At this point, you know Cheveyo has grown to love the big things but is not willing to admit it
Haha, he’s fighting hard not to admit it! 😂
Nah, he's just committed to loving his small and adorable but larger than life best friend.
Yeh he puts on a good ‘hate it’ face, but co’n mate we know…
Jesus loves you so soooo much ❤️
@@L17_8 Then where is He? I don’t follow a god that causes, promotes and laughs in the face of misery. You doofus…. 🤦♂️ … and now back to your regular program.
You may not have seen a croc in the wild… but they’ve seen you.
And they are bigger than that "baby" you saw with boxing gloves !
Cheveyo!
We all see through your feigned indignation at the
Big Things... this woman is beyond adorable and you Love her with all your Heart, so hence, anything that makes her Happy, is just fine with you... Admit it! 😄
I'm not even 15 seconds in and that look on Cheveyo's face tells me ONE THING!!! We are about to see a BIG thing!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Someone needs to make a compilation of Tia and the big things and Cheveo getting progressively more defeated 😂😂😂
The expression on Cheveyo’s face anytime he talks about Australia feels both mystical and also proof of quantum entanglement. So many of us would love it if they continued the exploration of Country for another twenty years or so, no matter how long to short their stay ends up being there will always be a piece of their souls here and we are so lucky to have seen Oz through their eyes.
Cheveyo your disdain for all the bigs things and Tia’s delight is just so funny! 🤣🥰
Cheveyo needs to flip it and start obsessing about Australia's smallest things.
Kakadu is probably one of the most awesome places on the planet, and your response echoed mine. The place is so warm, so genuinely wild, so saturated with colour, so alive with creatures, with the faintest carboniferous smell. If a dinosaur walked out in front of you, it would seem completely unsurprising. I guess the crocs represent them.
I was first there when it was not yet well known, while training some people at Ranger Uranium for a few weeks. I had a free weekend and asked people where I should go. Virtually all said things like, "you have to go to Ubirr, it will change how you see everything'. It seemed such an odd thing to say.
The moment came when I knew what they meant. Walking past such ancient rock art, then standing on top of that rocky outcrop and looking out over that vista you shared gave me the strangest of feelings. The iridescent green, the big rocks sticking out like unlikely icebergs. The smoke drifting up from the seasonally natural fires. Bids cavorting overhead, and the occasional animal moving across the wetlands.
But much more than that, you realise you are looking at a scene that has been gazed upon for millennia, by thousands of generations of people. You can almost hear the people's voices and the laughter of their children. And sometimes some of the locals are still there doing exactly that. For all that it's not just a First Nations thing, its gives an intense sensation of a common shared humanity, and how insignificant yet precious your own little life is in the grand scheme of things.
I don't know any other place in the world that has that.
Thank you for such an evocative description. It made Kakadu come alive for me. Hope to visit it one day soon ♥
Sounds like a novel, it's long enough to be a novel. It must have taken hours to write or maybe it was cut, copy and pasted LOL
@@steveth1000 Nah. Just a natural tendency to run off at the mouth.
Agree completely. Was going to write the same thing about cheveyos reaction and my own, but you said it best!
You two young people are have crossed the threshold. You are both sensing the spirituality of this ancient land and now realize how powerful it is, rare for visitors. You are expressing it in a profoundly beautiful way as you succumbed to allowing the natural rythm of the land to take hold, that's the hidden key of a true Australian experience. Now you will understand what we as Australian's mean when we say this land is special. Having now tuned in to what we feel you will understand why we have a very different attitude to freedom and what it means to the spirit of our sovereign nation. True blue Australians culturally are not Europeans, nor Asian, nor American's, we have our own culture and it's very special in this troubled world. Peace and prosperity to all.
Does that come with a soundtrack?
As an American (TEXAS), “One Pack Wanderers” inspire me to travel Australia….one of the few countries I have a desire to visit….Japan and Scotland are definitely included.
