Beautiful photography. Lovely family . I like Dads song at Maits rest. The animal with the spines you saw was a Mammal called an Echidna. While your in that area, make sure 100% that you go inland to the Grampians . You will be amazed. Breathtaking countryside in the Grampians .
Yes true but i work outdoors in sth east regional Victoria near state forest and an echidna family come out doing their thing and we just watch them & leave them alone. Extremely shy
I lived in Melbourne all my life, thanks for showing what a beautiful part of the world we live. You’ve inspired me again to explore our wonderful state again.
The koalas look like little bears 😊 Another amazing video. Thank you so much. My 9 year old son and I always love watching your videos. Sending our love from South Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
I grew up in the Otways and it's a special special part of the world. So glad you went to Maits Rest. It's full of glow worms of a nighttime. We're very lucky in this country
BEAUTIFUL!!! ☺ Every moment would be beautiful and spectacular to me if I were there. That stretch of coastline is at the top of my list. Hopefully I will make it to Australia someday. Love all the wildlife! You saw an echidna! (spiny anteater) So COOL! Again ... awesome video!
Great video and really cool shots of the wildlife and stunning scenery along the GOR. I just got back from an Australia trip and did much the same 2 day trip along the GOR - aww this makes me miss Australia! I’m with Dad - it was all stunning along that stretch, but the Mait’s Rest walk is unforgettable. Like another world. Great video. Cheers!
Echidnas and kangaroos & wombats are a treat at work I work up in regional Victoria sth east around 1.5 hours from the city Eastern grey male big guy stands pushing chest out looking at us protecting the young.
I was born in Melbourne and travelled that road many times. Probably the only thing it lacks is a truly high stretch of the road where the ocean is far below and gives a more panoramic perspective. Otherwise, it's a pleasure to drive.
Now you've seen the ocean & cliffs along the Ocean Road you'll understand why its called the Shipwreck Coast - and why there were hardly ever any survivors. Those cliffs were near unassailable.
@@RyderSontaig im that person that doesn't think before i speak. Got me in trouble alot but i have survived. Just haven't learnt my lesson yet. Not bad for someone who was born in the 60s.
In the 18 and early 1900s, Koala's were hunted nearly to extinction, for thier furs. American president Herbert Hoover was contacted by the Australian conservation society and he agreed to stop the import of furs to the U.S. This stopped the certain extinction of the Koala.
They're actually not bears at all :) & that's totally an "overseas" term, we never call them Koala bears, just Koalas 😊 They are marsupials, with pouches & are more closely related to our other marsupials: kangaroos, possums bandicoots, wallabies etc than they are to bears. 😊 Loving your videos!
I once walked down towards that Apostle and the tide came in super fast. I was trapped by the water. Got knocked over a couple of times. Walked back up the steps drenched 😅
Great video. I was going to say beautiful, but apparently you guys have said that word too many times. Just some info about the wildlife in the video: - The large, muscular kangaroo looked like the alpha male of the group. He keeps a harem of females, which only he is allowed to mate with. The coughing/growling sound he was making is used as a threat to other males, when fighting over the females in the group. He was most likely asserting his dominance, so keeping your distance from the group was a good idea. - The small porcupine/anteater you saw is an Echidna (pronounced e-kid-na). The echidna and platypus are known as monotremes, which are the only group of mammals which lay eggs, instead of giving birth to live young. The echidna is sometimes referred to as the spiny anteater. Young echidnas are known as puggles. - No doubt you have already seen this multiple times in the comments, but koalas are not bears. They're not even related to bears. They are marsupials, and have more in common with kangaroos, wombats, Tasmanian devils, even the North American opossum (Virginia opossum).
I love watching your adventures in Australia, one comment I would like to make is Koalas are not related to bears it's a common mistake made by overseas visitors.
Glad you are enjoying the most wonderful country on planet earth (not that I am biased!). Ya gotta brush up on your pronunciations!! For example it is not Kwala it is KO AR L A.
Not a bad video but should be perhaps entitled video essay on the drop bear. The Loch Ard Gorge has a story. There was a ship wreck and a young guy saved the life of a young woman by dragging her from the wreck and then through the waves to the beach. They never met up again as the guy was to lower class to be associated with the girl. Rumored origin of the name Kangaroo. British sailor says to Indigenous person "What is that?:" pointing at hoppy animal. Indigenous person responds "Kangaroo" which meant "I don't understand the question"
Another Great Video guys! You captured the spirit of the Great Ocean road and 12 Apostles Perfectly! Great family. Keep having fun 😊
The Great Ocean Road is one of Australia best stretches of scenery.
Your images of our native wildlife is fantastic - glad you got to enjoy this special part of Australia 🙏

An Echidna is a very rare sight especially that close.

The spiky animal (anteater/porcupine) was an echidna.
they're the best ❤ and they're monotremes like platypus - they are mammals that lay eggs! and they're great swimmers 😊
You guys are a beautiful family and showing our young beautiful country x can’t say beautiful too much !!! All Good
i did that nature walk last xmas .. loved it
Great video guys!
Try tomato sauce/ketchup on that pie... Certainly adds to the Aussie experience 😊
42 lived in australia never seen a koala outside a zoo... these guys
Lovely filming that you do, so talented. Looking forward to more of your journey.
I live in Melbourne and i've been to Great Ocean Road multiple times,but after seeing your videos,i feel like i need to go there one more time😊
You are lucky to see a koala
Echidnas and kangaroos & wombats are a treat at work
I work up in regional Victoria sth east around 1.5 hours from the city

Where is the tomato sauce(Ketchup) LOL

Hopefully you make it all around our beautiful country
not a koala bear . koalas are marsupials
Please, koalas are not bears..
I came here to say the exact same thing. Just Koala
If them saying koala Bears effects you so much. Then why don't you just do yourself in😢
@@Nudgee-2805 Bit over the top my guy, but I do agree, not sure why you would let something so insignificant bother you at all.

Been Aussie for 55 years, i used to call them koala Bears. So your full of shit.
@Nudgee-2805 well you were well and truly wrong 😅
So much to see in Australia. Where to begin?
Wow wow Awesome my friend

It’s not a bear it’s a marsupial
I think that you would love to live here and we would be so happy to be a great a family 😊

OMFG stop saying Koala BEAR!!!! it's just Koala.
Growing up in Australia it was quite common to hear them referred to as koala bears. We also call our bats flying foxes even though they're not foxes.
12:00. Why nearly everybody Chinese. 😮
Tourists
