In this episode we look at life on the track, bushtucker and go deeper into my Saudi Arabian camel expedition. I also explore how Sophie developed the confidence to undertake such an epic journey across Australia in the first place.
In this series I join up with my friend Sophie Matterson towards the end of her 13 month solo camel expedition across Australia with camels she caught from the wild and trained herself.
I spend five days on the trail with Sophie (4 Episodes) as she treks along the QLD/NSW border. This is the home stretch of her 4000km+ journey from the west coast of Australia to the east coast.
Sophie and I pay our respects to the Kooma, Bigambal and Kamilaroi Aboriginal people, the traditional owners of the land we trek through.
Thank you Frank and the other locals who assist Sophie and I on this part of the trip.
You can find out more about Sophie and follow the remainder of her journey here;

Sophie will hopefully release a book and film about her trip in future so please consider following her to find out the release details.
Thank you sooooooo much Sophie for having me along!!!!!!
Please feel free to check out my other youtube videos, particularly my Surviving the Great Barrier Reef series. This was the dugout canoe expedition that I was on my way back from when I filmed this trip with Sophie. The canoe build and pre-departure video’s are already up and I’m about to start editing the actual expedition footage. It was epic and the hardest expedition I've done.

I like Sophie she's figured it out, and what I mean by that is, she learned not to be in a rush, she takes life in and enjoys the journey. Love it. Its the only way to live.

Thanks. Yes. I was following her too and got in contact with her through a mutual friend so it was a spin out to be actually out there on the track with her. It was a fantastic 5 days.

Great second episode Mike. What camera gear did you take with you for the trek with Sophie?
@OutbackMike
@OutbackMike 2 роки тому
I had all the stuff I took on the canoe trip because I was on the way home from it when I met Sophie. My main camera was a Sony A7siii which also did the slomo stuff, plus a Mavic Air 2 and GoPro 9 (this did a great job on the star lapse. There’s a new night lapse setting which lets you set 1600 iso which is twice as good as the previous 800 iso limit). I also recorded some audio with a Zoom H1n.

Sophie will keep them for ever and keep doing trips with them. She just did this interview with Australian Geographic after finishing her trip. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/talking-australia/id1464668928?i=1000547387732
