Jase and Simon are off once again to seek out new adventures somewhere off the beaten track. This week they are starting off their exploration through Cape York by visiting the Beck Museum in Mareeba, Queensland to find out more about the World War II history that was dug up by the late Sid Beck. The Beck Museum is filled with military relics through the ages, and the boys can't help but marvel at the collection including the P-39 Airacobra pulled from the Jardine swamps. The old M3 Stuart and Saracen tanks are worth taking a spin around the property in a 'Jase vs Simon' race for bragging rights. They finally get this show on the road and head north, but it isn't long before someone gets hungry. Jase starts this trip with a hearty beef stew simmered in the camp oven. Back on the road the next morning, trouble strikes. The warning lights on Jase's dash are lit up like Christmas, but the boys press on knowing they've got a few days offshore for it to fix itself. So they cross the Jardine, but soon they have another unexpected stop which puts the boys on their best behaviour. As seen in the past series, Jase has an interest in the military history that comes with his trips to the top of Australia. So he visits Jackey Jackey Airfield or Higgins Field, which is still in use as Bamaga Airport today, where the land is dotted with historical wrecks from the 2nd World War. Then it is time to get the big boat into the water, and they're headed to the islands. But a beach launch proves to be softer than planned, so Simon helps with the first recovery of the season. Soon they're off and before long they meet up with Mario, the mayor of Hammond Island. Mario gives Jase and Simon a tour of the island including the old military bunks and communication stations leftover from WWII. And the guys can't be out in these beautiful waters without going out and seeing what they can get on the line!
Jase and Simon are on Hammond Island, and Mario gives them a tour of the historic St. Joseph's Church which was hand-built by the locals with iron works leftover from the Army barracks, blue granite from quaried from the island, and stained glass windows of beer bottles. They head out on the big boat and head across the Torres Straits to Booby Island. After a tricky landing, they get a look at the old lighthouse settlement which was demanned 20 years ago. They take some time to imagine what life would have been like if they had grown up at the lighthouse. Rumors of a subterranian post office inspire the guys to do a bit of rock climbing around the coast. Old-time mariners would drop off and pick up mail from this cave. You know the old saying about time and tide, and that means getting back to the boat brings a bit of a challenge. But once they get moving, there's some shipwrecks to check out. They can't resist a dive around a century-old shell of a 1903 shipwreck. In a spot like this, you want to have a seafood lunch. They do a bit of spearfishing and come up with a cod and some painted crayfish... perfect for a battered cray cook-up. On their way back to the beach, they get a look at Hammond Rock. The current rushes around the peak which makes it look like a ship sailing through the water. Back at the island, the boys are challenged to a fishing competition. It's time to prove their skills against the locals who aren't going to go easy on these guys.
We start this episode with a review of the All 4 Adventure Rulebook. The boys are ready to head out from Hammond Island with the goal of reaching Saibai Island, Australia's northern-most territory. They have been granted permission to make a stop at the now-uninhabited island of Naghir, where they find the old settlement. They also get a chance to fish the waters surrounding and manage to pull up some lunch and more! Jase cooks up a meal fit for these castaways. After stopping at Moa Island to fuel up, the boys take heed to the warning of the locals and abandon their run to the Saibai due to the strong-winds warning. That stretch of ocean will have to be another adventure.
After 10 days out on the Torres Strait, Jase and Simon return to their vehicles. And there's that pesky dash light problem to deal with straight away. But first... they have to get the boat out of the water. Jase cooks up some breakfast for Simon and some new friends. And when a local wants to show you the best secret fishing spots, you don't pass up an opportunity like that! However, there's more trouble with the boat ramp, but thankfully the trusty Bamaga Police are there to lend a hand. Later the guys try to make the run out to Croc Island. They get as far as they can in the trucks before having to turn to the ATVs. Along the way, they stop at Somerset, a place rich with maritime history. Then they build their signature ATV barge with the tinnies and get their little bikes across the water. It's some tough going, but they finally get to see the creatures the area is known for. There will be no night fishing in these parts!
This episode, Jase and Simon start out from Sesia at the top of Cape York and head down the Ussher Point track. They're on the hunt for a Bell P-39 Airacobra plane wreck rusting away on the beach. But the track turns to sand, which means tyre pressure needs an adjustment if they have any hope of getting to an oceanside campsite. They head out on the buggies to navigate the headlands to try find the wreck site. Jase and Simon take a moment to remember the story of these pilots who ended up on this beach. However, the problem with coming down a sandy hill is always getting back up. And as predicted, it becomes a challenge for both trucks dragging trailers. The fellas think the next challenge is finding an overgrown track, but an even bigger challenge comes in the way of a faulty gearbox which means it's time to head back to civilization. Allan's Automatics in Cairns comes to the rescue with a loaner gearbox, and three days later, the boys are back to where they started. The track to the Escape River offers much resistance in the way of fallen trees, overgrown branches, and wasp nests at every turn. How much can they take? They set up camp at Sad Point and make a few friends along the way. They hit the Escape River in the tinny in order to make it out to Turtle Head Island before nightfall. Once there, they lend a hand to Rusty and Bronwyn who put the boys to work harvesting mabe pearls. With the meat leftover from production, Jase whips up Bronwyn's Pearl Oysters. They can't leave without a bit of night fishing off the jetty, and the monsters are biting!
