THE AUSSIE ROADTRIP IS OFF TO A GOOD START (Margaret River)

[@tom-mv7vn]

Guys you have to get chicken salt on your chips not plan salt... and you need a burger with the lot on it so you see what a good hot mess pineapple and beetroot makes a burger. You need to try a cheese and bacon pie and a curry pie from a bakery

[@Jeni10]

YES!

[@derekgleeson1353]

True!... if you can eat a burger without needing a bath afterwards, you probably haven't enjoyed it enough!!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Gonna investigate the chicken salt 🤔

[@Jeni10]

@@OnePackWanderers Take some home with you! There are several brands in the supermarkets, not sure which one is the nicest.

[@Danger_Mouse3619]

@@OnePackWanderers chicken salt is the best. I haven't known anyone yet who doesn't like it.

[@AuntyJack123]

Cheveyo doing the Aussie accent about the cave was so awesomely hilarious!

[@iggyblitz8739]

Yeah but it actually wasn't that bad, reasonably good actually;)

[@stevehercules7372]

So good to see a young couple enjoying and exploring Oz. You'll have to make a few more trips back here to see what this country really offers. Love Tia's infectious smile. Keep doing what you're doing and loving life. Safe travels 😊😊

[@MissKatheryn]

Love watching you two explore our beautiful island. Fun fact: if you visit a different beach every day here, it would take you over 30 years to see them all.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Wow! I believe it; there's a beach on every corner!

[@jasontempest4233]

6:11 I don't think I've ever heard an American do an Aussie accent so perfectly. You nailed it!!!

[@statters]

Yeah, and the $2 coin is smaller than the $1 coin. The iconic Aussie hat is the Akubra. I've had one for decades and it's still going strong.

[@peterhoz]

5:27 Cents get bigger with value, and dollars get smaller. The dollars ($1 & $2) are gold rather than silver to help distinguish when mixed together. The size changes (including notes which are different sizes and colours) help the visually impaired.

[@gastev]

Hey Cheveyo, your Aussie accent is getting better! Keep it up 😎

[@MP-fj6wl]

You guys are a joy to watch! It feels like we're enjoying it along with you. Thank you both!!

[@donaldcroom1483]

pure joy, nothing better than that. cave wanderings, fossil discovery, observation “they’re gone now.” tia: you don’t say! ROFL

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

We are incredibly impressed by Cheveyo's Aussie accent! How long has he been practicing it?! 😂 😂 That beach looked amazing!

[@damnwoman006]

You need to go to sugar loaf rock, coffee at white elephant cafe and see the sting rays at Hamelin Bay. If you are heading down to south coast elephant rocks and greens pool are a must. Plus beaches around Albany and Esperance. Btw love following your journey.

[@billbarr3960]

If you are still in the MR area I would suggest you pay Hamelin Bay a visit. If you get there around lunch you will see sting rays come to shore for a feed. You can walk into calf deep water and touch them. Also, as you go around the coast I would recommend that you visit Walpole. The Valley of the Giants is a must, and you hire a canoe and paddle up the Frankland River. The banks of the river are lined with massive tingle trees. I would also give Albany a look. It's a cute town with an amazing coast. The walk around the windmills is fee (great coast line) and the gap and natural bridge is well worth a look.

[@josieliftsthings]

Hey guys, Australia is my country! If you need any suggestions for the East Coast I’m from Sydney so feel free to ask if you have any questions or want any suggestions! Hope you’re loving Australia 😁🎉

[@OnePackWanderers]

Woo! Thanks for the offer, Josie! Will definitely take you up on it when we get closer to Sydney 😊

[@bizanks27]

Whichever one of you picks the music, you nailed on this video.

[@DrRedLemon]

Love that you guys are enjoying SW WA and appreciate the Karri forest, coastlines and nature in general. Most West Aussies will have a special place in their heart for those forests. Its really cool hearing your thoughts as Canadians! You guys are awesome. P.S. watch out for snakes in the coastal scrub with sandles on. Dugites and tiger snakes mostly. Also make sure to check out the whales across the Nullabor and have some oysters in Ceduna on the other side.

