Hey guys and welcome to a little special filler program from All 4 Adventure.
Last time we made the terminal marker of the Queensland/Northern Territory border on the
Gulf of Carpentaria.
How we lookin', mate?
Well...
remember, this is only an approximate.
We love approximate.
Yeah well, you know no one's really marked it.
So according to this...
Like...
How far off are we?
42 meters.
Serious?
There.
Look!
Oh!
There it is there!
I'll be buggered.
Is that it?
Yeah, that's a concrete post, mate.
Oh look at that.
I thought we're gonna be milling around the bush for an hour looking for that.
I thought the same.
No way.
Look at that.
That is it.
Well done.
1886.
Good job, mate.
All the way from New South Wales.
This is about as far north as we're gonna get on this border.
That's it.
We proudly relaid a plaque for the museum.
Let's lay that sucker.
And that is where the show ended for you guys.
There you go, folks.
Look at the end of the day, it was worth every little bit of effort getting in here.
Don't you think?
It was a journey and a half, and the pay-off, mate, look we put a plaque up.
Yeah we did.
That's the first time we've stamped ourselves into history and hopefully this plaque here
will stand the test of time.
Oh yeah and Simon was wrecking stuff.
Now usually we don't film our return journeys, but we thought we'd give you a small fix
in between the shows.
So come along and enjoy the adventure.
[music]
The gulf coast is an amazing spot, and scrub bulls roam free on the beach.
Nice life for a cow.
It's a remote bit of coastline, and you'll always find something interesting.
Now also, there's this great little coastal tree I'd like you to see before we head back inland.
It's a great little survival tool.
So this tree here it's called the fire stick tree.
Well it's actual real name is coastal hibiscus, but I call the fire stick tree because this
is where I can get all my fire sticks.
That's the bit I want.
I can physically grab the dried-out timber off this tree and start a fire.
And that's with the bow and drill method.
So this will be my base.
That's our drill.
Let's see if we can do it.
Drill all good?
Bow's good.
See how we go.
We've got smoke there, Simon.
No, we're not there yet.
We're close.
It'll burst into flames all by itself, that one.
No it won't.
You need your little v-thing now.
Not quite.
Not.
Quite.
There yet.
Nearly.
You go. You're fresh. You go fresh.
Give it a whirl.
Nearly there. Keep her going. Keep her going.
Nope.
I quit.
Let's go.
I'm done.
Give me one more go.
Come on, baby.
It's close.
What have you got there?
It's a modern-day Bic.
French, I think.
So it is. Made in France.
That was quick.
We keep heading back to camp where the mog and the D-max are parked up.
Now we're running out a light but the pigs are active after dusk,
and we spot a few oinkers on the way back.
And they love to run.
[music]
Day five out here on country starts like any other...
Badly.
Come back, come back, I'm bogged.
Okay, here's the plan.
Dave? You line yourself up out in front of Jase.
Away so he can use his winch. Find yourself somewhere hard.
And then I'm going to hook onto the back of you, and then he can winch off the two of us.
Simon is not his happy self.
Here we are, we finished the laying of our plaque.
We're on our way out, and we're skirting to try and get out.
It's like, don't drive in any wet spots, Jase.
And what does he do?
He goes and drives into a drain.
And now we're filming and we're bogged properly.
Do I look happy? That would be a negative.
He does love a good bogging.
Yeah, maybe not.
We're on our way out this morning after completing the border marker,
and of course when you come in, you gotta get out.
Now I haven't driven anywhere near where we got bogged last time.
I tried to move away from that wet patch, and I thought what was a crossing here was
a lot wetter than it looked.
The other vehicles just rolled straight over at.
Simon and caravan just roll straight over it.
Whereas this? No, it doesn't roll straight over.
It gets bogged.
And we got the problem is I don't think I've got 4-wheel drive, because that airline is broken.
It's not even engaging 4-wheel drive, let alone diff locks.
So I'm going to have to fix that as well, because we're in two-wheel drive.
First things first, we'll get rid of the trailer.
46-inch tyres, hey?
And the D-max has to recover him again.
How's them 46s going for you there, buddy?
You still goin' on about that?
You started it.
All righty.
That's messy, dude.
Yeah, it is a bit messy.
We're going to try and get your trailer off first.
We've got to fix 4-wheel drive is what we gotta fix.
We gotta fix that too.
All we need to do is probably just take the pin out
and let the whole thing slide straight out, what do you reckon?
There you go.
Pin's out.
All right, go back.
Go backwards.
I probably should have taken that jack out first.
Epic fail on the jack.
Why is that? What's it doin'?
I was expecting a nice, easy drive out of here this morning.
Nothing like a good bogging to get the blood pumping in the morning, hey Simon?
Don't make me come over there.