Jase and Simon head down the track to Captain Billy's Landing with the goal to head up the beach to find a secret waterfall. They are greeted by windy conditions and a sandy track down to the beach. Once they get to the first headland, they go from sand driving to rock crawling and can't afford to get stuck with the returning tide. They make the call to turn back with the trucks until they have a dropping tide to give them a bit of extra time to pass the headlands. So they take the buggies down the beach to explore and see what has washed ashore. Then it's back to camp for a cook up finished off with some caramel dumplings. The next morning they set off up the beach again with an outgoing tide to give them some more time to navigate the boulders dotting the headland. They do some landscaping with winches to clear the path for the trailer and to get up and down the rock ledges. Back to the sand above the high-tide mark, Simon manages to get himself stuck. They also make the call to scout ahead in the buggies and determine whether they'll make it to the river in the trucks. The big trailer gets left on a dune to save some effort dragging it to the river. The boys get out the inflatable boat to head upstream not knowing how soon they'll have to portage through the shallow spots. Evidence of crocs puts everybody on edge, especially as they set up their rustic camp for the night. The next morning it's an early start with high tide filling the river basin. Eventually, they ditch the little boat and finish the trek on foot. The water is clear, but Simon spots a big black croc which inspires a change of direction. So they head for the hills to steer clear of the wildlife, but it's slow going and hard terrain when you're wearing thongs. Back in the low country, they follow the river through some beautiful pools and eventually they find the promised hidden waterfall. A perfect spot to shed a layer of dirt!
Jase and Simon head back down the river in the rubber boat on their way back from the secret waterfall in last episode. It's a good time to drop a line. Jase catches his big toe, and Simon catches a big barra! Back at the trucks, they cross to hook up the big trailer again, and then have to make their way back through the rocky headlands. As the tide starts to turn, some trouble comes up. Just as they are about to head for the Frenchman's Track, a terrible noise brings them to a grinding halt... literally. The bushes in the trailing arms have collapsed, and this does not bode well for any progress they'd planned for the day. Instead they head for Weipa to wait for a plane to bring some spare parts. To pass the time, Jase cooks up a special choc chip cheesecake for Simon's birthday. After using the airport parking lot as a makeshift workshop, they are back in action heading east again. 90mm of rain fell overnight making the track a bit greasy. It also means the river is higher, so they make the call to wait until morning to cross the Wenlock. Instead of falling overnight, the water has risen. Simon walks the crossing, but once Jase starts heading down with the truck, it becomes clear that it's not going to happen this time. Unfortunately, getting back up the bank proves to be a serious challenge even after taking off the ATV to lighten the load. They determine the best way out is up the parallel track, but doing a 3-point turn in a rapidly moving river isn't without its difficulties. But soon they are pointed in the right direction and are able to winch off Simon's truck. Back up on drier ground, Simon manages to roll his trailer. This track is really giving these guys a run for their money, but thankfully the trailer survives.
Jase and Simon are head up into Iron Range with a stop at the Batavia Goldfields, a mining camp started in 1892 and still producing almost 100 years later. They also stop to marvel at a military test blast site which still leaves a scar in the landscape today. They finally reach the overgrown Iron Range airbase and relive a bit of the history of that area. And then it's time for Jase's cornflake barramundi cook-up. From there, the guys set off again, but the rain slows them down. They are scheduled to be out at Haggerstone Island and don't have time to wait for the tide. So they back the boat in and hope for the best. Finally with the help of some local blokes, they are floating and head out to sea. They meet up with Roy and Anna Turner at Haggerstone at their remarkable home and find out how Roy got the nickname "Gouger". They also help the Turners stock their larder by going out to get a few flavorful fish... but as ususual, they're not the only ones after these reef fish. After a look at Forbes Island, they head back to the mainland and invent the longest, rockiest boat ramp in the process.
Jase and Simon change out some gear to get from Lockhart River to Laura before trekking out to Bathurst Bay, which gives them a little more trouble than they were bargaining for.
Jase and Simon head back through Bathurst Bay, and it isn't going any easier in this direction. Things go from bad to worse when Simon blows a diff. There is a lot of mud to cross, and Jase is left to haul both trailers and give Simon a tow which takes the bulk of the day. The next morning, the guys get right back into it. Bog hole after bog hole, and then an alternator goes down... which inevitably causes the battery to run low, and it's only a matter of time before the computer goes down in the truck. Ahh, technology. As they near civilization, Simon heads off to meet the helicopter while Jase limps the 2-wheel drive back to Laura before getting picked up in the chopper. Then it's off to check out a trio of waterfalls that have rarely been filmed. The scenery is stunning, but with the sun going down and the wind picking up, it's time to get back to the bird. Eventually, they make it back to Cairns sounding a little worse for wear after this epic adventure. It's all worth it in the end after experiencing these amazing secrets of the Cape!
This series starts with a bang, as the boys head into a restricted area and put the 200 and the new 79 to the test with a little drag race on the runway. They take the opportunity to tour the ruins of the secret town of Maralinga, they hit some rain along their way west, stop at Cook for a coffee on the Indian Pacific, cross the Nullarbor and finish off at the scenic Wilson Bluff cliffs on the Western Australia border.
Jase and Simon start out having a good look at the Southern Ocean at the Eucla jetty, which was an essential part of the nation’s telegraph history, before heading further west, the boys head north to reach a cave they’ve heard about and do a little spelunking. The next morning, they take the buggies out to check out the track (and to have a little fun). They determine the trucks will be able to get through to a point, and the beach is always another option. They then hit the beach to try and reach their goal of Eyre telegraph station.
This week Jase and Simon head out from the Eyre Telegraph Station, check out the spectacular view of the 200-kilometer wide Baxter Cliffs and set up camp at a place called Wylie Scarp. They find a place to park the trucks and then get the buggies off to explore the Bilbunya Dunes, and the next day they move along the beach to the Israelite Bay ruins.
