Having a time to relax and literally do nothing is something I have not been able to do in a long time and the idea of this I have to say is really appealing and looking at the areas the views the lovely campsites that you visit really makes me want to do that for us , thank you it’s lovely .👍❤️🐾

Thank you Sassy, sometimes just sitting at a location and taking it all in is so much better than being on the move all of the time.

Back in ‘69 my family and I spent a couple of weeks at Black Point in a shack up the eastern end as guests of Dean Stringer (ex Red Legs player and footy commentator). Dean had a clinker built boat with a 7.5 horse outboard and we (Dean, my dad, my brother and I) went out on the boat every day. The bay was invariably as smooth as a mill pond and the fishing and swimming was outstanding. We trolled for snook, hooked squid, mullet and whiting and caught blue swimmers. Great days for a 15 year old kid.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Sounds good Gary. I can recall the first time I saw the bay, it was a hot summers day and the water was so blue and like glass. It can be a very pretty location.

[@dennisfromoz6436]

Rippa Mate. Busy as you be with them northern trips, you still find beaut interesting locations for us viewers to enjoy....This was so informative and tempting us to follow your tyre tracks. In the next week, me & my lady are going to become a mobile roadblock as we head north ourselves for a couple of months, so CB turned on so as to chat with yourself or another ABC colleague. Hope your not in trouble with the Yorke's councils in damaging the red cliff face...LOL Once again, my lady & I do praise your efforts in entertaining us...Cheers cobber.

Great video Mick & Sally. SA has some real undiscovered "gems" (to us outsiders that is ). Speaking of the water tower art, recently in Victoria in one town they have used fluoresent paint which shows up at night time when lights shine on it. That row of silos I saw in your video would look fantastic at night time painted!! Take care and safe travels!!

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thanks Greg, yest Port Giles silos would look great with a bit of paint on so many cells there. One day we will do a near on complete silo art trail tri through all states.

Hi Mick & Sally, thank you for all your great videos can’t wait until we head over to SA so we can check out your beautiful state.. I noticed you have a stone guard on your van now and no rock tamers which do you prefer as we are think along the lines of a stone guard… Thanks irene &Vince

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

It wasn't until we fitted the rock tamers that we noticed stones sitting on the caravan gas bottles and the front tool box across the caravan each time we pulled up, said a lot for the rock tamers. That is why we now have the stone guard and we no longer find the stones when stopped. Each to their own but we would never go back to rock tamers.

Another great video. Love the sound of the waves so thanks for sharing that. First thing I saw when your post turned up today was the little note about your drone, well at least its fixable. The drone footage certainly enhances what you can see. The watertower art is wonderful. Up here we have the silo art trail.

[@robertdahl8779]

Hello Mick and Sally, Love your laid back approach sir, I found you on youtube with your truck videos. Are you producing more of these, they are great videos very informative and allow us to see parts of Australia you don't normally see. I have a question for you, what size wheels are on your caravan, The van sites nice and low to the ground, which is quite refreshing, it must be a breeze to tow with your vehicle. Stay safe both of you, and please keep the videos coming. Robert

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you Robert, glad you like the videos. I will do another truck video only when a story presents itself. My current run to Darwin is the same each week with most of it being done in the night hours so to make another one just for the sake of it, the video would only repeat what has already been shown. Our caravan has 15 inch L/T tyres fitted from the factory.

We are not as heavily populated like the UK so I would assume that we would naturally have fewer vehicles on our roads. We try to get away every second weekend at the moment which allows us to shoot all year round.

@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 Hi Mick. I have a basic dji drone, Phantom 3, that potentially did a similar thing. I was operating near Cliffs in a reasonable breeze when for some reason it lost the GPS signal and was blown towards the cliff. Fortunately I managed to manually fly it away and some seconds later it reconnected to the GPS. Most strange.🤔
