Best thing for you guys and Mazda was this partnership with the BT50. Great advertising for Mazda and you're going places Blueberry wouldn't be able to. Also the drone footage has taken your channel to another level.
These last couple of videos have been your best ever. Feels like you’re taking us on a journey to places no other youtuber has ever gone to. Great work. Thank you
This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. Artistic eye for texture and color, and well framed shots. Tia did an excellent drive through some relatively deep water! Cheveyo is correct in expecting a machine to do the ONE job as advertised.
Too many snakes and spiders in the places you go that could kill you. Some nasty little bull ants that bloody hurt when they bite too! Bull ants aside, I too worry about you guys not wearing shoes. You’re a beautiful couple and so relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable to watch. I’ve seen parts of Australia I’ll never see thanks to you both. We all just want you to stay safe.
The least talked about sting is the bull ant sting … a bull ant crawled over my brother’s bare foot and stung his big toe and you can’t imagine the pain and swelling he endured. The MD warned him that people have died from an allergic reaction to them.
@@judileeming1589 I am allergic to jackjumpers - I’m not sure if you get them everywhere in Australia, but they’re little black ants that actually do jump - a jackjumper bite is as painful as bull ant bites- I was told that both are equally as dangerous- for me & many others, one bite is enough to cause anaphylaxis & if you don’t have an epipen on hand, there is a real possibility that if you do have anaphylaxis, you can die
Ok now Cheveyo has the Aussie spirit. Laid back (mostly/appearing).. but below the surface lies the ability to give someone a verbal serve/rant/shade when they deserve it (Repco) lol
Even if It didn't it would still be covered by Australian Consumer Law for the reasonable lifetime of the device, which is probably more than 12 months.
That Mazda sponsorship was completely earned in this episode! The shots of it going through the water crossing looked like an ad. Love Blueberry but it's great you've been able to have Luna for this journey and do better off roading! "Us to wear shoes" was hilarious, I noticed the amount of comments saying that too! But the star lapse is definitely wanted, beautiful!
This is Australia ... most Australians will never come to such remote places as the Kimberleys region. Your video creations are top notch. They make me want to go back to the Kimberleys and revisit such iconic places. It is a great pity you did not get the chance to see the Horizontal Falls and remote coast line between Broome and Derby. Still your drone shots are freaking excellent! More star gazing please. Show us the awesome Milky Way
@@andrewbarnett5542 sad isn’t it. Australians know there is good stuff to see up there, but with the spiralling cost of living we’re all working non stop 50 or more weeks a year just to put a roof over the kids’ heads and food on the table. Only chance most will get to see the Kimberly and Pilbara etc is to get a FIFO mining job in the area, and thats kinda not a great way to see it.
I see Chev has the 2 finger wave going as other cars pass by, very Australian. And with his Aussie lingo and the beginnings of a fine mullet, all you need to do Tia is get that mullet going. You'd both make a fine pair of soft centred Aussie bogans😂 Putting jokes aside, I'm really enjoying watching your West Australian travels as I plan to do it in the future by motorcycle. You were probably joking about the Aussie citizenship, but you both would fit in well here. Oh, I love those drone shots that encapsulate the vastness of the outback. "Lost in Space" would make a good title.
The language of snag: A "snag" is just a sausage, more specifically it's usually a beef sausage but it could be other meat. A "sanger" is a sandwich of any type. And a sandwich is something made with sliced bread. Now the basics of life are clear. A "sausage sandwich" or "sausage sanger" or "snag sanger" can only be a sausage wrapped in a slice of bread or between slices of bread. You put it in a long bread roll here and it would normally be called a "hot dog" but if you wanted a more American style hot dog you'd buy saveloy sausages, which are like frankfurters but bigger.
Ahhh, guys, this and the last couple of videos have made me a bit emotional 🥹 The northwest is my happy place and I can’t wait to get back. The colours, the sounds, the serenity, the night sky. Thank you 🙏🏼! You’ve caught the Outback 4WD bug. With beefed up suspension and All Terrain tyres (and a functioning compressor! 😂)there are so many more epic landscapes you can visit. The upside of the gnarly roads you came across is that these places are not overwhelmed with tourists and you can have places like Cathedral Gorge to yourselves. You are so right … many of the special locations across the entire Outback have a spiritual feel about them … and you do need to stop and reflect that Aboriginal people have been visiting these places for well over 40,000 years. Thank you again. 😘 to you both.
As someone who's yet to see these parts of Australia I'm very much envious but excited I get to in the future. I've had many friends with your experiences or grew up in these regions and they all the same about the spiritual elements. They have far more reverence for nature and the teaching of Aboriginal peoples. Can't wait to see it for myself! Completely agree these episodes have been amazing!
