I was born in Stroud in 1964 and only left when my parents moved to Raymond terrace it was a sad day for me I was 21 I still call Stroud home and it will always be home to me .I will go home one day 💙
It’s 1- rn in bright
It’s 7 degrees at Mary Kathleen Ghost town this morning. It was 24 overnight at Mataranka 3 days ago. I think we are heading in the wrong direction! 😂
How about some commentary ?
So so beautiful. Breathtaking.
WA’s best kept secret! Cheers Peter
I'll never move
I'd be kicked out of all broken hill pubs the first month of living there......?that's why I love warrnambool warrnambool
Beautiful Images! Great work guys. I especially like the sun catching the tops of Kata Tjuta. 👍 Not long now & we finally head off again for a few months. Just a local trip this time in Vic & NSW. Have to be back for Michelle's trip to Malta. Then next year back over to the west for a big trip....... Stay Safe & Keep up the Great Work Cheers, Paul & Michelle.
Hi Paul & Michelle Glad you liked the video. It’s one we uploaded last year after our top end trip. Unfortunately, somebody put a copyright claim on it, so I deleted it, changed the music and uploaded it again. I could have left the original one as it was but it annoys the crap out of me when all the music I use is licensed. We left for WA on Easter Tuesday and headed south to Holbrook before making our way across the Murray Valley. We freecamped at Cohuna and Wentworth. Both good RV stops run by the local councils. We then spent 3 nights in Nuriootpa catching up with friends. Tonight we are camping at the Melrose Showgrounds. We were planning to head to Pildappa Rock tomorrow night but have just discovered it’s now a day use area only. We hope to camp at Bunda Cliffs and maybe the Head of the Bight, depending on the weather. From there we will make our way to Esperance and Lucky Bay for the start of our WA adventure. Enjoy your trip. I hope the weather is OK. Luckily we dodged the East Coast Low that hit not long after we left. Safe travels. Cheers Peter & Annette
@@discorover_australia Ah! Those Copyright Strikes...... Yep I've had them too. Don't know why either as all our music is youtube. I read that too about Pildappa Rock, We stayed there a couple of years back was nice but was a bit of a mess with rubbish. I did hear that there was going to be a new donation camp area away from the rock. Might be worth checking. enjoy your trip to WA. looking forward to the pics. Cheers Paul & Michelle
I have fond memories of this beautiful town, from my childhood. Gorgeous part of the world , winter or summer.
It’s certainly one of our favourite places to visit. I hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers Peter
That fisherman is nuts.
Been to a few of them in "my younger days"
Wawoooo
Seen a few of them in person-Great video thanks for sharing 🍺
Hi Guys, Great Video! Had a beer in a couple of those Ha! ( In Echuca & probably other places... Lol ) Cheers 🍻 Paul & Michelle
Great video thanks for sharing 🍺
Hi Barry. Thanks for the comment.
This was a very enjoyable video for me. I lived at Lightning Ridge last century and as an interstate truckie, I travelled all around these areas via the main roads only, until I retired last year. In all of Australia, my favourite roadhouse is "Little Topar". It would be great if I could do a trip like yours.
Glad you liked the video. We really enjoyed the Darling River Run. Trilby Station was a great place to camp. The Darling had plenty of water and Menindee Lake was full. The road was heavily corrugated between Wilcannia & Menindee, but otherwise OK. Just needed to lower the tyre pressures. Hopefully you will make the trip too. Cheers Peter & Annette. Don’t forget to subscribe 😀
I feel like that's one of the prettiest mine ponds I've ever seen.
Just don’t swim there or you will glow in the dark, 😂
Looks like an amazing place
Looks lovely
Hi Guys. Nice One, We were planning on stopping off there on the way home but it just didn't happen. Going to have to next time we are in the area. Cheers. Paul & Michelle
Hi Paul & Michelle It’s a great place to stop for a couple of days. Very well set up. There would have been at least 100 vans parked up. Lots returning from BRB. Firewood available. Hot showers & loos. Homestead tour also available. At a less busy time of the year, you would probably have the place all to yourselves. Road in would be impassable after lots of rain, otherwise no trouble. Cheers Peter & Annette
Forgot to mention potable water for van available from artesian bore. Outlets scattered throughout the camp. Will need snap on hose connector to join your hose to the one connected to outlet. They have regular entertainment nights so Michelle and her sidekick could belt out a few songs. 😃
Much the same in Canada 🍻
3:58 - Yungaburra Hotel (formerly Lake Eacham Hotel) on the Atherton Tableland is 'the second largest timber hotel in the southern hemisphere', with beautiful interiors. Went there in 2000 and had a brilliant roast dinner followed by macadamia ice cream!
Looks like the Banana Benders have all the pubs. The Sandgroupers didn't even get a mention.......🥵
I’m leaving the best to last 😀
Windsor and Richmond nsw have a few if your ever out that way
Thanks Dave. I will keep them in mind. Cheers Peter
Beautiful, thank you for taking us along.
Glad you liked it. Cheers Peter
Great episode 👍 Love Chambers Pillar The Fink Track was one of our earliest outback adventures Cheers Paul & Michelle
Hi Paul & Michelle. It’s great to hear from you. We have been looking out for videos of your next northern adventure. In 2017 we did our first big outback trip heading from Boulia to Alice via the Plenty Hwy and EMR. Then on to WMR, Kings Canyon, Palm Valley, Uluru & Rainbow Valley. From there we followed the Old Ghan Heritage Trail and Oodnadatta Track to Lyndhurst, with side trips to Chambers Pillar and The Painted Desert. From Lyndhurst we headed to Innamincka and the Dig Tree via the Strzelecki Track. It was an awesome experience. This video is made up of photos taken on that trip - in the reverse order to our route. Hopefully it might help anyone planning a similar trip. We are not long back from the Eyre Peninsula. What a spectacular place! In early July we are heading to the Top End via Western QLD, then heading back home to the Hunter Valley via the Red Centre. That should take care of most of the winter! Cheers Peter & Annette
@@discorover_australia Wow. Sounds like it was a great adventure We're currently heading towards FNQ Only a short trip this time Have to be back in Melbourne for late July Just when you guys get there 😂 Probably looking at Eyre Peninsula late august Travel safe Paul & Michelle
Send this to anyone who ever asked for proof of dinosaurs evolving into birds.
