Episode-1 of my 2018 crossing of Australia expedition.
I set off across the Australian continent on my west-east crossing that will take me along the Southern hemisphere's longest straight road, a stretch of 146 kms of asphalt toward the Nullarbor Plain. At day's end on day two I am at the edge of the Australian continent and the Great Australian Bight National Park.
In this expedition, Andrew St Pierre White and his daughter Kate drive across Australia - twice, in a Toyota Land Cruiser 78 series Troopy. First the easy way, returning the difficult way. This is their story.

Some of the quality of the camera work is staggering...together with the 'story' makes for superb watching. Time to retire Attenborough...there's a new 'kid' in town.

But they make rather different films: nature and overlanding.

You sir, create the absolute most incredible overlanding videos on the entire planet. Period.

I'm born on the wrong continent, in a country wheres no nature at all and where you can't see the stars at night, cause every 30 meters theres a street light that stays on for all night. I live in a country where you cant drive offroad at all cause there are houses and buildings all over the place, wheres no way to escape from the daily pressure. Even at night you can't cross the street without looking twice or you got hit by a car. And then i see this videos.... GOD i love those vids and story's ! Every time i'm dreaming away, wish i could live like that. Thank you Andrew, keep living the dream !

I watch a lot of channels on KZfaq and have even given up TV for many years now. One of the joys of this channel is your ability to convey a story though film. You have very interesting stories to tell and commentary that is relevant, and actually funny. But the film, the pictures and the drone flights really capture my imagination, so thank you. My Patreon dollars are well spent.

G’day Andrew... ExPat living in the USA (“Somewhere in the middle of America”) i have been enjoying your videos for many years, and i am right at this moment re-living vicariously through your videos. It has been so many years since i travelled throughout Australia, but with your videos it seems like yesterday Mate... Thanks for what you do and bringing all this fabulous content for the world to see. Cheers Wes.

I think in the first 30 seconds of this video you encapsulated everything I feel about getting out into the bush. Things only got better from there... Wow I am going to love watching this series. The only part of what you do I don't envy would be the time tables you have to meet. In the past I have been lucky enough to travel without and great time limits. I hope you also have the chance to do that because that is real freedom.

Funny how some can do this easy and others wouldn't dream about it... I drove road trains Sydney - Perth for two years (Dubbo to Northam in 48 hours at times), last motorcycle trip was 7,330klm Sydney, Port Augusta, Uluru, Mt Isa and back to Dubbo then Sydney and alone in 10 days, I couldn't do it any other way.. Have yet to 4wd it which will entail places I wouldn't dare try on a motorcycle and didn't have time for in the truck... the plans are in motion which is why I'm watching from another's perspective: so much more to learn and see and I'm only 63 (omg that rhymes) Awesome video's each and every one you're in and love the music. That place where the Nullarbor touches the ocean is one of the few places I (apparently illegally) pulled up one night in the road train, you can feel the life in the earth, it really is magical.

@nikkisun5546 6 жыл бұрын

I like the way you set up a topic before you speak about it. For example, the shot of the truck facing the ocean, into the wind, at sunset. It gave me a feeling of being exposed and alone. At that moment you spoke about the very same thing.

Mr. St. Pierre White, I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Your presentation, video production value, and no nonsense approach is a beautiful thing. I rarely watch my television anymore, as most of the content is over produced, saturated with fake drama, and just unwatchable. Please be safe, and keep the videos coming.

We want to camp next to the beach along the Great Ocean Drive and hopefully they have free camping sites. Looking forward to watch your videos and hopefully I can travel around Australia in a 4WD like yours in future :)

I realize I've arrived rather late, but hope you'll see this. Mr White, I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one afflicted with the duplicity of being lonely, but also careful to avoid people. I too, enjoy solitude during the day, but have pangs of loneliness at night, but still pointedly avoid people. I often wonder if this is a condition long associated with being a vagabond, or wayfarer, or if it is something unique unto myself. Thank you for sharing your adventures, I enjoy your videos immensely.

Andrew, I totally understand you love of travelling alone and so do I 99% of the time as a travel writer. I also feel the same way during the day, and at night. It is only at night that I feel lonely, but I would rather spend it alone than with other people......it is the introvert in me.