@@hilarykoppen2776 your are of course correct … well over 40,000 years. Latest research I have read suggests 75,000 - 80,000+ years. 40,000 came to mind when I wrote my initial comment because I had The Seekers playing in the background.
I didn't know that I wanted a Star Lapse...but I'm glad you did one. Nice to see some Midnight Oil playing. Best video I've seen of the Bungle Bungles...I didn't know it was so far off the main road and that there are so many water crossings. Just another great video.
Thanks for showing such an incredible landscape and unreal video shots. Also to prevent an expensive collision - if a kangaroo jumps across in front of your vehicle as at 9:52 - immediately look for a second one that may be following.
In order to make this Epic Driving Experience across our great land even more memorable, it would behoove MAZDA to Gift them the damn Ute. At the very least.
@@ricochet3510 It's amazing the places people used to go in regular vehicles. All these places have been visited numerous times in regular sedans and station wagons. As a kid in the late 70s our family went around Australia in a regular sedan towing a caravan, there was basically nowhere dad wouldn't point his 2wd sedan. Back then you hooked your caravan to your Kingswood, Falcon or Valiant and drove everywhere. Usually heavily overloaded, but no-one seemed to care, people made do with what they had.
Absolutely! I've had Mazdas my whole driving life (apart from my first car, which was a horrible mini that looked amazing, and my dad spent so long trying to make it great for me, but it was terrifying for a learner to drive and kept breaking down (it was a '72)). So he traded it in for a Mazda 323 (Zippy) and I'm on my 4th and just kept trading up Mazda models. I'd never have anything else. Currently on what was my 'dream car' for ages - a ruby-red CX-5 (Cherry), and I love her so much (I talk to her and praise her when she's done some hard yards 😅) ❤
Hey Trudi. My dad has owned five new Mazda's over many years, (the 1st was a 1979 626) and I've owned an RX3 and an RX7 and still own my gorgeous MX5. Funny enough I just bought my daughter a silver CX5 Akera because I wanted her in a reliable safe car. Zoom, Zoom! 🥰🥰 P.S. I think Mazda should donate the car to our fantastic travelers and sponsor them citizenship as product promoters. Cheers, and be well. 😊
@@chrisgregory4796 Hi Chris. Love the comment. Back in the mid-seventies five of us teenage idiots drove a 1966 Holden HR wagon around Aus, back when there was very little tarmac, just endless corrugations and red dust. We fitted the beast with twin gearboxes, the std three-on-the-tree coupled to a four-on-the-floor Aussie box with a shortened t/shaft which gave us 12 forward gears and 3 in reverse. This allowed 3 lower gears than 1st for climbing sand dunes. It was fitted with H/Duty springs, big off-road tires (three spares on the roof rack) and a bull bar. It looked like something out of Mad Max. Did the trip without a mechanical failure but blew six tires. Fun times indeed. Cheers. 😁
Repco will replace it - but understand it is Chinese junk & they get hot pretty quick. The twin pistons models work better as pump more volume/air up faster. The night sky up there is majestic for sure due to air purity & no man made light interference. Great vlog!! Are you exploring the Ord River
Interesting that you commented on the palm trees in the secluded gorge. Some years ago a prehistoric tree was discovered in another secluded gorge about 200 miles west of Sydney. It was called the Wollemi Pine and was thought to be extinct. Following the discovery the location was kept publicly secret until enough seeds were collected to propagate them. Now the gorge has been named Wollemi Gorge. You can actually buy the tree in retail outlets now for a few hundred dollars. ( a living fossil )
Great trip and loved to revisit the Bungles we did coach trip and helicopter fantastic place, great drone filming a great way to see a very different view we never see. You are lucky to also travel in good weather but after rain adds great beauty to this usually dry area love your enthusiasm and enjoyment travel safe ❤😊
Hey the star lapse!!! I asked for it in one of your prior episodes!!! Thank you for doing that, that's awesome! one of my favourite epi. gazing at the stars for me grounds me the insignificance of whatever all this is, and just how lucky we all really are!!!
So funny seeing the opposites: Cheveyo being excited about the water crossings & Tia looking quite nervous 😂😂 - Tia, blueberry got you through your last trip, Luna is newer & better (sorry blueberry) - have faith ❤️ (BTW - looked like a whole lot of fun to me!) 7:29
I am with Tia on this one! I get nervous with roads full of pot holes, let along crossing a river! :D My car is also a little 25 year old hatch though :P
Great choice to not use music over the first few shots of the Bungle Bungles, and then a great choice of music for the scene later. P.S. To see you two young Americans enjoying the Aussie outback and feeling the spirituality of the natural places gives me hope for the future.
