[@louisaklimentos7583]

You really have immersed yourself not just the natural beauty of Australia but also the history of Australia . Well done!!

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

I try my best! Thanks for always commenting, it means so much!

[@Final_Cut_FF]

Yeah, I love the old towns. So much of Old England there. It is what it is. So much memorabilia.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Can't beat an old town!

[@alexandraferrie1945]

Beautiful silence. The comfort of dreary darkness, reminds me of that time you thought I had disappeared into the mist.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Don’t remind me. It was a beautiful day but those three minutes looking for you will forever haunt me 🤣

[@clipstream8]

Wonderful video, didn't expect to learn about rural Australia's ancient transportation today.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Glad to be of service 👍

It IS winter here so that's why the weather is like it is ! We need all the water we can get as it looks like we may be entering an 'El Nino', a climate pattern that moves back and forth across the South Pacific Ocean between South America and Australia. In the past it has brought drought. (We are moving out of 'La Nina' , its opposite wet climate pattern which has brought floods during those years.)The backroads tend to be a bit on the rough side as they are in the huge area of the country-side. England is approximately the size of Victoria, the second smallest area size with the second biggest population. A coach route runs through Gippsland to Sale, a lake and seaport In Eastern Gippsland. In the Latrobe Valley in Mid Gippsland, there are roads called , Old Sale Road and Old Coach Road. Bendigo, Castlemaine and Ballarat form The Golden Triangle. Gold was also found in other places. The gold was washed up from deep in the earth by underground rivers. There are deep gold mines at Bendigo, and Walhalla in Gippsland. The latter town is an interesting one to visit. A guy I know, who lives near the Golden Triangle, keeps finding gold in his backyard when he does the gardening. He's cursing himself that he had a cement floor laid for his new home!

Great comment full of detail and fact, cheers!

[@anthonymcnab9784]

One of my ancestors brought Cob and Co to Australia 🇦🇺

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

That is so cool!! Do you know where it originated?

[@kazwilson425]

Love the silo art trail. There's map on the website that shows where they all are.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

I have seen a lot of them going around, they are fantastic!

[@arranatkinson8348]

Very cool history and that Silo art is unreal!!

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Thanks bro, I keep stumbling across them 😂

[@daveamies5031]

I hope you make the Cobb+Co Museum in Toowoomba (27 Lindsay Street, Toowoomba) as part of this journey, it's a fair hike from Victoria, but you'll have plenty of scenery along the way. Plus you can learn about Captain Thunderbolt on the way back

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Oh I didn't know about this, I will have to check it out!

[@daveamies5031]

@@CapitalistBuddhist You'll probably also want to checkout the Australian Standing Stones at Glen Innes, actually based on this video you'll probably enjoy Glen Innes itself too. The Glen Innes Lodge Motel, is basic affordable accommodation, when I stayed there it was clean and well maintained and the owners were really lovely people. Australia has thousands of these lovely small towns, so plenty for you to explore.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Thanks for the advice, when I get up that way I will be sure to check it out!

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

Just imagine the size of the paint brushes these artists used. 😜

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Haha I would say they were pretty big!!@

[@maxatherelaxer]

Aussie's get in cars n flog em. POM's get in cars n get excited over em ;-) Take the POM from Britian but you can't take the vehicle fetish from the POM.

448m years ago Deni was hit by an asteroid. which made a 320 mile crater. perhaps why. we are so mineral rich. Look after that Barra. its a good one. she loves the juice ha ha.,

Freeman Cobb was American. Fords were Australia's worst cars. I drove them for over 40 years before discovering Subaru outback. 😎☕️🦘🦘🦘

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Interesting. Hope that suberu outback isn't diesel! 🤣

[@Sluggo57]

@ Is there a problem with the diesel model? Asking for me. ☕️😎

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

@@Sluggo57 haha! The DPF is a really common fault, thats why you can pick them up on the used market at a relatively good dead. When i was selling cars earlier in the year we had one and I loved it though!
