@@Steven77K Hahah wow. Thanks Steven. That honestly is really kind and deeply appreciated sentiment. You have just made our day. We love making pieces like this for ourselves, but when they resonate with somebody like this, we get a massive kick out of it. 🙏 I don’t think these do as well in the algorithm, because we don’t try and attention hack in these clips, we don’t follow trends, we don’t do any of the things that you are supposed to do to be successful, also we don’t offer many tips or cross-promote etc. all those things drive viewership and subscription. . .but honestly, I just like to make videos like this. If they don’t move me, I’m not interested. . .so that’s what I try and make. Thanks for chiming in and coming along for the ride. ☺️ It means a lot. ✌️

Well, it doesn't feel that long ago to me. . .but my life is relatively unchanged. Kids only look a tiny bit different. . .you grew a whole new one in that time. 😂

@@SaltEarthandSun lol - To be fair Tania did most of the work on that front.

Well thanks for watching! 🙏👍 Was a bit of fun! Can't wait to get back up there to be honest! 😜

Awww shucks! Stop it! That's beautiful! That was a super special experience and we're so glad we were able to do it for the kids. . .they will never forget it I don't think. It was stunning. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks David. 🙏 So glad to have been able to share a bit of it and stoked that you enjoyed it. This was seriously just the best fun! 👍

100% Agree. Previously seen by fellow travellers, some amazing drone footage. However, the quality in this Gibb series is far beyond. Showcased beautifully.

Check out all their other vids! Amazing! Especially the tassie series 👏🏼🙌🏼

Hey Neil, the level of excitement you have for what we do with these videos is actually very humbling mate. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. It's lovely to hear this sort of stuff, because to be honest, I am so close to it, after shooting and editing it, I forget to see the big picture and tend to focus on the things that are wrong with it, rather than just enjoy what's right. But no doubt I will love to look back on this as we all get older and the kids grow and leave the nest. It really has been the best time of our lives and we're just so bloody grateful for it all. We couldn't have done this trip without the support of the guys @ VisionRV and our other clients over in Broome from the year before (Which you haven't seen yet. 😜) - so it was just cool that it all worked out for us and aligned the way it did. 👍 I hope you enjoy El Questro as much as we did when you get there! Make sure to save a few extra pennies for the heli trip - and if you hit it a bit earlier in the season, I reckon it will be flowing a lot more, it was very dry when we went. Thank you again. 🙏

@@Denis-zb5pf Thanks so much Denis. Kind words, much appreciated. 🙏 It's not hard up there though, you point the camera, and magic happens. 😜

@@jennawhite8626 Ahhh Tassie! ❤

Thanks Noel! :) Much appreciated!

Hahahah Bummer. . .We really enjoyed it there. I guess it depends what you're into eh. . .

Hey Darren, thanks so much mate. 🙏 Much appreciated. We fit it in where we can, but it's hard to balance it and do our production company work as well. 😂

That's bloody awesome David! 🙌 How cool!? That stokes me out! I loved our time in Tassie such an epic place. :)

Thanks Denis! 👍 Much appreciated. 🙏 Yeah, I fly as high as I'm allowed, but not allowed over 120m. Would be cooler if we could go a bit higher, but such us life without a REOC. The scenery is stunning up there . . .wait until you see the next episode. . .it's my favourite! :)

Hahaha mate, anything out there that isn't dust and from your own fridge is pretty amazing after a while hey! 😂 But they were awesome! Just nice to have that little bit of escape from heat too, nice shade, cool breeze, greenery and grass. 🙌

Hahah Brother, I'd rather take my chances with running the batteries flat and swimming with actual crocs than dealing with Katie if I threw her coffee machine out. 😂A man must know the real dangers in the wild. 😜

Thankyou! Yeah brother, used the R5 on this but have since upgraded the RED to the new V-Raptor XL which is a vista vision sensor. Pretty in love with that TBH. 😜

Oh god, don't say that! 😂 I had a look but I can't see a croc! Tell ya what I would have felt kind of totally irresponsible if there was one there. At least we all lived to tell the tale! 👍

Oh brother, that sounds like so much potential for awesome. 🤩 Now how can I make that happen!?

