Australia's FORGOTTEN state? | Exploring South Australia

[@witgob]

Great video. As a South Aussie, it’s always interesting hearing what o/s visitors think. We were stationed in remote areas, so know the Nullarbor well (although when we were there, you could go down and swim in the sink holes). It’s always worth a visit in Whale watching season. We were stationed at Pt Augusta when that plane crashed and my husband was part of the crew that guarded the scene and recovered the bodies. Very tragic. I was also born in Naracoorte, so know the caves well. We used to have barbecues in Blanche Cave. Enjoy the rest of your trip and safe travels. PS Hahndorf is not a place locals usually go, but the Academy is worth a look.

I enjoyed this video. I live in Adelaide and you brought back memories of places i've been like the hay stacks to places i'd like to go. Thank you!

What a great video!!! I'm a South Aussie who has traveled the world pretty extensively but am always so happy to come back and call Adelaide home. SA is a beautiful state with so much to offer and I'm always telling people on my travels they need to come here. Our beaches, wineries, hills, food, festivals, the fleurieu, Flinders Ranges... there is so much to love! Thankyou for taking the time to visit and show off our beautiful, very underrated state! 🙂

What a fabulous find, loved your travel video of Sth Aust. I’m from Naracoorte and so happy you visited the Caves there. I was in SA recently and it looks like you were in Adelaide roughly the same time I was, the Asia festival was the hint. You brought back some lovely travel memories for me of my trip back to SA recently, as I now live in Tasmania

[@motkawon]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it. I will do a video about Adelaide too, once I find some time for editing 😅

[@Lins43]

@motkawon I look forward to your Adelaide video. Any plans for a Tasmania trip?

[@witgob]

Born in Naracoorte and remember barbies in Blanche Cave - before the big discoveries.

Mate you were so lucky to be walking with that Goanna/monitor lizard. He was a beauty. Ive been out bush hundreds of times and never been so lucky to get close to a big one like him. Maybe its cause you were solo. A big King Brown snake is even more impressive. They have an aura.

[@criticalthinkersrule]

It was a diprotodon - huge animal related to wombats.

[@kingsleypalmer5691]

It is the remains of a wrecked light aeroplane. It flew into the side of Mount Remarkable in bad weather.

[@dickwilliam3793]

yes! he explained that in the video.

[@motkawon]

Yes, I quickly googled it when coming across the wreckage.

Eyre is pronounced air

[@motkawon]

Thank you, another comment mentioned this already. One never stops learning I guess.

Port Lincoln REPRESENT!!!

[@goannaj3243]

Shark diving in Pt Lincoln is expensive, done it twice, first without sharks, 2nd half price due to that and yeah, them sharks are huge. edit, 1st run had a great fun mob of sales reps, no sharks but a great day out on the sea with funny guys. 2nd run had sharks but the green seasick US marines needed sleep on their R&R. Fair enough they weren't here to eat cake and had a big booze up the night before, respect the troops, this is a place to test their metal and I'm sure they did.

[@juliemitchell9835]

Didnt you go to the Bluff at Victor harbour.Best views

[@motkawon]

Sadly I didn't, guess it's just what happens when travelling quickly. Maybe next time.

[@melsalteraustralia]

​@@motkawon yeah you cant see everything in one trip. I hope you loved it here in SA

[@witgob]

Also Whalers Way at Pt Lincoln. Spectacular

When did the opera house become Oprah’s?

[@motkawon]

@@travcat66 come on 😂 not my first language...

[@roberte5057]

Please don't make fun of his pronunciation. I doubt you could pronounce or even speak his language. A South Australian who is friendly to tourists.

[@anitacohen8753]

Forgotten state? It is best forgotten. Most of the population has been derived from the UK. Be warned. Give it a wide miss as most people do......their efforts are not in vain.

[@glenod]

eerie highway.... eyre hwy.... nah mate, its pronounced like the word air.

[@motkawon]

@@glenod thanks for that. Never too old to learn something new I guess😂
