Tourist /campers will always be around like you were one yourself. Times change so there are a lot more now. Finke River is a paid campground run by the National Park. It’s just a shame when these places are mistreated. However it was well kept when we were there.

@@lappnitup Oh yes, I was definitely one. :) There were no camp grounds, no defined trails, we had to carry everything we needed especially water, extra fuel spare tubes, 4 spare tyres, winch, and all sorts of recovery gear. I saw the odd caravan abandoned along what was once call the 'camel track' around the Gulf of Carpentaria, all the rivets vibrated out of the external cladding, all internal fittings vibrated into bits and pieces. I was taught from a very young age that the only thing you left in the bush were foot prints. Burying all fire pits and carrying all other rubbish with you. When I first traveled in Arnhem land, Kakadu was still very remote and you needed to notify police of your travel plans. Now days Kakadu is called Kakadon't. The courtesy of calling into a station homestead, or contacting the station by radio was all that was required for permission to camp. The maps we used were military style, no mobile phone service or GPS locators. Port Douglas to Bamaga on Cape York took many days. I really hope you enjoy all your outback adventures. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Brenton, 😂😂😂exactly ‘were’ for about 6 months!!!! Feeling a lot safer now with BFG’s. From the ground you would never know how amazing the scenery really is until the drone does it’s thing. Just stunning out there. 😊😊

Thanks John 😊. It was an easy place to photograph as it is so stunning 😊

Thanks guys 🙏, definitely do the West Mac’s. They are truly amazing and not that far out of Alice. Hope you guys are well 😘

Thanks Ron 😊, it’s an amazing place that’s for sure. The scenery is stunning. All good with the new tyres so far. Feeling a bit safer now 👍

That’s awesome 😊 thanks guys 👍

It’s a fantastic name!! Hope you enjoyed the videos 😊

😂😂😂😂

Thanks Tracie 🙏 Oh really? We were told by Tyrepower that because we’d been on the Gibb River Road with lowered pressures that we’d weakened the walls. Funny that 1000’s of people do the same road with no problems later on with their tyres!! Even the front tyres had cracks on the inside seam when we replaced them so they would have blown at some stage too !! Scary stuff. A lot of money for 6 months usage 🙄

Vet in a Van hadn’t done the gibb. They had done corrugations but they put the spare on and I don’t think they really went anywhere once the tyre was changed. I will have to rewatch. We have done a lot of corrugations with our pressures up and down and not had a problem with our tyres they are the original A/T that came with the cruiser.

And that’s how they should be! All Terrain doesn’t mean some terrain! I’ll have to find that episode too of Vet in a van. We’ve had Mickey T’s for quite a few years (different sets). We also had a blowout without the van on about 4 years ago. The walls just seem to let go. We had not been on the gibb then either!!

It’s the Dampier Peninsula Lombadina Community episode

Awesome. We’ll check it out 👍
