A day on the Yorke Peninsula / Huge Electrical Storm Ends Our Day - SA

[@Romeo-kp8tc]

Another great spot, Enjoyed vid, Yes of course lightning is a killer , My sister lost a beast on there property, I was there and saw the lightning hit the ground, Many yrs ago a dairy farmer didn't return home on time , Was found deceased with some of his cows , Machines still working, Lightning strike, Another lightning strike hit a large dead blue gum in creek, Demolished the whole tree, couldn't believe my eyes ,found lumps of timber the size of half fence posts, scattered a quarter of a mile away while mustering a few weeks later, Shows the power of some lightning strikes, Saw a lightning bolt go across the sky, very high , the sound ,shock wave took 10 sec, it was enormous, the ground shook , caravan groaned, to witness that was an eye opener, Cheers Bevan from Sapphire Central Qld Australia 🤠❤️🦘🦘🇦🇺

As a kid I can recall seeing trees that had been hit by lightning causing the tree to explode with wooden splinters being sprayed out over a long distance. Every now and again you hear on the news where people have been struck buy lightning.

Thanks Mick, very enjoyable viewing!

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@cherienafo7676]

Tailem Bend here// Lovely work !! I havent been to Yorke Pen since a child, so I thank you for this one- My 1st time seeing your chan, I,ll be back.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it.

[@Battsaboutparanormal]

I'm staying in coobowie at the moment at my parents house. I love the peninsula. hope you enjoyed your holiday ❤

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

At one stage we would take the caravan and boat to Coobowie stopping in the Caravan Park while we did some fishing for a week after the New Year, we did that for nearly ten years.🙂

[@mrfomiatti5515]

G'day Mick & Sally.🐨👍

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

[@mickkostiw589]

Hi again Mick, you sure present your videos in a very pleasant way, thank you, it's much appreciated. Mick

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Many thanks!

[@mickkostiw589]

@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 Your Welcome

[@kayenash5481]

Thank you, that's one place I haven't been! Yes electric storms can be ferocious!

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

I believe electrical storms will look for a target to strike onto to, I wouldn't like it to be looking at me🥲

[@TinaLienert-q9e]

Great vid. Loved how you captured the lightning. Certainly wouldn’t be out in the open, too dangerous.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Cheers, glad you liked the lightning. We too thought it look a bit hostile at the time.

[@el_carbonara]

id love to live on the yorke peninsula, would be so peaceful

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Sure would be🙂

[@bas4903]

As long as your close enough to a bigger town to do your shopping and stuff. Doctors are in short supply too. Used to live in Warooka

[@trevorpridham5644]

we live in wallaroo, and its definately not quite. crack heads everywhere

[@dougkruse1301]

Thanks, love seeing your country’s scenery, you are blessed to live in such a beautiful place.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

We just love the part of Australia where we live, glad you like what we have shown.

[@lindadunstall1790]

Hi Mick! Gr8 vid of your travels around Yorkes. Might be able to convince hubby who doesn't like sand, to at least do the tour & stay in a Motel somewhere. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Take care. 🥰🤠🦘🦘

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Great idea, there are plenty of Motels in the area that would please hubby.

[@katleenmstut4622]

Very good bakery at Ardrossan 😊

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Sure does.🙂Most country towns that have a Bakery, normally have a good one.👍

[@kymbiddell7467]

Great video as usual, we are just finishing 3 weeks on the Yorke which has been great. We were camped just south of Ardrossan when the big electrical storm hit, went for almost 12hrs and in the main went both sides of us. Got so great photos ( well in my opinion 🤣) But one bolt hit very close to the camp ground, multiple people reported feeling slight electrical shock, one lady sitting on the metal toilet at the camp toilet had very slight burn makes on the top of her legs and another standing near the building had what she described as slight burning to her feet. Nobody wanted to get any closer than that

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Sounds like a few people may have been a little lucky while the storm was about.

[@ronrogers9610]

Great video guys yes being out when lightning is around is not a smart idea all the best Ron

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Our feelings as well.👍 I think some may get caught up in the moment with the electrical storm and don't take time to see the danger.🤔

[@missblitzkrieg]

Omg I saw you two, when I was stayin down at Parham with my own mate Mick! That's so cool!! Love that you have your own channel! ❤

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

How cool is that, you should have come up and said hello😃

[@missblitzkrieg]

@justcruisinwithmicksally837 if there's ever a next time, i will be sure to come and introduce myself!!! Keep living the beautiful life!! 💖

[@jen7934]

Another great video Mick and Sally! We always look forward to them……. wondering where you will take us next 😀🇦🇺⭐️☀️

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Moonta Bay and then we are off to Tassie for 3 months.

[@rankoutsider1977]

Happy New Year guys and girls 💥🇦🇺

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Same to you, enjoy.

