Travelling Australia in the Summertime - Daly Waters and Gorrie Airstrip - WW2 history

#worldwar2 #texaslonghorns #caravan
Join us on an extraordinary adventure as we spend a night at the iconic Daly Waters Pub camping ground. Tracie's excitement is contagious as we set up camp next to a paddock featuring majestic Texas Longhorns, adding a unique twist to our outback experience.
In this episode, our journey takes an intriguing turn as we explore an abandoned World War II hangar, unveiling the untold stories of the past and immersing ourselves in the historical echoes that linger within its walls.
The adventure continues as we camp the next night at Gorrie Airstrip, a once-bustling location during WWII, now peacefully abandoned and surrounded by the untouched beauty of isolation. This is a camping experience like no other, and we're thrilled to share our first-ever night in such a remote and historic setting.
Come along as we soak in the serenity, encounter local wildlife, and relish the joys of camping in these extraordinary outback locations. Hit that subscribe button to join us on this unforgettable journey! 🌌⛺️ #DalyWatersPub #TexasLonghorns #WWIIHistory #RemoteCamping #OutbackAdventure

Hey everyone, please note we are aware that the audio and video quality isnt the greatest on this episode. I tried really hard to get it just right. As for the mics, at this stage we were still experimenting and learning about how to use them for the best outcome and yes we failed here. We are behind in our videos but do get better. Thanks for watching

[@cherieleeishere]

Yay always a great day when your favourite KZbinrs upload 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Cheers 🎉

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

You're the best! Thanks so much we appreciate your beautiful comment

[@OzTravelLog]

Daly Waters great place, Jon that shirt 👕 brilliant, wish I had bought one. Audio was good, dont worry so much all the stuff that goes on good or bad is just part of a great experance. We just love honest videos. Keep them comming.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Thanks 👍its terrible that I start to panic that I will cop flack from viewers if my audio and footage will not be up to standard. Thanks for the encouragement

[@Liteprinter]

Always look forward to your videos!! Drone footage adding another dimension! Great stuff Tracie and Jon.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

More to come! Thanks so much for following. The wind has planned a huge part in not alot of droning happening though

[@marieahopkins1278]

Another great upload. Brought back lots of memories of Daly Waters and surrounds. Thanks, and safe travels

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for following our journey

[@virginiakoffke6577]

Wow, great footage. Oh the bloody flies, yep remember them.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

We are oblivious to the flies on the East Coast I reckon lol. Thanks for watching

[@brittanysage4023]

Didn’t stay at Daly waters but had a great time at the pub. Very friendly locals.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

I reckon a night in the pub would be fun but loud lol. Thanks for watching

[@colleenoliver2673]

Love watching you guys guaranteed mood liffter😊

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Hahahaha Thank you so much

[@suziklucso1954]

Another great episode guys. The drone shots Jon is going well, I’m still yet to learn mine too. Sorry Tracie but it was funny Jon driving off on you, just a little bit of fun. It made us laugh Jon. 😂

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Glad you enjoyed it. We appreciate the support

[@milnerontheroad57]

Jon I feel your pain brother, you guys crack us up. Safe travels.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Thanks mate lol. Appreciate you following our journey

[@PaulNisatouring]

Had a good laugh when John started to drive off 😂 my wife gets that as well

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Grrr what is it with men doing that lol.. But secretly it makes me laugh. Thanks for watching

[@BeHereNow-fz6kc]

Thank god for fly nets. With the drone footage edit out all the sharp / quick turning, smooth and gentle turning is better for viewing .Good video 😍

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Yes, I understand about the sharp turns, that's why I had to explain how Jon is practising. We keep it real and although it is a little hard to edit I thought that it shows people that controlling a drone takes practice (if that makes sense). I think he is starting to get better but I will try to edit more for you viewers. Thanks for the comment.

[@lyndoncarter1528]

Another great video guys keep them coming

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

We will! Thanks for your support

[@chrisellis4137]

Hello Jon and Tracie. Don't you just love Daly Waters Pub? It is a great place to stop at, and another good place to stop is at Adelaide River with Charlie the Buffalo on the bar. Till next week safe travels.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Thanks for the tip! We did miss out on stopping at Adelaide River (well we went to the cemetery). Next time. Thanks Chris

[@chrisellis4137]

It is the buffalo out crocodile Dundee.

[@peterstaggs1956]

Well done 🧑‍✈️Jon. Million💲insurance policy made me laugh. It is always funny driving off as passenger walks up. Cheers from Adelaide

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Hhahaha dont encourage him lol. Thanks for watching

[@aussiegolddogcnc3d412]

Well done guys. I’m new to drones as well. They are heaps of fun and you get grate footage. I can’t wait for us to get out there. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Have fun! We have had the hiccup of soooo much wind where we have been traveling so we still havent been able to do alot of droning grrr. Thanks for watching

[@deniseday4613]

Great Vid, we were out that way a few years ago , missed that airstrip (bugger), but there is one further up we stayed at that was fantastic, it was called "Fenton", a bit out of the way, but some interesting history, all the best to you both, cheers Les & Denise

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Thank you both for watching and commenting. There is so much to explore out there isn't there.

[@dianarunge2364]

You two always make me laugh. I’ve had that drive off thing done to me 😂 good to see that runway. Probably use it for flying doctors. Daly waters is very interesting. You timed your trip well. Most places flooded now and more to come.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

It has been a good trip going in the opposite direction however we are very much over the extreme heat and the WA winds. So glad we missed the floods but feel for the people experiencing it now. Thanks again for watching

[@kevinn2772]

on the map there on the in trailer still have a long way to go all around australia. but just taking the time to see more around. its so interesting the tour.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Yep I dont think the whole of Australia can be done in a year, you could do the lap and only see a small portion on whats out there. Thanks for watching

[@OurWanderingWays]

Another great episode. Can’t wait to do all those places if we can. Good job on the drone John, Noel is still learning too, he has had his Drone for a while now, it’s the Mavic Pro. It’s quite big to what’s out now. Practice makes perfect. Just remember slowly on the turns. I don’t touch it at all. Prefer my camera 📷.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Hhaahaaha I think he controls the drones like his ADHD brain, fast fast oh look whats over there lol. I have to remind him to go slow. He is getting better but the wind is playing havoc with being able to use it. Thanks for watching, good luck Noel

[@OurWanderingWays]

@@onlyleavingfootprints on our last big trip we sent the drone home, trouble in finding places you were allowed to fly it, not to mention that wind 💨. It’s coming with us this trip, hope to use it more. Love the perspective you get that you can’t with the camera. Happy travels where ever you are. 😀😃

[@trishclay1636]

My hubby: cause it's funny John: cause it's funny My hubby: that's right john😂

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Secretly I have to laugh with him about it lol. Thanks for watching, but seriously.... men lol

[@jennifermanners4014]

😂 you two are brilliant

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Thank you so much

[@BushSandMud]

Great attempts at flying that drone John!! I can't do it 😅 funny you guys mentioned Million Dollar bogan, Danny is actually a mate of mine!!

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Oh wow! We love Danny and like everyone else we were so disappointed that he has finished up his travels. We admire him for everything he does for men's mental health. Jon suffers from anxiety and bad depression and Danny's vlogs were a reminder to him to wake up to another day. Thank you for watching and following us

[@BushSandMud]

@onlyleavingfootprints that is so wonderful that his videos made a difference to John!! Love following your adventures and you guys always manage to make me giggle with one of your comments to each other. Safe travels 🥰

[@sharencameron5758]
