FNQ Finale - Reef Snorkeling
The final stage of our travels included some relaxation time, but we got in some action with our snorkelling trip to the outer reef. a boat cruse out and about 5-6 hours of snorkelling in outstanding conditions. Calm seas, a beautiful sunny day and great clear waters. We saw many, many different fish, coral gardens, and a shark passed by. But I was a bit disappointed that I missed the sea turtle that Margaret was able to swim alongside. A fantastic finale to our tour.

Our winter tour of the far north - Cairns, the Daintree and the Atherton Tablelands, including the western savannah country. Leaving Innot Hot Springs we followed the main Savannah Way with a tailwind to Mount Garnet. Chatting and lingering in town made us late on our planned ride to California Creek, so we camped in town. This was lucky as it rained heavily overnight and into next morning. We ...

Our winter tour of the far north - Cairns, the Daintree and the Atherton Tablelands, including the western savannah country. We continue north to the Daintree River for some croc-spotting, then once across the river we get the full Wet Season experience... but in 'The Dry'.

Love this thank you, we have ridden from Bairnsdale to Bumberrah - going to tackle from there onwards on Thursday- was a bit worried about the descents but this gives me hope! Haha
Impressive! Very cool stuff. Thanks for sharing
Did you encounter swooping magpies?
Only one I think, on the stretch near 9:11. Too windy for them.
Lovely video. You live in Central Vic, I live in the Goulburn Valley and we are both lead to believe we live in a Temperate Climate...but a trip to the Daintree soon makes one realize we live in a Desert does it not!?
Ugh-! Lousy roads!! Wouldn't go on them in my car, let alone touring bikes! Great video though proves Kanga Isle isn't always blue sky, gentle breezes and ripped 'roos!!
The roads were actually in very good condition and great to ride. Limestone-topped hard cap, fast rolling. Much improved from what they were in 2009. We have often had blue skies in September, but also rain and most often strong winds as well.
Great Vic is going that way Saturday 25th Nov .Orbost to Wanthaggi..Thanks for sharing....😊.I thought the music for the first trestle bridge was most appropriate....
roads should be wider
im just listening balucha water is contaminated its true??
Not at all 🤔
What bikes are you riding . Always interesting to see the machines . Thanks for mvidios . 12th October 2023
My wife has a Giant Sedona '93 MTB frame, converted for touring. Mine is a Thorn Nomad Mk2 expedition touring bike. Both are running Rohloff 14-speed gear-hubs.
hope no cows hit u
We saw no cattle at all on this stretch. It was the earlier section (3 days prior) through Glen Gordon Station that had wandering cattle, but they always just ran away.
NONE??????? thats a real crazzzzzzzy thing peter
@@petesig93 WHAT?! I always thought Far North Queensland was well known for their Cattle! That's Astonishing mate

