Both your parents must be very proud of you two. You are fantastic parents and amazing role models for any young couple aspiring to be the best that they can be. I am about your parents age and see the values of my youth in you two. It's a honour to have your family in our country and we are the better for it. Love to all of you from a silly old bugger with a tear in his eye. Love from NSW 🐨

[@matallens3006]

[@Andy_73]

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

She really did lol. Thank you!

[@robjan02]

My wife and I LOVE your You Tube videos !!! I will make you smile and tell you my wife's maiden name IS Wickman ..YES...Another Wickman ! She is one of seven children from Boonah (near Brisbane) ... What a co-incidence !!! Your videos are well produced and show the natural, easy way of life of Australians and Life in Australia which of course includes the beautiful scenery.....WELL DONE to you and CONGRATULATIONS on your excellent coverage which is amazing and true to life ....

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thats really cool! Maybe some how we are related! Either wat thank you for the comment an support!

[@Ragnar6000]

You guys are great and the little bit of history of the Area at the end is a nice touch : )

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you!

[@ironsword7]

2:05 In my opinion, those coolers are really only good for drier climates where the humidity is low. Being sub-tropical to tropical, they don't really work that well in QLD, which is why you never see houses with evaporative coolers there. Evaporative coolers just add moisture to already humid air.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yes we do know that, the product does need less than 70% to work.

[@RichardBroad-rb8dn]

I have so many memories of the Mooloolaba and Kawana area. Point Cartwright has a right hander over reef that works on S-SE conditions. Near the rock where you were playing, the Kawana side of the point, we surfed the beachbreaks on N-NE days (always offshore somewhere). Best from Feb-May IMO. Keep having fun, I'm stoked you're all enjoying this beautiful part of the planet. ,

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

I saw that set up and thought i bet this spot gets really good!

[@STEVECOLLINS-gn8xp]

I hope you come back one day and stay best country in the world xx

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

We hope we can as well!

[@Realitycheck-w5c]

Glad you made it to Point Cartwright. I've rented different apartments in the towers right on the point many times for my family, and loved walking the rock ledges and swimming the calm waters of the river on the other side with my kids. Can't wait to see your next adventure back on the Gold Coast.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thats really cool! It is a really cool place!

[@marcusgraham9478]

Very good video and I have to hand it to the children, no shoes on, tough kids 😂😂😂

[@Sandgroper_54]

Sunshine Coast is beautiful. I'm from the west coast, but I always like it when we go to the Sunny.

[@ChristopherJewels]

I like the Sunny Coast too. Pinky Beach on Rottnest Island was fabulous.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

It really is!

[@steves524]

Don’t miss the glass house mountains, great drive.🎉

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Okay!

[@karencornish1060]

Been waiting patiently for your next video lol 🇦🇺😍

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Lol its here! Thank you!

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

Got a sponsor now. Free goodies. Well done on the channel doing a great job. Been following since you were 1st here in Australia 😎

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! And Thank you for the support it means alot!

[@lynnmoses3563]

Me too

[@leechgully]

Watch out for blue ringed octopus on those rocks too. Pretty sure I've seen them in pools around Pt Cartwright.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Dang okay we will! Thank you!

[@Coooeee]

They are small, get in larger shells than you were picking up and cans. They like little rock pools and reefs. They are all around Australia. Very deadly. Look it up. ​@@TheWickmansLife2024

[@charlesemerson6763]

You folks are certainly getting around. No doubt you will have noticed the storms about so take care on the roads.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Definitely getting around lol. We are watching!

[@julesmarwell8023]

sssssh Aust has fallen in love with you all.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

The feelings are mutual!

[@achebwahs1111]

CAUTION: The shell you picked up at the 3.20 min mark looks like a cone shell. Cone shells have harpoon-like teeth that inject venom into their prey. A sting can cause intense pain, numbness, tingling, nausea, weakness, and difficulty moving, seeing, hearing, and speaking. Severe cases can result in death. They ca.n be difficult to tell if the creature is still inhabiting the shell so best left alone to be safe. Love your videos by the way

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Dang we didnt think it was! Thats scary. Thank you for the support and comment!

[@MarkRoberts-f1z]

Just to clarify. Cone shells don't exactly just crawl up on to the beach and sting people. They cant life out of water...the last recorded death in Australia was 1935...they are found in every ocean in the world so definitely not unique to Australia. CAUTION seems a bit excessive... Hey guys CAUTION watch out for cassowaries in the Daintree...😅😅😅😅. Settle down they know what they are doing.

