Exploring Crowdy Bay National Park with Woolgoolgaoffroad

Kwiambal National Park in the north of NSW is only 9200 hectares and is the traditional country of the Kwiambal people, who have descended from the Murri people of the north west that have lived in the area for thousands of years.

I was having a quiet beer at the iconic Hebel pub, on the NSW QLD border 700km west of Brisbane thinking what a remote and isolated place this is. But back in the day it was a hive of activity with bushrangers, Cobb and Co stopover plus a border crossing customs office.

Georgetown in the gulf of Carpenteria is a quiet town these days with tourists passing through in the cooler months and large cattle stations surrounding the town, but it was once the site of a gold rush and played an important part with an overland telegraph station that provided crucial information to Cape York especially during critical times like WW11. I’ve stayed in Georgetown a few times and found it a great base to setup and explore the surrounding area.

Many people consider Coffs Harbour the 4wd capital of NSW, but there’s a more quieter and beautiful side away from the hardcore tracks, insane mud holes and hillclimbs that go on forever.

I can’t believe its taken us over 30 years to actually get to K’gari Island to discover its inner beauty and explore the islands amazing history and stunning scenery. Realistically, I think I’ve been avoiding the island because I thought there would be massive crowds and a lot of sand recoveries across the island, but boy was I wrong.

Now I don't claim to be a videographer; I'm really just a muppet who plays around with photography and phone videos. This is how I see it through my eyes. I don't have the time to stop and film on a professional level, and to be honest, every second person is doing it, trying to make a buck or two. 10 Adventure Videos that'll Inspire Your Outdoor Quest with Woolgoolgaoffroad. #Woolgoolgaoffroad So I'll keep playing with music and short clips to keep me happy. Short and sweet