@@OnePackWanderers I didn't notice anything out of place - perfection is a goal not a measure. We are fully invested in your adventure so quit worrying - she'll be jake
The Bungle Bungles are amazing and is unique to Australia. You videos lately are remote and you experienced places that not many people would . I absolutely loved it !!
7:50 I love the fact that you must have gone back and done this crossing at least twice to get the camera shots, and the drone shots are as always top notch! 👏👏👏
Nothing better than Midnight Oil Diesel and dust album in the outback. Glad you had beds are burning playing even though another sound track was playing at the time. Keep up the good work
Oh, and there is another pretty gorge at El Questro Station called Emma Gorge about 85 kms from Kununurra that you may appreciate. Lake Argyle is lovely, too. We were there in 2000, and had a small child, were camping in a camper trailer, and did a great tour on a sea plane, which flew close to the old Argyle Diamond mine (which was the biggest producer of diamonds in the world including of pink diamonds, but closed in 2020) and over the Bungle Bungles, came back and took a boat cruise on Lake Argyle, and then caught a bus back to Kununurra. It was magical. WA is my home State. I truely love all of it. It doesn't normally get so much love as you show for her. Thank you.
Really liked this video. It brought back memories of the Bungle Bungles when we went there years ago. Crossing streams and rough roads is quite satisfying when safely done and you can feel very pleased with what you achieved. I know I was surprised about what we did. The Repco compressor was a sad thing to happen. We used a Black Max for our travels and we still have it and it never let us down. But in those days, they were made in Australia, I think. I also think that everyone who watches your videos would support any application for citizenship!! In fact, I would go so far as to say that we would consider you both honorary Aussies.
You two sure do it all proper like. Fun to watch. Remember if you come to a river or creek crossing always look at the other bank for wet tyre marks that indicate that others have successfully crossed.either that or look for car roofs sticking up out of the water.
We like stars too, but shoes! 😂 Good to know I am not the only one to mention the lack of shoes. Rotisserie all the way. Men tend to run hot. I always found my hubby to be a great foot warmer. That would give me claustrophobia, the rock walls being so close, but it is gorgeous.
I've lived in Australia all my life and never seen such beauty as you guys have shown I'm loving following your journey, the drone shots are fantastic, thanks guys
Literally could not stop smiling with happiness the whole way through this episode. I love our Aus so much and it’s so very special to see how much you are loving it too ❤❤❤❤❤
Luna did so good! Mazda definitely getting their money's worth with you guys. What a gorgeous video! I was so jealous I wasn't in the car for all those water crossings, it looked like so much fun.
Loving every bit of your Aussie tour. And your becoming Aussies with every day here lol. Your almost ready for "The castle" ( movie) where you will get the Aussie slang and Aussie vibe
Gorgeous shots of the Bungle Bungles and the southern skies ❤ Sanger = sandwich. Banger = sausage. Makes perfect sense 😛😅 Outback food prices are outrageous bc of transport costs and the fact that if there's only one shop of its type, they can charge what they like. And I'm telling you guys, ya need to apply for working holiday visas as a way to stay here longer. If Halls Creek wants you, other places will too 😊
Absolutely stunning. Loving the integration of your drone footage, it really is next level. And as for the flies tip in the bloopers, you are welcome 😉😊😘
Hahaha “what do the people want” me “for you to wear boots” Haha . You do such a great job! Such good info and beautiful photography of our Australia. Thank you 🙏🏻. I also loved that you remembered how you felt when you went Uluṟu. Thank you.
OK..my favourite video so far this journey guys :) Still amazed at you wearing sandals !! OMG what would Aussie trekkers be thinking lol Great drone work (again) showing creek crossings and emphasising the area of the Bungles. Mazda will be pleased to see how Luna is being driven so well by you both and I'm sure Repco will give you a refund or upgrade on the defunct air compressor now you've mentioned them in this having nearly 77K Subscribers!!.:) Your trip reminded me why I didn't take my Toyota Altise on that road! Looking forward to your Lake Argyle and Ord River experience and Kununurra. Happy Trails :)
You will have to see if you can spot the southern cross in the night sky. if you don't know what it looks like, look at the stars on the Australian flag. once you can do that I will tell you how to find dew south from it. Great episode! P.S there are two bright stars that point to it.
Great video as usual our intrepid adventurers 😊🏆, I know I sound like a broken record, but the more I see you in Luna , the Mazda BT50 , I want one . Dual cabs are such a versatile and practical vehicle. The chasm looked very interesting in that by the look of it ( at least on my telly ) , the rocks in wall looked like they had been river smoothed , on the ground too, maybe that whole area was under water at some stage ? On the cold temperature , I’m a bit of a cold fish too😊, I feel the cold , in my neck of the woods Melbourne north overnight it was 1 Celsius …. Omg I hate winter in Melbourne 😂.
