that bird that gobbled down that mouse!! OMG! I also loved your music choice in this one! Loved that beautiful beach and the summer vibes you gave us!

[@GinandRing]

Ahhhhh yes, how neat was that! So that was the famous kookaburra, Australias laughing bird! Brendan did really well to spot this one catching a feed. Our teamwork was on point getting the camera out at lightning speed to capture this moment! Lucky no one drove up behind our stationary car in the middle of the road 😂So glad you enjoyed this vid, it was fun putting it together ✌️😜 Hope you're both well

[@Wildernessadventuresoz]

Kristen and Sam I had one of these little fellas nick a sausage right out of my hands lol

[@KristenandSam]

@@Wildernessadventuresoz oh my gosh! That is so hilarious!

[@KristenandSam]

@@GinandRing I can only imagine seeing that! haha!! Hope you guys are well too!

[@Wildernessadventuresoz]

Kristen and Sam it took me a moment to realise what happened then we al, just burst out laughing. He was casing us big time and picked out the weakest hahahaha

[@tazzie_m]

That’s a massive potted tree hahahaha love it!

[@GinandRing]

I know how funny right!?!

[@McGuiresOnTires]

Hi friends. It's odd to see the bats hanging out in the open in the daylight. What a beautiful countryside. The rolling hills and the cows are really pretty. The kangaroo is super cute. Sorry you hit all the dead ends. But sometimes that can lead to some fun times for sure. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@GinandRing]

Yeh so bats hang out in the open everywhere here. Then at dusk in some places the skies are filled with thousands of them on the move. Next time we visit our birth town we’ll have to go on an adventure and share it! It super cool when you think about it! Mostly people got annoyed because the bats would eat all the fruit off their trees 😅 thanks for stopping by 🦇

[@McGuiresOnTires]

@@GinandRing Wow. That probably looks very cool!

[@josephspiteri2433]

You two always see so much wildlife. That intro is great I get stuck singing the song all day long

[@GinandRing]

We hear this A LOT hehehe Brendan definitely knows how to create a catchy tune!

[@brettyoung8691]

Just came across your video loved it thought Ned Kelly was great definitely an Aussie character keep this shit up and have to be a subscriber

[@GinandRing]

Thanks legend! Ned says g'day

[@brettyoung8691]

@@GinandRing hey you got back quickly love to see you guys doing stuff on northern NSW I have always said it's such a unique and beautiful part of the country and Ned cracks me up with the old dry witted Aussie humour

[@GinandRing]

Mate, it makes travelling all the more entertaining when he's around! The shit that comes outta his mouth is priceless 😂

[@SandraPinkParanormal]

Beautiful sunshine and the Beautiful Beach thanks for sharing this awesome video I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful sunshine on this snowy day 👍

[@GinandRing]

Glad you enjoyed it and yet here we are WISHING for our annual snow trip to Japan 😂😂😂 But we must admit we are really enjoying the summer here in Aus this year! And we've got some great beaches coming up, just stunning and sometimes we find ourselves completely alone!!! Soooo lucky!

[@CRJourney20]

Liked seeing the bats. Beautiful beach walk. Eventually the National Parks will open back up but the beach was a wonderful switch in plans.

[@GinandRing]

Absolutely!!! And there are sooooo many magical spots to explore. Honestly we could spend years just within our home state before we even nearly get around to seeing all the things we want to see!! So so lucky to be in Australia 🚐❤️

[@OlivesAndLemons]

Wow those bats! I've only ever seen bats in the wild once and that was on our honeymoon in Kenya 12 years ago! That was an incredible footage of that bird swallowing the mouse!

[@GinandRing]

We really had a wildlife filled day, quite by accident! The bats are everywhere here in Aus, we kinda forget that to other countries it would be special, kinda like when we see a squirrel when OS (no squirrels here). ANd the kookaburra eating the mouse, mate, that was some awesome timing right there!!!! You've probably heard the laughing sound the kookaburra makes, hes an Australian icon 🧡

[@OnVanLifeMode]

I love your intro so much with your original song!!! Wao, the capture of those bats during the daylight! 👍👍👍 Indeed absolutely amazing, what a beautiful bird!!!😍 Colorful and has hemp and happy high herbs , "Starbuds" 😂, cute and interesting hippie town! 😊😎 Well sorry for the man trying to sell you 🍀 It looks like it wasn't so funny at the end 😂 Australia's wildlife is just the most amazing thing!!!❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful capture of it by the way!!!!👍👍👍 Great video, Really nice to watch! Take care and happy travels and adventures! 🤗 Elvi

[@GinandRing]

Lol thanks guys, Nimbin is a great place, we’ll happily go again when heading north to Queensland! Thanks for popping by 😃

[@markzphotoscom]

First went to Nimbin in '73 it was ... ummm ... herbal.... lol.. You also managed to get a fair bit of wildlife, like that.

