Top 5 Hidden Gems of Brisbane, Australia
Glad to know that on the other side of the world I am not alone. Thank you for sharing.
What's the app do you use? My (stepsApp) is so bad it's doesn't count around 6000step of my steps😭
Is it roughly about 14km a day nice going😊
how long were you allowed to stay in the hobbit house??
Inside the hobbit house is about 20minutes to explore (due to other groups coming behind in timed segments). The whole tour takes 2 hours 30 minutes for each group's Standard Hobbiton Tour 🥰 Thank you for watching Doctor!
I make sure to do 10,000 a day. I do a 50 minute walk which is roughly 6,000 then the other 4,000 just come from everyday activities, chores, errands, etc.
My dream house😍
I didnt eat for 27 hours and i want 50 hours
That's awesome! 😁 I hope you feel ok, and find benefit in the extended effort! Bodies are pretty amazing, yes? 😊 Thank you for watching and for sharing your journey here with us!
@@AussieGem Is it normal that my back hurts? I did 50 hours and ate Couscous after that and next morning my back hurts
I advise to sit for a few minutes during the walk after walking for a while to allow your knees to recover. Also eat some protein during the walk. That's to avoid damaging your knees. Once damaged they never go back. That isn't to discourage you, just do it the right way and you'll be fine.
Thanks for the advice! 😁 It's hard to post sometimes because I feel I have to live up to my expectations and standards. I feel guilty when I don't live up to them. But it's all about the process, not the outcome! "Life is about the journey, not the destination."
Omg so funny when at first of the video lol ❤I’m getting one for sure I can do that lol. Aww love that kitty so sweet great review..what level is it one or two?
Hi Tori - I'm so happy you enjoyed the video! 😅Thank you for watching and leaving your kind comment. I was using the original mat, so the middle level (the other levels are 'light' and 'advanced'). Hope you get great use from it! 🥰
lol made me laugh out loud when you first laid on it hahaha love it , I’m getting one to….
Wishing you all the spiky joy with it! hahaha thank you Tori for watching 😊
How much does a tour like this cost?
Thanks for watching 🙂 Currently the price for the standard tour is $120 NZD. The price might change, so feel free to keep checking the site for bookings: www.hobbitontours.com/experiences/hobbiton-movie-set-tour Hope you have a great day! 😃
Why don't you find out about Islam. And you can compare the Quran and the Bible. In Islam, Jesus is a prophet, not a god. And God is one, not three.

That's a huge shift - thank you for sharing your experience here too. It takes courage to step out, and I hope you find the kind of work that 'clicks' right for you. Thank you for watching 😊 I appreciate you being here.
Love the Dymocks cafe. Always meet my mum there when I'm in Sydney. There are so few old fashioned, low key places left in Sydney.
I love this! What a beautiful way to meet and spend time 🥰 There's another little tucked away book store called Ampersand (on Oxford Street in Paddington) which has vintage books and a few levels to explore on a small scale, which you might like? It has a little cafe too. Thank you for watching Chris - I appreciate you being here.
really good video and excellent insight into societal expectations and how that links to our needs
Thank you Miss Lola for watching and leaving your kind comment 😊 I hope you're doing well and finding those moments of joy in your days. I appreciate you being here.
Appreciate the reality check, Gemma. Taking a deep breath with all this😂.
Haaa you SO get this stuff! 😅 Big breaths indeed, haha. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video Ariel 😊 Wishing you all the success and joy in your creative efforts 🥰
You always seem to drop the exact video I need, when i need to see it!
I'm so happy to hear that Chris! Got a feeling there's a bunch of us walking the same path at the same time.💖 Hope you're finding ways to relax and switch off. Thank you for watching and leaving your comment 😊
What if I’m just cranky all the time 😂😂😂. I need puppy yoga! 🐶 🧘♂️. And pizza 🍕. Another stellar production my friend 🎉🎉🎉🎉.
Hahaha is cranky a personality type though? 😉 Pup + pizza is the cure, I've heard... haha Thanks Wayne! Hope you have an awesome rest of the week!
@@AussieGem bought a food scale. I even diet nerdy
@@waynewells7471 Does that fit a whole pizza on it? 🍕🤪 But srsly, how good are food scales?! I got one myself, and realised the 'serving size' on back of most packs of food, is actually child-size portion. I was eating double serves most times 🤣
@@AussieGem just looking for a calorie deficit
I handle injury claims for insurance this is a great video gave me a lot of thought if I should pursue a law career preferably injury attorney. The long hours and lack of work life balance is not my cup of tea.
Thank you for sharing your experience so far here 😊 - it's a lot to consider re: $/trade-off costs (I also worked in defence insurance firms for over a decade, and the exposure to claims and the timeframes/stress is relentless! It takes a certain type to deal with a level of burnout day in day out). I hope you find what brings the right kind of meaning/contribution/energy in career ✨ Thank you for watching!
thankyou
You're welcome Nile - thank you kindly for watching my video! 😊
observe but don't absorb - I can relate and strangely at age of 33 cancer activated in me, even if what I thought was holistic lifestyle approach.
Thank you Mike for watching and for your insightful comment - I love how you phrased that "observe but don't absorb". 🙂That is something I also need to remember and focus on. I appreciate you taking time to reflect and contribute your comment 😍
Gemma, how come every time I see you I get butterflies in my tummy? 😍
Great video! 😊 Sometimes, I go to bed right after work, so this video is a crucial reminder to prioritize rest.
Thank you for watching Chi - I love that you're taking care of your health like this! 🥰And how good is sleep?! Haha 😅
😊 great information
Glad you liked it Woody! Thank you for watching 😊 Hope you're well, and have a great week ahead! 😍
Plz tell when new part of the hobbit release plzzzzzz tell me ????????
Hi Abdul 🙂 The new part is already open (since December 2023), so everyone on the tour will be able to walk through the hobbit home 😍
You nailed the Wakatipu name,well done and huge respect.
Thank you kindly for letting me know! 😊 I appreciate it. Thanks for watching too. Hope you're keeping well and have a wonderful week ahead 😃
@@AussieGem No worries,and likewise,stay well.
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole and that meant comfort." A Description of a Hobbit-hole
Thank you Smokey Mcb for watching, and leaving this wonderful quote 😍 Wishing you inspiring adventures, fond memories and good health!

