At this stage, there is a lot of us Aussies learning about our own country from Tia & Cheveyo. Can we petition to officially adopt them as our own?
We should be able to keep them !!
Great idea. They’re a beautiful couple.
They are delightful but I think we should adopt them in NZ
sorry , you can't have them 😂.@@shelleygilmore6810
Adopt?? Too late, They are already Aussiefied
Strongly recommended replacing open toe sandals for proper Outback bush boots for your safety.
Good advice no one wants to be nipped by a Scorpion or bull ant or worse.. even a pair of Blundstones from Bunnings is better than thongs.
We worry😊
Another awesome vid but Guys please ditch the sandals 🙏
Absolutely. My first thought was RMs are needed here.
@@Dr_KAP
Hiya Kap, I thought exactly the same thing Kappy.
I love these 2, watched every Aus vid of theirs, some a few times lol. Quality and production, humour and info are all excellent, as u already know 😊👍
"You may meet Mick. Who's Mick?" I frickin' laughed my head off! Then Cheveyo says "You don't want to know. It's fine." and I laughed even more. Great stuff!!😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 classic moment!
Bloody Mick.
Mick Dundee, crocodile Hunter. 😂😂
@@budzhusky Mick Taylor from "Wolf Creek" filmed partially at Wolf Creek Crater...northern WA.....
@@Richo732 YES!😂
@@Richo732 sorry, I never saw the movie. 🤷🏻
The eagles are Wedge Tail Eagles
There are no vultures in Australia. The Wedge Tail Eagles are occupying that niche.
And are the biggest Eagles in the world. Sorry guys bigger than the bald Eagles 👍
@@studzy71 Actually not the largest Eagle in the world, that's either the Stellar's Sea Eagle or Harpy Eagle... maybe the Philippine Eagle is up there too but the stats are all a bit of a mess. The Wedge Tailed Eagle is still a big boy though and one of the largest in the world... although the Bald Eagle is more aesthetic, subjective of course (and I'm saying that as an Australian, so no bias here... except the bias that my opinion is not subjective but complete objective truth 😜)
They are famous for bringing down drones. Just sayin' ;) They've even been reported to attack sky divers
@@Sthuont I stand corrected
Who else felt their excitement & achievement as they crossed over the Fitzroy River. Well done you two xx
i want a bumper sticker that says TIA FOR SCALE
Me too!!
I'd get one 👍
I'm in
@@peter16030 oh yeah!!
i need one also
Cheveyo now has a hat…. Next stop…. PROPER SHOES!
I’m betting when Cheveyo returns the dual cab it’ll be in better condition than when he got it.
Oooooh you could potentailly put together and share a One Pack Wanderers Spotify playlist so the viewers can listen to all the songs as well! :D
Great idea!
yes please!!!
That drone footage on the crater was incredible. Genuinely inspiring.
MY dearest children, wear proper, covered boots when you are on the ventures in the great out back!!!!! We loooove you to bits so we do not want anything bad to happen to you. Being careful like Tia walking through tall grass is NOT enough, I had a nice brown snake in my suburban garden, was bitten when walking through the dunes to the beach. NOOOO it not to scare you but be sencible, my daughter is in SES and she has to redo her training re rescue in the bush every year so I am aware of the dangers.
I drove from Sydney to Broome and back in 2003. Being from the city, one thing I'll never forget is stopping in the middle of nowhere, turning the engine off and - on a hot, still day - hearing absolutely nothing. No wind, no birdcall. Nothing. The first time it happened it felt like it was actually hurting my ears/tiny brain, because it was like being in a vacuum, it didn't make sense. So much wide open space around you but no noise to process. It felt amazing.
You're so lucky. I have tinnitus, so will never experience that. Living in a city insulates you from these experiences.
That bloke is a mix of many breeds
@@iansmith6728oh man. I have been to these places, including Wolfe Creek Crater. I also have tinnitus. The lack of sound out there made my tinnitus almost overwhelmingly loud. It gave a new meaning to the phrase “the silence is deafening”.
Guys it's a good idea to get study walking boots for the outback especially clambering over rocky areas. Otherwise enjoying your return series once again.
Respect for not filming at the prison Tree, but telling us all about it, thanks.
The two eagles were Wedge-tails. The white screeching ones are sulphur crested cockatoos and I love them as they always seem to be cheeky and up to some sort of shenanigans. The grey ones with pink heads that spend a lot of time on the ground are Galahs. Calling someone a Galah in Aussie slang means you think that they are a fool! Incredible bird-life here.
