I'm glad you went through N. Australia, just so that I know what it looks like. Not a high spot on your world tour, me thinks! Anyway, I will be interested to see what the habitated part of Australia looks like. By the way, Australia bought some nuclear submarines. Why does Australia need nuclear submarines? Why does Australia even need a military? Who would attack Australia? I guess every self respecting country wants to have a military!
🙏👍👌❤️
It's so interesting to see a little part of their culture, as always, I had fun watching your videos ❤❤
Always fun to follow your adventures ❤ And this is what we have started to do. Hope we can cross paths 😊🤗🤗😘😘🫶🏻
It's an awesome adventure 😎 it reminded me of your US travel 😄
I drove up to the Cape York Peninsula from Sydney in 1972. The images of Townsville are a lot different than I remembered, though the landscape is probably much the same. I do remember having to be careful about the little trains hauling sugar suddenly crossing the road. A town I particularly liked on the Queensland coast was Mackay, though I haven’t seen it in decades. Queensland was my favorite part of Australia. Though I’m American, my grandmother was born and raised in Tasmania, so I have some family roots there.
👍🏻🍻
The story of Paddy and that he may have been put in a pie is like the Opera The Barber of Seville. He lived across the street from the pie shop? Interesting story.
Loved all your stops! I love a good rodeo! In the US the rodeo announcers are so funny. I love your adventures!
Minor point: mount isa = mount eye-za.
Close your vents and whack the air conditioning on when you drive through bushfires. Keeps the smoke out. If you fly over central australia at night you can see out of control fires out in the middle of nowhere from thousands of kilometres away. At first you might think its a big city’s lights but then you realise its orange-red. Theres always fires burning unattended deep in the outback.
So much diversity in the landscapes of Australia. You could spend years just traveling around Australia. I love the history lessons. Sad Paddy was never found…he looked like a sweet man. Love the trip east!
Daily Waters Pubs! People who lives 1/2 – 100 century ago lived a life of full & Challenge, Love & Caring!!!
So super vlog❤❤❤
Really enjoy your travels and the interviews with people you come across. Thanks for sharing.
Mt Isa, pronounced Mt eye-za….not eesa. 🙂
are you guys jews?
Loved the taste of Aussie "culture". A change of scenery, people and activities. Thanks
hello my friends Nick e Matild ,muito legal viva a vida abraço kkkk Ingles e portugues kkkk
when r we going to meet the aborigines…..nice video.
Wow, plenty of variety in this one. Loved the Prairies Hotel, definitely going to stay there sometime. Did you do that long journey in one day or were you being very quiet and secretive about where you were sleeping in case of being stalked by someone wanting to put Next Meridian Pies on their menu?
Thanks for sharing guy's, Australia is Texas only bigger! Change your name of the channel to "Fixing your Land rower daily🤠" Is Toyota a sponsor?🤠 Even Eva zu Beck switched to Toyota 🤠 Driving across Australia shows you how big a country it really is. Love the channel💗. Stay safe and happy adventures in Australia. Cheers 🍰🍰🍷🍷🐂 We love your Land Rover Defender 110 💗💗🚙🚙
Hope you’re going to take the Old Telegraph Track to Cape York!
What a great way to break up what could have been a monotonous road trip!
건강하고 안전한 여행 되시길 바람니다
2700 kms in 20 minutes. Hard wheeling hey. Good pub crawl though. At the end you went to a Rugby LEAGUE match. Rugby is RUGBY UNION. I’m looking forward to the next adventure now. Safe travels. 👍🏻🙏🦘
dangerous driving between all the toyotas?😅
Hi in case you are wondering why the crows are flying around the fire that is because they know the fire will flush out their dinner easy pickings for our feathered friends.
Hope you get to see some of Queenslands magnificant Dams many more across the state than most people realise, The Lake that is also Mount Isa's Water supply is simply stunning and you can fish swim and water ski there as well.
That museum looked awesome! Old cars and bikes. You swam with “freshises” but you don’t want to try cowboying? LOL! Nice to have extra help working on your ride as long as they know what they’re doing.
Japan attacked Australia in WWII. More bombs were dropped on Darwin than on Pearl Harbour.
Lovely 😊 very nice 👍
😍😍😍
Such a cool episode, glad you took the pub route. 😊 cheers from the land of the Springboks 🇿🇦😉
Hi guys. I'm learning about Australia with you. Just a piece of information: the biggest rodeo on the southern Hemisphere is is Barretos, SP, Brazil. It last one week and attracts 1 million spectators, every year.
I always love y'all's videos. Happy travels from,KY .
From a Queensland local, welcome. Enjoy the best State in Australia.
Sure you can drive for hours on end and see nothing but endless roads or you can actually stop and have a look around. We did a full lap with our caravan last year and another half lap this year. Instead of going across central Queensland you could have turned north at Cloncurry and headed up to Normanton in the Gulf country and then across the Savanah Way visting the Undara lava tubes and the Volcanic NP before coming out on the Atherton Tablelands above Cairns.If you wanted to experience some history you could have headed south east from Cloncurry to Winton, Long Reach, Barcaldine then over to the coast at Rockhampton. Did you go the mineral springs in Katherine, do a cruise or bush walk at Nitmilik (Katherine Gorge), Did you visit the stunning Litchfield NP, Ubir Rocks or any of the ancient aboriginal sites of the Kakadu NP , while there take a sunset cruise on The Yellow Waters Billabong ? Did you call into Adelaide River or Berry Springs, ? When you went down the Stuart Hwy to the Daly Waters and Larimah pubs did you know Australias1st international airport was in Daly Waters which you can have a look around. Did you swim in the mineral springs or drift down the creek on a pool noodle at Bitter Springs when you went through Mataranka ? Did you drive 10 km off the road into any of the waterfalls/swimming holes or limestone caves along the way ? The impression people will get from watching this video is that there is nothing to see between Darwin and Mt Isa other than pubs or a couple of roadhouses and thats far from the truth. By the way the best roadhouse to stop for the night is the Barkely Tablehands which is half way between the 3 ways turn off and Mt Isa.
You mentioned you are going to Cape York next episode. Are you taking the Old Telegraph Road or the regular route? The Old Telegraph Road could be quite the adventure if you can convoy up with some hardcore Aussie 4×4 off-roaders.
