Trivia fact ladies ... Perth is the most isolated city in the world.
Hi girls. This was awesome. We don't have private beaches that I know of in Australia. You can camp in lots of places in Australia. Check out other beautiful places in Australia such as Sydney, Gold Coast and Port Douglas and the Daintree Forest.
Please please PLEASE check out a song about birds. It's one of the most Aussie videos you will ever see
As to your comments about British people's interest in Australia. Many British people including me have family in Australia and are interested in the country. I have been there a few times and I recommend anyone to go. If you have family in Australia then that makes it special.
We are trying to find a Bird video, no luck yet but will keep looking
Billy Connolly did a road trip across Australia on a trike. That was fun. I learned more watching that than I did at school. Such a majestically beautiful country.
His New Zealand one was great
And, the "Big Yin" got naked and danced around in nature at end of each episode. Billy is an un official Australian. After all he's married to Pamela Stephens.
@@peterdawes1868 Pamela Stephenson is a Kiwi technically, but did grow up in Australia
So I started my flying career out of Caboolture where he went gliding and just down the road is the place where the houses are for sale that he was pissing himself laughing about. The ones they transport to you. Still there!
I was born in Geraldton and spent most of my childhood in Carnarvon and the surrounding Gascoyne district, on remote sheep stations, ( ranches ). Back in the 50's and 60's, I think Carnarvon was one of the most unique places in the whole state of WA. It was a seaport, an important hub for all of the surrounding sheep stations and the wool they produced, ( we once lived a mere 120 miles from town! ), was an important fishing industry hub and had a whaling station, a soft drink factory and was the centre of many thriving market gardens, producing beans, bananas, pumpkins and many other crops and had many small and large transport businesses.
It was a great place to be a kid in back in those days.
Biggest problem with Australia is not enough time to do stuff. It's so vast and you could spend weeks around a single area taking it all in. Stunning!
We took a camper trailer and did a "half-lap" of Australia. The West Coast was even more stunning IRL than in videos. We camped in mostly National Parks in WA - so well set up, relatively cheap, always clean, and let us explore the natural beauty of each area. As you said, this is just a glimpse, and further north of the Coral coast is even more breathtaking - check out the Kimberley region 😍
Good advice for the whole trip🎉
I live here it's wonderful a relaxed pace of life, the best beaches in Australia, Rottnest and the Quokas, never ending sunshine, ningaloo reef, wonderfully isolated at times.. So much to see
N&D definitely have to do a video on the Quokas. they are so unbelievably cute lol
Made some tennis player, really famous 👏 😳
Western Australia is so beautiful, I lived in Mandurah and Canarvon for 30 years and now in Lovely Tasmania.
Mandurah used to be a gorgeous seaside town,it’s sacrilege that they turned into another Gold Coast
@@juliebird5307 as i live in Mandurah, i totally agree with you, and now we have so many problems because of it.
@@doommonger7784 well we now have over 100k pop and as for the problems, we had a major who got rid of alot of family fun business so we have alot of kids running around with nothing to do, we also don't have enough jobs for the city, a housing problem with too many houses going up for sale and noone bying them and also the worst part a hugh meth problem.
Glad you'll be doing more Aussie reaction videos 😊 It's a huge continent with a much more diverse landscape & climate than most ppl overseas realise.
Natasha: don't worry about swearing; we do it all the time 😅
You can camp near some beaches for a small fee, depending on local govt regulations & facilities. Best to check with the relevant council/shire (our equivalent of US counties) before you travel.
Natasha, "You guys have a lot of sharks!" As an Aussie, let me break that down for you, Nat!
According to the Florida Museum of Natural History, the total number of shark attacks worldwide in 2022 was 57. Of these, the US led the way with 41, with Australia coming in second at 9. South Africa and Egypt had a few each. Interestingly, the majority of the US attacks occurred in Florida, so forget Florida, eh! Rather, Australia, with its endless beaches and many thousands of happy beach-going residents, looks to be the safe pick, I would reckon. Not to mention the fact that with "endless beaches", you can have a whole beach to yourself if you want. Dig in, set up camp, go native. No-one will bother you.
I grew up not four hundred yards away from a Sydney beach, Maroubra bay. I spent most of my youth surfing every day, well, every day all day in fact. Saw a few shark's in that time. Usually a "grey nurse",. They eat fish and don't care about humans at all so, we never worried about them because, they didn't bother us. But, if it was a tiger shark or a hammerhead. we'd get out of the water because, they have a reputation for attacking swimmer's, surfers and even the propellers of boat's.
@Peter Dawes I lived in maroubra as a kid, loved walking to the beach on weekends and swimming there.
The top three animals for the most deaths in Australia are cattle, horses and dogs.
