No Invisible rabbits Pete? Unlike the Congelin ones hey! Nice video mate :)
They're out there mate, just gotta be patient to find them! 😋🤣🤣Like your Channel have just sub'ed
@@peterhewitson71 likewise... sub'ed :)
Thanks for this Pete.Your drone views have refreshed my memories of living around this beautiful town years ago.This movie is embracing the beauty of harvey from a different perspective.Well done mate..
Thanks for watching, glad I could bring back some memories!
Awesome mate, thanks for sharing! keep up the awesome work
Thanks mate, I will keep making them 😉
Thanks Pete, Always stop at the Stirling Cafe, but it looks like we should make Harvey a weekend destinaton.
Must try the café ,maybe next time , a great town with heaps to see . Cheers for watching and your comment
Great video
Cheers for the comment, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Looks like the cleaned up Gibbs Pool. It was choked with weed last time we were down there.
Still heavy weed
Nice area but I really don't know why the shire bothered offering such a lame RV stop. It is dreadful.
Yes it's pretty sad compared to other towns , they are missing out on the tourist dollar
The heart of Australia is the country towns, we go through these towns but alot of the time don’t stop & explore , so much to see and enjoy, cheers buddy
Really like the food at Stirling gardens. Didn't know there was a free camp at Harvey. Took me ages to work out how to make it a favourite on wikicamps. Turns out it's changed to clicking liked.
Thanks for the info on the food , will give it a try next time , I hate when apps change the way they work , I have enough trouble working them out sometimes 😀 cheers for watching 👀 👍
Hi and thanks for watching I hope you enjoy this one , don't forget to leave a thumbs and share with you friends Cheers Pete 👍👍👍👍😎
Just had this video pop up in my feed! Absolutely love your editing! Super cool!
Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Regards Pete
We have eaten at the Kulin pub when caravanning through there a few times and the food is great. The museum is also extremely interesting.
The food was great , loved the whole area ,cheers and thanks for watching 👀
Great spots, thanks for finding them and sharing! Question: what drone would you recommend for first timers?
Cheers for the comment , as for drones I have 2 DJI both are second hand this is a big saving , I would recommend mavic mini 2 for a first time as good price and no a big cost if you crash it but only good for light winds , my second drone is the mavic pro , some great features and will take stronger winds ,both give great footage see my drone videos hope this helps .check out reviews on UA-cam Pete
Love watching your videos, please keep doing what you’re doing x
Cheers and thanks for the encouragement, I will keep making videos can't wait for retirement so I can get out more 😀 😄
Just found you..feeling lucky..love to camp with tied up older dogs..your videos are informative ...l will be a follower from now on
Cheers and thanks for the comment, I am glad you find the videos helpful and look forward to you enjoying the next one.

That pub in Pingelly does awesome pub meals. Great video Peter!
Yes the pub has a great menu and is a great place to stop for lunch or dinner , cheers for watching
How come people can't join and pay for your videos? JT from Kalamunda.
I get a bit of money from UA-cam advertising that's covers most of my petrol cost , there is a thanks tab on the video pages but I am just happy people get to enjoy the video and find a new place to visit , I love getting out there 😀
Your videos are getting better and better. Thanks again. JT from Kalamunda
You are very kind I love exploring when I get the time , once I am dead it's going to be a lot harder LOL 😆 😅

When doing a dead centre talking head style shot with that olympus try 'centre weighted' in the light metering settings. It was bouncing around a bit with the bright light coming across the top of the van. Will pop over and say hi if we see you about, thanks for doing these videos, they have been great to preview camp spots.
Hi I and thanks for the advice, using the camera is a lot different from the phone or Go Pro , I need to use manual more , hopefully the next one is more consistent looking at flat mode so I can adjust in post more , cheers for the positive response 👍 😀
Ccool vid
Thanks Jen for the comment , glad you enjoyed it ,Pete 👍😎
Another great/interesting video, myself and others appreciate you sharing your travels and bringing them to us ❤
Cheers for the kind words, I appreciate you watching 👍
Good bit of history there Pete 👍 liked the intro to
Thanks 👍glad you liked it , colours are a bit off , first time with that camera 📷 will keep playing
Is that the Pub that sat for ages unoccupied? I think Warren from Lost Perth owned it while repairs were being made. A friends sister and niece live in a house that was a brothel before they lived in it. Some of the narrow minded country folk of the town gave them grief for a while. I remember another friend of mine, who was an attractive schoolteacher, moved into another country town that shall remind nameless, and was continuously harassed by the women of the town, thinking she was going to steal the husbands. Sometimes you just gotta laugh.
Not sure of the history of the pub , but has been done up very nicely , yes some people are funny in small country towns , I have seen it first hand and wonder where there head is at .
Katrine, in-between Northam and Toodyay is a free spot to camp on the Avon river and has toilets.
Yes a nice spot , I did a video on a while ago 😄 thanks for the comment
Great video Peter. Love the content, very helpful. Cheers
Glad you found the information helpful, cheers for watching
Very enjoyable video thank you.
Thanks for watching and for the kind comment . Cheers Pete 🍸🍷😎
Lived out that way for a while so we know the area pretty well. Some nice spots to find and places to explore.
Yes, it's a beautiful part of the world with a lot to offer.
Pingelly is a great wheatbelt town that's currently going through a bit of a renaissance. Thanks for highlighting it!
Yes, Pingelly is a great place with lots of local history and friendly people, thanks for watching.

@@bevmills4116 Hi and thanks so much for following me I hope the trip goes well , if you are doing it is summer remember insect repellant , mozzies and fly's are bad .
