It's fantastic to see someone else enjoying my old home town. What I will say, as a former driver of the horse drawn tram, it only takes 50 kg of weight to begin the pull of the tram, and as a 60 kg 15 year old when I started there in 1995, I pulled it often to ease the minds of concerned tourists. They are very well looked after horses.
Wow! That’s incredible to learn that. They should put that on the signs. I felt so bad for the poor horses that they must have been straining. Thank you for sharing 🙏
HI N&S, Great video full of places I grew up visiting. The Granite Island draft horses are bred to, and thrive on, work and are what farmers used before tractors. They were all my family farm, in what is now a suburb of Adelaide (Brighton), used for ploughing and hauling. So proud of my birth State's history and beauty. Thank you. Continued safe travels. Judy, Nelson Bay, NSW PS. I just returned from 3 months driving to and housesitting in Whitsundays, another delightful area.
Thanks Elaine!! We shouldn’t complain, we’ve been very lucky with weather the last few years. Spoiler alert: we get a whole lot more rain in the next video.
We loved Victor Harbour when we visited it early in July. So pretty, and they have everything there we noticed. It's just a super place. And yep, I think Nigel is a bit nuts too, like another subscriber. It's probably time to get him tested, Sue. After all, who laughs when they hurt themselves over and over. 😂😂 Just kidding. Thanks again... Love your videos. 😊👍
Loved the video,next time you're down this way Point Sturt on the banks of Lake Alexandrina is a brilliant free camp it's near Clayton, no toilets so you need to be self contained but highly recommend. 😁
I really enjoyed seeing the areas you visited. It looked like there would be some good photo opportunities or things to paint. I’m surprised they are only using one horse. It looks like it would be better for two horses. ☹️ Thanks for the video. 🤗💖
Or maybe a tram with a motor?? I mean I guess it’s a part of the heritage, but I really don’t think it’s necessary. And yes I can imagine painters would love those colours too!
I really love following your adventures 😁 you keep it real , which is great. Which drone do you use in this video please. It looks small , perfect for what I’m after.

Oh I wish we could have spent more time around the Whitsundays! It’s beautiful there. Thanks for watching Judy 🧡
I also loved the video, thank you , especially getting wet three times.wishing good weather from now on, Elaine from Brisbane.

Hey Vinietta, oh that’s good to know, we did see that one on the camp app. Thanks for watching 🧡

@@nigelandsueadventures yes I agree, no horse would be way better. It’s even worse that it’s a single horse. 😕
The tram Clydesdale horses get treated very well and work on rotation. Without the tram there wouldn't be much tourism to Victor Harbour.
That’s the prick your finger sewing dance 😂😂 lol.
Haha you know that one?? I guess that’s why I don’t sew.
I really love following your adventures 😁 you keep it real , which is great. Which drone do you use in this video please. It looks small , perfect for what I’m after.
Thanks so much Jeanie! We have the DJI Mavic Mini. I would like to upgrade to the Mavic Mini 3 pro.
Another entertaining video , buy him a thimble or cup of cement 😂😂😂😂 , keep the shiny side up Pete
Would you believe he has a thimble and wears it on the wrong finger?
@@nigelandsueadventures Bahaha
6:04 OMG Nigel.....🥶
Right??? No way I was going in that water!!
Hopefully when I hit the road, I will never experience another winter again 🤣. I cannot believe you incriminated yourself with the road closure. LOL
"Invigorating" otherwise known as effing cold! 😂
Right? Way too effing cold for me
I guess it gives the horses a purpose to exist with feed, care, and exercise. If the horses struggle then they should be replaced.
They seemed pretty grumpy in their little pens when I saw them there. I just felt sorry for them. 😢