Cheers brother. 🙏 Yeah, and if we went up there and it was dribbling across, we would have been shattered. Have seen a few crew drag vans up there, but just couldn't justify it. The consolation prize was pretty flippin' good Though!

@@SaltEarthandSun 💯

That would have been awesome! 9 weeks. 🙌 Yeah, I hear ya though. You want a bit of adventure. . .but not a car floating down the river, or being hopelessly bogged with the van in red mud. No bueno. 😂

Thanks heaps Jase. Yeah, it was a pearler that storm. Lucky it skirted us, hearing how bad the one at Mt. Barnett Station was enough for me. 😂 Yeah, I appreciate that - you always get struck by FOMO when it comes to these sorts of things, but at the end of the day, we did what felt right, even though it hurt.

Oh man, I would love to see the Gibb just after the wet, but everytime we've been we've run late in the dry season and missed all the big water. Spewing as it's absolutely stunning when all the gorges are full and waterfalls are pumping! Still loved it when we've been and definitely keen for a trip back!

Heyyy thanks heaps guys! Glad to be posting again. Just had trouble getting editing done! Life has a habit of getting in the way! 😂 Many more to come. It all starts ramping up now to a fairly epic final episode. 👍

@@SaltEarthandSun editing is the worst! But sometimes I love rrwatching certain videos I had forgotten about! Can't wait to watch it!

Hahaha cheers Richard! Thanks so much! It was a super fun trip, strangely quiet as it was late in the season, but still had to watch the pressures. 😜

@@davidbulbert7765 thanks heaps David. 🙏 I film these for us mostly, but present them so they work on KZbin too. If I liked it or found it interesting or if it was special to us as a family, it usually makes it in…. It’s trying to find the right mix of having a camera in the hand and experiencing the moment on a personal level. But I will say, as memory fades I very rarely regret being on the camera. Those moments captured this way are like a crystal clear recollection. Almost like by not having the burden of remembering every detail, that smaller details, like smell, taste, feel, are preserved and the visuals do the heavy lifting of the memory itself. Weird…. But it’s nice. Thankyou again for tuning in and sharing your feelings. The girls will be stoked! They always get a kick out of people commenting on their exploits. 😂🙏🙌

@SaltEarthandSun great reply. You've described delayed emotional intelligence as a future experience. I'm going to use it as my wife dislikes me having a camera in my hand ( im a bird nerd) when she is with me, as she feels I'm to distracted, but I think you've given me a loop hole.

Cheers my man! :) It's definitely something we enjoy doing. It's just a matter of balancing the camera time with lived experience time. Dead right about the dunny. Looking for dump points out there is fairly fruitless.

Hahaha how good?!? 😜

@@darrenschmidtke2843 Hey Darren, thanks so much brother! I do love making pictures and seeing them come together in the edit, and been doing it for 20 years or so now. 👍 glad you are enjoying it man and thank so much for the kind words. 🙌 It gets better and better as we go. Sure was a lot to see!

I first saw your work with your Tassie videos. I live in Tassie and always interested in how others portray our beautiful state.

​@@darrenschmidtke2843 Hahaha Yes! Still some of our favourite places on our whole trip and we still think of it all the time. Tassie will always hold a special place in our hearts! ❤

Hahah same bat place, same bat channel. . .wildly different bat time. Same Batman. 🦇

@SaltEarthandSun can't wait to watch them! Hopefully drop in to see you guys on our way back down south.🍻

Cheers Darren. We did this trip a little while back. . .but you know us. . .not exactly on time with delivery. 😂 About to start mixing it up with a new car build though. 👍

Awesome to be back! Thanks Richard! 🙏

Ha! What a comment! 🙏 Thanks so much Roger, you're way too kind! This one was a nice little opening, and I think they get better and finish with a bang, so if you liked this, no doubt you'll like what's to come. 🙌 Appreciate you taking the time to comment mate. Made my day. 😜

Thank you David! So glad you enjoyed it mate! Really appreciate the kind words and hope you enjoy what's still to come. 🙏

Thanks heaps man! Was a good time. :) More than a little bit jealous that you have just done it again, perfect time of year for it! 🙌 Did you like it?

