Too many snakes and spiders in the places you go that could kill you. Some nasty little bull ants that bloody hurt when they bite too! Bull ants aside, I too worry about you guys not wearing shoes. You’re a beautiful couple and so relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable to watch. I’ve seen parts of Australia I’ll never see thanks to you both. We all just want you to stay safe.
The least talked about sting is the bull ant sting … a bull ant crawled over my brother’s bare foot and stung his big toe and you can’t imagine the pain and swelling he endured. The MD warned him that people have died from an allergic reaction to them.
@@judileeming1589 I am allergic to jackjumpers - I’m not sure if you get them everywhere in Australia, but they’re little black ants that actually do jump - a jackjumper bite is as painful as bull ant bites- I was told that both are equally as dangerous- for me & many others, one bite is enough to cause anaphylaxis & if you don’t have an epipen on hand, there is a real possibility that if you do have anaphylaxis, you can die
Best thing for you guys and Mazda was this partnership with the BT50. Great advertising for Mazda and you're going places Blueberry wouldn't be able to. Also the drone footage has taken your channel to another level.
These last couple of videos have been your best ever. Feels like you’re taking us on a journey to places no other youtuber has ever gone to. Great work. Thank you
Ok now Cheveyo has the Aussie spirit. Laid back (mostly/appearing).. but below the surface lies the ability to give someone a verbal serve/rant/shade when they deserve it (Repco) lol
This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. Artistic eye for texture and color, and well framed shots. Tia did an excellent drive through some relatively deep water! Cheveyo is correct in expecting a machine to do the ONE job as advertised.
That Mazda sponsorship was completely earned in this episode! The shots of it going through the water crossing looked like an ad. Love Blueberry but it's great you've been able to have Luna for this journey and do better off roading! "Us to wear shoes" was hilarious, I noticed the amount of comments saying that too! But the star lapse is definitely wanted, beautiful!
Even if It didn't it would still be covered by Australian Consumer Law for the reasonable lifetime of the device, which is probably more than 12 months.
I see Chev has the 2 finger wave going as other cars pass by, very Australian. And with his Aussie lingo and the beginnings of a fine mullet, all you need to do Tia is get that mullet going. You'd both make a fine pair of soft centred Aussie bogans😂 Putting jokes aside, I'm really enjoying watching your West Australian travels as I plan to do it in the future by motorcycle. You were probably joking about the Aussie citizenship, but you both would fit in well here. Oh, I love those drone shots that encapsulate the vastness of the outback.

@@andrewbarnett5542 sad isn’t it.

You are so right … many of the special locations across the entire Outback have a spiritual feel about them … and you do need to stop and reflect that Aboriginal people have been visiting these places for well over 40,000 years. Thank you again. 😘 to you both.
As someone who's yet to see these parts of Australia I'm very much envious but excited I get to in the future. I've had many friends with your experiences or grew up in these regions and they all the same about the spiritual elements. They have far more reverence for nature and the teaching of Aboriginal peoples. Can't wait to see it for myself! Completely agree these episodes have been amazing!
@@hilarykoppen2776 your are of course correct … well over 40,000 years. Latest research I have read suggests 75,000 - 80,000+ years. 40,000 came to mind when I wrote my initial comment because I had The Seekers playing in the background.
@@ricochet3510 It's amazing the places people used to go in regular vehicles. All these places have been visited numerous times in regular sedans and station wagons. As a kid in the late 70s our family went around Australia in a regular sedan towing a caravan, there was basically nowhere dad wouldn't point his 2wd sedan. Back then you hooked your caravan to your Kingswood, Falcon or Valiant and drove everywhere. Usually heavily overloaded, but no-one seemed to care, people made do with what they had.
Absolutely! I've had Mazdas my whole driving life (apart from my first car, which was a horrible mini that looked amazing, and my dad spent so long trying to make it great for me, but it was terrifying for a learner to drive and kept breaking down (it was a '72)). So he traded it in for a Mazda 323 (Zippy) and I'm on my 4th and just kept trading up Mazda models. I'd never have anything else. Currently on what was my 'dream car' for ages - a ruby-red CX-5 (Cherry), and I love her so much (I talk to her and praise her when she's done some hard yards 😅) ❤
Hey Trudi. My dad has owned five new Mazda's over many years, (the 1st was a 1979 626) and I've owned an RX3 and an RX7 and still own my gorgeous MX5. Funny enough I just bought my daughter a silver CX5 Akera because I wanted her in a reliable safe car. Zoom, Zoom! 🥰🥰 P.S. I think Mazda should donate the car to our fantastic travelers and sponsor them citizenship as product promoters. Cheers, and be well. 😊
@@chrisgregory4796 Hi Chris. Love the comment. Back in the mid-seventies five of us teenage idiots drove a 1966 Holden HR wagon around Aus, back when there was very little tarmac, just endless corrugations and red dust. We fitted the beast with twin gearboxes, the std three-on-the-tree coupled to a four-on-the-floor Aussie box with a shortened t/shaft which gave us 12 forward gears and 3 in reverse. This allowed 3 lower gears than 1st for climbing sand dunes. It was fitted with H/Duty springs, big off-road tires (three spares on the roof rack) and a bull bar. It looked like something out of Mad Max. Did the trip without a mechanical failure but blew six tires. Fun times indeed. Cheers. 😁
In order to make this Epic Driving Experience across our great land even more memorable, it would behoove MAZDA to Gift them the damn Ute. At the very least.
