    Great episode. Always informative and your family is living the right life. The children will soak up real history and learn to be confident independent persons. Good job and keep going.

    Fabulous! We were up in Mackay for Xmas and New year visiting rellies - and visited 90% of the places you guys were at. It seems you guys missed going to the Whitsunday Gold Coffee Shop! They grow their own coffee. Watching your videos gives us a good idea of places we'd like to go to next time we are in Aussie. Keep up the excellent videos.

    Hey guys, we love your show and can't wait for each episode to arrive. One thing we feel we have to mention: snakes.
    Now you're over on the eastern states, you gotta look out for the Coastal Taipan, especially around sugarcane plantations (like around Mackay). The Coastal Taipan is the big brother of the Inland Taipan, the snake with the most complex and most venomous venom in the world.
    Especially with young kids around, you really should have a Snake First Aid kit and an emergency EPIRB beacon (with texting facility) so you can call the chopper. Best wishes, Dave - Avalon Beach Sydney.
