Tia's appreciation of the high camp value of the "Big Things" shows a true Aussie spirit. You guys belong here!
Your "she'll be right" is coming along nicely Chey haha
"I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of drought and flooding rains, I love her far horizons, I love her jewel sea, Her beauty and her terror - The wide brown land for me". Dorothea Mackellar
The gorge was gorgeous.
Drive safely.
me to
That poem is on the big silos in Gunnedah ,NSW,
Perfect poetry for this place. Really nice visual landscape
Am I the only one who watches each of your videos twice ?
To makes sure that no little detail can be missed?
Best show in town.
Only twice? 🤣
I’m with you!! Once is not enough! ❤
@@Ed-tx4zf I may have watched some more than twice but I refuse to let
myself be labelled " obsessed ". 😉😉
Yes I watch each one, at least twice! Usually twice on my own and then with hubby!
I’m up to watching 3 times - all of them lol😊
I’ll need another fix in a few weeks lol . How come we don’t get sick of watching them a few times 🧐
The inner happiness you two are experiencing has seeped out into UA-cam for us all to share.
Thankyou.
Oh my goodness! You guys! You’re crushing it with this series of vlogs. From the mundane (fuel cost update for a single commenter!) packing up the tent, making PB&J sandwiches and cooking sausages on the tailgate to the sublime - the drone footage, the sunset, the cold swim and then the incredible gorge hike/swim. And then there’s all the funny stuff - “big things” accent practice, trash talking Tia’s driving skills! You are just fantastic to watch!! Keep enjoying yourselves and thankyou so much for the attention to detail that you put into each and every video. Love your work!! ❤❤❤
One usually associates such adventures & activities with retirement. Those reliving their youthful days abet with a few miles tucked under one's belt. With today's current crop of young adventures all armed & versed in all manor & ways of survival within a very diverse & multicultural world. We see now, just how important it is. To see what you can at any time, no matter the age or timeline.
“She’ll be roight”
😊
Well done Cheveyo!
Wow, I didn't expect Cheveyo to praise the big prawn. Tia must be super delighted! 🤣
Awesome video. Western Australia is the best place in the World to live and your videos do it justice. You do more to promote tourism here than any government could do.
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me! One verse of "My country" by Dorothea Mackellar
Cheveyo for scale!
10/10 episode.
11/10!
Made me laugh too
@@noelbowerman1562 ditto
Cheveyo being so scornful of Tia at the Big Prawn, then acting like a little kid when he's driving through the mud is classic 😅 That canyon looks amazing! So glad you're seeing more of our 'wide brown land'.
What makes me happy as an Aussie ,you guys get it.
You embrace ,what is unique about our country
That waterfall to snag sizzling transition was pro!
Be careful if you go to wolf creek there’s a guy that looks like John Jarratt driving around in an old station wagon 😂😂😂😂😂
Cheveyo's dismay and then later enthusiasm for the BIG things - what a rollercoaster !
That b-roll with Luna and the sunset behind it... It should be in the next Mazda advertisement! Amazing! 👍👍
Was thinking the same thing myself , that just looked so awesome with the sunset behind the car , and very likely Mazda will be selling some extra utes thanks this sort of exposure from our adopted ozzy adventurers 😊.
The sunset drone footage as you're driving was epic. I'm glad you're enjoying Western Australia. Looks like you feel at home there.
Love it how you guys are pumping out the vids thick & fast like the old days.
Something to ponder: the deep red colour of the rocks is iron ore, your Mazda's metal components were probably dug up from a mine somewhere in that region. You've driven it back home
yes there are no japanese cars they are all australian sourced.
The Pilbara, including Karijini has some of the oldest rocks on this planet!
What I find amazing about Karijini is how old the water is. When the water was rain, dinosaurs were roaming the earth. It took about 250 million years for the water to slowly percolate through the rocks into the surface pools. Karijini is indeed an amazing, sacred place.
"how old the water is" is the funniest thing I have ever heard, was that intensional?
@@davexenos9196 intensional?
@@davexenos9196 That "old water " i think has evaporated....
verified facts?😂
@@davexenos9196I dunno. Was that “intensional” intentional?