The language of snag: A "snag" is just a sausage, more specifically it's usually a beef sausage but it could be other meat. A "sanger" is a sandwich of any type. And a sandwich is something made with sliced bread. Now the basics of life are clear. A "sausage sandwich" or "sausage sanger" or "snag sanger" can only be a sausage wrapped in a slice of bread or between slices of bread. You put it in a long bread roll here and it would normally be called a "hot dog" but if you wanted a more American style hot dog you'd buy saveloy sausages, which are like frankfurters but bigger.
I didn't know that I wanted a Star Lapse...but I'm glad you did one. Nice to see some Midnight Oil playing. Best video I've seen of the Bungle Bungles...I didn't know it was so far off the main road and that there are so many water crossings. Just another great video.
Thanks for showing such an incredible landscape and unreal video shots. Also to prevent an expensive collision - if a kangaroo jumps across in front of your vehicle as at 9:52 - immediately look for a second one that may be following.
Repco will replace it - but understand it is Chinese junk & they get hot pretty quick. The twin pistons models work better as pump more volume/air up faster. The night sky up there is majestic for sure due to air purity & no man made light interference. Great vlog!! Are you exploring the Ord River
So funny seeing the opposites: Cheveyo being excited about the water crossings & Tia looking quite nervous 😂😂 - Tia, blueberry got you through your last trip, Luna is newer & better (sorry blueberry) - have faith ❤️ (BTW - looked like a whole lot of fun to me!) 7:29
I am with Tia on this one! I get nervous with roads full of pot holes, let along crossing a river! :D My car is also a little 25 year old hatch though :P
Interesting that you commented on the palm trees in the secluded gorge. Some years ago a prehistoric tree was discovered in another secluded gorge about 200 miles west of Sydney. It was called the Wollemi Pine and was thought to be extinct. Following the discovery the location was kept publicly secret until enough seeds were collected to propagate them. Now the gorge has been named Wollemi Gorge. You can actually buy the tree in retail outlets now for a few hundred dollars. ( a living fossil )
We like stars too, but shoes! 😂 Good to know I am not the only one to mention the lack of shoes. Rotisserie all the way. Men tend to run hot. I always found my hubby to be a great foot warmer. That would give me claustrophobia, the rock walls being so close, but it is gorgeous.
Hey the star lapse!!! I asked for it in one of your prior episodes!!! Thank you for doing that, that's awesome! one of my favourite epi. gazing at the stars for me grounds me the insignificance of whatever all this is, and just how lucky we all really are!!!
Great choice to not use music over the first few shots of the Bungle Bungles, and then a great choice of music for the scene later. P.S. To see you two young Americans enjoying the Aussie outback and feeling the spirituality of the natural places gives me hope for the future.
Great trip and loved to revisit the Bungles we did coach trip and helicopter fantastic place, great drone filming a great way to see a very different view we never see. You are lucky to also travel in good weather but after rain adds great beauty to this usually dry area love your enthusiasm and enjoyment travel safe ❤😊
@@OnePackWanderers I didn't notice anything out of place - perfection is a goal not a measure. We are fully invested in your adventure so quit worrying - she'll be jake
Nothing better than Midnight Oil Diesel and dust album in the outback. Glad you had beds are burning playing even though another sound track was playing at the time. Keep up the good work
Oh, and there is another pretty gorge at El Questro Station called Emma Gorge about 85 kms from Kununurra that you may appreciate. Lake Argyle is lovely, too. We were there in 2000, and had a small child, were camping in a camper trailer, and did a great tour on a sea plane, which flew close to the old Argyle Diamond mine (which was the biggest producer of diamonds in the world including of pink diamonds, but closed in 2020) and over the Bungle Bungles, came back and took a boat cruise on Lake Argyle, and then caught a bus back to Kununurra. It was magical. WA is my home State. I truely love all of it. It doesn't normally get so much love as you show for her. Thank you.
Loving every bit of your Aussie tour. And your becoming Aussies with every day here lol. Your almost ready for "The castle" ( movie) where you will get the Aussie slang and Aussie vibe
Hi Tia and Cheveyo. No outback adventure is worth the trip until something breaks down. And old trick I used to use is to inflate the spare tyre to 100 psi. Then carry a tyre infatuation hose with a valve and pressure meter on one end. And a screw on tyre valve fitting on the other. Then just top the other tyres to required pressure from the spare when you come off the track and back on the bitumen. It's cheaper than those compressors, and has no moving parts.
