Your video is amazing ! I never heard you say “are we there yet ! “ . People overseas say that the outback is boring because it is so empty when driving to a tourist attraction . They failed to see what you could see . I love it . Me and my husband drove across the hay plain and the sky met the flat landscape . You could look as far as the eye can see and the road seemed endless . The sky looked so huge and it was so peaceful . We saw kangaroos and emus though . You are strong solid and durable because you had the strength to travel across Australia . Thank you so much !
@NextMeridianExpedition18 күн бұрын
❤️ yes it is a fascinating environment . So we ve understood that because there had been rains the Roos and emus did not have to seek water around the road. We did not see even 1 kangaroo all the way through the center.

Welcome to South Australia! You'd be right to be nervous getting stuck on a beach. I was just a little north of Robe in the Coorong a couple months back and discovered an abandoned 4 wheel drive half submerged in the water. Could hardly have been there for more than a day, so it looks like someone got caught in the sand and then the tide. Although some of the remote areas can be dangerous, that's also part of their beauty. It's so nice to find remote places where you feel completely cut off from civilisation and the freedom that comes with it! Enjoy the rest of your trip + happy birthday ;)

Can you post the name of the phone service solution that you currently consider the best for your travels. I think I remember you using more than one method. From sim cards, eSimcards and other online services. If I remember correectly, once you settled for a service that allows you to simply pick the country where you're going, and you're able to switch over to a plan that is reliable and inexpensive without waiting for new sim cards.

U all should invest in a good brand kinetic rope as they work much better than straps.

Ur videos r so much more interesting in content with the wild offloading & the day to day ups & downs by far. Keep em coming🤘

Looking at the snake you saw, my guess would be a Shield-snouted Brown Snake. Like all brown snakes, they are highly venomous, and a single bite can be lethal.
