In case no one else has said this, stay away from riverbanks. Saltwater crocs may be in any body of water. They are big and aggressive and REAL. Further north they are also in the sea. Take care.
@@MysticCoderthere is nothing at the Big Pineapple anymore just the Pineapple , so dont know why they would want to go there , its sad to see from what it used to be
We do plan and we were aware of the pineapple and banana. It’s just I think a bunch of people got the impression, from the potato video, that we actually intended to see ALL the big things 😂 That would take about five months by itself, just seeing one per day. Also I’m pretty sure Tia finds it more ‘interesting’ when the Big Thing is absurd/lame 😂🤣
The signs are there to keep you alive. To remind you to rest...etc you might start seeing signs with trivia questions on them as well and then down the road an answer to the question. This is to keep you entertained and awake ...when youre only seeing vast distance of nothingness between places. Theyre not passive aggressive, they are there to help you stay alert. Fatigue driving long distance can be fatal, so where just keeping you safe 😊 Ps the signs themselves are like the everyday aussies... Straight to the point and honest.
Wow, i've lived in Australia my whole life (better part of 40 years), even travelled for work to most cities with a commercial airport, and you both have seen so much more of this land than I ever have. I envy you both in the nicest way. I'm loving the Australia series. I started watching from Canberra, but have gone back and watched from day one in Australia. Then have slowly been making my way back through all your videos. Went to tell my 75 year old Father about your channel, AND HE ALREADY DONE THE SAME AS ME! he found you both on your Canberra video, then went back to watch all your older stuff too! Keep em coming and Safe Travels!
@@ianmontgomery7534I'm a Canadian immigrant in Australia and have seen everything in Australia and almost nothing in Canada. Flights were too expensive, pay was too low, and only 10 days of time off per year. I make double in Oz.
Just so we are clear, the Best thing about your channel is the both of You! Any fancy gear you add only makes it slicker in production value, not the likability factor. But yes, the Drone is appreciated, well done!

Hi there guys, it has probably been mentioned earlier but you are doing what is colloquially known as the "big lap", the further north and then west you go you will notice many caravans and motor homes on your travels. The big lap is typically undertaken by retirees as the retirement gift to themselves, the are known as grey nomads crossing the north in winter to avoid the cyclone season which is in summer. Keep exploring and enjoying yourselves. Gary
G'day Tia and Cheveyo! A Canberra based uni student here that found your channel after the video you put up about our capital city - loved the perspective you guys had so naturally I binge watched your entire Australia trip thus far 😂 So glad to see you guys pick up a drone and start learning to fly and film with it - I'd been waiting to see a drone shot all across your Great Ocean Road series and I'm so glad you bit the bullet 😁 One word of advice I've picked up through years of flying though - be careful with the Australian Drone laws! CASA (the civil aviation safety authority) goes mental if you break the rules (flying over 120m, within 5.5km of airports, in NSW national parks without a permit etc) so go and look them up (and I highly suggest you get the OpenSky or Ok2Fly apps which tell you where you can and cannot fly). Since you are in QLD (Queensland) though, unlike NSW the national parks don't require permits to fly so go for your life! With that in mind I can't wait to see what you guys get up to next! Hope to see you rock up to the Blue Mountains after you've completed the Great Lap - they're where I grew up and they are absolutely stunning. Cheers, Pete
You will generally find Huntsmen in the eaves of a roof or if they get inside in the corners of ceilings. The journey from Mount Isa across to the Stuart Highway is pretty desolate. Remember, in the NT do not loiter near the banks of rivers and coastal shoreline...there are a lot of crocodiles and you could run the risk of being eaten. My father-in-law's favourite holiday spot is Broome in Western Australia
Huntsman spiders live in most of the country including many times in my house in Melbourne lol. But the density and variety of bugs and insects does increase dramatically as you head into FNQ. Keep a watch out for the orb weaver spiders, they’re huge and beautiful and also pretty harmless!
Now that winter has arrived here in Adelaide my resident Huntsman spider sits almost permanently on my modem where its nice and warm , we joke that it thinks it's at the disco !
Yeah, I'm in Sydney and I named my huntsman Fred (have no idea why; he/she just looks like a Fred). Fred spends most of the time in my kitchen and adjoining loungeroom but occasionally does venture into the bedroom, bathroom & other parts of the house. Ever since Fred moved in last summer I've hardly seen a mosquito/fly/cockroach etc inside at all (if I do spot one they never seem to last long) so he's welcome to stay as long as he likes. Being winter here now, he seems to hang out behind my fridge a fair bit near the warm compressor; had to pull the fridge out last week to retrieve a tub of vitamins that had fallen down behind and there Fred was, just chillin'.
Nothing to worry about with huntsman spiders, I had one at my place who had lost a leg and I called him Septimius. They do a good job at keeping other more annoying insects under control
G'day guys... yes, the northern crossing back to the north west will be more of a challenge for Blueberry as I understand it. You will see quite a few 4 wheel drive vehicles in the outback and FNQ (far north Queensland). But you are going north at a good time as the weather should be dry. The summer up north is hot and very wet later in the year. Safe travels. By the way, love the drone pics.... you have a great pilot !!
I love Tia's alarming question while in the well manicured empty park, "Oh my god! Are we starting to go into bug territory?" Yes you are! Love watch your travels. You present well and look like your having a great time. Glad to see its warmer for you up there.
I'm glad y'all took the plunge and got a drone when the time was right for y'all. I'm sure it will keep taking your content higher and higher, literally. 😉
I also love getting complimentary breakfast with a stay. To me, when it's Carrie and I traveling, it's the equivalent of getting an $80 hotel for $60, or whatever, because you don't have an additional expense of breakfast for two to account for.