I’m curious if doing this has ever destroyed your spare, since most light vehicle tires have a max PSI rating well below 100? Luna’s tires for example aren’t supposed to be aired above 44 PSI. I do think your strategy is interesting though 🤔
Really liked this video. It brought back memories of the Bungle Bungles when we went there years ago. Crossing streams and rough roads is quite satisfying when safely done and you can feel very pleased with what you achieved. I know I was surprised about what we did. The Repco compressor was a sad thing to happen. We used a Black Max for our travels and we still have it and it never let us down. But in those days, they were made in Australia, I think. I also think that everyone who watches your videos would support any application for citizenship!! In fact, I would go so far as to say that we would consider you both honorary Aussies.
Gorgeous shots of the Bungle Bungles and the southern skies ❤ Sanger = sandwich. Banger = sausage. Makes perfect sense 😛😅 Outback food prices are outrageous bc of transport costs and the fact that if there's only one shop of its type, they can charge what they like. And I'm telling you guys, ya need to apply for working holiday visas as a way to stay here longer. If Halls Creek wants you, other places will too 😊
Hahaha “what do the people want” me “for you to wear boots” Haha . You do such a great job! Such good info and beautiful photography of our Australia. Thank you 🙏🏻. I also loved that you remembered how you felt when you went Uluṟu. Thank you.
Nice to see Midnight Oil playing on the radio there. ^^ Also, a mechanic (of many various sorts, like motor, diesel, air conditioning) is on the skilled jobs list. Get that lady to sponsor you. If you're willing to work in the outback, you'd probably get a job in no time. And, Ahahahahaha, that subscribe was hilarious.
7:50 I love the fact that you must have gone back and done this crossing at least twice to get the camera shots, and the drone shots are as always top notch! 👏👏👏
Luna did so good! Mazda definitely getting their money's worth with you guys. What a gorgeous video! I was so jealous I wasn't in the car for all those water crossings, it looked like so much fun.
Literally could not stop smiling with happiness the whole way through this episode. I love our Aus so much and it’s so very special to see how much you are loving it too ❤❤❤❤❤
@travelgirl747 so much diversity in a country hey? :) I’ve lived in a couple of states in Australia and it’s normal to hear hey at the end of sentences, but I’m sure it’s not popular in all areas, just like how I’ve never heard anyone say sanger or snag. One things for certain on their comments is aussies sure do like to talk about their way of saying things 😂
@ABC-jt7ep l had a NZ boyfriend years ago. Only time l've heard "hey" on they end of a sentence. But Sanga and Snag, all the time. Especially at the Bunnings Snag Stalls
You two sure do it all proper like. Fun to watch. Remember if you come to a river or creek crossing always look at the other bank for wet tyre marks that indicate that others have successfully crossed.either that or look for car roofs sticking up out of the water.
I've lived in Australia all my life and never seen such beauty as you guys have shown I'm loving following your journey, the drone shots are fantastic, thanks guys
Great video as usual our intrepid adventurers 😊🏆, I know I sound like a broken record, but the more I see you in Luna , the Mazda BT50 , I want one . Dual cabs are such a versatile and practical vehicle. The chasm looked very interesting in that by the look of it ( at least on my telly ) , the rocks in wall looked like they had been river smoothed , on the ground too, maybe that whole area was under water at some stage ? On the cold temperature , I’m a bit of a cold fish too😊, I feel the cold , in my neck of the woods Melbourne north overnight it was 1 Celsius …. Omg I hate winter in Melbourne 😂.
The Bungle Bungles are amazing and is unique to Australia. You videos lately are remote and you experienced places that not many people would . I absolutely loved it !!
I know our country is pretty amazing, but man, this part is stunning. Thank you for sharing with us, you two. I think Repco should close up shop and run, lol.
OK..my favourite video so far this journey guys :) Still amazed at you wearing sandals !! OMG what would Aussie trekkers be thinking lol Great drone work (again) showing creek crossings and emphasising the area of the Bungles. Mazda will be pleased to see how Luna is being driven so well by you both and I'm sure Repco will give you a refund or upgrade on the defunct air compressor now you've mentioned them in this having nearly 77K Subscribers!!.:) Your trip reminded me why I didn't take my Toyota Altise on that road! Looking forward to your Lake Argyle and Ord River experience and Kununurra. Happy Trails :)
Absolutely stunning. Loving the integration of your drone footage, it really is next level. And as for the flies tip in the bloopers, you are welcome 😉😊😘
You guys are far too cute with your fun and endings to clips. I love how caring you are of each others feelings and the serious, generous way you appreciate sacred places in nature. Love love love ❤️ ❤❤ this clip and would love to go there one day. #TourismWA must be so delighted with your representation of the #BungleBungles
Red sausages are either Frankfurts or Hot Dogs, but more likely Frankfurts. Tia, if you’re lactose intolerant, buy some rolled oats and you can have oat milk every day and enjoy the soaked oats as well! 😋🥰 Hmmm, don’t be surprised if a future Mazda is called the Mazda Luna! 😜👍🇦🇺
Songs for your trip: Moments - Hollow Coves Blessings - Hollow Coves Storm Boy - Xavier Rudd On the road - Hollow Coves Purple - Hollow Coves Milk and Honey - Hollow Coves Colours - Felipe Baldomir Laps around the sun - Ziggy Alberts All these songs will give you the feeling of Australia and the lifestyle you’ve chosen. Freedom, travel, nature, curiosity and peace. They are perfect for a road trip and if you listen to the lyrics you might even get a bit teary. I’m from Sweden but moved to Australia and every time I have someone visiting me I’ll put these songs on and they understand. You’re welcome ☺️😉🥹❤️
You will have to see if you can spot the southern cross in the night sky. if you don't know what it looks like, look at the stars on the Australian flag. once you can do that I will tell you how to find dew south from it. Great episode! P.S there are two bright stars that point to it.
