    Man oh man, this is what life should be about. Australia never ceases to amaze me at the sheer beauty of the place. I can only describe it as Gods own playground. There are times I sit looking out the window here in dreary old England wishing I had such freedoms to be at one with the wildness. Epic video Scotty, you certainly know how to pick the best places. Happy Birthday mate 🎉Thanks as always for taking us along with you. All the best Andy

  • @BuckMckawtheotherone
    @BuckMckawtheotherone 6 дней назад +5

    Hey Scotty. From an old fart, who bought a telescoping rod in 1975, which I still use btw, I learned to 'screw' each section into the next, and to 'unscrew' each section to take it down. It's all old trick from Field and Stream magazine from years ago. It creates a rifled grove over time, which holds the section from getting loose with use. So, you line the eye of the section above one quarter turn counterclockwise, pull it up to stretch it out, give it a quarter turn clockwise, as you snug it tight, then repeat for the next section, one quarter turn counterclockwise sideways, snug, twist one quarter turn clockwise to align with the bottom eye, as you tighten, and so on. Your rod will last longer in gripping each section. The reverse is done for takedown. Hope this is useful.

      The inland Victoria cicada tends to be a small three centimetre almost black variety. I encountered them years ago on the Upper Buffalo river, they sang from dawn to about 2230.

Just brought back so many memories of the Snowy River, hiking to Kosciuszko, surviving a blizzard at Lake Albina and taking my sons into one of my favourite locations. If I had the opportunity it's a trip I would certainly want to do. Australia is certainly gods own country. Enjoy your work.

    Fantastic film Scotty, it takes me back to when I paddled the Snowy in the 1980s! in Olymp 75’s(fibreglass kayaks) neoprene spray decks, wooden paddles, and using our shellite stoves to Cook on a wok. Thanks for showing us on film the places I just relied on my memory to recall. Cheers. Great stuff! Happy birthday too!

    Thanks for the memories. I was part of the willow eradication program for the Snowy River for 10 odd years I've walked kayaked and even had helicopter drops in to parts of were you guys explored. We would spend 10 days in and go home for 4. From Jindy all the way down. Was one of best times of my life exploring this amazing water way. River now looks amazing with no willow trees choking up the system. Thanks again for the memories and tosee the river and the work we done has done wonders to the river 😊
