    In this episode, we're braving some of Tasmania's wildest weather as we explore Queenstown and its stunning natural wonders. From the shocking confluence where the toxic Queen River meets the King River, to the breathtaking Horsetail Falls, we push through the rain and winds to discover the hidden gems of the Wild West. 🌧️
    Along the way, we dive into the environmental impact of the polluted Queen River and the incredible beauty that still surrounds us. Despite the stormy conditions, the adventure was totally worth it. 🌿
    Join us as we take on Tasmania’s raw beauty, from vanlife in the wild weather to uncovering a toxic legacy that shapes this incredible landscape. You won’t want to miss this journey through one of the most unique places in Australia! 🌧️🚐

    Poor Pablo. Can’t he go on walks in a backpack? That was a beautiful forest walk today. Thanks for showing us. 🌈🌷

    Great video! The two rivers coalescing like that is both fascinating and heartbreaking. I'm definitely adding that to my list of things to see!

    Great video guys it’s good to see that you didn’t let the weather stop you from enjoying the scenery. I always tell my big island friends that summer doesn’t start here until Jan/ Feb, I have had our fire going on Christmas day. Where did you you stay in Queenstown?

    looks lovely even in the rain, shame about the toxicity in Queenstown, Im surprised the mining all those years ago still has an effect in the soil and water today. Seeya on the next one, cheers

    We haven't had the greatest start to summer in Tassie, but the advantage of that is good flow in waterfalls 😀 I'm a fairly new subscriber and really enjoying your camera work.

    Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

    I remember driving through Queenstown, and it just made me so sad and angry due to the environmental degradation and the self-destructive nature of humankind that I bypassed it. Maybe I'll stop and have a look one day or maybe not. Pablo was lucky to just chill out in the van, he's a smart little boy💕🐕😂