Today I was on a boat trip to Kalymnos, a Greek island, and we saw a lot of free-living dolphins jumping out of the water in front of the ship, what great animals❤
Omg that's amazing! My family come from Kos Island and my Auntie is a nun on Kalymnos in Agios Katerina to be exact. But l live in Melbourne. Sorry, just had to mention it 😊
Thank you Tia - fill as much of your vlogs with as many Aussie "BIG" things as you can - love your humour, and the long-suffering looks that Chev gives you. Thank you - I now have a huge grin on my chops! 😂😁 Chev - if you are doing the full round trip of Oz, I'm sorry / not sorry, because there's plenty more "BIG" things on your path. Sorry because it's not your cuppa, but not sorry because you've got a great sense of humour and are the champ at rolling with the punches! So glad you both love our little island nation - it sure is one sweet deal to live here - born / raised / emigrate, etc doesn't matter ... Oz rocks!😊👍
Thank you for taking us to Tin Can Bay! We were just up there, my parents have lived there since 1997. Unfortunately my Mum just passed away on Saturday June 17 😢. This was an emotional video for me to watch.
best place to see dolphins is Monkey Mia in north Western Australia, you can hand-feed them (under park ranger supervision) in ankle-deep water, amazing experience. It's become a research hub for dolphin scientists around the world, they've been doing this since i think the 60s when fishermen on boats bringing in their catches would keep feeding them. But this is a similar experience! btw they only provide the dolphins with approx 1/3rd of their daily requirements, ensuring the dolphins still need to remain 'wild' and go hunt fish normally 👍
I had an uncle who lived at Airlie Beach. Had had the coolest job servicing the radio beacons on the islands out around the reef. He and my aunt Gina would get on their boat and sail off for a couple of weeks at time . What a cool job.
Guys, seriously, you need to be VERY careful and prepared when traveling from QLD to the NT. It is VERY desolate, remote, and rugged. PLEASE plan ahead and be SAFE. This country is absolutely NO JOKE when on the road.
I was thinking they need to careful with their equipment too the further north they get. It might be a big temptation for some teenagers with nothing else to do.
Have you actually done that trip from Cairns to Darwin!? It's not the bloody Sahara desert and its not desolate! Fellow Australians ACTUALLY live there. It is sealed all the way and there are multiple towns all the way; not to mention the thousands of grey nomads traversing northern Australia during the winter.
@@PeteV.53yeah but it they get off that road and explore some gravel tracks it can be dangerous. Plenty of unprepared people have been caught out in the outback and paid the price. It's not an unreasonable piece of advice to carry a Jerry can of water,fuel and spare food. Even if it's just packets of noodles,and tins of food
Another great video! You talked about the huntsman spiders while you stood outside a "long drop" or "thunder box" (outside toilet). Careful at those redbacks etc will hang out around those and the seats....just have a look when you go in. 🕷🕸
Huntsmans are everywhere, but they're more active in Summer, so you won't see many at the moment. In nature they live under tree bark, so you'll find them in similar places like (in a car) under sun visors, in rear view mirrors, inside the door jams or (in a house) behind furniture, in curtains, linen cupboards, etc. Airlie Beach is pronounced like air-lee. I was honestly looking for flies near your mic's in that drone reveal shot, lol.
As someone who grew up in the rainforest up in far north Queensland I gotta say - make sure to check those rarely used outdoor toilets for snakes before sitting down!
I believe Blueberry deserves more screen time about how amazing she has been on your travels 😂 great choice in buying her! No doubt when you leave Australia you will miss her…..what a car 🎉🥰🇦🇺
Hi Tia and Cheveyo, just recently watch your video on your home town Sedona, what a lovely place to grow up. I think you might like some of the top of Western Australia it is similar. If you haven't got to Darwin yet, if you go to the Mindil Beach market (Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon) for food and the sunset, there is a stall there called Road Kill where you can try Kangaroo, Crocodile, Buffalo, Camel, etc. You should be OK travelling across the top at this time of the year (dry Season) there will be lots of tourist travelling the same roads. Love your work enjoy our beautiful Country. (lived in Humpty Doo, Darwin for 19+ years now Mildura, Vic.)
Hello you two lovelies! My partner and I have just spent the last few days binge watching your utterly delightful videos of touring Australia. We both love how comfortable and happy we feel while watching your travels. It is so nice to have your perspectives on our country and also see where you've been. We are travellers too..gypsies..living all over this big country..so seeing your journey has been a way of revisiting our travels and life styles in different cities.❤ We had a concert to perform last night and found your energies so happy ..so calming..so sweet..you helped keep us engaged and calm and after the concert, we are catching up with your last video to date. I also went swimming with dolphins in the wild a few years back but at a place called Tin Can Bay, where a dolphin befriended a dog and came each day to swim with her canine friend..this grew and became whispered about. When I went there, she brought her baby and I swam underwater with mother one side of me and baby on the other side. They were checking me out with their sonar. It was oh so special! I had just come from performing at the Whale and Dolphin festival..I felt so blessed. You are both so natural, kind and sweet. We are both glad we found your shares. We too both suffer from social anxiety yet push ourselves to perform our music..straight from the heart! Sometimes it is a challenge to find places where gentler music can feature. Thank you so, so much
How awesome to get to see and feed dolphins in a natural habitat. Very cool find! LoL I herd the buzzing, I was like the flies there must be horrible, how can they stand there talking so calmly. Congratulations on the drone! Australia has some beautiful country side. I don't think I'd want to build a monument to what could considered a failure, but gotta respect how they own it 👍👍
Hey guys, you missed out on seeing our Dolphins 🐬 in Western Australia 🇦🇺 up north at Monkey Mia, my children and I used to swim with them and saw so many new babies, the most that came in was 21 on one morning, they were unreal days, my kids loved holidays at Monkey Mia but sadly not the same anymore… keep on enjoying our sparse country, cheers 💕🇦🇺
You are in Air lee beach 🏝️ entry point to the Islands, maybe take an air water plane fly to each Island, lived in Cannonvale for awhile while on my holiday, have fun 🦭🦈🐬🐠 🥰👍
You've been in huntsman territory basically the whole trip, they live all over the place. You've probably been within a few feet of one multiple times already, without noticing (if they don't move they can be quite hard to spot in nature). They're not dangerous though. If you see one, don't panic -- you're vastly more likely to hurt yourself than it is to hurt you.
