Can t do the music.
@@misfitfarm1937 watch the extended play version if you don't like the music and push the fast forward button if it's too long
impressive trip so far by yourself & on the Postie bike ! - What type of drone are you using & how r u recharging the batteries?
@@paulzeleny4879 I'm using the DJI magic air. It's a few years old now. I have 2 usb ports I put on the bike. The drone only charges on 240v but I have 3 batteries.
Have been following this adventure, love it out there but a bit wet out there now ;)
I saw a tree!
Loved this! Always wanted to do Birdsville and see Big Red - great footage and rocking tune, terrific!
well one things for sure Anna you have plenty of time to think, ponder and navel gaze as you ride those long straight featureless outback roads ....been there done that 🙂
@@marksteele4364 yes similar to being out at sea. I like it.
Ooop sorry free ranger i left my comment on yours. Bugga.😮 😣Doh
That's OK, I'm sure Anna will see it.
@@Free_Ranger_CT110 thanks👍 all the best for your future endeavours 🏆 Peace harmony and gratitude ☮️🦘🚴
Are you planning your next adventure?
@@Free_Ranger_CT110 Yes, the Bridle Track near Bathurst in October.
@@fantasticanna2512 not heard of that, I'm hoping to head out soon, just chain & sprox & tyres etc to fit beforehand.
Fantastic watch thankyou 😊 PS I did the bridle track (Hill End to Bathurst return) it was a brutal slog on the pushbike and Hawkins hill just out of Hill End is something special (ouch). You'll love the accomplishment 🏆🏆🏆 I leave in three days for Winton , I dare say I'll be rewatching your vids again. With deepest gratitude ☮️
@@P.Ttrying If the hills are too steep I just have to run alongside and push.
Would have made for some awesome droneshots riding along those long straight rods.
@@3goldfinger Yes. Unfortunately I had exceeded my leave at work and was trying to get back as soon as possible so no stopping to put up drones sadly.
@@fantasticanna2512 next time.
Nice work Anna, great solo effort!
Inspiring again! You must have good legs lady!
@@rond5323 Haha. No I didn't have to push with my feet much. Unfortunately every time I did I had the camera going when it stopped on dunes and all times she just sailed over the dune the camera was off.
Ah, that's a relief! I suppose you know you're you are teaching some us, that if you have time, a huge adventure doesn't need to be very expensive! A comfortable, expensive adventure is a bit fake! Thanks!
@@rond5323 100%. I haved backpacked through Europe and Russia. Staying in hostels with local people. You see people sitting in 5 star resorts and it's like you have been to club med, not distant country
Good drone footage Fantastic Anna. 👏
That was great! From the shot angles to the music choice.
Imagine a tracker identifying different animal tracks in the sand... Camel Dingo Oh look, postie bike! 🤣
Haha. That happened a few times. Twice groups of men on big bikes overtook me and said we could see your tyre marks and tell there was a postie bike in front of us. It happened on Arrabury Rd and Strzelecki Track. The guys on Strzelecki said I was using every bit of road. I said yes I was trying to find the firmest sand. They said lean back and put the power down on sand. I have 8 hp going through a centrifical clutch. What power?
@@fantasticanna2512 😁 the give-away is the footprints on either side of the tyre track! 🤓
@@garrygraham I only had to do that at on steep hills when she stopped. If the sand was really powdery and deep sometimes I dragged my feet either side like training wheels.
@@fantasticanna2512 🛵
It's difficult to get a scale of just how big Australia is and the contrast between the reds and blues and the night sky in the desert along with the sunrises and sun sets. awesome in every respect.
why would you????
1. It's more fun riding a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. 2. 10k total setup and you can go more places than +100k 4wd on 2.5l/100km. 3. Uninterrupted view if you have the right helmet. 4. It's a challenge.
Ohh 😯 new subscriber 🎉
Well fantastic Anna, this was a fantastic watch🏆💪☮️ Even though I'm a bikepacker (emtb) I'm going through this exact area over the coming months. Thankyou for taking the time to shoot this. Watched in gratitude 🦘 P.T🦘
Thank you. I watched bikepackers in preparation. Also hikers for ultralight equipment. When people said I was mad I said yes but I'm in the lobby of the mad house, near the entry with my name in pen above my bed. There are people who do it on bicycles, they have their own room with bathroom upstairs with a name plate on the door at the madhouse. Good luck and respect.
Fabulous footage of that rich blue sky and clouds heading back into Betoota.
Yes you get the sense that you are travelling across the surface of a planet out there. Which puts things into perspective in your mind.
Luv the closing drone shot with you riding towards the horizon.
Yes I hoped it world go for longer but the drone saw a tree that was more interesting and tracked that instead.
Yeah, fantastic enough Anna! Thanks for the drone shots, and thanks for the lack of music!
Do you have any spare bits and pieces for the bike? Actually a good idea posting videos for a safety aspect. Maybe you should put co-ordinates as well, Just in case.
Just tyre tubes and cable ties. Care 300ml of oil which I used up on this trip and had to buy more. So over this trip she burnt 600ml of oil but I am reliably informed that is normal for the bike and conditions which is fully pinned for 4000km
Good going on a Postie Bike, slow & steady finishes the ride however I'd still take my KTM690 on those far off Outback trails.
good job mate!
I hope you carry enough fuel, how much do you carry? Got a few nice drone shots. Do you have a 12v charger for the drone so you can charge on the go.
