The CX-5 does come as a 4WD, although it is not too popular in that version. Other vehicles are more rugged built and that is what does count.

    Hi Tia & Cheveyo
    Fantastic news & so well-deserved re the vehicle.
    The trip sounds amazing.
    Just wondering if you have thought about going through Echuca on your way down to Melbourne - it's an old paddle steamer town on the Murray River. That whole area is beautiful; there are working paddle steamers & the river height variation during the year is huge as the melting snow makes it's way down there in spring.
    There was a great mini series made (in about the 80's I think), about the river trade, called "All the rivers run".
    Cheers

    Welcome back Tia & Cheveyo!! Shout out to Mazda Australia for the fantastic car (so well deserved by you two by having such an amazing trip with Blueberry!) Love you guys so much! Lots of people suggesting “girlie” names for your Ute - but I really think this one has a very masculine energy. (Thoughts?) I feel like Bruce would suit the BT quite well - this name has a very Aussie flavour to it. Travel safe and am so looking forward to all your gorgeous videos. ❤❤❤

    Would be pretty wild if you both did an Australian Indian Ocean tour afterwards (Christmas + Cocos (Keeling) Islands). The flights can get a bit costly, but since very few travel RUclipsrs have actually been there, I reckon it could be a boost for views? Either way, welcome back!

    Hey guys, you can call it a truck if you want. Some of us call ‘em trucks too. It doesn’t really matter, just enjoy the trip this time! I saw your video of ANZAC Day in Melbourne (where I live) and after that I went back to the start and followed you all the way. Definitely the best 'Americans touring OZ' video series I’ve seen. Welcome back!
    Oh, you can TRY camping when you’re in the bottom half, but I wouldn’t! I grew up in NZ and my wife is Canadian and although we’re not wimps about the cold, neither of us would go camping in June!
    It would be nice to catch up when you come through Melbourne (if you want). We live at the entrance to the Yarra Valley, not far from the AWESOME Healesville Sanctuary, which is all native fauna. (Tia will no doubt look it up) Stay safe kids!

    Welcome back to Australia. I bought a Mazda 3 two years ago, new, on my retirement. I was 72 at the time, and this is the third Mazda I've owned. They're easy to drive, economical and last forever. If you haven't already bought one, get one of those single burner, self igniting butane stoves which take disposable fuel cylinders. They are usually $25 to $35 AUS. in supermarkets, camping suppliers or Bunnings, (what don't Bunnings sell?). Have fun.

    Hope you have just as much fun (and more success!) on your road trip this time. We're biased Australians - so very glad you're back to enjoy Australia again and see the parts you didn't get to last time. Maybe you'll get to see the Mallacoota corner too? Looking forward to every video! (We love seeing the logistical side too)

    Welcome back guys! Your in your second home and heading to Tassie this time! I'm so happy for you. Driving up the west coast, I hope you get to stop at Broome and check out Cable Beach - it's an experience. If you're not crunched for time , do a bit more exploration along the way as parts of inland Victoria are quite amazing. The only bad news I have is that you're going to find that things are more expensive in Oz compared to your last trip. All the very best in your new car( Blimey! Well done Mazda Australia - that's amazing!) and have a great time. Hugs.

    Swanny!
    1) The number plate is “cyg”, a cygnet is a baby swan, cygnus is the genus name.
    2) This is the “swan song” to wrap-up your big circle trip.
    3) You landed in Perth, on the mighty Swan River, the WA flag has a swan on it too!
    4) Blueberry was a fruit, Ruby was a gem, Swanny is a bird. Good variety there.
    5) If you put two Swans beak-to-beak it makes a love heart. Lol.
    6) The classic black swan is mainly found in the SW and SE of Aus. The start and finish of this trip!
    Then again…BT-Barry is pretty awesome.
    Good luck, soak up the WA coast, recommend a visit to Shell Beach, 80 Mile Beach, Exmouth and Broome of course. And as many National Parks as you can. Mind the salty crocs, they’ll eat you 🐊

    I'm an Australian living in Oregon USA. Loved your first Aussie series, made me homesick. Wish you would do between Sydney and Noosa Qld. I used to surf up and down that coast when I was younger. Crescent Heads, Byron Bay and Noosa.

    • @jk177717

      I'd second that - if there's any time left after Tassie Melbourne to Southeast Queensland via the coast, as slowly as time allows, would be spectacular.

    Please don't miss Karijini, it is a long detour off the coast but a great place to see. We went Exmouth to Karijini via Millstream (took the mining roads with a permit). Two or three nights in Karijini to hike all the gorges. Then Karijini to Port Hedland to get back to the coast.

    Tia & Cheveyo have also done an article about 'Blueberry' on the Mazda AU website if you haven't seen it. It is logical for Mazda to do some easy advertising here! And of a course, although we loved 'Blueberry', a more suitable car for the Outback. Also don't worry, I like that new car, pristine clean engine look too!

We won’t forget the kindness you (Mazda and Australia) have extended to our fellow American 🇺🇸 travelers exploring your country on a shoe string budget and happy while doing it at that!
    Thank you @Mazda!
