G'day friends, in this week of our Vanlife Australia Road Trip we head south from Wave Rock to the Stirling Ranges to tackle the mighty Bluff Knoll Hike. Renowned as a tough hike with a LOT of steps. It's literally steps all the way up (and back down).
We were super lucky with the weather, we had blue skies and very light winds, which meant we could get some amazing drone footage.
But the hike was tough... really tough. Will we make it??

What a cracker of a video.... Poor Sue was clearly suffering. I hate walks that incorporate lots of steps too, Sue, so I felt your pain.... (Not really as I was watching) When you kissed the van, I nearly fell off my chair. Thanks so much.... I apologise for laughing at your suffering. Tassie has heaps of great day walks, so when you get here, you will be in walk heaven. Cheers.

I’m glad you got a laugh Peter!! It’s not the first time I’ve got back from a tough adventure and hugged the van!! And yes, we are looking forward to Tassie soon!

We did this 6 years ago. (We are now 67 & 70). When we got back to our camper commando crawled on the floor to the bed ! It was one of our hardest climbs but we'll worth it. The Dream Time story of this area is really good & you can see how it relates to the Bluff &, the weather. Now your knees will be buggered like ours 😂

Thanks Sandra, we will have to look up that story. Usually we take the time to learn those things when we are there but we were pressed for time with the road closure

What can I say but WOW! Thanks so much to going to the effort to produce this wonderful video, including the drone footage. Wow again - you lucky buggers. I know what it's like to suffer like you did Sue, but in the end, it's so worth it, right? I've almost caught up with the episodes.

thanks so much David, it was a great hike, well worth the discomfort of not being able to walk for a few days afterwards. Hope you enjoy our videos going forward too!

Hahaha loved this episode, even loved the fact that you did this hike, so us viewers don't have to lol! My knees are stuffed so bravo Sue for completing with "dickey knees", mine gave out in Gundabooka Nat Park yesterday, so rest day today for me lol😊

Hats off to you both. Sue, you had me in fits on your return. Congrats on making it 😊 I got about half way up before pulling the pin due to knee and feet issues, I would have pushed myself to get to the top but would definitely have needed a helicopter to get out. 😅 It was good to see through your eyes and know it is challenging 😁
@nigelandsueadventures
@nigelandsueadventures Год назад
Very challenging! We had been warned but I don’t think I expected it to be as tough as it was. Glad we made it though

Good to see you guys eating baked beans. Here almost nobody eats them, they think that they are disgusting and it's the one English food that is so easy to buy in England and here you have to search in the supermarket for them. Great video again. Keep up the good work.

@geoffotaylor2276 Год назад
Brilliant views from the top. Who built the stairs. I wonder if they walked up with the materials every day or did they have a Nigel to help them. Drone work again second to none and the music is fantastic. You guys are great film makers.
@nigelandsueadventures
@nigelandsueadventures Год назад
Cheers Geoffo, that means a lot. And yeah not sure about the building of the stairs, but I would assume they had heli support.

Wow. What a hike. I was relieved to see you get back to the van. Having intermittent trouble with my knees I felt for you. I hope you got to have a good rest up after that track. Awesome job. Love the sunset too. Some spectacular scenery with some suitable music as well. 😊🤗💖 PS Loved the drone footage. You were so fortunate with the weather. 😀
