The production quality on all your videos is just brilliant. I also enjoy how you ride that gs500 everywhere and just do it! Thanks for your work in all these videos.
Thanks my friend. I'm enjoying the challenge of making something special when the opportunity presents itself. I can't bring myself to make something 'good enough'!LOL Yep, I love the GS500. Even though it's not designed for much of what I put it through, it keeps stepping up to the line and giving it's best!👍
Love your vid's, you're so genuine. Fantastic history and desolation of our outback. Hard lives back in the day. Much respect to those that went before us.
Great work, so much time and effort to make these videos. Best thing about them though, is you, you’re informative, enthusiastic and full of life. An inspiring woman. Cheers, Brad.
Loving the drone shots, vocal sound tracks and history lessons. Most moto vloggers get an "adventure bike" and travel while you took the bike you had and are taking it on an adventure which, in my books, makes your quest more authentic. Kind regards. 🇨🇦
That made me smile so much. Yes, my bike has had quite an adventure with me! It's really surprised me how much it's capable of. Ultimately, I need to make sure that I have the skills to keep it upright in situations it's really not designed for. I'm finding that bit an adventure too.😉 Oh, and yes, the drone has had quite a workout these past few weeks.👍
Radically good narrative! Excellent history lesson and once again a genuine example of well skilled basic motorcycle adventure with a purpose. Can’t wait for the next episode ;-)
The pleasure is all mine Terri. It makes putting the effort into the videos all worth while when I see people, such as yourself, get value from them.😁👍
Dust to dust ! I've had a few close encounters with both Bald and Golden Eagles and was always left in awe ! Love the drone work of the Ocre Pit ! Yes Gwen you did deliver once again ! Thank You !
Those eagles were just amazing! They were so huge and powerful. To sit on the bike, amongst 4 of them, was a unique experience. I actually have a fear of birds, so for me, it really was an experience!😁 That ocre pit was brilliant hey! It was like standing infront of a rainbow. 🌈
I think it's important my friend. There are lessons we can certainly learn from those who walked this land before us. We are but one piece in a long line of human beings.😉
Hi,love you and your videos, keep up the good work looking out for people who need your help, your amazing, most importantly take care of yourself, hope to meet you one day 🙂💀
The drone shots of the ruins give a great perspective of the remains…. And the various colours of the landscape are so cool 👌 well done on another part of your journey. Safe travels. 🎥🏍
I've certainly given that drone a workout recently! Out here there aren't all of the drone usage restrictions that haunted me in Tasmania. I found that frustrating. Most places you'd want to use a drone, they were prohibited! Here, well, let's just say that there's plenty of scope to create! LOL Well, I'll be back in Tassie in a month or so. Just for a bit. Then back to the mainland. I'll get the bike serviced, grab some of the stuff from storage, get a bit of work done and tour some of the areas I missed out on last time.👍
0:45: In such a very uniquely dry place i would expect or at least hope for an inspiringly entertaining motorcycle adventurer greatly presenting its highlights, peculiarities and its outstanding beauty! Perfect match with this video, i think!
Always glad to see another episode of your motorcycling adventures! Thank you, Gwyneth, for another cool video from the Australian outback! Love the shots of the eagle & snake, the ochre mine & its beautiful colors there, and your exploration of Farina, the ghost town in the middle of nowhere. Sad to see that some people cannot visit a place without leaving an indelible mark behind. We call graffiti "graffilthy" up here in the States. I hear you loud and clear about respect, Gwyneth, oftentimes anymore, people have a lack of it. Thank you again for this wonderful video, and your closing monologue which was certainly heartfelt, and you keep that sweet smile of yours on and the shiny side of your bike up! Safe travels to you!😎😘🏍
Oh Mark, I really enjoyed your wonderful and well thought out comment. I'm really thankful for the time you took to communicate your feelings on it. I'm already onto the next one!😉
I love learning about towns. There's so much more to them than the simple signpost out front of the town. Often a place comes up blank, or is a little boring, but sometimes I hit upon something rather interesting.😉
I imagined the song Dust in Wind (Kansas) playing in the background during your conclusion. I like you even more because of your respectful approach to history and your stance on such things as tagging. Did I hear you correctly....the old police station was flooded out?....in the land of no water? I wonder what was the straw that finally shut the whole place down and who was the last to leave? Often, at least one hermit chooses to stay behind, I think. Oh ya..could do without the snakes. Safe travels.
Ironically yes, the police station did flood. Though rain is VERY scarce out here in the desert, when it does rain, nature does seem to do a good job at it!😁 The Ghan (railway) passed through. Well, the old route did. I walked along some of the old track. That kept the town going for a while longer. But ultimately, that wasn't enough.
