Wow, you managed to pack so much into your 24 hours in Port Macquarie! Just a note about the painted rocks along the breakwall - as long as you don’t paint over someone else’s design, you’re free to add your own. Just bring your own paint and supplies. It’s such a fun way for families to leave their mark on our beautiful town.
That's a great tip to share, thank you!
Dont forget to check out the actual dam if you are a rockhound. All jasper.
That’s correct. Makes for an interesting geological analysis. We also have jasper ridges up on the Northern Tableland plateau around Armidale which we investigated when I (Heather) was studying geology at UNE.
Great video !! Thanks for sharing - brought back lots of memories. Uralla is very special to me. Merry Christmas & a Very Happy New Year to you and yours 🎄🎁🎅
Merry Christmas to you too, and a happy New Year! So glad you enjoyed the video! 🎄
Very impressive reporting skills and editing. Thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Just found you Fabulous visit to Nundle My great grandfather lost his life chasing gold 1894 bless his soul
Tough gig hey. Thanks for sharing
Following on. Known as the 'Birthplace of our Nation', Sir Henry Parkes delivered his famous federation speech in the Tenterfield School of Arts in 1889, which ultimately led to the federation of all Australian states in 1901. Another place I'd like to visit. Thanks P.S. I love trains. Suddenly I'm six years old again.
Thank you and you’re welcome. I (Heather) am an historian in my day job (teaching and researching at UNE in Armidale). Your comment and your enthusiasm for history makes me feel very happy 😊
12:05 Plus one. First look at your videos, very impressed. Was looking at Nundle to visit with my grandson to see how gold mining started. History and adventure. Thanks
Oh, I’m glad you are teaching your son of Australia’s history. I’m actually working on a research project and writing a book on the topic of how the gold rush started in Australia. I can’t reveal key details before publication, but I will say that the story we were taught in school about Hargraves is not quite as it seems. But I must keep this under wraps until I have formally published my findings. Thanks for subscribing. - Heather.
Delighted to see the Nundle Woollen Mill thriving…..it used to be joy to visit but was then sold and really went downhill. So good to see that now it’s better than ever!! Thank you! I still constantly wear a scarf knitted with Nundle wool 🤗
Yes! We agree. And we each have a great pair of socks we bought from the Mill.
O, the native Nundillians are a special ppl bless them... I spent many year's living amongst them and studying their cultural practices and ways of living... It was truly an experience i won't forget...
Very well narrated and a most beautiful place !
Many thanks!
What a difference 30 years makes since I was last there. The town looks like a gentrified going concern now. Anyway when I was there, I found lots of old workings North East of town in the hills, hand dug horizontal mining tunnels etc, people still chasing gold seams adjacent to the various creeks and entrants. I think it was at Lucky Strike Mine. Cannot remember names anymore.
Absolutely agree. Thanks for sharing
@@MinutesWithMates Everything is online these days here for locations of old mine sites etc minview.geoscience.nsw.gov.au/ Old reports, what was found where, how much dirt was moved etc. How much gold was found where.
What I love about our Ausrtalian evolving culture is that we take the past with us and never forget where we came from and how grateful we are for those that have gone before us .
We stayed in the pub on the corner for the night, great spot and good food too. Full breakfast was a real bonus. Bought my bread cooking pot in the local shop and that yarn place. Well…I need to go again!
So good! Love that shop. Thanks for sharing your experience with the pub. Really helpful. Have a great week.
I used to drink with an old bloke from Nundle, Ed Martin, He has since passed away, but one of the things he told us about his youth was that on Armistice Day 1918 he rang the church bell in the town to signify the war was over. He was about 7 at the time. He rang the bell until a grown-up took over from him, after which the rope broke and the bell fell silent for a time. But that was one day he always remembered.
Great history. Thanks for sharing.
Armistice Day At 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. When I was a kid, as a nation, Australia stopped in remembrance. I still do.
My Mum's side of the family were one of the first families up around Nundle/ Walcha/ Nowandoc, spent many summers logging wood with dad to stock up our great grandparents in the winter (late 1980's), i do miss those times. Plenty of time in the bush around Nundle with Dad & Pop shooting, bagged plenty of foxes & the odd Deer or wild sheep/ goat, and plenty of snowy cold winters at Walcha with great grandparents, doing odd jobs on their farm
Beautiful memories
My mother was born in Nundle. 1902. Elsie Maude Wiggen.
Amazing. It would have been an interesting place to be back then.
Hi there, thanks so much for your wonderful video on our markets and so glad to hear you love it as much as we do. Im Kaz who manages and would love to share your video, if that's AOK?
Hi Kaz. Thank you so much for your encouraging comment. That would be great. We would be delighted for you to share the video. 😃
I was born there
Nice
Thanks
While there it's worth a side trip up to Hanging Rock
Love the beautiful community vibes, so wonderful 😍😍🥰😘😘
Quite chuffed to have made it into this little video, busking during the car show. I love Guyra!!🥰
Glad you enjoyed it! Guyra car show is a great one! Hope to see you in 2024.
Yup, I'll be there... playing on the stage this time. The difference a year makes. :) @@MinutesWithMates
That’s great! Will try to see if we can catch up with you
One day I will get to AgQuip....Been trying for 4yrs
I hope you do. It’s a great event
That was a fun watch. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Some of my fondest memories are being in the shearing shed with the family and the smell and feel of natural lanolin.