Congrats on the drone, guys. Can't wait for the drone shot of you driving the car, needs a little bit of practice, but I believe in you❤❤❤❤ also, the Big things adventure from Tia is always funny not to mention awesome!
I think I have been watching you for over a year now and all this time I thought I was subscribed cause your videos were always popping up in my feed, but then when you said "subscribe", i looked down and noticed I wasn't .... so now I am, thanks for making me check :)
Great videos! On the subject of eating bush turkeys: Put a big pot full of water on the boil, go out and catch the turkey and also locate a rock of the same size as the turkey. Place the rock and the turkey in the pot. Boil the turkey until the rock goes soft. Throw the turkey away and eat the rock. :)
Loving your adventures. First fell upon you both when you were in Adelaide ( my home town). I back tracked to your arrival in Perth and have been watching you ever since. When time allows I have been watching your previous travels around the world. You are responsible for putting climbing Mt Kosciusko on my bucket list.
Thank you both for the lovely tour of our country. Please beware of one bug in particular: mosquitoes will potentially ruin your trip. Use the repellent to avoid Ross River Virus, Barmah River Virus, others.. Note some of these are prevalent south as well as north, such as RRV; a myth that it is only tropical. Many other gotchas as you travel across the top as many are saying here so please stay safe and enjoy!
Northern Australia is a wild place, smaller towns fewer people but harsh conditions, get ready to camp alot more.... take supplies..... be careful of crocodiles
We are in Melbourne and Huntsmen live at our place.Every so often one will come inside the house.I catch them and return them to a dry, safe place outside.
They usually hang out on a wall or the ceiling and remain still.The trick is to step up on a chair, carefully approach, trap them under a large drinking glass, slide an envelope under the rim to secure the spider and carry him outside, where he will be safe.I will warn you, they know no fear and do have a habit of jumping on you, which does cause the heart to miss a beat.Down here, the spiders you need to be concerned about are Redbacks.They live under bark, sheets of tin etc.A good idea, when tidying up outside, is to wear garden gloves.Redbacks can kill, although we have only had one fatality in the last seventy years.Enjoy you holiday.
@@OnePackWanderersred back spiders and funnel web spiders are poisonous, and white tail spiders give a nasty bite and some people have a more extreme reaction to them, my cousin had lifelong skin problems after he got bitten by one. I’ve lived here my whole life and seen plenty of huntsmen’s and white tails. Only seen a couple of funnel webs and a handful of red backs.
The bush turkey as known in Queensland is not closely related to the American turkey at all. It is nominally a creature of the rainforest and scrub and the male can produce nesting mounds of over a metre tall and several metres in diameter made up of mostly composting vegetation. Many females can visit the nest in any one season, lay eggs and then maybe visit other males' nests later to lay more eggs. The females then usually take no further part in nesting or raising the chicks. The male uses the composting vegetation to provide the necessary heat for the eggs to hatch and spends most of his time watching over his clutch of eggs and adding or removing compost material to keep the eggs within the optimum temperature range. The bush turkey was considered to be close to extinction around the 1930s with the major losses of their habitat but have recovered their numbers to where they are no longer considered as a threatened species anymore. They have become very accustomed to living in suburban areas where they can be quite a menace and destructive to home gardens. Under Queensland laws they are protected and if anyone is prosecuted for endangering or harming a bush turkey they can be very heavily fined and spend up to two years in jail. As bush turkeys were a traditional food for the native people, Aboriginals are exempt from such laws and can hunt these birds as per their own customs and laws.
There throughout Sydney too only 20 mins from centre, mostly northern sydney where owners complain about their precious gardens being dug up. They were eaten during the depression and numbers dropped but have since regained. These are native birds and are a protected species.
I totally felt like you had loads of mozzies or flies around you at the beginning when you were talking 😂.. I was even feeling sorry for you 🤦🏼♀️… and I was like but I can’t see them ……then you revealed the drone 😂😂😂
Rockhampton and Airlie Beach, eh? You're really in the tropics now 😊 I lived in Townsville for several years. The tropical sun is very intense, so load up on hats & sunscreen! P.S. If I haven't said this already, Magnetic Island is a short catamaran ride from Townsville and is really gorgeous at this time of year 😊
My sister and her boyfriend did a Sydney to Perth trip around the top end on a motorcycle (with friends), I would assume it is far more risky now as far as isolation (less people), but the roads should be in better condition due to tourism! 🤔 (Your video footage and stories are much more interesting!) Make sure you have Aeroguard and Mosquito Nets! It Is comforting to have someone make and deliver you breakfast, it's a warm hug! I have bush turkeys in my backyard, we do not eat them! The Middle of the Road is safer! The Big Toad! 🐸 I am never working on a cane farm, ever!! Sleep well, drink lots of water, love your resourcefulness Tia! 😂👍
Great videos, a lot of fun to watch and very well shot. Winter is the best time of year to travel in north Qld. If you're planning to head over to the NT do a bit of reading beforehand regarding fuel, water and supplies needed (if you're heading off the main highway). As some areas are pretty remote, with poor roads, no gas stations and no mobile phone coverage. If you're driving through the more remote areas in the top end, make sure someone knows where you're going and your ETA, just to be on the safe side. And if you have car problems, stay with the car. People wandering off away from the car to look for help are usually the one's who end up in trouble in the desert.
Me being an Aussie, at first I thought you were in a swarm of flies or mozzies ... then I realised, you got a drone. I know Tin Can Bay well, I have done the Labour Day Weekend Trailer Boat Race from TCB to Hervey Bay in my younger days. The Great Sandy Strait between Fraser Island and the mainland is a beautiful part of the world. Woohoo, videos going up a notch from now on. 😀
When your up north in NT and WA make sure you pack extra water (2x10L jugs from Coles etc) and an extra 20L jerry can of fuel. Just in case. Rest stops and service stations are few and far between. You don't want to be caught stuck in the middle of nowhere.