Really on the edge of Sulphur crested cockatoo’s known range at Wolf Creek. Probably corellas
@@simontrevisan5598 Hey thanks SImon. Yea it would be on the edge of their range definitely. But bird ranges are fluid as I'm sure you know. I've never been up there. They could be little corellas. Watching the vlog again they seem to take off like a corella, but those screeches! sound like the Sulphurs I have around me in Vic.
The Kimberley is Corella country. There are of course Sulphur Crested cockies but few and far between in that part of Aus.
@@simonfarrow1585 yes you can’t really be sure but given the numbers corollas is most likely
Congrats you guys for finally crossing the Fitzroy crossing bridge! We know how frustrated and disappointed you were last year when you were unable to and now you were able to fulfill that dream of doing the big lap of Australia!! So happy to see you come back to achieve this! Keep safe in your travels and I’m enjoying your vids!! 🫶🇦🇺
It appears this beautiful and ancient land I feel blessed to call home has grown rather fond of you both. She is the mother and all living things her family. You have shown to her that you are of loving heart. Respectful and caring of land and living creatures. It is that simple. You are family here now, so welcome home.
So well said! They definitely belong here!
Lovely put
Spot on! 👌🏽
Tia....You should make a post card book of all the post cards you've done..Maybe call it the "Post Card Book".. I'm sure people would buy it..✌😃
Or make it into an annual calendar?
@@utha2665 Love the calendar idea!
I’d buy it! I’d also definitely buy a calendar!
@Ninja_chihuahua Agree..Tia is very talented and I reckon they'd look good in a hardback for the coffee table.
Oh yes, they would make a beautiful calendar!
When you ran out of words to describe the crater was quite emotional. Great video folks.
My prediction is two will come back at some point after this trip, settle somewhere around Freo, learn to sail, buy a yacht and head to the South Pacific. You know it's going to happen.
Do Flinders circumnavigation, but from WA start.
Hello Tia and Cheveyo from Adelaide. My son worked on the filming of Wolf Creek as the external shooting as the continuety photographer. It was his first big job as a budding photographer. He didn't realise at the time what a terrifying impact the movie had on audiences, until it came out on DVD. Then he understood. And the whole production was done on a relatively modest budget.
That’s actually super cool! I dont find horror movies scary but Wolf creek is probably the one and only movie that gave me chills screaming “run” at the screen 😂
I love that he took what he thought were sweeping beautiful shots...and then they put scary music over it lol.
Thanks for sharing the history of the prison tree - I didn’t know this bit of our history & thank you so so so much for being so respectful- this is why we love you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thats because its not true, even a basic google search will tell you that
@@manuelthebandito118 what part in particular?
@@kynvnxx The tree wasn't used to house Aboriginals to be slaves on the pearling boats
I believe it was used as a holding cell though for real criminals in transit to jail! If they had ever been used as slaves it would have been by the Asian fishermen, not Australians, but that's also unlikely given their culture of tribal wandering!
I can assure you Aboriginal people were not used as slaves by Asian fisherman.
Thanks u2 for being so respectful, loving n joyful🇦🇺🇳🇿
If there ever was one " moment " to capture Australia, would be the moment of you 2 standing on the edge of wolf creek with the sun setting in the background... Rings Australia's beauty,
Wolfe Creek crater has been completely dry on the 2 occasions that I have visited it, so you are lucky to see that.
The light at dusk at the crater was just perfection. Lucky you. What a place WA is.
Better boots when in the Australian bush please.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Totally agree & the topic comes up in many of their Vids. Lighweight hiking boots when out in the bush
Death Adders are very hard to see amongst the ground covers.🤠😲❤️
Try Blunstones iconic Aussies work boots, made in Tasmania, buy them in work clothes shops cheaper there. 😘
A tip with death noodles is to stamp your feet as you walk. They feel vibrations, so if you do this they will think that a much larger thing is coming along and will want to flee to avoid being tread on. This is what we used to do as kids whenever moving through long grass.
I’m glad Tia did not watch the wolf
creek movie because then she would NOT have camped there even with the beautiful crater and sunset😅
Such beautifully typical *true* Aussie outback that foreign visitors so rarely see… wonderful production guys. Killin’ it. Mazda has a lot of goodwill allowing you to get there… well done Mazda!
Not just foreigners but most Australians too!
@@Yumm... facts
Great shots of the Wedge-Tailed Eagles. Galahs are the pink and grey cockatoos. The noisy white ones might be corellas.
