Overlanding in Oregon was simply a delight! This is one of the four different places that I camped in the beautiful Ochoco National Forest in Oregon. This particular spot was just off of the National Forest Development Road 41, one of the main roads in the Ochoco National Forest in the state of Oregon (United States).
I met several wonderful people while I was in this national forest and I now call them good friends. At this particular campsite, I met Mitchel Seals. He camped a night with me and we made some videos for my YouTube chanel (OverLandScapes).
Later, I hiked through the forest seeking a spring of water that found on GAIA GPS and I came across another camping spot that was more secluded and out of the way... but either hiking there or coming back, I lost my cell phone in the forest's undergrowth. After many fruitless hikes back and forth and even enduring a rain shower, I finally found it nearly 24 hours later. It was lying on the ground face up... and barely had power.
Then, I drove in a big loop to the new site I had found. It was there that I met Gary and Jill Miller. Gary had been a BLM ranger in the Steens and he encouraged me to go to the mountain to take pictures. He actually met me there and showed me around the mountain. Their son, Nick, who is now serving as a BLM ranger, had an up-close and personal encounter with a large male cougar. Nick is lucky to be alive. There is a video on my channel where he talks about this dangerous encounter and how he survived.

The Jeepster is an automobile originally produced by Willys-Overland Motors from 1948 to 1950. It was developed in hopes of filling a gap in the company's product line, crossing over from their "utilitarian" proto SUVs and trucks to the passenger automobile market. The basic model included numerous deluxe features and interior fittings in addition to a high level of standard equipment that cost extra on other automobiles. A total of almost 20,000 were manufactured.

The Overland Track is an Australian bushwalking track, traversing Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It's walked by more than nine thousand people each year, with numbers limited in the warmer months.
Officially the track runs for 65 kilometres (40 mi) from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair however many choose to extend it by walking along Lake St Clair for an extra day, bringing it to 82 kilometres (51 mi).
It winds through terrain ranging from glacial mountains, temperate rainforest, wild rivers and alpine plains.
Our last bush camp in Bolivia before crossing over to Argentina. We were traveling with Oasis overland.
Indian Pacific liveried NR26 works 5MA8 Overland service from Melbourne to Adelaide on Thursday afternoon on 29-11-07.
Four of Pacific National's GE powered NR class were painted into this scheme and later NR18 into a newer scheme. Later all would receive repaints and a simplified Indian Pacific scheme would be applied
It might be just my imagination, but I think I can see letters painted on the old stonework. Amgourie tea?
The overnight Melbourne to Adelaide sleeper catches some early morning light as it climbs the grade out of Callington, South Australia, approximately 90 minutes from its destination.
At this time the train was jointly operated by the federally owned Australian National and the Victorian state owned V/Line - V/Line EMD X51 is leading AN Alco 934 on 11 October 1987.
Back then it ran overnight in each direction. Today it is privately run (with government subsidy) and only a daylight run twice a week, rarely loading to more than 6 cars.

The Overland Track is one of Australia's most famous bush treks, situated in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania. More than 8000 walkers each year complete the track. Officially, the track runs for 65 km from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair. However, many choose to add the hike along Lake St Clair as a natural extension, bringing the length to 82 km. The track winds through terrain ranging from sheer mountains, temperate rainforest, wild rivers and alpine plains all in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
Aside from the main track there are also several alternative side tracks, including to the summits of Cradle Mountain and Mount Ossa, the tallest mountain in Tasmania. Also within reach are a group of tarns called The Labyrinth and Lake St Clair (the deepest lake in Australia). Walkers complete the trail in 5–6 days. This is normally done from north to south, which is the mandatory direction between 1 October and 31 May.
The landscape was all carved by glaciers during the last ice age, and the prominent mountains are composed of dolerite columns. The climate is generally unstable, with temperatures ranging from hot (35+°C) in summer to below zero in winter. Snow can fall at anytime and is common during the winter, especially on the Cradle Mountain Plateau and around Mount Ossa. Rain is very common, sometimes torrential though often settling to days of drizzle.
The most common fauna are Tasmanian Pademelons (native), possums and small rodents most of which are native. Also decidedly present, but not necessarily seen, are quolls, echidnas, tasmanian devils and wombats. There are also the famous Tasmanian leeches. The trail traverses areas of many types of vegetation, including Myrtle Beech forest, Eucalypts forest, Button Grass plains (swamps), alpine herb fields and shrubs and mosses.

I walked the Overland Track - solo - in May, which means autumn period in Tasmania. And got it all: sunshine, rain, lots of snow, and sunshine again. It was a mysterious adventure on the opposite side of the Earth.
For those who are interested, the itinerary was as follows: Ronny Creek -> Waterfall Valley -> Old Pelion -> Du Cane Hut -> Pine Valley (two nights) -> Echo Point -> Lake St. Clair.
During the third (rainy and a bit snowy) day, I hiked from the Old Pelion hut across the Pelion Gap pass to another old cabin called Du Cane hut where I stayed overnight.

Sporting it's new colours is NR31, making it's way into Melbourne as The Overland 6AM8. Seen here approaching Francis Street, Brooklyn.
The interstate passenger train 'The Overland' is yet again in trouble, after the operator Journey Beyond Rail Journeys is expected to cease service with the Adelaide-Melbourne passenger train. The 127 year old service The Overland is expected to be ceased by the end of the year, after the Victorian Government has been funding the service 100% with no financial support from from the South Australian Liberal party or the Commonwealth Government.
Although, one window closes as another opens.
NR31 is wearing it's distinctive new orange colour scheme, for JBR's nearing service 'Great Southern', which is a new service kicking off in a months time between Brisbane and Adelaide.

This seems like a fun idea, until you remember there's not much room to pack stuff you need for an extended camping trip.

This was taken on our first morning of the Overland Track last week. I got up nice and early to a thick heavy fog and ran down to Lake Windermere snapping away at the still perfect reflections in the water. I managed to make my way back to our tent site after I got a few decent shots to cook breakfast and start packing up. I peered over my tent and noticed the fog was lifting and I could see Barn Bluff stretching out to the sky. I grabbed my gear and took 10 paces from my tent to this location. Button grass is truly amazing in the right light so I used the opportunity to capture the strange balls of grass in the foreground while the sun hit the side of Barn Bluff at the perfect angle. What a morning!
