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.
Congratulations ! Nice to see you on the road again. Fantastic views of Western Australia. Nice shot of the Australian Ringneak Parrot. Thanks for sharing !
oooh I love to read this! there is.a new video of australia just out in case /;) thank you for going back in the archives you ll have to tell us what you liked best
Thanks Nick and Matilda for your constant efforts to make such a good travel documentaries for us, to watch the beautiful parts of the world, sitting in our drawing rooms .
So glad you’re back on the road! Albo had a hiccup, be its ready to go. Oh those flies!!! I can feel them as I’m watching this. You guys are tougher than I am. That would drive me batty!! Great video as always. Stay safe!!
When I used to take my classes camping in Ontario in mid-June, we had to use those nets, too… Here it is blackflies that bite! The kids looked like they’d been in a boxing match when we’d go back to the city! I am so glad to see you guys back on the move… yay! The CM2 class will watch this episode this week 🎉🇦🇺
Lovely filming and drone work. You are encountering the isolation and vastness of outback Australia. Homo sapiens from Africa are believed to have reached the WA coastline about 65,000 years ago. BTW you must smell good to flies. Maybe eat more onions to change how you smell.
Yay! Albo is up and running again! Glad to see you are back on the road and once again producing fabulous videos for us all to enjoy. Best wishes and Bon Chance for your travels in Australia! 🇦🇺
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.
Oooh I can imagine it could get crazier and we found the flies most crazy in the most remote places so they probably managed to get rid of them in the urbanized area
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.
aie aie up there it gets full of mosquitoes yes. at least the flies dont bite and that makes a big difference. with the net totally tolerable until you need to eat. hhhhahahahah
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
oooh we did swallow flies by accident... hahahah protein intake... We love kangaroos, and did not eat any more since trying we hope you guys have a beautiful summer !
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.
Good question! They don’t they literally just chill in you or go for your eyeball hahahaha honestly just the net for the head is great on the rest of the body it s not too annoying
Love that both of you take the bad with the good and always bring a beautiful vibe to your videos . Even with all those flys , ( fly fishing 😎) awesome adventure video again you two thanks for sharing your wonderful life with us all your over landing friends . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🏜🌏🍻👍🏼😁.. P.S. GOOD TO SEE ALBO BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN 😁😁😁😁😁👍🏼
Oooh! We did travel to beautiful Montenegro 🇲🇪 and that is actually during that trip that we decided we d do a world tour one day! But we did not do videos at the time! Beautiful place
🦟🦟🦟🦟Glad you guys are enjoying Australia! 🦟🦟🦟🦟Glad Albo runs like a top.🚙 Love the channel💖 hope the flies are gone soon. Cheers Enjoy some Austrian Meat Pies 🥧🥧🍺🍺🤠
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."
@@NextMeridianExpedition Its a dry oil, so should be ok for your face as well. I once did an horse riding holiday in Northumbria England. I even put it on the back of the horses ears. Good Luck.
best get some spider webs on a stick then catch the flys then you can cook them and hey presto dinner is served just think Shrek and the princess lol see you next week
Kk....I was away travelling myself so I"m playing catch up, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you didn't see anyone, because not many could endure those pesky flies!!!!🪰🪰
🎶 On the road again; just can’t wait to get on the road again. 🎶 It’s a Landy; what can possibly go wrong? 🙈👍🏻🙏🦘hint: try fly spray on your hat under the net. 🥊🥊
No scenery would make me endure those flies. Thankfully you did and I can enjoy it fly free. 👍
hahahah you are very welcome

Looks like Albatross is back!👍👍
Can't believe how many Flys, I hope they don't sting.
Beautiful place
They don't sting, but they do bite!
@@torrentbits Too many of them, that's bad, but that's part of the overlanding adventure ❤️❤️
They don’t those ones! Can’t imagine if they did would be awful!
@@NextMeridianExpedition eh? They don't like french meat?! 🦘
That's a lot of flies!
Indeed !
Such amazing scenery, good to see you on the move again. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it thank you !
Australia will test the limits of any vehicle.
Beautiful scenery, just wondering how many flies you must have eaten?
At least one for sure! I can remember it 😂😂😂
It funny to think you are just at the other side of the world and there are this similarities that you can’t find in other places!
Enjoy guys!