The boys continue their journey and stop for a look at some of the old features on the homestead in this neck of the woods. The weather motivates them to get to the Fraser Ranger station to set up for the night with a stew and a fire. Then it’s time to head west to check out the old goldfields, but they have some obstacles to overcome to get there. The next day they make their way to the scenic spot of Cave Hill and attempt some gold mining.
After a few weeks bashing across WA in the trucks, it’s time for Jase and Simon to meet up with the big boat and hit the water for an epic trip out to the Abrolhos Islands. There’s fishing and diving, but it’s not all fun and games, as the guys also get put to work collecting those yummy Abrolhos crayfish aboard a fishing boat. Later Jase does one of his famous cook-ups with that fresh cray meat and a bunch of surprise ingredients.
The boys head back to shore after their epic trip to the Abrolhos Islands. Their next goal is to get the boat from Geraldton up to Steep Point. Easier said that done when traveling down some of these tracks. It feels like they spend more time bogged than moving on this day, but it’s worth it for a quick stop at the powerful blowholes before finally getting that big boat back in the water to wet a line.
Jase and Simon take the gear across the barge from Steep Point to Dirk Hartog Island to do a bit of exploring. Their first stop is Dirk Hartog Lodge for a brief history lesson. A little cold weather isn’t going to stop these guys from trying their luck with the fishing rods. Back in the 4WDs, they head through the dunes to find another blowhole. But Jase loses his sunnies over the side and does some creative abseiling to retrieve them. (We don’t recommend trying that at home!) It’s a bit of hard going through the sandy tracks, but there’s a simple chocolate brownie for dessert once they set up camp. Back on the track in the morning, there’s more dunes and some sand-surfing. And there’s a bit of bush mechanics to fix up a tow bar problem of Simon’s before they call it a wrap on Dirk Hartog.
The boys are back on the mainland and head up the coast from Steep Point to the stunning Coral Bay where they hit the water. Jase battles a serious fish. How long will it take him to land this beauty? Back in the trucks, they have a little fun getting up the track. They even stumble across a bit of plane wreckage. After the boys returned with the footage, we contacted some experts in the field who believe it to be a previously unlocated wreck of a Catalina flying boat. That story is still continuing! At camp for the night, Jase cooks up a Roast Veggie Salad with a zesty avocado dressing to go with their fish. Simon declares it ‘really tasty’. The next day push north and make a stop at the Point Cloates lighthouse ruins and whaling station. It’s amazing to think what it must have been like in its hayday. They finish up with a crossing of the Yardie Creek.
ase and Simon take the big boat over to Ningaloo and have a swim with some of the amazing creatures who pass through these waters. Later they’re back in the trucks and help a couple of old mates getting out of a muddy boatramp, but not without a little trouble of their own. They have some luck with the prawn nets, and Jase also whips up a tasty banana cake for dessert.
We have arrived at the season finale of The Wild West, and this week the boys are travelling from Exmouth up toward the Pilbura. But a bit of a mechanical problem means it’s time to pull over to take a look. The wet weather means the shoulder is softer than anticipated as well, as the camera truck get into their own problem. The weather continues to be an issue, so they waste no time getting the big boat into the water at Karratha to head out to the remote Montebello Islands out in the Indian Ocean. They require extra fuel and fresh water on board which means there wasn’t a lot of extra room for fresh food luxuries. It’s time to live off the land, and Jase goes on a hunt for some tucker. The next day the boys go exploring in a mangrove creek and find some new underwater friends along the way.
The boys are back with their 9th season of All 4 Adventure. After wetting their whistles at the historic Noccundra Hotel, they set off for the Queensland / New South Wales border to follow in the footsteps of some of the early surveyors. Next the boys head down the Strzelecki Track to find the spot where explorer Burke died and later head to the ‘Dig Tree’ which played a part in the story of the demise of Burke & Wills. Finally west of Birdville, the boys have a bit of fun taking a crack at the famous Big Red dune at the start of the Simpson Desert before meeting up with Ranger Don Rowlands, a Wangkangurru elder who tells them a bit about his people’s connection to the area.
Jase and Simon roll into Birdville and fill up every spare container with fuel before starting their 500k trip across the Simpson Desert. After a chat with a cold-blooded local, they head for the hills and give those dunes a go. They’re in for a couple days filled with ups and downs with more than 1100 dunes to cross. Day two is… more dunes. More ruts. More shoveling. But they finally make it to Poeppel Corner, where Queensland, Northern Territory and South Australia meet. We also hear from Bill Kitson of the Queensland Museum who explains how that original marker was a bit out from where they were meant to be. Day 3 and there’s another 190kms to go. So it is another day and another night in the desert. But breakfast means it’s time for a cook-up, and Jase concocts a Bush Brekky Cake. Day 4. Sand. And more sand. But is it a mirage or Dalhousie Springs on the horizon? Next stop: the geographical centre of Australia!
Jase and Simon are heading north following the Old Ghan line to Alice Springs. Along the way they come across an old water tank which was an essential part of the train history. After a resupply in Alice, the boys move on to Katherine to trade out a new piece of gear that they’ve been working on back at the shop. They’re going to need it to complete their mission for this leg of the trip, which is to replace a stolen plaque at the site of the terminal border post location on the Gulf of Carpentaria. Getting there is going to be the the hard part with water and sandy patches to cross. Moggy proves that size matters when it comes to avoiding getting bogged in the sandy areas, but the lighter D-Max has the upper hand when it comes to the salt pans and mud flats. There’s also delicious Lemon Lime Pie for dessert, bush bubblegum, slithery creatures and more!