In 1864-65, the then surveyor-general, marked a line on the map of South Australia, joining together all the places that had a 10 inch average rainfall. It is called the "Goyder Line", named after him. Below the line was deemed to be suitable for cropping, above the line was only deemed to be suitable for grazing, at best. Unfortunately ?????, around 1876 or so, there was unseasonably good years of rainfall in that area, and pastoralists decided it was eminently suitable for cropping, namely wheat, hence the town of Farina, (which is the Italian name for flour), was established to service the area. All went well for a while, but eventually Mr. Goyder was proved absolutely correct, when Mother Nature had her way, and the country was unable to produce, hence its state today. Cheers.
Beautiful day for riding 🏍️👍. Cool big eagles 🦅. The Farina sign , water tower are still in really good condition. Amazing the old houses are still standing. Yeah seems crazy to harvest grain out there lol. Not a good business plan. The underground bakery is cool.
An amazing find. If only the walls could speak. A story or two to tell and much more secrets of past happenings I’m sure. Cheers for sharing and travel safe 😉🏍💨
YAY! Just finished my "Her Motorcycle Adventures "marathon. I'm all caught up. I really enjoy you taking us from place to place. Your enthusiasm and passion for history along with great footage and your personal comments makes it so interesting. I'm totally with you on the defacing/graffiti of these historic sites. So irresponsible. Now I'm going to sit back and wait for your next video ⏰🙂
I'm really glad that you enjoyed the series! I've really enjoyed the process of making them. The good news is that the next episode is almost ready. Infact I'm editing it at this very moment.😁 It'll be live in about 40 hours or so. I do hope you enjoy that one too!👍😉
Your history commentary is wonderful, one can see that you do your homework beforehand. Congrats on a good tour. Wish someone would do it here in South Africa, there is a monumental amount of history here.. perhaps you should come over and do your thing here..😄😄 blessings from the Kruger Park in South Africa...in the bush veld.
Thanks for the wonderful comment. Yes I like to thoroughly research something before putting together a video. My subscribers (such as yourself) are special to me and I don't want to waste people's time with half cobbled together videos. I'm trying to create content that I, myself, would watch.👍 Ironically, this week, I had the opportunity to chat with the captain of a ship that operates in Africa. He enthralled me with tales of how he needs to travel in a 6 car convoy in some areas of Africa to remain safe! I reckon I'd have a good time in your part of the world, but I suspect I'd need to choose places I ride carefully.😁
@@HerMotorcycleAdventures Wow, thank you for replying. I believe you would have a gas here, obviously there are places that you should avoid however, I would say there are more places to visit than avoid. There are currently 2 ladies here in SA traveling on bikes, namely Itchy Boots and On her Bike and they are having an absolute gas. Take care and thank you for taking the time to reply. Blessings. Schalk pronounced Skalk.😁😁
HMA...totally agree with you......"Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but foot prints" has been my life long motto.....glad we are on the same page.....Oh and it's ok to vent your frustration....it's deserved. enjoy any episode you put up....thank you , cheers
Thanks for this vid. When I visit old places, I often would like to know who the people were who lived there and how life was about. Take care and ride save. 🙋
It does intrigue me Laura. What life was like for the people who inhabited those old homes. What dreams and aspirations did they have, while they were on this earth!🤔
Guess you posted about 6 hours ago Gwyn and its only 6:39 am here and a whopping -3.7 C and had our first snow on Tuesday of six inches or so. Sorta felt warmer watching you explore the buildings (could not have been fun to find firewood). But then I felt my age, no graffiti or writings on my carcass yet! The more you ride sand the body acquires a memory of riding position and it will become easier. IB said its fun riding fast in sand now. How beautiful the land is made more magical by ones self hundreds of K's from another being. Thanks Gwyn, time to watch it again.
Wow that is cold out there! You can have that!❄️ It's been a little warmer over here. I'm currently heading south so that I'm not stuck in the extreme heat over summer. Yer, sand is a challenge on this bike. The front end is pretty heavy and it has a tendency to simply bog in the sand. If I gun it too fast, the wheel simply turns into the sand and the back end slides out. I think, longer term, if I'm going to keep doing sand, I should consider a bike with more play up front and a more upright sitting position. I'm not necessarily in a hurry as the next few months should be in territory better suited to this ride.😁
Sue & Carol! Pmsl 😂🤣😂. Agree about the snakes yikes!! I’ve accidentally run over a few on my trail bike out in the bush 😳 not a nice feeling lol. Love the eagle 🥰 so much great stuff to see. Thanks for the adventures ☺️💕
Hahahaha. Yes Sue and Carol did have an affect on me.😁 I'm glad you're ok after running over the snakes. It's in a moment like that, that a bite is a real possibility. I certainly wouldn't complain if I never saw a snake again.🐍 Those things scare me!
