    Thank you for sharing your past and family with us! And as a indigenous woman I really appreciate how lovely and kind you are for honouring those before and still to come! Also your love for the beauty of the land. It’s not always the building that you grew up in it’s much more than that ✨♥️🧚🏼💫❤️✨

    The creek behind my grandparents in rural W.A was a magical place. Now it’s like the river dirty no cascading water weeds everywhere sad really. That place felt special in that era and it’s lost to new generations.

    As an indigenous person from America, thank you so much for honoring the original inhabitants of Australia. It was just lovely. I'm originally from Wyoming and the countryside reminded me of how my home state looks when it's had a lot of rain. I'm dying to visit Australia because my great great grandfather came from there in the 1890s. Happy New Year!!

    Great content! We like the variety of videos. Wow you did a super job with the drone. 💯 Nostalgic many times going back. The waterways and nature change specially with global warming.

    This video brought memories to mind of family camping holidays to the Burdekin River in Queensland 30 years ago. The camping spot we went to is now under water after the building of the Burdekin dam. Still, it was nice to think of that again.

    That was lovely. And I related to the part about thinking waterfalls and rivers were magical places. I grew up in rural WA (in a similar era) and I remember climbing off the bridge across the local river to play on the large island in the middle of the river - I thought it was such an exciting place. I also read a lot of Enid Blyton - so yes, there were goddamn pixies and fairies everywhere in my mind.

    Positively stunning. Thank you for inviting us into your family's world, Auntie. I get where you're coming from with the enchantment of the countryside. I live in the American Southwest in the middle of nowhere (population: 1049) and I feel that magical feeling you described every time I see the sun rise and set. The sky gets splashed with vivid oranges and pinks and purples and reds at sunrise and sunset. If you're ever in the region, stay up late and catch a sunrise. You won't regret it.
    On a side note......there needs to be a follow up to Priscilla Queen of the Desert. It needs to star you and feature a drive across the American southwest to get to Las Vegas. Somebody needs to write that.

    • @MichaelBreenIsaborn
      @MichaelBreenIsaborn 2 роки тому

      Makes my ❤ ache for home. The Isa is no where as lush and green but the caverns and cascades during the wet are spectacular, and the sunrise, sunsets magical. Australia is truly a lucky country. We need to acknowledge the Kalkadoon tribe as the first peoples of Mount Isa and we really do need to take care of her because we aren't doing so great right now. Awesome job of showing off Meriwa. It's a beautiful place. Congrats