I aim for 1 hour walks of around 6km, not too long but great exercise. I am also listening to a couple of language study lessons during the walk which forces me to study it, where I often procrastinate if I was to have to study at home.
Hi Andy - I love this! That's a great effort and also double-benefit (you've inspired me to try learning a little bit of language now too whilst walking!). Thank you for watching and sharing your experience 🙂 Wishing you many good walks!
How adorable and therapeutic. Such a precious experience I'm sure ❤
It sure was Mel 😊 I got more than I bargained for...haha 😅 Thank you for watching. I hope you're doing well and keeping warm in this arctic-like season! 😍
"...sucked into the vortex of your backend..." Made me laugh but you're absolutely right about being focused on learning and improving. Thanks for the encouragement!
Haha I'm glad you laughed Laura! Sometimes we just can't take things so seriously, aye? And also - hello fellow voice actor! 🥰 So great to see you here! Hope you're well!
I'm walking 15000 steps a day 7 days a week. Occasionally I throw in 20000 steps. Yesterday I managed 23000. Tomorrow begins my 6th week, and I'm feeling great.
Amazing effort Annette! 😊 A minimum of 15K a day - wow, that's fantastic, and I'm so happy to hear you're feeling great doing it! Thank you for watching and sharing your journey here - it's so uplifting to read too 🥰 Wishing you continued success on your walking adventures!
I went in with the technical mind as you call it, and I had a depressing time. I plan on going back after 2+ years of not making videos and this time I just want to have fun.
I hear you CeeC! I also went down that track at certain points and realised I didn't get a 'kick' out of tick-boxing (it took the creative spirit out of things!) Curious to learn what videos you enjoy making in future 🙂 Thank you for leaving your comment and sharing here. Wishing you joyful adventures, whichever form they take!
I love my Shakti mat! I've had it for about 7 years or so, it's so helpful for pain and sleep! Very entertaining review! :)
Ahhh hello fellow Shakti mat appreciator! 😍 Wow, 7 years - I am so happy to read your comment, the mat sounds like a great investment in health over the long term. Thank you for watching Wyrdwitch - I appreciate you stopping by! 😊
If I was to start a RUclips channel again, oh wait I already have one 😂
Hi OnboardingInformation! Thank you for watching - and also congrats on having a YT channel! I love that you share science & tech subjects - this area will only get bigger and there's a lot of change happening too! I hope you're enjoying creating. Have a great weekend 😊
im doing 15k a day...i found 20k too hard time wise
Hello car lover! Wow, that is a great effort - 15K might be a sweet spot for health and time factors - you've inspired me to try this myself! Hope you're well and you have a great weekend ahead 🙂
@@AussieGem legs are achy today 15k isnt easy but hopefully rewarding in the end its definately not easy, back to it tommorrow morning hope the rain stops here in london

