SERIOUSLY SERIES - Road TO RUIN
The second season of Seriously Series will be tackling The Canning Stock Route, it is the world’s longest stock route and it constitutes some 2,000kms.
This harsh trail begins at the small outback outpost of Wiluna and stretches into the desert (crossing some four deserts in total) and ends in the tropics at the small hamlet of Halls Creek on the edge on the Kimberley.
In between there are no forms of civilization on the trail, no pubs, no towns and not even a Starbucks.
In order to experience and survive in this harsh, hard environment there is the need for a vehicle which can handle the terrain ( a modified 1975 Land Rover 88inch (SWB, Series 3) along with the right four wheel drive accessories and equipment, and most important knowing how to use them and get the most out of them.
The 2,000kms offers one of the most extreme and extensive testing grounds for any four wheel drive accessory, with corrugations so intense they can rattle any vehicle with the wrong aftermarket suspension system to pieces.
The team at Seriously Series intend to exploration this subject matter mentioned above and much, much more. Delving in to further subject areas of geology, geography, navigation, vehicle maintenance/bush mechanics and bushcraft.
The aim is to give the viewer and understanding of the environment in this unique part of the world and how to survive or co-exist in it. Furthermore achieving this in an older vehicle will highlight that you don’t need the latest and greatest to see Australia.