When another vehicle is approaching at high speed in the opposite direction on a dirt road, slow down and get as far left as possible. It can throw up stones and your speed in the opposite direction means your windscreen will hit the stones at high speed. Big road-rains on dirt roads are the worst.
Yes a big road train has approximately 62 rather large wheels that can pick up rocks and weighing up too 100 tonnes
Hey Chev and Tia - That's how you start a video! Get it framed just right, and you get a toofer! Love the uncomfortable look on Chev's face, and the enjoyment Tia has when showcasing the 'big' things while traveling! Excellent traveling comedy gold! You two are just awesome! 👍🦘🇦🇺Definitely honorary Aussies!
The Pilbara is amazing and the oldest place on earth. The Karijini park is 2.5 billion years old, other parts if the Pilbara are over 3.6 billion.
Jack hills in the mid west WA are 4.404 billion years old…the oldest, far more than Karijini and the Pilbara…amazing place…
@@musicdpc007 The Pilbara has the world's oldest crust and is the oldest regoin on earth. Zicrons found in Jack Hills formed as crusts were constructing and before lava oceans subsided to produce the lands we see today..
@@Alunticstalkedme4072 Thanks for that I was probably given misguided information, it’s all very old, went to all these places 20yrs ago stunning places.
@@musicdpc007 I think there is alot of different opinions..The whole.state is very old, even the south West is too. Margerat tiver has the oldest loom soils in the world, the Kimberly is the oldest tropical regoin etc.... BUt the Pilbara looks like another planet, they say it has hardly changed in billions of years except it used to have huge mountains which have eroded down to smaller peaks now.
@@Alunticstalkedme4072 Thanks for all that info appreciate it! Yes WA is old and beautiful my favourite part of Australia!
I so admire your tenacity in trying to keep Luna clean in the outback. 😁 Good luck with that. I really love seeing my country through your eyes.
High praise indeed for that gorge from two people from beautiful Sedona.
The classic WA driving music is "wide open road " by The Triffids
Or Highway 1 by The Waifs, who have the WA-US connection too.
Guys, your videos have stepped up another notch recently. This one is a standout. The production and editing have been amazing. Keep up the great work.
The flashback to Vietnam on the bike and that harrowing day in the mud, I think we all grew to love Tia even more after that one. I have one of those fly nets you wear over your hat, you can wear them without a hat. If the flies get really bad, as they do, they work really well, though they look a little dorky.
Awesome episode!! The drone footage is truly spectacular, and Luna is definitely a great Mazda ambassador 😊
Hilarious to see a flip in interest on the big thing. Find a boy toy and Cheveyo is excited to go and Tia wants little to do with it. First ever Cheveyo for scale 😂!
😂😂😂 so true, Tia was not havin any of it lol
That’s a shrimp! The Ballina big prawn is the real deal.
I see what you did there 😂
Yes, Ballina is the real Big Prawn! 🦐
Yeah prawns have claws!
Haha I just mentioned the Ballina Prawn soo much bigger
Ballina's pawn maybe bigger but Exmouth's pawn is a perfect replica, the detail is absolutely amazing, I watched the bloke making it, he is very talented artist.
We live in an amazing country. Thank you for sharing it with everyone. Love your adventures.
That was awesome!! The drone footage is so incredible on our big screen tv. Actually the whole thing was just incredible. So happy you’re really loving this unique experience. 🥰
Tia, don't forget the big rocking horse outside Gumeracha, near Adelaide.
It's a biggie.
Make sure you grab a coffee from the cafe at the Big Rocking Horse, absolutely lovely ladies ❤
You can CLIMB the big rocking horse Tia you’ll lose your mind! Perhaps a couple of wines at a cellar door in the Barossa Valley afterwards? Best wine in the world!
Yes, not to be missed!
Big crayfish at Kingston, big orange at berri. Devils marbles on kangaroo Island, Wilpena pound gorge drive from Blinman to Wilpena and the biggest sharaz in the Barossa world wide bar none. And you don't get robbed $75 per night. SA is not really a winter joint though although that is a good time to do the Flinders Ranges.
did you go to the big rock wave in wa
Yes!!!!!!! The big things are back 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I lived and worked in Tom Price from 89 to 94, Good to see the familiar sights again.