You're safe. Huntsmans spiders are mostly found in and around the lower South east coast of Australia. But you have other buggers to worry about in the north. Do not go into any rivers or beaches in the northern territory under any circumstances unless you're with a local. There are crocodiles and box jelly fish in the water.
One thing to remember as you drive the 3 to 4 hours between major cities on the QLD coastline is... the beaches don't stop. Sure there's the tourist traps such as Airlie but the whole coast of Queensland is essentially one long 2500km stretch of wonderful beaches and may not have seen a person walking on them for weeks.
Only found your channel about a week ago - love your work! If you ever come through Rockhampton again we have a secret beach to show you, well off the beaten track. Also, we named our teardrop van Tia :)
Congrats on the drone purchase guys, should be awesome. Wow you guys are really blasting up the east coast really quickly. Don’t forget to stop and enjoy the destinations. Also, please be aware of crocodiles in waterways in northern Queensland and NT.
hey guys, just watched a couple of your videos, I have driven a lot of the same roads from the Vic Border up through NSW and Queensland and North to Far North Queensland, lived in Brisbane, London and Sydney. Love your relaxed and real approach to your trip, you are both very lucky to have each other to travel this wide sunburnt land and be able to share so many puns and smiles. Thanks some of us feel the need to get out there while enjoying your adventures. Wish you both well.
Wow, with a drone in your arsenal your videos' quality can only skyrocket. Australia truly is the place for great drone shots, its practically a condition of entry to be an aussie fishing youtuber.
The furthest north I have been in Australia was Shoal Water Bay training area. I cannot wait for your latest adventures to inspire me to do "the big lap" one day.
The drone will take you guys to the next level....Make sure you have plenty of provisions when you leave the coast and head for the Northern Territory.....it gets expensive out there !
The turkeys are actually brush turkeys but so many people call them bush turkeys that both names are now acceptable. We do not eat these turkeys (yes we eat turkeys but not these wild ones). They even hang out in my backyard in Sydney 😂
They are the enemy of home Gardners trying to garden on mulch and straw. The male builds the nest and the bigger the better to attract the female. Obviously, any gardens within Cooee ends up on his pile. Also he's the one who raises the young.
The other day I was trying to look up peewees in an Australian bird app. No soap. They were listed under their binomial name (which is obscure to me) and as “magpie-lark”. Peewees aren’t magpies. They aren’t larks. (In answer to the obvious question, they’re related to the flycatchers.) Nobody I know calls them “magpie-larks”. Nevertheless, according to the precriptivists, their official common name is “magpie-lark” and that’s the only correct English term for them. But really, their actual common name is “peewee”, because that’s what people call them. Around where I live _Alectura lathami_ are called “scrub turkeys”.
In the country it is quite normal practice to drive in the middle of the road if you have no one in front of you.... this is due to kangaroos jumping out into the road... it allows you to react either left or right to avoid hitting them. If you don't wish to follow.... just come up behind them and put your right indicator on... and they should pull over to the left.
First, it most definitely is not normal to 'practice' driving like a dick. And second, that's the Bruce Highway not some back country road. If you think that's ok then please hand in your licence.
Disagree. As a local from where they were driving at the time, that car would have annoyed locals too. Ive driven a lot of places in 'the country' and ive seen very few people drive like that, except for way out west and on some remote 4 W D roads.
Huntsman spiders live mostly on trees in gaps under the bark or in rock crevices that sort of thing. There’s a super-creepy spider that’s flat and pale that only lives under bark, you find it by stripping off bark, which on many eucalypts comes off in great sheets. First Nations and settlers used bark for cabins and roofing.
In Cairns go to Copperlode dam and film the drive, then Crystal Cascades and go for a swim in the clear water. Then Daintree Forrest but it is expensive.
Love the vibe of you two! Being an Aussie, it's great watching you enjoy our country. Tia, bush wees all the way. Even my kids know that it's bush wees when road tripping. Chev! Get a golf club for the cane toads! You will start enjoying them. As you head further north and then onto the west, keep enough water and food for a few days, just in case. Would hate for you to be stranded and on the news as another bunch of tourists gone missing!
Cheveyo, good job on the car wash, it's been proven in studies that cars run better when clean, also far more aerodynamic! And by the way, Huntsman Spiders are everywhere... there's on the wall behind you right now!
After Cairns you need to be careful with your car, if you breakdown between Cairns and back to Perth going the top end down you need a back up plan. The Australians watching will help if you need.
Now that you're travelling through more remote and potentially hazardous parts of the country I strongly urge you to swap your SIM cards to Telstra at your next opportunity - you'll get less data for your money, but the coverage in regional areas is orders of magnitude better, there are entire small country towns that only have Telstra service. You want to maximise your chances of having phone service in an emergency and nobody else has anything remotely comparable to their service once you're in the bush

Yeah, I'm in Sydney and I named my huntsman Fred (have no idea why; he/she just looks like a Fred). Fred spends most of the time in my kitchen and adjoining loungeroom but occasionally does venture into the bedroom, bathroom & other parts of the house. Ever since Fred moved in last summer I've hardly seen a mosquito/fly/cockroach etc inside at all (if I do spot one they never seem to last long) so he's welcome to stay as long as he likes. Being winter here now, he seems to hang out behind my fridge a fair bit near the warm compressor; had to pull the fridge out last week to retrieve a tub of vitamins that had fallen down behind and there Fred was, just chillin'.
I had a huge huntsman on the 6th floor of my inner city Melbourne apartment
Tia is simply, purely and endearingly adorable.
There needs to be a Tia’s Big Things t-shirt with all the big things you visit.
