    It's great to have a common interest. My husband and I spend many hours with rocks. I can quickly become a little envious, you must have had a wonderful trip, there are so many beautiful places where you live. Good to see more of you Janine👍. Greetings from a wet and cold winter in Denmark. 4 degrees Celsius, windy and rainy.😊 Jane

      Good to hear from you Jane ☺
      I think the common interest is that when I go away she enjoys having the house to herself 😆
      We had a fantastic trip although at times we would have gladly traded your 4 degrees for our 43 😁

    A really nice presentation Paul , well done to you both indeed, wish i could get out and about touring and looking for rocks but sadly we dont travel, my dear wife has sadly multiple health issues that are a real challenge , so your vids and channel is a pure delight, though we used to do wildlife photography trips together before things got to hard, so thank you both once again, cheers

    Best chip shop in Esperence. I did that big trip about 5 yrs ago and loved every bit of it. I usually head north of Perth. But very impressive.

      Thanks Kev, we've only been married since 2009, when people would ask why we'd taken so long to tie the knot my go to answer was, we spent a long time picking our rings😆. . . excuse my crude humour 😁
      Have a terrific Christmas and all the best for a successful new year rock hounding 👍

    I know what you mean about the kangaroos, back in 1993 i did a backpackkng trip to Aus, i was on a bus in the dusk.
    We hit so many Roos, it was awful.

      @paulhardie I was on a bus heading from Adelaide to Brisbane.
      It broke down at a place called Yunta, in the middle of nowhere 🤣
      The bus was full, and I had the front seat.
      By the time we got going , it was dusk, omg it was awful.
