Thanks guys for another great video. Not sure I could cope with that heat either. Take care!

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

It truly was terrible, kudos to the aussies that live there 👏 Thanks for watching 👀 😀

[@4x4vanintow48]

Thanks for another great ep! Its amazing to think of those guys in pioneer days doing their pioneering in 43, 46 degrees many of them straight from Mother England and surrounding lands. Next series Tasmania in December - January might be the go lol

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

I know right, at least we can go back into air con. Gives you a greater appreciation of our pioneers. Thank you for watching 👀 🙏

[@Mrbullet1952]

Say "Roebun" fast haha and Sampson was where they shipped out the bags of asbestos in the old days.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Wow that's interesting. Thanks for watching and telling that info

[@pata8167]

Great blog, guys Ask the Aboriginal people who painted the paintings known as the Bradshaw these paintings were believed to have been painted before Aboriginal people settled here not many people well talk about them

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

I will have to look that up, thanks for that info 👍

[@JoanWayne827]

Great video guys! Lobster Prawns.🦞🦐

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Thank you 🤗 but still seafood blarghhhh haha 😄

[@LotsMore2C]

Thanks for the video. As Sandgropers from the Pilbara currently touring NSW, we felt very reminiscent - even for the heat and flies. The Coss in Cossack rhymes with 'moss' (short vowel, not long vowel sound). If you want prawns, the fish place in Exmouth LIA is better. Stay safe.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Glad you enjoyed it! We have already been through Exmouth (video in a few weeks) . Went through in December so most places were closes. Next time ... Thanks for watching 👀

[@Travelbug68]

🏆 You’s deserve this!! There’s no way I could function in 46 degree 🥵 Thank you for another awesome video 💕

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Believe us when we say DON'T DO IT hahahaa.. Nah it was an experience but we wont travel at that time of year again. Thanks for watching

[@geoffwilson7774]

Great spot with a bit of history, pitty about the heat. So your going to try 🦞 Tracey 😃 great video guys 🤙🏽

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Oh gawd lol

[@HilltopFarmHomestead]

Love seafood. Prawns, lobster, craps, scallops.......Yum. My favorite though are Morton Bay Bugs. They are to die for.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

To be completely honest I dont think Jon or I have tried a variety but there is no way I will do oysters, omg just the thought grosses me out lol. Thanks for watching

[@HilltopFarmHomestead]

@@onlyleavingfootprints Oh yeah! Oysters..........It's like trying to swallow a huge fishy ball of snot! lol. Sorry but it is!

[@mypointofview444]

Drink water Jon to hydrate yourself, sugary drinks like Coke dehydrate you more 👍 😁

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Haha we were seriously watered out, we had drunk soooo much water over those few days. Thanks for watching 👀

[@TheOldFellasTravels]

I don't get why you travel the Pilbara in the wet season. I worked up there in late 70s and it gets HOT. Interesting to see how different some of those locations are now. Cheers , safe Travels.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

The reason we travelled that way was we were trying to reach our daughter and this was the quickest way to go. Thanks for watching

[@TheOldFellasTravels]

Oh yea. Fair enough 👌

[@johnhollister361]

Thank for going up there for me too boody hot, now turn around and go to Steaky Bay SA the best prawns and oysters and no flies, not now too cold, when you come back from Sushi Land 😊😊😊

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

[@davidmilledge221]
