@@naturephotographychallenge whaaaat :) Bottersnikes and Gumbles, denizens of the bush! (I'm def.s dating myself, but that was one of our childhood books...)
@@naturephotographychallenge They were such a part of our childhood that about two years ago we carefully extracted the largely intact text block from the tattered 50+ year-old binding and rebound them in extravagant and surreal fashion for the next generation. Now I wonder if they were maybe meant mostly to indoctrinate overseas children which is what we were (Canadian).
@@bmolitor615 That's lovely to have them rebound. I'm on the wrong side of 50 and have never heard of them so maybe they were treasured by other countries than Australia??! 🙃 The Australian classics I know are "The Magic Pudding" and "Blinky Bill" but I grew up reading "The Magic Faraway Tree" (Enid Blyton, UK) 😄
No worries! I hope it's an improvement 🙂 and thanks for your feedback! Without knowing what bothers the viewer, it's difficult to know how we can improve.
Love your work! Or should I say pleasure?! Stunning video and photography ❤️ Love your sense of fun and humour - thanks guys for brightening up my day😀
Thoroughly enjoyed that. I soooo want to photograph a Red Capped Robin and Mulga Parrot. Did you use a 4WD? Does one need a 4WD to access Little Desert?
Thanks! Red-capped Robins are quite common, particularly in Bendigo so you don't really need to go that far to see one. We rented an SUV (not 4WD) but that was because we wanted to go see the Bustards & that road is notorious for being rough. Turns out we didn't really need it. The Little Desert is very accessible to visit the camp grounds & the lookout... but if you want to go down any of the other sandy tracks, then you definitely need a 4WD.
Amazing video ❤❤

Like how u give us a good view of the bird
Thank you 🙂 I'm so glad that our videos are useful and hopefully informative to help others identify the birds if they see them for themselves
Nothing compares to the Aussie bush. The wildlife there is awesome, and so is your photography. Well done - again.
Thanks so much!! I was surprised that our Victorian desert was so nice!! There is so much colour and the wildlife was fabulous!!
Lovely to see this especially since we shared the bustard part of your day!!
Awesome!! Wasn't it exciting! We had such a good day. Glad that you did too!
Stunning imagery peoples
Thanks! It was a really fun trip this one!! Those Bustards were amazing to see! 😀
I feel like I could see a gumble at any moment!
I'm not sure what a gumble is.... but I'm hoping that's a good thing? haha!