Jase and Simon head to Roper Bar to meet up with their mate Jesse, a zoologist who specialises in salt-water crocodiles. They set up a base at Big River where station owner Daniel has called in for help relocating a couple of nuisance crocs which present a danger to the animals and children at the station.
Jase and Simon are back with their mate Jesse in search of the huge croc that’s been reported in the area. But the terrain is a challenge for both their 4WDs and even the lighter ATVs, and there are more boggings than ever before. Along the way, they happen upon a new piece of gear abandoned on the beach. After a little sprucing up, they find a spot to launch and give it a test drive despite the ever-present threat of crocodiles in the area. What could go wrong? Jase makes up a crusty berry damper to enjoy around the fire.
On this episode on All 4 Adventure, Jase and Simon launch the Sea Jay Big Boat and head out to Port Roper in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Locals say that there plenty of remote islands and creeks to check out, so the boys unpack their fishing gear and try their luck with some heli-fishing.
On the next episode of All 4 Adventure, the boys head up into Arnhem Land to experience some of the most untouched regions of the country. Watch as they travel by land and sea to reach Groote Eylandt, where they are greeted as guests of the traditional owners. It’s a show not to be missed.
Jase and Simon wake up to another beautiful day on Groote Eylandt, and they head off with Constantine and the boys to do a bit of rockfishing. With spears and hooks, they have to compete with the sharks to bring in the queenfish. Constantine takes them down to another special spot which shows the history of the Makassans and Groote Eylandt, but getting there involves some driving down the beach with some digging in the sand and winching to add to the fun. There’s also sea turtles and snakes, brekkie damper and fish on the fire!
Groote Eylandt traditional owner Constantine takes Jase and Simon to a remote lake with a special connection to his grandmother. There the boys put in the tinnie despite the strong winds and rough waters, and they’re rewarded for their efforts. Soon it’s time to head back to the barge with another trip through the rock country. Will it be every bit as treacherous in daylight?
It wouldn’t be a trip through the Territory without a stop to see old mate Rhett at Lorella Springs. With over a million acres, there’s always something new to see, and Rhett has a mission that he believes only Jase and Simon would dare tackle. There’s more exploring and bog-filled adventure ahead as the boys spend on last episode Tackling the Territory.
This year celebrates a decade of dirt for All 4 Adventure, and the boys are headed back to where it all began… The Kimberley. Jase and Simon hit the track at Ivanhoe Crossing, but they notice they’re being tailed by another vehicle. As they pull up to the Hillgrove Lockup boab tree, they realise it’s their old mate Jesse who is coming along for the adventure. They head down the unmaintained Karunji Track at their own risk, and it’s not long before they come across some spongey areas, and Jase gets bogged with the big boat trailer. They have to make up their own route when the track ends in a washed out area. And the second half of the track just keeps getting worse with creek crossing after creek crossing. They finally get to wash off the dust when they reach the Pentacost River on the Gibb River Road.
In this week's episode Jase, Simon and Jesse make their way from Honeymoon Bay down to Red Bluff in the stunning Kimberley region to camp out on the rock bar in their swags. After a spot of early morning fishing Jase finds himself catching more than he bargained for! Ouch.
The boys start out at Honeymoon Bay where the wind is causing rough seas, but they’ve got a mission to find a bit of history. First up is an old RADAR station on an Sir Graham Moore island in Napier Bay. And later Jase has an old plane wreck that he wants to show Jesse which brings them further into Vansittart Bay. After a beach launch, they set off to find this old needle in a haystack. But poor crook Jesse’s used to calm creek waters and not the open sea. But there’s always time to flick a line along the way, and they manage to find some mangrove jack, mackerel, bluebone and trevally on the bite this journey. And Simon does his version of a cook-up. But Jase shows him how it’s really done later with a tasty dessert for the local kids who show them how they make spears. The kids make it look easy!
The crew have left Darwin and are entering Arnhem Land at Cahill’s Crossing. They need to make a remote barge landing on the high tide to reach Elcho Island, and the tide waits for no man. So they are on the clock. But one problem after another threatens their plans. A broken u-bolt leaves the boat trailer in pieces, and there’s no choice but to come up with a bush-mechanics fix. Even after they’re moving again, the boggy, overgrown road keeps setting back the clock when time is of the essence. Will they make their barge or have to come up with another plan?
In this episode of All 4 Adventure the boys head out to the Wessel Islands and search for a World War 2 camp lost for the last 70 years, before visiting some stunning art sites with the traditional owners. In what is one of the biggest moments of the series, disaster strikes when Jase and the boys are fishing in this extremely remote location.
The boys leave the ranger group at main camp and head out to the tip of the island to document a remote art site for the university. But that’s not all they find. They also come across the remains of a steel shipwreck, and Jesse keeps his eyes out for crocs. They can’t resist a chance to fish, and mackerel are on the bite.
In this episode of All 4 Adventure, the boys head to Wadeye to meet up with the traditional owners and their mate Ian. The plan is to find a plane wreck, that is in the middle of an unaccessible flood plain. Their first attempt is to take tinnie up the Moyle River to see how close they can get. When they realise that this will be impossible, they must take on some seriously boggy terrain in the vehicles and ATVs.
The boys have been told of a secret waterfall hidden in the Madjellindi Valley. Only a handful of people have been there and can only access this area with permissions from the traditional owners. The scenery is spectacular and the journey is well worth it, with bush fires, pig chases, rocky hills and endless plains along the way.
