Around Australia by Motorbike - Episode 7 - Burra to Apollo Bay

I leave South Australia and venture onto Victoria's potholed byways in search dry windy roads and more big things. There might even be an odd smile but nothing too crazy.

Your dry honesty cracks me up every time brother, Love your work, keep it coming 👊😎

[@abitofadetour7315]

Cheers. There's a few more episodes before I make it back home.

[@awby1]

@@abitofadetour7315 looking forward to them mate, bring it home safely 👍

[@cwarren4396]

Absolutely stunning! So much beauty to try to capture in photos.

[@abitofadetour7315]

I’d have taken more if I had more time. It’s a beautiful country no doubt about it.

[@ianr5844]

The wife reckons you and I could be best friends with our attitudes 🤣🤣🤣

[@abitofadetour7315]

I take it then that you are gentleman of impeccable taste but with a penchant for the drier things in life.

[@karlhoward2737]

Stunning scenery…brilliant travelogue…..brings back memories of the Great Ocean Road….thanks for sharing

[@abitofadetour7315]

Happy to share my experience with anyone who’s willing to watch! It was a great trip and I’m enjoying making the videos but I think my wife will be happy when I’ve made the final episode so she can get some time in front of the computer!

[@ricksilk485]

Excellent sound track ....... combined with the drone , very enjoyable thank you

[@abitofadetour7315]

You’re welcome.

[@rogerparis]

Very enjoyable, thanks.

[@johnmiller7370]

Another great episode. A great deal of effort would go into making each one. Well done !.. I enjoy the commentary, scenery, drone shots and accompanying music. I miss my 2012 Crosstourer. It was just a very nice bike, especially for touring.

[@abitofadetour7315]

Thanks for the kind words. There is a fair bit of work in each episode but I find it quite an enjoyable process.

[@oldshiny3012]

Dam You , you good man you. some how j happened to stumble here and found myself glued to the Pc for the first 7 glorious episodes of your adventure . Thumbs up for a entertaining watch , the dry whit & faint sarcasm was a refreshing change and pleasure to the usual over hyped , over exaggerated claptrap on KZbin. my only regret is i now have to wait for the next episode but luckily i subbed haha , keep up the good work and will look forward to the rest of the journey 👍

[@abitofadetour7315]

Crikey. Thanks for the compliments! Two more episodes and that’s all she wrote, three at the absolute worst.

[@oldshiny3012]

@@abitofadetour7315 will look forward to watching them

[@vontrueso9856]

Really enjoying this!.. a great trip, really well documented!

[@abitofadetour7315]

Nice of you to say so.

[@patchpaddy]

So much effort with the editing and putting it all together 👏 appreciated 👍👍

[@abitofadetour7315]

You're welcome, and yes it is a large investment of time, which is why it's taken me three months (in between work) to finally get it done.

[@martinandrewnewby1525]

There's a thing here on yt that shows the foundation laying of wind turbines,.

[@abitofadetour7315]

Thanks for letting me know. I checked it out and by gee, that's a lot of concrete and steel!

[@digbysdownunder]

Just come across ur channel.. liking it.. i can relate to the around Australia stuff.. ride safe cheers

[@abitofadetour7315]

Happy you’re enjoying the videos.

[@petercameron8832]

Been there but only on four wheels , well put together.

[@abitofadetour7315]

Two or four, it's still a great trip. Thanks for watching.

[@grantroberts7065]

When the mates and I did the GOR we had a look at the twelve apostles and it was a rainy day similar to yours. The place was choc a block full of Asians waving selfy sticks around everywhere, the joy flight helicopters were buzzing overhead, it was horrible. I reckon if you were a Vietnam Vet you would have been having nightmare flashbacks!

[@abitofadetour7315]

I actually shot a whole rant about the 12 Apostles in the carpark but I decided a little bit of whinging goes a long way.

[@johnstaring3210]

Agree, the 12 Apostles and other attractions are these days over-run with rude, loud, and littering tourists of mostly Asian stock. They are happy to elbow you out of the way so they can get selfies on the fence line at lookouts. They drive the wrong way around the roundabouts and generally cause chaos, they park on crests and blind corners to stop and take photos. I'm glad I have travelled that way many times in the past, I really don't want to (won't) go back there.

[@grahamcairn8379]

Well done you 👏...you can't be far from home now.

[@abitofadetour7315]

I’ve been home for months. These things take ages to edit. Two more episodes will complete the lap.

[@morgansmith6037]

Loving your work… wished I’d have met you when you passed through Albany.. you missed the best City of the trip 😉 I gotta ask am I the only one that thinks your actually Liam Cunningham 😛

[@abitofadetour7315]

Albany is on my list to revisit. The weather was miserable and I was in a hurry. Definitely coming back. On the other topic, my oldest son believes we look alike but we are almost certainly not the same person.

[@Bruski68.]

The wind turbines never go flat out, once they reach a certain speed they are prevented from turning, and thus only produce power when the wind is blowing between 5 and I think 20 knots.

[@abitofadetour7315]

That I didn’t know. Fantastic looking things. Cheers.

[@danielsims574]

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Really enjoyed every episode so far. Great footage; it’s like we are there with you 👍🏻👍🏻

[@abitofadetour7315]

Thanks. Nice to know people are enjoying them.

[@kensbikestuff]

Great video. What program do you use to trace the route on the map.Ken

[@abitofadetour7315]

I use Davinci Resolve. I followed this KZbin video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5aweaFseJeXY9k

[@petercameron8832]

55 tonnes of concrete, I have heard. Will never be removed.

[@abitofadetour7315]

Thanks for the answer. I’ve since watched some KZbin videos of the foundation’s being made and it is very impressive.

[@moist_potato2837]

soo uhh... what was in the cupboard

[@abitofadetour7315]

I'm afraid you're going to have to give me more to go on, I 'mm struggling to remember what you're referring to.

[@clubsportr08]

Well this one answered the service question. Very clever the static drone sequences showing you passing below that's neat. EDIT what drone/camera are you using?

[@abitofadetour7315]

I have a DJI Air2s. It’s a beaut! Biggest problem with the drone is the time involved in stopping and flying it. To get 30 seconds of video is a fifteen minute process but it’s worth it I think.

[@clubsportr08]

Damn straight very worthwhile footage to enhance the feeling of being on the trip with you.
