    No scenery would make me endure those flies. Thankfully you did and I can enjoy it fly free. 👍

    Campfire smoke provides sanctuary from the flies. We always prioritize getting a fire started when making camp in the outback. Another trick is to prepare your lunch in the early morning. This saves the pain of adding flies to the lunch menu.

    Awesome video as always Nick and Matilda. So glad to see y’all back on the road again and enjoying and exploring such epic places y’all really know how to capture the true beauty of the landscape of each place y’all explore. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s journey around the world. 🌎

    I really enjoyed your readings Matilde, it’s important to remember way back to the original inhabitants of the Australian continent and their stories and legends, plus the early settlers who arrived in Australia, by way of shipwrecks. I absolutely love the colours and shapes of the “ laminated pancakes” and of the skies almost mirroring those tones at sunrise and sunset.
    And now from the sublime to the ridiculous : I have to say you really rock your fly face net and wear it with true French style Mathilde, Nick not so much, yet, 😅but as long as it keeps the majority of those irritating flies away that’s what matters.

    Back in the ‘60s and early ‘70s I lived in Australia for a bit and I remember the flies well. However, the Australians began importing various types of dung beetles to eat the manure in which the flies were breeding, and some claim to have reduced their fly population by 90%. I don’t know if that’s true, but I was struck by how few flies you had to deal with vs what I remember. But then, I was mostly in Queensland on the east coast.
    The great Australian salute was a constant waving in front of the face. Took me a few weeks to stop doing that after I left.

    • @NextMeridianExpedition

    What a gorgeous place but the flies were making me antsy even on this side of the computer screen. I really admire your sangfroid in dealing with them. The only place I have been that's anywhere near that buggy is the North Woods of Maine in the summer. We had nets there, too, but they were only partially useful. One place we made a smudge fire of green tree limbs and foliage just to try to smoke the flies and mosquitos away.

    • @NextMeridianExpedition
      @NextMeridianExpedition  5 місяців тому +1

    Hi guys... Thanks for this video. We wondered if one of you might have swallowed a fly by accident! We thought the river was beautiful. We really liked seeing the kangaroos, especially the sleeping one. Have you tried eating kangaroo since the first time you tried it? We will watch one more video before summer vacation... We look forward to seeing you and the sharks! CM2-A Kids and Jodi

    We pulled up in an 'aires' in Spain recently and the motorhome was swarmed by flies: I suspect from the nearby farm. We closed all the windows and doors but they still seemed to get inside ( and this is in a fairly new motorhome). After. an hour of killing flies and getting hotter and hotter. We gave in, packed up and moved elsewhere. I still don't know how they managed to get in.

    I didn't catch you telling why the lake was pink, so I Googled it. FYI. "When the weather and water conditions are just right, the algae produces pink or red cartenoids (basically a filter, like a pair of sunglasses, to protect their chlorophyll cells and help photosynthesis) which give the lake its pink colour."