Surely the owner of that discovery must be be pissed by now
It’s all under control. I have a long range tank. 😃

Very interesting video-Thanks for sharing this!
I love Quorn
The baby seriously looks like something out of Jurassic park
Interesting video, thanks for posting!
Great pubs of Australia 🇦🇺 ✨🍺✨
Great video-Lovely hotels around the country 🍺
Glad you liked it. You might like to watch episode 1 too. 😀
You didn't show the important part of that round house, the turntable that has 3 different gauges on it, 5"3", 4"81/2" and 3"6". I have stood on that turntable.
I love these bizarre birds. Closest thing to living dinosaurs we have!
Literally every bird is a dinosaur
Aaaaww he's taking his son to go hunting for humans. Wholesome at its finest.
UM actually the cassowary is a herbivore who only eats fruit and sometimes small vertebrae 🤓☝️
@@doomi_nukem ...What? 🗿
"It's human season."
@@doomi_nukemI’m the cassowary is not a herbivore but an omnivore eating both plants and meat 🤓
@@Huntsman67I know I am 5 months late, but cassowary’s are herbivores, eating fruit and stuff like that, however, the generational trauma of predation lead to them having a dagger like claw that they use to kill any potential predators,
I would feed them
i would eat them. :P
That would be irresponsible, and you'll teach it to approach other humans, which will create a dangerous situation for that person.
@@truelionofjudah4097 eh they don’t look that juicy…not like a turtle does..
They will feed on you.
Beautiful!
Murder birds
Makes ya wanna go and have a beer at everyone of those pubs
Sounds like a pretty good plan! 😀
I must be a beerhead, been in far too many of those pubs (or not enough.....)
Your in good company 😃
Great Memories ! Love the Holden Panelvan. Nice to see you had a Pajero at one stage too! & A CUB Camper.............. Cheers Paul & Michelle PMK3AUSTRALIA
Hi Paul & Michelle. We loved our panel vans. The Pagero was our first 4WD. Great car. Loved the Cub Brumby too. But the Jayco Journey has a few more comforts. 😀 Cheers Peter & Annette
Hi Paul & Michelle In 1974 we travelled through the NSW Snowy Mountains and the Victorian High Country in our 1968 Holden Belmont Panel Van. We slept in the back and our camping equipment included an esky, two-burner stove, gas bottle, hot plate, lantern, tarp, two folding chairs and a shovel. We used the tailgate as a table. The tool kit comprised a shifter, screwdriver, wheel brace and a hammer. The panel van was two wheel drive, had a three-speed column shift with no synchromesh on first gear, a 161 motor, no air-conditioning and manual wind-up windows with flipper vents to direct the air. The heater didn’t work but the speakers salvaged from an old HMV radiogram and fitted between the rear panels and connected to an AWA state-of-the-art push-button radio / cassette player, made the whole van rock to the sounds of Cream, Led Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly, Traffic and Jimi Hendrix. On the flat, top speed was about 60 mph. A tank of fuel cost $8. Petrol stations in the suburbs closed at midday Saturday and didn’t reopen until Monday morning. Many country service stations didn’t open at all on weekends. There were no ATMs, EFTPOS machines, credit cards, mobile phones, internet, email or GPS. Cash was king! Public telephones, if they worked and you had enough coins, were the only means of communication, apart from letters and telegrams. Some country pubs opened on Sundays for bona fide travellers who purchased a meal. Otherwise, everything was closed. On that trip we drove to the summit of Mt Kosciusko. That’s something that you cannot do in a Disco! The access road (long since closed) was a very steep, narrow winding track with little if any room to pass another vehicle. The climb up was challenging enough but on the way down we encountered a tourist bus! The bus pulled over, hard up against the bank. With the driver waving us on we inched along the edge of what Annette said very much looked like a vertical drop off into the abyss. From Bright we headed east following the Great Alpine Road, which would have been better described as a very rough track. As we drove through Harrietville, Mt. Hotham, Dinner Plain and on to Omeo we didn’t see anybody. Apart from cattle grazing along the track, we had the high country to ourselves! From Omeo we headed to Lakes Entrance before making our way home along the coast. Those were the days! Cheers Peter & Annette
@@discorover_australia What a Great Story ! Fantastic how simple we travelled in the early days. Geez ! 1974........ I was only 13 Back then. a few years later..... I started my travelling in 1980, I was 19 and had a Datsun 180B & a tourer tent. Esky, Stove, No tools or extra fuel...... Oh! Yeah... No AC either. That car went everywhere. Gotta ask what we were thinking. Young & Spirited... ..... We did the lap of Australia over about a year. Spent a bit of time living in Darwin during that trip. A bit older & wiser (and richer Ha!) these days. Need our comforts like the ensuite etc. Keep Travelling. Looks like it's what we do ! Cheers, Paul & Michelle PMK3AUSTRALIA

What brand of camper do you have? I like that it's nice and low, and yet stands up high when set up. Thank you.
Cub Brumby
@@discorover_australia Thank you. I was in Oz a few years back, and saving up for a return. I didn't get to see a lot of the country. Hope to make a propper trip of it.