Wow. Im an Aussie but have never been to that gorge and the Hammersley area. THANKYOU for the inspiration - that is just what I needed. You guys look like youre still having an adventure that is so good and this area seems to speak to your souls directly. I agree - its beautiful! 💓
We lived in the Pilbara for 3 years in the late 70s and never went there either - travelling around in the north west in those days was a different experience and a little bit more challenging than it is today. We went back there last year on our lap around the country and were blown away by how touristy everything in the Pilbara and the Kimberleys has become its getting just as crowded as the east coast.
Waking up to this before school makes my day😁😁😁
My Father hitched hiked around Australia in the 70s as a teenager and decided to go for a swim around this area in a river. He had a great swim and loved it, He looked in a national geographic magazine a few years later, and there was a photo of where he had a swim, and it was FULL of crocodiles, and the story was about the dangers of swimming up North.
Wow you guys outdid yourselves with this one! Thank you for showing off our beautiful country. Enjoy!
Hahaha. 22 seconds in and loving it already!
Editing as I go. ^^
Yay, Luna finally looks like a proper 4WD. She has mud on her. No longer a Supermarket pavement pounder.
Cheveyo's Big thing was also a laugh. He sounded so excited. My 23 year old niece drives one of those every day at work. They are impressive machines.
With all that rain the landscape is going to change enormously very quickly
Karijini National Park is Western Australia's second largest national park, so you were right the second time. It was formerly known as Hamersley Range National Park prior to 1991.
Gotta love the big things ❤
Thank you for sharing Hammersley Gorge with us. It looks absolutely stunning!
You really looked like you were having the best time!
That gorge was gorgeous! Thanks for taking us with you 😊
"She got pretty dirty" as the camera panned from Luna to Tia :)
It really makes me smile watching the two of you having the best day :)
The country on this section of your Australian journey is so stunningly amazing I have no words. I’m Australian and have travelled lots but have not been up there but now vicariously I have. When you walk in the canyons or drive through mountainous regions as shown today, please be aware that water from rains farther from your standpoint can accumulate into torrential flooding so please be sensible and super aware, guys.
Make sure you go to Lake Argyle to the infinity pool, also take a sunset cruise if you have the time :)
The Bungle Bungles are also well worth checking out :) El-questro Station or Emma Gorge have great hikes around at the end of the gibb. If you are going along that way, Ellenbrae Station have great scones that they sell thousands off each year :)
"or have somebody to hold on to....nope!" falls immediately
You guys picked a day when Exmouth received 50mm of rain. Thanks for bringing it up with you. 😄
The colours in outback Australia are amazing and vibrant. It's a photographers paradise.
Love the water wow factor prawn photo! I'm on team Tia with this one 👍🧡
7:10 sunset drone shot taken in front of the vehicle. Now that's high end quality photography right there.👍
Watched this one from my mine site just up the road from Karijini and I’m so happy for you guys that you got to finally experience the beauty of the Pilbara. You are going to love the Kimberley. Safe travels.
I love seeing how beautiful my country is through new eyes, plus enjoy the nice weather whilst you are up there 😊
It's so great that you are enjoying the West. Many people overlook the West Coast when they visit Australia because all the Cities are over East. The Pilbara and Kimberley regions are stunning. Take your time and explore.
I really liked the transition from the water cascading down the gorge to the Sausages sizzling in the pan, great edit there.
Tia is so sure-footed and graceful in the water 😂
Great episode, maybe you guys will call Australia home one day… :)
That prawn was well cooked, and Luna! 😁 Thank you for taking that journey for me, the rocks and water looks so intimidating! 😟
🤣🤣 Cheveyo's face when Tia was so excited about the Big Prawn! The water in those gorges probably only gets the sun for a short time each day, so it stays cold.
A lot of people here buy 4WDs specifically to do a big trip exploring the Outback, so you are probably running into some of them. The ensuite camp sites make sense in a way. A lot of people's least favourite thing about camping is the lack of plumbing.
