Hey everyone 👋🏻 It’s a real shame this keeps happening, but there is once again a SCAMMER posting in the comments section. We will never, ever do any sort of giveaways from any account but this one. Also, if the scammer watched the videos they’d know we can’t buy everyone an iPad 😂🤣

The signs are there to keep you alive. To remind you to rest...etc you might start seeing signs with trivia questions on them as well and then down the road an answer to the question. This is to keep you entertained and awake ...when youre only seeing vast distance of nothingness between places. Theyre not passive aggressive, they are there to help you stay alert. Fatigue driving long distance can be fatal, so where just keeping you safe 😊 Ps the signs themselves are like the everyday aussies... Straight to the point and honest.

Then have slowly been making my way back through all your videos.

Hi there guys, it has probably been mentioned earlier but you are doing what is colloquially known as the "big lap", the further north and then west you go you will notice many caravans and motor homes on your travels. The big lap is typically undertaken by retirees as the retirement gift to themselves, the are known as grey nomads crossing the north in winter to avoid the cyclone season which is in summer. Keep exploring and enjoying yourselves. Gary

G'day guys... yes, the northern crossing back to the north west will be more of a challenge for Blueberry as I understand it. You will see quite a few 4 wheel drive vehicles in the outback and FNQ (far north Queensland). But you are going north at a good time as the weather should be dry. The summer up north is hot and very wet later in the year. Safe travels. By the way, love the drone pics.... you have a great pilot !!

[@PaulinAsia_]

You will generally find Huntsmen in the eaves of a roof or if they get inside in the corners of ceilings. The journey from Mount Isa across to the Stuart Highway is pretty desolate. Remember, in the NT do not loiter near the banks of rivers and coastal shoreline...there are a lot of crocodiles and you could run the risk of being eaten.

[@tareskisloki8579]

Huntsmans are everywhere, but they're more active in Summer, so you won't see many at the moment. In nature they live under tree bark, so you'll find them in similar places like (in a car) under sun visors, in rear view mirrors, inside the door jams or (in a house) behind furniture, in curtains, linen cupboards, etc. Airlie Beach is pronounced like air-lee.

Hello you two lovelies! My partner and I have just spent the last few days binge watching your utterly delightful videos of touring Australia. We both love how comfortable and happy we feel while watching your travels. It is so nice to have your perspectives on our country and also see where you've been. We are travellers too..gypsies..living all over this big country..so seeing your journey has been a way of revisiting our travels and life styles in different cities.❤ We had a concert to perform last night and found your energies so happy ..so calming..so sweet..you helped keep us engaged and calm and after the concert, we are catching up with your last video to date. I also went swimming with dolphins in the wild a few years back but at a place called Tin Can Bay, where a dolphin befriended a dog and came each day to swim with her canine friend..this grew and became whispered about. When I went there, she brought her baby and I swam underwater with mother one side of me and baby on the other side. They were checking me out with their sonar. It was oh so special! I had just come from performing at the Whale and Dolphin festival..I felt so blessed. You are both so natural, kind and sweet. We are both glad we found your shares. We too both suffer from social anxiety yet push ourselves to perform our music..straight from the heart! Sometimes it is a challenge to find places where gentler music can feature. Thank you so, so much

[@tileux]

Watching you on the beach, I was thinking, jesus, listen to that buzzing. Why are the flies there that bad at this time of the year? If youre crossing the NT stay on the tarmac roads. Anything else, your car wont survive. It will - literally - rattle apart on the dirt tracks of the NT. Conditions on dirt roads are very very bad there amd it can be very very dangerous. Parts of the NT and north west WA feel like youre on mars. These areas can be very dangerous - road and weather conditions - unless you know them and how to deal with them. You do not want to get stranded or injured in these areas.