[@GinandRing]

I bet 😂😅😂 It would have been amazing to have seen Australia in the 70s, especially places like Nimbin! I mean it’s beautiful now but prior to all the development and back before the age of technology, we can only imagine!!! When we get home and finish this series I’m actually thinking of releases a short vintage series of a few places around the world from over 25years ago... (i think 25yrs makes the footage vintage 😆) There was so much wildlife, it was awesome! We’ve started to see more and more along the coast!

[@markzphotoscom]

@@GinandRing Think the year after going to Nimbin and Byron Bay we drove up to Cairns. Really only known for Marlin fishing back then. Sure has changed a fair bit now.

[@GinandRing]

It really has. We’re children of the 80s and even in our time it’s been such a dramatic change! If all goes well this year we’re hoping to get up North, it’s been at least a decade since we spent much time in QLD and I’m almost a little scared at how much it will have transformed 😳

[@lakesideliving677]

Another nice adventure! Have a blessed day! 😀

[@GinandRing]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@lakesideliving677]

@@GinandRing you are very welcome

[@JCharlesoutdoors]

Great road trip, ya gotta go with the flow. All the Best

[@GinandRing]

You got that right! 🤩 and having a blast doing it! Hope you're well

[@Explorcation]

Nimbin looks like a fun place to explore, I also enjoyed seeing all of the colorful buildings. You caught some great footage of birds in the wild - and that mural with the birds and other animals was cool to see too. What a bummer that the parks were closed during this visit, I hope you make it back to the area

[@GinandRing]

We definitely will, some of the parks we couldn’t go to we’re ones we were most looking forward to! When we eventually head North to Qld we will be stopping back at all these places we missed the first time around 😜 Cannot wait!!!

[@ChrisR2517]

Brendan, I too enjoy the birds so why did you cut the bit where Gin smoked Weed & threw her top off in the street Was there too much fall out over it ;-)

[@GinandRing]

Don't you just know us too well 😂😂😂 We gotta keep some of the goodness to ourselves, if people really knew how much fun we are... watch out Hamish and Andy 🤣🤣

[@ChrisR2517]

@@GinandRing Gin, Never ever admit to anything that may incriminate you down the track 🤣🤣

[@GinandRing]

Oooooh yeh, good point! I take it all back... nothing to see here, move along 😆

[@ConsidertheWonders]

Lovely area y’all 🙌🏼. Love the animals and all of the vibrant colors everywhere. Fun getting the locals to get in on the video 🙌🏼

[@GinandRing]

We love chatting with people, always find the best adventures after we chat with locals! And slowing down to chat means Brendan finds wildlife everywhere!!! 😂 win win

[@nefolimate1961]

I went there last week for camping. Such a colourful place it was.

[@GinandRing]

Soo colourful! Plenty of friendly people on the streets and the overall vibe is awesome! We can’t wait to head back that way and do the area justice with some more in depth vlogs! 🧡

[@Wildernessadventuresoz]

Lol guys Nimbin Is a great spot. It sure does have a reputation though lol 😂

[@GinandRing]

I know right, haha. I can only imagine how wild and amazing it would have been in years gone past 🌈

[@VanLifeinVietNam]

Loved

[@GinandRing]

Thanks ✌️

[@flightofthefox-aussietrave1430]

love all these quirky towns you guys have exposed to everyone! unfortunately, I'm shocking at knowing what is towns and suburbs are actually around me, but since traveling with Han I have such a wider knowledge of the general area. So I cant wait to do the East coast and see some of the locations you guys have suggested! Nimbin looked great, I'm sure that guy who was trying to sell you drugs was very nice as well 😅😂

[@GinandRing]

Oh you’re in for a real treat! Make sure to reach out when heading north as we are right on the nsw/Vic border and if we’re home, we’d love to have you two stop here and we can give you plenty of tips, much easier to discuss over a big paper map and a glass of red than filling you’re inbox up with suggestions 😂

[@tazzie_m]

Ohhhh I want to go there!!

[@GinandRing]

You would love it!!! Actually it would be a great place to live for you, nice temperature and sooooo serene!!!!!! And there’s pythons everywhere

[@markmeakins576]

Cheers and i wish u well

[@GinandRing]

You too mate 😎

[@markmeakins576]

It was the cigarettes that nearly killed me..

[@joro7392]

Nearly normal Nimbin 😜

[@GinandRing]

Yeh nearly, but seriously who'd really want anywhere near normal and what really is normal? Or maybe Nimbin is normal and the rest nearly is as far from normal as could possibly be 🤯

[@markmeakins576]

Its a lifestyle

[@markmeakins576]

However having a fogged up strange natural memories

[@GinandRing]

✌🏻 thanks for watching

[@markmeakins576]

Unfortunately the world doesn't live like a ghost in swamp