OnePackWonders brand T Shirt. With ALL the Ozzie Big Things.
Lol yes!! With her laughing 😂 Tia’s Travelling Treasures
Nothing to worry about with huntsman spiders, I had one at my place who had lost a leg and I called him Septimius. They do a good job at keeping other more annoying insects under control
G'day guys... yes, the northern crossing back to the north west will be more of a challenge for Blueberry as I understand it. You will see quite a few 4 wheel drive vehicles in the outback and FNQ (far north Queensland). But you are going north at a good time as the weather should be dry. The summer up north is hot and very wet later in the year. Safe travels. By the way, love the drone pics.... you have a great pilot !!
Not challenging at all. It's all major highways with plenty of traffic & places to stop. Blueberry will dit easily.
I love Tia's alarming question while in the well manicured empty park, "Oh my god! Are we starting to go into bug territory?"
Yes you are!
Love watch your travels. You present well and look like your having a great time.
Glad to see its warmer for you up there.
I'm glad y'all took the plunge and got a drone when the time was right for y'all. I'm sure it will keep taking your content higher and higher, literally. 😉
I also love getting complimentary breakfast with a stay. To me, when it's Carrie and I traveling, it's the equivalent of getting an $80 hotel for $60, or whatever, because you don't have an additional expense of breakfast for two to account for.
Exactly! When I see a $60 hotel with free breakfast it immediately stands out as a great deal!
Today I was on a boat trip to Kalymnos, a Greek island, and we saw a lot of free-living dolphins jumping out of the water in front of the ship, what great animals❤
That’s amazing 😎😍
Omg that's amazing! My family come from Kos Island and my Auntie is a nun on Kalymnos in Agios Katerina to be exact. But l live in Melbourne. Sorry, just had to mention it 😊
Dolphins swim in the river across the road from what was my office. Play all around the moored boats, slide up onto the beach from time to time
Kos..the only Greek island i had a holiday on!🎉
I was thinking that buzzing was intense. Then I noticed nobody had their arm out holding the camera.
Yeah, I just thought the flies were really bad.
I thought they were going to announce Tia was pregnant, or they’re moving to Oz, but was thinking wow, the flies are loud! 😄
Thank you Tia - fill as much of your vlogs with as many Aussie "BIG" things as you can - love your humour, and the long-suffering looks that Chev gives you. Thank you - I now have a huge grin on my chops! 😂😁
Chev - if you are doing the full round trip of Oz, I'm sorry / not sorry, because there's plenty more "BIG" things on your path. Sorry because it's not your cuppa, but not sorry because you've got a great sense of humour and are the champ at rolling with the punches!
So glad you both love our little island nation - it sure is one sweet deal to live here - born / raised / emigrate, etc doesn't matter ... Oz rocks!😊👍
Thank you for taking us to Tin Can Bay! We were just up there, my parents have lived there since 1997. Unfortunately my Mum just passed away on Saturday June 17 😢. This was an emotional video for me to watch.
So sorry for your loss 😢
Condolences to you & your family.
Nothing better than Tia n cheveyo on a saturday night !!!! Letsss goooo ❤❤
best place to see dolphins is Monkey Mia in north Western Australia, you can hand-feed them (under park ranger supervision) in ankle-deep water, amazing experience. It's become a research hub for dolphin scientists around the world, they've been doing this since i think the 60s when fishermen on boats bringing in their catches would keep feeding them. But this is a similar experience! btw they only provide the dolphins with approx 1/3rd of their daily requirements, ensuring the dolphins still need to remain 'wild' and go hunt fish normally 👍
I had an uncle who lived at Airlie Beach. Had had the coolest job servicing the radio beacons on the islands out around the reef. He and my aunt Gina would get on their boat and sail off for a couple of weeks at time . What a cool job.
Yea no kidding, that is an awesome job. I (Cheveyo) would quit traveling in a second for something as laid-back and self-directed as that.
Guys, seriously, you need to be VERY careful and prepared when traveling from QLD to the NT. It is VERY desolate, remote, and rugged. PLEASE plan ahead and be SAFE. This country is absolutely NO JOKE when on the road.
I was thinking they need to careful with their equipment too the further north they get. It might be a big temptation for some teenagers with nothing else to do.
Carry two jerry cans. One with fuel, one with drinking water.
Have you actually done that trip from Cairns to Darwin!? It's not the bloody Sahara desert and its not desolate! Fellow Australians ACTUALLY live there. It is sealed all the way and there are multiple towns all the way; not to mention the thousands of grey nomads traversing northern Australia during the winter.
If they stick with the sealed roads and main tourist spots, they’ll be fine.
@@PeteV.53yeah but it they get off that road and explore some gravel tracks it can be dangerous. Plenty of unprepared people have been caught out in the outback and paid the price. It's not an unreasonable piece of advice to carry a Jerry can of water,fuel and spare food. Even if it's just packets of noodles,and tins of food
you can eat the turkeys, but you have to boil them with a rock and when the rock is soft the turkey is ready
😂 maybe...
We do eat farmed turkey... Mostly for Christmas.
Good ol Rock Soup
Whaaaat? How the heck did someone test that out 😂😂😂😂
And then you throw away the turkey and eat the rock.
Love the drone shots! Love watching you two enjoying my country. (Seriously, you've seen more of it than 95% of its own people have!)
Another great video! You talked about the huntsman spiders while you stood outside a "long drop" or "thunder box" (outside toilet). Careful at those redbacks etc will hang out around those and the seats....just have a look when you go in. 🕷🕸
Huntsmans are everywhere, but they're more active in Summer, so you won't see many at the moment. In nature they live under tree bark, so you'll find them in similar places like (in a car) under sun visors, in rear view mirrors, inside the door jams or (in a house) behind furniture, in curtains, linen cupboards, etc.
Airlie Beach is pronounced like air-lee. I was honestly looking for flies near your mic's in that drone reveal shot, lol.