@@SaltEarthandSun we absolutely loved it! 3 weeks offgrid was so good and camping on the Pentecost river was so good unlike the corrugations 😬😂

Is this an old epp ?

Yeah, it happened awhile ago. But this is the first time we posted it here.

Hahah don't I know it! Certainly wouldn't have as many arguments over hair brushes, that's for sure. :) Thanks for tuning in again Rich. Glad you maligned the experience! 🙌

Hahahah well, Rich, good thing we make these for us and not you hey. 😜 We appreciate all comments as it helps the algorithm - so please go and watch all of of our other videos and comment when you find them equally as disheartening - it helps a lot. 🙏

Thanks much mate. :) Much appreciated! 🙏

Thank heaps Tom. Very kind of you to say mate! It's a beautiful part of the country you have down there! We were lucky and grateful to experience it!

True, but then I’d have something that I wasn’t happy with… and unlike the majority of channels, I actually make these for me and my family. What may seem unnecessary for you actually triggers an extremely strong sense memory for me and whoever else experienced that same moment….. so there’s a method to the madness. 🤷‍♂️

That's sad - but also becoming increasingly common. People don't have a great deal of respect for their surroundings these days and it just sucks. There are 3 times as many people on the road travelling now than there were when we went. It's harder to find spots and that also means 3 x as many drongos. 🤦‍♂️

Thanks heaps Dave. So glad you enjoy sharing in what we get up to. 🙏 And super grateful that you let us know. 👍 Hopefully have more soon.

Thanks heaps Darren. 🙏 It's nice to be back with more of our trip. Editing it now is certainly different, the kids are so much younger. Ada used to get quite self-conscious watching herself on camera, as it didn't fit with her self image, but now she loves to see what she was like when she was 'little' (all 3 years ago!). 😂 So, yeah, it's great to look back on already.

Alan, thanks so much for taking the time to write. 🙏 It's so nice to hear stuff like this, actually nearly brought a tear to my eye and I shared it with the family and they were likewise moved. It was a hard thing to overcome, but yes, the feedback is so lovely to get and definitely inpires me to get back to editing more. 🙌 We appreciate you. 🙏

Thanks so much Peter. 🙏 Very kind of you to say and it’s nice to be back at it. 🙌

Hey Gary, sorry about that? What about the video looked low quality exactly? Didn’t really film too differently to normal - and it was uploaded in 4K?

Watched again and everything is video quality is good. Regards Gary@@SaltEarthandSun

@@garyjohns8299 ahhh that can sometimes be caused by KZbin testing your connection and finding that you don’t have enough bandwidth to stream the high res versions without it constantly stopping and buffering. So it drops the quality to whichever lower quality level will sustain smooth, stutter-free playback. It sometimes gets confused though, so you can force it to the quality you want by clicking on the little ⚙️ icon and choosing “quality” then selecting a higher quality level. 4K is the highest. 👍

Awwww ❤ Thanks Audrey. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Glad you enjoyed it. I was feeling so wonky about this one, so that's really nice to hear. 👍

Thanks heaps Richard! Nice to get this one away. And looking forward to doing the next one now! :) More to come.

Nice! 👍 That's awesome! Yeah the birds are special hey, I think about them all the time strangely. Just so cool. 😍

Hahaha Merry Christmas Rich. Thanks for your valued input. 🎄🙌😂

Thanks heaps Kate. 🙏It's a magical area! :)

Hey Jim, Thanks so much! Super kind of you to say! :😌🙏
