Tropical Punch Motorcycle Adventure Episode 5 Kimberley Exploration

Motorcycle Adventure Dirt Bike TV supported proudly by Adventure Spec in the UK, Rally Raid Products, Giant Loop in the United States, Adventure Moto in Australia, Pirelli Tyres, Motel Oils, RK Chains and Australian Adventure Bike Magazine. Nugget and I have had two great wins. Firstly, we've been invited by Craig Woody Woodward and the Lease of Elwood Motorcycle Adventures to join them on a 10-day adventure from Cairns to Darwin and then go exploring with them in the Western Australian Kimberleys where they hope to expand their motorcycle adventure tours. And to make it even better, Husqvarna Australia have given Nugget and I two brand new Husky 701s to ride on this 7000km adventure across Australia's tropical top end. Nugget and I were over the moon when Husky offered us the bikes. I'd recently ridden the Husqvarna Long Range and had been very impressed. The Huskies are light and powerful with excellent suspension and handling. Out of the box they are a premium adventure mount and require little modification, just an off-road bash plate, metal hand guards and rally pegs. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this video contains images and the names of people who have passed away. It's a bit deep over there. We're on the Gibb River Road and we're making good time. It's quite funny, we're just cruising along at highway speeds. You just get so used to speed and gravel. Huskies are going well. We haven't gone through any oil which, I mean, when you think about it, we've been going now for, this is day 16 and, you know, we've got the bikes revving, you know, quite high at times, you know, doing up to 130km plus and, yeah, the bikes are going good. Yeah, the locals have put us onto this gorge. I mean, what we keep seeing is just stacks and stacks of people. Apparently, there's a good spot down here. Now, this is the benefit of local knowledge. Yeah. They gave us a bit of information, 16km out of town, a little pea sign, turn right. Look what brings that out, magical. We would have driven right past that otherwise. Oh, you're kidding me. Cheese, chorizo sausage, oh, Leatherman. I've got some jats up there in my bag. Some crackers. Show us your crackers. Oh, there they are. Oh, no, they weren't your crackers. We're in Western Australia, we're in the Kimberleys and we're eating chorizo sausage and cheese and jats. What's it like, Nugget? Is that good? Okay, well, I might come in then. Oh, he's got cracked pepper. Jats, chorizo, reminds me of being in Spain. Have a look at this. Nugget and I have gone for a swim in there that is not as warm as you think. And we're drying off now. Let's do it. The rugged beauty of the Kimberleys ensures you're never too far from a decent river crossing. Each one has its own unique challenges and whilst one line may be easy, the other may be full of surprises. Dirty water just adds to the tension and you could easily completely sink a bike, but not if you're Squid. I've never seen a bloke try so hard to keep upright and I guess the added incentive was knowing the crocodiles were often seen here. Well done, Squid. Wasn't pretty. Didn't have to be, mate. Got you there. Day 15. This is our life. Come in, have a shower. I wash my same shirt with shampoo, socks with shampoo, undies. Keep my boots up on the rear vision mirrors to keep the spiders out. Little one-man tents become home. How are we going with the sausages, mate? Mate, we're getting there. They're going? Yeah, mate. Got a bit of heat? Nugget, they're lovely. You've done well. Now I'd like to introduce you to the cooking Nugget and whilst his dinner was excellent, his breakfast was unforgettable in so many ways. God help me. So Nugget, tell me what you're cooking. Sausage goreng. Sausage goreng? Yeah. We're going to have... These are sausages from last night. Yeah. Hygienically prepared. We're just going to get the fat off them. Just break them up with your hands, mate, who are you kidding? Have you washed your hands before you went to the toilet this morning? I've had a shower. Oh, that's good. No, but what did you do first? Did you go to the toilet first or had the shower? I just need to know that before I eat this. He's not telling us, Elyse. No, I wouldn't. That's why I'm having muesli. My name's Billy, not silly. Do you like the flavour of your sausages this time of the morning, Nugget, or what? Well, that's what I was thinking too. There's a whole lot of things that could have gone on. We might leave a couple of sausages for Billy. Oh, that's good. Delicious. You could do some sort of kitchen cooking program. No, just outback adventure cooking. Roadhouse tucker, it's called. Whatever you can get at the roadhouse is all you're allowed to put on the menu. There we go. I've got a... But, to add to it, I've got some cheese and nuggets, secret spices. Right. This will put some air in your head. Right. Clearly not many. That was a low joke, Dave. That was a low