Come on down buddy. You will have a great time.
We would love to have you. Pack your bags and come on down
Get to it. We'd love to see you.
Why so few? There are so many good countries
Come on over Ed. You are most welcome. Long journey but worth it.
Cheveyo talking about editing a video in a hot tent and saying "nuh". He is one of us! Proud parent moment right there.
Did you notice Tia's very natural use of the word "tradie". The integration is almost complete. ^^
@@goulash75 I did. We are slowly converting them.
I approve the hats. Good job.
WHAT?!?!? No Akubra?
@@gbsailing9436. Too expensive
I hear you mate. We stood at the top of Oenpelli and looked out at a similar view. There is only 2 times in my life that I almost believed in a greater being and being at peace with everything, that was one and landing in a float plane on the Gordon River at sunset, with the shadows and mist on the river........Speechless
Screw palm (Pandanus spiralis) is Kakadu’s most common pandanus species. These pods turn bright orange as they ripen and are a favourite food of sulphur-crested cockatoos. The tree’s large clusters of woody nuts contain seeds that can be eaten raw or roasted. variouse parts of the plant have medicinal values.
Thanks for that reply, I was wondering about it too.
I know what you mean when you speak of Australia feeling "magical". There is something truly sacred about our landscape. It hums with an ancient tone. It is this very thing that makes me most proud to be Australian, that I live amongst this sacredness and feel a constant connection to that resonance. I get to be a part of it and call it home.
word
Most paintings are signposts that tell others what food is available in certain areas. Stencil of an axe indicates the availability of native honey. A boomerang means birds. Like ducks. A Hand stencil indicates water.
Barra fishing. The crocs are waiting to pinch the fish😊
Lemon ,lime and bitters
Cheveyo, you know Aussies are united behind Tia when it comes to Big Things, so you're on your own 😂 Glad you're seeing some of the amazing Aboriginal cave art & so much of our Great Southern Land 😊
One of the best. Not just the scenery, but also the storytelling. Thank you.
If you are heading to Port Augusta consider a detour to Lake Gairdner - a dry salt lake 160 x 50 km that is incredibly scenic. Unlike other dry salt lakes, it is surrounded by rust red hills which makes it great for photography including drones. Take a hike out on the surface and it's like being on another planet. You can stay at Mt Ive Station with facilities or free camp at Waltumba Tank Campground.
The reverance Tia and Cheveyo hold for the Australian land, T's awe over the paintings, the way C has such a deep connection and respect for these old Aboriginal places makes me tear up a little. Every member of my family is well travelled throughout Australia. I've never been interested, but instead I've always headed overseas. These videos have completely changed my perspective on travelling in Australia so a very sincere thank you goes out to T & C. 🥰 And regarding the word Billabong, have you guys heard Waltzing Matilda or read any of Banjo Patterson's work?
The look on Cheveyo’s face at the Big Boxing Croc - priceless!
Tia’s new hat looks great!
Respect for the respect you show for the land and Indigenous culture and history!
It’s also turning out to be the Australian sunset tour - can never see enough sunsets!
The Big Boxing Crocodile is probably my new favourite big thing
5 second rule...must be a universal thing
?
You drop it but if you pick it up in 5 seconds, it's fine to use/eat
@@bomartin6274Bacteria can contaminate food in a micro second
I think it originated from Genghis Khan. Or so Google says. You’re welcome :)
I am a retired Interstate Truckie and my "go to drink" is still unsweetened Hot Black Tea. Otherwise, I would drink water. Staying somewhere overnight, I did like my beer, though. Really enjoying your enthusiasm and respect for our country.
I think that this is the best video you have done in Australia (so far) - it has everything, humour, spectacular scenery, education, wildlife, bird noises, a big thing, Tia for scale, rock paintings, reference to Aldi (I am sure there is a sponsorship deal in the works) and great drone shots! Loving it.
And it’s got a sunset too!