As a South Australian "Aussie" who has been to all but 2 states, i can say that I Love my home land. Every state/territory has its own beauty and it doesn't grow old. In South Australia my favourite place is the Yorke Peninsula, you can drive and camp on the beach in certain areas for a small fee.
Just a heads up - that massive shark you saw (the ones you can swim with) is a whale shark, they're completely harmless to humans - gentle giants. Really sweet animals. Not all sharks want to eat us, only most of them. lol. Love your discovery of our great land, can't wait to see more! 😃
There are no private beaches in Australia. All beaches up to the highest tide mark are public. You should check out the Bungle Bungles rock formations. Absolutely stunning.
Purnululu, that's the indigenous name.
@@cgkennedy Thanks for that information. The indigenous names should always come first.
I lived in WA for around 15 years and loved it. The weather south of the Tropic of Capricorn is dry and north of it gradually grows more humid unless you are well inland where it’s desert. Summer temperatures are high but the low humidity keeps it more bearable.
The flat tree you saw at the beginning was at Greenough (pronounced gren-uff) where the wing blows so strongly that the young trees are blown sideways and end up growing that way.
Whale sharks are harmless, they are huge but they eat shrimp and plankton which is why people swim with them.
Shell Beach isn’t too bad if you have tough feet from regularly going barefoot, I loved it because it was so peaceful and the water is crystal clear. Although I think my favourite WA beach is Lucky Bay near Esperance.
I’ve done a lot of road trips around WA in both my medium size 4WD and in a rented RV and it would depend where you want to go which is best. It’s great having your accommodation with you and being able to stop at a rest area (usually just an area cleared of trees and scrub that you park off the highway with no facilities) and have everything at hand to rest comfortably but the downside is the rental companies won’t let you take them off-road or sometimes even on unsealed roads unless you go for the really expensive off road models. Accommodation in some of the remoter places can be hit or miss. If you like camping a 4WD towing a camper trailer could be a good compromise for exploring areas that are off the main highway.
I hope this helps.
The food here in Australia is as diverse as the population, you get Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean Japanese,Thai,Italian, Greek and many more. Plenty to choose from.
I was thinking the same thing, I live not far from Cabramatta for various Asian and there is plenty of Indian and middle eastern, lots of Italian, it’s hard to pin down any one type of cuisine in Australia these days
I live in Perth, Western Australia. Thank you for watching and reacting to this. I love my country! 😁👍🇦🇺
New subscriber here. Would love for you to react to the song "I Am Australian" by the Seekers (farewell performance). This song will give you a bit of a history lesson on what it means to be Australian, and what is Australia, a good place to start. Cheers.
their farewell performance is epic. Guaranteed goosebumps and tears (or at least a lump in the throat)
I second this! Many describe this song as our 'unofficial national anthem'
And the QANTAS advertisement for another view of pink coloured lakes/water. I don't know where that was filmed but stunning.
Hey guys, just found your channel. As a West Aussie living in Geraldton, this video did a great job showing some of the coastal landscapes we have. If only the woman narrating it knew how to pronounce all the place names properly! Dongara is pronounced "Dong-grah", not "Don-gah-rah". The leaning tree you commented on is between Dongara and Geraldton - the westerly wind is so strong and salty here that the trees grow away from it, leading to them bending over, some to great extremes.
The one mile jetty in Carnarvon is only for walking. It has old rail lines on it from when it was used to load ships back in the day.
Kalbarri got hit pretty hard by Cyclone Seroja a couple of years ago, with power being out for weeks, and many buildings damaged and destroyed.
The wildflowers can be amazing at the right time of year, but it is illegal to pick them, so no touching!
There are lots of camping opportunites around WA. Many campsites these days have been "upgraded" to have designated parking areas and facilities, but it does mean it's getting harder to find spots to really camp isolated and away from everyone. Campfires are generally banned from December to March each year, due to the fire risk, with the emergency services sometimes declaring other total fire ban days if necessary.
PRONUNCIATIONS:
Hamelin Pool is pronounced as "Ham-lin", not "Hammer-lin".
Kalbarri is pronounced "Kal-ba-ree", not "Call-bah-ree".
Abrolhos is pronounced "Uh-Broll-us", not however she said it.
Cervantes is pronounced "Ser-van-tees".