Following the story of pioneering pilots Keith Anderson and Bob Hitchcock, the boys are on their way to meet Gordon, the Grandson of the tracker who helped to find the pilots bodies in the Tanemi desert. The boys need to meet him at Wave Hill and on the way tackle a tough track through Victoria River Downs.
From Wave Hill the boys set out into the Tanami desert to find the resting place of the Kookaburra plane and a plaque laid by Dick Smith at Anderson’s corner, which is lost in time. The terrain is gruelling, the weather is hot and the vehicles take a beating. All they have to work from are a few rough co-ordinates and a single image of Dick Smith and the plaque.
The boys set out from All 4 Adventure HQ on the Sunshine Coast with the mission to meet the barge at Karumba that will take their gear over to Mornington Island. There, they launch the Big Boat, and even rough seas won’t stop them from doing a little fishing when there’s trout, goldies and blue bone to be caught! Once supper is in the bucket, they make for shore to set up a quick island campsite to sleep for the night. The next morning, they meet up with Ranger Tommy who brings the boys to meet the local school kids who show off their aboriginal dances. The boys head out in the trucks to find a recommended fishing spot which should be ripe with queenies and jacks… if they can get there without getting too bogged. Later their fishing is off the hook as they’re catching two fish at a time!
On Mornington Island, Ranger Tommy takes the boys to Plane Wreck Beach to explore some World War II history with a few bogs along the way. They do a bit of crabbing for their lunch. And once the weather clears, the team make a run by big boat over to an island inhabited by a multitude of birds and wildlife.
There’s more to see and do on Mornington Island with fishing, history and offroading to entertain the boys. Jase and the team visit sites with dark histories, but obstacles await on the boggy mudflats and tree-covered beach paths.
The team take off for Sweers Island on their way back to the mainland. The island is full of rich history, ancient caves and amazing reef fishing. With so much to see onshore and offshore, what an epic way to end the Wellesley Island trip!
Wujul Wujul is known as the land of many waterfalls, but in All 4 Adventure language Simon reckons it means "land of broken diffs and driveshafts." The boys meet up with local elder CJ and an old friend of theirs, PJ, who has one of the steepest and longest driveways in Australia. There are also abandoned gold mines to be visited and jungle perch to be caught in the freshwater creeks.
The Starcke Track is renowned for hardcore four-wheel driving, but the effort is worth it for what awaits at the end. This part of the Cape has pristine white beaches with a section of beach that has a tragic history. Jase and the team honour the men who lost their lives to save a comrade at Ellerton Beach.
Whilst on the East coast of the Cape, the team meets up with old mate and traditional owner Sam to tackle a track through his country to the Nesbit River. Tackling the long track involves days of chain-sawing and hardcore river crossings, but there’s good fishing to be had at the end of the road.
Making their way out of the Nesbit Track, the boys head out to Morris Island with its lost history. Heading up to Lockhart River, they meet up with a local rugby team that All 4 Adventure sponsors. Earlier in the year, Lockhart River was devastated by a cyclone, and the tracks and coastlines are still littered with debris to overcome. Plus there is also plenty of WWII history to explore with beach plane wrecks and underground bunkers.
The team make the long haul to Pormpuraaw on the west coast of Cape York to meet up with old mate Jesse. A fishing competition is always a good idea, so it’s game on! And to take the adrenaline up another level, they meet up with Clinton, a crocodile farmer and bull catcher from Paradise Holdings, to wrangle some wild bulls.
The boys finish up this epic series exploring the Coastlines of the Cape with more amazing fishing, culture and crocodile action. The All 4 Adventure team continue to through the amazing river systems on the coastline on their quest for the elusive metre barramundi. They visit the local art centre in Pormpuraaw to see the amazing work being created by the community. And since the boys are still in the area, Clinton recruits the team to help out at the crocodile farm. It’s all hands on deck as they have to relocate a couple of monster crocs. And they also get a chance to feed these prehistoric animals lurking beneath the water. The crocs are happy for some raw chicken for morning tea, but Jase cooks up a a delicious Two Fruit Crumble Damper for the boys.
The year got off to a strange start, but lockdown gave Jase and Simon plenty of time to dream up new vehicles and new adventure destinations. So the moment they were allowed to leave home, they hit the road for 1770 and took the back tracks out to Bustard Head. Ruts and washouts, slippery tracks and tight turns only added to the fun of being back off the beaten track.
Jase and Simon continue their way up the Queensland coast and make their way to Stanage Bay where there are plenty of spectacular islands to explore with fishing to match! But first while they’re in the area, Jase wants to show Simon an abandoned copper mine near his uncle’s old property that he used to visit as a kid. They manage to find the old chimney, but bats have taken over the mine… so it’s a good time to cook up a Coconut Lime Cheesecake for dessert.
Jase and Simon head for the Carpentaria Shire and explore some of the history of the area. Simon has a tip on a place where they are pretty much guaranteed to catch barra, but instead they’re the ones getting caught. The boys become quite familiar with the history of the old Normanton gaol and some of the people who spent time there. The manage to break away and head to Delta Downs, a working cattle station of a million acres. After being welcomed to the station by Quinton, Warren & Dave, the boys head out to experience what this beautiful land has to offer including the incredible birdlife and stunning beach camps.