Aldi sponsor huh huh 😂they dont even pack your items
Congratulations on 80+k subscribers 🎉
We’ll need a “Tia for Scale Compilation” at the end of your wanderings!
I've been to a lot of places here but never been to Kakadu. I really loved how you took the time to 'show' the sounds of Australia. I also love how you have taken time to learn Aboriginal words as you go. On that note, Tia, the way you pull out 'tradie' sounds really natural haha
Tia your childlike enthusiasm for the Big Things is so infectious. It is perfect ❤
Hi. Close, Tia. Very close actually. Billabong is a hole in a river that is left behind when a river itself is seasonal (wet and dry) and dries in the dry season leaving it behind. It can also apply to an ox bow cut off through the same seasonal/climatic process. Nice Vid. Cool part of the country. Glad you're enjoying it.
of course all kids know (or used to know) "Waltzing Matilda" as a kid....plenty of billabong in that one.
@@robertthomson2159 And jumbucks, Rob. Don't forget the jumbucks! 😅
@@Shilo-fc3xm gotta love those jumbucks!
@@robertthomson2159 Well, they are Jolly, mate.
Another wonderful and fascinating CZcams posting. You both have a "down to earth" understanding of what's so special about Australia.I can't stop watching your posts and even sometimes go back to "re-live" some of your Aussie Adventures. You have captured Australian landscapes so amazingly well with your photography truly OUTSTANDING.It's such a joy to view your travels and listen to your heartfelt words.You both have done Australia very proud.Thank-you so much 👍😁..P.S...Love the hat, Tia !
I am not a religious or spiritual person, but in Kakadu I felt like everything was humming, the air even, I felt sprits of the earth and first Australians there, never felt anything like it anywhere else
Cheveyo, you’re getting good at the accent, keep it up! I want to hear you do it for an entire video!
Comero for the uninitiated references Holden Commodore being replaced by the Chevrolet Camero after GM closed down Holden in Australia as the Camero replaced the Commodore but they're basically the same specs of car model... hence old mate's Comero number plate
I get it now 😂👋🇳🇿
It could also be that 'CAMARO' has already been allocated to another vehicle, so this person just went with the next thing.
It’s a CAMARO
@@sheerluckholmes5468 this is Australia, you obviously don't understand Aussie humour
@@koyote2e511 obviously you don't understand Aussie humour
You guys have given us some great videos on this wide brown land,
but this one is one of your best, if not the best! Well done.
Wow! After seeing in the news that a 12 year old girl was killed by a croc just recently in NT, it amazes me seeing those people just calmly fishing right at the water’s edge!! 7:43
You two be careful ay , don’t be like the others tempting fate to be croc dinner , zoom lens footage is just fine 👌, stay safe !
I saw video yesterday of a Florida lady knee deep in the river hand feeding a very large gator from about 2 feet away 😬, what could possibly go wrong ?
Edit : I like your hats😊.
Omg I love those hats, super cute!
My go to drink while driving is water and bubble tea ❤
Enjoyed your video once again! Until next time! Keep it up!
👍fantastic footage by fantastic people ❤🇦🇺
Billabong: As a river meanders across the land, it comes up against rocks and trees that change its course. Consequently the rivers form lots of U bends. Over time, the flow of water increases and the neck of the U shape is eroded through, altering the river’s path so it’s straighter, leaving the U shape cut off and it forms a pond or a Billabong.
They are called oxbow lakes in other parts of the world.
Keep knocking it out of the park guys.
Your videos get better and better.
My favourite drink when traveling through the Outback is fresh brewed, hot billy tea. The billy is a large tin can fitted a fence wire handle. A small fire on the ground, or a gas burner, depending on conditions. Put the billy on until it boils. Add loose leaf tea, and after a couple of minutes give it a good stir. I would then pour the hot tea into a mug through a tea strainer, add a heaped spoon of sugar, stir and drink. Aussie folklore dictates that instead of using a strainer, you swing the billy of hot tea in a vertical circle to force the tea leaves to the bottom of the billy. But I have an aversion to second degree burns. And hot tea, even in hot weather, works for me.
