    It’s a real shame this keeps happening, but there is once again a SCAMMER posting in the comments section. We will never, ever do any sort of giveaways from any account but this one.

    The signs are there to keep you alive. To remind you to rest...etc you might start seeing signs with trivia questions on them as well and then down the road an answer to the question. This is to keep you entertained and awake ...when youre only seeing vast distance of nothingness between places.
    Theyre not passive aggressive, they are there to help you stay alert. Fatigue driving long distance can be fatal, so where just keeping you safe 😊 Ps the signs themselves are like the everyday aussies... Straight to the point and honest.

    Hi there guys, it has probably been mentioned earlier but you are doing what is colloquially known as the "big lap", the further north and then west you go you will notice many caravans and motor homes on your travels. The big lap is typically undertaken by retirees as the retirement gift to themselves, the are known as grey nomads crossing the north in winter to avoid the cyclone season which is in summer. Keep exploring and enjoying yourselves. Gary

      Yeah, I'm in Sydney and I named my huntsman Fred (have no idea why; he/she just looks like a Fred). Fred spends most of the time in my kitchen and adjoining loungeroom but occasionally does venture into the bedroom, bathroom & other parts of the house. Ever since Fred moved in last summer I've hardly seen a mosquito/fly/cockroach etc inside at all (if I do spot one they never seem to last long) so he's welcome to stay as long as he likes. Being winter here now, he seems to hang out behind my fridge a fair bit near the warm compressor; had to pull the fridge out last week to retrieve a tub of vitamins that had fallen down behind and there Fred was, just chillin'.

    G'day Tia and Cheveyo! A Canberra based uni student here that found your channel after the video you put up about our capital city - loved the perspective you guys had so naturally I binge watched your entire Australia trip thus far 😂 So glad to see you guys pick up a drone and start learning to fly and film with it - I'd been waiting to see a drone shot all across your Great Ocean Road series and I'm so glad you bit the bullet 😁
    One word of advice I've picked up through years of flying though - be careful with the Australian Drone laws! CASA (the civil aviation safety authority) goes mental if you break the rules (flying over 120m, within 5.5km of airports, in NSW national parks without a permit etc) so go and look them up (and I highly suggest you get the OpenSky or Ok2Fly apps which tell you where you can and cannot fly). Since you are in QLD (Queensland) though, unlike NSW the national parks don't require permits to fly so go for your life!
    With that in mind I can't wait to see what you guys get up to next!
    Hope to see you rock up to the Blue Mountains after you've completed the Great Lap - they're where I grew up and they are absolutely stunning.
    Cheers, Pete

    Huntsmans are everywhere, but they're more active in Summer, so you won't see many at the moment. In nature they live under tree bark, so you'll find them in similar places like (in a car) under sun visors, in rear view mirrors, inside the door jams or (in a house) behind furniture, in curtains, linen cupboards, etc.

We both love how comfortable and happy we feel while watching your travels. It is so nice to have your perspectives on our country and also see where you've been. We are travellers too..gypsies..living all over this big country..so seeing your journey has been a way of revisiting our travels and life styles in different cities.❤
    We had a concert to perform last night and found your energies so happy ..so calming..so sweet..you helped keep us engaged and calm and after the concert, we are catching up with your last video to date.
    I also went swimming with dolphins in the wild a few years back but at a place called Tin Can Bay, where a dolphin befriended a dog and came each day to swim with her canine friend..this grew and became whispered about. When I went there, she brought her baby and I swam underwater with mother one side of me and baby on the other side. They were checking me out with their sonar. It was oh so special! I had just come from performing at the Whale and Dolphin festival..I felt so blessed.
    You are both so natural, kind and sweet. We are both glad we found your shares. We too both suffer from social anxiety yet push ourselves to perform our music..straight from the heart! Sometimes it is a challenge to find places where gentler music can feature. Thank you so, so much

      They usually hang out on a wall or the ceiling and remain still.The trick is to step up on a chair, carefully approach, trap them under a large drinking glass, slide an envelope under the rim to secure the spider and carry him outside, where he will be safe.I will warn you, they know no fear and do have a habit of jumping on you, which does cause the heart to miss a beat.Down here, the spiders you need to be concerned about are Redbacks.They live under bark, sheets of tin etc.A good idea, when tidying up outside, is to wear garden gloves.Redbacks can kill, although we have only had one fatality in the last seventy years.Enjoy you holiday.

    Watching you on the beach, I was thinking, jesus, listen to that buzzing. Why are the flies there that bad at this time of the year?
    If youre crossing the NT stay on the tarmac roads. Anything else, your car wont survive. It will - literally - rattle apart on the dirt tracks of the NT. Conditions on dirt roads are very very bad there amd it can be very very dangerous. Parts of the NT and north west WA feel like youre on mars. These areas can be very dangerous - road and weather conditions - unless you know them and how to deal with them. You do not want to get stranded or injured in these areas.

    In the country it is quite normal practice to drive in the middle of the road if you have no one in front of you.... this is due to kangaroos jumping out into the road... it allows you to react either left or right to avoid hitting them. If you don't wish to follow.... just come up behind them and put your right indicator on... and they should pull over to the left.

    best place to see dolphins is Monkey Mia in north Western Australia, you can hand-feed them (under park ranger supervision) in ankle-deep water, amazing experience. It's become a research hub for dolphin scientists around the world, they've been doing this since i think the 60s when fishermen on boats bringing in their catches would keep feeding them. But this is a similar experience! btw they only provide the dolphins with approx 1/3rd of their daily requirements, ensuring the dolphins still need to remain 'wild' and go hunt fish normally 👍

    K'gari island (or Fraser island as the settlers called it) is an amazing place to visit! I spent 3 days there on a guided tour, where accomodation, ferry costs, food and suitable cars are provided. There are barely any stores on the island and nature can be quite rough, you need to be careful because of the dingos as well. My guide on the tour was incredibly informed and motivated, I'll never forget that trip. And while it is pricey, it is absolutely worth it in my experience.

    You've been in huntsman territory basically the whole trip, they live all over the place. You've probably been within a few feet of one multiple times already, without noticing (if they don't move they can be quite hard to spot in nature). They're not dangerous though. If you see one, don't panic -- you're vastly more likely to hurt yourself than it is to hurt you.

    Great videos, a lot of fun to watch and very well shot. Winter is the best time of year to travel in north Qld. If you're planning to head over to the NT do a bit of reading beforehand regarding fuel, water and supplies needed (if you're heading off the main highway). As some areas are pretty remote, with poor roads, no gas stations and no mobile phone coverage. If you're driving through the more remote areas in the top end, make sure someone knows where you're going and your ETA, just to be on the safe side. And if you have car problems, stay with the car. People wandering off away from the car to look for help are usually the one's who end up in trouble in the desert.