Hi Tia and Cheveyo. No outback adventure is worth the trip until something breaks down. And old trick I used to use is to inflate the spare tyre to 100 psi. Then carry a tyre infatuation hose with a valve and pressure meter on one end. And a screw on tyre valve fitting on the other. Then just top the other tyres to required pressure from the spare when you come off the track and back on the bitumen. It's cheaper than those compressors, and has no moving parts.
I’m curious if doing this has ever destroyed your spare, since most light vehicle tires have a max PSI rating well below 100? Luna’s tires for example aren’t supposed to be aired above 44 PSI. I do think your strategy is interesting though 🤔
Just something quick if your walking through bush land anywhere good idea to grab a stick while walking hitting the grass and ground so if there are any snakes or anything it usually scares them away and leaves you alone as well just a tip
I know our country is pretty amazing, but man, this part is stunning. Thank you for sharing with us, you two. I think Repco should close up shop and run, lol.
You guys are far too cute with your fun and endings to clips. I love how caring you are of each others feelings and the serious, generous way you appreciate sacred places in nature. Love love love ❤️ ❤❤ this clip and would love to go there one day. #TourismWA must be so delighted with your representation of the #BungleBungles
Great video. The time lapse was good to see. Tia made me laugh when going to the Bungle Bungles when she was talking about the water crossings , she said ‘we will cross that bridge when we come to it ‘. I didn’t think there would be bridges.
Nice to see Midnight Oil playing on the radio there. ^^ Also, a mechanic (of many various sorts, like motor, diesel, air conditioning) is on the skilled jobs list. Get that lady to sponsor you. If you're willing to work in the outback, you'd probably get a job in no time. And, Ahahahahaha, that subscribe was hilarious.
Check out the geology of the Bungle Bungles - it's mind boggling! The roads in purnalulu are the worst I've ever been on. Isn't Cathedral Gorge astounding! 🙂 Loved the stars! Those palm trees are remnants of Gondwana! Name and shame the pump!
Your videos are always brilliant, but what's struck me recently is your use of music is stellar ... I'd love to know what you used for the sunset and the drone view of the Bungle Bungles, and then the star-lapse. Next level. So glad you're clearly loving the country.
4:37 was a little ironic 😅 “have a few rivers to cross, but will cross the bridge when we get to it” …. But there ain’t no Bridges on the Bungle Bungle road😊😊
Intense water crossings - expertly captured and Luna is a legend! Loving your artistic choices with the drone footage, cutaways and star lapse! Here’s hoping Repco makes good with your compressor - a reputable company that’s been around for a long while so I’m sure they will! Safe travels!
Songs for your trip: Moments - Hollow Coves Blessings - Hollow Coves Storm Boy - Xavier Rudd On the road - Hollow Coves Purple - Hollow Coves Milk and Honey - Hollow Coves Colours - Felipe Baldomir Laps around the sun - Ziggy Alberts All these songs will give you the feeling of Australia and the lifestyle you’ve chosen. Freedom, travel, nature, curiosity and peace. They are perfect for a road trip and if you listen to the lyrics you might even get a bit teary. I’m from Sweden but moved to Australia and every time I have someone visiting me I’ll put these songs on and they understand. You’re welcome ☺️😉🥹❤️
Cheveyo says "this road is so much fun"...(camera pans) & Tia's face says "I'm sh#ting myself" ! ..but 5 mins (& a few creek crossings) later, Tia's absolutely loving iit also. 👍🤠
I loved this week's video. Australia has some unique spots to go to all over Australia. It is very nice use share it with your viewers around the world. I'm sure we all thank you for taking the time to do this. I have just bought myself a 42ft sailing boat. It is currently in Darwin. I will be in Darwin very soon to sail it back home . Over the top of Australia and down the Queensland coastline a bit below Cardwell . I am looking for crew for the trip.
@travelgirl747 so much diversity in a country hey? :) I’ve lived in a couple of states in Australia and it’s normal to hear hey at the end of sentences, but I’m sure it’s not popular in all areas, just like how I’ve never heard anyone say sanger or snag. One things for certain on their comments is aussies sure do like to talk about their way of saying things 😂
@ABC-jt7ep l had a NZ boyfriend years ago. Only time l've heard "hey" on they end of a sentence. But Sanga and Snag, all the time. Especially at the Bunnings Snag Stalls
Purnululu is indeed a magic place. We formed a stone choir in cathedral gorge by beating together 2 rocks around the gorge. Brilliant acoustics and we felt as if we were going back in time....😊
I've been to the Bungles Bungles and taken a helicopter flight over the area. I'm fascinated by the scenery, the rock formations. It'a a pity you've traveled so far but failed to fly drone over the majestic Bunglees Bungles.
