All 4 Adventure

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.
