I lived at Moonta Bay for my teenage yrs, wonderful place to be, we still go there or Port Hughes at least once a year. We travelled from South Aussie to Queensland one yr by car the silo art was a major highlight, Dozens of them along the way. Enjoy your stay.
I've seen a few silo art, with my favourite so far being the one in Gunnedah NSW, which is of the Australian poet Dorothea MacKellar, with part of her famous poem My Country.
Well done for coming up close to my neck of the woods mate. Maybe next time travel a little bit further north to the flinders rangers where I am, and see where the country meets the outback at Wilpena Pound. This is a drone operators dream. Silo art up here too. Also we have a lookout point called the Bluff where you drive up to a lookout point and see all over the Spencer Gulf. I am in Port Pirie.
Loved the video and relaxed vibe, a perfect distraction today! That particular Silo Art was really beautiful, I appreciate you going out there to film these "off the beaten track" places! The towns reflect most of Australia's long farming heritage! Definitely that pier was for fishing not swimming! Cheers Guys! 👍
Good to see you got 100 million more followers (flies). If only the little bastards would hit the like and sub button. Yes the southern ocean is cold, warmer up north but the flies bite up there.
If the flies are driving you spare get some aerogard spray and keep in your car for when get out and do walk abouts. The only other thing that keeps them and mozzies at bay is a good stiff breeze.
Seen a few of the silo art in SA when I went driving there in April but didn't know about Bute. At Quorn there is no painted silo art visible during the day. However, at night there is a silo art projection show showcasing the local area that is called the Flinders Ranges.
Shooing the flies is known as the Australian salute. You should go to Port Lincoln sometime a great drive and to Kangaroo Island. Port Hughes is a fabulous fishing spot. The Copper coast has so much history. Silo art is everywhere.
The rail line has been closed for 33 years. Use to take grain to Wallaroo for export. Grain stored there transported away by road these days. The Rooster on the left of the silo art is very significant to the Bute township. The Bute football club use the Roosters as a Mascot.
The roast lamb way turning so I smashed it with Raj curry it is a softer one. Then Hot curry it is a harder on. Then I threw about 6 of my own chillies at it. I couldn't taste the flys. A bit like when my Chinese mate thought I could not handle his family dinner. They threw a bucket of chillies in. His parents were sweating and coughing. Great times. I had some tears but men don't talk about that. ;)
Great mini road trip. We’ve got beautiful beaches…shame about the 🪰 but it’ll only get worse as the weather heats up. I remember taking hubby to uk many years ago and we went to Brighton Beach…he was so shocked by all the pebbles “where do you sit lol”. Gee my sister and I laughed…she sent him postcards of that beach for about six months for a laugh. 🤣
in summer in victoria for example daybreak begins at 5:21am sun rises at 5:51 sun sets at 8:28pm night falls at 9:36pm. In winter daybreaks at 6:49am sun rises at 7:17am sun sets at 5:20pm and night falls at 6:19pm
Thank you for the great video. I’ve seen quite a bit of silo art but hadn’t seen the one at Bute. It’s beautiful. I live in Adelaide but love going to Wallaroo. The beach is amazing. I spent many happy times there as a kid on holidays at my Grandfathers beach house. My mum and dad came from Wallaroo and I still have relatives there. It’s my home away from home. My happy place ❤ Enjoy the rest of your trip
There’s pink lakes in WA at Port Gregory and on Middle Island off Esperance. A lot more pink than what you saw here. Good to see you did a bit of myth busting on EVs.
Love that you're getting out of the major centres, there's quite a few silo art trails around the country, one in Victoria is from Winton, near Benalla, to Tungamah up towards Yarrawonga on the Murray well worth visiting, and the pub at Gooambat does an awesome steak sandwich. 😂😂
Glad to see you enjoyed SA. I am from here. I live near Gawler, just off the bypass 36km north of the city. You would have gone past my place if you had taken the alternative route (Main North Road instead of Port Wakefield Rd). Haven't seen the pink lakes. Didn't even know we had any. Don't drive around much as I am home bound with animals and don't like to leave them. LOL. Still, good to see a bit of the country through a UK tourist's perspective. Thanks for that.
If you go to Victoria this time don’t miss Marysville and Healesville surrounding areas it’s amazing with the tallest eucalyptus trees you’ve ever seen the forests are breathtaking ❤🦘
You were at Wallaroo. If you had gone to another town near there called Kadina, you could have gone for a Cornish pasty. There is another prominent town called Burra and that is where the Cornish miners came and lived in dug outs. You could have seen them.
@@CharlieandRob From your British standpoint. But remember the Cornish people immigrated to Australia. Australians weren't making cornish pasties - just the descendants of the Cornish miners who came back then. Not saying the meat is the same. There are a few UA-cam videos of people eating the Australian version in Kadina on youtube. There are even a few videos on the Burra Mines and history showing the old small dug outs along the dry creek bed that the Cornish families lived in when they arrived in South Australia. I have been in one - very small people they were.
Just a bit of trivia for ya. The silo art started in Northam Western Australia in 2015, then the other states liked it so much they jumped on the bandwagon
Well at least your driving on the correct side of the road you know when the Seppos turn up they drive straight at you. Southern Ocean is a bit cool in early spring .
I’m glad the lake was pink for your visit, having driven past it countless times growing up in SA, I know it’s not always pink. I’m looking forward to driving past it again very soon when we’re over there visiting family again.
Great video guys! I’ve only seen the silos in one town, Colbinabbin in Victoria. There are 4 silos, all amazingly beautiful. People are doing road trips centred entirely around silo art. I hope you get to see a few more this trip, or perhaps you’ll need to save it for the next trip. And Rob, the flies will only get worse. Why do you think a lot of Aussies talk with their mouths nearly closed? 😊
“Bug spray” is essential and should be DEET, that’s the only type that works.. ☠️ It’s likely that the poison spray is still safer than the bugs. You need mozzie nets for your bed when you get further north, or just if you don’t like being bitten. Have fun! 😊