You dont need to worry about the sharks: Saltwater crocodiles ate them all! She glossed over the stromatolites very quickly. They are largely responsible for creating the atmosphere that all life on earth enjoys today (see Bill Bryson's Australia book). Thanks for uploading, ladies. 😎😁
Go to exmouth and u will see hundreds of sharks lol
Wonderful Aussie humour 😀
Brit down under here. Yeah, Aussie birds are amazing. I’ve lived here for a few years now and I’m still thrilled by the sight and sound of rainbow lorikeets in the trees outside my local shops and the sulphur crested cockatoos and galahs in the nearby park, and Australian magpies in the trees outside our house. We even had a kookaburra visit the backyard once, in inner city Melbourne. It feels magical, and I see something that makes me feel like that every day. But of course you can see more if you take a road trip out into the country. You’d be almost certain to see one or two of Australia’s famously weird animals in a week out on the road.
I love Western Australia and have been there several times and as a state its totally beautiful .I say this noting the differences in landscape and life style which is laidback compared to Melbourne where I live . Melbourne is probably one of the most livable cities with a European flavor and is made up of people from 150 nationalities and the languages and dialects that go with it .
Thank you ladies for showcasing my beautiful state to your international viewers. Hope to see you here sometime soon.
Its my state :)
Western Australia is a biodiversity hotspot, there are supposed to be more wildflowers here than anywhere else and people make trips for wildflower season from all over the world.
There are no private beaches in Australia they're Crown land.
It is popular for camping to have a roof rack with a pop-up tent on your vehicle (usually a 4wd)so you don't have any problems with creepy crawlies
Also just so you know, whale sharks are completely harmless. They have no teeth and cannot bite nor chew. They're filter feeders like whales, hence their name. They're the gentle giants of the ocean 🙂
To explore Australia would take years. It has some breath taking sites that the majority of Australians would not see in their life time, most preferring to jump on a plane and jet off to Bali or beyond, not realizing what their own country has to offer. As for sharks, I believe certain parts of America have the same ankle biters as we do.
You spend A LOT less in Bali so you can have a longer holiday, even with the airfair
I’m stoked that you saw this, as Western Australia is my home state, so I’m very proud. You’re right, it’s such a large state, you cannot cover it in 10 days. For instance, at 13:47 on your video the people are seen eating oysters right from the rocks. I’ve done this. If you want to see how big WA is, there are maps showing how big it is juxtaposed to Europe. I love your content. Keep up the good work, Geoff from Fremantle, Western Australia 🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed my state , as a West Aussie I couldn't be happier when people enjoy the attractions I call home . Great job girls love your content .
check out Australia's lyre bird. It will blow your mind!
Definitely!
Several years ago I drove around Australia on my own. I visited and stayed at most of the places in this video. I had a tent. Since I was on my own I didn't do free camping (in places beside the road). I stayed in caravan parks or at motels mostly. If I was staying in a place for more than 2 or 3 nights I would use the tent. If it was just overnight I'd mostly opt for a motel. I rarely booked ahead but that would depend on how busy the accommodation was in the area at the time. School holiday times it would be safest to prebook. Prices vary but camping could be done from as little as $10 a night up to about $45 a night depending on the location. Motel rooms were usually around $100 a night but could be up to around $200 depending on the location and time of year. I drove from north to south during Spring and Summer. I wanted to photograph the wildflowers. If you're interested in some bird videos I make videos of birds in a local lake in Brisbane. It is mostly photos with occasional short recorded video. I narrate telling what I know about the birds which often isn't much and there is music. Depending on the time of year the birds include pelicans, black swans, various water birds, cormorants, ducks, egrets, swamp hens, Eurasian Coots, dusky moorhens, and a few others. THere are often cockatoos flying around and tiny fairy wrens occasionally show themselves briefly. I have been enjoying your videos. I'd love to do another drive around the country but right now that isn't looking likely to happen.
In Western Australia (WA) the north is beautiful and the gold fields of the west stunning and full of history of the gold rush but the South is my favourite and is so gorgeous from down Bunbury, Busselton and it’s jetty to Margaret River, the wine area, famous for art galleries and surf festivals to Augusta and it’s lighthouse and where the two oceans meet. You can camp pretty much anywhere in WA. And you can eat pretty much any food as Australia is a multicultural country the variety of food is amazing. Love your videos. I live in Perth the most isolated city in the world and love my state of Western Australia. We have a dry Mediterranean climate with only a few humid days. Allergies are only bad on high pollen days or I find as an asthma sufferer when there are bushfires close and the air is smoky. There is so much to see here in our state and it is all beautiful. Have fun watching the videos. I have also lived in New South Wales and Queensland but the humidity in those states I found difficult.
at 5:29 you asked about the food scene. I’m a chef based in Albany (south coast of Western Australia). Our food is very influenced by a number of different country’s including the UK, USA, as well as bushtucker.. though I would say a large part of our diet consists of seafood and lamb. We have some of the best in the world of both, not to mention the incredible quality of our beef
Edit: it’s a shame that they only really did the Gascoyne region.. there is so much more to this beautiful state then what they’ve shown
Hello ladies, Australia is rough, rugged and beautiful. We think we have something special and happy to share it with our visitors so they can say Wow.