joke, but it just came out. Oh my God, that's why he's got... Look at him. You've got hundreds of them. I've been saving on them. All right, so what's going on now, Nugget? What are you doing? I've got to get the water out of the pot, but it's bloody hot. Oh, it's burned your fingers? Yeah. Lucky we're near medical services. I don't know if... Oh, the back's hot. Okay. We got this, Dave. You've got this. I'm just filming it. Sausage omelette, look. We'll crack a couple of eggs in there. Make your money for that in a restaurant, Nugget. Right. Look at that. Don't delay. My mum will be proud of me. She taught me everything I know with cooking. If you don't flick all the sausages out on the ground, we'll be happier. You putting a thing in it? Yeah, you want to put some juices in? Yep. Yeah. Little bit of seasoning, fried onion. No, no, those other ones. You had those other ones. Hey, there's the cookie. You don't tell the cookie how to cook. Sorry, mate. Those other ones, you had spicy stuff. Those three. Yeah. Where's that pocket knife? It's so delicious. You know, for a rooster, you're pretty weak. You're just squeezing the sauce out of a tube. You're struggling, mate. What's wrong? I've been off the tools for a while, obviously. You need to go get an axe, Nugget. You just flicked the lease in the eye with a bloody curry paste. It's like I'm skinning a pig. How many more of these have you got to go? If it was a bit of the Leatherman, they'd have scissors on them. Don't blame the tools, mate. You got the cheap version. Well, I just had some... That's real flavour. Is it? Okay, I'll go another one. God, here we go. Well, that's not going to happen. Oh, yes, it does happen. Am I eating this? Oh, that looks like a pussy pimple. Oh, God. Am I eating this? Hope not, because I'll have it all. I know squid will eat it. Meanwhile, what's Elise had this morning? I just had some muesli, yoghurt and fruit. And you're just dying to have some of this, aren't you? Yep. Yummy. You've got to put the other ones in, mate. The other ones have got the real flavour. No, what's he pulling out now? What's this one? The hygienic cook. They're just peanuts, aren't they? They're wild berries. I collected them earlier. Wild nuts from the Cocos tree. I haven't seen it. Hey, have you done much for your camera, you faggot? I think you need to go to a dentist to get your teeth sharpened. This is looking... Oh, what? Bull's had another faggot. You got that one? Oh, he's learning. He's choking. What else have you got in there? Jesus, this is going to be the most... Oh, God help me. He inhaled it. It's like you've been shot with a flower gun. Oh, that stuff's really strong. I can smell it from here. It's got some on your nose, mate. Oh, that's too hot. Righto, kid, bring your bowls up. Dave, you got any fighting gear to eat this duck with, or what? Oh, yeah, I've got a couple of knives and forks left. Let's just have a look. Let's have a look at them. Oh, Jesus, look at the crap. Yeah, they just need a bit of tidying up. Got a bit of river mud on them and a few other things, but they're all right. That's from when I roosted you. Yeah, that's the least roost. Oh, look at that fork. It couldn't be any worse than what Nugget's cooked, let's be serious. Let's have a look. Oh, look at the fork. Okay, so hang on. We want to get a live tasting. What do you reckon, Nugget? Masterchef. Can you get the powder off your nose? All right. Squid. All right, well, I'll go a bit of sausage with a bit of noodles. You could live on it. What about Woody? Woody's the independent one. I'd rather Woody like my sausage than squid. Nugget. Oh, you got the mark of approval. I'd like to see Elyse have a little taste. Oh, God, she was dying for that. I feel like I just got the prom queen enjoyment. Oh, me. All right, where are we, mate? All right, so we're here at the moment. We're at Drysdale River Station. Yeah. So we're pretty much in the middle of the Kimberley right now. Right. What we've got, what the plan was, was to go further north, but we've been told that the road's shut, heading further north at the moment. We're a bit too early, so we can't get any further north than here. Yeah. So we're going to backtrack back onto the Gibb River Road, and we'll go down and have a look at all the gorges along the Gibb River Road, camp somewhere here tonight along the Gibb. Yeah. And then we'll work our way down through Windjana, back along the southern side of the Kimberley, and we'll work our way back east, back across to Daly Waters and that later on in the next few days. So that's the rough plan for now. Could change, but we'll see where we can get to. Yeah. So Nugget, what's the go, mate? Dave, you just asked what's the scale of this map, and I just happen to know that all maps used for topographical and geographically for travel are set at one in 100,000. Hang on, what's this say? One in a million. I forgot a zero! Can Woody oversight this? Rough it up, ready for it to stick. Is that