I love your review on repco website 😂. I would have done the same. that's garbage. I just cracked up looking your compressor online, seeing two reviews, and one of them is your exact description. Gave me a laugh for the day. (Sorry, it's at your expense though)
Those cheap Anaconda/BCF/SCA air compressors suck a lot but got through my trip with one and maybe half a dozen deflations/inflations by keeping it out of direct sunlight while it's working.
Its weird seeing it was 10 degrees at night, which is freezing for Kimberly. You're lucky it's not the wet season. It is so humid up there in the southern summer. Dry desert heat smacking, into the tropical heat. Then, you have the added intensity of the southern hemisphere sun. it's insane how people live there.
Sanger is a sandwich , snag is a sausage , put them together and you have a snag sanger .
And what they picked up were savs. Savaloys.
We call those frankfurts in NSW
@Scott-Inc. yeh we make hot dogs most days in my house but we use Frankfurts from the deli or Woolies to make the hot dogs.
@Scott-Inc. I would try one of those for sure , can't say I've ever noticed it on the menu in Qld takeaways but I'll look for it in future.
@Scott-Inc. Haha - Nick is a good friend of mine. My channel has always promoted Australian music.
Was a blessing in disguise that you never made it in Blueberry as now you get a proper vehicle and go places that never would of been possible!

As a kid in the late 70s our family went around Australia in a regular sedan towing a caravan, there was basically nowhere dad wouldn't point his 2wd sedan. Back then you hooked your caravan to your Kingswood, Falcon or Valiant and drove everywhere. Usually heavily overloaded, but no-one seemed to care, people made do with what they had.
Absolutely! I've had Mazdas my whole driving life (apart from my first car, which was a horrible mini that looked amazing, and my dad spent so long trying to make it great for me, but it was terrifying for a learner to drive and kept breaking down (it was a '72)). So he traded it in for a Mazda 323 (Zippy) and I'm on my 4th and just kept trading up Mazda models. I'd never have anything else. Currently on what was my 'dream car' for ages - a ruby-red CX-5 (Cherry), and I love her so much (I talk to her and praise her when she's done some hard yards 😅) ❤
Hey Trudi. My dad has owned five new Mazda's over many years, (the 1st was a 1979 626) and I've owned an RX3 and an RX7 and still own my gorgeous MX5. Funny enough I just bought my daughter a silver CX5 Akera because I wanted her in a reliable safe car. Zoom, Zoom! 🥰🥰
P.S. I think Mazda should donate the car to our fantastic travelers and sponsor them citizenship as product promoters. Cheers, and be well. 😊
@@chrisgregory4796 Hi Chris. Love the comment. Back in the mid-seventies five of us teenage idiots drove a 1966 Holden HR wagon around Aus, back when there was very little tarmac, just endless corrugations and red dust. We fitted the beast with twin gearboxes, the std three-on-the-tree coupled to a four-on-the-floor Aussie box with a shortened t/shaft which gave us 12 forward gears and 3 in reverse. This allowed 3 lower gears than 1st for climbing sand dunes. It was fitted with H/Duty springs, big off-road tires (three spares on the roof rack) and a bull bar. It looked like something out of Mad Max. Did the trip without a mechanical failure but blew six tires. Fun times indeed. Cheers. 😁
Repco will replace it - but understand it is Chinese junk & they get hot pretty quick. The twin pistons models work better as pump more volume/air up faster. The night sky up there is majestic for sure due to air purity & no man made light interference. Great vlog!! Are you exploring the Ord River
Interesting that you commented on the palm trees in the secluded gorge.
Some years ago a prehistoric tree was discovered in another secluded gorge about 200 miles west of Sydney. It was called the Wollemi Pine and was thought to be extinct. Following the discovery the location was kept publicly secret until enough seeds were collected to propagate them. Now the gorge has been named Wollemi Gorge.
You can actually buy the tree in retail outlets now for a few hundred dollars. ( a living fossil )
Always a good policy to walk your water crossings before going through. Sometimes they can look shallow but could be rutted or deep
What an incredible location. That natural cathedral was insane. Your Australian drone vistas are so epic they are the best I've seen ❤
Great trip and loved to revisit the Bungles we did coach trip and helicopter fantastic place, great drone filming a great way to see a very different view we never see. You are lucky to also travel in good weather but after rain adds great beauty to this usually dry area love your enthusiasm and enjoyment travel safe ❤😊
Epic episode. Beautifully filmed.
I’m so glad you made it to the Bungles and you enjoyed.
Hey the star lapse!!! I asked for it in one of your prior episodes!!! Thank you for doing that, that's awesome! one of my favourite epi. gazing at the stars for me grounds me the insignificance of whatever all this is, and just how lucky we all really are!!!
