I'm blown away by the quality of the videos, I mean, they've always been fantastic but you guys have seemed to hit the next level. Well done!!

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thanks mate, that’s awesome to hear. Nice to know what we’re doing is noticed and loved 🥰🤙🏻

[@coversadventurecapers2838]

Absolutely stunning drone footage at Porcupine Gorge! Our kids loved the dinosaur trail when we did it a few years ago.

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thanks guys, it was a pretty spectacular place that gorge. The Dinosaur trail is great hey, especially for the kids!

[@dovey8884]

Mate that drone action with the music in the gorge was magical good job 👍🇦🇺

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thank you! It deserved some magical music as the gorge was breathtaking 🙌🏻

Wife loved it..some of the best she said....were big utube watchers..

We all love a bit of banter

Banter is Aussie hey?! 💁🏼‍♀️

[@krisfairweather5794]

For sure

[@andrewpicha6238]

Awesome drone footage again guys 👍

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thanks Andrew!! I loved the footage Chris got at Porcupine especially, must be because the kids and I weren’t there nagging him 🤪

[@outbacknomad9939]

Always a good show

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thanks mate 🥰🤙🏻

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Jack was cute... he sort of wanted to laugh and cry with the hose in his face. He’s growing up! 😀 Amazing storm footage x

[@BigOzExplorers]

He wasn’t sure if it was ok or not hey 😂😂 we had a chuckle that’s for sure lol

[@wendyhicks3473]

What a spectacular video the scenery around porupine gorge was great. You do such a good job with the drone.

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thank you! This was a truely stunning place though, hard for that not to come through on footage 🥰

[@Foolish_Paul_Australia]

Another great episode. 🙂 And you've added another region that I'll have to visit myself. 😎

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thanks Mate, that’s great to know we’ve shown you something new too 🥰

[@TiffanyLawrence]

Such a cool location 🙌🏻

[@BigOzExplorers]

It really is 🥰🥰

[@livingtotravel4290]

We are planning the dinosaur trail this year so this was awesome and well timed down our planning.

[@BigOzExplorers]

That’s awesome! I hope we’ve made the wait a little more exciting and shown you some of what to expect 😁

[@mervo1477]

The best thing about this channel is just how wholesome your fun is. its always great watching and catching up. Superb vid as always cant wait for the next one. Also you should add a supercharger to the family.

Thanks Merv 🥰🥰

[@rozadams7808]

@@BigOzExplorers They could just use all your footage you have already made and sure you have many more hours not edited .. Only for a price of course 😉...$$$

[@roypowell3450]

Well we have just viewed 40 to 43 absolutely brilliant. Those hot water springs are something else could do with them here at the moment!! We loved Winton when we visited last but the Waltzing Matilda was closed because of flooding. Our friend from Townsville laid alot of concrete there and spent months there. Cheryl isn't moaning about the dust in our home anymore, but I am not taping the bloody windows up!! :) Speak soon take care..

[@BigOzExplorers]

You're getting through the numbers now, a quarter of the way around Australia!

[@stephenlane3078]

You guys are awesome, I just wish I had the balls to do what you have got going in your life instead of listening to others and those words, you have 'responsibilities', go out there and enjoy your life, thanks for showing us what is out there once again AWESOME!

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thanks Stephen 🥰🥰 We were in the same boat at one point too... Chris was always keen to go but I was the ball and chain and the reason we didn’t do it sooner. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Letting go can be hard but it’s the best choice once you do it, hope we see you out there one day ☺️🤙🏻 Cheers mate!

[@grjh58]

Amazing video, I think the best yet although all are good 👍. As everyone said the drone footage is great and you match the music so well. Jack is becoming the star of the show 👍😃

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thanks mate 🥰🥰

[@jasonja1981]

Stayed in exactly the same site at Richmond, left the awning in and just sat in the shade of the van. Loved the drone shots of porcupine gorge, a couple of battery's worth there.

