THIS WEEK ON ALL 4 ADVENTURE…

As Series 12 wraps up, Jase and Simon head to some familiar ground — the salt pans of Lorella Springs. The last time they were in this area, it almost ended in disaster with Simon rolling his truck while trying to recover Jase’s very stuck vehicle. This time Jase has a new plan to get out there by following the river beds, so they head out and are met with some very soft sand.

That’s not the only challenge they’ll need to face, as Simon discovers he’s run out of coffee. With the prospect of facing 3-5 days before they’re back to town, he’s not a very happy camper. But Jase has an idea of how to put a smile back on his dial, and he makes a little pocket change in the process. It’s service with a smile as he serves up coffee with a slice of Simon’s Hundred Dollar Cake.

As they get moving, they find themselves in another sticky situation where the track gets soft and the sinking begins. They leapfrog through the boggy areas and mud pits, but it becomes clear that it’s the end of the road for the big vehicles. The buggy is going to have to make the rest of the trek towing the tinny.

Their efforts are rewarded with fishing offshore and in the creek where they pick up trout, flathead, stripey, jack, blue salmon, and diamond trevally before a shark puts and end to the fun. And fun they had in this season that was threatened to be cancelled. But even a worldwide lockdown wasn’t going to hold back these adventurers the moment they were able to Escape to the North.
