youtu.be/zgTzMDQCkAs Antennapalooza's on again this year! We were eager to attend again, XSS even presenting! But will the weather hold out? Spoiler - it did not. Much "fun" ensued in the mud, and I attempted this year's project - building a 10m tape measure yagi...

youtu.be/sMe7Ij1NWJA Last part of our CSR adventure video is up! Return home from Menindee, stay in Hattah Kulkyne, before heading home to unpack and review some numbers. Fix the car and try a not-so-successful electronics project, then a little bit on what's coming next!

youtu.be/KSJJ8EVZ_IE Broken Hill. In NSW, but quite South Australian… Albert Kersten Mining and Minerals Museum then the Living Desert State Park After that, Burke and Wills campsite in Medindee Then briefly* the Burke and Wills expedition. (* - ok, it's half the video).

youtu.be/SYhtgYI94jU Leaving Coober Pedy, the next part of our adventure - traversing Outback South Australia. William Creek, we add something to the pub wall. Curdimanka Siding - the Stuart Creek Bridge. We turn to Cameron Corner, but continue into QLD shortly after.

youtu.be/ucahkegPWXA Our next stop is Coober Pedy, famous for opal mining. Dinner at a 360 degree theatre, stay in an underground motel, then visit a former opal mine, (re)discovered recently. Then we head out into the opal fields to get extremely close to a wind turbine.

New DropTableAdventures video: Uluru - the other bucket list trip! youtu.be/zBtq2PFTTv0 While we were in the area, we decided to see Uluru, as I'd not done it. Splashing out on two nights at the Sails in the Desert Hotel, we set out to walk round Kata Tjuta then Uluru.

youtu.be/Kudi4QQZe2o Formerly The Mereenie Loop, the Red Centre Way provides an alternative route from Alice Springs down to the Lasseter. Along it Simpsons Gap, Standley Chasm, Serpentine Gorge, Orniston Gorge etc, but we visit the spectacular Kings Canyon Rim Walk.

youtu.be/eD7OTedeYLk While getting a wheel alignment, we check out Alice Springs - starting with the Reptile Centre. Then a little more radio related - the choice is obvious - School Of The Air, then the RFDS museum - but is Alf Traeger's legacy remembered?

youtu.be/kyiuSQJJ5Fo Driving the long journey from Halls Creek to Alice Springs. Planning to do this via the Tanami Track, we go the long way due to poor road conditions, making the most of the NT's 130km/h speed limit... which we soon discover has a bit of a downside.

Next part of our adventure awaits: youtu.be/LLxdwzXNRGQ Unknown to most until 1983, and only a National Park in 1987. The Bungle Bungle range features massive rock chasms, slot canyons with high walls, and spectacular views from lookouts, this place is well worth a visit.

The last part of our CSR adventure is up - but it's not the end! youtu.be/vRYo8SkdwLI We find out who perhaps shouldn't have "bought a jeep", check out the who's who on the side of Godfrey Tank. Diverting into the Paruku IPA, we reach Halls Creek. But it's the wrong one!

youtu.be/P_vOPSNeFCU We cover the story of why Well 37 may or may not be "the haunted well", get stuck for the first time, take a look inside a cave, work out who's leaving barrels of jet fuel behind, find the newest abandoned vehicle on the CSR, and much more...

youtu.be/8bSvAeaDfYk The next part of our CSR trip is up! We begin at Georgia Bore, check out the well restored Tiwa, meet some other travellers for the first time, see the results of Snell and Canning having an argument, buy fuel, supplies and a shower.

(doing this one manually, TweetDeck lost my scheduled post somehow)?

youtu.be/axwS5etIfZo Leaving Durba Springs, the 4WD'ing gets much more difficult as we take the detour into the Diebil Hills. Ttrack closure, heavy rainfall resulted in it being very overgrown. Camped at Lake Disappointment, crossed Savory Creek, ending up at Georgia Bore.

youtu.be/b2zr3Y4fBu4 In the next part of the adventure, we continue further along the Canning Stock Route to eventually end up at the picturesque Durba Springs. On the way, we visit the historically significant Weld Springs, camp alongside Lake Aerodrome.

youtu.be/BSfhvfJYzVc It is a testament to the sheer amount of planning and preparation involved in this journey that we are only now beginning the trip itself in the third video of the series... We turn onto the CSR track to begin the adventure itself, finishing at Well 6.

youtu.be/AVgacZ2ALXs In this video, we embark upon the nearly 3500km journey from Melbourne to Wiluna to begin our journey down the Canning Stock Route. We travel across the Nullarbor, visit the Eucla telegraph station, before staying at the beautiful North Pool.

youtu.be/_SDzgW8p0nM The CSR is an 1800km track through the middle of very remote Western Australia, following a historic stock route. Some history of the CSR, preparation of the vehicle, then info on food, fuel, equipment, spare parts, navigation and communication.

youtu.be/iVSuLIH5kRc We take a trip to Byfield National Park and head out to Stockyard Point, drive down Nine Mile Beach, see Five Rocks, and on the way, tackle Big Sandy. While keeping an eye on Water Park Creek… if it floods, we're not getting out of there any time soon!