[@sneddy77]

There are a bunch of great caves there, but I think you chose the best one :) Not sure if anyone has warned you, but be careful if you are driving near sunset in that area - kangaroos tend to be active and jump across roads

[@Notric]

Yes I have replaced a couple of front left panels on my car. It can be expensive.

[@jurrassitol15]

Agree with the chicken salt…you need that on your chips! Definitely agree with the no shoes on sand here…too for walking that I learnt from watching way too many surf lifesaving events on TV…go toe first into the sand and try walking on someone else’s footprints cos they’ve compacting the sand down already 😊 One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve been to is Hyams beach on the south coast of NSW…white sand and blue water…as they say in the adverts sand so clean it squeaks 😊

[@H.Witcher]

Lucky you found your wheel cover, and I reckon someone stopped and placed it up :)

[@rubeedobee5399]

Loved how you said this would be the last beach you show for a couple of episodes. The beaches are amazing so you might not be able to help yourself from showing more. Have fun on the road trip! Looks like you are having an awesome time.

[@Potomacstud]

Australia are the coasts and the beaches ,mate , most of the big cities are located around the coasts , while the northern territory are the outbacks , Alice Springs , i am so glad to see dynamic duo blessed with lovely warm aussie weather

[@jbarrons]

Hamelin Bay rays, a must see

[@matthewcullen1298]

Glad you guys are wearing the sunscreen. I'm a middle aged carpenter who is a born and bred Queenslander. About twice a year I go to my doctors and get a few skin spots either burnt out with frozen nitrogen ,or cut out with a scalpel. Occasionally he has to cut out more skin. It's never really fun but at least it doesn't cost anything apart from any medication needed. The sun over here is a bit hectic with high cases of people needing similar treatments. Also dehydration is something to be careful of. But you guys already take sensible precautions. Straw hats give heaps of protection and breath which makes them pretty comfortable in the heat but not that great in the cold. The ones from Bunnings are ok and cheap enough until your rottweiler puppy finds it🤣 Really great to see you guys enjoying Australia. You'd fit in well in Australia. Happy,laid back, Eazy going couple.😀 really hope you guys enjoy Australia. Most of us like it.😀

[@mornaslocum8376]

Glad your enjoying our beautiful weather ☀️ hope you get to see the Valley of the Giants and our tallest tree, bet you will love the climb to the top 🔝 Walpole has a tree top walk you may love too… keep on keeping on and enjoy 😊🦘🇦🇺

[@phildy6572]

Found you guys and subscribed on YT a few days ago. Makes me smile - so if that's your aim, mission accomplished!

[@simonfarrow1585]

Lovely video thanks. As a point of etiquette (etiquette in Oz?) you can't eat chips without sauce (ketchup). But they charge heaps for a little sachet so get a bottle from the supermarket. While you're in there, an inexpensive feed is a roast chook. But a roast chook from a proper charcoal chicken place is much tastier but a bit more $. Avoid spud salad here at all costs, it can't hold a candle to US potato salad.

[@Thelordsrain]

I love Margs (I’m in Perth) Pemberton is nice too and Walpole and Denmark, luckily it’s not too cold with it being autumn it gets pretty cold down there. Enjoy your travels

A suggestion for DIY coffee on the road, a lot of caravan parks will have a camp kitchen with a kettle (or make friends with a fellow camper with a camp stove), and a French press is pretty cheap (really really cheap at op shops) and supermarkets have good ground coffee. I buy whatever is on special ('cause I'm a cheapskate) - Vittoria is reliably good. For instant coffee Moccona is good too.

[@mickhughes6327]

Hi guys. Let me know if you're coming through Nannup, and I'll put you onto a couple of good spots to visit.