I have enough fuel to do about 800km. I have a USB Charger but my drone can't charge with that. I have 3 batteries and just charge when I stay in accommodation.
Well, the eastern side of the Simpson seems to begin very suddenly. I'm looking forward to getting there one day.
Yes.looks very different. The defining feature of a pure desert seems to be there is no more cows.
You said you were going to do it & now you have, go girl!
Haha. Yep. Done. Now I want to do it again. I had the stock roadish tyres on but I've put trail claw on now for the next one.
@@fantasticanna2512 I've got two new trail claw tyres to fit to my bike before my next trip hopefully soon
Good thing you didn't attemt the crossing you'd have to paddle up 1200 of those dam sand dunes but love your tenacity and determination. well done young lady. cheers
I really wanted to get up Big Red, got up Little Big Red. Planning to come up from the Flinders Ranges next year for a rematch with Big Red.
@@fantasticanna2512 I'll be doing the longest shortcut next year Bris to Perth then the shortcut from Perth to Cooktown via the middle..... my last big adventure before life catches up with me. Just have to work out the ideal time. thanks for the Windy App , I'll use that. Good luck for next year but I'm sure you'll succeed. cheers
Thanks for sharing. Needs courage to ride on Postie bike on dirt road. Loved seeing emu running by...
Thanks Millhouse. ❤
@@fantasticanna2512 That sounds familiar 🤣
Respect for doing this on an under powered postie bike!
Wow Anna, that's some very isolated and beautiful country. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Well you are picking the right weather for it 🙂 you're doing all my adventures ahead of me.....a little jealous to say the least. Am doing the longest shortcut in Oz next year.
I use the Windy app the check the weather a long way out. I need this because I go on boat adventures too. You can get the predictions on this app from a few different models rather than using the BOM, or Bureau of Mediocrity as we call it.
I had to watch at least one upload of a page called 'Fantastic Anna'.
That little bike looks pretty much loaded....how much extra weight is the little postie carrying?
Don't know. Haven't weighed it but probably 20kg luggage, 5kg of water, 15kg of fuel max, so 40kg. Should be ok but handles a lot worse than unloaded
hi,i have a monkey 125 so i can relate to the small bike vibe.very relaxing and carefree happy place to be.cheers from NZ
Yes and you can literally drag it out of any situation so you can be more adventurous than bigger adventure bikes.
Do you post on any of the Postie FB groups.
No. I just upload to UA-cam as a bit of fun.
Bloody FANTASTIC !!!!!!! Anna You Legend 👍🏍 Having a go, will follow your Dreams STAYSAFE 🙏 🙏 and yes have subscribed
I'm impressed just goes to show that you don't have to attack the tracks like a bull at a gate....just steady steady and no rush. Love the vastness of the outback and the solitude. Keep the adventure going cheers
Yes. I have had bigger bikes but I love travelling on this bike. It doesn't feel slow on it and you can drink in the scenery. It's so light and low I can get it out of any situation alone.
I Jjust came across your posts and its good to see you are living the dream I'll be heading that way soon. stay upright. cheers
Have just come across your channel - terrific, I love the adventure and the great Australian landscapes you're showing. You've got a new subscriber in me, looking forward to where you're travelling next, happy days.
Thanks. Glad you like it. I wanted to try and show the vastness of it but the camera cannot do it justice.
Thanks for the journey. Subscription added.
Gutsy effort, well done. I like the bit around the 26.00 mark, looks like you're doing 160 K's an hour. Then I remember it's a Postie.....
The sun was going down and there were rocks everywhere and nowhere to put up a tent and sleep so I had the throttle pinned hoping I would see some farm stay with a hot shower. Found a patch with not too many rocks and slept there. Thanks for watching
Great drone (I have one too) and great drone work. Do you 3rd party app to control the drone?
Hi. No just use the DJI one. I didn't know there was 3rd party ones.
Just came across your channel. I have a Postie myself. Wonder if you follow another female rider to get inspired by. You mention in another video you have a drone, which one. As with many UA-camrs, their upload could be a few weeks or months old, so could you include the recording date, as making comments can be useless if trip turns out to be already over. As for the poor picture quality, I have noticed that on many youtube videos. Enjoy your trip.
Hi. I did the trip about 3 weeks ago. I took a DJI Air drone which is a few years old now. It was really hard to fly and ride the bike. Much harder than skateboarding and flying. I don't have any other women that have inspired me in this way, just love adventure. I grew up with trail bikes and always loved using them to explore rather than race.
what camera are you shooting on? The picture quality is poor
Gopro 7. Any suggestions? Is it set to 1080p at your end?
The picture quality is bad on many youtube videos.
@@3goldfinger Yes because I don't have many subscribers or views UA-cam tries to serve them up at 320p. You have go to the settings in the actual video and select 1080p. Thanks for watching.
Must have been quite the adventure on such a small bike.... you've earned a sub. :)
Yes it was a great adventure, totally different to being inside a vehicle or on a bike with a group of people and support.
I thought you were a postie their route, and how they get there. But travelling the great outdoors on a machine that runs on the smell of oily rag is a much better idea than when I did it in an old straight six VK. Great footage!!
Not a bad spot for a camp.
Camerons corner, really big effort Anna - well done!
Luv the set-up shot that has you approaching the camera. ... Are there any drone tracking shots? ... And what's the industrial / construction site in this video?
The industrial site is Moomba gas plant. I think there is also a small oil refinery. It was hard to ride the bike on dirt and fly the drone at the same time but I have some footage I will put in the next and later videos.
