A fantastic video, except for the “South Australia” bit.
I just can’t figure out how he could drive his ute along some pretty ordinary roads and still have it look reasonably clean. When I had my utes, I’d only have to be within 5 km of a dirt road and I’d need to spend three hours detailing them.

Those roads and the Prairie Hotel and tracks out of Parachilna bring back some memories.
