    Sorry guys, but this time Hunter has completely stolen the scene! The ginger beer, the lemon faces, I'm still laughing!!! Now I can go on watching the rest of the video. Maybe with some additional comment later? I hope!!!
    And now for the additional comments: Yes definitely Hunter is the most adorable, funny and gorgeous show stealer ever. And, please, how beautiful, amazing and breathtaking is Australia? Love you all. Stay safe.

    @maddiem7934 Před 2 lety

    a great tip for when I went around australia with my fam: -Sit down and plan your month (book places to stay, fuel stops, and write down dinners that you will be eating to make sure you have ingredients incase you cant access them)- it doesnt have to be a month it could be fortnightly but the longer in advance the better so you get into caravan parks- especially the popular ones! I know this can be challenging with COVID and its unpredictability but it will hopefully make things easier for you in long run!