I hate to say it Chev but you're turning into an Aussie, right at the end you said "there's a servo down the road". Good man!
So funny seeing the opposites: Cheveyo being excited about the water crossings & Tia looking quite nervous 😂😂 - Tia, blueberry got you through your last trip, Luna is newer & better (sorry blueberry) - have faith ❤️ (BTW - looked like a whole lot of fun to me!) 7:29
I am with Tia on this one! I get nervous with roads full of pot holes, let along crossing a river! :D My car is also a little 25 year old hatch though :P
Great choice to not use music over the first few shots of the Bungle Bungles, and then a great choice of music for the scene later.
P.S. To see you two young Americans enjoying the Aussie outback and feeling the spirituality of the natural places gives me hope for the future.
Really appreciate the camera work you did to show us the river crossings .
Thank you! I feel I kinda botched the one where Tia crossed but I’m glad to hear people enjoyed it 😅
@@OnePackWanderers I didn't notice anything out of place - perfection is a goal not a measure. We are fully invested in your adventure so quit worrying - she'll be jake
Wow the drone shots, star lapse and the really cool shots you got of Luna going through that deep water. This video is next level!
The Bungle Bungles are amazing and is unique to Australia. You videos lately are remote and you experienced places that not many people would . I absolutely loved it !!
The diversity of landscapes in Western Australia is truly incredible
7:50 I love the fact that you must have gone back and done this crossing at least twice to get the camera shots, and the drone shots are as always top notch! 👏👏👏
I was thinking the same. The average person wouldn't even notice stuff like that.
Nothing better than Midnight Oil Diesel and dust album in the outback. Glad you had beds are burning playing even though another sound track was playing at the time. Keep up the good work
"Like a temple" ❤. And those drone shots WOW!
The Star Lapse was brilliant. ❤ 14:50
PS Kununurra is pronounced Kun (rhymes with Bun)-un-are-a.
Doesn’t the Kimberley feel Ike Gods own Country?
Oh, and there is another pretty gorge at El Questro Station called Emma Gorge about 85 kms from Kununurra that you may appreciate. Lake Argyle is lovely, too. We were there in 2000, and had a small child, were camping in a camper trailer, and did a great tour on a sea plane, which flew close to the old Argyle Diamond mine (which was the biggest producer of diamonds in the world including of pink diamonds, but closed in 2020) and over the Bungle Bungles, came back and took a boat cruise on Lake Argyle, and then caught a bus back to Kununurra. It was magical. WA is my home State. I truely love all of it. It doesn't normally get so much love as you show for her. Thank you.
You guys are doing an amazing ad for Mazda. I’m definitely considering this as our next Ute! Nice one!
Im actually googling Mazda BT50 after watching these vids and that's something I would not have done.
Really liked this video. It brought back memories of the Bungle Bungles when we went there years ago. Crossing streams and rough roads is quite satisfying when safely done and you can feel very pleased with what you achieved. I know I was surprised about what we did. The Repco compressor was a sad thing to happen. We used a Black Max for our travels and we still have it and it never let us down. But in those days, they were made in Australia, I think. I also think that everyone who watches your videos would support any application for citizenship!! In fact, I would go so far as to say that we would consider you both honorary Aussies.
Rotisserie 😂😂😂😂😂 Love it. Thankyou for showing the Bungle Bungles. Lovely spot.
You two sure do it all proper like. Fun to watch. Remember if you come to a river or creek crossing always look at the other bank for wet tyre marks that indicate that others have successfully crossed.either that or look for car roofs sticking up out of the water.
We like stars too, but shoes! 😂 Good to know I am not the only one to mention the lack of shoes.
Rotisserie all the way. Men tend to run hot. I always found my hubby to be a great foot warmer.
That would give me claustrophobia, the rock walls being so close, but it is gorgeous.
I'd forgotten all about the "CU in the NT" tourism campaign until I saw the stickers on that ute at 1:35.
Once again thanks for a wonderful video. You’re taking us older folk places we will never see. You’re such a great couple. 😊
I've lived in Australia all my life and never seen such beauty as you guys have shown I'm loving following your journey, the drone shots are fantastic, thanks guys
your love "echoed" through the ages , another great adventure , thanks for the entertainment .
You're wonderful people. Great episode, guys.
Literally could not stop smiling with happiness the whole way through this episode. I love our Aus so much and it’s so very special to see how much you are loving it too ❤❤❤❤❤
Luna did so good! Mazda definitely getting their money's worth with you guys. What a gorgeous video! I was so jealous I wasn't in the car for all those water crossings, it looked like so much fun.