Intense water crossings - expertly captured and Luna is a legend! Loving your artistic choices with the drone footage, cutaways and star lapse! Here’s hoping Repco makes good with your compressor - a reputable company that’s been around for a long while so I’m sure they will! Safe travels!
Great video. The time lapse was good to see. Tia made me laugh when going to the Bungle Bungles when she was talking about the water crossings , she said ‘we will cross that bridge when we come to it ‘. I didn’t think there would be bridges.
Your videos are always brilliant, but what's struck me recently is your use of music is stellar ... I'd love to know what you used for the sunset and the drone view of the Bungle Bungles, and then the star-lapse. Next level. So glad you're clearly loving the country.
Purnululu is indeed a magic place. We formed a stone choir in cathedral gorge by beating together 2 rocks around the gorge. Brilliant acoustics and we felt as if we were going back in time....😊
I loved this week's video. Australia has some unique spots to go to all over Australia. It is very nice use share it with your viewers around the world. I'm sure we all thank you for taking the time to do this. I have just bought myself a 42ft sailing boat. It is currently in Darwin. I will be in Darwin very soon to sail it back home . Over the top of Australia and down the Queensland coastline a bit below Cardwell . I am looking for crew for the trip.
Just something quick if your walking through bush land anywhere good idea to grab a stick while walking hitting the grass and ground so if there are any snakes or anything it usually scares them away and leaves you alone as well just a tip
I love your review on repco website 😂. I would have done the same. that's garbage. I just cracked up looking your compressor online, seeing two reviews, and one of them is your exact description. Gave me a laugh for the day. (Sorry, it's at your expense though)
Love, love, love this series guys, definitely one of your best! We literally did the same road trip through WA and the top end a few years back, so watching this is bringing up so many amazing memories ……. thankyou! The Bungle Bungles 👍🏼 definitely one of the top highlights of our trip, and that star trail imagery was the best! Nothing quite like our Outback sky. Thankyou Cheveyo and Tia for doing such an incredible job showcasing our beautiful country, so proud to call Australia 🇦🇺 home. ❤❤
Yep Tia at the age of 55 I did a 4 x 4 driving course. Much more fun driving, having a steering wheel to hold onto also makes the ride smoother. When leaving a water crossing please stop at the edge and let the water drain from the car. Stops erosion on the road. Loving this trip.
Love the night sky in Central Australia, camping out in the Western Macdonald Ranges. Lived in Alice Springs 12 years, member of Alice Springs Field Naturalists Club
The star laps was awesome Cheveyo and Congratulation on 80k🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I Feel like it was just yesterday that you had 2k followers, and I was lucky to be one of them, I hope you don't forget about us when you become celebrities😘 Ps. your drone game has gotten unbelievably good! You even put the right amount of drone time in the video, not too long to get boring or too short to miss stuff. Lastly, the nighttime drone shot behind the car was so brave to do it, and I'm assuming Tia was behind it so, great job Tia. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Never forgetting about the OG people watching! And thank you very much about the drone! We try to hit that balance because I know what you mean about the really long drone montages getting boring 😅
About 10 years ago I bought a good Bontrager bike pump on sale at my local bike store. I've never had to look for a gas station with pumps ever again, or mess around with the slow electric pump that came with my car or take the wheels off my bikes and take them to a gas station again. It takes some elbow grease (about 120 pumps from 20psi to 38psi in a car tire) but it is so worth it and only strengthens my triceps. Analog works baby.
I've been to the Bungles Bungles and taken a helicopter flight over the area. I'm fascinated by the scenery, the rock formations. It'a a pity you've traveled so far but failed to fly drone over the majestic Bunglees Bungles.
Sanger is a sandwich , snag is a sausage , put them together and you have a snag sanger .
And what they picked up were savs. Savaloys.
We call those frankfurts in NSW
@Scott-Inc. yeh we make hot dogs most days in my house but we use Frankfurts from the deli or Woolies to make the hot dogs.