Well we will say it, WOW, WOW, WOW!! Australia is incredible! Looking much forward to seeing and learning as much as possible ♥️
As a born and raised Victorian, I would love to visit the west coast one day. Thanks for sharing this video, even some of us Australians haven't seen that part of the country yet. :)
I was born in Mornington
And grew up in Margaret River x love to see you here one-day
Mate do it I'm from Melbourne it's amazing we drove from Perth to monkey Mia
My parents are born and raised from Gippsland. My grandparents came to WA for a holiday and just didn't go back, then My parents followed across the Nullabor with a 1 month old and didn't go back to Vic either!
We went to Victoria a few years ago for the first time and the Lakes entrance area is very similar to the south West
My partner is from Western Victoria. I've done 32 Nullarbor crossings, five of them with her. If you truly want the full experience, do it with a road trip. Things to remember:
-Install a two way radio
-buy several jerry cans (so that you can avoid the more extreme end of the fuel prices)
-Give yourself at least three days if you're in a hurry, or more than a week if you're not
-The quarantine checkpoint between South Australia and Western Australia looks more like the border between Canada and Mexico. Remember to eat or throw out any furit, vegeatables or honey before approaching the checkpoint.
There is a LOT to see along the way. If you have no particular timetable, when you reach the end of the Eyre Highway, turn south and visit Esperance for a day or two
@@Mechknight73 My family originally hail from Echuca/Moama but moved to Western Australia in 1949 because my grandmother apparently couldn't stand the cold anymore. I crossed the Nullarbor with my parents many times as a kid for trips back to Victoria on Christmas school holidays. I even did the unsealed 'rough stuff' three times although I can only remember the third time. That was Christmas 1975 when I was 7. When I'd do the trips with my uncle and aunt he did it in 3 days from Northam to Echuca. He was always loaded with jerry cans even back in the late 70s to bypass the price of fuel along the Nullarbor. A big difference between my uncle behind the wheel and when I'd do the trip with my mother. She'd take 10 days to the same destination and even longer coming home. That's a fair whack of time out of the school holidays. She claims she just wanted to have a look around. The truth was she had no time management skills. We have flown over every time since 1986 so I haven't seen the Nullarbor for quite a while. We always had a sticker across the back window of our car that read _We Crossed The Nullarbor_ ...
Glad you like Australia it’s a great place to live and visitors are always welcome. When you have a look at Tasmania it’s completely different to the rest of Australia and you will see why. Look forward to your next video.
My home state, its big and its gorgeous. There are some nice videos about Perth (the capital of the state) and check out the south west of the state, Margaret River is wine country and Dunsborough with the beaches and Albany with the historic sites. I love our state, when we drove east it took 2 1/2 days to get out of WA but the country side was amazing.
Your home state is absolutely stunning 😍
I took my wife " American from colorado". From busselton to exmouth with our 3 kids in April shame she didn't know how to swim I was swimming with reef sharks and turtles. Got to see the turtle hatching was an amazing trip I got to show my wife and kids in my own country. I have never seen her smile so much
hey girls, this must be an old video, i live in kalbarri and the skywalk has been open for two years now. it is remarkable. unfortunately rainbow jungle was flattened by cyclone seroja in 2021 and will not be rebuilt. we have almost finished rebuilding the town and hope you can visit one day
You guys should check out the Pilbara. I live in the Pilbara, and am lucky enouygh to be just 6 hours drive away from the beautiful Coral coast. I live on the traditional lands of the Ngarluma (pronounced nulouma) and I used to say G'day all the time, but now I greet people with Wayiba (pronounced wayba) which is the traditional Ngarluma greeting. We have beautiful things to see here too, including the beautiful red dirt. And of course we were home to the famous Red dog. :)
G'day Guys! WA is gorgeous and HUGE!!!! Remember it is nearly 4 times the size of Texas and goes from temperate in the south to tropical the north...Beaches are not private and there are local camping grounds in and around towns while many people still just pitch a tent in the many designated other areas...If and when you decide to visit us you will NEED heaps of time...Australia is almost the same size as continental USA minus Alaska...Huge! Cheers!
I live in Exmouth and it's a beautiful town. You need about a week really. It has beautiful beaches, turtle watching, snorkelling, and really nice reef.
The whale sharks aren't dangerous, they eat plankton, and can't chew, so humans are definitely off the menu. We also have whale watching, great fishing, microlight aerial tours... heaps of great options.
No crocodiles here! So the waters are pretty safe.
And the gorges are really nice too. The yardie creek boat tour is very relaxing.
