Hi Sharyn & John, Could be worth contacting Archies, we got a replacement pair. Take a photo of the broken thong & email it to them. Love the kookaburra - beautiful !🩵 Thanks for uploading another video on your travels, feels like we are watching old friends now. Cheers Marg & Steve 😊
Hi guys, can't really complain about the Archies. They are about two years old and John wears them everywhere. The only complaint is you can't buy them in remote areas (not really a valid complaint). Funnily enough, we are visiting family at the moment and the local Archie retailers is out of size 13, so the saga continues! Look forward to catching up one day and trying your cooking. Cheers Sharyn
@@sharyns.shenanigans hey Sharyn, you could order some online to be delivered to a Post Office ahead of where you are travelling. While our son was doing the lap, we’d send things to them via Post Offices and Archies were pretty quick. PS I think next year might be the year to meet up. 😊
Yes, we were lucky enough to see so many birds. I'd love to go back to that area and visit the wetlands. Another location to put on my list to revisit. Cheers Sharyn
Hi Sharyn and John, thank you for another enjoyable and interesting episode of your amazing adventures. Take care and John l hope you get a good pair of thongs along your trip somewhere 😀🩴🩴
Thanks Darren, we are having a great time and love the freedom of not knowing where we are going next. I'm planning to order John a new pair of Archies when we have a delivery address. Obviously I don't have much faith in John's fixi-it ability (not sure it ever works with any pair of thongs). Have a great week, Sharyn
That big bird that crossed the road is an Australian Bustard. Spectacular birds! We saw them on our recent trip up in FNQ on our way to Mount Carbine (can be seen in our video "Birds of the Dry Tropics"). You were right on the Sarus Crane photo but you also saw Brolgas. You can tell the difference as the red on the Sarus Cranes heads goes further down their neck. Brolgas just have the red on the top part of the head. Enjoy your travels & love those birds! 😀 ~ K
Thanks so much for the heads up. Are they unusual to spot like the campers at Normanton told us? It certainly didn't care that we were in the car and could have run it over, just took its time crossing the road. Sharyn
@@sharyns.shenanigans i think they were also referred to as the plains turkey - they were considered a very good food source - they're a pretty large bird - once found all over - now mostly in the north and not that common
Loving the content, and the jokes are getting better :)
Thanks so much. John is very serious about the jokes. Cheers Sharyn

Oh nooo. Broken thong and broken sleep. Looks like you were blessed with Bird sightings though to make up for it.

Thanks so much for the heads up. I'll need to watch your video when we have regular coverage. Safe travels, Sharyn
@@sharyns.shenanigans no worries! 😀 It was just something I thought you'd like to know 😊
@@naturephotographychallenge looking forward to watching it.
i believe that bird is a bustard

@@pabrizzer That fits perfectly with what we saw - it did kind of strut like a turkey and would have lots of meat on it. Thanks