Jase and Simon are in Carpentaria Shire, and it’s Simon’s turn to offer a little service to the community by lending some elbow grease to the Les Wilson Barramundi Hatchery. Jase also cooks up another recipe submitted by members of the community. This time it’s tasty Cherabin & Barra Fritters. After a job well done, the boys head out with Dave who takes them onto his country in search of some bush tucker. After some hunting, fishing and… celery? …they have a cook-up on the coals with thanks to the elders. The next morning the boys are in for a treat, as they get to join in the muster at Delta Downs station. Jase in the buggy and Simon with his own horsepower join the others in a coordinated dance between choppers, quads and horses to bring the cattle in. It’s a huge team effort rewarded with damper and billy tea at the end of the day.
Jase and Simon finish up their community service with one last Cooking with Council winning recipe. Savoury Mince Spaghetti — with some extra heat for Simon. Once they get the all-clear from Mayor Bawden, the boys hightail it out of town. David wants to show the boys some of his secret fishing spots on Delta Downs, but there’s a bit of carnage on the way out while attempting to get the vehicles down to the beach. Jase makes it through with a little crunch before Simon turtles it and the recovery gear comes out. Once they finally get to a spot to launch the boat, they set up camp and have a little fish from the shore. Dave takes them out to Grandad Jimmy’s fishing camp, a special spot frozen in time.
Jase and Simon pull into Burketown to meet some traditional owners and to get Simon coffeed-up. First they meet up with Murrandoo Yanner, a famous local who has worked tirelessly to get hunting rights back for aboriginal people to hunt their own bush tucker. He has some tracks for the boys that haven’t been touched in a long time, which is just what they like to hear. So they hit the road with a group of rangers who are coming along on the ride. They get to put it in 4WD in no time. Will low and slow win the race… or will Simon’s method of ‘get on the gas’ work best? They get to Moonlight Creek crossing, and Simon declares that it’s time to set up camp.
Jase and Simon start at Hell’s Gate and then make a run for the NT border at the first opportunity to cross. They meet up with some rangers who join them for some offroad fun. There’s bulldust and billabongs, before they set up camp near Running Creek. Day 2 starts with Bacon & Egg Pastry Jaffles for brekkie. Then it’s back on the track, or what they can see of the track. It’s all part of the fun of driving, and as they head into the rocky gorge country, they face a tricky crossing where everyone has to work together. Bee stings and ‘Keith’ moments don’t put a damper on the day.
Jase and Simon are in fishing heaven whether they’re in the boat or on the shore, there are fish jumping on their hooks. Queenies, mangrove jacks and barramundi galore! Heading out in the 4.2 tinny on the river, there’s cod and jacks. The boys are loving it! Even the cameraman gets in on the action. But all good things must come to an end, and a tough drive in means another tough drive out. Even the little bogholes cause big problems.
Jase and Simon head back to one of their favourite spots… Lorella Springs. But with a million acres, each trip offers something new, and this time is no exception. The boys are on a mission to follow in the footsteps of German explorer Ludwig Leichhardt who came to a mysterious end while trekking through northern Australia. Based on drawings in Leichhardt’s journals, his camps were nearby, so they set out to see if they can find any trace. But first, there is a rock formation that Rhett tells them is worth a detour, and after getting through the sandy tracks and rocky escarpment, Jase and Simon can’t resist a climb. With views like this, it’s not hard to appreciate what an amazing country we live in! Back in the trucks, they set out to look for a place to camp. Tonights dessert is a Jaffle-style Apple Pie.
Jase and Simon head to some familiar ground — the salt pans of Lorella Springs. The last time they were in this area, it almost ended in disaster with Simon rolling his truck while trying to recover Jase’s very stuck vehicle. This time Jase has a new plan to get out there by following the river beds, so they head out and are met with some very soft sand. That’s not the only challenge they’ll need to face, as Simon discovers he’s run out of coffee. With the prospect of facing 3-5 days before they’re back to town, he’s not a very happy camper. But Jase has an idea of how to put a smile back on his dial, and he makes a little pocket change in the process. It’s service with a smile as he serves up coffee with a slice of Simon’s Hundred Dollar Cake.
Jase and Simon are hitting the road again and are heading to one of their favourite areas out in Western Australia with some new spots to explore along the way including a start to the series in the incredible Bungle Bungles.
Jase and Simon are heading through the Pilbara and soaking in the landscape. They’ve got the time, because it’s a bit slow going through this area they liken to a mini Grand Canyon or the Wild West. An unexpected river crossing adds a bit of fun once they’ve aired down.
Jase and Simon continue to make their way through the beautiful Pilbara as they trek from Newman to Port Samson by way of a speccy gorge with directions from a local. It’s a day of water crossings ranging from steppy and rocky to deceptively deep. The marble-like river gravel on the banks challenges every entry and exit. And when the directions say to take a left down the creek bed, Jase goes down the creek bed. There’s some hasty winching to save the camera gear from a watery demise. Out comes the chainsaw to clear the hidden exit from debris so Simon can have a slightly easier time getting through with the caravan. Best to go set up camp and dry out, luckily there is a different vehicle that Jase can hop into later while the carpet finishes airing out!
Jase and Simon have finally made it to the coast and are looking forward to using some of their new toys. But first they’ve got one more day to try and bring in the big one for Day 2 of the fishing competition. After Simon’s red emperor came up just short, he’s determined to reel in a whopper. There are spanish macks and golden trevally, but will the biggest catch be a shark?
Jase and Simon are camped south of Onslow, but it’s time to put the big girl back in the water and head out to Mackerel Island and beyond. On the way to the boat ramp, Jase spots some interesting wildflowers that also intrigue farmer Simon. Then it’s time for a cook-up, and Jase has a treat with Lollipop Chicken on the menu.
