Its been of my favourite parts of watching back the video, its kind of addictive. Worst part of the drone is I always think its the last time I'll ever see it when I launch it, especially out over the ocean, but so far its always come back.

Good on ya mate, great trip. I am enjoying watching however, you have convinced me that I never want to do a trip like that on my VStrom. Miles and miles of bloody nothing. I also watch Steve from mongrel dog productions , he does the most horrendous trips into central Australia and he enjoys every minute of the dust, the heat, the flies and the nothingness I understand the concept that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that country is not my idea of fun.. I’m having fun watching you suffer through.

I got to the big towers in 1967, 23 years old at the time with a shearing team. Phoned my parents in Victoria courtesy of the station owner. It was amazing- press button on an old fashioned phone to talk. Do not think I need to revisit that bit of my youth. Enjoying your trip!

About to do across Australia bought a VFR800X Cross country for the trip, Newcastle via Broken Hill then down to the nullabor across to Mandurah back via Kalgoorlie across to the coast back up the Great ocean road then up through the Mt Kosciousko national park. Two things was looking at seat padding anything you would advise? and any other tips?

Sounds like an amazing trip. I used an Airhawk seat pad and they are worth their weight in gold in my opinion. Other advise would take as little stuff as possible and pack the weight as low as possible. Other than that, just get out there and have fun.

If you think Broome was expensive when you were there, it's just as well you didn't try during the peak of the covid era. The locals charge without conscience any time but during covid they absolutely milked it rto the max. I only go into Broome to re-provision and then get the hell out of it. Better to accomodate at Roebuck Plains and drive in on a daily basis. Barn Hill is a better stop than Pardoo, you can walk down to the beach whereas at Pardoo you have a drive. $78 for a tent site in Exmouth is quite simply extortion/theft. That cannot be justified other than pure greed.

I guess it’s “The Market”. If everything is full then the solution appears to be keep raising the price until people stop paying then turn it down a notch.