the spot though? Nugget's tube anxiety is real. There are now no spare front tubes in the group, and patching becomes mighty important. Well, I should say patching correctly, and the challenge we have is Woody's repair kit is old, and the glue and patches tend not to stick well. Combine that with old tubes that are splitting, and we have a problem. We leave this camp knowing we are on loaded bases. One more front flat, and we are in serious trouble if these patches don't work. An important part of this trip is for Woody and Elise to identify great adventure trails and places of interest for their expanding tour business that will include this Kimberley region. We're finding stacks of great tracks and some spectacular pristine water holes like this one. Well, I thought it was pristine. Note to self, never ever swim downstream from Nugget. God help me. Is it true that Nugget did something in that swimming hole before I jumped in? Something I do not want to talk about while I'm eating. Nugget! And there I was swimming downstream. I've probably eaten it. What's the go? A sandy bottom. It's really deep just in the middle. Yeah. Just there, really deep. Over there is not too bad by the look of it. What about off to the left, right? Yeah, there's a little deep section there too. I think I'll give it a go through the center there. Yeah. But right in the middle, I reckon it'll be over the bonnet. Yeah, you've got to keep it on. Yeah, it's a really... This is probably the most sandiest river we've come across. Here comes the lease. It's got that first bit. Easy. This is campsite 17. We've got a real special treat, but there's a bit of pain involved. So Nugget, what do we have to do? It's like a run, swim, run. So we've got to head down the river, swim across the river with a barrel with our clothes in it. Yeah. We've got to get up the other side and then we've got to walk, I think it was 25 Ks or it might have been 2.5. 2.5. 2.5 Ks off steep hill. Yeah. Nugget's got his walking shorts on. Yeah. And yeah, I'm on. Yeah. I'm a bit worried about the swim though. Yeah. How's the lease going? Seven o'clock in the morning. You swimming? It's about 80 degrees. Yeah. No. I'll watch. The lease is going in the barrel, I heard. Yeah, you can put me in the barrel. All right. The things we do. Come on Nugget, where are you? We made it Nugget. Certainly no Ian Thorpe. No, you're not an Ian Thorpe. Oops. Nugget, that's all you want, just a little one, just a little one. I've got to redeem myself. In the afternoon, a kind camper gave Nugget and I a lend of their canoe and true to form, Nugget the croc hunter found a floating handbag. The fresh water variety, not far from where we had swum to cross the creek on our earlier walk. Dave, how come everyone's got a bikini clad model with them and I've got you? I don't know mate, it's just the luck of the draw. Just the luck of the draw. There's a freshie Dave, over there on the rock. If there's one thing that keeps me coming back to adventure riding, it's the realisation that just when you thought you've seen everything, something comes along that catches you out and hits you right between the eyes. Nugget is suffering from tube anxiety and before this ride, I didn't even know the condition existed. I can tell you that it has very similar symptoms to fuel anxiety but instead of constantly thinking about the next fix of fuel, Nugget has rubber on his mind, 21 inches of rubber to be exact. His trail speed is dropping, he's becoming withdrawn and he's not concentrating on the job at hand. He needs a rubber fix and out here the chances of that are pretty slim. Nugget, you hit a big rock. There's bloody plenty of them here, isn't there? So irritating. Yeah mate, knocked it out. Bloody hell. Have we got any 21s? You wouldn't believe it Squid. I wouldn't believe it mate. You hit that big rock back there. 200, yeah about 300 metres back. Yep, I missed it by that much. Mate, I know. Fuck, it's bloody huge. Can you just hit that and bam. Squid, do you have a 21 or not? No. Oh, you do. Oh, I gotta get going. Yep. Squid has the last 21 inch front tube between the five of us and everything is looking sweet so I move ahead. But after a lengthy wait at the next rendezvous point, it's clear that Nugget isn't back on the road. Okay, fill us in gentlemen. What's been happening since I... Well, I've got a flat. Yeah. And on the front, I hit a big rock. And you can see the big warping. And Squid had a spare on the front of his and it had wear marks so it had holes in it already. From rubbing on the thing. So we put that one in, it was no good. Then we put that new 18 I bought in. Yeah. It was really tight and we pinched on trying to get it in. It's an 18 and a 21. I was trying to squeeze it over so we ruined that tube. And so, yeah, we're just trying to fix my old one. So you wouldn't believe there's a tyre place just up the road. It's about 40 k's back. Yeah. And I rang him from the mission down there. They got a phone and they