Exploring a Beautiful Australian Creek with RARE Fish
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2023
- In this video we head to Seary's Creek in Queensland, Australia; a beautiful freshwater stream for swimming, which is teeming with aquatic life. We got to see some native rainbow fish (as well as some creepy catfish). We were also lucky enough to spot a rare/endangered species in the creek which we didn't expect to find!
Jason from Australian Biotopes showed us around the area with his family, and Nick from KeepingFishSimple also came along with his girlfriend Sarah. In Part 2 we will visit more of Rainbow Beach and show you another spot where we were able to catch some fish.

I'm so happy to see Stripeys doing well in Australia. They're getting scarce here around Kaua'i, and one of the best populations is vulnerable to dirty water from a nearby river during floods.
I travelled around qld in 2015 and rented a place in Hervey Bay for 6 months and spent a great few weeks on Fraser Island. I spent most of my time snorkeling and appreciating the marine life. Now I'm back in England and have become addicted to freshwater fishkeeping. My most recent additions are red neon blue eyd rainbowfish, while researching them I've found your channel and absolutely love it ❤ my nephew now lives in Maryborough and I've been sharing your videos with him and planning on exploring the freshwater ecosystems with him asap, so you have 2 new fans and have helped a young lad aquire a new found healthy hobby and we owe you a massive thankyou. We hope you get all the luck you deserve and blow up massively and keep inspiring the younger generations to put down the phones and computer games and appreciate the wonderful world we all share x
Wow, thank you so much Steve!! That's absolutely fantastic, and that makes me so happy to hear 😊 That has made my day! It's such a great hobby to get into, and I'm really glad this has been able to inspire your nephew. Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏
O yes, nice super video out at the Creek do I see Nick and Sarah and Jason you a nice lady I'm glad you let them come over to shower at your beach getaway apartment I see you Katy had a nice day and fun.
Thank you so much James 😊
Another super fun vlog. Well done
Thank you Blake 😊
Great video Kaity, some good memories right there, I really enjoyed showing you, Nick and Sara around, it's great seeing the younger generation enjoy some of our pristine areas with such enthusiasm, lets hope it's there for your kids to enjoy in future as it has been for mine, I'm sure my young fella will look back on this and see some great memories as well, Thanks for sharing, we all had a great time except for the heat wave but the aircon in your apartment brought us back to feeling normal again 🙂
Thank you so much Jason 😊 It was a great weekend and I appreciate it so much how you have been so willing to share all of your wisdom
So true Jason
Love australian rainbowfish, empire gudgeon and eel tail catfish. very happy to saw them in natural habitat. Thank you very much
Fascinating creatures!
I chose to watch this, after giving up on all of what was available on Netflix, & I made the right choice!
Your content is better than all of Netflix, as voted by me!
🐟🐠🍿
Wow, what a huge compliment! That's so kind of you!! I appreciate it so much 😊❤️
Awesome thank you! Never thought to go looking around in all the little creeks when I was living up that way ha ha. Cheers!
It's great fun!! 😄 Thank you so much
I like every time you go to the river and catch fish. First with lots of boys and second with your friend magie I like magie. When I was little I used to catch fish in the river but now the fish in the river are rare. Looking at the thumbnail of this video, it's like seeing a fairy playing in the river
Thank you so much 💗
This takes me back . I camped there for a week about 25 years ago also fed the dolphins at tinn can bay
When you complain about the heat spare a thought for us poms it's just above freezing here !
That's so cool! I was really hoping to see dolphins too but we didn't have any luck. And yes I definitely don't envy you in the cold!! 🤣
Love your vlogs Kaity! it's awesome how you don't just focus on the fish but the whole journey which I really appreciate. All your little observations, comments and details make it so fun to watch hahaha
Kaity: 4:14 "at least there's no bears"
Me: What in the Australia? Bears?
Thank you so much Tarun 😄 And lol I was thinking at least it's not Canada 🤣
It is so cool that you Australian fish enthusiasts team up and go for adventure and I can watch it on the other side of globe!
And it's great fun for us too!! 😄 Thank you for watching 😊
That was so much fun! Great job, thank you Kaity!