It's rugged territory out there. And, done wrong, the risk of death is high. I agree, peoples who came before us, and that does include First Nation peoples, deserve our respect!
@@HerMotorcycleAdventures Thank you! I also travel by myself through south america and I really enjoy it! Hope to get know australia in the near future! cheers!
Most of the Flinders Ranges will be covered early next year. I have something a little special planned.😁 However, the next episode was filmed in part of the Flinders Ranges. And it turned out to be drama filled.🥴 I'm still editing it, but it's taking shape.😉
I think dismissing history is dismissing our heritage. And that's pretty disrespectful to those who came before us. It's just my opinion, but it means a lot to me.
Absolutely agree with your views 100%. The older I get, the more frustrated with people I become !!!!. It's a bit unfortunate, (just timing really), that you weren't there when the annual working bee is on with volunteers from all over, the bakery up and running and doing a roaring trade, then it's unbelievable on another scale. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this place, take care and stay safe, Cheers.
Yep, I was disappointed to see that the bakery wasn't operating. As it turns out, the whole covid situation has it closed for longer still. I'm contemplating returning when the bakery is open and the volunteers are working on the location. It'd be something to see! Oh, and between you and I, I too am finding a reduced tolerance for selfish and poorly behaved people. 😁
@@HerMotorcycleAdventures These self entitled people are certainly becoming more self evident of late, sadly. You would be amazed at the difference in Farina when the annual working bee is on, usually June, July. You have to be early at the bakery to avoid disappointment !!!!. Take care and stay safe, Cheers.
Hi Chris. I was in the lower regions of Queensland a few months ago. I even managed to get stuck on the sunshine coast when the lockdown happened. Ultimately I opted to head to the southern regions of the country during summer, and push further north during the upcoming winter season.👍
Again, it felt like I was there, Gwyn. The video and audio quality is as good as the content. I take it you didn’t spend the night with the ghosts? I spent most of my early life in California. Out there ghost towns turn into movie sets; then tourist attractions; and then, eventually, towns again. Each phase has its own batch of graffiti.
As it turns out, the ghost town featured in this video is slowly being restored. I can't see people living out there in the shorter term as it's pretty inhospitable. Right now an extraordinary effort is being made with the help of volunteers, to stop it from declining and disappearing from history entirely. And I like that thought. Glad you're enjoying the series my friend.
What an exciting find! I love seeing stories like this. The stories behind building & then abandoning a town is fascinating to me. On the issue common sense, I'd like to throw an idea at you. From the video (the rusted out car) it seems like people were gone by the 1950s or 60s. Yet, you drove into town on a semi-maintained road. I'd love to know why the country is maintaining a road that effectively leads nowhere. What is the point. I loved your rant about the graffiti. I stand with you in denouncing Sue and Cowl 2015.😂
Sue and Carol were so uncool in doing that! LOL Yes the town is currently being restored. Well, at least preserved. Every year, a set of volunteers converge on the town and set about maintaining a selected building or two. The underground bakery runs for a while each year to raise funds toward the preservation of the site. Pretty cool hey!
A recently ???, sealed road runs north south past Farina on the way up to Marree. It is only the turn off into the town that is unsealed. Check it out on a map or Google Earth. Interesting place and history, Cheers.
Someone wise, once said "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the first one." Keep on riding and enjoy life 🤗
I have to admit to contemplating that. I need a new helmet. I've nearly killed this one. I was curious as to how they'd go at speed, they don't look as aerodynamic. How are you finding yours?
I see that you use a DJI Osmo Action Camera and I must ask if the quality of the raw (original) video is ok? I'm asking because what I see on UA-cam is disappointing and could be because of the internet speed (on my side) or video conversion done during the uploading process.
When I got the DJI Osmo action cams, I tested the latest GoPro at the time and tested these. Ultimately there was little difference between both of them, and these were economical enough to purchase two of them for the price of the one GoPro. These two cams have been through hell and back. The quality is good. The Rocksteady mode is amazing! The new DJI Osmo is being released this month, and I'm watching closely to see it's capabilities.😉
@@HerMotorcycleAdventures well, I bought first the GoPro (Hero 7 black) but didn't used much. Then I bought the DJI Osmo and really liked the usability of it. As far as I could tell, the(built an video) quality are similar. I'm not a professional "camera man" so it's ok for me. Still, the UA-cam video quality doesn't do justice to the sceneries captured. The conversion made on the UA-cam upload is heavily affecting the quality.