said, he's got no patches. He's only got small patches. He hasn't got the big ones. He's been waiting on them like the rest of this joint out here, waiting for things. And he said, but bring it in. I'll do my best to try and patch it with the small patches I got. So we're going to, instead of riding any further, because it's just going to ruin the tube if we go further, I'm going to take that one in plus the other two that we've got, that have got punctures, and see what he can do and try and fix them all. The funniest thing is I just stopped into the Aboriginal community in here and I said, hey, have you guys seen anyone on a motorbike come through? And she said, yeah, we saw a fella come in this tall, like this, hair like chicken. Hair like chicken. While Nugget and I headed back up the road, about 40 Ks to see if we could get some tubes repaired, the Indigenous community bush telegraph had been set into action and they were determined to help us. And they came through and saved the day. Whoa. That is a good one. The look of relief on Squid's face says it all. There wasn't much left on this Yamaha, but what was left was gold for us. The question now on everyone's mind was, would that front tube be okay after sitting in that bike for years? Nugget and I got back to camp in the evening with a new puncture repair kit, but no new tubes. So there was a lot riding on this tube. Yeah, your bike looks like a Balinese disco. Where are we? What are we doing? Oxford Street. What are we doing? Yeah, a place called Imagy. We've got a tyre. We've got a tyre off of WR426 and we're going to fix it up this morning and we're going to get this show on the road. I can't believe it. While we're out trying to get some other stuff. These two making mates. Making mates. It comes on a hood. Yeah, some Indigenous guy come out of the woodwork and come to the rescue. Let's have a look. We've been saved by Indigenous people a couple of times on this trip. Yeah, tell us Elise, what happened to Nugget? So you rock in here looking for Nugget. What happened? I went in and the beautiful Aboriginal people were doing some paintings and I said, hey guys, have you seen some people come through here on motorbikes? And she said, sure, little man like this, hair like chicken. I was like, that's Nugget. That's Nugget. That's definitely him, I'm on the right track. They're beautiful, they really help us out. Yeah, it's interesting, you know, what I've always found is, you know, when there's adversity, this is the most memorable bits of the trip. Yeah, absolutely. You know, we will always remember when this Indigenous boat rocks up with an IT426 on the bonnet of his car to help us out. It doesn't get any better than that. A big day today and we start with a flat tyre, but things are looking up. We're looking very up. We've actually got a lot of kicking and stepping going on, haven't we Nugget? We're pumped. We're excited. Dave! I'm glad people think it's really funny that I've got no tyres. Tube anxieties. Nugget, Nugget, you've got tube anxiety. He's got tube anxiety. We've all got tube anxiety. Mate, I can hear it. It's leaking. Oh, gee. That's straight out of the packet. That's from sitting around too long. Oh dear, oh dear. They're thin. It's holding, but we need to patch that. We need to patch that and then you go on the inside and it's no better. Holy cow. Go on the inside. So we've got three patches on this one already. I'm going to put eight patches on there if we could use it. Eight patches, Nugget. How are you feeling? Mate, it sounds like fly screens on submarines. I was a bit lost yesterday. I come in here looking for help and I was looking for some glue and they sent me. I ended up with getting some stuff, but it didn't quite work. They came out and they helped us out there yesterday. They saw us sitting out there in the middle of nowhere. Lance, is it Lance? Yeah. Lance went and got a bike and brought it back on the bonnet. We've got the tube in now, so we're hoping to make it about 400 Ks on that tube. And Edna, you saw him out there. He looked a bit lonely. Yeah, everyone looked a bit lost there, so I was feeling for them. We ended up going down to camp and throwing a bike on the bonnet and yeah, we helped them out. Thank you so much. It's hostile country out there. You don't want to see anyone stuck out here. Yeah, we felt for you, so we had to do something to help. No, thank you so much. I heard you described Nugget. How did you describe him? Chicken. Chicken hair. The bloke with the chicken hair. I'll get a beer up. The bloke with the chicken hair. I'll get a painting done of a chicken next time I'm here. Maybe next time you come with no hair. Yeah, maybe you come with no hair, Nugget. That's a hint. Thank you so much. And all your daughters are painting, like your lovely painting. Yeah, they all paint Wendulous with me here at the art centre. Probably right down to the six youngest, yeah. And they all paint here with us every day. And your dad