@Scott-Inc. I would try one of those for sure , can't say I've ever noticed it on the menu in Qld takeaways but I'll look for it in future.
@Scott-Inc. Haha - Nick is a good friend of mine. My channel has always promoted Australian music.

Hey Trudi. My dad has owned five new Mazda's over many years, (the 1st was a 1979 626) and I've owned an RX3 and an RX7 and still own my gorgeous MX5. Funny enough I just bought my daughter a silver CX5 Akera because I wanted her in a reliable safe car. Zoom, Zoom! 🥰🥰
P.S. I think Mazda should donate the car to our fantastic travelers and sponsor them citizenship as product promoters. Cheers, and be well. 😊
@@chrisgregory4796 Hi Chris. Love the comment. Back in the mid-seventies five of us teenage idiots drove a 1966 Holden HR wagon around Aus, back when there was very little tarmac, just endless corrugations and red dust. We fitted the beast with twin gearboxes, the std three-on-the-tree coupled to a four-on-the-floor Aussie box with a shortened t/shaft which gave us 12 forward gears and 3 in reverse. This allowed 3 lower gears than 1st for climbing sand dunes. It was fitted with H/Duty springs, big off-road tires (three spares on the roof rack) and a bull bar. It looked like something out of Mad Max. Did the trip without a mechanical failure but blew six tires. Fun times indeed. Cheers. 😁
I hope Mazda are watching this!
They better be, they provided the BT-50!
@@RobertJW This is a great practical review of the capabilities of this vehicle
Of course they are!
Of course they are. It's an investment for them, so they would want to know how their investment is going.
In order to make this Epic Driving Experience across our great land even more memorable, it would behoove MAZDA to Gift them the damn Ute. At the very least.
The language of snag: A "snag" is just a sausage, more specifically it's usually a beef sausage but it could be other meat. A "sanger" is a sandwich of any type. And a sandwich is something made with sliced bread. Now the basics of life are clear.
A "sausage sandwich" or "sausage sanger" or "snag sanger" can only be a sausage wrapped in a slice of bread or between slices of bread. You put it in a long bread roll here and it would normally be called a "hot dog" but if you wanted a more American style hot dog you'd buy saveloy sausages, which are like frankfurters but bigger.
I didn't know that I wanted a Star Lapse...but I'm glad you did one. Nice to see some Midnight Oil playing. Best video I've seen of the Bungle Bungles...I didn't know it was so far off the main road and that there are so many water crossings.
Just another great video.
Epic episode. Beautifully filmed.
I love the way you guys seem to take everything in your stride. Awesome ambassadors for the Australian Outback...............Safe travels
YOUR BEST YET! Astonishing video footage. That star lapse...no words. Safe travels as always!
Rotisserie 😂😂😂😂😂 Love it. Thankyou for showing the Bungle Bungles. Lovely spot.
I hate to say it Chev but you're turning into an Aussie, right at the end you said "there's a servo down the road". Good man!
Thanks for showing such an incredible landscape and unreal video shots.
Also to prevent an expensive collision - if a kangaroo jumps across in front of your vehicle as at 9:52 - immediately look for a second one that may be following.
very important point...this is so true...usually the second roo gets hit not the one you just saw bouncing across the road
This ! My step dad always told me "where there is 1, there is 2. That saying goes thru my head everytime I see one! Lol
@@shannonfriedel7101 A wise man 🤗
@@Oscmil he was.
This is your finest vid.❤ Everything, the drone shots, photography, even the sounds of the outback ... amazing & the soundtrack etc congrats!!
Thank you so much 😊😭
I’m so glad you made it to the Bungles and you enjoyed.
Repco will replace it - but understand it is Chinese junk & they get hot pretty quick. The twin pistons models work better as pump more volume/air up faster. The night sky up there is majestic for sure due to air purity & no man made light interference. Great vlog!! Are you exploring the Ord River
So funny seeing the opposites: Cheveyo being excited about the water crossings & Tia looking quite nervous 😂😂 - Tia, blueberry got you through your last trip, Luna is newer & better (sorry blueberry) - have faith ❤️ (BTW - looked like a whole lot of fun to me!) 7:29
I am with Tia on this one! I get nervous with roads full of pot holes, let along crossing a river! :D My car is also a little 25 year old hatch though :P
Interesting that you commented on the palm trees in the secluded gorge.
Some years ago a prehistoric tree was discovered in another secluded gorge about 200 miles west of Sydney. It was called the Wollemi Pine and was thought to be extinct. Following the discovery the location was kept publicly secret until enough seeds were collected to propagate them. Now the gorge has been named Wollemi Gorge.
You can actually buy the tree in retail outlets now for a few hundred dollars. ( a living fossil )
19:49 Props to both of you. Tia for mastering the water crossing and Cheveyo for doing both the drone and interior recording at the same time! :D
We like stars too, but shoes! 😂 Good to know I am not the only one to mention the lack of shoes.
