It’s a fantastic country to live in, so many Aussies have never seen this great land.

[@SpunkmeyerSnr]

Driving on the same road 20 years ago I got a double flat ! Phone service not extensive at that time. Many pulled over to help but none could help fix two flats. With the sun starting to set I started tp contemplate hitching a lift to Hermansburg and call a garage. The next car that pulled over was part of a family group traveling together. I told him the problem and he just smiled. 'Of course I can help mate, I'm a tire mechanic" He then set to with his compressor and tire plugs. He also offered me a cold beer from his travel fridge.....

[@Tiamariawouldntwanttobeya]

You know what I appreciate about your travels most. Is that you spend a decent amount of time somewhere really travelling the roads not so travelled. Unlike other KZbinrs, you guys literally live the experience. I also appreciate that your travels are more realistic for most of us.

[@kayelle8005]

Cockatoos will also squawk at ungodly hours of the morning too. Loved that night shot of the stars. Soooooooooo happy you decided to go back to Uluṟu 🥰

[@Bobbydazzlla]

Every week of the year there's many species of wattle trees flowering somewhere in Australia. That's why it was chosen as our floral emblem and our national colours of green and gold.

[@Ninchi_TrueCrime]

Temperature wise: if you were warm enough camping overnight in those freezing temperatures, you should be mostly fine in Tassie. The difference however: Tassie ground doesn’t warm up through the day, so the ground is freezing all through the winter & if you’re in a tent, you’ll feel the cold coming up from the ground- I recommend getting a mat or woollen blanket for underneath you….

[@kazz3956]

My Hubby carried our 18 month old on his shoulders around the whole King Canyon walk. OMG this land is spectacular. Truely loved it. PS the Star scape was gorgeous too.

[@Ninchi_TrueCrime]

Psych is the best!

[@ethanwd]

The majority of Australian natives flower in winter and spring, because water is often too scarce for plants to have the energy to put into flowering in the summer… late winter and early spring is usually the best time of year for wildflowers here! 😊

[@ryangibbins8196]

Haven't had a 'Big Thing' for a while. Stay on guard Chev, I reckon Tia's got some brewing.

[@murphyrp01]

How many people comment on how inappropriate those sandals are for the Australian outback. Seriously time for Merrill hiking shoe sponsorship

[@hayleyrichardson9203]

First nations people traversed the land for thousand of years without shoes so I think they'll be fine. Plus being from Arizona I would assume they're used to being careful where they walk so they don't upset a local scorpion etc

[@joellewhite912]

Lots - and that's why they keep highlighting them 😆

👍 - I’ve had a TJM Compressor for several years, never had a problem with it.

[@barbararowley6077]

I know it seems counterintuitive to non-Aussies, but many native plants flower during winter, because that’s often the best time for seedlings to sprout and get established before the worst of the heat and dryness.

[@gbsailing9436]

As you probably know by now, it did work out and AGAIN the colours never cease to amaze!!! So beautiful! It is such a phenomenon the way it can reflect all those different wavelengths!

Love the area. The Kings Canyon rim walk is incredible and I will never forget the stark color difference between Uluru and the sky. Magic. Enjoy ! 😎

[@Dexamalion]

Congrats on seeing something you didn't see before!

[@spope6852]

Glad you two did the rim walk. We remember it well, particularly the descent which was a bear after all those hours of hiking. But then again we were in our mid-fifties.

[@Nico-bx5on]

So good guys. Loved that you shared your Kings Canyon and Uluru with us. The Australian bush is a winter wonderland with its native wildflowers in bloom - all your senses are heightened but especially the nose. Love the perfume of native blossoms!! 🙂

Another gorgeous outback video. You've noticed a lovely thing. That many Australian native plants flower in winter through to spring. A lovely bonus ❤

[@krissyv2046]

Love your videos...The beauty of Uluru is breathtaking on its own but your timelapse was masterful - like a moving painting. Stargazing is also amazing in the Outback and the fact that you took the time and effort to capture our amazing Southern Sky...enduring cold winter nights..THANK YOU

Still can’t quite believe it’s been a year since your last trip. Time has flown so quickly.

[@sallyleichhardt2155]

You needed to have the song "solid rock" by Goanna pumping as you approached Ayers Rock. That would have been epic! But I guess you get copyright penalties. Loving your travels, I'm enjoying seeing Australia's beautiful outback regions. It's sad that I've lived here all my life and never visited many of these places. Thanks for taking us along for the ride 😊

[@markd1070]

You should visit Carnarvon George in QLD, if you get the chance.

[@goulash75]

I know they're not heading that way, but I couldn't agree more with your comment. Fraser Island should also go on the list.

[@nannyg666]

I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS! We were at King's Canyon in late-June, 2011 and it became one of my favorite places on earth. We wanted to drive the short cut to Alice Springs but only had a 2WD rental that explicitly said "No Dirt Roads!" in the agreement. Still, I was tempted to do it anyway. We did both the canyon walk and the rim walk. We spent one night at the resort there, which was having a mouse infestation at the time. Dead mouse smell everywhere and live mice everywhere, including in the very modest dining room. My favorite memory was trying to figure out what to do about breakfast for our family of 5 before doing the rim walk. The restaurant was way too expensive (we could only accomplish this by tracking costs, much like you do) so I went to a little shop nearby that sold a tiny selection of food items and I bought a loaf of bread and a jar of Nutella. Our family sat on the rim of the canyon feasting on all-you-can-eat Nutella sandwiches for what was probably less than $10. Incidentally, the $AUD was spiking when we were there in 2011 and for that whole trip, was actually worth slightly MORE than a $USD. Made things rough for me as the budget keeper of our group. Thank you so much for helping me relive this fond memory! And yea, we did sunset at Uluru, too. Love you guys.