was a famous artist too, eh? Yeah, and dad was a famous artist as well. He's got artwork all over the world. His name was Jeff Dale. In our culture, we can't say their name after their car. But to me, I think that I want to hear his name so he can be remembered, you know? Yeah, thank you. I bought this off Keira. It's beautiful. You know what I mean? Well, I'll give this to my daughters. Thank you. They'll love it. Thank you very much. It's fantastic. Here you go, Nugget. Who painted yours? Nora. Hey. Can I get a photo of Nora? Do you know who I am? Yeah. I'll put it beside when I put this up on my wall. I'll put a photo of me and you under it. Yeah, yeah. Really? Yeah. Thank you. That's beautiful, isn't it? Excellent paint. I'll just get a picture. And what's that picture about, Dave? Edna. This one is the unborn children. We've got a sacred site here in Imigi. And it represents my kids as well because Imigi is woman's land. So I had seven girls and I finally had a baby boy. Go the boy. He'll be picked on. So your tribe is a freshwater tribe? Ngarrindjin, yeah, freshwater. Yeah. Freshwater. Where there's three tribes. There's Wurrumbal and Warawa tribe in Derby. And Ngarrindjin runs from Imigi all the way to Kalambru. So the Ngarrindjin represent a lot. So Lance was saying in the early days you used to trade with saltwater people and freshwater people. Yeah, that's what they used to do, you know, with the pearl shells. And they use them pearl shells now for ceremonies, like dance. We say junba. And they do special dance ceremonies for getting the little boys in when they come back to be men. Well, thank you so much for all your kindness yesterday and looking at your wonderful artwork. It was fantastic to be able to take some home and we'll share it. Yeah. We couldn't just let you just sit there, you know. Yeah. So we knew that you needed help. So one day you might see us on the road. We will. We will give you help. That's right. Yeah. So we couldn't just leave you there. What a great way to start the morning. We might have due to anxiety, mate, but they're lovely people. They've got the greatest painting in the world. Yeah, just beautiful. What a privileged nugget. Yeah. Stunning. Lovely people. So it's a bit sad off camera, a father who's worried about the camera. He's really traditional. He told us some really good stories about swapping spears and boomerangs because their teeth were so hard. Yeah, he was just a bit worried about being on camera due to cultural things and that. It's sad because a lot of those things don't get told out to the public, you know. Yeah. Things I'll remember and you'll remember. Oh, definitely. You just can't get them out there. But yeah, shy men and culturally different to us. Wonderful help for us today. Yeah, it was really good though. I enjoyed that time. That tube from that bike is in there now. Mate, it's going to be an interesting day. Nugget's got tube anxiety before we even start. Thanks, Les. Thanks, Les, for the tube. We leave Imitji having made new friends, Lance and Edna Dale and their seven kids. The circumstances of our friendship has been forged in adversity. They saw we needed a hand and they bent over backwards to help us. To cap it off, Edna is an accomplished Indigenous artist and her kids are following in her footsteps of storytelling through art. And by the looks of this rugged landscape, there are many, many more stories to tell. Nugget, I can't see any crocs. If he's any closer, he'll jump out and bite you. Where is he? Bite you on the snout. See him over there? Out there in the... There's another one just down 10 metres down from him. Although we're into the final days of our adventure, Woody and Elise are still on the lookout for great tracks and spectacular places to visit. As we rode along this ridge, we had glimpses of the gourds to our right, but it wasn't until Elise took the drone up, did we truly appreciate the stunning beauty of this gorge that was inhabited by the odd freshwater crocodile. On this day, Nugget's tube anxiety takes a back seat as the return of fuel anxiety is real for me. We've left Halls Creek with our sights set on Kalkaringi, which is 400 kilometres away. The terrain is mainly flat with good track conditions and I've decided to go for a long distance record with the fuel that I have. I reckon that if I keep the bike sitting around 80 kilometres an hour, I'll make the 400 k's unassisted. But at that speed, it's certainly going to be a long day. Surprisingly, I arrive in Kalkaringi not too far behind the others. But sitting around 80 k's all day to get a fuel economy record is something I don't intend to repeat. Great track, Woody. It ended up being a good, interesting day. Cracking gorges and those roads, just fantastic. Beautiful, hey? Yeah, it was good. Big cattle stations out there, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah. Big wide open plains. Kalkaringi, I made it in. Can't believe I made it here. Anyway. Yeah, good fuel