Cheveyo‘s excitement about the big things is getting better and better 😂 loving it!
Love seeing my beautiful country through your eyes. You are both teaching me so much. Thank you.❤
Don't worry Cheveyo, I'm also interested in that fuel economy! There are SEVERAL of us! :D
Another amazing video, you're showcasing my country in such an amazing way. I can tell you're really falling in love with the place, funnily enough like I did with the south-western US!
I see Tia's got the great Aussie wave going on there. Damn flies.
Every time I see pictures of our outback the colours still wow me. Particularly the contrast between wet and dry.
Cheers guys, Paul.😊
I only made it as far as Kalbarri, but the flies there were terrible. I tried kayaking on the Murchison River for the first time but quickly gave up when flies were crawling up my nose and into my eyes so I reverted back to photography instead. The scenery however was fantastic. Natures Window and the Z bend area especially.
Watching USA’ins spreading jam without butter still does my head in. 😊. Looks like you are having a fantastic trip.
Lol, a bit tricky that tent 😂
Get an air compressor so you can air down your tyres to about 24/26 psi dirt roads. 14/16 psi on the sand. Enjoy.
"every Australian has 2 or 3 offroad vehicles"
Me: 1x 25 year old Mazda 323 :D
The water is cold, probably because tomorrow is the winter solstice, meaning June 21, 2024 is when the sun is the most far away as it gets from Australia!
How good does Luna look with a bit of mud and dirt though! 😍 So good having you legends back in Oz, learnt so much about my own country on your last tour! Love from Adelaide #ShowUsTheBigThings
When you guys get to Victoria, PLEASE make sure you drive the Black Spur!
You guys need to hit Mazda Australia up to fit a lockable hard cover for Luna's tray so you can put your luggage in the back of the ute out of sight rather than on the back seat. Mazda Australia should have thought of that before they gave the ute to you considering what your travel plans are! Great video as always guys. Glad to see you back in Australia. 😊👍🏻🇦🇺
And a tow bar and hire yourselves a caravan.
Mazda - this could be fitted in Darwin with a few shots of the dealership chucked in...just saying...
@mazdaaustralia
Best Mazda ad from the drone shots!
Best introduction ever! I love that Tia's excitement for big things always cancels out Cheveyo's disappointment 😄
Starting with a big thing AND Tia for scale! You’ve already knocked this one way out of the park 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Wow it's so beautiful at the national park! I definitely need to go there one day. I'm glad you guys are having the best time😊
Awesome drone shots as always with the Sun behind Luna:) 😎 WHAT A TRIP!
It has been 20 years since i have been on the west coast of Australia and the great memories are coming back watching this.
Monkey Mia was a huge highlight with the dolphins.
Overrated
My favourite part of that area was Shell Beach. The dolphins weren’t as memorable as I expected them to be, too many people, too orchestrated. The dugongs were better, watching them from the catamaran we were on.
@@miniveedub Things have changed in 20 years then.
You’re 100% right about the rain. I attended an incident there years ago where one of the rescuers was washed away and killed while responding due to rain upstream
RIP James Regan
I’m from there and love watching people’s reaction to it , it’s a beautiful place
Wow! That's one rich iron seam in that gorge 😮
Too many things to note, stand outs Cheveyo for scale, the ensuite camp ground that you could basically sleep in, Tia's not-an-accent-accent slip down the stairs, and that level 5 trail! I've never really wanted to do a hike or trail before but that one looks so fun
your amazing footage makes me feel proud to be from WA... 😊 2 thumbs up for double prawn and huge encouragement for chev gettin on board for the big things..onya mate 😅
Big Pineapple on Maroochydore/Nambour rod on the Sunny Coast has just reopened! Woo hooo.🐨🍍
I have a tent like that in case the fires come again and we have to bug out on a field somewhere. I've never opened it because I know I'd never be able to flatten it again. Great work there. I could nearly taste that big prawn! Love the colours you're capturing, especially the red soils and the greens on the trees.
These tents are a recent invention by "efficient" people not wanting to set up a very basic tent in the rain without getting wet. They are so impractical when it does come to hiking as they cannot be compacted or their elements (Tent, fly, poles, pegs) separated between several people.