[@janmeyer3129]

The red sand bits tend to be old river courses with the red from eroded rock

[@adriang6259]

Yep, I loved Mammoth cave. Um, UK, I think. Have a sip of water, Tia.

[@Gr300w]

I think that waterfall is an example of a tufa waterfall; one which deposits limestone as it falls. The waterfall continuously grows outward as more limestone is deposited. Perhaps a geologist can confirm or deny this.

[@0swanky059]

The red in the sand comes from Iron oxide when the sediment is weathered, the white in the sand comes from the quartz and calcium from weathered cap rock and shells, often occurring in one location when dune systems are actively moving due to natural erosion from wind. In Pemberton, in your next video, the Karri Forests and the sand dunes meet along the coast and the sand dunes are actively (but ever so slowly) encroaching upon the forest to slowly bury the trees/ecosystem.

[@chriskelly3481]

"The chocolate waddle!" 😂👍 Cheers guys. That was lovely.

[@themadoublethendogg6233]

I'm from Perth and I gotta say you guys are ticking all the right boxes with all the places you a choosing to go too. I have stayed at Flinders Bay holiday Park many times. It's my favourite place.

and, I have to ask you. How many deadly snakes, spiders and the like did you see on that walk to the falls. The hubcap. definitely someone saw it and placed it there. You often see them propped against a post in the city even. Keep enjoying the trip guys.... I've been across the Nullabor (from Cairns) 8 times. The first time there was 320 miles of gravel road. Now it's a breeze with all that bitumen. I only spent 6 days going from Norseman to Ceduna. Free camping all the way, though, I have to admit, I did have my trust little VW Caddy Campervan to travel in....

If you make it to Albany I suggest you visit Mount Clarence, Desert Mounted Corps memorial and the Princess Royal Fortress. Both are free to enter and very interesting places with spectacular views over Albany and the ocean.

[@aussiefarmer6012]

The silver looking coins are in order of value and size. Bigger is worth more. The gold coins were added later and don't follow that rule.

[@stretch8399]

Not sure if you guys are still in the area, but you should most definitely check out the Glouster Tree near Pemberton, it's epic! You can climb the tree and it only has these massive nails as steps hammered in the side of it. It's scary as hell, but the view from the top is breathtaking. Also the drive through that area is filled with copper eucalyptus trees, they're magnificent 👍

[@daveamies5031]

Before you get too far from civilisation find a store and get a packet of zip ties to help those wheel covers stay on, or be a cheap skate, take them off and put them in the boot till you sell the car. Don't worry Australia has plenty more beaches for you to enjoy, BTW there are not so nice beaches in Australia, but they're pretty hard to find and there are more than enough good ones to make up for them. Seem's like you're already enjoying Oz, will be interesting to see how you feel about the country by the time you get to Brisbane, my advice, don't sell yourself short by stopping the road trip at Brisbane, there's lots more to see going north in QLD. If it's a run out of visa issue, go to NZ for a month and come back to continue your road trip, you won't regret it.

[@BomberFletch31]

Fish and chips was originally British, by the way, but there are subtle differences, not the least of which is the type of fish, and the type of potatoes used in a typical Australian fish and chips. Then the sides offered are different. I've also been informed that traditionally, British fish and chips is cooked in beef dripping (beef fat), whereas that is quite rare here in Australia.

[@reeces3707]

Great you guys , Mammoth Cave is a great place to see , some of the caves are very pricey to visit though .

A Nickel (5c) is bigger than a Dime (10c) here in the USA. In Oz the 1 and 2 dollar coin are like the nickel and dime in their sizes. The rest of the Aussie coins are proportionate to their worth 50c being bigger then the 20c and so on.

[@gingerdrake9158]

I think the reason the $1 abd $2 coin are smaller than the 50c is the 50c was already in circulation when the $1 and $2 coin were produced and they really couldn't make them bigger, they'd be huge. They also took over the 1c and 2c coin sizes which were of similar size. I do like that they are gold and easily recognizable