Great videos! On the subject of eating bush turkeys: Put a big pot full of water on the boil, go out and catch the turkey and also locate a rock of the same size as the turkey. Place the rock and the turkey in the pot. Boil the turkey until the rock goes soft. Throw the turkey away and eat the rock. :)

[@DaveWhoa]

best place to see dolphins is Monkey Mia in north Western Australia, you can hand-feed them (under park ranger supervision) in ankle-deep water, amazing experience. It's become a research hub for dolphin scientists around the world, they've been doing this since i think the 60s when fishermen on boats bringing in their catches would keep feeding them. But this is a similar experience! btw they only provide the dolphins with approx 1/3rd of their daily requirements, ensuring the dolphins still need to remain 'wild' and go hunt fish normally 👍

[@ahmedmashhour1912]

Congrats on the drone, guys. Can't wait for the drone shot of you driving the car, needs a little bit of practice, but I believe in you❤❤❤❤ also, the Big things adventure from Tia is always funny not to mention awesome!

[@efrique]

You've been in huntsman territory basically the whole trip, they live all over the place. You've probably been within a few feet of one multiple times already, without noticing (if they don't move they can be quite hard to spot in nature). They're not dangerous though. If you see one, don't panic -- you're vastly more likely to hurt yourself than it is to hurt you.

[@trevorkrause7220]

The bush turkey as known in Queensland is not closely related to the American turkey at all. It is nominally a creature of the rainforest and scrub and the male can produce nesting mounds of over a metre tall and several metres in diameter made up of mostly composting vegetation. Many females can visit the nest in any one season, lay eggs and then maybe visit other males' nests later to lay more eggs. The females then usually take no further part in nesting or raising the chicks. The male uses the composting vegetation to provide the necessary heat for the eggs to hatch and spends most of his time watching over his clutch of eggs and adding or removing compost material to keep the eggs within the optimum temperature range. The bush turkey was considered to be close to extinction around the 1930s with the major losses of their habitat but have recovered their numbers to where they are no longer considered as a threatened species anymore. They have become very accustomed to living in suburban areas where they can be quite a menace and destructive to home gardens. Under Queensland laws they are protected and if anyone is prosecuted for endangering or harming a bush turkey they can be very heavily fined and spend up to two years in jail. As bush turkeys were a traditional food for the native people, Aboriginals are exempt from such laws and can hunt these birds as per their own customs and laws.

[@hereandthere6001]

There throughout Sydney too only 20 mins from centre, mostly northern sydney where owners complain about their precious gardens being dug up. They were eaten during the depression and numbers dropped but have since regained. These are native birds and are a protected species.

[@retrozmachine1189]

One thing to remember as you drive the 3 to 4 hours between major cities on the QLD coastline is... the beaches don't stop. Sure there's the tourist traps such as Airlie but the whole coast of Queensland is essentially one long 2500km stretch of wonderful beaches and may not have seen a person walking on them for weeks.

[@RhapsodyBohemia]

The turkeys are actually brush turkeys but so many people call them bush turkeys that both names are now acceptable. We do not eat these turkeys (yes we eat turkeys but not these wild ones). They even hang out in my backyard in Sydney 😂

[@petemedium2185]

They are the enemy of home Gardners trying to garden on mulch and straw. The male builds the nest and the bigger the better to attract the female. Obviously, any gardens within Cooee ends up on his pile. Also he's the one who raises the young.

[@brettevill9055]

The other day I was trying to look up peewees in an Australian bird app. No soap. They were listed under their binomial name (which is obscure to me) and as “magpie-lark”. Peewees aren’t magpies. They aren’t larks. (In answer to the obvious question, they’re related to the flycatchers.) Nobody I know calls them “magpie-larks”. Nevertheless, according to the precriptivists, their official common name is “magpie-lark” and that’s the only correct English term for them. But really, their actual common name is “peewee”, because that’s what people call them. Around where I live _Alectura lathami_ are called “scrub turkeys”.