Jase and Simon have left the Pilbara and are heading north to the Kimberley. They launch the barge and head 125 kilometres to check out a waterfall on the pristine coastline. They drop anchor and head ashore to explore the falls and waterhole and are rewarded with a spectacular beach sunset.
Jase and Simon are back on the mainland and head from Derby to Mt. Hart Wilderness Lodge, and they’re on a mission to find the old homestead from 1906. But the track goes from graded to ungraded to basically not there at all. They face water crossing after water crossing, and out comes the recovery gear to help clear the way.
Due to Covid, Jase and Simon have been locked out of WA after a quick trip home to draw the Keys 2 Adventure winner of the Back in Black truck! But there’s always a Plan B, so they fuel up at Borroloola with the goal of heading offshore to come islands that harken back to the early days of All 4 Adventure. They’ve even got old pal Stew along for this leg of the trip.
Jase and Simon are starting out in Borroloola but the goal is the Gulf. Before they head out, they take a quick tour of the Old Police Station Museum and are inspired by one of Leichhardt’s blaze trees. So it’s off into the bush they go with corrugations and creek crossings ahead.
Jase and Simon are heading out of Borroloola with their mate Stew. They’ve gotten permission to access the Bauhinia Downs Station with the goal of reaching the hot-spring-fed waterfall. First stop is to check out the pens of mustered buffalo that live on the flood plains of this outback cattle station.
Swampy — the BADASS 1996 Toyota Hilux with 46″ extreme mud terrain 4WD tyres — is back for a NEW UNTHINKABLE MISSION: Taking on Cape York in the Wet Season of 2022. Cape York’s wet season creates one of the most unforgiving environments in Australia. It’s scorching hot, soaked in water and teeming with beautiful yet dangerous wildlife like snakes, crocs and more. Even the most experienced adventurers wisely avoid the area during this time, as one wrong move could spell disaster for their vehicle… or even worse. Fortunately the one-of-a-kind cult hero Swampy was built for harsh conditions just like these, allowing Jase and good mate Jesse to explore Cape York in a way that they have never done before.
It’s too late to turn back now! The tracks have turned into quicksand, and the going is tough as this grueling Cape York Wet Season 4×4 adventure continues. Jase, Jesse and the team quickly find out that unlocking this beautiful and pristine environment is worth the price of admission, as they are treated to a unique hunting and fishing adventure that very few have experienced.
Join Jase, Jesse and the team for the latest instalment of their Cape York Wet Season 4×4 adventure! In this episode the boys link up with some Cape York locals, who have been terrorised by a group of ravenous wild pigs in search of a feed. Something has to be done, so the team set out on a mission to track them down. With the grunt work out of the way, it’s time to unload the tinny from the roof of Swampy and wet a line in this beautiful and pristine environment.
Whilst travelling down the Peninsula Development Road (PDR), the boys get a call from their mate Bobby who reckons he has a tough mission for Swampy the Hilux – some of Bobby’s prized bulls have gone rouge in Cape York in the middle of the wet season, and the boys have been tasked with tracking down the missing animals in one of the most unforgiving environments in Australia. The going won’t be easy – it’s scorching hot, soaked in water and teeming with beautiful yet dangerous wildlife like snakes, crocs and more. Fortunately the one-of-a-kind cult hero Swampy was built for harsh conditions just like these. Will they find the bulls and save the day? Or will Cape York’s Wet Season claim yet another victim…
Join Jase, Jesse and the team for the latest installment of their Cape York Wet Season 4×4 adventure! In the next episode of Swampy: Reloaded, Jase and Jesse are on a mission to reach the coastline. Wet season in Cape York is not the time you want a mechanical failure in the middle of nowhere. Could it spell disaster for the team?
In the next episode of Swampy: Reloaded, Jase and Jesse launch an ambitious mission to push their tinnie and their skills to the limit as they fight their way through treacherous Wet Season conditions to reach some of the most remote regions of Cape York. There’s no-one around, and there’s no help if something goes wrong. The risk is worth the reward, as the boys get to experience some spectacular Cape York country.
Jase and Simon rescue stranded travellers north of Cape York. They head off-shore into the Torres Strait before travelling south for a cool change on the wild west coast of Tassie.
The All 4 Adventure crew and camera team wander the wilds of Cape York by cars, boats and ATVs and cruise the vast landscapes of the Gulf of Carpentaria’s remote coastline. It is even more speccy from above.
Jase and Simon are back, and they’re meeting up with their old mate Jesse in Darwin to get the adventure started! Together they travel in the brand new fleet of vehicles to meet up with Sam Birch in Kununurra. Sam’s got a 10-day fishing trip planned for the boys down a difficult track with the promise of big barra along the way. But the weather forecast indicates that Mother Nature could add her own elements of surprise to make the trip more treacherous.
Jase and Simon along with Jesse and Sam pack up their Kimberley camp. Coffee in hand, Simon turns on the ignition and muses, "I wonder if we’ll drive over any rocks today." Famous last words as they are straight back into rocky jump-ups. Line choice and wheel placement is of upmost importance, but it doesn’t stop them from doing a bit of landscaping along the way.
Jase, Simon and their mates Jesse and Sam are hoping to make their way to the Berkeley River. They’re 175ks down the track, so there’s no turning back now. But there are more water crossings and winching and shovelling ahead.
With 50ks left to go on this challenging track, Jase, Simon and Jesse are wagering whether they’ll be cut off by the floodwaters at the Drysdale River. Jase is also keeping an eye on his fuel gauge which is sitting on ‘low’, and he’ll need to consider that as he navigates this tough terrain.