You really showed the magic of Kakadu, and your respect for First Nation's artefacts is commendable.
I'm in Belgium at the moment and missing the sounds and sights of home and also from when we toured Kakadu.
Did you see the Thai cafe near Cahills Crossing (is it still existing)?
Travelling tips for going south.
Maybe you're on your way to Kings Canyon via the Mareenie Loop road by now? Check out Ormiston Gorge or Palm Valley on the way (depending on the route you take.)
I suggest going down the Oodnadatta Track after Marla on the Stuart Hwy. Accommodation/camping at Oodnadatta, William Creek, Coward Springs, Maree, Leigh Creek.
Do a side trip to Kati Thanda (Lake Eyre), camping available and a real Luna(r) landscape.
Then head into the Flinders Ranges via Brachina Gorge (camping). It's a geological time trail going back billions of years. Check out Wilpena Pound, and you're on your way to Port Augusta.
Safe travelling.
Something interesting about Kakadu. There always seemed to be a fire nearby. What I learnt is that the Wedge Tail Eagle, which is prevalent in the NT, will pick up sticks from fires and drop them somewhere else so that it will drive out prey animals. I've seen plenty of Wedge Tail's above fire fronts looking for for their next meal.
Actually, this behaviour is more commonly seen from Black Kites, Whistling Kites and Brown Falcons, to the extent that these are colloquially known as Fire Hawks. Black and Whistling Kites are also far more common than Wedgies. As far as I know, Wedgies are not known for this behaviour.
Love the look on ceveyo when he's in the present of a big thing 😂
My go to, road trip drink is Dare Espresso Iced Coffee - yep I'm an Aussie lol .
I'm thrilled that you guys have made it to Kakadu, to see, experience and feel the magic of Australia. Chev, you're 100% correct, there is nowhere else that I've been to, that you get the feeling of being attached to the ancient past, like you feel here. Thank you both for appreciating and understanding where you are, and show casing our amazing country to the world, in such a respectful and meaningful way. To share your journey and beautiful video's with those who won't get the opportunity to experience Australia for themselves, is a wonderful gift you're sharing. You guys rock, and we love you to bits for everything you've done here in this amazingly beautiful and magical land, that is Australia xxx
You really nailed this video. Its a beauty. At last proper head wear, now we just have to work on the foot wear. Love your respect for our country.
I was camping at Yulara, and I was checking out a crow who landed on a guy rope of tent next door, on that rope, the people had tied a plastic bag full of plastic clothes pegs. The crow was curious about what was in the bag, poking his beak and taking a peg out of the bag and dropping it to the ground, l watched him take out all pegs and drop them to the ground. People came back to camp, scratching their heads why they the bag was empty 😂.
Always wonderful to hear your perspectives of this country. And see the joy that Tia gets from the big things. One of your best videos yet. Thank you and safe travels!
(Oh, and go-to drink on the road? Bundaberg Ginger Beer!)
Great work you two. Showcasing this beautiful ancient land. Nice cold water for me in between coffees.
From experience , crocs are a potential problem anywhere north of Onslow/Tennant Creek/Townsville . As long as you know, you will be fine. The commercial croc tour at Adelaide River is well worth the effort. Some big ones very close.
I’m sure the crocs feel the same way about us. After all they were here long before us.🤣🤣🤣
Hi kids. You don’t normally see the crocs in the wild unless they need to sunbake to elevate their body temperature. They are ‘ambush predators’ - so they observe the place where animals frequent at waters edge and patiently wait for the optimal moment to launch an attack. They observe behavioural patterns of prey so one should never go close to waters edge at the same place.
PS - the most dangerous ambush predator in Australia is Mick. I’m glad he didn’t get you!, 😉👍
yeah we were in the Kimberley last yer and saw no salties. We were swimming wih a freshie in a cave with us though FTW.