Thank you so much Rosie 😊
Love your work, Kaity. The ell-tail catfish took me back to my early teens when me and a mate would walk the creeks up behind Dayboro. We'd spot the nests and mark the bank with a stick poked in the ground. Then, once it got dark we'd fish the marked spots. We'd always go home with a couple of fish for us to have a good breakfast.
Thank you Brad 😄 That's so cool! I was always scared of them as a kid, and now I finally know I should be scared of them 🤣
Very nice. Especially liked the eel-tailed catfish.
Thank you :) They are so cool!
Just looking at you makes my day so fine. Not for the looks or anything but for the vibe that you bring along, that innocence and kindness !
Awwww, thank you! I really appreciate it, that's so nice to hear 😊
@@Kaityscichlids More power to you ❣
Thanks for showing us your trip. You really work so hard driving hours to see the native fish and creatures of Australia! It's cute how you have an apartment while everyone else is in a campsite. You are really an adventurous person and we are lucky enough to share your experience 🤩❤️
Thank you so much 😄 And it's an absolute pleasure, I definitely can't complain about it! 🤣 I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
I live in Gympie which is not far, your last episode i thought of suggesting a trip to Searys creek. It is beautiful! Excellent job!
That's awesome!! Thank you so much 😊
Congrats to Team Griffin. Go 👀 you guys having so much fun with great sportsmanship. Great job to Paul for organising this fun activity. Hope to see the next one soon.
Thanks for sharing Kaity, that was a really good narrative. Good job
Thank you so much 😊
I've been waiting! 😃
Lovely video, Kaity, as always! Coffee, fish, rainforest and good company. What else could one wish for?
Just out of curiosity, what is your day job?
Thank you so much! Yes it was a great adventure!! All of the things I love 😄
I just learnt so much about my backyard 🙏🏻
Hi laila!! 😁
So refreshing seeing Aussie footage laila. Utube needs more of this!!!
I love it. Bare foot. Our accent. Our wildlife and country. Beautiful.
"I need my coffee"🤣
Terrifying eel!! 🤣
Laila says hello 🐦💗😄
@@Kaityscichlids hey kaity. As your channel get larger, just becareful giving out location where u live etc OK ! xx (I'm sure u are already)
As long as u are in the video it's amazing x
Thank you Jamie 😊
Great vid Kaity, we really live in an awesome part of the world hey. Eventually, you should road trip all the way up to the Daintree, you'd love the 100's of cool places like this along the way
We certainly do!! I would love to do a trip up there 😊
Yayaya. I will watch a bit later tonight kaity!
Another great video. Cooloola is such a great area too. I usually disappear up the Upper Noosa River in my Kayak for a few days. Such a pristine area, especially when you get away from the tourist spots.
Thank you so much 😊 That sounds lovely!
NICE....👍
Thank you 😄
What a beautiful place you have there!!! As always great video. Cant wait for your next one.
Thank you so much Jushua 😊
Thank you. I love these trips
Thank you, that's great to hear 😊
I'm loving all your outings!!! keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Sfephen 😄
Enjoy your adventures
That was a fun adventure, thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you Carl 😄 I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video!
Love your channel!
Thank you so much Carl 😄
An interesting walk, looked at with pleasure. Thank you. Like
Thank you 😊
Excellent video, I'm loving the behind the scenes look of these nature mini documentaries. Excitedly waiting for part two.
Thank you so much Michael! 😄
Great video! I definitely love these videos you put out. This experience must be amazing. I'd definitely would love to travel to Australia to check it out. Thank you for taking the time to do so.
Thank you so much Mark 😊
Excellent video. What an incredible experience seeing fish in the wild that we normally see in aquariums. Great observations about the nature around you. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much Dominic 😊
Thank you for sharing this experience and what an amazing experience it is surrounded by such beautiful country … ❤️🔥😊🙏🏼
I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing it 😄
Love it, can't wait to see the next ep. I holiday up at tin can/rainbow pretty often but never thought to explore the creeks like this, something to do next time.
