Weird Aussie traditions...

[@robyntorney65]

…and my husband is a retired engineering manager and worked extensively in the Pilbara. He said to reassure you that the fuel in the Pilbara is NOT adulterated or diluted in any way. A fun fact is The Pilbara consumes over 1/2 of the diesel fuel consumed in Australia. The big mining companies, who are the biggest purchasers, test every shipment to ensure it meets all Australian standards. There are some environmental reasons why you are burning more fuel in the Pilbara: 1. You’re likely driving faster. The speed limit is 110 km/hr but you are probably pushing that to fit in with the road trains. Our 4WD burns 20% more fuel when we drive 110 vs 100 km/hr. 2. Winds. Even a side wind, if it’s strong enough, causes vehicles to put more load on their downwind side, which increases fuel consumption. It seems the Pilbara winds usually manage to be headwinds. 3. The relentless Pilbara sunlight (and this is a weird one). The heat and sunlight cause the road tar (referred to as bitumen here in Oz) to evaporate out of the road, leaving the gravel behind. You’ve probably noticed the road noise is louder in the Pilbara, and evaporated bitumen is the cause. Our roads there get resurfaced on an evaporation schedule, not when the total surface starts falling apart. Driving on a surface that’s mostly gravel with little bitumen not only increases fuel consumption, but it also accelerates tyre wear. If you increase tyre pressure to the maximum, rolling resistance and fuel consumption decrease, (but you need to deflate the tyres when on pure gravel roads or sand).

[@ZootZinBootZ]

I don't drive and you just educated me on so much .. thanks

[@Brightangel55]

Great advice

[@beardymcbeardface69]

"Our 4WD burns 20% more fuel when we drive 110 vs 100 km/hr." This seems to be in line with the need to quadruple power in order to double your speed. So a 10% increase in speed, would require a 20% increase in energy and thus fuel usage.

[@chrisgregory4796]

Yes and what might they dilute the diesel with? Water? That aint gunna fly. Other hydrocarbon brews probalbly equal or more expensive than diesel anyway. Ive heard of some jet fuels being more dense thans others, hence more energy. But havent heard that with diesel.

[@muralk3153]

I thought gravel reduced wear on the tires and doesn’t increase fuel consumption became its surface is softer and doesn’t add to the surface friction unlike bitumen. I grew up and even worked a few years in plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia where the roads were entirely gravel. We definitely had less wear on our vehicle tires. I assumed that because gravel surfaces don’t grip too well they exert less friction on tires.

A Tim Tam slam is done with a hot drink, that way the inside of the bicky melts. My personal preference is hot chocolate/Milo or coffee.

[@Angelicwings1]

Yep agreed

[@PaulRodden-e4d]

True...but you gotta be quick witha hot drink otherwise your Tim Tam collpases into your drink.

[@kathleenharrison9147]

Born & bred Aussie here. I love your version of a timtam slam but it’s best with a warm/hot drink, easier if your cup is full, only bite off a small amount on the two opposing corners then suck up big & enjoy. Your attempt had me in stitches, now you’ll have to practice to get it right. Keep up the good work 😂

[@LikkieAU]

Tim tam slam works best with a hot drink because it melts the cream layer between the biscuits… but you have to slam it quick because it will start to disintegrate. Also peanut butter and honey….. (and banana)

[@Reneesillycar74]

Peanut butter & honey is delicious, with banana is next level 🙌🏼😄

[@ICrazyGreggy]

I guess I'm the rebel of the bunch as I love Peanut Butter and Vegemite. I knew a guy who ate Peanut Butter and Onion. He explained when I inquired why that he had just returned from living in Indonesia and that combo reminded him of Sate sauce.

No diluted fuel - just the wind and road surface are affecting your fuel consumption.

