If there's one place you don't want to have a breakage, it's in the middle of the wild and remote Kimberley. 😳

We're in the middle of a huge outback adventure… and things are heating up!
Part 1 👉    • STUCK IN CROC INFESTED KIMBERLEY RIVE...  
Part 2 👉    • HOPELESSLY STRANDED in the Kimberley ...  

Right now, we're 12 days into one of the greatest and most challenging low range adventures in Australia as we attempt to re-open the mighty Oombulgurri track for the season.

🚨 ATTENTION MELBOURNE 4WDERS! 🚨Shauno & Graham will be back in town at the National 4x4 Show from August 23rd - 25th! Grab your tickets in advance & save 15% by using the code ‘4WD247’ at the checkout! 👉 4x4show.com.au/Melbourne/buy-tickets

After a late wet, the track is pushing us and the rigs to the absolute limit. With huge river crossings, bottomless bog holes, bush mechanic fixes & dense bush making the track almost impossible to follow.

Now, in some of the most remote country you'll find anywhere & hundreds of KMs from help - we've hit a breakage that we could never have prepared for.

Welcome back to the FINALE of our Oombulgurri adventure. 🔥

  • I'd love to see a detailed video of what it takes to pack and prep for a trip like this. Food , water , fuel , spares. Cheers from NZ
  • Watching this channel grow over the years makes me so happy for you guys. I'm glad you all have found a career doing what you love while making money. sure beats the normal 9-5, great job boys
  • @reimalaluan5286
    You know it's serious when even the crocs are on 4 wheel mode.
  • I truly appreciate watching you blokes do this trip. It shows how beautiful but difficult our country is. I would love to do this trip one day. Cheers lads.
  • True top end wheeling at its finest. Well done lads it never disappoints when you guys head up to the top of the Kimberley 🍻🍻
  • @Zapple12
    Been waiting for this one..... Saving it for beers on Friday night! Cheers from North Wales UK. :)
  • @scott8581
    perfect way to end a Thursday at work
  • @lukereef
    Epic trip fellas, what a place, what a team!
  • @jo_clarke1960
    These track pushing vids are some of the best stuff
  • Great fix on the radiator fellas 👏 I did a similar job on the old Troopy at Drysdale River a few yrs back. Metal magic putty and cracked pepper and an egg for the win!
  • @ryant9418
    when they say how low in supplies and worried they are but continue to bring out beers hahaha so good
  • I loved that all the locals helped yous get to the end of the track. Great job guys
  • @patelliott8724
    I've had to do a similar repair to my old Hilux radiator. That repair was still holding after two years and was still there when I traded it in on my Colorado. I still carry similar putty everywhere! One thing that sold me on choosing the Colorado was the fact that the alternator is mounted up high on the motor, well away from water or mud!
  • @stco2426
    Many thanks for showing the trip and these three episodes. I think the first show of yours I watched was this trip last year and you've upped the game and the team, camera work, sound and overall content has got better and better. Across the US in those recent trips and across all of Australia I've really enjoyed watching all these shows. These trips are great but I also appreciate the hard tracks with Jessie and Liam and also the van towing with Steph and Harvey. Well done all and all the best!

    Drove this track quite a few times back in the 90s when I worked for Striker Resources. I imagine you would have gone past where we used to pump water from Beta Creek and the airstrip at the base of the escarpment once you crossed over the Berkeley River. The track was more used back then with Oombulgurri open. You can still see the old Ashmore and Seppelt workings on Google Earth. We used to drive up as far up the King George River we could get then walk into the falls quite often as well. This vid brings back a lot of memories.
  • Always keep some kneedit on board. That stuff is amazing.
  • @dannybevan8093
    4 hours after uploading this excellent final part you've had near 53.000 views, and only 3200 viewers thought to like the vid before they left. Bloody sad in my opinion. Myself, I've found this one of your most entertaining trips. Not as great a vista as some of your other trips, but the slog, the fixes, and the feeds you all had were brilliant.... In the words of the crusty old snowy-bearded dragon with you, SENSATIONAL!😍👍🍺
