Shauno and Graham Cahill push a brand-new track through the Kimberley to reach a remote beach no 4WD has ever touched — until unseasonal rain floods the Oombi and buries them in the mud. The Kimberley is Australia's last great wilderness, and the mission's clear: cut a track to a secret beach where no 4WD has ever been. It doesn't stay simple. Weeks of low range through croc country turn brutal when the rain hits — deep mud, back-to-back bogs and flooding rain in the wildest country on the planet. Every 4WD bogged, hundreds of winches, and a coast that keeps slipping further out of reach. Can we open a new track to the Kimberley coast, or does the mud get the better of us? Part 1 of a two-part Kimberley mission — Part 2 drops soon.

great to see Graham and Shauno together in an episode. it’s been a while with the Offgrid separation.
Weird seeing the boys doing the Oombulgurri track without the legendary Ronnie
The narration of this episode has been so much better than anything in the last few months. We'll done guys.
Am I the only one that’s been refreshing my feed waiting for this 😂
We've missed Tim with his big grin and laughter. Love your attitude mate 🤘
Sat down with a plate full of food and this came up. Perfect!!!
Finally an hr plus episode for ya Thursday night!
Watching from KENYA EAST AFRICA.
🔧 Have you ever been more stuck? Drop it below
You know its gonna be a legendary episode when Shauno and Graham get together!!
This is what your viewers are wanting guys. Keep it up
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what we’ve been waiting for 🎉
Great video..Easily the best 4WD channel on YouTube
Finally a trip with all the OG's. Sending love from old South Wales (UK)
Yes!!! love these episodes. Its like a challenge video without all the fake planned nonsense. Tonight's viewing is sorted!
2km of driving and still the best episode in ages.
Frigging amazing there was not any recovery boards/MaxTrax on such a remote region trip like this.
"whats your plan of attack?" Tim: "I have a plan. Attack"
How fun it would be to transport my second Gen. Xterra to Australia and go wheeling with these guys. I've never eaten or caught a Baramundi but I'm definitely interested in trying it. Also, experiencing a hunt with Birdie would be an amazing experience for an American who loves to hunt. These guys are the reason I started wheeling. The only problem is no one told me the cheap part is buying the 4WD. It's a labor of love, though
One of the best in a while! These episodes, with unpredictable weather / heavy rain, are the most genuine and entertaining.
