Was told from head office to do some procedure which included pressing the throttle I think half way with the brake applied to override the problem. And it started
Apparently once the car sensors a extreme low voltage it goes into a safe mode, would turn over but not start 🤷🏼
We've heard of it happening to a few people but thankfully it doesn't seem that common. Touch wood we've had no problems since!
Another excellent video. Think there is a good lesson here for all. My battery is a couple of years old so I will throw in a new one before my next trip just to be sure. Drove past Keep River NP on our last big lap. After seeing your video will definitely spend a few days there next time we are up that way.
Absolutely, it's well worth the short detour
Thanks for sharing this beautiful place. It’s on the list. It reminded me of Arnhem Land near Kakadu. I hope the gremlins are sorted for your car and you haven’t had any more issues. East macs is our fav area too in the NT along with Litchfield. Favourite camp would be The free camp near Kings Canyon up on the jump up on the loop rd back to West macs.
Stayed at that camp 3 nights ago haha. Morris Lookout on wiki camps, just on the western end of The Mereenie Loop.
Thanks for watching! We stopped in at that camp, incredible views!
Another great video with beautiful scenery. Glad you got your car troubles sorted. I noticed in one of the shots that you have the uhf antenna mounted on the rear tub. Just wondering how that was mounted?
Thanks 👍 The antenna is mounted to the 'T' slot in the roller shutter on a bracket I made
DONE
What an amazing spot........again lol
It's really special, Cheryl
Done
You must do an e book on your walks
We've got something exciting coming up on our new website you might like 👊
Hi guys love the videos around Australia just quick question do you get much drag on the caravan without a canopy on the Ute.
Thanks Peter. I wouldn't know if it makes much difference, we've never had a canopy on. I'd be suprised if the difference would be noticeable.
I just thought that with the air flow coming around the back of the Ute it would use more diesel, I just asked you because your pretty good with all that information, I don't have a canopy on my ranger either.
Great video guys heading there next month! What year ranger? My tip is it was faulty AC Actuators draining battery overnight, can be silently running or sometimes you hear a scratching like noise behind the dash! Did you ever find the problem?
Thanks for the info! Ours is a 2017. We're pretty sure it was the caravan electrical system back-drawing through the anderson plug
Great episode- what month were you there
Thanks, Charlotte. We were there in early August
Hi, maybe it is just me as no one has mentioned it but the last 3 episodes seem a litle darker on my screen than your others. Have you changed video settings? Content great & by no means a complaint, just an observation.
Thanks Richard. We've been playing around with a few different editing techniques. Do you find it too dark? It can be tricky as it will show differently on different devices.
give me points and carby anyday lol
Those days are long gone!
Ikr! Modern cars aren't cars in my old-school opinion.
There are no borders across Australia 😎
They're definitely a little more noticeable recently!