Rotisserie all the way. Men tend to run hot. I always found my hubby to be a great foot warmer.
That would give me claustrophobia, the rock walls being so close, but it is gorgeous.
Hey the star lapse!!! I asked for it in one of your prior episodes!!! Thank you for doing that, that's awesome! one of my favourite epi. gazing at the stars for me grounds me the insignificance of whatever all this is, and just how lucky we all really are!!!
Great choice to not use music over the first few shots of the Bungle Bungles, and then a great choice of music for the scene later.
P.S. To see you two young Americans enjoying the Aussie outback and feeling the spirituality of the natural places gives me hope for the future.
What an incredible location. That natural cathedral was insane. Your Australian drone vistas are so epic they are the best I've seen ❤
Great trip and loved to revisit the Bungles we did coach trip and helicopter fantastic place, great drone filming a great way to see a very different view we never see. You are lucky to also travel in good weather but after rain adds great beauty to this usually dry area love your enthusiasm and enjoyment travel safe ❤😊
Really appreciate the camera work you did to show us the river crossings .
Thank you! I feel I kinda botched the one where Tia crossed but I’m glad to hear people enjoyed it 😅
@@OnePackWanderers I didn't notice anything out of place - perfection is a goal not a measure. We are fully invested in your adventure so quit worrying - she'll be jake
Nothing better than Midnight Oil Diesel and dust album in the outback. Glad you had beds are burning playing even though another sound track was playing at the time. Keep up the good work
You're wonderful people. Great episode, guys.
The Star Lapse was brilliant. ❤ 14:50
PS Kununurra is pronounced Kun (rhymes with Bun)-un-are-a.
Doesn’t the Kimberley feel Ike Gods own Country?
Oh, and there is another pretty gorge at El Questro Station called Emma Gorge about 85 kms from Kununurra that you may appreciate. Lake Argyle is lovely, too. We were there in 2000, and had a small child, were camping in a camper trailer, and did a great tour on a sea plane, which flew close to the old Argyle Diamond mine (which was the biggest producer of diamonds in the world including of pink diamonds, but closed in 2020) and over the Bungle Bungles, came back and took a boat cruise on Lake Argyle, and then caught a bus back to Kununurra. It was magical. WA is my home State. I truely love all of it. It doesn't normally get so much love as you show for her. Thank you.
"Like a temple" ❤. And those drone shots WOW!
Wow the drone shots, star lapse and the really cool shots you got of Luna going through that deep water. This video is next level!
Loving every bit of your Aussie tour. And your becoming Aussies with every day here lol. Your almost ready for "The castle" ( movie) where you will get the Aussie slang and Aussie vibe
Hi Tia and Cheveyo. No outback adventure is worth the trip until something breaks down. And old trick I used to use is to inflate the spare tyre to 100 psi. Then carry a tyre infatuation hose with a valve and pressure meter on one end. And a screw on tyre valve fitting on the other. Then just top the other tyres to required pressure from the spare when you come off the track and back on the bitumen. It's cheaper than those compressors, and has no moving parts.
I’m curious if doing this has ever destroyed your spare, since most light vehicle tires have a max PSI rating well below 100? Luna’s tires for example aren’t supposed to be aired above 44 PSI.
I do think your strategy is interesting though 🤔
I was driving an old school Toyota Land Cruiser with light truck tyres at the time. So I got away with it.
Nice. I’ll definitely keep this in mind in the future, it’s an ingenious solution!
Really liked this video. It brought back memories of the Bungle Bungles when we went there years ago. Crossing streams and rough roads is quite satisfying when safely done and you can feel very pleased with what you achieved. I know I was surprised about what we did. The Repco compressor was a sad thing to happen. We used a Black Max for our travels and we still have it and it never let us down. But in those days, they were made in Australia, I think. I also think that everyone who watches your videos would support any application for citizenship!! In fact, I would go so far as to say that we would consider you both honorary Aussies.
Always a good policy to walk your water crossings before going through. Sometimes they can look shallow but could be rutted or deep
Gorgeous shots of the Bungle Bungles and the southern skies ❤ Sanger = sandwich. Banger = sausage. Makes perfect sense 😛😅 Outback food prices are outrageous bc of transport costs and the fact that if there's only one shop of its type, they can charge what they like. And I'm telling you guys, ya need to apply for working holiday visas as a way to stay here longer. If Halls Creek wants you, other places will too 😊
You guys are doing an amazing ad for Mazda. I’m definitely considering this as our next Ute! Nice one!
Im actually googling Mazda BT50 after watching these vids and that's something I would not have done.
Hahaha “what do the people want” me “for you to wear boots” Haha . You do such a great job! Such good info and beautiful photography of our Australia. Thank you 🙏🏻. I also loved that you remembered how you felt when you went Uluṟu. Thank you.
