In the second instalment of our thrilling Brisbane to Sydney off-road adventure, we’re taking you deeper into the heart of Australia’s raw beauty. Pat and the crew are back, venturing through the stunning landscapes of the New England high country, navigating along breathtaking river systems and waterfalls, and descending into the Clarence River Valley before hitting the coastal sights. This episode is a testament to the idea that life is indeed better on a dirt road, showcasing three distinct and beautiful changes in scenery that encapsulate the best of what Australia has to offer.
Our journey kicks off just north of Tenterfield in the Boonoo Boonoo National Park, weaving through State Forests to a beloved spot in New South Wales, the Gorge, before making our way east towards the coast—the very place that ignited Pat’s passion for four-wheel driving. Joining him once again are his trusted companions: photojournalist Josh Leonard and marketing guru Odell Harris from Outback Armor, with Odell taking the helm of the Ford Everest, a seasoned veteran of cross-continental treks, now equipped with the latest gear for another round of adventures.
This episode is more than just a scenic journey; it’s a continuation of our commitment to exploring Australia’s less-trodden paths. The team’s Ford Everest is ready to tackle any challenge, fitted with a fresh set of Ryco filters, a new Rhino-Rack roof rack platform, a Bushwakka awning, and WeatherTech gear from Upfitter for enhanced accessibility and convenience. Not to mention, it’s outfitted with Outback Armor suspension and Cooper A/T3 tyres, ensuring that the crew are well-prepared for the unpredictable terrain ahead.
Last episode’s unexpected detour due to a massive wildfire highlighted the unpredictable nature of adventure. As we hit the road again, the journey to Boonoo Boonoo Falls promises not just breathtaking views but also a chance to spot the elusive platypus in its natural habitat at the Platypus Hole picnic area along the Boonoo Boonoo River.
Episode 2 of our Brisbane to Sydney dirt road adventure is a celebration of the spirit of exploration, camaraderie, and the unbreakable bond between man and nature. It’s about taking the road less travelled and finding joy in the journey itself, proving once again that the most memorable adventures are found far from the paved roads, in the heart of Australia’s vast and varied landscapes.
Don’t miss this extraordinary episode as we continue to chart a course through some of Australia’s most gorgeous and unspoiled country. Tune in and join us on a journey that promises not just stunning visuals but a deeper appreciation for the wild, untamed beauty of the land Down Under. As usual, it’s kicking off on Channel 10 this Sunday at 2pm AEDT.
