    If it's not too late, make sure you check out Angirichina Village and check out the history around the town on Blinman.
    There's a lot of mining history up there.

    Another great episode guys. Megan tried hard to be encouraging and supportive (but ultimately failing 😁) about Jack's attempt in making fresh pasta. It looks like more practice is needed. But good onya Jack for trying. 👍

    Thanks for sharing great footage. Brings back childhood memories for me when as a family we went to Flinders Ranges about 3 times towing a Viscount caravan behind our Valiant Chrysler. My memories are when I removed a piece of glass that was left in a fire pit to put in the bin and didn’t realise it was burning hot, I burnt my fingers!! Best memories seeing the Great Wall of China and some hut at Wilpena Pound.

    Its amazing how seeing something can bring back so many memories from our childhood, like Jack remembering the goats he had as a child after seeing the wild goats... Your journey through the Flinders brings back many fond memories for me too when we used to drive through all there... It is good to see that Wilpena Pound has remained untouched and is as beautiful as it was so long ago... Thanks guys for the memories and they will be good memories for you for many years to come

    This episode brings back great memories of camping in the Flinders many years ago. I remember climbing up to St. Mary’s peak where you get a bird’s eye view of the pound and the ranges to the north.
    A favourite place we used to swim at was Sacred Canyon , not far from Willpena Pound. Definitely a beautiful place to explore!

    Home made pasta is awesome when done properly but when traveling or on a budget shop bought pasta is the way to go, it cost less, keeps forever and taste good. Hard to get a good sunrise in winter but you are in an awesome place.
    And FYI. Too many chiefs and not enough indians.

  • @4wd4mentalhealth58
    @4wd4mentalhealth58 Před 2 lety +1

    You two crack me up 😂 I happened to have watched Harry's pasta vlog. I'm pretty sure he said that you need to use a finer flour than plain white flour. It's almost like a powder. Loved Megan's reaction to it 🤣 Did you go through Brachina Gorge as well? We did a weekender up there a couple of years back. Carne off the Outback Highway into Parachilna Gorge Rd. Free camped there. We headed around to Brachina Gorge on our way out. It's beautiful up there.

    Next minute a 4wd club turns up and trys to take over despite my car being hooked up.
    Made everything take so much longer and less safe because 10 people trying to give instructions to the poor guy that had clearly never driven offroad.

    @HammerRocks Před 2 lety +2

    I love the Flingers Ranges. Beautiful scenery and relatively tame tracks, makes for a memorable and vehicle friendly overland trip. As for drones, you can apply from the National Parks to see if they'll give you permission to fly a drone. They review each application on a case-by-case basis, and if a permission is granted, it comes with a lot of conditions on what you can and cannot do. But it's worth it.

    • @fatmanoverlanding
      @fatmanoverlanding Před 2 lety +2

      It also depends on the weight of your drone. There seems to be different rules for drones weighing 250g or less. So a DJI Mini (1, 2 or 3) will be suitable for a sub-250g photographic/video drone.

  • @clarrievivian4208
    @clarrievivian4208 Před 2 lety +1

    Cooking while camping can be a challenge at times - good effort Jack🧑‍🍳. Meagan, so diplomatic 😁. I always have a backup plan - eggs, baked beans, shell pasta & chilli powder. Really enjoyed the video, didn't know about the ban on drones in N/P, I suppose a wedge tail eagle 🦅 could attack it and try to eat it - just saying😁. Well done guys.

    That recovery with the snatch strap around the bullbar, people in close proximity and the recovery vehicle trying to reverse out made me cringe. 🤦‍♂️ People could’ve been seriously injured.
    Great video though. I enjoyed seeing some recovery work as it’s important to spread the word on what the wrong thing to do is.
    I also think Jack should keep trying to make pasta. As long as there is a hungry animal around. 😂