Tia is my spirit animal
As someone who grew up in the rainforest up in far north Queensland I gotta say - make sure to check those rarely used outdoor toilets for snakes before sitting down!
I only just found your channel last week but I am obsessed with your travel videos now! Loving your Aussie adventures 🥰
I believe Blueberry deserves more screen time about how amazing she has been on your travels 😂 great choice in buying her! No doubt when you leave Australia you will miss her…..what a car 🎉🥰🇦🇺
Hi Tia and Cheveyo, just recently watch your video on your home town Sedona, what a lovely place to grow up. I think you might like some of the top of Western Australia it is similar.
If you haven't got to Darwin yet, if you go to the Mindil Beach market (Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon) for food and the sunset, there is a stall there called Road Kill where
you can try Kangaroo, Crocodile, Buffalo, Camel, etc.
You should be OK travelling across the top at this time of the year (dry Season) there will be lots of tourist travelling the same roads.
Love your work enjoy our beautiful Country. (lived in Humpty Doo, Darwin for 19+ years now Mildura, Vic.)
Lol I was like why are they standing there? There are so many flies! Didn’t realise the noise was a drone 😂🎉
I think we need to make a push to get this great couple to 100,000 subscribers ❤
Hello you two lovelies! My partner and I have just spent the last few days binge watching your utterly delightful videos of touring Australia. We both love how comfortable and happy we feel while watching your travels. It is so nice to have your perspectives on our country and also see where you've been. We are travellers too..gypsies..living all over this big country..so seeing your journey has been a way of revisiting our travels and life styles in different cities.❤
We had a concert to perform last night and found your energies so happy ..so calming..so sweet..you helped keep us engaged and calm and after the concert, we are catching up with your last video to date.
I also went swimming with dolphins in the wild a few years back but at a place called Tin Can Bay, where a dolphin befriended a dog and came each day to swim with her canine friend..this grew and became whispered about. When I went there, she brought her baby and I swam underwater with mother one side of me and baby on the other side. They were checking me out with their sonar. It was oh so special! I had just come from performing at the Whale and Dolphin festival..I felt so blessed.
You are both so natural, kind and sweet. We are both glad we found your shares. We too both suffer from social anxiety yet push ourselves to perform our music..straight from the heart! Sometimes it is a challenge to find places where gentler music can feature. Thank you so, so much
Same dolphins. Tim can bay is not far from Rainbow Beach. It’s on the same body of water.
@@TheFloatingCircus cool
How awesome to get to see and feed dolphins in a natural habitat. Very cool find! LoL I herd the buzzing, I was like the flies there must be horrible, how can they stand there talking so calmly. Congratulations on the drone! Australia has some beautiful country side. I don't think I'd want to build a monument to what could considered a failure, but gotta respect how they own it 👍👍
The best thing for a Cane Toad is a 9 Iron Golf Club.
Hey guys, you missed out on seeing our Dolphins 🐬 in Western Australia 🇦🇺 up north at Monkey Mia, my children and I used to swim with them and saw so many new babies, the most that came in was 21 on one morning, they were unreal days, my kids loved holidays at Monkey Mia but sadly not the same anymore… keep on enjoying our sparse country, cheers 💕🇦🇺
You are in Air lee beach 🏝️ entry point to the Islands, maybe take an air water plane fly to each Island, lived in Cannonvale for awhile while on my holiday, have fun 🦭🦈🐬🐠 🥰👍
They are coming around from the top end….they left Perth and went down south across the Nullarbor…so they still can!
It's not the same. At Monkey Mia they cherry pick a handful of people to feed them.
You've been in huntsman territory basically the whole trip, they live all over the place. You've probably been within a few feet of one multiple times already, without noticing (if they don't move they can be quite hard to spot in nature). They're not dangerous though. If you see one, don't panic -- you're vastly more likely to hurt yourself than it is to hurt you.
True, they are behind every dark cavity, just living their lives quietly! 🤗
I don’t want to scare them from getting up close & personal to trees but they would get an eyeful if they hugged one 👀 🕷 😂
My Son built a new House and it had one !
And there is usually a mate nearby.
Congrats on the drone, guys. Can't wait for the drone shot of you driving the car, needs a little bit of practice, but I believe in you❤❤❤❤ also, the Big things adventure from Tia is always funny not to mention awesome!
I think I have been watching you for over a year now and all this time I thought I was subscribed cause your videos were always popping up in my feed, but then when you said "subscribe", i looked down and noticed I wasn't .... so now I am, thanks for making me check :)
Lookout if they start floating up to the sky and say "Bye Fellas and thanks for all the fish".
Great videos! On the subject of eating bush turkeys: Put a big pot full of water on the boil, go out and catch the turkey and also locate a rock of the same size as the turkey. Place the rock and the turkey in the pot. Boil the turkey until the rock goes soft. Throw the turkey away and eat the rock. :)
Loving your adventures. First fell upon you both when you were in Adelaide ( my home town). I back tracked to your arrival in Perth and have been watching you ever since. When time allows I have been watching your previous travels around the world. You are responsible for putting climbing Mt Kosciusko on my bucket list.
@Official_OnePackWanderers Hi Tia and Cheveyo - Am I by some chance the postcard winner.
I love that the dolphins are completely free. It is my favourite animal too...love them ❤
10:47 laffed my ass off. Tia's first thought for the day is food and free! That's my gal! 🙃
Thank you both for the lovely tour of our country.
Please beware of one bug in particular: mosquitoes will potentially ruin your trip. Use the repellent to avoid Ross River Virus, Barmah River Virus, others.. Note some of these are prevalent south as well as north, such as RRV; a myth that it is only tropical.
Many other gotchas as you travel across the top as many are saying here so please stay safe and enjoy!
I love how excited Tia gets when she comes across “a big thing” 😂
When you get to Rickhampton you will cross the 'Tropic of Capricorn' and officially in the Tropics.