I love to see Australia through your lens, do you have any plans to explore other countries like new Zealand, Netherlands, German...etc ? I'm just curious
I certainly would like to take the series international. I guess we will have to see what happens in this crazy world over coming months. But yes, that'd be fun. And quite an adventure!
Enjoyed the droning, music, and your commentary (rant) on people etching into monuments, graffiti, and don't forget the stickers! It is a real problem in our country (USA) with its natural monuments being defaced by visitors. :-(
Ironically I don't tend to swear all that much. I guess it's a topic I'm passionate about. These days it often feels that there's not a lot of respect around.
Well spotted Trev. Nah the handlebars are fine. The camera was a little skewed. It's a mistake you only make once (hopefully). LOL I'll be happy to look at what you're doing. I'll check it out soon.👍
I love to see you. You are very pretty I like you I like what you do and you share I love to accompany you on your trip. thanks for sharing. a big hug.until the next meeting. besos
Very cool video...thank you for sharing...a wedge tail eagle almost stole my drone from me..i yelled my guts out and he shot through... he's talons were stretched right out for the grab....yes,some people are f'k wits..cant leave well enough alone...the age old idiot.... swear ya guts out girl if ya want..its an aussie thing... old fashioned respect goes such a long way..seems to becomming more rare nowdays....yes..what was one significant becomes insignificant... watching from stanthorpe queensland..love the channel its AWESOME..yes, most people dont give a rats..ducks arse about anything or anyone.. Australia has a tonne of places boom to bust...

Another wonderfully shot video from a wonderful lady, stay safe and looking forward to the next one Gwyneth.
Thanks Gerald. It was a rather interesting place wasn't it! I enjoyed baking this video. Certainly gave the drone a workout.😁
Great work, so much time and effort to make these videos. Best thing about them though, is you, you’re informative, enthusiastic and full of life. An inspiring woman. Cheers, Brad.
Gee Brad. Keep that up and you're going to have me blushing! 😁
You made me smile at the opening. Great footage....You are something else! So far out there and by yourself. Be safe, watch out for snakes! Hugs.
Life's an adventure my friend. And I'm happy to have an adventure without snakes! 🐍

Congratulations, excelent video. I'm from São Paulo, Brasil
Hello my friend from Brasil! I am so happy that you enjoyed the latest video. It sure was fun making it!
@@HerMotorcycleAdventures Thank you! I also travel by myself through south america and I really enjoy it! Hope to get know australia in the near future! cheers!
It will be interesting to see what you come up with when you get to the Flinders Ranges.
Most of the Flinders Ranges will be covered early next year. I have something a little special planned.😁 However, the next episode was filmed in part of the Flinders Ranges. And it turned out to be drama filled.🥴 I'm still editing it, but it's taking shape.😉
Great discovery
Thanks my friend. I'm glad you liked it!
Waooo really very beautiful views sharing by you. Keep it up 😊👍
My pleasure! There's more on the way! 😁 Thanks so much for supporting me!
I am so lucky that you always gived replied to me
Bundle of thanks
😊
Agree with you about preserving a bit of history.
I think dismissing history is dismissing our heritage. And that's pretty disrespectful to those who came before us. It's just my opinion, but it means a lot to me.
To think 40000 years ago that ocre pit may have had a huge importance is mind blowing!
It is, isn't it Bill. 40,000 years ago, people just like you and I, seeing its value to them.
Absolutely agree with your views 100%. The older I get, the more frustrated with people I become !!!!. It's a bit unfortunate, (just timing really), that you weren't there when the annual working bee is on with volunteers from all over, the bakery up and running and doing a roaring trade, then it's unbelievable on another scale. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this place, take care and stay safe, Cheers.
Yep, I was disappointed to see that the bakery wasn't operating. As it turns out, the whole covid situation has it closed for longer still. I'm contemplating returning when the bakery is open and the volunteers are working on the location. It'd be something to see! Oh, and between you and I, I too am finding a reduced tolerance for selfish and poorly behaved people. 😁
@@HerMotorcycleAdventures These self entitled people are certainly becoming more self evident of late, sadly. You would be amazed at the difference in Farina when the annual working bee is on, usually June, July. You have to be early at the bakery to avoid disappointment !!!!. Take care and stay safe, Cheers.
Great job again...amazing skills back then ...amazing .. when are you heading to QLD chic?