nice job peter signorini :)
Good to see my old work place from the late 70s, the Ranfurly Station.
💦 P R O M O S M
That looks like a great short cut ... with the right bike. Cheers and thanks for sharing ;<)
The video. does not show just how steep it was. But it would be good (still hard) with any lighter weight bike #gravelbike #bikepacking
At 6.40 the plant is the Orange Trumpet Vine from South America. Grows pretty well along the west coast too, too much frost in Vic though.
Thanks for the info. Just another garden escapee. 'They all ran wild'
I really liked seeing your perspective from a bike - just came back from a trip there - went to Atherton, Daintree and Mossman too :)
Busy country roads with no shoulder suck, some nice views though.
Yep, this one was particularly BAD as it is the only road north to Port Douglas and Cooktown, and it was prime tourist season - Dry season and school holidays.
The real reason that there were no trees is that the Murrays burnt down the Bush to hunt for the moa.
You are correct, but not entirely. Europeans have also destroyed vast swathes, in a much shorter time-span. "When Māori arrived, about 1250-1300 CE, they burnt large tracts of forest, mainly on the coasts and eastern sides of the two main islands. By the time European settlement began, around 1840, some 6.7 million hectares of forest had been destroyed and replaced by short grassland, shrubland and fern land. Between 1840 and 2000, another 8 million hectares was cleared, mostly lowland or easily accessible conifer-broadleaf forest". teara.govt.nz/en/interactive/11674/deforestation-of-new-zealand
Wassup Mr Signorini great content cant wait for more 🎉
I notice on the jetboat there's an empty seat.Had the passenger fallen out?
🙅♂️🤣🚤. Nup, just a vacant seat I believe.
Take heart, Van Gogh never sold a painting in his lifetime, you're work will be recognised.
Hi, I live in Scotland. What is going on when people in Western Australia are not looking at you're super stuff, about riding about Australasia. Lots of people out there and here just dont know what they are missing. Keep up the good work, its only a matter of time. My sister went to Australia in 1967, she came back for six months, early 70's, made the right decision and went home to Australia, she is still there with three grown children. God bless you all.
Sweeeeet
Nice to meet you here mate ! It's great to watch your films ! 😉👍
Hey, thanks! 🚵🏻
Stunning road
That looked awesome :)
I rode that as a kid
Super tour, truly spectacular. Thanks for the work you put into this travelogue.
Thank you very much!
Super film, sure would like to get my bike on a plane to NZ.
Thanks. Yes the South Island is great, with generally very low traffic especially in Southland. We've been three times.
Very informative mate.. Keep up the good work.. Had to google when you mentioned you were further south than Tassie..
Cool, thanks
Hey there, three of us biked the Hakataramea from Kurow two weeks ago in sunny hot weather. We turned right on the other side in the McKenzie Basin, and then headed back over McKenzie Pass to a place called Cricklewoood near Fairlie, making it a big day, part of a 13 day Bluff to Nelson tour. We had to be careful hooning on the downhills in gravel, and one of our party took a fall a few days later ultimately needing 4 stitches in his left arm before riding Hanmer to Rainbow Valley. We saw 3 dead wallabies on the roadside while riding the Haka, presumably shot by farmers coming across them on the road at night. It is very big country out there!
On a future tour I would love to ride the Rainbow Track and/or the Molesworth Station Track.
@@petesig93 The Hanmer-Rainbow-St Arnaud ride was fabulous, a big day but only half the length of Molesworth and a lot more scenic and interesting, according to 3 groups I talked to. There's just the rivers (Clarence then Wairau), mountains, no trees or buildings and only the gravel road and power pylons (it's the corridor for the Nelson/Buller transmission lines, built in the 1950s). Definitely a summer-only ride, as Island Saddle at the halfway point is impassable in winter.
Stunning scenery!
Yes, it was Randy, but the next stage on the 'Round the Mountains Trail' was even better!
👍🙏
Nice !
cool party
One of my favourite regions of Victoria.
That looked like it had a little bit of everything in it 👍
nice bike ride ,I like the videos
That looked fun :)
Thanks. Yes, it is a great way to get out and explore the city with friends.
I use to live there, no not in the lake, silly...beside it...its a beautiful suburb.
I go ride to blind Creek/ next to the trail to get to a friends house
As a person that likes rain, looks like an awesome ride! Great seeing some familiar faces too.
Great seeing the above aeriel view of the Cerberus....gives a far better idea of her scale.
Great pan keeping the train in shot...whats the range, how far could you have followed the train before the signal would have dropped out?
The range is no great limit (in open country it can go to about 7-10km I believe). The main limiting factor here was the forest of trees and the legal requirement for VLOS, not to mention that I do not want to lose the drone.
I am getting steadily better at the panning as well. Fairly happy with the control.
This is really entertaining Peter, now I'm curious to see how you work in drone footage in the future....
Expedition to parts near Castlemaine for a special shoot focusing on some historical sites is planned for the near future. DJI RC Pro controller arriving tomorrow to improve flight functionality 👍
0:43 - exercise routine is hysterical!
Enjoy every day! We only know what we have when it's gone. Keep well guys. Nothing as good as being free on those bikes
