    At firt I didnt realise how big those waterfalls were until I saw the little blue figure which was you! 👀 👍

      Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it. I don't like taking shots of me, but need to jump in to show the scale 😁 . I look so small compared to Victoria Falls.

      Don't miss South Lawson. That's the best I've seen so far, and I've covered a lot of ground 😁

    Thank you for inserting yourself into frame on those occasions you were at the various falls, Jason. I was taken by surprise several times at the scope of the site, which just wasn't representative without you for scale. Cheers.

    I love the places like Willawong Pool up in the mountains. It's got a very peaceful kind of "I'd like to swim here" vibe but is also stained like tea so you can't see anything in the water...

    Great video Jason. I really enjoy the mix of walking, narrating, life in your van and the superb video footage. Your editing is tops. I actually look forward to sitting down with a coffee on Wednesday and Saturday mornings (when you usually post) and watching your videos. I find that I'm getting ideas from your journey as to how to go about van touring as well as places to go. Cheers and keep living your dream, Sean.

    Another amazing adventure with my morning coffee. I love the nature walks and the attention to flowers bees bird nest, mossy rocks etc that you share.
    The trails must be pretty steep and challenging to make someone as fit as you to get a bit puffed.

    • @MakingStuffGoingPlaces
      @MakingStuffGoingPlaces  2 місяці тому

      Thanks Wendy.
      It's funny, as I got more fit, I seem to breathe heavier. So my puffing isn't a good indication of how hard the walks are 😂. Even a very short set of stairs will make me breathe heavily....it's like my body is anticipating something big to follow.

    Thanks for another great video. I saw out my teen years and my 20s in the Mountains, such happy memories before I wrecked my knees in a motorcycle accident. Was nice to remember all the lovely hikes I did and the Victoria Falls one is one of my favourites. You scared me at Faulconbridge I thought you weren't stopping!!! Can't wait for your next adventure!

    I agree, Terrance Falls Walk is a good one. Sometimes those waterfalls are deceiving, size wise. You don't realise how tall they really are in videos until you stand near them for scale.

    I asked my partner tonight if he wanted to watch the banana dumpling man in a blue van. He said yes!!! I liked the different tripod shot of you going air born on the bike and the way you treated that beetle was pretty cool. Also, no squealing bike brake disks works well for me too. Thank you. I wish I could help you fix that roof rattle in the van too. That would drive me crazy😄