Hi Chris. I was in the lower regions of Queensland a few months ago. I even managed to get stuck on the sunshine coast when the lockdown happened. Ultimately I opted to head to the southern regions of the country during summer, and push further north during the upcoming winter season.👍
Again, it felt like I was there, Gwyn. The video and audio quality is as good as the content. I take it you didn’t spend the night with the ghosts?
I spent most of my early life in California. Out there ghost towns turn into movie sets; then tourist attractions; and then, eventually, towns again. Each phase has its own batch of graffiti.
As it turns out, the ghost town featured in this video is slowly being restored. I can't see people living out there in the shorter term as it's pretty inhospitable. Right now an extraordinary effort is being made with the help of volunteers, to stop it from declining and disappearing from history entirely. And I like that thought. Glad you're enjoying the series my friend.
What an exciting find! I love seeing stories like this. The stories behind building & then abandoning a town is fascinating to me. On the issue common sense, I'd like to throw an idea at you. From the video (the rusted out car) it seems like people were gone by the 1950s or 60s. Yet, you drove into town on a semi-maintained road. I'd love to know why the country is maintaining a road that effectively leads nowhere. What is the point.
I loved your rant about the graffiti. I stand with you in denouncing Sue and Cowl 2015.😂
Sue and Carol were so uncool in doing that! LOL Yes the town is currently being restored. Well, at least preserved. Every year, a set of volunteers converge on the town and set about maintaining a selected building or two. The underground bakery runs for a while each year to raise funds toward the preservation of the site. Pretty cool hey!
A recently ???, sealed road runs north south past Farina on the way up to Marree. It is only the turn off into the town that is unsealed. Check it out on a map or Google Earth. Interesting place and history, Cheers.
Someone wise, once said "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the first one." Keep on riding and enjoy life 🤗
I think you can count on human stupidity being a constant in this universe.😉
Love ❤ your videos. Suggestion get a adventure helmet. It's a game changer. 👍👍👍👍
I have to admit to contemplating that. I need a new helmet. I've nearly killed this one. I was curious as to how they'd go at speed, they don't look as aerodynamic. How are you finding yours?
I see that you use a DJI Osmo Action Camera and I must ask if the quality of the raw (original) video is ok? I'm asking because what I see on UA-cam is disappointing and could be because of the internet speed (on my side) or video conversion done during the uploading process.
When I got the DJI Osmo action cams, I tested the latest GoPro at the time and tested these. Ultimately there was little difference between both of them, and these were economical enough to purchase two of them for the price of the one GoPro. These two cams have been through hell and back. The quality is good. The Rocksteady mode is amazing! The new DJI Osmo is being released this month, and I'm watching closely to see it's capabilities.😉
@@HerMotorcycleAdventures well, I bought first the GoPro (Hero 7 black) but didn't used much. Then I bought the DJI Osmo and really liked the usability of it. As far as I could tell, the(built an video) quality are similar. I'm not a professional "camera man" so it's ok for me. Still, the UA-cam video quality doesn't do justice to the sceneries captured. The conversion made on the UA-cam upload is heavily affecting the quality.
Awesome- from Sue & Carol xx
I'm not sure that Sue and Carol would like me very much! LOL
I love to see Australia through your lens, do you have any plans to explore other countries like new Zealand, Netherlands, German...etc ? I'm just curious
I certainly would like to take the series international. I guess we will have to see what happens in this crazy world over coming months. But yes, that'd be fun. And quite an adventure!
Enjoyed the droning, music, and your commentary (rant) on people etching into monuments, graffiti, and don't forget the stickers! It is a real problem in our country (USA) with its natural monuments being defaced by visitors. :-(
Yet the graffiti of cave people facinates us . . . . .
Of course they weren't just leaving their initials with heart symbols . . . .
It is so sad that monuments are being defaced over your part of the world. I swear we are going backwards as a civilisation.
Farina , tasty ..I prefer oatmeal though.. 👍 .. nice video
I believe Farina is Latin for flour. Which is ironically what they were at least trying to harvest out there!😉
Very interesting, Thanks for sharing this, and you Don't need to worry about bleeping out the swearing, we all agree with you
Ironically I don't tend to swear all that much. I guess it's a topic I'm passionate about. These days it often feels that there's not a lot of respect around.
Where are you now ? Been a long time
is your left bar bent looks way lower than your right bar,??? if ya want another channel to check.. Hippy Trev.. look me up
Well spotted Trev. Nah the handlebars are fine. The camera was a little skewed. It's a mistake you only make once (hopefully). LOL I'll be happy to look at what you're doing. I'll check it out soon.👍