[@BigOzExplorers]

Your right it took a bit to get all that footage, but so worth it 🤙🏻🤙🏻 thanks for tuning in Jason ☺️

[@km4fsi827]

Great video as always!! First i want to say great job with the drone flying! i also fly drones a lot. Here in the US were i live we also have huge thunderstorms, it is always fun to watch them at night time! It is good that the campsites there have tiedowns for your awnings, but here most all of our caravans have awnings that don't need to be tied down. they have wind shocks on them and will just retract under a wind load. they have a adjustment on them so you can tilt them too make the water run off one side and will power retract. BULL DUST!! that's cool, never seen that around here..😀 that was funny. As always yall do such a good job with editing (and that sucks, i hate editing videos). yall be safe and keep up the good work!

[@BigOzExplorers]

You have a self retracting awning?! 😲 can you send me a link so we can check these things out? Maybe we need to import one over here 😃 Yeah it seems bull dust is quite an Australian thing I’m hearing! We love the pictures you can get in it but gosh it makes a mess, it’s super fine and gets into everything!! Thanks for tuning in again mate, catch you next week! 🤙🏻

[@km4fsi827]

@@BigOzExplorers the one i have is a lot like this one. you can even set it to retract if the wind gets too high. it has a rain sensor also. www.etrailer.com/RV-Awnings/Lippert-Components/LC517517.html?feed=npn&gclid=CjwKCAiAl4WABhAJEiwATUnEF1UZUjFR5igd1A0d_GoVTyYjbTXYo4aCsgawvN0NA8FDAHO_PG5gxRoCgpMQAvD_BwE

[@Ducksouttheredoinit]

I think this is one of your best Vids! Hands down Next level! Judging by the other comments, I am not alone in thinking this 👍 I love the blaa blaa from little Jack. What a star 🌟 The drone footage and (again I say it) the accompanying music tracks are simply gorgeous (see what I did there?) No. Really. Great job guys. 😉👍👏👏 We were up there in late 2016 and it was HOT AS #%&$ And we didn’t have AC! We did The powered site and pool chase as well. Great job guys! You are an inspiration I wish Sian a speedy recovery 🤗 Cheers for now 🦆

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thanks so much Greg for your comments and feedback, means a lot! Good to know you understand the heat we’re talking about too 🤣catch you next week 🤙🏻😁

Hi Guys was the road from Hugenden to Winton fully sealed, just making plans and can't find to much info, Thanks

[@seanchristie7150]

Awesome video as usual, unfortunately when we went through Winton the waltzing matilda museum was not re opened yet, so an excuse to go n do the dinosaur trail. Loved the storm footage

[@BigOzExplorers]

Bugger Sean, sounds like a great excuse to go and do it again! 😉 Thanks for tuning in again 🥰

@@BigOzExplorers thanks n my pleasure, your videos always have excellent information and awesome content

[@rw4866]

This is such an awesome episode Chris and Sian! Do you recall where you stayed whilst in Winton?

[@BigOzExplorers]

We stayed at place called Matilda Country tourist Park, just had a look on a map it looks like they’ve changed the name to Winton Roadhouse. Nothing fantastic but not when I can give you a bad recommendation for either, good place to stop for power of water in the middle of a hot town :)

[@colinross6259]

Nearly enough drone. Nice footage Porcy gorge. Dinos look interesting. Sian, what are you doing to yourself girl?

[@BigOzExplorers]

Nearly enough drone, we’re improving. 😂😂 I’m so clumsy sometimes, don’t know how I’ve not hurt myself worse to be honest! 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@vantripinoz369]

thanks for a great episode. Could you tell me what the road is like from hughenden to the gorge? is it sealed as we have a jayco campervan

[@warrenjopson7903]

WOW Porcupine George is spectacular such awesome scenery and love the music you select, where do you get your music from need some of that just to listen to, keep em coming

[@BigOzExplorers]

It really is amazing!! Definitely add it to the bucket list 👌🏻 We use epidemic sound for all of our music, it’s a paid subscription for royalty free music. They have some really good stuff 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Afternoon guys👍

Hey Brent, thanks for tuning in this week 🤙🏻

[@katherineporter2654]

Great episode this is a place on my wish list to visit. What do Paul and Annie do with Thor when they can’t him

[@BigOzExplorers]

Definitely keep it on the wish list it’s amazing 🥰 they utilised Sian on this occasion as she was still at home but otherwise some pet friendly caravan parks will ‘dog sit’ for a day or if it’s a short trip they can leave him in the aircon van. They’ve also used vets for overnight babysitting when very remote checking out national parks and you can’t get a powered site.