Great choice going to Marble Bar. You’re in good company with other Americans visiting Marble Bar. About a year ago, my husband (ex-American from Colorado) was involved in flying a group of NASA space scientists to the area and their tour of Marble Bar. He (husband) grew up in a family involved in the Apollo moon landing, so he grew up learning NASA-speak. It turns out the Interplanetary Exploration Team from NASA is specifically interested in the area around Marble Bar, as they consider it to be very similar to the terrain on Mars. NASA is setting up practice exploration activities to learn how best to learn how to look for live on Mars, and where else to practice than around Marble Bar? The NASA effort also uses the school kids as support team (eg, recover lost drones, help the NASA guys successfully walk around this very remote area) which makes the kids totally comfortable with new technology. It’s a great example of how indigenous kids in a remote town can overcome the tyranny of distance and learn things like interplanetary physics and sophisticated data transfer techniques from PhD experts in those fields, whilst living their home environnment. My husband is pretty sure the kids that purloined your cameras are happily involved in the NASA program, so he suspects they know a lot more about cameras, data transfer, and high tech in general than you realise. Like I said, good choice on diverting to Marble Bar.

[@krh007]

Another fun fact that iam pretty sure Cheveyo & Tia did not realise when they were at the Cape in Exmouth and spotted the cluster of tall radio towers - Naval Communication Station "Harold E. Holt" is a joint Australian and United States naval communication station located on the north-west coast of Australia, 6 kms (4 miles) north of the town of Exmouth. The station is operated and maintained by the Australian Department of Defence on behalf of Australia & US which provides very low frequency (VLF) radio transmission to the US Navy, Royal Australian Navy and allied ships and submarines in the western Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean. The frequency is 19.8 kHz. With a transmission power of 1 megawatt, it is claimed to be the most powerful transmission station in the Southern Hemisphere The town of Exmouth was built at the same time as the communications station to provide support to the base and to house dependent families of US Navy personnel at the time The station was commissioned as U.S. Naval Communication Station North West Cape on 16 Sept1967 at a ceremony with the US Ambassador to Australia Edward A. Clark and the Prime Minister of Australia Harold Holt, at which peppercorn rent for the base On 20 Sept 1968, the station was officially renamed to US Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt in memory of the late Prime Minister of Australia, who disappeared whilst swimming and was declared dead, presumed drowned, three months after the station was commissioned.

I work at a diesel fuel importing terminal. There is strong QA at the import point. If it comes in with excess water, it is drained out before distribution. Diluted diesel is not a thing in Australia. Never encountered it. The likelihood of encountering it would be about the same as in the US. The cause of your worse than average fuel economy would more likely be attributed to the strong winds you spoke of.

[@continental_drift]

Perhaps by "diluted diesel" they meant Bio-Diesel"? As a driver of diesel vehicles I have never encountered diesel diluted with water, in fact it would be poison to a diesel engine.

It was still good enough to convince a Canadian who was sure I was from the mid west. He seemed surprised when I said I was from Australia! The DVD'S I played to my students in class in South Korea had a mid west accent though. Probably where I picked up the accent playing dvds 465 hours a year for several years before moving to China then Turkey.

I dont know about diluted fuel but headwinds will increase your fuel consumption by those sort of amounts. Just got back from a trip through central Australia towing a 3.1T van fuel consumption was normally around 16ltrs/100kms but some days driving into a headwind it went over 20. The same with a tailwind it dropped to 14.

10:30 We used to have peanut butter and honey sandwiches when we were younger but tbf seedless jam (sweet) and peanut butter (savoury) probably go together just as well.

[@JeremyParker072]

You guys are killing it with the drone shots!

[@vegometer]

So good to see the parts of Australia we’ve not yet got to. And dark Tim Tams is a good choice. Port or Baileys works for the slam too!

[@FC-BS]

10:47 as an Australia I have to agree with you. I saw this in a video once and decided to try it out. Best decision of my life

[@monutella]

I was so emotional at the end during those sunset shots. Time stood still for you both, it felt like you had the entire world to yourself. Australia is the country that keeps on giving, so much beauty to discover - especially in the most unassuming places! Love watching your videos and following along your journey ❤️

Oh wow guys, I really love that you not only interacted with those First Nation kids, but that you also chose to show the interaction in your video. It's so culturally important that our First Nation people are not only acknowledged, but also that they are not all exoticised as all living on tribal lands (even though showing that is super important too). So a big thanks to both of you for really allowing Australia to present itself to you instead of forcing your own ideas on what Australia should be. 💕

[@BobLouden-r9q]

Do you mean the Aborigines?

[@quadbox]

@@BobLouden-r9q Yes, who are correctly referred to as First Nation people.

[@BobLouden-r9q]

@@quadbox First nations, is an Canadian term. Aborigine is the Australian term.