When ever ive travelled over seas for long periods of time, I've come to miss the sounds of Australian bird life. There's nothing like being woken up by a kookaburra.
Absofriggenlutely. I also missed the sounds of our birds, especially the kookaburras and magpies. You just don't appreciate or understand the small things, until you're not in Australia, and no longer hear the sounds that are normal for us. After being away for a year in the USA, I honestly didn't realise exactly how much I had missed it, until I got home and awoke to the beautiful sounds of our birds again. There's no other place that sounds even close to the wonderful and iconic birds we have here. We are so very spoilt in that department
For me also the smell of Eucalypts especially after a summer thunderstorm and the drone of cicadas...
"I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of drought and flooding rains, I love her far horizons, I love her jewel sea, Her beauty and her terror - The wide brown land for me". We all recited this Dorothea Mackeller poem in primary school a few decades back.
@@ylass8884 yes we did, but my memory is shot in that department lol. Well done you for remembering that 😊
@@roslynjonsson2383 I get it. I still miss the birds I grew up with in the southern USA and I've lived in Australia for 20 something years.
That East arnamland crossing is cool as. I mean kakadu is amazing! P.s. went to penguin parade last night in Vic. It's mind blowingly weird. The amount of people and the infrastructure more than the natural phenomena. Glad we saw it but once was enough. Oh man you guys make me want to quit my job and move to the bush. Enjoy the rest of your trip! Xx
We all know Cheveyo loves the big things.
We love having you guys in Australia. We need more people like you guys in this country who show appreciation for everything we have to offer. Look forward to seeing you come down the east coast, I have many suggestions for you guys that are free or budget friendly in GC/Brisbane Region. Safe Travels 🥰
Soda Water with lemon slice and ice cubes.
This beautiful ancient land has reached out to touch you both. Perhaps it is a calling my friends.
The scene where you guys are standing on the rock overlooking the grass and patches of water gives lion king vibes
Being NAIDOC week this video really highlighted to me the power and beauty of the land. I too have done some travel and agree, there is something so unique about middle Australia, specifically the inland regions where you guys are that has this sort of energy unlike anywhere else. The first nations people really looked after the land, so much so you can feel them there.
PS nearest aldi is in Townsville, if you two get a chance carnarvon gorge in central Queensland has some real incredible Rarrk paintings and where clans have come together thru their Dreamtime ceremonies (almost vision Quest like). They are true space keepers of the land, you really feel it.
Keep being the pair you are, I seriously would love for tourism Australia to promote your experiences and wisdom. The youth of today could really learn from you two 💫🍃
So glad you went to Cahill's Crossing and Ubirr Rock....I remember fishing off that spillway in knee deep water back in the day.....what was I thinking ??
But I did catch a barra there so...
Also, the view from the top of that rock is simply breathtaking and spiritual.....will stay with you forever !!
🙏🤗
Hey guys, there is an Aldi up here in Townsville in Thuringowa central if you are passing through this way
They are heading south to S.A. on way to tassie. Hi also from Townsville
Yeah I thought same thing. Aldi in Townsville now!
My fav place near Darwin- Fogg Dam.
Amazing green in the dry season !!
I loved Fogg Dam! I visited with my parents about 2007, and we were all keen birdwatchers. So many species! Magpie Geese, Brolgas, Wandering Whistling Ducks, just so many!
We love your enthusiasm for our first nations’ culture and the landscape. We love it just as much. But it’s such a shame that your time in Kakadu was so limited, there is so much to see there! (PS Our favourite place in outback SA is Arkaroola in the very northern Flinders Ranges - so far north, it’s actually the Gammon Ranges). Our go to drink while driving huge kms in the outback is Bundaberg Diet Ginger Beer. Loving the vids.
We travel in a fully equipped, self contained motor home, so our road trip drinks are the same as our home drinks💖 you are doing a great job displaying our unusual country to the world
Tia's enthusiasm for things, including the big things, makes me smile like an idiot haha. We all know you love them too, Cheveyo, lol.