[@katherineporter2654]

@@BigOzExplorers that’s awesome. He gets a holiday too 😀

[@wheretheroadtakesus523]

It would be amazing if you could show us your First Aid kit and what you recommend for a roadtrip. I'm clumsy like you Sian and I find most kits are full of crap.

[@BigOzExplorers]

That’s a great idea! 💡 We can include that on an upcoming episode for sure 👏🏻👏🏻

[@sizzlingscuba104]

Keep up the great vids guys!! Would love to know what youR fuel economy is like with the big rig?

[@BigOzExplorers]

when towing anywhere from 21-27L/100km. This depends on if we are loaded to the rim, carrying water, jerry cans ect and also the road, cape was around 25-27 as it was slow on corrugations and dirt etc... normal highway is 21-24 ish... driving without the van we run around 15-18L/100 depends on how we’re driving it 😜 you could get lower but we enjoy the car too much 😂

[@sizzlingscuba104]

Love your work!! That’s actually not too bad for what your towing Thanks

[@thorcruse6888]

Great video and informative for our group that are travelling north later this year . Helps to know the layout a little before we go . Also what drone are you using as does a great job or is it the operator ?

[@BigOzExplorers]

Glad you’ve enjoyed it! 🥰 the drone is a DJI Mavic Pro 2 and I’ll have to give Chris the credit here, he drones most days and has gotten very good at it (although it is a great drone too ☺️🤙🏻)

[@globestomper437]

Hey when did you guys go? We’re going in November and just trying to suss out the weather

[@BigOzExplorers]

We were there in November 2020 so what you see here will hopefully be very similar!

[@meaghandillon5055]

Really enjoyed this episode! We’re heading to the dinosaur trail in September, curious to know how many days you spent in Winton?

[@BigOzExplorers]

We did 3 nights in each Hughenden, Winton and Richmond. It was enough to get everything done with a little bit of extra time available. If you don’t want to be ‘on the go’ every day, maybe 4 in each location? Hope this helps your planning 🥰🤙🏻

[@meaghandillon5055]

@@BigOzExplorers thanks! Porcupine gorge looked fantastic! That’s on my list too! Can’t wait for the next ep to drop! ☺️

[@sharynnollnoll5795]

Great episode, thanks guys. I think Jack is going to be quite the talker when he gets going😆. We are heading up to longreach-Winton area in April. How long would you suggest we spend there to allow us to have a good look around including the dinosaur trail you guys did?

[@BigOzExplorers]

Minimum 2-3 nights in Hughenden/Richmond, possibly 3-4 in Winton as there are longer drives to reach each location. We did 3 nights in each location and saw everything ok... If your more for a slow pace, go the day extra, you’ll love it! ☺️

[@twocoddiwompletravellers]

Do you have to take down your clock when you travel?

[@BigOzExplorers]

I’ve never taken it down, it’s come off the wall twice by itself (and survived lol) on extremely corrugated roads but otherwise I leave it. 😁😁

Hey guys, Love your vids and I will admit I'm addicted. I have one question, where do you guys find your music for your vids. I have only really just started out doing some video editing and finding suitable music seems to be harder to find than anything else. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, keep 'em coming.

[@BigOzExplorers]

Hey Gav, thanks for following! We have a paid subscription to Epidemic sound, we tried the free path and it wasn’t easy when we needed so much and regularly, we started with NCS which is all free if you display the music names, just read the ‘rules’ ☺️ good luck with your editing! 🤙🏻
