We have lived here for 37 yrs. Came for 12 months! Love the place and the culture and the people. Bob at tyre power is a good fella. Thanks for promoting our little piece of paradise!
Hey guys, another great episode! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures in and around Nhulunbuy. It was awesome. So much useful and interesting information, thank you! See you next week, safe travels ❤
Great video, brought back so many memories for me, I worked up there on the original site 1970, hard to take in changes, amazing. thanks again DM Mazarron Spain
G,day to you both, and thanks for the reply, i could write a book of the life experience of my time in the top end, your videos are, for me very emotive, just tracking you on the track to daliwuy, i remember an encounter with a goanna the size of a small croc, I still have the photo, running from a scrub fire, as were we all in our old F100 site truck, I recognised instantly from your vid at the back of the walkabout ( a building site then) the Family flats complex, I guess the old site compound has been built over by now , back in 70/71 it was a proper bush camp of some 2,000 souls, admin, dining,med centre ect, and pretty rough as you can imagine, but I loved it, almost pioneering if that makes sense, being at the start of a project of building a new town ( Nabalco) and the joint agents, D;J;M ( Dillingham,Jennings,Mainline) Global consortium, to become Gove/ Nhulunbuy. Hopefully it will not end up being a victim of the global market that that spawned it for its minerals ( Bauxite) Happy Travels, its a special country. DM @@beyondthegreyoz
@@DavidMorris-q4s that sound amazing thank you so much for sharing that. There certainly is a special feel about the place, different to anywhere we have been! Can just picture what it must’ve been like back then Cheers
Save bit of money, get a tyre repair kit (tee handle and sticky plugs, tek screws and rubber cement also work well), a few bottles of slime and a valve removal tool, also ditch the highway tyres for bf Goodrich all terrains = less puntures