If you ever make it to Australia... you can't miss Exmouth!
'That makes my heart happy' what a lovely phrase. I must remember it.
My great uncle was on the HMAS Sydney, so when it was finally found it was amazing
I have 2 family name sakes still on duty with HMAS Sydney. My daughter was doing her motion graphics degree at Curtin University, when the magnificent underwater scenes of her and RNS Kormoran lay at rest.
Western Australia is my home state. The variation between the northern coast to the southern tip is massive. As a truck driver that gets around a lot of it, I've seen a lot of it. Exmouth is like a miniature Great Barrier Reef, but without the density of tourists. If you're really into food and wine, look up the Swan Valley and Margaret River. MArgaret River is known for three specific things; food, wine and surfing.
The HMAS Sydney memorial in Geraldton, you'll note the seagull silhouettes. There are 645 of them, representing all the sailors that were lost at sea.
If you stay overnight in Geraldton, to the south is the Greenough River. There is a caravan park there for accommodation, When I lived in Geraldton, it was where I'd go for the peace and quiet
The tour missed the Pinnacles, which is in Nambung National Park, near Jurien Bay. It's less than two hours north of Perth The landscape is unique.
Badgingarra National Park has one very big drawcard: in spring, it's home to wildflowers seen nowhere else in the world.
In Carnarvon, you'll see some plantations where they will let people buy fruit direct from the plantation. Their main crop is bananas.
Even in Perth, you will see flocks of rainbow lorikeets, pink and grey galahs, twentyeight parrots (so named because that's what their call sounds like they're saying) black cockatoos, corellas and the odd Kookaburra (look up each of them to note each of them. They're all as common as pigeons around the skyscrapers) Out on the highway you'll see wild budgerigars (what Americans call parakeets) and wedge tailed eagles from the road.
If you like lobster, you'll find plenty of places to find it in the fishing season.
After you get to about Carnarvon, you will see these giant round lumps of "clay." They're not, they're giant termite mounds.
If you can find one, look out for a Goldfields or "inland" tour. The Goldfields "captial" would be Kalgoorlie, but from Perth to Kalgoorlie, there are so many things to see. Museums, landscapes, towns, ghost towns and camp grounds.. For a while I was commuting between Perth and Kalgoorlie (400 miles one way) and I took the time to stop and cheak out a lot of things on the way. So much to see even in those 400 miles, there's no way you can do it all in one day.
Kalgoorlie wears its history on its sleeve. 130 years of gold mining and still going. On the edge of town is the Superpit, one of the biggest gold mines in the world.
If you headed north from Kalgoorlie, you will find a ghost town not unlike Bodie in California. Near to Leinster, which today is a nickel mining town, Gwalia was a gold town. The place is so intact that there are still plates on the dining table and cutlery in the drawer.
My American cousins visited Australia, and were fascinated with the native flora and fauna. We just took for granted what they found awesome! We had rainbow lorikeet parrots sitting on our back fence and they raced to take photos of them. They're just there every day to us, but when you stop and take a good look at them, they are pretty amazing really colourful birds...
I did a road trip from Perth to Monkey Mia, Monkey Mia was amazing and it definitely was not that busy (we were there last week of the season), we had a cabin on the beach, fed the dolphins and swam with them too, I recommend Rottnest Island too with the cute Quokka's, we also headed south of Perth to Freemantle, WA is a place I wanted to emigrate too as my husband has family there but life threw us a curve ball, but a least I've been there a couple of times
I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that they drove right past Shark B
ay. What a crime that it wasn't in the video. Also the way they pronounced Dongara was weird.
I just discovered your channel and subscribed! I have lived in WA, since 2003, after many, many years living and working in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Malaysia. Absolutely love it and what it gives to us, We love the wild flowers in the Spring from September through October, where the kaleidoscope carpets of flowers, cover some hundreds (if not), thousands of square kilometers. What I missed on this short video of the Coral and Batavia Coast, was the spectacular clifftops and coastlines, just from Kalbarri itself, Over my lifetime, I have lived and worked throughout Australia as well. I grew up in a town on the Barrier Highway, which goes from Adelaide to the famous mining city, of Broken Hill. At the time, before the rail line standardisation, 200 people lived there, but now, only 5 people reside. Aussie is vast distances., great history, a multi-cultural and diverse population of all nations on earth. I will always love the bush and the hard working people and characters, whom live and work in the outback. It never leaves your heart and your blood, We really are "The Lucky Country."
