Hey Amy! Yup here I am 2 months late as usual lol... Right off the bat I loved how the drone followed you as you packed up camp, such a cool sequence! Watching this sure makes me wish I was on "river time", so peaceful and lovely. The leisurely pace on a river trip is so nice, and you've made it so relaxing to watch. Thanks for bringing us along! Hope all is well with you 🍻🛶
G'day Pete, cheers mate and thanks for stopping by and commenting 😀 👍 I miss river time... its such a wonderful mindset to be in! All good here, busy back at work, as always! Hope you've also been well. I've got to get out and make the most of the good cold weather before it gets too hot again!
Woo Hoo, i have been hanging out for part 3.. luv watching your journey. Coming from the Territory, I keep thinking the river should be filled with Bara and crocodiles 🐊 . Thank you soooo much for the trouble and effort you put in, so we can follow you along. It is greatly appreciated. Xxxxxx
🥰 thank so much Lesa, it's always wonderful to hear that folks are enjoying watching my travels as much as I enjoy recording them... it makes the hours of editing a little easier. And thank god there's no crocs in the Murray 😳
Awesome! I was wondering if you ever went in for a dip and now I know. I know that I would be every chance that I had. Thanks again for bringing us along with you! HooRoo!
Thanks Jake, much appreciated! It's going to be an equally long wait for the next episode unfortunately... I'm taking off paddling for a month on the Murrumbidgee very soon too! woo hoo! can't wait :)
Love your edits! Your vid’s are fantastic! What an amazing journey. Love the concept of “rivertime”, that’s the best part of these adventures I think…removal of the schedule and to simply be. Thanks for sharing 💛✌️
Thanks C&C! 😊 Very true, although sometimes it can be hard to actually switch off... its always a blessing when you're able to be totally in the moment!
Hey Amy! Good to see you back in action. It's been awhile. Although I totally expected a backlog of videos! Cool that you have company and slowing down to enjoy the trip. Looking forward to more!
Cheers tPP, and thanks for checking out my latest episode, even though it's a couple of months old now, lol. Yep, I'm finding it hard to find the time (and sometimes the motivation) to edit much since I got back from my Murray Expedition. I'm hoping 2023 is the year that I get a bit more spare time to get back into it! I'm still out there adventuring and recording it all - so the backlog of potential videos just gets longer and longer, haha!
Hi amy . I just back from the first trip in the boat . Not a canoe at all . But very easy to paddle . Still i love my canoe too. Just thought i would say hi before i watch ep.3. Happy paddles.
Oh wow, what an amazing trip! Looking forward to watching some more episodes, this is the first one I’ve watched. Would love to learn more about how you prepared for a trip like this.
Another great episode, Amy. I can appreciate how much work is going into these edits! Lots of great footage and camera angles that you’ve captured. Great to see that you were well and truly settling into river life by this point. Look forward to the upcoming episodes!
Hi Amy I just came across your channel . what an adventure you're a legend ! . are you going to continue this series ? I am going to go back and watch all your documentation of your Murray trip .from day one . looking at your video content in videos , and the quality of your filming music and just the nice vibe and all the effort you have put in . I wonder why you haven't got more views and subscribers . I am sure it will pick up as people come across your channel . Great Aussie Content ! . You have another subscriber , thanks
Thanks so much SS 😊 🙏 That's so kind of you 💙 The MRX series will continue as I've got time to edit the footage I captured on my whole journey... so stay tuned! Thank you also for commenting and subscribing, I really appreciate it and love to hear that others enjoy watching my adventures as much as I enjoy doing, capturing, editing and sharing them!
Thanks so much Jenny, and thanks for watching! I chose Little Blue (my Old Town Next) after a very long deliberation and trying out a number of different options! I settled on a Next because it's basically got all the bits I like from a kayak (can be paddled with a double-blade paddle, has foot pegs, you sit lower in the boat) and all the bits I like from a canoe (HUGE storage capacity for a 13ft boat, lots of leg and wriggle room which allows different leg positions throughout the day, and easy to load because I can use my waterproof duffel bags), and being plastic means she's pretty bombproof because I'm not very gentle with my gear. It has some drawbacks, i.e. it's slow compared to normal touring kayaks, and your lower legs get wet from paddle drips which can be a bit cold in winter... but they were heavily outweighed by the benefits this little canoe has.
Loving your journey Amy. You look so comfortable in your seat. I have a canoe but find my back can get sore with no back rest. Is your seat part of the canoe or something you have fitted after?
G'day Graham, thanks for following along! oh, I love my seat! it's the most comfortable seat I've use in a canoe or kayak. I can sit in it for hour without getting cramp... and yes, it came with the canoe, an Old Town Next. It sits on sliding rails which means you can move backwards and forewards depending where your load is, which is also very handy.
@@AmyOutdoors thanks. Also have an Old Town on loan. It has the wicker type seats. Might see if I can retrofit something. I am a bit of a novice with canoeing. At what sort of wind speed do you feel is safe for you (I know it can vary according to individual and craft) on open water. We have a lake nearby but I am a bit hesitant to go out on my own if it looks like it is going to be windy. Thanks for your reply. Keep on paddling.
@@grahamjamieson1489 is a bit hard to say re: wind because it depends on the direction and the features around you too... as a very general guide on open water I prefer it to be blowing at less than 10km/hour, up to 15km/h is ok but getting a bit choppy, over 20 just isn't much fun.
@@AmyOutdoors thanks. We did the Glenelg River with head winds up to 40kmh. A real pain. We had to keep searching for the sheltered side of the river. Strong winds on open water is a different matter. I don't feel comfortable in regard to safety out there.
Hi Amy, really enjoying following your odyssey. Did you consider starting further upstream from Walwa or was the river too low, fast or too many obstacles (snags rapids)?
Thanks Greg! I did consider starting up higher, and the water was at the perfect level at the time, but the rapids worried me a bit too much... I'd only ever paddled very slow moving water before that. I'd definitely like to get back up there now though!
Well done . What great editing. Worth the wait . Thankyou . 🐢
Thanks Turtle, that's very kind of you 😊
Great photography, editing and soundtrack. What a trip!
Thank you sir, much appreciated!
Always so relaxing to watch Amy 🙏 really looking forward to paddling the Murray.
Thanks so much Jason 😊, it's great to hear you're enjoying them. All the best for your own paddle!
Fantastic Ep. 3, looking forward to the next one! Thanks for sharing. :) :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for hanging in there and watching Jacqueline :)