I've mentioned this on prior videos, and it bears mentioning again, but your drone shots are so bloody beautiful... That shot of the Wolf Creek crater I had to pause and just look at it for a while (in 4K of course!).
Ditto! 😊
Very impressed the Aussies rebuilt the bridge so fast.
Would recommend covering up your feet, and also just take loud steps when waking through long grass, snakes will hear/feel you coming from ages away, and more than likely run. I'm 29 and live in the country side and I've only seen four snakes in the wild
Loved the footage of those Wedge-Tailed Eagles (second largest eagle in the world) in my native language, we call them Kulmuturra. My aboriginal dreaming of the Chicken-Hawk is connected to Kulmuturra. They are magnificent birds.
Another great installment on your Aussie road trip. Please invest in some boots for walking thru the scrub, hate you to meet a brown snake or taipan in the middle of nowhere. Those eagles are Wedgies( wedge tailed eagles ) my fav bird of all our birds , so majestic. Lovely postcard maybe just missing the camels on the beach, ah can't have everything. Loving the drone shots ,great videography Chevayo. Love you guys ❤❤❤
My mate stars in that movie. The actor who plays the serial killer is actually a top bloke if it makes you feel any better 😊
They should look him up ,doing ,"Play school " lol
A very different Mick
@@noelbowerman1562 100% 😂
@@noelbowerman1562 yep I grew up watching him on playschool back in the 70s - I couldn’t watch the movie for that reason (& because as far as I can remember, he’s ALWAYS played a loveable good guy)
Agree with everyone else who thinks you guys should be appointed by our government as tourism ambassadors.
1 lap done now for a lap of Tassie ❤
I prefer a map of Tassie but each to their own.
The noisy grey birds are galahs, pronounced 'ga-LAHs' 😊 Love that you guys are seeing some of our most remote places - even the ones many of us Aussies haven't been to 😊
That crater is amazing ❤
You’re killing it with the drone shots, and not a Mick kind of killing it, the good version. The overhead road drone at the beginning and the crater were stunning. Also, while it was nice to see the kids, much respect for your people on camera policy…..and I tune in to see you 2 anyway so no need to apologise.
The drone footage of the crater was incredible!
I love your description of the smells and sounds of the outback
I live here and you remind me of how beautiful our country is
Thank you for that
Pam
👍congratulations you crossed the bridge ❤🇦🇺
One of your best video guys. Those colours at wolf creek were stunning. And I agree that the smells and sounds of the Kimberley are intoxicating.
I think all your postcards look great. 🍻🍻👍 you should put them all together and sell them as a bundle pack of your adventures.
Another great video journey. Co-Pilot for Scale: The wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax) is Australia’s largest eagle. Females are larger, averaging around 4.2 kg (9.3 lbs) and sometimes exceeding 5.5 kg (12 lbs), while males weigh around 3.2-4 kg (7-8.8 lbs) 1. Its wingspan typically reaches 2.3 meters .
In comparison, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) from the United States can weigh up to 6.3 kg with a wingspan of over 2.4 meters.
Wedge tailed eagles and sulphur crested cockatoos. The cockies are everywhere but what a treat to see the wedgies.
Yep I forgot how huge they are😳
I still want to know what was the reaction of the first white man to 300+ cockys taking off screaming... probably similar to Tia...
Some beautiful scenery in this one guys.
A little fact about the boab trees: During bad droughts when the farmers were desperate, they use to chop these trees down to help keep livestock alive. Sadly, as there have been many bad droughts, there are far fewer boabs than there use to be. I don't know about now, though. I think there would probably be big penalties if a farmer chopped one of these down. They are a protected species in Northern Territory.
I remember driving from Alice to Kings Canyon and the huge wedge-tail eagle flew just above our windscreen it was both frightening and awe-inspiring. Never seen anything so beautiful and majestic. I had forgotten about it until you mentioned seeing the same beautiful birds. Thank you for taking me to places that I may never be able to go to.
G'day cobbers - your innate ability to capture the very essence of place coupled with your quiet insightful commentary constantly make for informative and joyful viewing. Thank you both.
BTW without the flood, you wouldn't have a 4WD. Look at all the stuff you've seen that you wouldn't see with Blueberry. Like Wolfe Creek, possibly a couple of the gorges, and other stuff coming up. Hope you take a detour to Kings Canyon this time, plus Oodnadatta & William Creek. Maybe the Flinders Ranges if budget allows. Or (see where our 2 biggest rivers meet at Wentworth), then Mildura down the Silo Run to Melbourne.