Ahh this is such exciting news to read! Thank you for commenting anteres and letting me know - I'm so glad you found this video helpful! Wishing you the most amazing travels in NZ and joyful Hobbiton experience - it is a very special place 😊
Great content Gemma, may I ask were you get your videos from that you add to your content. Thanks so much
Thanks for watching Robert! I appreciate it 😊 I found Pixabay and Pexels to be helpful sites, and there are RUclips channels also offering copyright free videos too (Google search will bring these up!). Happy creating! 😊
Thank you so much! That was just the inspiration I needed right now. I am in the processes of creating my first video. I'm having fun but, boy, do I have a lot to learn! I will think of your pep talk as I continue the process.
Amazing! Thank you Julia for leaving your comment - I'm so happy you're starting and finding the fun in it 😃 I look forward to hearing how you go, if you're open to sharing here again. Thank you for watching and have a great weekend ahead! 😍
Have to agree with you Gemma. I started my channel several years ago and just made videos about building model kits. Something I did as a kid and figured I would do again later in life as a stress relief from work. Well it started off quite well and I got monetised and all that exciting stuff. Then life got in the way and I didn't do much with the channel for a few years. Fast forward now and I am retired and think I will kick start the channel again. Problem for me is I went into analysis paralysis. Thirteen million videos telling me what key factors I had to consider in my videos and how just making one about what I know was far to simplistic. So a month or so ago I looked at what worked and what people were still watching on my channel from years ago. Me as a teacher (my old day job) chatting to camera about what I was doing, because as a teacher thats kind of a skill you get good at. I had no plan, no niche, I just did videos on what I liked to do in the hobby and what I was exploring like new products for the hobby. Then your video came along and basically said the same thing. Be authentic and be you. Sure makes the day a lot simpler to plan. :) Cheers, Dan
Hi Dan! 😊Thank you for watching and leaving your comment - I enjoyed reading of your YT start, hobby and also career past. Truth reveal time - I had a peek at your channel and WOW you have really fun, interesting and well made videos! I find your videos quite calming and the vibe reminds me of art class (which I loved!). I collected a couple of egg plane models myself (both WWII), but I felt sad I never put them together so gave them away (years ago!) - wish I'd known of you then, I could've sent them Tassie way 😃 Thank you for sharing your creative adventures here. I hope you continue to create and have fun doing so.
More prawns, puppies and kittens, and just wonderful goofy Gemma.... ☺🤭😁
😁 awwww yes! You're right. We need more goof! Hope you're well Wayne 😊 I need to paste myself with dog food and visit a puppy shelter. That would be an epic vid.
@@AussieGem Goat yoga, swimming with the sharks, and hot tub roulette... pretty sure those are cant miss 😅😄😃🐐🦈
OH WOW I just searched goat yoga and that. is. a. thing! hahaha definitely something I'd do, although I doubt I'd do any yoga at all 😂 Don't wear anything that's tasty.
Hi Gemma; I hope you're well. I love your videos. I also have a law degree but haven't done my PLT, I guess I can't be bothered lol. Gemma, I'm your biggest fan!! Take care. Love ya!! 😘
Hi Marcello - thank you for watching! I am so happy you enjoy my videos, and I appreciate your kind comments! The good thing about the law degree, you got the bulk of the hard stuff done now! Can always do PLT later if inspiration hits. haha 😅 Hope you're doing well 😊

My daughter is in the US Coast Guard and her boat stopped in New Zealand so she went on a tour to this place in early 2024. It's cool seeing all this via a video because she sent me still life phone pictures. I'd like to go someday. I started reading the Hobbit in 3rd grade and kept reading all of his books until probably 11th grade. It's amazing how much they made these places so similar to the way Tolkien described them in the books.
Thank you Clay for watching and leaving such a wonderful comment! I loved hearing your story of reading Tolkien's books, and also the tour experience your daughter had! I hope you do get to go to NZ and Hobbiton one day - the people are friendly and it's such a beautiful place to be in, giving many moments of peace and appreciation. Wishing you best of health and a wonderful week ahead 😊
How did the boat get so lost? LOL

He became king in August. Good time for a sun king to be crowned.
Thank you for watching and leaving your comment - this is a great little info piece I was unaware of! The history is so interesting! I hope you are well and have a wonderful week 😊
But I thought Mrs. Bagshot was the author of A History of Magic, and that she died after being possessed by a snake?
I had no idea about this little Harry Potter story of Bathilda Bagshot! Looks like there's a lot of rich history to the name of Bagshot! The Tolkien writings dive into the homes along Bagshot row (with Bag End being number 1) in a fun little article here: tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Bagshot_Row Thank you for watching! Hope you have a great week 😊