Trapped for four days on the wrong side of the Drysdale, today’s the day that Jase, Simon and Jesse will attempt the crossing. The water continues to drop, so they use the boat to gauge their best course of travel. With their winch ropes already set up on the other side, it’s time to take the plunge! It’s a sketchy crossing for the Big Rig, so they have the tow ropes ready for the lighter vehicles that they don’t want floating away. Quick thinking and confident driving gets the across, but one vehicle fares worse than the others.
After an amazing trek down the Carson River Track, Jase, Simon and mate Jesse are headed back towards Queensland. The plan is to meet up with Zac, Cissy & Jimmy, Rangers from Burketown who have a secret spot on a river system that the boys haven’t fished before. Despite all the rain, it’s a dusty drive down a corrugated road. Bull dust turns to sand, and Jesse knows they should probably get out to let their tyres down. But so late in the day, they all just want to keep moving. Will this be a decision they regret?
Jase, Simon and Jesse have just completed the Carson River track, one of the toughest tracks in all of Australia. Now they’re going to tackle the CREB track, a notoriously difficult track in Queensland. But first a quick stop at the Mossman Commemorative Air Raid Cairn for a bit of WWII history. As they reach the start of the CREB track, everything is lush and green. The very first misty crossing shows just how much rain they’ve had in this tropical paradise. A quick walk to determine the best path across, and these three adventurers are excited to be on their way despite the memories of the carnage they endured the last time.
Jase and Simon and their mate Jesse camped up on the side of the CREB track overnight. They’re just a couple of Ks and a few hills away from the end, so they set out while the rain has subsided to try and beat the next weather front. The day starts with a little wooden bridge before the first big hill. Jesse heads up first and drives the Chevy like he stole it. Jase follows in the 300, and Simon makes it up in the D-MAX. They’ve got one big super-hill to go, but they’re optimistic since all the vehicles have 4-wheel drive this time.

Jase and Simon are back… and Jesse too, and this time they’re taking on K’gari (Fraser Island), the world’s largest sand island! They’re not just sightseeing though, they’ve got a mission: to explore the island’s rugged beauty and diverse wildlife while putting their gear to the test. Getting their first taste of sand driving for the season, Jesse takes the lead, scouting a safe path along the beach. They’re leapfrogging sections of the beach, a delicate dance with the waves as they try to avoid getting swamped. But the tide is relentless, and the sun’s sinking fast. Time for a crucial decision: risk pushing forward or heed the advice of the locals?
Jase and Simon fill up their long-range tanks in Chillagoe, ready to hit the road and explore the goldfields. Their adventure begins with a splash as they cross a flooded causeway. They’ve got a massive trek ahead of them, crossing from east to west. There’s no way they will knock that over in one day. The next morning, they head out to meet the Fish Whisperer, and their journey is no disappointment as the wetlands are filled with birds and wildflowers. They meet up with brothers Scotty and Stoney in Kowanyama, the place of many waters. Will the Fish Whisperer live up to his name and help Simon and Jesse catch some meteries? Stoney assures Simon that he was catching big barra just a few weeks ago.
Jase, Simon and Jesse are heading back east into the gold country. Their journey begins at Palmerville Station, out near historic Maytown, in the Palmerville River region. They are warmly welcomed by Kerrie and Frog, the caretakers of this historical haven, who share their knowledge of the huts and the tin mining on the property. With a bit of daylight left, the team ventures out to explore the remnants of the old mine, marvelling at the rusted gear and intriguing core samples. Having just hopped out of their ATV, it is a thought-provoking experience to consider the journeys of those who came in the 1870s, who traversed from Cooktown on foot with wheelbarrows and picks. It’s a stark contrast to the modern machinery of today!
In this special mission, Jase and Simon go fishing, push their vehicles to the limit and get themselves into some trouble before visiting the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park to pay homage to the great man himself.
Jase and Simon are taking their new mate Billy for a drive to an old mining town in the Cape, before heading off to a secluded and secret fishing spot. With the boys towing the latest AusRV gear, Cape York’s Toughest Track just got even tougher.
Take a special look at life ‘Behind the Scenes’, following Jase & co on their All-Time Family Holiday.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL — Jase & Simon have built a barge and it’s just as insane as you can imagine! Over the years Jase & Simon have used 4×4’s, boats, ATV’s, Swampy, Unimogs and even choppers to push the boundaries of travel, visiting places that are unexplored and hard to reach. They have crafted unique ways of navigating their machines through difficult terrain, using zip lines, tying tinnies together, floating vehicles with inflatables and even putting quad bikes in boats. This time however, the boys have built something bigger and better. Something that will get them into river systems and special places that are hard to reach.
In this episode Australia’s #1 adventure team LAUNCH THE MONSTER BARGE from the extremely remote town of Karumba, in the Gulf of Carpentaria. The boys are pumped to try out all of the new gear in these wild conditions, but tragedy strikes on the first night of their adventure. Will Jase & Simon overcome their TINNY TURBULENCE, or will the mission be over before it has begun?
Join Jase, Simon and their good mate Stewie on their latest adventure in the Northern Territory! Jase originally got the F-Truck to tow the MONSTER BARGE, but would you believe that he has never tested it off-road… until now that is! A local has tipped the boys off about a secret barra-filled billabong, and that is all that Jase needs to hear. Rugged terrain and creek crossings await them. How will the #RAMEATR perform? And will there be barra in the billabong?
You’ve seen Jase’s giant F250 RAMEATER in the latest series of All 4 Adventure and the ‘Barging Through’ mini series. Now watch the evolution of the beast in the latest Unleashed Exclusive… Rameater: Concept to Adventure!