Are you gonna have a go at fixing that thing?
What thing?
The 4-wheel drive.
Yeah.
Look at how hard it is.
Hard as a rock.
Except when I drive over it.
Hey Simon.
Hey.
I think we got diff locks.
I mean I think we got four-wheel drive, but no diff lock.
Because have a look. See here?
This wheel spun.
Oh it did too - look.
See that?
Yeah it did.
Yeah, this wheel spun.
Yes.
So we got 4-wheel drive.
Yeah, you got 4-wheel drive, yeah.
But we don't have diff locks.
Oh that's all good then.
So we'll see how we go, hey?
Yeah, yeah, it spun heaps.
Yeah?
Yeah.
All right, mate, I'll just build up this air pressure.
Cross fingers we get out. We do have 4-wheel drive.
For a minute there, I thought we had nothing.
That reminds me I better put it in 4-wheel drive.
Every time we stop the truck you've got to take it out.
There's a pump that runs to pressurize the diff centres.
All right. We're good to go. Air pressure's up.
Low, low first.
Brakes are off.
Loaded up.
Come on, baby, come on.
Oh don't spin, don't spin too much.
You were going good. Try not to spin so much.
Come on, baby.
Stop, stop, stop, we need to re-Maxtrax.
[music]
Alright, mate, are we ready to go again?
Take two.
That's the way. Nice and steady.
Yeah, all good. Nice and steady.
When you get to the top of the Maxtrax, we can put some more under.
If you get to the end of those Maxtrax, we'll put some more under.
Actually you want to have a look at them now?
Yeah I'll hold it here.
Yeah, they're disappearing. They're not really lifting.
I think they to go -- they are lifting but I think they need to go sideways.
We're gettin' out.
That wheel has lifted up a bit.
But the Maxtrax are disappearing into the abyss.
We put them sideways now so that they don't sort of just disappear into it, because what's
happening is it's so sloppy, it's pushing it down.
But if you put them sideways, obviously you don't get as much surface area that way, but
what it does, it spreads the load.
And the track actually lifts the tyre out a lot better or lifts a truck out.
Come on, baby.
Get your big, heavy, lazy 46-inch tyres out of the puss.
Can you see what's happening?
Yeah you're coming out. You're all good.
We're out.
We're out, baby. We are out.
Apparently there's some Maxtrax in there.
I think we need to winch them out.
What do you reckon?
Look at that.
There they are.
One pair. Two pair.
There's another pair in there.
I think we need to get the rear winch, hey?
They're in there.
They are in there big time.
That's how we get our Maxtrax back.
From the pit of death.
No way.
I expected that rope to go long before that.
If we were really smart, because this is where you got bogged, we'd just chuck you up on
there, and I'll come in with mine and finish pulling that out with my winch.
Yeah, you won't pull it out. It's gone down into a puss now. But have a look at it.
Should have dragged it backwards.
We don't want to get...
We don't get the mog bogged again, because this still is a wet patch here.
It may not look it, but for this thing, it is.
See there it was bogging down.
You're gonna need to hop in and drive forward, I reckon.
Or I would put on the brake, because it's moving the truck.
Big bad unimog, bogged to the eyeballs.
Come on.
Come on, baby, out you get. Come on, come on.
Come on.
9:47--I haven't even had my first coffee yet.
I'm going to use the front winch now, because it's got all the anchor points on the front.
Because I'm going to pulley block it.
Make it easier.
This thing is bogged now.
And this hopefully will double the load of the winch,
and get this thing out, because it is stuck.
Come on, baby.
Come on, out you pop.
Come on.
It's going; it's going.
Wheels are turning.
It's gonna pop up in a second.
Up she goes, up she goes.
She's out!
Hell yeah, we're out.
Happy days.
Hey Simon.
Copy.
Yeah, mate, this little wet patch here in front of us, this is the last little bit, hey.
But I think you'd better sort of roll me across.
Pick a spot for me, and I'll run through.
All over that.
Let's get that big girl out of here.
All right, so you roll first.
This gully here, and if you keep to the edge of it, you'll be able to get a bit of speed on through here.
There's just a bit of soft sand and we're good.
The problem is his caravan can go over it.
Him and the caravan can go over it and nothing would happen.
I drive over it and go straight through it.
All right mate, through you come. You want to come to my... this side.
Yeah, gotcha.
My right if I'm facing that way. My left if I'm facing that way.
If that makes sense.
Yeah all right, so I'm going to go as hard as I can.
Yeah, get that big thing out of there. Out of the puss.
All right, here we go.
Thank God for that.
Sweet.
Nearly out.
That was the last little wet patch.
Made it through.
I'll be glad when I get off this salt pan.
Let's go.
All good back there, mate?