Enjoy
Terry
9:45 "Where do the Huntsman spiders live?" ........ Australia . They are technically everywhere. Not dangerous, just likely to make you jump.
Northern Australia is a wild place, smaller towns fewer people but harsh conditions, get ready to camp alot more.... take supplies..... be careful of crocodiles
We are in Melbourne and Huntsmen live at our place.Every so often one will come inside the house.I catch them and return them to a dry, safe place outside.
I’ve heard they are very fast!
They usually hang out on a wall or the ceiling and remain still.The trick is to step up on a chair, carefully approach, trap them under a large drinking glass, slide an envelope under the rim to secure the spider and carry him outside, where he will be safe.I will warn you, they know no fear and do have a habit of jumping on you, which does cause the heart to miss a beat.Down here, the spiders you need to be concerned about are Redbacks.They live under bark, sheets of tin etc.A good idea, when tidying up outside, is to wear garden gloves.Redbacks can kill, although we have only had one fatality in the last seventy years.Enjoy you holiday.
We have a lot of red backs in AZ. We call them black widows. Luckily they are very timid, but yea I would not want to catch a bite from one 😅
@@OnePackWanderersred back spiders and funnel web spiders are poisonous, and white tail spiders give a nasty bite and some people have a more extreme reaction to them, my cousin had lifelong skin problems after he got bitten by one.
I’ve lived here my whole life and seen plenty of huntsmen’s and white tails. Only seen a couple of funnel webs and a handful of red backs.
The bush turkey as known in Queensland is not closely related to the American turkey at all. It is nominally a creature of the rainforest and scrub and the male can produce nesting mounds of over a metre tall and several metres in diameter made up of mostly composting vegetation. Many females can visit the nest in any one season, lay eggs and then maybe visit other males' nests later to lay more eggs. The females then usually take no further part in nesting or raising the chicks. The male uses the composting vegetation to provide the necessary heat for the eggs to hatch and spends most of his time watching over his clutch of eggs and adding or removing compost material to keep the eggs within the optimum temperature range. The bush turkey was considered to be close to extinction around the 1930s with the major losses of their habitat but have recovered their numbers to where they are no longer considered as a threatened species anymore. They have become very accustomed to living in suburban areas where they can be quite a menace and destructive to home gardens. Under Queensland laws they are protected and if anyone is prosecuted for endangering or harming a bush turkey they can be very heavily fined and spend up to two years in jail. As bush turkeys were a traditional food for the native people, Aboriginals are exempt from such laws and can hunt these birds as per their own customs and laws.
There throughout Sydney too only 20 mins from centre, mostly northern sydney where owners complain about their precious gardens being dug up. They were eaten during the depression and numbers dropped but have since regained. These are native birds and are a protected species.
You guys are hysterical. Thank you for another great video. Can't wait for the next drop. Take care out there xx
I totally felt like you had loads of mozzies or flies around you at the beginning when you were talking 😂.. I was even feeling sorry for you 🤦🏼♀️… and I was like but I can’t see them ……then you revealed the drone 😂😂😂
Lol - I thought you guys stood on a beach full of flies 😂😂 Didn't realise it was the sound of the drone
Rockhampton and Airlie Beach, eh? You're really in the tropics now 😊 I lived in Townsville for several years. The tropical sun is very intense, so load up on hats & sunscreen! P.S. If I haven't said this already, Magnetic Island is a short catamaran ride from Townsville and is really gorgeous at this time of year 😊
Back in the 90s in Victoria the slogan was "Break the drive, stay alive".
My sister and her boyfriend did a Sydney to Perth trip around the top end on a motorcycle (with friends), I would assume it is far more risky now as far as isolation (less people), but the roads should be in better condition due to tourism! 🤔 (Your video footage and stories are much more interesting!) Make sure you have Aeroguard and Mosquito Nets! It Is comforting to have someone make and deliver you breakfast, it's a warm hug! I have bush turkeys in my backyard, we do not eat them! The Middle of the Road is safer! The Big Toad! 🐸 I am never working on a cane farm, ever!! Sleep well, drink lots of water, love your resourcefulness Tia! 😂👍
Great videos, a lot of fun to watch and very well shot. Winter is the best time of year to travel in north Qld. If you're planning to head over to the NT do a bit of reading beforehand regarding fuel, water and supplies needed (if you're heading off the main highway). As some areas are pretty remote, with poor roads, no gas stations and no mobile phone coverage. If you're driving through the more remote areas in the top end, make sure someone knows where you're going and your ETA, just to be on the safe side. And if you have car problems, stay with the car. People wandering off away from the car to look for help are usually the one's who end up in trouble in the desert.
No need to fear the Huntsman, theyre harmless & quite happy to cohabit with humans. Not a problem, as long as they stay on the ceiling.
Me being an Aussie, at first I thought you were in a swarm of flies or mozzies ... then I realised, you got a drone.
I know Tin Can Bay well, I have done the Labour Day Weekend Trailer Boat Race from TCB to Hervey Bay in my younger days. The Great Sandy Strait between Fraser Island and the mainland is a beautiful part of the world.
Woohoo, videos going up a notch from now on. 😀
You haven’t seen a huntsman yet? I’m more than happy to send you the one that’s living in my bathroom (palm sized) 😂😂😂
You guys are doing a great job showing everyone our country very entertaining ❤
Qld outback and the Northern Territory are very remote. It can get extremely hot in summer.
Roads were made for journeys not destinations -- Confucious
So happy to welcome you guys to our beaitiful, amazing country. Aussies are blessed.
When your up north in NT and WA make sure you pack extra water (2x10L jugs from Coles etc) and an extra 20L jerry can of fuel. Just in case. Rest stops and service stations are few and far between. You don't want to be caught stuck in the middle of nowhere.
*HEY GUYS* I don't know where you're going in Queensland but Winton's dinosaur tracks display is pretty great.
