      @onlyleavingfootprints  Před 5 měsíci

      We have watched the footage so much, that gate was definitely closed and latched. Jon didnt lean down to unlatch it and he had the DJI in one hand and his phone in the other. Very strange happenings lol. Thanks for watching

    Another great episode Tracie and Jon. We went to both hot springs but really liked the bitter springs better. Also camped at that one too.

    Hello Jon and Tracie. Well, that was a bit spooky. The gate was closed as Jon walked up to it, it was just the Little Missus inviting Jon in for a chat and the freshwater crocodile only bite you to be friendly, as they cannot talk.😂 till next week safe travels.

    I would like to challenge you to push the boundaries and do something outside your comfort zone or something you haven't done before. You can do anything and will be so proud of yourself when you do.

    @trippinaroundoz Před 5 měsíci +1

    Great video guys. You were lucky to get a daytime swim at Matranka on your own, we had to go at night to beat the crowds (clearly didn't read the sign that said not recommended after dark 😅)

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  Před 5 měsíci

      I thought with the people there it was crowded lol. Then when they are left it was creepy lol.
      Oh a night swim arghhh
      Thanks for watching 👀

    We visited in June 2019 and it was like Pitt street in Sydney, Even though its hot me thinks you have seen the best Mataranka has to offer.
    Trying to figure out the best time for a swim was just impossible, on top of that there was the bats.
    Enjoy your videos thank you, stay safe guys.😊

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  Před 5 měsíci

      Jon and I were just saying even though it was the wet season we think it was the best time to experience Mataranka with no crowds. Thanks for watching

    Ha ha ha Karma is a bitch Jon. Should not tease the Miso about crocs. You two provide great content with your videos. Where’s captain Jon, no drone footage. Cheers from Adelaide

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  Před 5 měsíci

      Haha exactly. No drones allowed in this area. Unfortunately from here on either the wind is to much to use it or there is restrictions so not alot of drone footage yet which is disappointing. Thanks for watching 👀

  • @funsrarkim
    @funsrarkim Před 5 měsíci +1
