Thanks Mate , It went really well on my trip up to Darwin, never missed a beat and was really comfortable to sleep in, and went everywhere that I wanted to go , good luck with your build .

Thanks Rick, I'm enjoying making these , and learning more about the video aspect :)

Hi, thanks for commenting, I've been streamlining the technique for the last 3 weeks and I'm now where I want to be with it , future edits will probably have the cars slowing down (matrix style) then the still pop up .................I love to photograph the cars on the move at meets with the drivers doing their thing, yes feel free to come up for a chat , look forward to meeting you :).

That slo mo idea sounds like a great addition.

Thanks @Scottyr05 , I've been fine tuning the idea for a couple of weeks, making changes as I go.........the camera looks like it belongs in a Star Wars movie at the moment ....nice to know that I'm heading in the right direction :)

Hi, it's held on the 4th Saturday of each Month from 6pm til 8 pm (self regulated)

They somehow managed to traverse the speed humps so they got the OK .........so I heard :)

I've had it a long while , back then there were plenty of them around , at one stage I had2 GTS 307 glides lol......one of the first things I did though was replace the powerglide with a turbo 400 .

there were some characters running around on leads :)

Thanks Tim ....yes , an awesome meet .....Packed !!! :)

Thanks Tim........finally got the video quality to where I want it :)

Thankyou @buickadelaide1283 ..as usual she looked awesome going past :)

@ cheers ..and merry XMAS N HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 2025

I have to agree with that :)....I've owned it since 1978!!

@ I’ve got an XRGT I’ve owned since 93, but had a really ratty/rusty HK 327 Monaro in the mid 80s I sold for $600. I really wished I had kept it and restored it over the years. They would have been a perfect pair in the shed. The HK looks smoother and more 60s than the HG and HT. Beautiful.

nice, love the early GTs ..............yeah for me it's the quirkyness of the HK that sets it apart....love the floor tach and the fake lights across the boot..................back in the day the HK was the Cinderella of the KTGs ...not so these days ....enjoy that XR :)

Thanks Nick ......she looked great going by :)

Glad you like them Greg , thanks for commenting :)

Thankyee :)

Kept me entertained :)

you bet :)

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed them.

It was nice to get out there and make some noise too :)

Hi Tim, thankyou, thought I would try something a little different :)

yes, and with help a long long way away, probably no phone coverage either,

Thankyou :) .... I have to agree , it was my first visit and I thought it was an awesome place .......From there onwards though it does get a bit desolate ....maybe that is the reason for the name , it was a great place to photograph the stars ....I'm definitely returning :)

Thanks for commenting Lee , yes now that you've mentioned it , I'll bet it's a well worn path all around there , yes the whole region is interesting, I'm planning on going back .........so much to explore around there. :)

Hi Tim...yes , awesome place , my first time there .......I shall return :)

Thankyou, those waterholes looked to me like they might be good spots to see Kingfishers , I really enjoyed my visit and will be returning to explore a bit more .

@ yes a good spot. Those cliffs ideal for bee eaters burrows.

Hi Tim thanks .......loved this one...I'll be returning soon.

Hi Tim, yes it was one of those areas where no matter where you stopped it was dense woodland with no landmarks .....lost territory ......yeah those Purple Crowned Lorikeets were interesting. :)

you're welcome Tim, thanks for watching....yes I was lucky the Mud Wasps didn't make a charge :)

Gee you know a lot ......that engine has been in the car since 1982 lololol

@@Ragsytheriffer must be the first run since 82 🤣

much loved and driven , owned since 78 ....did you ever think that I might have warmed the engine while I was getting the video camera ready :)

@@Ragsytheriffer hope so !

Glad you like them, there is no such thing as a lens that is too big lol

Hi Tim, yes Mataranka is an incredible place , I'm a bit of a fan of those Blue Winged Kookas........so different from ours (laughing kookas) .......there were lots of those Archer fish too .

Hi Tim , great swims in all of them but the Hot Springs were special.........and in town too which gave a great vibe ...yes I agree ....great country

Thankyou @johnmathisen1167, it was an awesome day , can't wait to get back there :)

Hi Tim , on the way up I came through there at around sunset and I wasn't expecting giants, it was a nice surprise long the road.

Hi Tim, thankyou, that was a great days birding, I was able to set a chair up along the creek bank and capture a lot of the action from the chair, I've never been able to do that before, I suspect there would have been Crocs in the creek, it just had that look about it , I kept back from the bank for a bit of protection, the locals had no problems wading in with cast nets though.

HiYa :)

Hi Tim , thankyou, yes that was a fantastic area......always special to bump into those Azure Kingfishers :)

bloody piece of wood after all that excitement :)

@@Ragsytheriffer bahaha

definitely worth visiting......great place in so many different ways .

Thanks Tim....yes it was a great local park, I visited it a few times , once I saw people staring at the snake and I could see that they were trying to work out if it was real ......I had to let them know :)

yes they are the most beautiful raptor , it's a shame we don't get them here :)

bloody Charles!!!!! .........then when I opened the box there was an oversized plastic cockroach lolol double whammy :)

lolol......It was the vinyl creaking.........that's my story and I'm sticking to it :)

Always my pleasure , I'm up against the Logies tonight lol ....always glad to help the travelling itch ;)

Thanks Tim , yeah I forgot to speak much in this video but you get the idea, it's a great place and it really helps people understand what went on back then , you never know with those War Peacocks :)

@@Ragsytheriffer Too right Bernie everyone thinks they are beautiful birds and sound lovely and all that, But, no-one ever really does checks on them. Good spotting mate.

Thanks @mnj640 ...........awesome feeling getting there and back without missing a beat :)

Re the bats, driving through Malaysia many of the power lines were strung vertically, not horizontally, we had kilometres of fried bats.

Thanks for watching Tim ....yes that change in the vegetation is wild to watch as you go along.......what a beautiful country :)

Hi @GrantPhillipsmastamak .......thankyou, yes I realized after I uploaded the video that I had messed up the pronunciation of the Barron River but was too lazy to go back and fix it with a title .....nice pick up, I'm surprised about the crater lakes because I thought that I read that they were the source , oh well , thanks for calling me out for accuracy sake .......lovely part of the world , can't wait to get back there.

@anthony851 lolol, thanks for your reply mate.......sometimes I wonder if my humour is wasted , hope it made you smile :)