[@globetrotter683]

Another great video Mick. Are you going to do a work thru of what you have done on the New L/cruiser like you did on the Colorado?.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Unsure about that at this stage. We will not be doing very much with this vehicle compare to what we did with the Colorado. That being the case, there may not be enough to record to make a video worth while, time will tel.

[@robertwalker3902]

Enjoyed this one we have a town called Ardrossan just 25 miles from us in South West Scotland, p.s. Like yer land cruiser seem to be a good motor👍

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Ardrossan must be a popular name 🙂 The motor in the Landcruiser being a V8 twin turbo, has plenty of power to towing the caravan.

[@maude5160]

Hi Mick n Sally, great little trip. Pt Vincent looked like a great town as all the little towns did. Thanks for the trip. 👍

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you, such a great location to spend the day driving around.

[@roberthocking9138]

Some nice scenery there Mick, never been to that part of the world.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Cheers, glad you liked it.

[@Dirtserpent_moto]

I was there that day, you ever filmed me in my van about to drive onto wauraltee beach. We camped there that night on the beach but the wind got to much the following day.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Such a pity that the wind can spoil such a pristine spot.

[@cherylrayes8015]

Happy New Year, welcome back. Had some lovely blue swimmers at Ardrossen, but been too long since I was there, my list of places to visit is growing exponentially 🤣🤣🤣 now youre retired are you looking at a longer trip one the ute is all certified? Btw great lightening shots. Cheers, Cheryl 🙂

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Happy new year! We head off to Moonta Bay shortly for our annual trip which we have been doing at this time of the year. After that it will be the 16th of next month when we take our caravan over to Tasmania for three months, really looking forward to that one.

[@mikejung3908]

You forgot to show the protected sea water swimming pool, a must see when in Edithburgh.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

One of those things, very hard to show everything.

[@louisebrislane6607]

I was about to hi-tail it out even if you didn't, an awesome storm but not one I would like to be caught in. It is hard to tell how far south it was from you but I think it is at least five km or maybe more that they tell you to get off the golf course & get undercover. My son was in a soccer game as a boy when lightening struck the goal post & one boy ended up in hospital & there was no storm within cooee!! I like to be safely indoors when storms go by & definitely not on a beach in a tent!! That has never been my idea of fun!!

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

For sure, safety must come first.

[@dougtilley5977]

The only part of SA i have not been to, anywhere past Ardrossan If I get over that way again I'll go down to Edithburgh and back up past Minlaton

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

An easy and very enjoyable drive should you ever do it.👍

[@chrisp3044]

G'day Mick, thanks for the video and as usual entertaining and interesting. Wonder when you upgraded the tow vehicle and why. I must have missed the change out. What was the rationale there if you don't mind.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

We were too heavy as a combination when towing with the Colorado so we were forced to either change to a smaller caravan or larger tow vehicle. Either choice didn't please us but we needed to be compliant and legal when on the road.

[@petertoms3006]

Hey Mick the cruiser looks great. Did you mention you did a gvm upgrade. If so did it lift the vehicle.I need the upgrade but I don’t want the lift. We did both peninsula last year they really cater for caravaners. Cheers

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

The gvm/gcm upgrade that we had done unfortunately did come with a lift, something that we didn't really want like you. I am on the understanding that just a gvm upgrade will also have a lift. If you ring Lovells or Pedders, they will be able to advise you better on this. We are considering going over to the Eyre Peninsula later this year if everything works out for us.

[@GrahamJenkins-l3v]

Mick what happened to the other two tug...? LandCruiser now....?

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

We weighed the combination with the Colorado when we arrived home from our Flinders Ranges trip, the set up should have been the lightest it would be as we were nearly empty in all areas. The total weight was just too high so sadly a change had to be made.

[@johnmathisen1167]

Hey mick what’s with the Land Cruiser . What went wrong with the ute , not enough weight capacity?

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Unfortunately we were too heavy on the Gross Combination weight.

[@johnmathisen1167]

Another question is a lap coming up or just a big trip with the van?

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

We head to Tasmania next month for three month. Next year we are thinking about Western Australia via Queensland, time will tell.

[@peterjames8714]

Another very informative video. My wife & I are coming to SA this March April in our van. We travel with a small dog & stay in van parks. For first time visitors which peninsula would you recommend for relaxing/fishing - Eyre or Yorke ?? Cheers

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Each Peninsular is as good as the other. March April is a great time of the year to visit, hope you have a great time.🙂If you are coming from the East, I would go to the Yorke Peninsula if you want to save on distance otherwise flip a coin.👍

[@bill13690]

Really Enjoyed your videos here today, Mick. I have also started up my KZbin channel and it is called: Bill's Channel - sta I have so far Uploaded 4 videos. Regards William.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Keep at it and the channel will grow.
