Opal fields, a rodeo and a dinosaur question: Graham Cahill's Winton run takes off

The eight-day Off-Grid episode through Queensland's Channel Country is also a goodbye, and the comments are full of good wishes for the two travelers leaving the convoy.

2,000km & 8 Days 4WDing Through Outback Australia's Real Cowboy Country!

Has Graham Cahill found a 100-million-year-old dinosaur tooth, or just a rock? The newest full episode on 4WD 24-7 asks that question in its opening minutes, and it took about 140,000 people only 20 hours to start looking for the answer. That is roughly eleven times a usual first day for one of the channel's videos.

The episode is a long gravel run, 2,000 kilometers over eight days, through Queensland's Channel Country. The road ends in Winton, the town that gave Australia Waltzing Matilda. Along the way the Off-Grid crew stops at the opal fields of Opalton, where a jewel and Graham's fossil both get a closer look. They also watch a sunset from a station helicopter, visit a working cattle station and end up at the Stonehenge rodeo. The shorts posted earlier in the week served as the trailer: demolition derby cars for sale at an outback show, and a flooded crossing so deep the four-wheel drives had to push each other through.

There is a quieter thread too. One chapter is simply called "B&J Say Farewell," and many of the most-liked comments wish Bianca and Jordan well. Some longtime viewers think back to the earlier pair, Harley and Steph, and wonder how anyone follows them.

Others are busy with smaller things. Graham's childhood camp meal, Hi Li Min, has one viewer saying their family called it chow mein. A pun about not taking the rock for granite is collecting likes, and one well-liked request asks for a practical guide to multi-week trips, from water to batteries.
