I'm going to buy shares in Stagg Chili.

As a dumb American, when I heard "Beds are Burning" back in the day, I was thinking 45 degrees Fahrenheit. I thought that was chilly]:

😁

Did the Tanami solo in a 4wd in 2017, it wasn't too bad but I hear it has deteriorated since then. Well done, great travelogue as usual.

hi mate, great videos keep them comming, i plan a trip through the great central road next year, could you give me a tip on the best time of year to do it im assuming some time in very early spring depending on the wet weather, im planning on going in a 2wd falcon RTV ute. any tips would be great thanks

My wife and I travelled the Tanami in 1985 in our Troopy. The corrugations were so severe the troopy struggled to maintain speed. We camped one night on the top of the granites to get away from the spinifex. What a glorious dawn we had from up there (no mine then). Rabbit Flat was open, run by a French family. We bought diesel and a t-shirt emblazoned ‘Rabbit Flat Australia’s most remote roadhouse’. Loving your videos.

Thank you again for sharing these ups and downs and reality of bike touring. We look forward to seeing those parts of the country at some point in our life.

A relatively problem-free episode, for a change... But still what beautiful countryside whizzes by!

So nice to see all the Places i rode on my pushy.... Tanami was one of my favorite tracks Rabbit flats closed the year i rode through and i had to carry 40L of water to get me to Yuendemu , I stopped in at the Mine to ask about topping up water and they were super nice even let me use the shower at the Guard house , I left my titanium coffee mug in the bathroom and left to Alice thought it was lost forever , i met a bunch of Moto riders heading north to do the CSR asked them to stop in and see if my mug was there...... a day later a 4x4 pulled up with MUG in hand ...things you will never forget in the outback Great times ...Thanks Steve for the memories!!!

Grania Steve you're finally got the milk mate about time😢

Roo tail, real fast food.

As always Steve, 'I just love" your work. Thanks buddy.

Thanks Steve, you learn something everyday - I always thought that Midnight Oil song went: "From Kintore East to Ularu". Now I know that it is actually Yuendemu. Real shame about that aboriginal boy loosing his life but hey I guess that is what happens when you try to stab a copper with a pair of scissors.

Are any of those isolated Aboriginal communities self sustainable,or do they rely on government handouts?

Hi Steve, A fascinating series, thanks for taking the time to record and not least of all edit these videos so that all us slackers and grasshoppers can see from the comfort of our arm chairs. Greetings from sweden.

Hi Steve, another great video. I was at Kings Canyon Resort a few ago, I also took a wrong turn, resulting in me taking the scenic route in a Corolla past Hermannsberg and Mereenie.

Every time I watch your stuff, I just want to jump on the bike and head to the bush. Keep up the fantastic work. Cheers. BTW, how old is that jacket you're wearing? Man that must have done some k's.....

JP on the Africa Twin and Chris on the DR650 both have the same soft panniers, a canvas type with a star emblem on it. What are they? They look like the go. Tall and deep, but not too wide.

Awesome tunes !! Does anyone knows the name of the DJ song starting at 3 min???? Btw big fan of your videos!!!! Inspired me heaps

Jeez what an awesome journey. Wide open spaces, stunning landscapes, varied terrain and a big blue sky.

That's DJ from @AutomotiveKarnage. What a bloke!

The one positive of Corona, is that many of the outback Settlements have been revitalised with travellers, thanks mate

The missus and I did the Tanimi August this year in a Hiace, I did think it was too bad a track. Just drove to the conditions. Thanks for you videos, always enjoy watching them. I have a Honda 300 Rally.

Love watching your adventures, could you explain some of your equipment you take with you please.

Thanks for the content always enjoyable. Question would you feel comfortable doing a trip like that solo? Is it safe enough in the outback?

Loving the series, beautiful country, Thanks Steve.

Love your work Mr Bly. Thanks for sharing.

I lived in Laverton for many years, my dad had the workshop directly across the road from the hospital.

Good video, really enjoying this series, and there it is a traffic light right in the middle of the of bum #uck nowhere.

I seen your at papunya

Thanks Steve, got to hear the "grab youre gear". Nice hearing m/oil and its story and traffic lights in the sticks. Here is S /africa that would be in 3 person job on each end. Ride safe thks for sharing😊

I find nothing boring on this ride at all

Thank you, looks amazing but way to hot for me, i will sit back and keep watching youre channel in a cooler climate.

I’ve been along The Tanami one and a half times. First time in 1994 in a Troopy from Halls Creek to Alice. Second time in 2010 towing a caravan from Top Springs south through Kalkarindji and Lajamanu popping out onto the Tanami at the gold mine. We turned left and went to Alice Springs. I hated the corrugations so much. That track/road was, probably still is, a vehicle destroyer.

Mate, another great episode. The DR650 never ceases to amaze , just getting it done! Thanx for taken us along.

When I was doing tours out of the Alice in 78 - 79 the only black stuff (outside of a few communities) was the Stuart as far south as Kulgera, then it was rough as guts dirt/sand with a few sections of razor sharp stone to give your tyres a hard time down to Pymba. Most roads in the Territory were dirt and the road you showed, which you described as a connection between two bigger roads, were indicative of the Northern Territory roads including the road out to Ayres Rock which were narrow, windy in many places, corrugated and with bulldust here and there. There weren't any caravans on these roads but the ones that tried the trip were left off the side of the road as totally destroyed carcasses.

I've heard catching up to the grader is considered bad luck by some 😁

I'm sure you guys can afford $30 dollars... and definitely $20... LOL... Like you said, BF nowhere and the people need to get money from somewhere... LoL.

The Kings Canyon countryside could pass for another planet... Great video and thank you for sharing.

Thank you for making such nice videos and posting them here. I’m living in Thailand where I do lots of bicycle touring and for many years have thought about going to the Philippines for a bicycle tour. As I’ve just finished the videos I haven’t yet processed if touring looked good or bad there. But it has got me thinking.

Great video Steve ride safe

Your video's illicit inspiration in those of us who've traversed the outback and those of us who plan to. Network stations take heed, this is how you do it !

Went through Rabbit Flat in 1997 for fuel. Very very expensive even back then. Our travelling companion’s daughter jumped out of their vehicle and asked “where are the bunnies “. We still get a laugh from thinking back to our trip. Cheers

Yundamu.. quiet a notable town. TIES to the original Bush Mechanics series. Jacinta N Price has links to the town & her mother was also a NT minister and Activist. AFL, art etc.. small population & quiet allot of history. The Granites ( Newmont Tanami ) is one of the furthest mines from the coast anywhere in Aust. Top video as usual.

G'day Steve, my father drove through Rabbit flat on his way to Fitzroy crossing around 1980. The place was not much back then. Just basic supplys. Cheers and thanks for the vidios. Butch

Steve I have to agree - many of the remote communities are surrounded by absolutely stunning scenery. The Mereenie Loop is an atrocious road for which one must purchase a permit - A toll road ! ! Safe travels.

Thanks Steve, I'm livin' vicariously - much appreciated 👏👏

Excellent. As always you leave us wanting more.

Is Bruce still alive? I think I still have his landline phone number in my phone book. I would stop there on my tours every two months. Jacky would always sit inside behind a small window with bars. Mate, not finding a camp spot on the Tanami is like saying there is no place to take a piss. Lots of great spots with nice scenery and no neighbours and no generators.

😎👍