While you're in Darwin check out the fuel tunnels, built to store fuel during the Japanese bombing. Those trees with the red fruit are pandanus.
Got to see those tunnels last year! Interesting history there.
Great vid guys glad you’re enjoying top special part of Aussie Ppl like yourselves show us how blessed we are
I am seriously impressed by you two and the quality of your videos. The reverance and respect you give the locations you visit (other than the big things) is inspirational. If Tourism WA, NT or Australia don't offer you a job to do this full time then they all need sacking. What you could do for tourism in the US market as well as other countries would be priceless. There's no better advertisement than some tourists being awe inspired at what they are seeing. Love your work.
Always gives me a laugh your reaction to the big things. 😂
Gotta say… some of your outdoor framing of the landscapes… absolutely dope. 👌
OS visitors freak out about the bird noises.. I cant imagine, even living in Adelaide, to not hear all our birds all day..
Any wonder why us Australians are proud of our country,thank you for showcasing the best of it.🦘🤠🔥❤️
A good trick to remember what side of the road to drive on is:
You also should be in the centre of the road in the driver's seat.
Your always in the centre of the road in the driver's seat, because the steering wheel is on the other side when you drive on the other side of the road
@Reuben-ey5di weather you drive on the left or right. If you are on the road edge in the driver's seat, you're on the wrong side.
@@Alunticstalkedme4072that's the point
I was adding to your comment explaining for dummies,it is 2024. Sorry for sarcastic joke. I'm old
The closest Aldi was in Indonesia.
Its the pure child like joy that Tia has for the big things and the what looks like exasperation on chevs face, that has it for me! Its short lived tho cos the pure joy of Tia seeps into chev and he cant help but kinda love it too !! 😂 another great video guys! Seriously love watching my country thru your eyes. Beautiful.
This video unbelievable, some of that stuff you showed us I really enjoyed and thanks for that, man I need to get out more and I hope to visit these places soon, fingers crossed.
0:32 he is so done with it all.😂😂
We travel a bit and I think we all have moments like that. But Tia seems to cheer him up with her seemingly endless enthusiasm for the big things and the joy they bring her. 😂
Be happy Cheveyo ! She is sooo cute ❤ She makes me laugh! I am always happy after watching your videos😁
Nowhere else thought to have a big boxing crocodile!
PSA, you can usually get dolmades from coles and woolies deli! (At least in the populated areas...) Do what you need to do!
Cheveyo , your knowledge and respect for the indigenous culture is infectious.
At 60yo I think you've taught me much more than any book or TV. Show has given.
As Australians we are so information poor on the traditional owners of the land we share . So thankyou for the passion.
Also , God love ya mate when you said - She really does make it difficult to hate these things 😂😅😢😮... true ❤❤❤❤❤ there 🐊 🐊 🐊
One of your best episodes. Your view of and respect for Kakadu and it's beauty, Indigenous history and uniquely Australian quirks make me smile.
You capture the feeling (for want of a better word) and your genuine appreciation shines through.
Unlike other vlogs, it doesn't feel like you're trying to 'p*ss in our pocket'. (That might be in your booklet Cheveyo)
Best drink on the road are Dare Ice coffees for us. The stronger the better. Accommodation prices in the NT for this time of the year are outrageous. $177 a night is considered cheap at the moment. There are plenty of crocs around on the way out to Kakadu. Those fisherman are crazy. I used to work out in Jabiru, at the Ranger mine. Those aboriginal rock paintings are interesting. Those rivers flood a lot in the wet season and many people get stuck in their cars halfway across, those crocs are a real danger. Crocs have been found on beaches in Darwin and at the various Springs on the way out of Katherine.
I love seeing my home through new eyes! thank you x Tia for scale :)
So glad you both have hats
Another fantastic video of parts that a lot of Australians do not have the opportunity to experience especially through your enthusiastic eyes. As Australians we often take them for granted.