A bit late to the party 🎉 in discovering you have uploaded yet another video - they are coming in so thick and fast now which is more than fine by me since they just seem to keep getting better and better!
Love how you led with another ‘Big Thing ‘ I have not seen, although I have visited the original Big Prawn at Ballina here on the northern East Coast of NSW just before Byron Bay which was built in the late 1980’s and re-vamped in recent years - much bigger than the one in Exmouth but the one in Exmouth does appear to be more realistic though it appears to be more vibrant in colour suggesting it’s well and truly ‘cooked’!
I have not journeyed between Exmouth and Broome during any of my WA travels so was excited to see the Hammersley Ranges, particularly Karijini Nat Park which is on my ‘Bucket List and from your perspective, it did not disappoint - the vibrant colours of the red dirt, aqua pools,, green trees and blue sky as well as the waterfall and sunsets are everything I hoped! (Feeling very jelly right now!)
And is it just me or do other viewers experience chills in awe of your videography, drone shots and editing while at the same time still smiling. ? And did I detect the faint sound of a didgeridoo in parts of the soundtrack - if so, and it’s not just me connecting to the indigenous local spirits, there needs to be more of it - very fitting!
Btw we call them ‘gorges’ not ‘canyons’!
Perhaps you should have named the Ute ‘Dusty’ or maybe ‘’’Rusty’ for the red dirt! Good luck tryin’ to keep her clean on those roads! 😆 Luna has well and truly completed her initiation and passed with flying red dirt colours!
Be sure and lock up your food supplies and scraps (seriously it’s recommended you ‘lock’ them up) at the risk of attracting them to your campsite and keeping yourselves safe from the cunning and clever wild scavengers they are which have been known to attack and sometimes in packs - not meaning to scare you but rather just keep you from harm.
Cheveyo, you are sounding and acting more and more like a true blue Aussie bogan with each passing video! On yer mate!
Oh, and I recommend you check out the Internet for famed Australian professional photographer Ken Duncan’s stunning photographs featuring Karijini NP (he incidentally resides just down the road on the NSW Central Coast) - his photographic works and books are what has inspired many of our travels to outback NSW and Queensland, WA and the NT!
Safe travels!
Correction: ‘lock up your food to avoid attracting the dingos
The B-roll on this channel is excellent.
Oh wow guys! Truly amazing! You're blessed to experience your adventures together. Love your vlogs ☀
Woah!! 😍😍🤗 Love your humour.😂 Your video captured the heart-stopping beauty of Western Australia and those sunsets 🌅-pure magic! ✨
It’s amazing what I take as common is a new experience for others. The Aussie outback has a beauty like no other.
Loved your face when you found that truck Cheveyo. lol. They get bigger than that one. That gorge is just amazing. I'm enjoying watching your adventures. My friends who live in Seattle used to live here in WA for a while. He worked on a nickel mine site and absolutely loved it.
The real big prawn is in Ballina, NSW! We used to live just up the road from it.
If you hit soft sand you will need to learn the 5 second rule. You hold the button that looks like the chassis down for 5 seconds which will turn off all the electronic 'gadgets' to give you proper 4WD.
The filming in this vlog was top class. You guys are getting better and better every time. When you're done with travelling you should get into cinematography. Just spectacular 😊
Just beautiful and amazing hike. No way I would be able to do that.
Reminds me of The Simpsons in Australia, when Homer orders one of those giant beers he's heard so much about.
"Somethin' wrong, Yank?"
"No... it's pretty big ... I guess."
😂
“Cheveyo for scale” 😂😂😂😂😂
$75? for a camp site in the middle of Ayakkie?, the world has gone mad.
That's insane.
Tia did say they were there for 2 nights? But still seems pricey for a campsite, even with a private bathroom.
absolute robbery mate
Its getting close to the top of the season. The area is packed out during the season.
And a private ensuite bathroom. Spare a thought to what the cleaning wages would be.
Tia & Cheveyo you two are rocking the outback! And your filming is awesome thank you ☺️ ❤, can hardly wait to seeTia’s postcard. ❤
