You guys came through a week or 2 after us by the looks of it, what a massive difference big red was. Solid effort, nice vid mate👍

Thanks mate. Big red was chopped up and all that water was crazy. Apparently it's pretty bad at the moment.

Oh yeah for a bunch of average riders we killed it. Perfect conditions might have helped.

What an awesome video Marty. That's quite ballsy stuff indeed. I wouldn't be comfortable doing it myself, but then I have not 4WD or off-road bike experience really. Hey one thing that worried me a little was you filming the cars drive by you. If they suddenly slid out a bit you might've got hit. Just be careful buddy.

Thanks, Yeah there was one car that did not know that I was there. Most car drivers were communicating on the UHF and we would give them notice that we were coming their way as a heads up, also our support drivers relayed info to them. But yes it would be easy for something to go wrong and it's a long way from medical care.

Great video mate very enjoyable. Love the montage, we appreciate your hard work. Much drier during our crossing Ayre creek was passable 500 meters south of main crossing. Heck that was an interesting approach to big red 😅

It was not the best approach to Big Red. I will do it differently next time and with more speed. I hope all is going well with your journey, let's catch up soon,

@@HardPackedADV No you did well mate, I was referring to the inland sea as you approached. Yes having a great time. The horse trailer you saw seems to have been abandoned. Unfortunately the CSR is flooded so that is a bit of a bummer I was looking forward to it.