Also keep in mind there will be no reception for 80% of the journey, so a satellite texting/locator satellite is highly recommended. It may seem over the top, but even experienced travellers often get caught out. I love watching you both and am completely envious. Continued safe travels. ❤

cane toads were brought here from hawaii because some smart yank said they were great for eating cane beetles. it was the dumbest thing ever because cane toads can't climb and the beetles are up in the cane. you're in crocodile country now, you'd better read up on croc safety, don't go in the water anywhere unless you're 100% sure that there cannot be a saltwater crocodile there and don't be fooled by the the name thet're called salties because they live in saltwater as well as freshwater. when you get to darwin there's a place called doctors gully where you pay and go feed the fish at certain times, much like the dolphins in the video the fish come in on their own for a feed and have done for 50yrs. now it's a fish sanctuary.

good on you. taking it to the next leve, looking forward to all those awesome shots!

[@AuntyJack123]

Hahahaha I'm not sure how many wild animals are hand fed! Perhaps we'll call them mostly wild! Have fun with the drone!

[@hayleyrichardson9203]

Drones definitely do elevate travel videos but the winner is always the content and in that sense spending a bit of money on experiences can end up giving a better return. Hopefully you guys carve out some time for the Daintree Rainforest and particularly Mossman Gorge. There's also a Spanish castle called Paronella Park, which is about 6 hrs north of Airlie Beach. It's been overtaken by nature and is quite magical. Disappointed on your behalf that you missed Fraser Island but it sounds like round 2 of hitting Australia could consist of visiting the islands (Fraser Island, Kangaroo Island, Tasmania) and more national parks so it works :)

Free breky's rule Tia, agreed!

Be carful for the remote toilets ! Was near bitten by snake what was hiding inside toilets 😮

Not just Europeans but also southeast Asian seafarers left a random wild dog here 7,500 years ago 🐾.

Can I suggest doing a day trip to K’Gare on a ferry from Hervey Bay. You’ll see the highlights of K’Gare (Fraser Island) and can then enjoy it at a reasonable cost. Never mind, as I made this comment, I saw you’re heading to 1770/ Agnes waters. So, Juno on a day trip to Lady Musgrave island. The huntsman spiders are almost all over australia, they can be massive but are genuinely harmless.

[@bronwynmarsh4124]

I got really excited when I saw this. I love TCB (Tin Can Bay). You’d have driven within 3kms of our place to get there. I bet you don’t even remember the locality. 😂😂👍 Goomboorian. 💕💕😍 This area is Godzone! XB

[@blackletter2591]

The huntsmen are everywhere, one for every environmental niche. They are friendly spoods and won't hurt you. You already left the most dangerous spiders behind in Sydney. Actually, let me amend that, there is a cousin of theirs in Toowoomba.

[@Dan1C]

Those Hadronyche cousins to the Atrax are extensive across eastern Australia.. The Huntsmans are not really any threat*. But as you travel north look for the Barking Spider, a large tarantula. Also not considered dangerous *. *Although many spiders are not considered high risk, any bites should be treated carefully just in case of a rarer reaction or anaphylaxis.

[@benrn7029]

Huntsmans are everywhere. Blueberry would be home to at least three.

i grew up in Sarina, my family is still there, i am now in Melbourne.

[@zwastiunburzy3688]

Won't be long and those dolphins are gunna be gone. All that'll be left is a note saying "So long, and thanks for all the fish".😂 (With apologies to Douglas Adams, RIP)

[@tonyfindlay1225]

Keep up the good work, If you have not already done so, get drone insurance from DJI, regards Tony

[@michaelmayo9048]

I noticed the bad driver had one of those big ass American Ford trucks towing the trailer..he was probably texting.. they got cameras for that now but not way out past the burnt stump.

[@nelliesmith5699]

Lived here my whole life and never knew it was called Fraser Park🤣 And sorry, there’s a lot of us that drive in the middle of the road up here on the highway.

[@motoshan]

That sign is actually incorrect as they're called BRUSH turkeys not BUSH turkeys and they're a protected species in QLD and to a lesser extent in NSW. The more you know 😊
