Did you know that Australia was recently ranked the 6th best country to travel by long-distance bike travellers? 🦘
I made a video about the other top-10 countries here: czcams.com/video/tu_abG1PxQI/video.html
Have you ever come to nepal? 🇳🇵
Yes, but it was in 2007 or 2008!
Well, that makes it a must do for this Yankee.
I really enjoyed your impressions of our country. Could I point out a bias that came through your narrative? The first peoples of Australia are diverse from around 150 nations, and as such, if you think of these nations like Europe. When you say comments like Ayers Rock or Uluru is a very important site for Indigenous people, this is only an accurate saying for the local mob. That site is like saying the Coliseum is important to the French just because they are European. Again, I really loved this video and found it very respectful just wanted to add to the learning journey we are all on. Well done guys
I must get this bike!
Alee -- the most truest ambassador for bike touring. What a fantastic and epic video. I'm not even halfway through and just can't believe how incredible this is. I've been riding for over 20 years, toured thousands of miles and have built over 50 of my own bikes. I consider myself an expert in all things bike related-- but you are my expert and one of the very,very few that I really take seriously when it comes to touring and all info related to it. What a gift for all of us to have you share your knowledge and expierence. Thank you!
This is a very kind comment, thank you so much!
Agreed 👍
A minute in and I knew this wasn't just another CZcams video... this is special. This is one to re-watch again and again.
I want to just quit work, buy a plane to Australia and ride😊
This unpaved road looks smoother than the paved roads in my country, Greece.
haha, same for Boston, U.S!
First time watching your channel. This definitely is worth an Australian Film Award.
Alee, your filming, editing and story telling skills are stellar. This was far more enjoyable than most documentary films I have watched.
I was spellbound through the whole presentation. The worlds largest rock in the evening sun was spectacular. There is good chemistry between you and your lady friend. You both are truly blessed. Thanks for sharing this epic adventure.
I ran out of sleep at around 03:30am and I went to CZcams, bumped into this video and had to watch it all. Absolutely awesome! Let me finish my remaining 2 hours of sleep.
Much love from South Africa. 🇿🇦
If ever I can, I will only go to Australia and bike around for 2-3 months. Its a wonderful sight, thank you guys for taking me along such a nice journey.
The best bicycle travelogue I've watched, period. Amazing visuals, skillful editing, mindful music and masterful narration.
This is going to inspire tons of people to go on bike touring, just like it did for me. Thank you for this video Alee. Thank you for showing us Australia like never seen before and for capturing the joy of bike-touring!
I never thought Australias Outback could be so beautiful and sustain such wonderful wildlife
I live and work in the outback. I can tell you now, Australia is a wonderful country
And the flies you see she wears a net and they plaster to your body , i worked in the gas fields in central Aus in the 70s . Millions .
Your spirit/soul and espirit de adventura is A MA Z I N G. Love the violins and piano, the focus on sky light and your appreciation to the aboriginal culture. At 78 I've been car free for over 10 yrs, now ride a recumbent trike from ICE / UK. Aloha / Hilo
This has been one of the best balanced videos I have ever seen. Just the right amount of every activity. Love the bikes. Thank you for an outstanding video. Take care, Al
This is one of the best edited and most enjoyable videos I have ever watched on CZcams. Thanks guys!
Wow, thanks!
Wow. So moved by the beauty and magnitude of this trip. Takes your breath away.
That's a grevillia guys. Beautiful flowers. Fantastic doco. So lucky to be Australian
Those drone shots, Alee... look scary. So vast! Well done, you two :) Sending big hug from all 4 of us!
Found your show by accident and just give it a go. Great job guys 47.21mins and didn't skip a bit. Love the fact that you guys are so positive in everything that comes across. Love it, deserve a subscribe :)
the feeling of happiness and excitement are contagious by watching this piece of art, cheers mates for making this incredible video! good on ya cobber!
You two look like a great team.
I watch a lot of cycling videos and yours are among my favorites. Your quiet personality reflects in the tone of your movies, there's a feeling of going slow but at the same time we get a lot of information in a short time. I think you alwayd carefully select what you deem worthy of saying or showing. And now your companion adds that bit of uplifting energy that maybe was lacking.