[@achebwahs1111]

@@TheWickmansLife2024 No worries. There's quite a few different types here and it looked similar to one of the species. It might not have been but always best to be a little cautious given their potent toxicity. I grew up on Victoria's south west coast (state of icy breaks) and as kids it was one of the earliest lessons we were taught.

[@ridingjupiter1244]

I live like2k away from that water tank light house lookout at Kawana. It is amazing here to live, I'm very lucky. It's great to see you back again.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Its a special spot! Lucky you for getting to live here!

[@Blissbomb2]

That mal wave is called "The Bluff" , they have a mal club there once a month.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

I would love to check it out!

[@6226superhurricane]

3:24 looks like a cone shell, you might want to research cone shells.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

We didn't think it was we will look again!

[@6226superhurricane]

@TheWickmansLife2024 may not have been, not something you want to risk though without being sure.

[@brentjohns8202]

So many times I saw mooloolaba lighthouse coming back from a 28 day longliner trip

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Is that on a boat?

[@marionthompson3365]

Always be careful in rock pools and similar. The sunshine coast has a different vibe to the gold coast. Beautiful part of the world.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

We will! It really is an awesome spot!

[@robertschulz7454]

Your family. journey, vids are top shelf. Interesting to travel with you on an amazing journey through your life and bring joy to me watching. Shane, need to see you on some big waves

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you for the support and glad you like the videos! I definitely need some big waves!

[@smokotom]

I always look forward to your videos. I hope you're going to visit Yamba and Angourie (great surf beach) over the border in New South Wales. In fact, every mile of the eastern coastline is beautiful.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Glad you enjoy them! We are making our way that direction!

[@step1drag1dwnunda]

That was good that you saw the whales.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yeah that was awesone!

[@siryogiwan]

so you started saying "just down the road" when talking long distances yet lol

[@MrPeterjscott]

The best beaches are on the south coast nsw pure white sand Jarvis Bay area

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Sounds amazing!

[@simonlane7817]

Tourism Australia should put you guys on the payroll! Your doing an amazing job showcasing this country. Keep up the great work - love it! Looking foward to more & travel safe.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

If you or anyone you know, knows anyone who could help us with that we would much appreciate it! We have reached out to a few people in Tourism Australia but have not gotten any responses! We would love to come back and hit the whole West Coast and beyond 🤍

[@simonlane7817]

@TheWickmansLife2024 unfortunately I don't know anyone, However I recon your best bet is to inquire with region specific tourism authorities ... similar to the folks who showed you Agnes Water / 1770 (im led to believe They run local tourism & own the marina).

[@davidjohnpaul333]

Hopefully the kids will pick up an aussie accent 😅

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

They dont have it yet but they use the Aussie lingo sometimes.

[@irenaallen8478]

We have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world with high UV ratings. Your children need to have hats with wide brims to protect them. Baseball ball caps do not protect your ears from cancer. As a nurse it is really important to protect your ears . No fun to have your ear out out later to remove cancer. Please read the UV index every day.

[@lynnmoses3563]

Ive mentioned this many times to me...its so important....

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

We use clear zinc its the best thing you can do. Shoes, hats, sunglasses they don't work if the kids wont keep them on.

[@spdensley1]

I love your videos, but please be careful if you are going to drive with an open laptop on your lap, Australia has some insane laws when it comes to driving, and would hate for you to cop a fine or lose your licence over a simple error of judgement.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

For sure we will! Thank you for the heads up! I know Australia has strict rules! I wasnt actually using the laptop but i will be better in the future!

[@somefatbugger]

You do know we're not letting you leave ever again. Sorry to say but you're Australians now.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Love it!

[@wallywombat164]

As much as i love you, i reckon people can hear you coming from a mile off.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

2 miles away! Isnt that how marketing works! Loudest one gets the money lol i dont how the saying goes, but we are loud lol

[@aerotuc]

Excellent ,I’m so glad your starting to get some products to promote and help you along the way.Please Aussie companies better hurry because the Wickmans life is a great platform to get your product out there .Queensland tourist industry please get onboard

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! Thats really nice! We are trying to get a hold of Aussie Tourism if anyone has some connections!
