I have visited your UA-cam channel. Your video content is outstanding. But your channel has some problems. Your videos are not SEO-friendly. So you are not getting more views on your videos. SEO of your channel will increase channel growth, views, and subscribers. I am a UA-cam video SEO Expert. I can help you with this. May I contact you to discuss this..?
Yes, I would like to get more Subscribers and views.
That's some amazing scenary, just gorgeous along with some very friendly roos.
Thanks for your comment. We had such a wonderful time in Esperance and Le Grand National Park and the weather was perfect until the day we left.
Looks like you guys are still having so much fun!
Yes we sure are having a wonderful time travelling this big country of ours, now crossing the Nullarbor heading east towards SA and Victoria. It's a bit cold at nights on the Nullarbor, last night minus 3c
@@Thisldoo Yep that is cold but for a Victorian, not too bad!! We were recently in Portland/Cape Bridgewater whale watching and it was 0c. You've got to stop at "The Great Australian Bight - Lookout No.3/Bunda Cliffs" near Eucla.
@andrewsan4697 Hi guys, Yes we camped at Bunya Cliffs and managed to put up the drone, wow those cliffs have some huge cracks in them, wouldn't want to park the Motorhome too close to them. We also went to the Whale Centre, it was spectacular, Whales so close to the rocks will thier baby's.. So Cool. So glad you are back on the road again, we're be in Melbourne soon. Take care and safe travels
Tarlee is pronounced "tarLEE" 🙂

Wow the bus ride looks cool and lucky you have got the front seat at the upper deck and happy belated birthday!
Thanks for your comment, We were travelling by train for the first few days, didn't see much, so we decided to go on buses where we could see more of Singapore. Thanks for the Birthday Wishes. More Singapore videos still to come.
Welcome to Singapore!
Thank you, We're having a wonderful time here.
I visit your UA-cam channel but saw some problem At this reason you can't get more views and subscribers
And the reason is WHAT..
@@Thisldoo give me what's up number I will see your problem
We've stayed at willow Tree twice Not bad for a $+5 donation
It's a great place to stay, we have stayed there 2 times.
Hi Colin and Mara, great to see you both enjoying that burger. You've probably been there before, but why did you skip on the Uluru area? Safe travels.
Hi Andrew. We didn't go to Uluru this time as we were there on our last lap of Australia in 2021/2022 We spent a wonderful 2 months in SA We're now in Mataranka for a few days enjoying the lovely weather here in the Territory.
Congratulations on reaching 200 subscribers guys. 🎉❤
Thank you so much 😁
Your like two kids in a lolly shop😊
Yes it was a great experience staying in the Underground Home.
Just about to move to Hervey Bay from uk and can’t wait!!! Great video.
G'day Paul, Thanks for your comment. I left the UK from Hampshire back in 74 as a 10 pound pom. Been in Hervey Bay for 16 years and love it. We must catch up when you move here. Keep in touch. Colin.
@@Thisldoo Hey Colin it would be great to meet up. I will let you know when we arrive. Cheers.
Colin, I saw the Loch Ness Monsters face, and no, no wine yet ❤
Glad you enjoyed the video. Safe travels to you both. One day we shall meet again.
We went there guys, but ate down the side, outside cos of our wee dog. We had the lunchtime special and it was so excellent. Beautifully cooked and we couldn’t finish it all. Awesome place. 😊
Yes it was very unusual and food was 1st class.
Love the church of fish & chips. Quite impressive! Why did you head up to the Flinders Ranges, then back down?
Thanks.. it's was going to be perfect weather for the Train ride, so we decided to go to the Ranges first, and then to the Yorke Peninsula when it was going to be sunny for a while while there.
Great to see you out with the drone again. The seal seemed to like you! We're enjoying your travels.
Thanks... Yes the New Drone is great, but I still need to practise a bit more so I can feel comfortable again. It has so many features the other one didn't have. Thanks again for your kind comments..
Very beautiful country ❤❤
Thanks. Yes it's beautiful in this part of SA
Beautiful old buildings, especially the Mill 😊Naughty Mara. What are you sticking out of your mouth 😜On your train ride back, I expected to see cowboys galloping alongside, coming to rob everyone on the train.😅
I thought of the Indians along side the train, after I put the video online.
Awwwwww you old romantic. True love always ❤
hahaha 😂 Like they say... Happy Wife...... Happy Life.... After 43 years of marriage, I must be doing something right. Thanks a million for your comment. I just subscribed to your channel.
Beautiful guys. We loved the Coorong but you showed us much more. Cheers Marg
Thanks Marg, we had a wonderful time there, but long after I crashed my Drone, brought a New Drone yesterday. So more footage to come...
We are neighbours in Levi Park 4:47 Adelaide
So we are.... Hello Neighbour..
Looks like you had a wonderful time exploring from Victor Harbour. It was a pleasure meeting you both at Coonalpyn. The place is almost empty tonight.😮😊Keep up the good work guys and stay safe ❤
Hi, Yes it's such a wonderful place to visit, we had a great time, now to Adelaide to get things done on the van and New Drone. Take care and thanks for your message.. keep um coming 😊
thats new didn't know you could swim in that .
Yes you can swim in the Little Blue Lake, but absolutely no swimming in the Blue Lake in town.. It's there water supply. Thanks for Watching our videos.
I have spent a few summers at I think it's the Queens caravan park near by next to the blue lake.
It's now called the Blue Lake Caravan Park. Must be new owners.
it was 1974 and 1976.
Hi Colin and so sad about your drone. Any idea what happened? Kate and I continue to enjoy watching your videos and the places you're finding to stay.
Hi Andrew It was very strange, I only had up about 6 mts then all of a sudden it went straight up to about 20 mts, I tried to bring it home, and then all of a sudden it just fell to the ground. There was a big gust of wind that probably took it up higher and higher. Oh well there things happen. Going to buy another one while in Adelaide. But I wasn't happy. Neither was Mara. Take care to you both.
@@Thisldoo It may be worth contacting DJI as it could have been a malfunction. The footage shows you weren't doing anything crazy so you never know. I wouldn't be happy either and at least you weren't over the water. Enjoy the travels.
Yo~ like it~total unusual ,have a great day! Colin. 🌟
Thank you! Cheers!
Loving the drone videos
Thank you. Unfortunately no more drone footage, Crashed it today, so it's out of action for a while. Video is now on for Watching
Thank you for your informative videos. They are a pleasure to watch and your music choices are great. I just subscribed to your channel after you pulled up at the Coonalpyn caravan park. We are in the Jayco, pulled by the white Rexton, behind you 😂😊
Hi, Thank you so much for Subscribing to our little UA-cam channel. Please feel free to say Hello, would nice to meet you. Colin& Mara
caught my first ever fish on the pier in Robe ,
I wanted to try my luck, but it was very windy, so glad you managed to get your 1st fish on the jetty. Thanks for your comment.
45 years ago.
I hope you have caught some more since then.. 😆😆
Great video Colin. I'm sure you met a couple really nice people there from Victoria!! Safe travels.
We sure did Andrew. It was lovely to meet you both, It's a shame we could not Camp up for the night somewhere, infact we stayed the night in the 25 hr area just up the road from where we met you. Hopefully we shall meet you again on the road somewhere.

Oh no so sad 😢
I know, hope they had time to save all their belongings before it tipped over and broke up.
@@Thisldoo I hope so too, it would happen so fast, we are always prepared for our boat to flip/sink, with the kids and dogs we would just be thinking about getting them to safety etc boat would be last... hopefully they're insured ❤
Such a beautiful place ❤
Yes we love it here, moved from Gold Coast 16 years ago