economy. I suffered doing 80 to 90 k's for the last two hours, but it was worth it. From the air, Kalkaringi doesn't look different from any small country town. But this little town was the epicentre of a movement in 1966 led by Indigenous elder Vincent Lingari that inspired national change in the form of equal wages for Aboriginal workers and land rights. In August 1966, Vincent Lingari led 200 Indigenous workers from the Wave Hill farm in a walk-off where they were being ill-treated. His actions were the catalyst that would eventually allow Indigenous people to claim land title if they could prove a traditional relationship to country. Vincent's actions were the inspiration for Paul Kelly's song From Little Things, Big Things Grow. And the story of Wave Hill walk-off is worth a read. As usual, Nugget has been getting to know the town and by chance he has bumped into Rob, a direct descendant of Vincent Lingari. OK, so last night we stayed at Kalkaringi. It's a great place to stay. But, um, Nugget's... Well, what's the go, Nugget? I'm on to it. Um, yeah, I was telling a story last night about the walk-off. Yes, yeah. I've met a bloke in town who's the nephew of the famous Vincent who's passed away. And he's telling us his grave's out here. Wow. He's going to take us out and see his grave where they all walked off from the station and where they all walked to it. I think he said Wadanobi Creek, where they all camped for nine years. But he's, yeah, they're great. All right, let's go. Let's go check it out. He's going to meet me there. All right. Yeah, Nugget, huge discovery last night about this place. We come into town, the servo was closed. We thought, no, it's a 24-hour card. So we fuelled up with the card and there was one car there blacked out windows and me being the little sticky bug, I am starving, went over and knocked on the window and I said, oh, is there anywhere we can get food? And there was a lovely lady, Indigenous lady there. She said, yep, go around the corner. There's a little club there. And mate, what a hidden gem. What a hidden gem. We went around the corner and wow. Yeah, we're in there. We got a great feed, met some great people. But also we've met Robbie, who's related to the great Vincent Ligano, who did the walk-off. Lingari. I'm not called that. I haven't got that tongue movement. But yeah, did the famous walk-off from Wave Hill Station back in 66. Yeah, they weren't happy with the treatment. They were getting treated different to the whites. Forced to live in little tin shacks on the ground, crawling on their knees. And I actually knew about the story and it dawned on me when I saw the name. And yeah, we met Robin. Yeah, he's brought us out to where it actually happened. It's actually quite, it's eerie to think that this happened only 50 years ago. So it's actually not that long ago, is it? This year is the anniversary, the 55th anniversary of the Wave Hill Walk-off, which we celebrate annually. Yep. And where I'm standing now with Nugget, behind me is the first settlement after they walked off back in 66 from Wave Hill Station. And they stayed here for nine years. Well, the Prime Minister of Australia, Gough Whitlam, got involved in the end and came up to here and got involved. That's how serious this was. It was just wrong, wasn't it? Just Aboriginal people just being treated completely different to whites. And it's not like there was 200 that walked off. But what I found out about talking to a lot of the Indigenous and relatives, if there's 200, there was maybe 200 in the camp on the station. But then there's the families. Yeah, only a handful got to go out and ride and work. But the others couldn't leave. They wouldn't leave. If one walked, you were shot. It wasn't safe to walk off. People weren't treated right. So for 200 to get together, and it's the first time like a mass movement has happened. And the people who ran the station, you couldn't do anything. If 200 walk, it's changed the whole dynamics of the way people are treated in this country. There were a lot of walk-offs in other places, other stations, previous before the Wave Hill. This one was one of the most successful ones. Yeah. Well, it's good because, mate, what a hidden gem this town is. It's just... How do you pronounce it? Because I'm not good with the tongue again. Kaaparingi. And as I said yesterday on the video, it's pretty remote. Like we've been in the Gibb River, Dover, Simpson Desert. This is remote. And this is true Outback Australia. You don't get any more out. This is so remote, Mad Max turned back. Thanks for your time, Rob. And you're now going to take us to Vincent's Grave? Yes, we're going to go straight up there to... What a privilege. What a privilege to take us onto the land. Yeah. Thank you very much. Let's go. Your ancestors rest in place. Is there any cultural things we've got to do before? Yes. This is our Jumbi Wegi Jala Irang, which means this is where they come and rest, where it's warm all together. So... Which