[@jennifermitchelson7971]

The little white flowered bush is called the Geraldton wax, so pretty

[@DottyDotDitto]

Arkaroola in the Flinders Rangers in SA is worth a visit. The Ridge top tour (while awesome) would be out of your price range, but there are some 4w4 tracks you can do yourself in the area.

[@Wdeane1957]

Skytrek at Willow Springs Station is great, costs about $80 for an all day 4wd self drive tour.

[@quicksilver2510]

I visited Uluru in 2019. Even though I have aboriginal ancestry, it ended up being a much more spiritual experience than I expected. It went far beyond a tourist destination for me. I'm so glad they've stopped people climbing on it, even though I wouldn't have even if allowed. It's a must visit landmark for foreigners and Aussies alike.

[@pajaro685]

I've climbed the rock three times! twice in 1975 and again in 1999. The camp grounds used to be almost at the base of the rock.

[@marklane58]

I was waiting for the next BIG thing. I guess Uluru will do. But wait... no Tia for scale! Thanks, you two wonder bundles, for another dreamy ride. And double wow for your time lapse. Colours were amazing.

Wow what a coincidence. We just left Kings Canyon this morning 23rd July. Stayed 2 nights. Saw a dead camel that was run over! Enormous! Loved our time but Uluru was magical. Lots of wonderful walks right close as well as sunset views. So pleased to see you enjoying so much.

Great content guys, you have unbelievably bucked the trend of the atypical American tourist. Wishing you all the happiness in life. Safe travels.

[@threestumps7560]

I went to Kings Canyon and Uluru on a year 11 school trip. Never have been back since but I want to revisit one day. Thank you for showing us. Hope when you are back in SA you visit the Flinders Ranges; the towns of Quorn and Hawker and go for a bushwalk inside Wilpena Pound. I drove to the Flinders Ranges from Melbourne last year and loved it. Also, since you love photography (and if you love trains as well) when you are In Port Augusta you should check out Yorkeys Crossing. The only spot in Australia where you can photograph an entire length of a 1-2km long train inside one picture; this is due to the S shaped curve to the north of the road. The Ghan, the Indian Pacific and all cross country freight trains come thru Port Augusta.

[@birdwatcher5928]

Your photography and editing skills are really great, well done guys. Without that this series would be poorer. When you stop travelling this is your next job.

[@peterzweck1763]

Thanks Tia and Chevy (ozzie abbreviation) for all your videos showing parts of my own country that I haven't seen yet but would love to one day...including some I never knew about! Winter here is the time when the stars, star clusters and nebulae of Scorpius (aka Scorpio in horoscopes) and next door Sagittarius (towards the centre of our galaxy) shine directly overhead. Scorpius was beautifully framed in your timelapse! I'm lucky to live on a rural farm where you can see the full glory of the night sky...but the Outback probably is even better.

My wife and I went there a number of years ago in our Mazda 3 but we took the bitumen road from Uluru. We walked the canyon bought fuel in the small town and travelled back to the roadhouse on the Stuart highway in one day arriving at the roadhouse in the dark. Not good travelling in the dark but we got there. 400 kms between everything out there. We loved it. And we were in our fifties.

[@MattBlankenshipPhotography]

[@ipo5566pm]

Your aerial vista shots in this Australian series continue to be incredible. It really highlights the beauty of the landscape, but also the vastness and emptiness, and isolation of the area you are travelling through. Makes for the best cinematic footage you have ever delivered!! Well done.👌

[@nevillemills9517]

At Uluru when you walk around the rock you can feel the life coming from the rock, it literally lifts the hair on the back of your neck and makes you feel the centuries of culture that has past. Truly a unique and precious place. Everyone should at least once in their life visit this place you won't be disappointed. Just sit in a quite place near the rock and you will feel it's sole.

[@CraigAlden-ld9ey]

Wonderful to see Kings Canyon, just another place I missed years ago….. but you can’t see everything….absolutely amazing…. And you never ever get sick of The Big Rock…..enjoy….many more cooler nights ahead….. looking forward to what comes next.

This might sound ,wacky ,but i felt the spiritual element of Uluru. It really is a special place ,im glad you got to see kings canyon too ,its also beautiful.

I loved the Uluru sunset shots . Stocked you got a name brand air pump , not saying what pressures to run a gravel road but i find 25psi a good starter . Speed on a corrugated roads can vary too , if your speed 75/90kph you can find the "sweet spot" and you can virtually smooth out the corrugations . Great trip you guys :-)

12:13 the yellow flowers look like a type of wattle…. While you judge early or late spring with a groundhog in America, we can tell if it’s going to be an early spring, based on when the wattle starts to come out…. That said, I don’t know if that applies in the Northern Territory, but if it does, then we should start seeing some better weather soon…