You definitely opened my eyes on the beauty and diversity of an Australian traverse by bike, which I imagined as mostly boring with its long streches of straight, flat roads. Top notch video
You both are a real team with an adventurous Spirit. This filming is very impressive showing many angles and details and the beauty of the Australia outback. Thank you, cheers from Oregon USA.
I'm sick with the flu in bed right now aka not riding my bike :-( and your video popped out of no where on my feed and I'm glad it did. What an incredible journey you two did. Those drone shots make Earth look like an alien planet!
Inspiring! I did a lap of Australia by car in three months with two friends 35 years ago. I'd love to do it by bicycle,
Incredible scenery and filmmaking, along with the usual beautiful soundtrack. Always a great day when a new video gets released!
I love your positive outlook and tasteful commentary. I find your words inspiring to be more appreciative and thankful. Cheers man!
I was so inspired by the video that I went and got my specialized crossroads 2.0 out of storage last night so I can ride it in a little bit :) Been a while and just moved, so my body sore, so I have to take it easy, which is hard since I live on a steep mountain so any riding nearby means big hills
Wow. One extreme to another. All that rain and then beautiful blue skies and sunshine. Amazing!
A great impression of outback Australia, and of the vast and possibly lonely distances.
Bonjour , magnifique montage ,des endroits extraordinaires , j'ai passé un tres bon moment , merci pour le partage !!
Thanks for sharing your experiences and the amazing scenery of Australia. From Winnipeg, Manitoba. Canada.
Lovely comment, I'd imagine you have some great scenery not far from you as well 👍🍺
This is your best film yet. Well done, and thanks for sharing.

This was so good right from that iconic scene at the beginning to the end! What a treat!
Apologies in advance,, you both inspire self to bike back. I was in tears 😢 😭 🤧 forward of being hit by a motor vehicle whilst cycling 🚲 I'm forever different. Afterwards, my bikes got so dusty, dry rot tires, spider webs and more just in the Garage over two (2) years 2020. It's a lot mentally plus physically to BOUNCE FORWARD. Between receiving Acupcture Treatments plus Massage Therapy. Awaiting Aqua Therapy. EXIGENT I BOUNCE FORWARD. Thanks A Lot for sharing this. I personally appreciate this. CYCLIST FOR LIFE 💚💚💚
A great video again, I watch these for relaxation purposes. I notice Laura has a great position on the bike, she seems to sit perfectly fitted.
What an AWESOME adventure!!! Thanks for sharing!

I cant thank you two enough for making and sharing such a great video. One of the best videos I have seen in my life.
Wow, what an amazing journey!!! From my old home town Townsville to! In October this year I drove from my home in the Blue Mountains to Brisbane, up to Winton and did the same jpurney to Alice via the Plenty Highway, then after the Red Centre came back by the Madigan Line /Hay River/QAA Line across Simpson Desert. But you did this journey to Alice on Mountain bikes!!! Wow. I mean WOW!! What an adventure! Cycling is great! 🙂 I look forward to your next adventure!
Ticks all the boxes for a great time adventuring on bikes, enjoyed watching every minute of this.
Absolutely incredible!
Stoked already to the max within the first 2,5 minutes. What a phenomenal intro 🔥
Absolutely AWESOME VIDION!!!! Great to see you two back on the road!
What an amazing journey, thanks for sharing it with us. And thank you for your respect to Aboriginal names and art.
By far the best bike video I have watched. Great job, well done!!
This is one of my favorite adventure videos in a long time! Such amazing camera work and looks like so much fun! Definitely looks like a rout to add to the list of "casual" bike tours! Great content mate!
This is awesome! We just finished up cycling around Australia. Your setup and video is truly amazing.
Thanks for sharing this
This was a beautiful trip with fantastic pictures. Thanks for taking us allong. It gives the feeling that you have to grab your bike and start riding right away. Greetings from Switzerland!
What an epic journey. Well done. I did some cycling out and around Uluru, to Kings Canyon and around Alice Springs earlier this year (2022) and your video brought back some very pleasant memories of my experience. Outback Australia is truly one of the best cycling experiences I have had. Thanks for sharing.
This was just so inspiring and beautiful to watch
Inspiring stuff guys, thanks for sharing! The outback is just so beautiful, can't wait to get back there next year. And now you've given me more ideas on exploring these areas