G’day, West Aussies are colloquially called Sandgropers (each state has a nickname here). I’ve been all the way from Eucla to Kununurra and all places in between. Being brought up in the Central Wheatbelt. It’s pronounced Dong..ga..ra not Don..gar..ra. Fish and chips is a go to meal. There are two ways up through the Pilbara but only one road from Port Hedland to Darwin. It’s a three day, 8 hr per day drive from Perth to Halls Creek…
Natasha here, I'm OBSESSED with Mushy Peas thanks to our British friends, are they a thing there too? If so, popular?
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow in Adelaide, South Australia they have a thing called a pie floater which consists of a meat pie in a thick pea soup covered in tomato sauce first created in the 1890’s, but mushy peas are mainly from the UK
btw South Australia is the place where crows fly backwards *grin*
I live in Geraldton. Love my city.
This has missed a LOT of beautiful places, especially between Geraldton and Carnarvon.
The trees are on the Greenough (Gren nuff) Flats, between Dongara and Geraldton. They lean over like that because of the southerly winds that blow. We are one of the windiest places on Earth, wind and kite surfing are huge here😁
No, it doesn't hurt to to walk she'll beach.
What can i say but WOW WOW WOW soooo beautiful , that is top of my bucket list , im so jealous of the people that live there , loved your reaction to this , please please do more on this amazing country . lots of love as always .
Moved to WA 27 years ago and love it
15:49 my husband and I love birds as well. We have an array of different families of birds that visit us daily for a feed. We live in WA and just love it. 😊
Corten (rusty steel) is being used more and more in architecture, even to clad skyscrapers, because rust is a natural Earth colour. Our company has been installing it in the last few years.
Snorkelling in Exmouth is something everyone should do once in their lifetime. At times you are so close to the beautiful reef you have to swim around the coral as it’s so close to the surface. Lots of colourful fish and turtles, no sharks as it’s protected by reef further out toward the ocean. But Exmouth gets hot 42-43 degrees make sure you have air con in your car/camper.
Hi Natasha & Debbie, I'm from beautiful Perth, West Australia and as much as the north coral cost is stunning, you SERIOUSLY need to see the south west coast, Margaret River, Denmark, Walpole & Pemberton. I am a tree lover which sounds like Debbie is too, and I just adore heading south of Perth it is extremely amazing and you would be so awed by it's beauty, Please when you can check out videos on The South West of WA you will surely be surprised. Love you girls and hope one day you can join us Aussies here in our beautiful country. ❤❤❤❤
And further south- Denmark, Albany & Esperance
At my home at the moment - on a farm southern New South Wales - it is Rosey season for sure - that is 'Rosellas' - on my back lawn only yesterday there were over a dozen beautiful Rosey's - their colours are just stunning - and quite often we get a few lovely green parrots as well.
I grewup in the Blue Mountains. Worth exploring for a few days.
There's also the Dandenong Ranges.
AND Cradle Mountain national park
Can't wait for you to have a look along our gorgeous Coast.
Hopefully you will also do Rottnest Island for not only it's beautiful bays & beaches,but also for the Quokkas( voted world's friendliest animals)..a small marsupial like a kangaroo.
And also a trip through Margaret Rivers famous wine region & surf spots, & then onto the most stunning beaches in Australia!!, at Cape Le Grand, in Esperance. Hellfire Bay, Lucky Bay with kangaroos on the beach, & plenty more.
That's a small taste of WA anyway ladies 🙃
✌️❤️
been to the island of Rottnest, hired a bicycle, and rode around the island the Quokkas are friendly
Australia is such a diverse country from it's people ,It's landscapes from Tropical north to the Snowy south.The animals ,the birds & the worst part is so many of us Aussies have never ventured to most other states & just have to rely on watching Videos that other people have made about this magnificent country .Believe me you will never see everything in one Holiday. I do hope the both of you can experience it for yourselves one day.
These are so much better than the official travel information videos
Those Kalbarri lookouts are constructed with Core10 steel. The significance of this is that the very material they are built from is designed to rust on the surface and then seal up, so the rust does not penetrate the structure, and like you said, it blends in with the landscape.
That bird is a pink and grey parrot called a Galah (ga-lah), a name sometimes applied to Aussies who act silly such as a crazy dance in the street. “What are you doing, Billy, ya silly galah!”
Whoever hid the duck today BRAVO!!👏👏👏😁
Some of the best beaches in the world are in WA, and the coral reefs are very under rated . Those big whale sharks are gentle giants and dont hurt anyone . As far as food is concerned Australia's multi cultural population means you can get any kind of food from Polish to Korean . The thing about the food is its almost always high quality because its locally grown and fresh . Our fruits and sea food are stand outs that most people from over seas comment on.
We don't doubt that one bit! We live nowhere near the Ocean, so "fresh" seafood is only something we get when on vacation to any coast.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow Oh and I forgot the wine . We have some of the worlds best wines and are the fourth biggest exporter of wine . Even our cheapest wines are better than some other countries wines . By the way Australia invented the wine in a box , along with dozens of other great inventions you wouldn't realise were Aussie . We also have outstanding cheese to go with the wine.