Thank you so much 😊 And for sure!! I'm so thankful for Jason showing us these spots. I would never have realised places like this existed either
Really like your vid’s they have a good balance between your fish others passion for they’re fish and getting out seeing the wild side. Thanx
Thank you, that's great to hear 😊
Looks like you are having a great time in our beautiful Australian bush….🫶
Thank you!! ❤️ It was a great time 😊
Cool video Kaity. That’s for sharing. Looking forward to part 2.
Thank you Alan! 😄
I have always loved nature and exploring! Awesome Vlog and wonderful UA-cam channel 🙌🐟🐠‼️
Thank you so much Joey 😄
You have such beautiful journeys ❤️
Thank you Ryan 😊🙏
I’m looking forward to part 2!
Yay!! 😄
Love watching your videos. The way you describe stuff makes me feel like I’m actually there. Can’t wait for your next video. Wish you sold merch like coffee cups and shirts.
That's so great to hear, thank you Brian! 😊 I will definitely look into getting some merch made
Heading there for a camping trip to explore the creek this weekend! So keen to see the ornates in the wilderness
That's awesome!! What perfect timing. I hope you enjoy your trip 😄
Another fantastic video, you have a different approach than many people who have channels here. He doesn't just go to the shops, he goes to the places and has contact with nature. I like to see.
I'll apologize if my English isn't the best, basically it's online translation, when I had the chance I should have learned it, I certainly wouldn't have needed to use a translator. But for now I will have to use this tool.
I liked the room where it stayed, and at the end another shop with Coca Cola made in Australia.😄
Thank you so much Paulo!! The translator is doing a good job, I can understand what you are saying well 😊 I really appreciate your kind comments
@@Kaityscichlids When I was younger, and my parents were alive, I could have taken advantage of and developed many things, one of them learning English.
Later, when the possibilities are more limited, we regret not having done things that could improve our lives a little. But anyway, I appreciate your sympathy.
Love your vlogs kaity.
Thank you so much 😊
What a lovely and pristine area , it looks well looked after.
Yes it is a gorgeous place! And definitely well looked after
Love your vids, you live in the most amazing place on the planet. Thank you so much for showing natural habitats. Get an A+ for getting a room. I couldn't find "Stripey Fish" as a bio genera🤣😂
Thank you so much Sean 😄 It was definitely a great idea going with the room 🤣 And after filming this I found out those fish are literally called "Stripey's" lol
I hope you realise how lucky you are being able to do this. Thank you for sharing this
I am definitely very, very fortunate! Thank you 🙏
Love the adventure videos. You, Nick, Jason and all the Aussie Fish YT crew should come to Florida sometime. I really think you'd love the fish here...wild and stores. Great vid!
That would be amazing! I would absolutely love that 🐊
@@Kaityscichlids Well...let me know if you're ever in the neighborhood. I got the boat, snorkel gear and all the masks. You all show up and I'll show ya some fish.
Really loved the video Kaity you are the queen of Australian you tube love you sister
Thank you so much Mark 😄
Very interesting
Nice😀
That was an amazing adventure to see, thanks for sharing. Yeah the fish must have been terrified with all the people. When i used to keep real tanks instead of just 2 fighter cubes now, the natives section was always first or second of interest so these biotopes are always a joy to see. Do fish shops even have native sections these days? Havent noticed in years.
Thank you 😊 There is quite a good selection at most of the local stores here in Brisbane, especially for rainbowfish in particular
Really nice! Thanks for sharing this, Kaity. This may be the closest I ever get to Australia. Who knows? Maybe some day. . . . 🙂
Thank you so much Ron 😊 I'm sure some day you will be able to pay us a visit!
@@Kaityscichlids Always looking forward, Kaity. Thanks.
Ever come across little freshwater crabs? They are heaps coolio.
I think we saw a couple of them!
Nice work.. Love from India
Thank you 😄
enjoyful video
Thank you Stephen 😊
Your tent looks like an invitation to snakes, spiders and scorpions, unless you have an inner tent
There was an inner tent inside!
Awesome video Kaity! Love how you detail the journey! Looking forward to part 2! Are ya using the new camera?