Great footage of the pink lake. I hadn't heard of that one before. I know the one in WA - Lake Hillier , bubblegum pink. Lol the flies love you Rob. I haven't really had an issue with them yet where I am in south east Qld. Beautiful drone footage from around the 9.17 mark. Love our Silo art in Australia. There's also a lot of water towers around with art work too. There's silo art trail maps that people do on driving trips around the country.
Since cultural organisation, FORM, conceived the idea to paint a gigantic vault in the WA town of Northam in 2015, silo art has exploded across Australia. Colourful creations are now plastered all over these towering structures in upwards of 50 locations, predominantly regional centres.
hi mate what you do to with your hand wave it passed your face down here we call it the aussie salute enjoy your stay here glad to see you came back mate david from gold coast
Had to look up where Port Hughes was but found it near Moonta which might have visited as a kid. Too long ago to remember what it looked like down Yorke Peninsula way. But have seen about a dozen silo art things. I do not think they existed two decades back so nice addition on trips out in middle of nowhere. Seen most of them in North Western Victoria regional areas. Similar to the Pink Lakes you visited there some similar I discovered last year way up near Sea Lake in Victoria but it long drive from Melbourne and it was dry when I was there. Want to see it with water in it one day. Seems like your trip is very rushed overall to try to visit too many states in only two weeks but least you spent one day off the grid somewhere. Hoping to see what you visited down in Tasmania. I still have much I want to see in Tassie and hard to see much of just there for a a day or so. The beaches up in Sunshine Coast would be warmer to go in the water so hopefully you were able to do that when you visited there. You should visit where the Lyre Birds are which is only an hour out of Melbourne that you missed last year but I doubt you left yourself enough time to do that here. Oh well, enjoy the sunny Grand Final day here. Last year you brought the English weather with you. Thankfully this year you left it in Perth so we here, on the East coast have had a better early Spring weather. :)
It is hilarious watching people learn about flies for the first time and freak out, best thing to do is get a bout a 40cm branch tip off a preferably eucalyptus tree but anything will do, use it to swat them, keep waving it around from shoulder to shoulder and they'll by large be deterred, they know when you have your hands full, avoid seaweed beds, at the end of the day you just gotta get used to em. lol, Sadly for some visitors it's a bit much and they really do wreck their visit, don't be ashamed to wear a head net, most Aussies will have one in their kit somewhere.
Did you go to Kadina? Rumour has it that one of the suspects of being Jack the Ripper stayed there and a girl went missing while he was there. My Cornish ancestors immigrated to that region.
This Saturday Night/Sunday Morning, the following states will put their clocks forward 1 hour for “Daylight Savings” to give an extra hour of Sunlight throughout the summer months: - New South Wales - Victoria, South Australia - Tasmania - The AC - Norfolk Island An extra hour of sunlight baby!!!😊 Sad though, the following states/territories don’t participate in Daylight Savings: - Queensland - The Northern Territory - Western Australia - Christmas Island -Cocos (Keeling) Islands
There’s some great vids of the silo art trail, plus some showing how they are painted. I enjoyed your vid today, but do you have the fluffy things for your mics, cause that wind drowned you out in some spots?
The roll on is the way to go - it works so much better than the spray! I haven’t seen a fly all year at my place, a few ants around and the odd spider though.
@@CharlieandRob You do arrive with the most bizarre weather patterns lol. Like last year's trip when you hit abnormal colder and wetter weather, this time El Niño has started and the warmer weather and wind patterns have brought vastly greater numbers of bushflies. They breed in the cow pats on the cattle stations in Central Australia, and are carried eastward by the Brickfielder winds that sweep across Western Australia. Bushflies are attracted to the protein in eyes, nose, mouth and sweat, which is why they hang around people. (They actually do have a use, as they develop, they digest cow dung and reduce the greenhouse gases it produces as it decomposes).
I'm really interested in your Tesla trip, what it was like, was there any issue with recharging, how long it took and was it expensive? I am looking at getting one in the next year if it is viable. I'm just worried about charging stations and how long it takes to charge.
Took like 15-20 mins to charge from 5% to 85%. It's alright to drive and the autopilot is handy, but I prefer our Cupra Born that we own. Oh and don't listen to the anti EV people. We didn't have any issues and havnt since owning an ev
@CharlieandRob But you were stuck on the side of the road for 20min so it will only take 2 other cars and there's you hr wait, at which point it becomes very much a chore
Stubborn Petrol Head? Ok sure, guess I'll just have to accept how morally superior an electric vehicle is compared to anyone driving such an antiquated mode of transport that is an ICE... Out of curiosity is child slavery still the preferred method of getting that precious cobalt out the ground and into the battery car you're so fond off? I guess that extra time while charging on the side of the road can be spent reflecting on such a wonderfully humanitarian and environmentally friendly vehicle@@RobReacts1
Hey Charlie and Rob As I had Commented before about video editing and thumbnail design , You replied to edit a video for free and if you like it , we can continue further, I'm ready to do a video and thumbnail for you for Free Now How can we Connect?
Rob's getting well practiced at the Australian wave with all those flies 💁🙋🤦🤠
Becomes second nature eventually and you don't even notice
Good to see more of the country built on the sheep's back
You do the Aussie Salute,
Perfectly. Rob.
Good to see you've got the 'Aussie Salute' down pat. We've only got 2-3 billion of the little Aussies. Takes forever to count them each year...
Looks like an awesome trip. Try some Lemongrass in your sunscreen for the flies.
I lived at Moonta Bay for my teenage yrs, wonderful place to be, we still go there or Port Hughes at least once a year. We travelled from South Aussie to Queensland one yr by car the silo art was a major highlight, Dozens of them along the way. Enjoy your stay.

