Caves To Caves Trek - A 4x4 Camping Adventure From Wombeyan To Jenolan In The Landcruisers
In this video me and my friend Mitch travel from Wombeyan Caves to Jenolan Caves in our 4WD 90 series Prado's. The weather was pretty average but it made for some interesting driving conditions and deeper river crossings. Had a few sound issues due to a new mic I bought. Luckily I still had enough footage to make the video but a lot of the talking sections I had to edit out unfortunately.