means all our family and ancestors are all here, resting. So, you know, we come to pay respect. But what I'm going to do first, before we go see old Vincent Ngiari's grave, is I'll have to go over there and speak in language, just so he can welcome me so I don't get sick from his spirit. And also to welcome you all as well. Just to let him know that you guys are there. Mate, you're giving me goosebumps. OK. All good. So if we can walk in and I'll go first. You go first. Yeah, you come with me. You can keep filming for now while I'm doing this bit. Yeah. You guys want to come in slowly? Yeah. Like you said, we're here, welcome us, welcome you guys, because he is the one that walked off and now his story's been told for you all, you know, so yeah. Was Vincent a welcoming man? He was... Yeah, he was. Most certainly, he was. He was... He... Very humble. Humble, yeah. And probably one of the greatest men for all Wurundjeri people, because he's one of those ones that stood up against all odds. He seems a very strong man in my eyes. For anyone to make a commitment in those days, any man who gets up and goes against the grain has to have some sort of will and determination. And obviously he had a massive one because he risked being shot and executed and all sorts of things. He must have been a great leader to be able to influence everyone else, because a lot of these walk-offs were not successful. So he's, he led the first successful walk-off. And made sure that he, well, kind of asked what he, what he got now. Yeah. Literally, you know, that, you know, he started off the union. The movement. Yeah. And, you know, fair wages and all that sort of stuff. Could I look, could I look and have a look at his picture? I see his picture there. Oh, sorry, I said I wasn't going to look. He lived to 80. He looks like a good horseman. Great privilege. I'm so pleased we kind of just, you know, randomly passed through here. And now you can put everything together. Yeah. You heard about this song that Paul Kelly sang about this whole thing here. From Little Things, Big Things Grow. Now you're in the. So now that whole song is written about. Yeah. What a fitting end to the final day of our motorcycle adventure across the top end of Australia. We had taken on some tough conditions and at times the tracks were challenging and relentless. And we'd been immersed in a huge ancient landscape for weeks. And to finish off on the final day with a greater understanding of Australian history just capped off a cracking adventure. The remaining 800km of the trip would be on the blacktop. And later this evening, Nugget and I would arrive in Darwin. But there was still some unfinished business and it had something to do with kangaroo poop. I think someone made a bet since it's our last day of riding. Someone made a bet with me that if I run out of fuel, you would eat kangaroo poop. Is that true? I heard that. Woody doesn't lie. Actually it's on film. Is it? It's on film. So what I've done is a bit of our Australia finest. I've picked up, had in my pocket for two days ready for this auspicious occasion. It's just grass, Dave. Can I put it in your water? Yeah, you can drink it. All right, okay. By the looks of it, you can smoke it. You can put it in your water. All right, okay. Okay, I think that's what I'll do. You serious? Yeah, I'm serious. You got to do it, mate. I'm a man of my word and so are you, hopefully. All right, okay. You want a bit of tea? Yeah, I could actually promote that. All right. Here's to brother David, brother David, brother David. Here's to brother David. He's happy, he's jolly, he's so pissed by golly. Here's to brother David who's with us today. So drink it down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. No, I can't do any more than that. Ah, it's all gone. So to make you do that, I had to run out of fuel, Dave. But Squid and I set you up because I didn't even really run out of fuel. I just stopped 500 metres out of town and Squid pushed me in. We just pretended we ran out of fuel. Were you in on this? That's a sliding doors moment. That is a disgrace. What's going to happen to me with this? What's going to happen to me? If you used to get out of bed in the morning and you're hopping on two feet, I'd be a bit worried. I think Nugget, you should eat that last little bit then, stitching him up. Here you go, Nugget. All right. Mate, it was a great time. Oh, it was great, wasn't it? We'll get four flats going down the road now. Yeah, you better, eh, buddy? Yeah, thanks, Dave. Now, we've got everything, mate. Now, we've got the spanner to get the wheel nut on. Yes. And we've got the WD-40. Yes. Okay. And I've got juice. Come. Oh, I've got my pump. I've got two. One of the two boats got hauled in. We don't need him. Oh. Remember Woody? Remember that? We've got 100k to go. Last time I rowed a boat, we rowed 10 metres to the shop. Remember in my country? Yeah. Mate, it's been a cracking night. That's true. One in a while. Yeah.