Gosh guys smiles for miles, you're gonna love the great barrier reef!!!!!!! PS love all the feel good moments like the ones you get in the movies 😘😘😘😘
Also laughing at the memories of Victorian road signs saying 'nap now'! As if I wanna nap on the road 😂😂😂
You're safe. Huntsmans spiders are mostly found in and around the lower South east coast of Australia. But you have other buggers to worry about in the north. Do not go into any rivers or beaches in the northern territory under any circumstances unless you're with a local. There are crocodiles and box jelly fish in the water.
One thing to remember as you drive the 3 to 4 hours between major cities on the QLD coastline is... the beaches don't stop. Sure there's the tourist traps such as Airlie but the whole coast of Queensland is essentially one long 2500km stretch of wonderful beaches and may not have seen a person walking on them for weeks.
Well...now that you've got a drone, you'll just to have to go back & do the lap around Australia all over again ...call it a "Victory Lap" 😂
Only found your channel about a week ago - love your work! If you ever come through Rockhampton again we have a secret beach to show you, well off the beaten track.
Also, we named our teardrop van Tia :)
Congrats on the drone purchase guys, should be awesome. Wow you guys are really blasting up the east coast really quickly. Don’t forget to stop and enjoy the destinations. Also, please be aware of crocodiles in waterways in northern Queensland and NT.
hey guys, just watched a couple of your videos, I have driven a lot of the same roads from the Vic Border up through NSW and Queensland and North to Far North Queensland, lived in Brisbane, London and Sydney. Love your relaxed and real approach to your trip, you are both very lucky to have each other to travel this wide sunburnt land and be able to share so many puns and smiles. Thanks some of us feel the need to get out there while enjoying your adventures. Wish you both well.
the cane toads....i still blame Bart Simpson 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely loved seeing you feed the dolphins. Congrats on getting a drone. Excellent all around
I missed those Tia. Thanks for your reply.
Wow, with a drone in your arsenal your videos' quality can only skyrocket. Australia truly is the place for great drone shots, its practically a condition of entry to be an aussie fishing youtuber.
The furthest north I have been in Australia was Shoal Water Bay training area. I cannot wait for your latest adventures to inspire me to do "the big lap" one day.
The drone will take you guys to the next level....Make sure you have plenty of provisions when you leave the coast and head for the Northern Territory.....it gets expensive out there !
And the desert in winter gets very cold
@@ashleykerlin Very true...
The turkeys are actually brush turkeys but so many people call them bush turkeys that both names are now acceptable. We do not eat these turkeys (yes we eat turkeys but not these wild ones). They even hang out in my backyard in Sydney 😂
They are the enemy of home Gardners trying to garden on mulch and straw. The male builds the nest and the bigger the better to attract the female. Obviously, any gardens within Cooee ends up on his pile. Also he's the one who raises the young.
The other day I was trying to look up peewees in an Australian bird app. No soap. They were listed under their binomial name (which is obscure to me) and as “magpie-lark”. Peewees aren’t magpies. They aren’t larks. (In answer to the obvious question, they’re related to the flycatchers.) Nobody I know calls them “magpie-larks”. Nevertheless, according to the precriptivists, their official common name is “magpie-lark” and that’s the only correct English term for them. But really, their actual common name is “peewee”, because that’s what people call them.
Around where I live _Alectura lathami_ are called “scrub turkeys”.
Or they are called Scrub Turkeys.
And there I was thinking the insects were really loud on that beach....Great idea getting a drone though.
In the country it is quite normal practice to drive in the middle of the road if you have no one in front of you.... this is due to kangaroos jumping out into the road... it allows you to react either left or right to avoid hitting them. If you don't wish to follow.... just come up behind them and put your right indicator on... and they should pull over to the left.
😂
First, it most definitely is not normal to 'practice' driving like a dick. And second, that's the Bruce Highway not some back country road. If you think that's ok then please hand in your licence.
Disagree. As a local from where they were driving at the time, that car would have annoyed locals too. Ive driven a lot of places in 'the country' and ive seen very few people drive like that, except for way out west and on some remote 4 W D roads.
Huntsman spiders live mostly on trees in gaps under the bark or in rock crevices that sort of thing.
There’s a super-creepy spider that’s flat and pale that only lives under bark, you find it by stripping off bark, which on many eucalypts comes off in great sheets. First Nations and settlers used bark for cabins and roofing.
In Cairns go to Copperlode dam and film the drive, then Crystal Cascades and go for a swim in the clear water. Then Daintree Forrest but it is expensive.
Drone footage is always a nice extra touch...Good luck!
What kind of drone did you guys end up getting ? So excited about all the new footage there will be. We love you guys!
i look forward to every one of your videos 💜thanks for cheering up my day
Love the vibe of you two! Being an Aussie, it's great watching you enjoy our country.
Tia, bush wees all the way. Even my kids know that it's bush wees when road tripping.
Chev! Get a golf club for the cane toads! You will start enjoying them.
As you head further north and then onto the west, keep enough water and food for a few days, just in case. Would hate for you to be stranded and on the news as another bunch of tourists gone missing!
Cheveyo, good job on the car wash, it's been proven in studies that cars run better when clean, also far more aerodynamic!
And by the way, Huntsman Spiders are everywhere...
there's on the wall behind you right now!
Great drone footage for being newbies to it. I wouldn't worry about huntsmen spiders, but crocs when you go north.
After Cairns you need to be careful with your car, if you breakdown between Cairns and back to Perth going the top end down you need a back up plan. The Australians watching will help if you need.
I’m sure she’s gonna be all over the BIG GUMBOOT! 😅
Now that you're travelling through more remote and potentially hazardous parts of the country I strongly urge you to swap your SIM cards to Telstra at your next opportunity - you'll get less data for your money, but the coverage in regional areas is orders of magnitude better, there are entire small country towns that only have Telstra service. You want to maximise your chances of having phone service in an emergency and nobody else has anything remotely comparable to their service once you're in the bush