Tip for Teo, when I managed A Holiday Resort in Cairns, I told overseas visitors to keep your passenger in the gutter and you are on the correct side of the road.
One of the most dangerous roads for this was to Port Douglas, overseas tourists heading North would pull over to a scenic lookout on the right. When leaving they would forget to go over the far side and with so many bends, to see a car heading towards you on your side was frightening.
Love the photography including the drone footage, well managed. Thank you keep enjoying our country
Is it just me or these two are making you want to go road tripping? To ensure I’m on the right side of the road I’d normally wear my watch on the side where I should be driving to avoid confusion. If you ever been to Palau, you know what I’m talking about.
Fav road trip drinks soda water or coconut water. Safe travels guys. Great video as always! Thank you. Sending you ❤ from Perth.
Guys Kakadu is amazing Ubir rocks and the 2nd rock shelter that you visited are special places but the highlight for us was the sunset cruise on the Yellow Waters billabong. I imagine its pretty pricy nowadays because it wasnt cheap 10 years ago. In Katherine a cruise or even a hike at Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) and the hot springs in town are worth visiting the problem this time of year is that they are also very popular with tourists. The fridge in our caravan is usually full of food and the fridge in the car is full of drinks including water, Coke no sugar. Pepsi Max, Great Northern and a few varieties of Bundaberg soft drinks. If you are into Lemonade Tia Bundaberg traditional lemonade is more like a US style lemonade and similar to a lemon squash that our parents would buy us if they visited a pub. You asked before about what is peoples favourite road msuic - I put a lot of our favourite albums onto thumb drives I think we fit something like 2000 tracks on each drive. I plug into the usb port in the car and play it through the cars 10 speaker sound system. We can play individual albums but what we normally do like on our recent half lap is select play all put it on random and for 1000s of kms you rarely hear the same thing twice (unless you want to). A lot of people dont like Kakadu because of the distance between the so called highlights but for us thats not a problem we also enjoy the vast landscapes that stretch away to the horizon and the sense of remoteness that it gives you.
Once again a great video. Absolutely love the drone shots...best thing you guys have purchased. Also loving the accent Cheveyo and Tia please keep finding all the big stuff I never knew existed.
LOL at Cheveyo looking to the heavens for help.
Awww Saturday mornings in Australia...what better way to start , than with a new video 😁. Cheers guys
Thank you for another amazing video and glad to see you doged the crocs (again!). Hoping you'll pay uluru another visit this time was an amazing video last year
I love the respect you show for this ancient land of ours. Lunar (Luna)sounds to be purring along nicely, good on you Mazda Oz. There is a really good documentary series on why Australia is called the oldest continent it's called "Australia. The Time Travellers Guide" .
That is an AWESOME series! I've watched it twice. Might have to go back for a third run through.
I can only chuckle at your opening… Cheveyo’s eye roll is next level. And then about billabongs; check out the lyrics of one of our national songs, Waltzing Matilda- the legend of a suicidal, sheep stealing, wandering hobo.
Im not sure what version you know but the song waltzing matilda is the story of thieving, being caught and then put to death by the Troopers (1,2,3). Keep in mind, the sheep was owned by a wealthy land holder
The song was inspired by events relating to the shearers strike of 1891. Hoffmeister was the leader of a group who set fire to a shearing shed. He was later found dead at a shearer's camp near a billabong. The police finding was suicide from as single gun shot to the mouth. I heard a story (unverified claim) many years ago that suggested the shearers had done him in so the police would find him and not follow them.
Putting it that way is somewhat alarming. But accurate!!!
I always look forward to the end of the video "BLOOPERS" ... wish you had more ...
Thanks for another great video.
Love you guys.
Thank you for this what a wonderful experience I am having as you go on your journey through my country in places I have not been able to travel too. I sometimes think I can feel what you are feeling in this wonderful mysterious landx
