Karen and I (We Wouldn't Be Dead For Quids) have just watched this vid. Just bloody wonderful Miriam and Chris. Whilst we've been locked down on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, your vids have been an absolute joy and have been an inspiration, especially central Australia. We loved your Tassie series and you stayed in so many places we stopped at - in fact in the very same site at Friendly Beaches. It's been great travelling vicariously with you. We can only hope that we can travel again soon, if only in Victoria. Can't wait to see your new van when it's finished. Stay safe and please, keep the vids coming.
Rob, thank you! This means so much to us, and makes all the hours we put into creating these videos completely worth it. I can only imagine how hard it would be for you both, having been locked down for so long. Let’s pray we can all get back on the road and travel together again soon - to whichever state we want to ☺️🙏🏼
Our new van should be ready soon - and we can’t wait to show everyone. It’s going to be just incredible… not that this one isn’t. I love our current van! Lol. The next one is, well, let’s just say - special 😁 Thanks again so much for your support, and for letting us know! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown Yes, travel again is gonna be great. We can't wait to get that fantastic Crusader XCE of ours on the road and put our enerdrive system to good use, hopefully in November if the "road Map" stays in tact! we hope to bump into you somewhere in this great country. Cheers.
Oh that roadmap … the one that keeps changing 😅 Here’s to hoping!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great vid guys, we love the western Macs and our Favourite is Ormiston Gorge, we didn’t do the big walk as we were time poor, next time. Chris your a snappy dresser😂 I do the same much to Janes disgust😎
Hahaha … Chris is a stylish one, that’s for sure 😂😂😂 Thanks for your support 🙏🏼☺️
Hey buddy good to see you doing the cooking makes me feel good i thought i was the only one who does the cooking when we're out camping love your vids safe travel
Chris cooks outside and I (Miriam) cook inside 😁😁😁
Love this video, so want to do that walk, but I especially liked that you were having cereal for dinner 😂 My favourite go too 😋
😂😂 I sometimes crave cereal for like a week. And I don’t usually eat breakfast and when I do it’s bacon, eggs, etc. So cereal for dinner is perfect 😂
Amazing seeing it with water. We were there in 2018 and did the walk on a 30+ degree day in reverse and would have loved some water. The only water was close to where you finished. Thanks for the Vid.
Oh wow! We were told it was a permanent water hole. Guess not! Lol. 😁
Love that I came across your videos. Doing a catch up on your past videos as well. Envious of your car and van but will have to wait until I win lotto.
Oh cool! Welcome to the channel 😁 And just a tip - we didn’t win lotto - just saved hard and worked hard … working our way up to this over the past 7 years 😉
Great video again just love the walks you do and the places you take us to cheers and 🍻
Thank you! And you’re so very welcome. I can’t wait to see what you think about the next one! It’s a doozy 😁😁😁
Great Vid Man. Wow what a fun adventure
Thank you! And yes, we had a blast! Our fav hike so far for sure ☺️
Great Episodes can not wait to see the next one .All the best in your travels
Thanks so much Daryl! The next one is the last of the West Macs - Gosse Bluff (an incredible crater) and Palm Valley. Both stunning places 😁
Awesome, now we want to go back..
😂 sorry bout that. I’d say it’s a place worth visiting twice though. I’d like to go back when it’s warmer!
absolutely spectacular!! very well done !! I hope you get sponsored for some new shoes
Thanks!! It’s a great hike - our fav so far 😁😁
Miriam and Chris another great video / episode 👍👍👍
Thank you! 😁🙏🏼
We love the west macs. That water was freezing when we were there in April 2016. We walked the other way and just explored the gorge. Will definitely do the pound walk next time.
I’m curious to know what the water temps are like in summer 🤔
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown maybe the heat gives you a false sense of how cold it is. 🤣
I was thinking maybe it’s just ‘extra refreshing’ if it’s a hot day 😅
Love your bush walks! Those rocks and beautiful natives are stunning, cold water with dead fish not so much 😂 but really good fun to watch ❤️
Thanks Celia 🙏🏼☺️ It really is our fav walk so far! So glad you enjoyed it 🤍
Love the content of you vids guys. Keep up the great work cheers 👍🏻
Thank you so much 🤗🙏🏼
Great Video showed us what we missed, was there in May but sadly the wife sprained her ankle at the rock and couldn't do the walk so back again next year
Oh noooo … good to hear you’re going back though. It’s well worth it 😁👍🏼
Great episode guys, big thumbs up :-)
Thanks so much! 😁😁🙏🏼
Love your vids! Just ordered the campfire kit 👌🏼
Oh thanks! And you’re going to love it 😁😁🔥

Oh great!! You’ll love it - and now you know what to expect at the end 😅

Hey guys that was a fab walk. When we were there in 2014 we did the 5 Min walk. I bought the camp grill for hubby for Father’s Day. Thanks for the code. 🙏🏾
It’s such a fun walk! Definitely our fav so far 😁 And very happy to help with the Camp Grill code. I bought one for my dad too! 🤍
cool ! see you in 3 days
See you then! 😁👍🏼
Hi guys, a great fan for hikes. I really like hiking out there in that region but did some hikes in Brisbane region. I am currently in the Western Cape South Africa and started my CZcams channel hiking in this region. I definitely subscribe to your channel because it gives me a broader perspective of your country. My channel is escapade.aj and I am in the learning phase. I just completed a level 5 trail but I don't know whether you're up to that level of hiking. Happy hiking.
Oh wow … sounds like you are a much more serious hiker than we are! We will check your channel out for sure 😁👍🏼
Can't wait, looks like someone is in deep water.
😂 deep, freezing cold water with dead fish 🐠🤢
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown 🤣🤢
Great vid, that camp grill looks awesome and light too! Also what backpack is Chris carrying his camera gear in on the hike?
Thanks! And yep - the Camp Grill is really light, durable too! We love it 😁😁 I can’t remember the name of the camera bag, and it’s in the Chevy and raining - so will have to get back to you on that! Inbox us on IG tomorrow and Chris can tell you. He knows! But he’s asleep now 😴
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown I'll have to talk to the "minister of finance" and see if Santa can bring us a Camp Grill and obviously, Santa will be using the ADUCREW discount code! 🤙🏽
Do it!! 😁😁 I checked and the backpack is a Tenba Axis 👍🏼
Great vid as usual 👍 just out of interest what did you guys do prior to your travels?
Thank you! Here’s a link to the About Page on our website. Much easier than writing it all down here 😁 www.aussiedestinationsunknown.com.au/us/
Great Video guys Can you tell me what backpack you use
It’s a Tenba Axis 👍🏼
Sorry but Ha,Ha. Nice and cold with the beautiful dead fish or two.
Oh there were so many dead fish! I should have done a close up 😂🤢
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown sorry but funny.
😂
That looked fun. Not......
It’s actually the most fun we’ve had on a hike! Definitely our favourite one so far 😁😁