Apparently flies population grew fast in Australia because of the e amount of cattle so it seems to be similar
Beautiful sunset’s! The landscape is awesome! I wonder if you could trap a bunch of those flys and get them to carry you around? Just a thought.
hahahah like the movie up but with flies! maybe we could stike a deal indeed
Epic episode content flippen awesome
thank you !
Had to pause and laugh - fly-fishing!
hahahahaha had to
Si belles couleurs 🤩magnifiques
Merci maman
How do the flies not drive you crazy? I think I would have to wear a full on net suit🤯. At least they don't bite...I am assuming? Nice hike though!
Good question! They don’t they literally just chill in you or go for your eyeball hahahaha honestly just the net for the head is great on the rest of the body it s not too annoying

so beautiful!!! why so much flies......where r the frogs.
Oh my gosh! The flies! Are you able to keep the flies out of your bedroom when you sleep? I have never seen so many flies! Im glad the nets work!
So far yes cause they get away at night fall and if you do a good shake before entering they momentarily leave you hahaha
Que de belles vidéos ! 🫶
merci ! Maxilife ! j'espère qu'on va vous recroiser !
@@NextMeridianExpedition j’espère aussi ça serait avec grand plaisir 😁
Good thing I saw this first. Now that I know about the flies, I'm not booking a trip there. 😀
hahahahah it s not everywhere... but it is in many places. you can come but maybe not Kalbarri
Havent really realized you guys went to Montenegro also untill I saw that cap! Amazing hahah! Hello from Montenegro!
If you have a video from Montenegro please LINK cause I cant find it!
Oooh! We did travel to beautiful Montenegro 🇲🇪 and that is actually during that trip that we decided we d do a world tour one day! But we did not do videos at the time!
Beautiful place

Thanks so much! no more flies where we are!
Crazy amount of flys! Can’t wait to see how many you clean out of your air filters on Albo. Cheers.
hahahah good question, we will keep an eye out
Aeroguard should help keep those flies that are on steroids away from you lol . Your video is so amazing and I love your drone shots .
hahahaha thank you very much Louisa
Not even an inter net could stop those flies! They made into my house in Colorado….
hahahahahhahahah that was a funny one
You’ll need to play some Australian music in your Stories. Something like Cold Chisel or Paul Kelly 😊
That would be cool! we ll look up the bands the issue is more that we cant use musics that are not free of rights or on special contracts...

😅😅 nick makan indomi goreng, made in Indonesia..Gbu
Amazing creation of God so beautiful beyond our mind! Thanks the most determined lovable couple!
Wow, thank you!
CRAZY.....Showed the wife all the flies..NOPE. You two are braver than us..Not to worry..No files North or Eastern Australia..
we did not think it could get that bad... but the net makes it tolerable really it helps a lot
@@NextMeridianExpeditionDon’t worry , you will live ! Lol
Please show us Australia like no others overlanders have done before!
Howdy mateys! Maybe no one is at your campground …hmmmm, flies? Oh well! At least no crocs! Saddle up!
hahahahahaha yes at least...
Beautiful country. Laminated pancakes😂
hahahahah it came out naturally ...
Do they have dragonflies in Oz? If so you can try the dragonfly wingman, looks crazy but actually works keeping most of the flies away!
Oooh we experienced that the other day. Flies came in and it got annoying and suddenly a dragonfly showed up and bam… problem solved
@@NextMeridianExpedition haha, worth a try then! They just clip on to a cap. I thought it was a gimmick but it does actually seem to work
The lake salt pink.
Torrevieja spain.
Avon do a spray original skin so soft. The soldiers in Scotland use it to keep mosquitos of them. Or you could try lemon juice.
Hmmm interesting we will consider it 👍 thank you
@@NextMeridianExpedition Its a dry oil, so should be ok for your face as well. I once did an horse riding holiday in Northumbria England. I even put it on the back of the horses ears. Good Luck.
Hi guys, question, did you have Albo tuned again or are you going to wait for that or not at all anymore ? Try to stay clear of the flies……😂
Yep we did :)
Are the flies year-round? Or are they some kind of seasonal?
We understood it is supposedly better in the winter (which it is approaching at the moment) and it gets real bad in summer.
Did you change A new engine. AND finish all broplems in.
😂😂😂
Yes ! The video is online 😍 we published it last week if you want to go check it out
note self....avoid areas where there are pesty flies
U might even find FH370....
true that
How many flys have you eaten?!
For sure one each cause we properly tasted it but maybe more
best get some spider webs on a stick then catch the flys then you can cook them and hey presto dinner is served just think Shrek and the princess lol see you next week
Omg, the flies are terrible
They re not great but somehow one gets used to them
@@NextMeridianExpedition Would be hard for me. Do they hurt? In Scotland they hurt a lot.
@@MarcelEling no they dont bite at all so it is really alright with the net
@@NextMeridianExpedition thats a bit better I think:)
indomie from indonesia
There are no flies in Utah or Arizona.
Cool!
Eva is not doing as many videos as normal these days so I turn to you by default.
