- Welcome back, a great sleep at Lake Benanee then off to Mildura,down to the Mildura Wharf.
Do you know what Big Lizzie is,she's a ,unique piece of engineering and a one off I think.
Red cliffs at sunrise that was special.
Onto SA for a really quick look around Renmark and Berri,Barmera and Lake Bonnie where there is a memorial to Donald Campbell whom achieved a water speed record in his jet engined boat called Bluebird.He was later killed in this boat in England while attempting to get another record,they have recently raised the Bluebird after 50 years submerged and ran it again.
A drive through Burra very historic with many stone buildings and finishing at Gulnare for a camp.
So this means yes I'm heading west again,
Hope you enjoy, and see you next week ,take care Bill.
A nice way to travel here on my ipad! Your car trips are very relaxing with interesting scenery and local attractions. The river and lakeside views were especially scenic in these inland areas. Your videos are a CZcams highlight for me.
Hi Kris,it's great to think you get so much out of my videos, travel is great,the riverside areas naturally aren't always covered in mud ,they took a lot of damage,but things were being repaired while I was going through especially roads.thanks for watching it will be a quick trip across the Nullarbor next ,thanks Bill
Another great vid.
Very informative.
Where are you now Bill ? How's your mum ?
Thanks for taking us along on your journey through life. It's wonderful to travel. Take care and be kind to all you meet :-)
Hi Ade,I'm in WA,the episodes are a little behind,that was a hot trip,I waited for a tailwind and cooler temperatures before I crossed the Nullarbor (again).I just got some great footage of Dolphins at Esperance that will be in a couple more videos. All the best Bill.
The Murray needed a good flush out, I believe it broke through down at the sea end for the first time in years, what mighty river systems we have, to think that a lot of the water came down from Qld.The old K class looks a bit worse for wear unfortunately. Mildura looks so green and healthy now , would love to see the Menindee lakes now , apparently the bird life out there is terrific at present. Didn't know about that Loco at Red Cliffs! The roads don't look to bad. You have to love the sandstone/ rock buildings in Sth Aussie they are unique. How's the Tarago going? Are you going to fit it out more? The big question is what you will be doing for the 100th episode?
Hi Fred,the Murray sure did overflow, I was thinking of doing Menindee Lakes,but somewhere in my road updates online,I read the roads were really bad,it's always good when they paint the old trains, not sure if the engine went underwater, at least Big Lizzie looked great,episode 100 well I think that might have some Dolphins in it.Often when I film go pro ,I don't see the footage again until I edit,so I sometimes forget what I have filmed but I should have Dolphins, a guick Nullarbor trip next video, thanks Fred,take care Bill.
Quick
Hi Bill love your videos. How do you travel around? Many you tubers either work on the road or saved like mad when they were working, or sold up everything.. drive safely and keep smiling. Karen ❤
Hi Karen ,it's like how you described it,saved and went on the road.No McDonald's or bought coffee.
That's a good way to be... If we want a 'frothy' coffee or 'frothy' chai. We use a Kmart coffee plunger, $10, heat the milk on the stove, then pour into plunger and plunge it up and down and it froths beautifully. Either Nescafe or Moconna coffee. For chai I buy tea leaves or tea bags and let it steep and again froth the milk. No coffee machine.. we make most of our own meals. Works for us. Not for everyone.. stay safe Bill x
