Katie and I put down some distance as we drive right across the top of Australia, around the Gulf of Carpentaria. Along the way we go paddling in a breathtaking gorge, soak in wilderness hot springs, find plenty of dust and corrugations and some stunning places along the way!

that water looks amazing…
Here in America we call that powdery dust Moon dust
Amazing! I don't know how you don't have five million subscribers by now…
From the tip of Alaska to the south of Australia, I follow you everywhere.
Thank you sir, I travel through your eyes while I battle the cancer that took my freedom.
Lovely video. How do The gladiator handel all The weight of your gear.
Looks so remote. Passing that road train would scare the crap out of me on a tiny two lane road 😝
How has traveling with a partner been since you have always been alone on other trips?
What makes the water so green? Is there copper in it or some mineral?
Incredible!
The remoteness is so fantastic. This is what I pictured Australia to be like. Amazing video.
Love the video, thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
Very good video Dan and Kate,
AMAZING scenery! Thank you for sharing!
Amazing footage, thanks for sharing guys!
I did the same on that water way over 20 years ago. Looks the same now.
I think a video about the jeep would be interesting, what has been working well so far, have there been any issues? What does maintenance look like on the road etc
Hope you wore pants in the spring. You don't want a goanna biting off your willy.
Aaaaah, this is bringing back so many great memories
You're very entertaining because of your positive attitude.
Maybe those goannas grow up to be salties. Just saying. 🐊
Thanks for all the inspiration, Dan and Katie!
Makes me want to visit Australia! Great video!
What is that in the road at 22:37?
This was fantastic Dan!
The book on this expedition will be the Bible for Australian adventure!
You sir, know how to make a real overland channel and know how to make it epic.
All the other channels pale by comparison.
You plan, you build what you need based on experience, you go on these incredible trips and you know how to document them.
No BS, you just get on with it.
Well done my friend!
And that mail box is hilarious!
P.S. can’t wait for the boomerang lesson.🪃
Lol
Great video! I was wondering today what I can see when crossing the Gulf soon and there you go, read my mind.
I’m looking forward to your take on the Canning Stock Route. Other channels that make the trip, prepare like a full-on military expedition. I believe your Jeep will make easy work of it! ( just another day in 4wd)
Dan, had you considered running cables from your bull bar to the roof rack to protect your windshield? (ala Camel Trophy ) might be helpful in the thick brush.👍
DAN, THIS IS YOUR BEST VIDEO EVER!!! AMAZING 💙💙💙
Amazing! Thanks for putting out my favorite content on Youtube.
Loved the mailbox!
Cool cave! And camsite
Amazing video well Done cant whait to see more!
Your partner was in her Canadian element in the canoe, bit of portage😂👍🏻
