Cardwell Spa Pools and more dirt roads! (Kawasaki Meanstreak)

Visiting Cardwell Spa Pools- an Instagram famous swimming hole! It’s a nice place. The road up to it is a bit interesting, especially on my completely unsuitable motorbike!

No one hates you mate! You're a cool guy riding a cool bike in some interesting places. Keep it up dude!

[@PaddyOutback]

Cheers man! For the record, that was self-deprecating humour!

[@quiethumour9856]

Love the Meanstreak. Mine was a 2004 1600 that I could ride for hours and hours and I never felt tired. A great bike for touring around and discovering new places.

[@PaddyOutback]

Definitely is. It has taken everything I’ve thrown at it without breaking a sweat so far!

[@douglipscomb3002]

I was thinking what a lovely place to live, and then you had to go and mention the crocodiles! Loving your work Paddy!

[@PaddyOutback]

North Queensland is not a place for Ocean swimming, mate!

[@ThrottleDownunder]

You certainly have some beautiful spots up there brother

[@PaddyOutback]

We’re lucky, definitely.

[@RoadsOfOz]

You are not alone with KZbin algorithm hating you. Feel your pain there mate.

[@HippoDrones]

I don't like dusty dirt on my adventure bike lol :D That water was quite eerie

[@cahalhayes9192]

Thanks for another excellent video keep on biking

[@PaddyOutback]

Cheers man!

[@mandi5283]

I had to rewind in case misunderstood "crocodiles"! Beautiful beach, I was wondering why there were no persons sunning. Love the aerial vistas!👍Thx.

[@PaddyOutback]

Yep, crocodiles. Big ones. Up to 7m (23ft)!

[@maxbialystock254]

I had a word with King Brian Connors and asked him if he would tell the local Aussie Pixies to keep the Crocs away from my friend Paddy. He said he would if you keep that bike upright! All the best.

[@PaddyOutback]

I’ll take all the assistance I can get!

[@mototurkey5289]

Finding interesting places by motorcycle is such a great pastime. Thanks for sharing it with us. Glad for the cooler day of riding for you. I’m jealous of many aspects of your exploration addiction, but I have to admit that I am not the least bit envious of your more typical heat index.

[@PaddyOutback]

I get a bit fed up of the heat sometimes alright. It’s “winter” here and it’s still warm!

[@Moz42]

That boat for sale, across the road from the rest stop exit was there the last time I went through Cardwell...some 3 years ago??????😁🤔 Very nice drone footage, Paddy. The building survived 150 years and Tropical Cyclone Yasi which near flattens the place. Good one. Ride well. Cheers

[@PaddyOutback]

Just passed by it about an hour ago. Still hasn’t sold it!

[@CalmBiker]

Somehow the annoyance of a seagull at the seaside has been put into perspective. Does the blue smokey water stop the bitey things?

[@PaddyOutback]

There would be no bitey things in the blue water. To fast flowing and cold for any reptiles. So it’s safe for swimming!

[@seanstrehle6312]

You old bike might been better on the dirt but the big quacker might not be practical but you sure look brave

[@PaddyOutback]

Just as well you can’t see the look on my face mate 😂

[@EpicAdamMotovlogs]

I saw water that colour once in a swingers club swimming pool. How do you find so many fun places to see when Oz is so spread out out?

[@PaddyOutback]

That place was 170km from my house. That’s about the same as Braunton to Bristol. So yeah, very spread out!

[@EpicAdamMotovlogs]

@@PaddyOutback probably a much nicer ride though

[@PaddyOutback]

A lot of it is kinda tedious. Just cane fields and a fairly dull road.
