[@realbudgiesmugglertwohatsb2611]

Really enjoyed watching this roadshow comprehensive and although the music is quirky bit like the producer it fits the brief nicely. Thought the narrative was well paced easy to listen to and drone capture and quality of vision spot on both visual and editing One if not the best roadshow review on you tube well done nice 👍

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you for your comments👍. The music is a hard one to get right, hopefully the channel is getting better as time moves forward🙂.

[@johnroos7021]

Nice video Mick and the length of it doesn't bother me at all. I like the way all the different venues are shown so keep it up as far as I am concerned .

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you, cheers👍

They were growimg potatoes in Tower Hill when we lived in Port Fairy!There were Peacocks in the FJ gardens when the place was working.We were living in W/bool when Flagstaff Hill was built. You picked a good day to see W/bool.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you. No doubt you hold so many memories of the area.

[@kayenash5481]

@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 yes I lived in Port Fairy before I was married, mum & Dad moved to W/bool then I got married & so the story continues. Thank you again for the footage 💖💖

Awesome videos. Leave them longer it's better

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Ok thanks! Glad you liked the video.

[@louisebrislane6607]

I'm loving the extra content as it is over 50 years since I visited that area & it is lovely to see what is there today. Absolutely loved that stunning sunset!! what a beauty!! That would be magnificent mounted in a frame. My son is a photographer & has many such roadside scenery photos he sells. We have a beautiful country - or at least we used to until the invention of towers & windmills started destroying the scenery.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Glad you enjoy it! No matter what anyone does to our country, it will always be beautiful. We are so lucky to have it.

[@brianbuzzen]

Great commentary style , nice and relaxed. Longer videos give us a chance to see a lot more scenery. Thank you.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Cheers, as long as there is content, we will keep them longer.

[@thollander9765]

Love your videos. We have travelled for over 50 years and, through your videos, are just realising some of the beautiful spots we missed. Looks like we have a bit of backtracking to do! Also love your audio. How the (relaxing) music fades into the background when you talk👍 Somewhere around the 30 minute mark seems about the right length for us. Keep up the good work.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you, glad you like the videos. There is so much out there to see, too much to be absorbed at once.

[@djjames6576]

Hi from Darwin. Great video Mick, the length was fine. That's a part of the world we've had to drive past before but put on the "next trip" list. It looks fantastic. Thanks for putting it together for us.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thanks 👍

[@cbeuck5024]

Another interesting vlog ...no it's not too long...curl up in the chair with a cuppa😊 Will include Pt F but will leave out W gardens ( I have photos of them from the 60's stunning) for others planning a visit KANAWINKA GEOTRAIL may be of interest - volcanic activity in the area - hope to do part of it in Sept Finally thanks again - the vlogs are great planning tool 🙏 Jan Adelaide P S. Safe travels🩵

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thanks Jan, have a good trip 👌

[@Scouse270]

I enjoyed the video Mick. Normally I would say 20 minutes to half an hour is a good length because it's easy to fit in around your day. but if you keep putting out great content I'll keep watching it

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Very good, thanks for the comment.

[@watchyatalkinabout4494]

Your standard presentation-Excellent If you happen to be traveling through mid Victoria on your trip I can 100 percent recommend a town called Hopetoun. It has a beautiful lake right in town, Lake Lacelles where you can free camp on the edge around the lake and catch some great sun rises and sunsets. In my opinion craft beers are flavoured bubbly water. Cold Larger is beer!

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

One that we will put in our memory bank for another trip. We will be heading back to the Southern Flinders Ranges for Easter via Swan Hill & Echuca but will not have time to see Hopetoun. I didn't find the beers all that nice.

[@debraparker833]

Another wonderful video, always professionally done. I have a question, your videos of camp grounds show barbecue (barbies?) have a flat metal surface, looks like a stove top. Where does the charcoal go? Sorry I live in the USA, we have barbecue grills and the charcoal is placed underneath. Lastly, your country is so beautiful, green and clean. How blessed you are to be surrounded by beauty. Thank you for sharing your videos.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Our barbecues are either gas heated or Electric element heated, we do not use charcoal in these sort of barbecues. Glad you liked the videos👍

[@gregw9289]

Your video of this area is absolutely superb!! When I was young and Parts manager I travelled quite a lot down as far as Portland to see customers but would also look around sometimes. So much to see! Your pictures of the sunset were fantastic. This area of Victoria (including tower hill ) was the last area in Australia with volcanic activity. Port Fairy hosts a blues music festival every year so that maybe was what was on. It is very popular event. Enjoy your travels both of you and stay safe!!

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thanks Greg, glad you enjoyed the vid👍

[@ruth.greening]

When we went to Port Fairy, many moons ago, we were travelling with the caravan too, and we were inundated with mosquitoes! Did you experience those? Blood suckers! Memories!

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

No mosquitoes for us this trip😄 Perhaps at a different time of the year they may be about.

[@AlexJacksonSmith]

Wonderful places and a great opportunity to get a feel for things... I like the length. I guess however that young people prefer something shorter. The question is what do you want as an audience? ;) Alex.,

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

The response to the current length has been positive.

[@AlexJacksonSmith]

@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 The long ones are better to get a feel... so I am happy. :)

[@louisebrislane6607]

The stairs are done like that to probably stop the water when it rains from creating long waterfalls & destroying the steps. Also possibly to stop kids from riding their bikes down them as well as I have seen young blokes doing this down stairs in the city until they put a stop to it by placing metal turn styles in but I stopped the video to look at the stairs & you can see how the soil has washed away in some of the stairs, so I think it is because of rain. We have a set of steep stairs in our front yard & when we have a heavy thunderstorm the waterfall created is very damaging.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank You for the info on the stairs, never thought of water erosion.

[@serial-traileurs1826]

Bonsoir Mike. Quel plaisir de consulter tes vidéos comme celle-ci aux magnifiques images. Concernant les bières, étaient-elles locales? Je n'ai jamais bu de bière australienne. Les australiens sont-ils réputés pour faire de la bonne bière? J'en vois 3 de couleur très claire et une brune plus gouteuse, si j'ai bien compris ton analyse. Combien de degré en alcool? Je conclus avec ces fabuleuses lumières (12:59), vraiment flamboyantes. Merci cher Mike et à très bientôt. JPhB from France, il s'agissait d'un week-end prolongé en Australie?

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

The beers were locally made by the Distillery that we visited and had the paddle at. I am not sure how well Australia is know for their beers, we have a lot of distilleries that make their own let alone the huge companies that specialize in beer.The beers were their own and ranges from 4.9% to 5.3% alcohol content. Yes the Monday was a public holiday over here.

[@serial-traileurs1826]

@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 Bonsoir cher Mike, Merci pour ta réponse. La France fait aussi de la bière, surtout le Nord du pays, mais nos voisins et amis Belges sont très très forts dans la fabrique de tant de très bonnes bières parfois très fortes en alcool. Merci, à bientôt et prends soin de toi, prenez soin de vous !