Awesome to have such wonderful memories
Wow I can’t believe how cool the processing of wool is, and the fact that they are still in business, 👏👏good on them for putting in the effort and hard yarn 😆
Amazing hey. Thanks for watching.
Just found you channel . You did a fine job of showing Thargo and local areas . You also proved , that you don't need a 4x4 . But to be honest , a Bull Bar is really a must . I wish you and you wife all the best with your channel . Slow and steady , not running around like a Blue Assed Fly . Every one racers through areas and you really don't see anything . So many thanks . Bob from Quilpie ..👍👍👍
Thanks so much and welcome. You are so right. I think when it comes to the bull bar, our area of Australia (rural NSW) has the highest incidence of collisions with wildlife so we are well accustomed to slow and steady and keeping our eyes peeled, particularly at certain times of the day. Nevertheless, we always limit the hours we would do in a day and the time of day we drive. We do plan (hope) to get a 4x4 to go further afield one day when the economy settles down and we plan a slower and steadier trip out that way through your town and Birdsville into SA. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe.
What a lovely tour, such history & your video & drone work was excellent . Most of all. Loved Peter Allen’s son Tenterfield Saddler. Thank you so much ,Elaine from Brisbane.
Many thanks! So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching ☺️
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Great channel and content! I'm gonna keep my eye on it 👁 Greetings from Poland 👋👋
Awesome! Thank you!
Fantastic video, I was there with the wife 12 months ago. I cannot speak highly enough of the town the people in it and particularly the owners of the Oasis motel, sad news about the Foodworks from memory the owners of the motel had that. Safe travels
Thank you. It’s a great place isn’t it
At 6:16 I'm the guy with the Orange Pants, Blue shirt and Fox-Furr hat! Thanks for posting this and giving some good footage of our Viking village!
Wow that’s awesome. Thanks for your kind comment and thank you for your entertainment at the festival
🏴🏴🏴 great to see all things Scottish, but without our rain 😊
Oh yes we had a magic day weather wise. The cold fronts are coming through tonight so luckily the festival got in ahead of that!
Beautiful Country, beautiful vintage cars & another beautiful video. Love it. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the notification bell to work for me on this video either. At least I'm subscribed - I hope YT will show more of your videos in my feed because I don't get notified when you put anything new up. I love your channel - fantastic.
Looking into it. Thanks again
I know many of those places so well - so beautiful !! I hope to be going back again soon. <3 Great video - Much respect. For some reason, YT isn't letting me hit the notification bell on your video. Will try on another video. I've been subscribed to you for several months now - now i understand why I haven't been getting notifications for your videos.
Gin is my favourite drink - I've never visited this distillery before - well done in bringing attention to local Aussie businesses. Now that I know they are there, I'll try to stop in next time I pass by - I will let them know I saw your video.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will look into the issue with the notification in case it’s something at our end. We appreciate the heads up. Cheers mate.
@@MinutesWithMates No worries - I hope you can get it fixed. Best wishes from the Gold Coast to you both
Okay so I had a look and I will make sure I have the box checked to notify subscribers. If that doesn’t work, RUclips suggests subscribers run through a troubleshooter at this link: support.google.com/youtube/troubleshooter/9334012?sjid=15873873823939730333-AP
@@AussieAdventuresWithRose when you do, make sure you phone ahead to let them know, as they are often booked out with their tastings. We phoned ahead to go there and they’ve asked that visitors do that so they don’t miss out. The website is in the description of my video, with their contact information.
What amazing history there is
We recommend visiting the museum if you’re in or travelling through Gunnedah. We only filmed a small amount. It was huge.
I live in this town
wow, Amazing‼️
Thank you 🙌
Here in Geelong at the showgrounds have similar displays, tractor pulls and there is a huge shed full of various steam driven machinery. My kind of thing.
I think there are a lot of these around. Have you been to the National Transport Museum in Inverell, NSW?
@@MinutesWithMates No
@@grahamwood9842 if you get the chance to come this way I’d highly recommend it. It’s very very good. Wouldn’t it be quite a sight if all the antique machinery associations got together at one big national event.
@@MinutesWithMates Thanks I will
Very enjoyable. These outback towns are really showcasing them selves. Thank you
Thank you for watching
Another lovely destination, with a lot going for it with the university
Indeed. It’s because of the university and our academic careers that we came to base ourselves here many years ago.
A lot of alternative living around Bello, but like everything on the east coast, the real estate is sooo expensive. Thanks for the video😊
So true!
Loved it
Glad you did. Thanks so much for watching
Wow, glad I discovered your you tube channel love our country, thanks I have enjoyed your travels
Awesome, thank you!
We used to visit Guyra back in the 70s, with the Holden stationwagon full off camping gear with shovels & sieves in the trailer fossicking for gems
What a great little town & interesting surrounds
Thank you
Friends of mine owned the old bush nursing hospital for a long time they ran 2 small businesses from there one was a building company and the other was manufacturing furniture from recycled materials and sold around the country that was called bullo built great people
What a great video! I like the way you took your time in Thargomindah & filmed everything. The History you related to us was so interesting. Keep up the good work, you will make a lot of people very happy. Thank you from Elaine in Brisbane.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your encouragement.