Thank you 😄 I used it for a few shots but I need to buy a gimbal for it still otherwise the footage is super shaky
@@Kaityscichlids the shakiness is all part of the adventure! 🤣
Top 💓
너무 멋지네요 모두모두 행복만땅하세요 화이팅
so beautiful, I'd love to go into to that bush !
wow that sounds really creepy !
let me rephrase ,
the landscape there is so beautiful, I'd love to go into the forest there !
apparently bush means something different in Texas .....
😂😂😂 I also learnt that "thongs" means something different in the US. It was definitely really beautiful 😊
Excellent video. A friend breeds the Searys Creek Rhads here in the States.
Are there any of Australia’s venomous snakes/spiders around that location?
Thank you so much Alishan 😊 Wow, that's so cool to hear they are being bred over there! There are brown snakes and death adders in the area we visited, and there might be some other types. There would also be redback spiders too. We didn't see any but we did have to be careful when walking through the rainforest and long grass
Quick question, in the beginning of the video when you were using your automatic fish feeder, the feed dropped through some plastic screen. Could you tell me where you got this plastic screen please? I would love to add that to the top of my aquariums, brilliant idea. I'm from a very hot area and it will help let the heat out from the lights but also stop my fish from jumping. Love your content, very interesting.
Thank you!! They are custom made lids from NVS Aquariums. They are based at the Sunshine Coast in Australia but can ship to overseas too. You just sent them the dimensions for what you're wanting and they make it :) This is their website but I contacted them through their Facebook page nvsaquariums.com.au
💚💚💚
Great video and fish, I got some new fish today lol
Thank you! That's awesome 😄
@@Kaityscichlids welcome anytime and yeah lol it would be cool if you could check it out
😍
So the thumbnail has the picture of a pretty young lady on it and the start of the title reads _"Into the Australian bush."_
Immediately I thought, *_"Hello...!!"_* 8-))...
But I'm joshing. I knew it Kaity would be looking for fish somewhere ;-))...
Thank you 😄 hahaha yes, I am always on the lookout for fish! 🤣
@@Kaityscichlids I'm glad you appreciate a warped English humour 8-))...
Keep up your great work. ;-))...
😎👍🏻
you have a cool tanks
Thank you 😊
nice
Thank you :)
That eel was only 30cm - 45cm and you'se got scared lol 😂
😂😂😂
Kaity the catfish spines are venomous
I love you❤😅
Good lord i wish i lived in AU!
We are definitely very lucky here!!
@@Kaityscichlids well just not beautiful fish but beautiful women! Not too many clear water areas like that around my state here in the U.S.
Im also tired of the cold weather! Went largemouth bass fishing yesterday and about froze myself LOL not to mention our lakes are getting very low without any rain!
Do you ever get crocs near the creeks?
Aussies don't care if there are crocs in the water, everyone knows that
Crocs are like puppies for us. we actively go looking for them, its the drop bears and bunyips that worry us.
@@BobBombadil So true
If you go about another 2-3 hours North then you start to enter their habitat. We are a bit too far South for them
@@Kaityscichlids So true
Hello Kaity.
Hello!! 👋
You look so cute Kaity.
Thank you 😄
Crushing so hard lol
How far are you from the aboriginal people?
Don’t mean to be mean or anything, but I highly doubt that was a natural Bridge. It might be, but I think it’s unlikely.
I like you kaity
Thank you 😊
Oh my God, who is that incredibly beautiful blonde goddess in that small bikini?
That's Sarah just casually looking like a model 🤣
@@Kaityscichlids 😂 does she also have a youtube channel?
@@alex-s4 She's the girlfriend of Nick of the Keeping Fish Simple UA-cam channel.
R u single?
Hi Kaity, i went to a creek in the Hunter Valley last week. Caught 100 odd baby fish all the same kind…They were..
“Eastern Gambusia (Gambusia holbrooki)”
All ranging from fry too 3cm
Thought you might find this interesting as you were the one who inspired me to explore my local creek.
Hi Mason! That's so great to hear you got to have a nice day out catching fish 😊 And great for the ecosystem too taking them out of the waterways and helping the native fish!
seventeen lovely minutes
Thank you 😊