Yeah, mate.
Let's get out of this salt pan.
Not that I'm having any trouble.
I could drive around this stuff all day long.
Weight's a big factor. The unimog's too heavy.
Too heavy.
That's all for saltpan country.
I reckon you should spear in front and knock some of that bush back the other way.
Yeah, copy that, mate.
Coming up your side now.
♪ In the bush again, and I just can't wait to get back in that bush again. ♪
♪ Run over some trees with my friends. ♪
♪ I just can't wait to get back in the bush again. ♪
Now traveling out is just as hard, if not harder than traveling in.
You really have to watch everything you've pushed over.
The tree trunks are now pointing towards you, and it can easily do damage to your running gear.
You there, mate?
Yeah, I got ya.
I'm just going to pull up in this little cleared part here.
I just had to move a log out of the way, and then I'm going to pull up here and put a little
bit of air back in my tyres.
Yeah copy that.
We take it a bit easier through the creek crossings
[music]
That's him.
That's the one I want.
See this tree here, I'll call this a soap tree.
So if you're down by the creek and you look like you want a bit of a scrub up or a bit
of a tub up like I do, then I'll just go for a couple of these leaves.
Well not a couple, we'll get a big handful of them, and I'll show you how effective they
are when you get them down to the water.
Because this is the most organic soap you could ever use.
I'll just grab a heap of that.
So you grab some of the leaves like this.
You crunch them all up.
And you get the water in there.
And you can see it's starting to soap up.
And then it's just a matter of using it like you would use soap.
It's the most organic soap you could use in an extremely pristine environment.
So if you ever wanted to sort of, you know, have a tub but not damage the environment...
Like to the point of no damage whatsoever, look at that.
You can see the soap.
You'll actually get just as good a clean from this as you will a normal soap.
The old soap tree when you're in the bush, and you want to be really environmentally friendly,
does the job.
I'm gonna go for a swim now.
Hey Simon.
Oi!
Come check this out.
Want you to see how fast you can pump these tyres up.
We use the air system off the truck.
I've never seen anything pump stuff up so fast, mate.
These are big tyres.
Huge tyres.
Huge tyres!
Big bloody huge.
You nearly got dust in my coffee then.
Coffee dust.
Going up.
Going up!
That's the go.
That's quick, isn't it?
Straight up.
That's a big tyre to pump up.
[music]
We reach the homestead after two hard days' travel back in,
and this place has a pretty amazing wrecking yard.
You can tell how long this station has operated by the gear parked up here.
That's it for us.
We are now back to the main road heading towards our next mission, so we'll see you next time
somewhere off the beaten track.
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hold up, hold up.
Look we are a professional operation, but here is the stuff you usually don't get to see.
Take my lunch...
One...
Two...
Oh that would've hurt!
Oh, felt that!
Go again!
Wait, I'll get a bit more slack.
You gotta start standing next to it.
No, you gotta run in.
No you don't.
When my mama...
You suck!
Mind you, he kept walking backwards.
--some crocodiles.
And hopefully some barramundi.
[Camera guys] Woohoo! Yes! Wait, I wasn't recording.
Your red light was on.
Wujal Wujal.
I think I've pronounced that wrong.
No, Wujal Wujal's in Queensland.
Good job.
Well that's us.
The flies.
Don't swallow the flies. The sand.
That's us anyway, guys.
So we'll--
just go eating the flies.
So we'll see you guys next time...
Somewhere off the sand dune that beat us.
Those flies are flick around here.
They're flick.
The flies are flick, the flies are thick.
Can we do that again?
Most iconic river...
No it's not.
...And we're gonna meet up with a mate of ours, Jesse, and he's gonna catch them ****ing crocodiles.
We're gonna stick our finger in its **** and see if it's a boy or girl.
It's a new kind of tread I'm developing.
It's in secret process at the moment.
It's called organic tread tires.
I'll pack it down when it dries.
You've got organic tyres, mate.
Best traction you've ever got. You think about it.
Mother earth on mother earth.
But Harry, the mounting, the fixing, all the fixing stuff to put the plaque down.
You should have come to us not, the ***damn hardware.
Yeah, Simon knew these nails that you jam in, drive in hard.
You'll still be there 30 years.
Anyway...
Oh yeah you should have put Jase and Simon.
What's this all4adventure.com ****?
Really?
We love you, but...
And it didn't even put the date.
Did they put the date?
Yeah, 2017.
Is that it?
Yeah that's it.
Well they could have punched it in like June or something.
Anyway, thanks Harry.
He was on the money though with where it was.
Oh he was 20 meters off.
20 meters, 20 metres from the position, mate. Well done.
We found it.
You get some credit.
Yeah.
So we'll see you guys next time...
Somewhere off the beaten track.