Wow! When the beauty makes you emotional. Crazy drone shots over the crater!!
Beautiful colours of the crater. And love your Broome post card! ❤
Cheveyo your Aussie accent is getting really good. We appreciate how much you love our country. You may have seen more of Australia than the vast majority of the citizens but we have enjoyed touring with you. You need to invest in some proper footwear for the outback.
Are you going to Tasmania, also Kangaroo island is worth a visit if you go to Adelaide
Amazing endurance guys, I hope you have enough water and snacks on board! Imagine a job paving a road to Alice Springs? 🥵 Our Eagles are very rescourceful and so special, hopefully you do not injure one! Look out for Mick and don't dare stay the night at his homestead! 😳 A beautiful sunset! 😍👍
I'm an Aussie and you are seeing more of Australia than I have. Glad you are enjoying it here. 🦘
Another couple of songs for your playlist - Sounds of Then (GANGgajang) and Great Southern Land (Icehouse). Thoroughly loving this Australian series, and loving that I get to see parts of this country through your eyes.
Side note - It might be worth considering getting some proper boots… the open toe sandals aren’t great in the Australian outback from a safety perspective. 😊
Love your drone shots!! Brilliant work. Love ALL your videos. Good luck, you two.
Back in 2009 leaving Wolfe Creek returning to Halls Creek we had a puncture. We met two other vehicles that also had punctures and one poor family who had broken the axle of their trailer. That road can be brutal!
The meteor crater! That drone footage was gorgeous..best sunset of the trip so far.
WOW Wilson crater, I haven't got there yet, But I know that outback well. So nice AND quiet. It does make me happy Cherveyo that you can smell, hear and really appreciate the outback the way you do. Do many people when they experience the outback don't take that part into their appreciation of it. For them it's more about the places, the watering holes, the gorges, the colours. But the land has a complete unique feel and character as you say, which it why Aborigines have such a oneness with the land I think. I really appreciate that you guys are enjoying it so much. You are going to love the Kimberly so much too.
Oh, you'll probably notice a drop in mpg with the lower tyre pressures, but I'm sure you know that already. Stay safe.
GR8 vid as usual. Amazed you 2 didn't head to Bungle Bungle's at Purnululu NP Kimberley's. I'm YET to head there and explore as MUCH of the Kimberley's as possible. 😍😍 Pete NSW.
Love that you get that feeling of the outback. Yep it's very special & personal & nothing compares ❤️
Another great episode guys👍👍
🦅Oh .the eagles are Wedge-tailed Eagles & the white birds are either Little Corellas or Western Long-billed Corellas.
✌️❤️
Little corella - western corellas don’t occur that far north I don’t think.
So happy for you that you did conquer the Fitzroy River! A big box ticked! Yey!
They are my favorite creature - Wedge Tailed Eagle - White birds are Corellas
nope, not corellas, sulphur crested cockatoos.
You are showing my country in a light that makes me so proud - thank you - but please get yourselves some closed toed boots - way too many nasties around the Aussie outback.
The Sunset montage was spectacular! Thanks guys.
Wow !! Your drone shots are fantastic bloody sensational! My country is soooo beautiful! That shot of Wolf Creek at sunset wow thank you so much !
The eagle you’re referring to is the wedge tailed eagle native to Australia. Although it’s not the largest (ever so slightly smaller than a bald), they hold the record for the largest wingspan for an eagle recorded and verified at a good 2.84m wingspan.
Congrats on the BIG Lap - probably the most significant Aussie BIG Thing to add to your repertoire! 🇦🇺🥳
Appreciate the impressive eagle, drone and sunset footage!
Cheveyo is right - the new postcard is Tia’s most stunning yet and has done true justice to Broome!
The Aussie outback is like another planet. Thank you for capturing it so beautifully and sharing it with all of us. ❤
The first whole aerial shot of the crater was awesome.
Tia i think you found your calling with the postcards. You need to sell them 😁😁
You see weird spooky buildings and abandoned stuff all over Australia, even in the western suburbs of Sydney. I'm sure it's the same in America. What makes it particularly eerie is the heat and remoteness, plus the isolation from European civilisation. I saw a video of an abandoned mental hospital in Sydney that was creepy as hell and the videographer found a gun in a Sydney swamp too. There's probably some YT channel that specialises in abandoned stuff. It's fun to go exploring if you can stay safe in some way. ;)
Amazing! And what a wonderful duo. Somebody give Australia tourism a call and giv'em a plug.
