Hey guys, so this stopover was only planned to be part of an episode until the events happened and it became a whole story on its own! As it happened. What a crazy night we will never forget.
I camped on a small island during a full moon. Misjudged high tide and woke up at 1am underwater. Wife saved us. She woke up first. “Do you hear water???” Lol.
My mate and I got caught out on a King Tide one night and we'd polished off a box of beer, he woke up to the sound of water braking on the swag, anyway I was passed out I'm a deep deep sleeper, he said it took him between 5 and 10 minutes to get me up before I got swept out.
Rope swings never get old. Mannn, that would have been rather exciting. Cool that you guys could experience it and get it on film. We all speak or hear of such things, but never get a good feel for it. This REALLY let's ya see it first hand how quickly mother nature can change things.
Yep king tide at Dundee Beach NT camping mouth of the river. Mrs woke me up to water right at us and retreated to roof rack of car. Woke up water was right at the car with open 100m or so away from us. Lesson learnt there.
This happened to me and my mum and step dad when I was about 6 years old - we went to stay at Ross River, NT, from Alice. As we got close, we had to go over a couple of small river crossings. Half way between two, there were flash foods from the rain which had already hit upstream, and all the river crossings flooded over big time. We tried to go forward, but it was too deep, so tried going back to the last one and that was already flooded too! I spent the night sleeping in the boot of the car, while the others stayed up in the pouring rain to make sure we didn't get washed away by flood waters 😅🤣 I still remember it vividly, seeking out the centre console thing in the boot to watch the lightning and rain haha 😅✌🌱
I got flooded out of Karijini and the Tom Price to Karratha access road that day, the rain never stopped. The roads were under 1m of water for a good 40km
Did you say Ashburton? I live very close to Ashburton in Devon, UK... haha 🙃 I recently got a 4x4 Delica and am converting it to a basic but off-road capable camper. Your video are really top shelf, quality mate, keep it up. 🙏
Although I've never been flooded out while tent camping, I was part of the rescue crew (several decades ago) that had to rescue campground guests, that were next to a river. Heavy equipment was brought in because the water got so deep within a few hours & then overflowed. A bucket loader got into deep enough water that the air in the massive tires made it float! 0_o /Stay vigilant people, & check the weather forecast. We saved a lot of people that night!
Living on the east coast, I’m hugely jealous of the outback campsites that WA has in abundance. Nearest outback camp from where I live would be a solid 3-5 hour drive away.
Wow. It’s always amazing to see how quick the water comes up. I was going to travel these areas on our lap around but decided to keep to the coast instead. I might regret it after seeing this series lol.
Ronny: setting up camp in daylight.. The gods: this isn’t right, flood them! Ronny: having to pack up move elsewhere and set back up at night The gods: arrr much better
So cool! Awesome to experience a rain event like that, so critical to the desert ecosystem and yet an abundance that clearly contrasts with the sparse landscape I bet the rain may have also cleared the atmosphere of dust helping out your astrophotography as well
11:45. I've been wondering for a while what you do about the salt with all the beach driving. It's amazing how salt can eat up a vehicle from the inside out.
great video Ronny the astral photography opportunities in Australia are the best i have ever viewed that alone would be worth the trip besides visiting my cousins there looking forward to the next episode 👍
I'm always surprised to see you swimming in the rivers or wading across as i expect them to be full of crocodiles. Maybe I watched too many Steve Irwin shows.
This one is the second shortest the other short one will be released as a bonus but the others are 20-30 mins long. I don’t edit them to be a specific length they are edited so they are good to watch otherwise they drag out
@@Ronny_Dahl No Worries Ronny & Thanks, I could sit for hours watching your videos, & unlike another few channels you actually go places everyone can, also you dont have to have big tyres, big lift, big bar work & little intelligence as their flogging the crap outa the poor 4X4. Those sort of channels give people especially young morons the wrong perception & expectations when wheeling in the bush. I think/hope you understand what Im trying to say Mate, Steve.
Awesome journey Ronny, man that map transition at the end was perfect! Is that an after effects template that you are using for your map now? I can’t find a decent one to use for my channel, it’s a bugger trying to find a decent one that looks good. Loving the editing on this series anyway, doing all of my own editing and 🎞 I know how hard it can be
R/D. Struth - drinking 'Emu Export' must be getting desperate from a bloke who lives in the northern suburbs Lapaside ! Is there a taller kitchen sink which Torb's pointed out with your camper trailer ? V.
Hey Ronny - interested in your thoughts on the James Baroud roof top tent. You had one on your trailer... but it appears to be no longer there, so guessing you don’t rate it? Cheers for your videos.
Just a suggestion - your narrative is quite interesting, however, it's obvious you wrote it down and then read it. Sounds very robotic and not natural. Your normal "ad lib" presentation would be better :)