Loving every bit of your Aussie tour. And your becoming Aussies with every day here lol. Your almost ready for "The castle" ( movie) where you will get the Aussie slang and Aussie vibe
Gorgeous shots of the Bungle Bungles and the southern skies ❤ Sanger = sandwich. Banger = sausage. Makes perfect sense 😛😅 Outback food prices are outrageous bc of transport costs and the fact that if there's only one shop of its type, they can charge what they like. And I'm telling you guys, ya need to apply for working holiday visas as a way to stay here longer. If Halls Creek wants you, other places will too 😊
7:41 to 7:52 - hey Mazda can you use that.........job done....add material for sure
Absolutely stunning. Loving the integration of your drone footage, it really is next level. And as for the flies tip in the bloopers, you are welcome 😉😊😘
Thank you for that tip!
Hahaha “what do the people want” me “for you to wear boots” Haha . You do such a great job! Such good info and beautiful photography of our Australia. Thank you 🙏🏻. I also loved that you remembered how you felt when you went Uluṟu. Thank you.
Yes.....I spotted Midnight Oil. !!! .... Well, if Purnululu wasn't on your bucket list before, you can tick it off now !!
OK..my favourite video so far this journey guys :) Still amazed at you wearing sandals !! OMG what would Aussie trekkers be thinking lol Great drone work (again) showing creek crossings and emphasising the area of the Bungles. Mazda will be pleased to see how Luna is being driven so well by you both and I'm sure Repco will give you a refund or upgrade on the defunct air compressor now you've mentioned them in this having nearly 77K Subscribers!!.:) Your trip reminded me why I didn't take my Toyota Altise on that road! Looking forward to your Lake Argyle and Ord River experience and Kununurra. Happy Trails :)
You will have to see if you can spot the southern cross in the night sky. if you don't know what it looks like, look at the stars on the Australian flag. once you can do that I will tell you how to find dew south from it. Great episode! P.S there are two bright stars that point to it.
I re watched this episode and didn't notice Tia's lung laugh when she drove across the waterway but it was crossing over a anxiety level well done Tia
Great video as usual our intrepid adventurers 😊🏆, I know I sound like a broken record, but the more I see you in Luna , the Mazda BT50 , I want one . Dual cabs are such a versatile and practical vehicle.
The chasm looked very interesting in that by the look of it ( at least on my telly ) , the rocks in wall looked like they had been river smoothed , on the ground too, maybe that whole area was under water at some stage ?
On the cold temperature , I’m a bit of a cold fish too😊, I feel the cold , in my neck of the woods Melbourne north overnight it was 1 Celsius …. Omg I hate winter in Melbourne 😂.
Hi Tia and Cheveyo. No outback adventure is worth the trip until something breaks down. And old trick I used to use is to inflate the spare tyre to 100 psi. Then carry a tyre infatuation hose with a valve and pressure meter on one end. And a screw on tyre valve fitting on the other. Then just top the other tyres to required pressure from the spare when you come off the track and back on the bitumen. It's cheaper than those compressors, and has no moving parts.
I’m curious if doing this has ever destroyed your spare, since most light vehicle tires have a max PSI rating well below 100? Luna’s tires for example aren’t supposed to be aired above 44 PSI.
I do think your strategy is interesting though 🤔
I was driving an old school Toyota Land Cruiser with light truck tyres at the time. So I got away with it.
Nice. I’ll definitely keep this in mind in the future, it’s an ingenious solution!
Just something quick if your walking through bush land anywhere good idea to grab a stick while walking hitting the grass and ground so if there are any snakes or anything it usually scares them away and leaves you alone as well just a tip
I know our country is pretty amazing, but man, this part is stunning. Thank you for sharing with us, you two. I think Repco should close up shop and run, lol.
This is your best series by far. Thanks for taking us on your journey and keeping it real.
You guys are far too cute with your fun and endings to clips. I love how caring you are of each others feelings and the serious, generous way you appreciate sacred places in nature. Love love love ❤️ ❤❤ this clip and would love to go there one day. #TourismWA must be so delighted with your representation of the #BungleBungles
Great video. The time lapse was good to see. Tia made me laugh when going to the Bungle Bungles when she was talking about the water crossings , she said ‘we will cross that bridge when we come to it ‘. I didn’t think there would be bridges.
Nice to see Midnight Oil playing on the radio there. ^^
Also, a mechanic (of many various sorts, like motor, diesel, air conditioning) is on the skilled jobs list. Get that lady to sponsor you. If you're willing to work in the outback, you'd probably get a job in no time.
And, Ahahahahaha, that subscribe was hilarious.
Check out the geology of the Bungle Bungles - it's mind boggling! The roads in purnalulu are the worst I've ever been on. Isn't Cathedral Gorge astounding! 🙂 Loved the stars! Those palm trees are remnants of Gondwana! Name and shame the pump!