Yet to see that one but photos look great
We call swoting/waving the flies away the Aussie salute lol
I remember seeing a pink lake in W.A. that was actually the colour of bubblegum, it was just amazing.
Also........Go Lions!
Well done for coming up close to my neck of the woods mate. Maybe next time travel a little bit further north to the flinders rangers where I am, and see where the country meets the outback at Wilpena Pound. This is a drone operators dream.

I love Port Hughes. I lived there for 6months when I was teaching in the nearby town of Kadina. Glad you enjoyed it.
Good to see you got 100 million more followers (flies). If only the little bastards would hit the like and sub button.
Yes the southern ocean is cold, warmer up north but the flies bite up there.
Haha yea unfortunately these followers don't watch the videos
Can't believe you got the drone up in that wind 😳👍. Great to see the silo art, I'm always in awe of the artists who do that 👌
Loads more awesome drone footage coming up in future vlogs!
@@CharlieandRob 👍, so it wasn't as windy as Hobart?
@@leandabee not quite! Haha
If the flies are driving you spare get some aerogard spray and keep in your car for when get out and do walk abouts. The only other thing that keeps them and mozzies at bay is a good stiff breeze.
Seen lots of silo art across SA and Vic. My favourite I think is Wirrabara
Seen a few of the silo art in SA when I went driving there in April but didn't know about Bute. At Quorn there is no painted silo art visible during the day. However, at night there is a silo art projection show showcasing the local area that is called the Flinders Ranges.
I live in western Victoria, a lot of silo artworks.
All are different.
😂😂😂 the Aussie salute flys
That action that you are doing (constantly) of shooing the flies away with your hand, is called 'The Great Australian Salute'.
Aeroguard for the flies Rob
There is so much Silo art on the way out to Mum's, will send some pics on next trip out, some of them are soooo amazing
Shooing the flies is known as the Australian salute. You should go to Port Lincoln sometime a great drive and to Kangaroo Island. Port Hughes is a fabulous fishing spot. The Copper coast has so much history. Silo art is everywhere.
Haha we have got very good at the salute!
Silo art isn’t meant to be a distraction, it’s a draw card. Many people, including myself, plan driving holidays to see some of the art.
Love the silo art, such a great way to brighten up the local area and as you said, something to stop and have a look at.
The rail line has been closed for 33 years. Use to take grain to Wallaroo for export.
Grain stored there transported away by road these days.
The Rooster on the left of the silo art is very significant to the Bute township.
The Bute football club use the Roosters as a Mascot.
Oh interesting
Bushman’s is the best fly spray.
7:16 Got the Aussie wave going on. That's why we are so friendly waving at everyone. ;)
The roast lamb way turning so I smashed it with Raj curry it is a softer one. Then Hot curry it is a harder on. Then I threw about 6 of my own chillies at it. I couldn't taste the flys. A bit like when my Chinese mate thought I could not handle his family dinner. They threw a bucket of chillies in. His parents were sweating and coughing. Great times. I had some tears but men don't talk about that. ;)
I think there's an Australian Calendar with the Silo Art.