Yep, even though it's the middle of winter, a dip is sometimes still worth it! And boy, it woke me up!
Can't believe I missed this. Your videography has improved so much! Looking forward to following your trip.
Cheers Jeff, that's so kind of you to say 😊
Worth the wait, great episode!
Your story telling is excellent, loving the journey :)
Thanks Jake, much appreciated! It's going to be an equally long wait for the next episode unfortunately... I'm taking off paddling for a month on the Murrumbidgee very soon too! woo hoo! can't wait :)
@@AmyOutdoors if there was ever an excuse for lack of videos it’s because you’re out adventuring!
So that’s awesome!
Planning to film it?
@@JakeMarcin of course! :)... though at the rate I'm going it will be 2025 before you see any of it, haha
Love your edits! Your vid’s are fantastic! What an amazing journey. Love the concept of “rivertime”, that’s the best part of these adventures I think…removal of the schedule and to simply be. Thanks for sharing 💛✌️
Thanks C&C! 😊
Very true, although sometimes it can be hard to actually switch off... its always a blessing when you're able to be totally in the moment!
You deserve so many more views! Such great content and an epic adventure! Excited for the next one!
Thanks so much Petrichor, that's very kind of you to say!
Agreed!!!! Such amazing videos 🎉

Wish you were still in Murray bridge would love the experience to go travelling in the kayak
The river will always be there!
Hi amy . I just back from the first trip in the boat . Not a canoe at all . But very easy to paddle .
Still i love my canoe too. Just thought i would say hi before i watch ep.3.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the new toy mate 👍 hope you like ep. 3 😁
Would love to hear the whole song like this " brilliant".
Cheers 👍
Which song are you referring to?
Oh wow, what an amazing trip! Looking forward to watching some more episodes, this is the first one I’ve watched. Would love to learn more about how you prepared for a trip like this.
Awesome! Thanks Andrew... and welcome on the journey! Lots more to come :) I'll do a few gear and prep videos eventually, so keep an eye out for them
Well done Amy on this episode keep up the good work on the editing 😀 I just keep getting better and better see the next video

Another great episode, Amy. I can appreciate how much work is going into these edits! Lots of great footage and camera angles that you’ve captured. Great to see that you were well and truly settling into river life by this point. Look forward to the upcoming episodes!
Thanks Chris, I really appreciate it! Yep, lots of editing, but worth it in the long run... just gotta see if I can get my workflow a bit quicker!