Your videos are always brilliant, but what's struck me recently is your use of music is stellar ... I'd love to know what you used for the sunset and the drone view of the Bungle Bungles, and then the star-lapse. Next level. So glad you're clearly loving the country.
4:37 was a little ironic 😅 “have a few rivers to cross, but will cross the bridge when we get to it” …. But there ain’t no Bridges on the Bungle Bungle road😊😊
Intense water crossings - expertly captured and Luna is a legend!
Loving your artistic choices with the drone footage, cutaways and star lapse!
Here’s hoping Repco makes good with your compressor - a reputable company that’s been around for a long while so I’m sure they will!
Safe travels!
Those water crossings were very easy compared to some in the Top End😊
Songs for your trip:
Moments - Hollow Coves
Blessings - Hollow Coves
Storm Boy - Xavier Rudd
On the road - Hollow Coves
Purple - Hollow Coves
Milk and Honey - Hollow Coves
Colours - Felipe Baldomir

All these songs will give you the feeling of Australia and the lifestyle you’ve chosen. Freedom, travel, nature, curiosity and peace. They are perfect for a road trip and if you listen to the lyrics you might even get a bit teary. I’m from Sweden but moved to Australia and every time I have someone visiting me I’ll put these songs on and they understand. You’re welcome ☺️😉🥹❤️
I’d be mad about the compressor too, Repco need to be accountable for selling rubbish
Cheveyo says "this road is so much fun"...(camera pans) & Tia's face says "I'm sh#ting myself" !
..but 5 mins (& a few creek crossings) later, Tia's absolutely loving iit also. 👍🤠
I loved this week's video. Australia has some unique spots to go to all over Australia. It is very nice use share it with your viewers around the world. I'm sure we all thank you for taking the time to do this. I have just bought myself a 42ft sailing boat. It is currently in Darwin. I will be in Darwin very soon to sail it back home . Over the top of Australia and down the Queensland coastline a bit below Cardwell . I am looking for crew for the trip.
Have to say this series is fantastic. Yeah, sausage is snag. Sanger is a sandwich. I love the way you said "Servo." Yr one of us now!
I personally say sausage and sandwich and i’m Australian. I should really use Aussie slang hey? At least I say hey and reckon a lot 😆
@ABC-jt7ep "hey" is more a NZ thing. I never say it. I do say " reckon" a whole lot.
@travelgirl747 so much diversity in a country hey? :) I’ve lived in a couple of states in Australia and it’s normal to hear hey at the end of sentences, but I’m sure it’s not popular in all areas, just like how I’ve never heard anyone say sanger or snag. One things for certain on their comments is aussies sure do like to talk about their way of saying things 😂
@ABC-jt7ep l had a NZ boyfriend years ago. Only time l've heard "hey" on they end of a sentence. But Sanga and Snag, all the time. Especially at the Bunnings Snag Stalls
I have no words for how amazing this video is, your work is next level and best footage ever! Love your cathedral gorge kiss. ❣
Purnululu is indeed a magic place. We formed a stone choir in cathedral gorge by beating together 2 rocks around the gorge. Brilliant acoustics and we felt as if we were going back in time....😊
20:54 REPCO is an abbreviation, which is interpretated in Australia as "Reasonably Exact Part, Comes Off".
I've been to the Bungles Bungles and taken a helicopter flight over the area. I'm fascinated by the scenery, the rock formations. It'a a pity you've traveled so far but failed to fly drone over the majestic Bunglees Bungles.
I love your review on repco website 😂. I would have done the same. that's garbage.
I just cracked up looking your compressor online, seeing two reviews, and one of them is your exact description. Gave me a laugh for the day. (Sorry, it's at your expense though)
Thankyou you two beautiful people for showing me parts of my country of which I would have never have been able to see
Yes! Forget the the time lapse star photos. I've been waiting for another episode of Air Compressor Chronicles!
Those cheap Anaconda/BCF/SCA air compressors suck a lot but got through my trip with one and maybe half a dozen deflations/inflations by keeping it out of direct sunlight while it's working.
Great tip, thank you 😁
Thanks for the star-lapse!! I have spent very little time in the southern hemisphere so the stars are so unfamiliar! So cool. Happy Travels
8:00 that could be from a Mazda commercial right there
Such a loving couple, he begin very supportive of her. Thank you for showing me a bit of Australia that I will never get to see for myself.
Its weird seeing it was 10 degrees at night, which is freezing for Kimberly. You're lucky it's not the wet season. It is so humid up there in the southern summer. Dry desert heat smacking, into the tropical heat. Then, you have the added intensity of the southern hemisphere sun. it's insane how people live there.
music at 5:25 is so fitting for a desert road trip : )
Thank you for sharing. You guys are so blessed in seeing our amazing country ❤