[@janetpendlebury6808]

@@BobLouden-r9q An Aborigine is a person, animal, or plant that has been in a country or region from earliest times, it is not specific to Australia. The term First Nations is being used more and more in Australia to name the Indigenous people.

[@BobLouden-r9q]

@@janetpendlebury6808 you are thinking Aboriginal, I said Aborigine.

[@cwerkzz]

Incredible video as always. This one and the last one have been so precious, the gorge from the last video and the drone shots from this one were just so pretty. Enjoy the rest of Australia guys. Oh and, those kids from Marble Bar were so cool. I'm sure they will remember you forever and vice versa.

[@spooning_phantom8660]

Rookie error with the milk Cheveyo 😂. The drone footage is mint guys. You are doing a fantastic job of capturing the absolute vastness of our country. It really stirs up emotions just seeing how beautiful it is out there.

[@michaelbovey3792]

The red dust is everywhere in outback Australia. It’s mostly hematite/ goethite dust (iron oxides). I’m not surprised you see so much more of it at Port Headland. Those are the main minerals mined in the Pilbara and shipped out from there

[@ActualOwl]

Australian here - nothing weird about PB & Jam to me

[@Rickxta]

Esp pb and apricot jam…

[@roontangdavis2694]

Great video guys. The Best Australian accent from a foreigner I've ever heard. Well done

[@robyneyahya8651]

Don't forget to stop at Barnhill for a night before you get to Broome. The evening song of the birds there are magnificent.

[@steveth1000]

We have gorgeous sunset pics from our stay at Barn Hill. These days I would think you would need to book a long way out to stay here.

[@Little_splash]

Great to see you guys back in Oz! I just got back from a 10 day adventure in Darwin-Litchfield-Katherine-Kakadu-Darwin, (20 year old bucket list ticked off) was staring at that very same moon you watched...wasn’t it incredible with those sunsets!! I could watch you two discover this country’s treasures all day! You know you are both adopted Aussies now right? Welcome home!

[@michaeljones853]

ha ha, love the disclaimer - Tia picked the detour south - Do the slam with coffee - even better

[@quietknight8250]

Thank you for posting, there's a lot of Love in what you present. As someone once said, that's all we need.

[@zoecowin2823]

Grew up on peanut butter and jam sandwiches and still have them decades later... Not sure why anyone would say its not a thing here, we don't all live on Vegemite lol

[@tarshnottrash1483]

With nearly 900 comments it’s already been said but Tia …definitely since you are a coffee lover & you chose Dark chocolate Tim tams…. Do the slam with that combination 🤤!!! Also surely mentioned - Peanut butter & honey-especially if you can pick up some local eucalypt flower honey…. I’m thinking you will love that to. Beautiful amazing journey with you again!!❤you guys

[@TheLegin11]

😮 You guy are the great example of what peanut butter and jelly stand for. Can't have one without the other. Love the vids, you make my day!❤

[@sniperneil53]

Fun Fact: Marble Bar is known as 'the hottest town in Australia' a fact which is still recorded by the Guinness Book of Records. For 161 consecutive days to 20 April 1924 the temperature in the town never dropped below 100°F (37.8°C). This record still stands after over eighty years. During all the time that records have been kept, the temperature at the town has never dropped below 0°C. Those Wallabies in the Caravan Park at 80 mile Beach are Agile Wallabies. All through that area are also Red Kangaroos (Macropus Rufus), allegedly the largest Kangaroo in Australia.

[@Katrina-vw6hd]

We do peanut butter and jam. Qld based, but from NZ, so not sure if it’s the Aussie norm. But it’s certainly done in the Southern Hemisphere…. Loving the series, and am going to go back to your Japan section for tips…. 😊

[@karenmcneill2602]

WOW! I'm from NZ but living in Australia for decades and I do not recall anyone eating PB and J sandwiches in either country. To me it's purely a US thing. But you learn something new every day!

[@sharlene6591]

Aussie here and I love peanut butter and strawberry jam combo on toast. Also love Vegemite and apricot jam combo on toast. My tastebuds are into sweet/salty foods!

[@lesrankin1767]

Peanut butter and Buderim ginger marmalade for the true Queenslander experience. Do it immediately.

[@michaelfink64]

This is the first video of yours I have seen but I am hooked and have subscribed. Those Aboriginal kids were so sweet. The drone shots are awesome. Looking forward to more of this.