Nice to see Midnight Oil playing on the radio there. ^^
Also, a mechanic (of many various sorts, like motor, diesel, air conditioning) is on the skilled jobs list. Get that lady to sponsor you. If you're willing to work in the outback, you'd probably get a job in no time.
And, Ahahahahaha, that subscribe was hilarious.
7:50 I love the fact that you must have gone back and done this crossing at least twice to get the camera shots, and the drone shots are as always top notch! 👏👏👏
I was thinking the same. The average person wouldn't even notice stuff like that.
Luna did so good! Mazda definitely getting their money's worth with you guys. What a gorgeous video! I was so jealous I wasn't in the car for all those water crossings, it looked like so much fun.
Literally could not stop smiling with happiness the whole way through this episode. I love our Aus so much and it’s so very special to see how much you are loving it too ❤❤❤❤❤
Have to say this series is fantastic. Yeah, sausage is snag. Sanger is a sandwich. I love the way you said "Servo." Yr one of us now!
I personally say sausage and sandwich and i’m Australian. I should really use Aussie slang hey? At least I say hey and reckon a lot 😆
@ABC-jt7ep "hey" is more a NZ thing. I never say it. I do say " reckon" a whole lot.
@travelgirl747 so much diversity in a country hey? :) I’ve lived in a couple of states in Australia and it’s normal to hear hey at the end of sentences, but I’m sure it’s not popular in all areas, just like how I’ve never heard anyone say sanger or snag. One things for certain on their comments is aussies sure do like to talk about their way of saying things 😂
@ABC-jt7ep l had a NZ boyfriend years ago. Only time l've heard "hey" on they end of a sentence. But Sanga and Snag, all the time. Especially at the Bunnings Snag Stalls
Yes.....I spotted Midnight Oil. !!! .... Well, if Purnululu wasn't on your bucket list before, you can tick it off now !!
your love "echoed" through the ages , another great adventure , thanks for the entertainment .
Once again thanks for a wonderful video. You’re taking us older folk places we will never see. You’re such a great couple. 😊
You two sure do it all proper like. Fun to watch. Remember if you come to a river or creek crossing always look at the other bank for wet tyre marks that indicate that others have successfully crossed.either that or look for car roofs sticking up out of the water.
I've lived in Australia all my life and never seen such beauty as you guys have shown I'm loving following your journey, the drone shots are fantastic, thanks guys
Great video as usual our intrepid adventurers 😊🏆, I know I sound like a broken record, but the more I see you in Luna , the Mazda BT50 , I want one . Dual cabs are such a versatile and practical vehicle.
The chasm looked very interesting in that by the look of it ( at least on my telly ) , the rocks in wall looked like they had been river smoothed , on the ground too, maybe that whole area was under water at some stage ?
On the cold temperature , I’m a bit of a cold fish too😊, I feel the cold , in my neck of the woods Melbourne north overnight it was 1 Celsius …. Omg I hate winter in Melbourne 😂.
The Bungle Bungles are amazing and is unique to Australia. You videos lately are remote and you experienced places that not many people would . I absolutely loved it !!
I know our country is pretty amazing, but man, this part is stunning. Thank you for sharing with us, you two. I think Repco should close up shop and run, lol.
OK..my favourite video so far this journey guys :) Still amazed at you wearing sandals !! OMG what would Aussie trekkers be thinking lol Great drone work (again) showing creek crossings and emphasising the area of the Bungles. Mazda will be pleased to see how Luna is being driven so well by you both and I'm sure Repco will give you a refund or upgrade on the defunct air compressor now you've mentioned them in this having nearly 77K Subscribers!!.:) Your trip reminded me why I didn't take my Toyota Altise on that road! Looking forward to your Lake Argyle and Ord River experience and Kununurra. Happy Trails :)
Absolutely stunning. Loving the integration of your drone footage, it really is next level. And as for the flies tip in the bloopers, you are welcome 😉😊😘
Thank you for that tip!
I re watched this episode and didn't notice Tia's lung laugh when she drove across the waterway but it was crossing over a anxiety level well done Tia
You guys are far too cute with your fun and endings to clips. I love how caring you are of each others feelings and the serious, generous way you appreciate sacred places in nature. Love love love ❤️ ❤❤ this clip and would love to go there one day. #TourismWA must be so delighted with your representation of the #BungleBungles
Red sausages are either Frankfurts or Hot Dogs, but more likely Frankfurts. Tia, if you’re lactose intolerant, buy some rolled oats and you can have oat milk every day and enjoy the soaked oats as well! 😋🥰
Hmmm, don’t be surprised if a future Mazda is called the Mazda Luna! 😜👍🇦🇺

The diversity of landscapes in Western Australia is truly incredible
I'd forgotten all about the "CU in the NT" tourism campaign until I saw the stickers on that ute at 1:35.
You will have to see if you can spot the southern cross in the night sky. if you don't know what it looks like, look at the stars on the Australian flag. once you can do that I will tell you how to find dew south from it. Great episode! P.S there are two bright stars that point to it.