I just remembered - my grandparents did the lap around Australia - twice - in a 1985 Ford Laser towing a pop-up caravan in the late 80s. Looking at where you're driving, I can't believe they made it back with that car once, let a long twice!
Hi Tia and Cheveyo. Congrats on completing the big lap. Did you know that Wedge-tailed eagles have been known to attack drones? Mining companies using drones for survey purposes can attest to that. Stay safe!
Yea we met a guy who said an eagle took down his drone!
The squawky birds are Sulphur Crested cockatoos. Have a flock of them near our place in Melbourne, hang out in the trees out the back and squawk their heads off at dusk and in the morning.
Th actor who played Mick in Wolf Creek is John Jarrett one of Quentin Tarantino's favourite Aussie actors as he used to watch all the 1970's and 80's Australian movies as a Video store clerk. Got him to cameo in Django Unchained. And yes he was a children's show presenter back in the day.
The Kimberley is the most remote place I have ever been to in my travels around the world, sure there are more remote but I haven't been there. Gibb River Road is even more remote than the Fitzroy Crossing route.
You made it to Fitzroy crossing!! Woot woot!
Good to see you made it over the bridge and have completed the big lap. Well done guys. Crater looks amazing. The things you learn about your own country. Enjoy the rest of the trip.
Must admit - spluttered my coffee with the “who’s Mick?” “You don’t wanna know” bit.
Lived in the APY Homelands in NW SA in 80/81. I remember driving away from the community and standing alone in the bush. The only sound was the stirring of the desert oaks ruffled by a breeze that had passed over hundreds of km from the West. Cheveyo is spot on about the smell of the bush "beyond the fences" I miss those times out there. Thanks for letting people experience our beautiful country vicariously.
That drone shot of the crater was magnificent & one of your most intriguing ones, for me, that you have done here in Oz…
I loved seeing the Wedge-Tailed Eagles 🦅
Breath taking photography at sunset over the crater! The entire episode was cool . See you in the next one.
Enjoying following along on your trip. The noisy birds were probably corellas, always lots of them and real loud. The pink and grey ones are galahs, ga-laaas not gala like a film premiere!
6:45 once again the drone shots are magnificent 👏👏👏 11:40 yep actually what happened to me at Karijini! 14:15 Fantastic footage! Love a wedge tailed eagle! 22:23 couldn't really see the next 30 secs of footage coz I had some dust in my eyes 🥲PS get some closed boots 🙃
They look like they are planted upside down and the branches are roots. Huge trees and I didn’t know they were so ancient. Have you seen bottle trees yet?
Al and I are at Fitzroy Crossing tonight. Loved Tia sneaking over to the Boab. I was surprised to see how many there are ❤
The sign on the fence was brilliant 😂 I lost it when Tia said Whos Mickm
I hope you make some damper on one night your camping. It’s good.
Also corner by Allie moss is my favourite song. I know most people won’t like it but it resonates with me.
Also thank you for not showing other people, the internet can be very harsh and it’s good that you’re protecting them from that.
Thank you for showing Australia to Australians. A lot of people have never and more than likely will never see the beautiful places you have taken us to.. so once again thank you.
Many thanks for the respect and appreciation for our great outback. Am really enjoying your bright and cheery videos. enjoy the remainder of your time in Australia, and hope you get to return some time in the future.
It's a real stark beauty in those areas. The evenings/sunsets are almost a spiritual experience. Congrats on the crossing, and the postcard looks fantastic!
I love your videos - I could never travel that long myself, so I love living vicariously through you both - thank you ❤
Okay not going to lie I've watched a lot of aussie travel shows but nothing hits quite right showing off my country like you guys. Much love from Melbourne.
Bonjour, merci pour toutes vos excellentes videos. Bon voyage en Australie
It's all about the Fitsroy Crossing, you did it congrat's guys.
Congratulations guys, well done🎉❤
I'm really happy you didn't meet Mick😧😧😧😧Thank you for another beautiful video.
Wolfe Creek Crater is surprisingly beautiful. I went there in a Ford Falcon wagon about 25 years ago. It was peak dry season at the time and the lake in the middle was dry. But that allowed us to walk across the crater across the bottom, going straight across the middle of the lake. We also stopped and walked around the abandoned cattle station buildings that you did. This video brought back a lot of memories for me.