I love your drone work and the scenery is so beautiful !
Thank you! The drone shots add so much to a vlog!

Glad you enjoyed the video!
Fantastic video
I would’ve stuck a big fat bright pink filter on that video and freaked everyone out with how pink it looked 🤣
Haha I would have done that if it was rubbish when we got there
we were there two years ago , still have a chunk of salt from there
Get to big W and get nets in the camping section to go over your head to keep the flies away.
It was only an issue in SA...well a little bit here in sydney
@@CharlieandRob it's everywhere let me tell you 😂
LOL, yes SA is typically cool. You WILL have to make at least ONE trip to OZ in the summer. I'll discuss it with you on Monday!
There’s pink lakes in WA at Port Gregory and on Middle Island off Esperance. A lot more pink than what you saw here.
Good to see you did a bit of myth busting on EVs.
Yea, unfortunately you have people that believe the myths!
Love that you're getting out of the major centres, there's quite a few silo art trails around the country, one in Victoria is from Winton, near Benalla, to Tungamah up towards Yarrawonga on the Murray well worth visiting, and the pub at Gooambat does an awesome steak sandwich. 😂😂
We were moaned at last year for not venturing out quite as much 🤣

We did an SA road trip in a Tesla in February. Lake Bumming was drier and pinker then. We could walk out to Nessie.
Oh thats cool
Fly season doesn’t really hit until summer. You ain’t seen nothing yet lol.
You were at Wallaroo. If you had gone to another town near there called Kadina, you could have gone for a Cornish pasty. There is another prominent town called Burra and that is where the Cornish miners came and lived in dug outs. You could have seen them.

Just a bit of trivia for ya.
The silo art started in Northam Western Australia in 2015, then the other states liked it so much they jumped on the bandwagon
My home town of Adelaide, there are some awesome touristy places in the state. Lots of fantastic wineries to visit
next time you come to Australia come to WA and road trip to Worlds best beaches in Esperance ... on way back go to Albany and The Stirling Ranges
Definitely get out of the big cities - you visited those last year. Put on some cheap Old Spice cologne - that will keep the flies away....😅
Well Aussies can't say to get out of the cities this time round 🤣
Well at least your driving on the correct side of the road you know when the Seppos turn up they drive straight at you. Southern Ocean is a bit cool in early spring .
Haha very true
I’m glad the lake was pink for your visit, having driven past it countless times growing up in SA, I know it’s not always pink. I’m looking forward to driving past it again very soon when we’re over there visiting family again.
needs purple rain for that pink colour
@@suave-rider huh???
@@michellewatson4843 it's a fukking joke.
Yea we were warned it wasn't as pink as usual due to a lot of rain previously. But yea pretty pink!
Flys-=Aussie salute
Glad you have a drone ! Thanks Mate
I've literally just upgraded to the latest one and that's even better!
Another awesome video... Great job guys. And a big thank you to your host 😊
Thanks Melissa!
Still too early for swimming in SA...the ocean current hasn't brought the warm water yet.
Great video guys! I’ve only seen the silos in one town, Colbinabbin in Victoria. There are 4 silos, all amazingly beautiful. People are doing road trips centred entirely around silo art.