Intense water crossings - expertly captured and Luna is a legend!
Loving your artistic choices with the drone footage, cutaways and star lapse!
Here’s hoping Repco makes good with your compressor - a reputable company that’s been around for a long while so I’m sure they will!
Safe travels!
Those water crossings were very easy compared to some in the Top End😊
Great video. The time lapse was good to see. Tia made me laugh when going to the Bungle Bungles when she was talking about the water crossings , she said ‘we will cross that bridge when we come to it ‘. I didn’t think there would be bridges.
Your videos are always brilliant, but what's struck me recently is your use of music is stellar ... I'd love to know what you used for the sunset and the drone view of the Bungle Bungles, and then the star-lapse. Next level. So glad you're clearly loving the country.
This is your best series by far. Thanks for taking us on your journey and keeping it real.
Purnululu is indeed a magic place. We formed a stone choir in cathedral gorge by beating together 2 rocks around the gorge. Brilliant acoustics and we felt as if we were going back in time....😊
I have no words for how amazing this video is, your work is next level and best footage ever! Love your cathedral gorge kiss. ❣
I loved this week's video. Australia has some unique spots to go to all over Australia. It is very nice use share it with your viewers around the world. I'm sure we all thank you for taking the time to do this. I have just bought myself a 42ft sailing boat. It is currently in Darwin. I will be in Darwin very soon to sail it back home . Over the top of Australia and down the Queensland coastline a bit below Cardwell . I am looking for crew for the trip.
Just something quick if your walking through bush land anywhere good idea to grab a stick while walking hitting the grass and ground so if there are any snakes or anything it usually scares them away and leaves you alone as well just a tip
I love your review on repco website 😂. I would have done the same. that's garbage.
I just cracked up looking your compressor online, seeing two reviews, and one of them is your exact description. Gave me a laugh for the day. (Sorry, it's at your expense though)
you guys are the best..Happy Aussie 4th of July! Im gonna suck on a Chilli Dog, watch Happy Days and listen to some Jelly Roll
Such a loving couple, he begin very supportive of her. Thank you for showing me a bit of Australia that I will never get to see for myself.
Love, love, love this series guys, definitely one of your best! We literally did the same road trip through WA and the top end a few years back, so watching this is bringing up so many amazing memories ……. thankyou! The Bungle Bungles 👍🏼 definitely one of the top highlights of our trip, and that star trail imagery was the best! Nothing quite like our Outback sky. Thankyou Cheveyo and Tia for doing such an incredible job showcasing our beautiful country, so proud to call Australia 🇦🇺 home. ❤❤
Thank you so much 😊
Best Tia and Cheveyo reversal ending ever!!! I busted out laughing so hard when Cheveyo said subscribe 🤣🤣🤣
Yes! Forget the the time lapse star photos. I've been waiting for another episode of Air Compressor Chronicles!
Thanks for the star-lapse!! I have spent very little time in the southern hemisphere so the stars are so unfamiliar! So cool. Happy Travels
20:54 REPCO is an abbreviation, which is interpretated in Australia as "Reasonably Exact Part, Comes Off".
Yep Tia at the age of 55 I did a 4 x 4 driving course. Much more fun driving, having a steering wheel to hold onto also makes the ride smoother. When leaving a water crossing please stop at the edge and let the water drain from the car. Stops erosion on the road. Loving this trip.
Good tip on stopping to let the water drain. That road might look very different if everyone did that!

The star laps was awesome Cheveyo and Congratulation on 80k🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I Feel like it was just yesterday that you had 2k followers, and I was lucky to be one of them, I hope you don't forget about us when you become celebrities😘
Ps. your drone game has gotten unbelievably good! You even put the right amount of drone time in the video, not too long to get boring or too short to miss stuff. Lastly, the nighttime drone shot behind the car was so brave to do it, and I'm assuming Tia was behind it so, great job Tia. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Never forgetting about the OG people watching! And thank you very much about the drone! We try to hit that balance because I know what you mean about the really long drone montages getting boring 😅
About 10 years ago I bought a good Bontrager bike pump on sale at my local bike store. I've never had to look for a gas station with pumps ever again, or mess around with the slow electric pump that came with my car or take the wheels off my bikes and take them to a gas station again. It takes some elbow grease (about 120 pumps from 20psi to 38psi in a car tire) but it is so worth it and only strengthens my triceps. Analog works baby.
I really like this solution to be honest. 120 pumps isn’t terrible for a car tire.
Great work guys - and really loved the star lapse!!
Thank you for sharing. You guys are so blessed in seeing our amazing country ❤
I've been to the Bungles Bungles and taken a helicopter flight over the area. I'm fascinated by the scenery, the rock formations. It'a a pity you've traveled so far but failed to fly drone over the majestic Bunglees Bungles.
Thankyou you two beautiful people for showing me parts of my country of which I would have never have been able to see