On another note Im putting together a little gift box for you two , will take a couple of weeks to get to you though .
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow 85% of Australians live within 50 miles of the coast so "fresh" seafood is the norm for us.
my fav debbie quote so far " its amazing how the world works" could not agree more
In 1985 we drove from Melbourne to Perth and then up the whole WA coast and on to Darwin. Stayed in Darwin for 6 months and then drove down the middle via Alice Springs back to Melbourne. Much of the Darwin to Adelaide road was unpaved and it was the start of the wet season. Grateful that we made it through the rivers of mud.
So nice to see my home state shown in such beauty..
W.A is huge can fit the uk in it a few times..
So much to see..
I live in the South West region of peel..
Will take you beach fishing overnight if you ever visit
The feeling is mutual.... we love your channel... and we're really pleased that you are learning about our country... the good and the bad !! ...
I realise watching your videos I'm lucky to have visited and lived in so many beautiful places in Australia.From living in the Central coast NSW n hot barren Perth WA. I've tracked the Kalbarri gorges circumnavigated Dirk Hartog Island on two 5 day fishing trips. Tell ya what don't fall in the water out there, MASSIVE sharks. Fished Kalbarri. Surfed the South West and seen massive trees in Manjimup, surf tripped from NSW south coast all the way up to Noosa Heads. Hitch hiked the Nullarbor Sydney to Perth and driven or buses 3 more times. Snowboarded in perfect NSW ski fields and as a child growing up in Perth snorkeled out to Penguin Island etc etc .... Australia is a vast and beautiful place so hope you get to visit. But be warned the coral coast is a long drive from Perth and it is vast hot dusty and barren. Last up ..that tree growing horizontally is at Geraldton and it's because the wind gets so strong so often they grow like that, it's a top ten world windsurfing area. I knew people who's farm is from the highway down to Coronation beach a large wheat and sheep farm.
Natasha & Debbie, all I have to say is : YOU ARE BOTH GOING TO LOVE IT HERE :
If you visit and do a similar trip to this one, go in May, June or July. The weather is cooler but still warm with less humidity.
Bore da ladies!,Happy St Davids Day!/Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus! from Old South Wales!🏴🇺🇸🇦🇺
As a born and bred West Aussie, i have to say great video, and also to tell you all that was like 1/4th of the coastline of the wonderful WA, that is just one of the things i love about our great state is there is just so much to do and see. I think if you want to explore all of WA it probably take more then a month and you didnt even see the south of perth which is just as if not more beautiful. but it is great that you are falling in love with our wonderful country and i love your videos cannot wait for your next one.
New to your channel, you guys ROCK, as an Aussie I am honoured that you guys are shining a light on Oz! Us Aussies will have your back all the way! Natasha, you cracked me up watching you eat vegemite.
I've driven all over Australia, several times. I've been to Carnarvon, it's not much a of town. Hahahaha! But the whole west coast is really something to see. It's so diverse and so different and so stunning. It's not to be missed. Most Aussie travel the east coast and forget the west coast, but it's a wondrous place.
You guys are brilliant!
Great video. Personally Kalbarri my pick of the bunch as it is a stunning place. Down south whilst vastly different is unbelievable also. So much wilderness in WA with lots and lots and lots of fresh air and lack of built up area's.
Best state in the country….I did this same trip last year,fantastic experience.
Western Australia get visitors from not only around Australia but the world just to view our wildflowers, sometimes fields of pink, yellow or purple from September to November.
I’m Australian and Australia is the best country in the whole entire world and it’s beautiful too
I live in Geraldton and the tree is called the Leaning Tree at Greenough. We get really strong winds and the trees have grown along the ground to cope with the winds over time. This is why people come to Geraldton for kite surfing. This is an old video as Geraldton has had a lot of development and we have a population around 48,000 now. Dongara is 50 minutes from Geraldton not 30 minutes. It is 4 hrs and 39 minutes drive from Perth to Geraldton. It is a beautiful place to live. You should do a video on the “Emu Wars” in Western Australia it’s hilarious. Spoiler= the emus win! It’s a real historic event in early 20th century.
The bent over trees are like that because of the winds which come off the coast. They are not a specific tree. They are also near to Don-gra, not Don-gara, where hubby and I have retired. Wonderful little town.
I lived there for 7 years loved every moment. The wildlife is stunning.
The other half of Western Australia's coast is just as amazing.
Our biggest problem with allergies is through spring with all the pollen, mostly from the flowering wattle. It is beautiful but plays havoc with hayfever.