Haha yea understandable why people don't open their mouths!
Ha ha
“Bug spray” is essential and should be DEET, that’s the only type that works.. ☠️
It’s likely that the poison spray is still safer than the bugs. You need mozzie nets for your bed when you get further north, or just if you don’t like being bitten.
Have fun! 😊
Great footage of the pink lake. I hadn't heard of that one before. I know the one in WA - Lake Hillier , bubblegum pink.
Lol the flies love you Rob.
I haven't really had an issue with them yet where I am in south east Qld.
Beautiful drone footage from around the 9.17 mark.
Love our Silo art in Australia. There's also a lot of water towers around with art work too.
There's silo art trail maps that people do on driving trips around the country.
A great vlog guys, amazing art…..but OMG……how on earth does anyone cope with those flies !!!! Unreal, how annoying they were 😂😂
I can tell you I was getting incredibly frustrated!
That bakery is great.
Since cultural organisation, FORM, conceived the idea to paint a gigantic vault in the WA town of Northam in 2015, silo art has exploded across Australia. Colourful creations are now plastered all over these towering structures in upwards of 50 locations, predominantly regional centres.
Go to a camping store, and buy a couple of flynets. You're welcome.
Hey there you two! Are you coming through Victoria this time? I'm thinking you might like to visit the big Magpie sculpture in Euroa! 😂😂😂😂
We have been in Melbourne for 2 days for grand final but heading up to Sydney in the morning
hi mate what you do to with your hand wave it passed your face down here we call it the aussie salute enjoy your stay here glad to see you came back mate david from gold coast
Had to look up where Port Hughes was but found it near Moonta which might have visited as a kid. Too long ago to remember what it looked like down Yorke Peninsula way.

Drove through it I think
This Saturday Night/Sunday Morning, the following states will put their clocks forward 1 hour for “Daylight Savings” to give an extra hour of Sunlight throughout the summer months:
- New South Wales
- Victoria, South Australia
- Tasmania
- The AC
- Norfolk Island
An extra hour of sunlight baby!!!😊
Sad though, the following states/territories don’t participate in Daylight Savings:
- Queensland
- The Northern Territory
- Western Australia
- Christmas Island
-Cocos (Keeling) Islands
why would we, we have enough daylight in WA as we don't have a mountain range to the West of us.
HiGuys Daylight savings in SA Vic NSW NT starts this weekend
It’s the only thing in Bute.
You need to buy a roll-on aeroguard... apply to ears, cheeks & forehead
Didn't work 😭
Remember that there is a chance that water came from Antarctica......
Moonta Bay and Pt Hughes were my 2nd home growing up, any excuse we'd escape over there
I feel the same about Wallaroo. Many great memories of holidays on the North Beach.
There’s some great vids of the silo art trail, plus some showing how they are painted. I enjoyed your vid today, but do you have the fluffy things for your mics, cause that wind drowned you out in some spots?
Yea I do, but we didn't realise how windy it was and we were away from the car
Get the Aeroguard out :-)
I had stuff on lol
Are the pink lakes created by purple rain?
👏👏👏🤣
Hey guys. Are you still in Adelaide? Planning a meet and greet again?
Hey, No we are in Melbourne tonight. We did a meet and greet already on Friday 15th. I announced it on both channels, did a video and on instagram
@@CharlieandRob Oh man. How did we miss that! I thought we had seen all your vids. Anyway, have a great remainder of your trip.
Someone stole the Locheil monster a few years ago so they replaced it
Rob FYI Ketchup and Tomato Sauce are different.
Yup I know
Sooo enjoyed this, thank you! Algae + bacteria in a salt lake...need the three. Did you buy some Aeroguard?
I had some on and it did nothing
The roll on is the way to go - it works so much better than the spray! I haven’t seen a fly all year at my place, a few ants around and the odd spider though.

Gee charging a vehicle for an hour on the side of a road in the middle of a road trip on 40 degree day in summer sounds like it'd be a fun time🤔
We charged it from like 5% to 85% in about 15-20 mins while say in and air conditioned car watching UA-cam. Hardly too much of a chore
@CharlieandRob But you were stuck on the side of the road for 20min so it will only take 2 other cars and there's you hr wait, at which point it becomes very much a chore
@@justinhollis5579 haha I needed a wee and a drink as well after a long drive. Unfortunately, you're always going to get stubborn petrol heads... 🤦♂️

I guess that extra time while charging on the side of the road can be spent reflecting on such a wonderfully humanitarian and environmentally friendly vehicle@@RobReacts1
Are you living in Australia now
Haha nope
Flies? Mate we can see your face. When your face is covered in flies then you know its bad.
Haha
Try Alice Springs Airport . Monster flies. Outside staff wear fly net hats
...yeah and its not even summer yet. It gets so much worse...
Come to Queensland ffs
We came to Queensland. Just be patient for the vlogs 😉
