25.01.2022 Where are we? Clues: Best food in town and best Thai for 100s of ks. Quirky setting is an understatement. Thank you, Roger, Top and Team! NSW. Open Sat and Sun for lunch only. #westernnsw #thai #outbacknsw #lightningridge #touring #australia #overland #gizabreak
24.01.2022 Did Nolan’s under own steam with Snatch chain ready for safety... went without a hitch. Nowhere near as difficult as people were saying. Key issue I reckon is people going in too fast and having massive tires and little weight = floaters! #capeyork #nolans #nolanscreek #rivercrossing #snorkelaction #snorkel #safarisnorkel #landcruiser #76series #sandytaupe #lc76 #touring #offroad #homeiswhereyouparkit #arbshepparton #70series #difflock #4x4 #overland #australia #action #adventure
23.01.2022 Completed Old Tele Track today (all except Nolan’s which nobody was attempting). What a blast!!! #ott #oldtelegraphtrack #capeyork #triptothetip #offroad #wheelsup #sandytaupe #overland #4x4 #australia #homeiswhereyouparkit #tentit
20.01.2022 Gunshot first entry from left... thanks boys at @arbshepparton for getting the car ready in time for the big trip! #gunshot #gunshotcreek #capeyork #triptothetip #4x4 #overland #frontrunneroutfitters #howlingmoontent #ome #oldmanemu #homeiswhereyouparkit #homeiswhereyourtentis
18.01.2022 Logan’s was another one of those crossings that’s well worth checkin out. We almost went through from the first entry on the left, but thought better of it. Crocs had been spotted here a day before, so we weren’t so keen to walk it. Went better than expected! #loganscreek #oldtelegraphtrack #oldteletrack #capeyork #offroad #4x4 #creekcrossing #rivercrossing #crocs #landcruiser #lc76 #sandytaupe #70series
17.01.2022 Five Rocks Beach, straight line up! So much fun. What a gem of a camp! #fiverocks #byfield #rockhampton #homeiswhereyouparkit #70series #lc76 #sandytaupe #sanddriving #4x4 #offroad #beach #beachdriving #landcruiser #djimavivair #dji #drone
16.01.2022 Gunshot Creek - scrub bars and spare wheel kissed the banks, but only slightly. Glad we put the tracks down. Also, don’t go racing straight into the creek - deep hole! . . #gunshot #gunshotcreek #oldtelegraphtrack #oldteletrack #capeyork #triptothetip #homeiswhereyouparkit #overland #4x4 #steep #70series #lc76 #sandytaupe #gizabreak

11.01.2022 As our six weeks of exploring the East Coast all the way up to the tip of Australia come to an end, we are deeply grateful. We understand a little more of the privilege we enjoy, mostly due not to our own actions or merit, but luck. That we were born to caring parents in a developed country that offered education, health services and social security. That we could migrate to this great country. That we have work and opportunity. That we are able to travel across this ancient ...country shaped and cared for by the worlds longest and continuing culture. That we can return to a safe home. We do not take this for granted. #grateful #australia #moralluck #opportunity #sunset #labyrinth #lightningridge #overland #touring #landcruiser #70series #landcruiser76 #lc76 #firstpeople #aboriginalaustralia #traditionalowners #capeyork #triptothetip @ Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia See more
08.01.2022 Took one look at this bog hole on Roma Flats Tk (Cape York) and decided to not go there... #romaflatstrack #capeyork #triptothetip #cruiser #landcruiser #eek #76series #70series #boghole #mud #4x4 #overland #touring #offroad
07.01.2022 Luck or overcoming irrational fear, learning to be more trusting? Your mind screams: don’t do this. Nothing to winch off. Not safe to walk (crocs!) - but you’re the lead so you do both anyway and get through just fine. Nothing feels like it.
06.01.2022 Golden hour always a bit special. Nothing better than being set up before 5 to enjoy the spectacle! #lc76 #sandytaupe #beach #beachcamping #rooftoptent #offgrid #landcruiser #sundown #goldenhour #fraserisland #kgari #relax #exhale #unwind
06.01.2022 Cypress Bridge doesn’t fill you with confidence... but it had to be done! Only time I REALLy wanted a spotter (Thanks Glenn and @lisas_love_of_life_ )! #cypressbridge #capeyork #oldtelegraphtrack #oldteletrack #ott #landcruiser #lc76 #sandytaupe #70series #triptothetip #tipofaustralia #gizabreak #australia #4x4 #overland #offroad #touring #homeiswhereyouparkit
05.01.2022 Trip to the tip almost complete. Not doing Nolan’s did my head in, so we’re heading out again tomorrow to do it. So, that means we’ll have done Canal creek to Cypress Bridge 3 times this trip! #70series #capeyork #triptothetip #touring #australia #queensland #northernmostpoint #madeit
05.01.2022 Looks a bit different now! #homeiswhereyouparkit #lionsdenhotel #lc76 #sandytaupe #triptothetip #cooktown #queensland #australia #4x4 #overland #touring #stedi #toyota #mickeythompson #70series #howlingmoontent
04.01.2022 Who’s been here? Refreshing cold one on our way to Elim Beach north of Cooktown. #lionsden #homeiswhereyouparkit #capeyork #cooktown
03.01.2022 Five beaches drive magic. And as always: No filters. #homeiswhereyouparkit #70series #triptothetip #76 #lc76 #sandytaupe #capeyork #australia #straya #overland #4x4 #beach #rainforest #offroad #beachdrive #gizabreak #freedommachine

02.01.2022 Cockatoo Creek = dodging deep potholes.

01.01.2022 Not the best line picked plus the flex of a brick = wheels up! #capeyork #oldtelegraphtrack #oldteletrack #sandytaupe #lc76 #landcruiser #homeiswhereyouparkit #70series #4x4 #offroad #overland #overlanding #touring #australia #triptothetip