Yep, lived in Perth for couple of years as a kid. That was the worst I have ever suffered from hayfever. Still, the wildflowers are spectacular in spring.
Idk the foreign plane trees are a pain- especially if your local cockatoos roll in. 😅
My favorite place in Australia is Perth so far away from the rest of Australia. It does have a number of snakes, sharks and spiders that are best left alone. It is such a diverse country and we'll worth a visit. My daughter moved there from Dubai after landing a job, my son in law is Australian. About 15yrs ago l was offered a job in Paramatta not as pretty as the western coast but still a nice place. I didn't go because of other commitments and regret it. The blue mountains are a very nice place miles away from Perth but we'll worth a visit.
yay I love birds too!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come to Australia - we have so many places to bird watch and even interact with them
Wa is dry hot, especially areas in this video. But if you go south you will find a totally different landscape, cooler weather and forrests. And some even more incredible beaches. Our coastline is remarkable.
G’day. You Two are sooooo beautiful. You’re in for a treat discovering Australia. Well done!
So many kinds of wildflowers in WA, more variety than anywhere else on the Island continent. And they keep finding new ones, it's still a big place to discover, even for Botanists. Some will cause allergies. Most will not.
There’s more to see further up the coast as well. Look up “Horizontal Falls”, where the tide flows between canyons from ocean in, and back out again; the force of water makes it look just as described, a horizontal waterfall.
We moved to Perth as a family 18 years and me and my wife did a very similar trip in an RV a few years ago. Stunning things to see but be prepared for long drives in between places. The dirt roads can be fun but many have Corrugations on them and it can be like driving over a very large and drawn out cattle grid. :)
If you ever come to Perth our door is always open :)
I lived in the town Denham that was on the video for a couple of years running the local pub. It's a beautiful part of the world as you have seen in the video.
These structures were built with core 10 steel, because core 10 will rust on the surface and that seal's the surface and it rust's no more. This allows the structures to blend in with the landscape, without distracting from it.
The pink & grey birds are Galahs. I live in Central Queensland and yesterday temperatures was 35 degrees Celsius, 95f for you and we are just in autumn now. There is so much camping here. Have a look at The Daintree Rainforest in North Queensland
The red rust colour of the platforms that jut out over the cliffs are part of Australia's natural landscape. Beyond the Great Dividing Range the sunsets are a mixture from orange to red to purple because of the the iron ore which of course is rust reddish brown coloured. We produce the most iron ore in the world, 35% & many billions of tonnes remain.
Btw, those sunsets are worth looking at which you'll realise when you come here.
I’m a Black country lad that now calls Western Australia my home lived here for 15 years and it’s stunning I’ve visited all those places shell beach is out of this world
Excellent video ( if a little quick ) I live in Geraldton which is shown on day 1 and 2 and can confirm it is as stunning as it looks , winter is nice and sunny with temperatures about 22-25c with summer being hot and sunny with temperatures from 30-45c , nice laid back lifestyle
Been to all those places in the video and they are amazing,
People overseas think Sydney and Melbourne are Australia but it's the places like those shown that are the REAL Australia 🇦🇺
I live in Western Australia and my favourite place is the south-west of the state in the Margaret River region. I don't drink but it's famous for wineries, restaurants and beaches. Maybe you'll be able to check it out one day. Yes, allergies and hay fever are very common here, maybe because of the dry climate.
In July/August my wife and I will be doing a driving holiday through WA. The route I’ve plotted will cover approximately 12,000 kms (about 7,500 miles) over 4-5 weeks … and we still won’t cover all that there is to see. We have to cut out the entire north west because we just don’t have enough time. West Australia is approx 3.5 times bigger than Texas and approx 1.5 times bigger than Alaska. The rock formations in one of the national parks we will be visiting (Karinjini) are estimated to be about 5+ million years old!
Hi Ladies, if you want to see a more comprehensive view of Australia, try Great Southern Land the video is accompanied by a song of the same name, preformed by the famous Australian band Icehouse, the video is dated but is still impressive. The song is considered by many Aussies as our unofficial national anthem. TC, I am really enjoying getting to watch you fall in love with my country cheers
It's VERY easy to fall in love with your country but we have to say..the incredibly sweet and kind comments we keep getting, are making us fall in love with the people even more! ❤️
LOL. When you said "asphalt jungle" I wasn't immediately sure what I heard 🤣
That was stunning. I've lived in Australia all my life and have not known about a lot of this because it's on the other side of the country. Similar to NY city and Los Angeles. One of my mates drove himself around the entire country camping all the way which took the best part of 2 years. Yes there is so much to see and very unique as well. Don't know if you realise but Australia is almost the same size as the lower 48. BIG 😂😂
