Man oh man, there are no words to describe the sheer beauty of the place. What an absolute privilege. Scotty thank you so much for sharing this, it’s so cold & gloomy here in Sussex England, this brought us some warmth & joy. Cheers 🍻 buddy. Make the most of these summer days.

Immediately recognised this spot from the first frame. Spent a lot of nights camping there. Best experience I had there was waking up on a freezing cold night to find a brumby bedding down next to my swag and campfire. Just sat and watched her snooze until sunrise. My favourite spot in all of Australia by far.

Scotty, that's bloody beautiful, mate! Wow... and an added sensory element for me, a fire has started somewhere near me here, while im watching your video, and I can smell the bush, along with a soft smoke haze. Can't figure where it is, hoping it's not dangerous. Your skills, both bush and photography/cinematography are up there, Scotty. Thank you for your inspirations and passion.

Don't know what access to fly gear you have, but if you can, I'd recommend a Rio 2 or 3 weight rod and whatever reel to make it a bit more of a fight and just much more enjoyable to cast all day especially to small trout.

Hi Scotty been watching your vids with much interest, great work love em, fly fishing try fishing closer to the banks, and try and stay off the skyline, silhouetted against the sky, you need an experienced fly fisherman to help you catch more fish, those streams are great to fish, tight lines.

The scenery as always was sensational but this one outdid itself on the cinematography. The fishing clips were great, the views breathtaking and for once the camera did actually make that climb look steep. Often people say that the camera does not do any justice to the scenery or the steepness of a hill, but I would say this one came pretty close to giving us a good idea 👍 I loved the ready to go swag set up this time and seeing that neatly fit in into your 45 Litre Fjallraven pack shows how compact that really is - I’m Impressed.

Hey scotty, just a tip in them deep plunge pools fish a beed head hares ear or pheasant tail nymph get it down to the bottom and fish the fast flowing water coming of the falls you will be surprised how many fish you will catch!

I think you may of been suffering from the very early symptoms of heat stroke. In my opinion brought on due to the lack of a full brim hat.. I’m in my mid seventies now. When I was possibly sixteen.I went out hunting for no more than 4 hour in very hot weather with no hat . I was bed ridden for two days due to heat stroke. I was very lucky that at the homestead there were two nurses who recognised the symptoms.
