    Pluggers and desert boots are the footwear choice of champions. Bloody hell James eye look very bad. Very scary time for everyone. Thanks for sharing this experience..

      Thanks for watching! Pluggers have gotten me into some pretty remote parts of the country!

    Wow that looked awful for poor little James. Glad it was a good outcome! Funny little guy seemed more distraught about losing his stick the day before. 😅
    The tablelands are a beautiful part of the country.

    I guess the leeches come with the territory but thank goodness for a happy ending 😀😀😀

      They do unfortunately. We were aware they were around but didn't expect that!

    The idea of going to any emergency department for any reason is horrible I'm so glad JAMES is fine ,another beautiful episode thanks for the ride.

    So I’m not used to getting teary watching your vids but this one was a bit of a tearjerker with little James needing a trip to hospital. So scary when you have to takes your kiddies to emergency. What a little trooper though!
    Those waterfalls are simply beautiful - what a picturesque part of NQ!

    Hope you enjoyed the chill out after the leech event. Children seem so helpless when injured almost as much as the parents. Your right the waterfalls are beautiful. Best wishes.

      Thanks Ron. The rain kept coming but we enjoyed some R&R all the same 👍

    You're a great family. Thanks so much for another great episode. Poor James. Glad it was a good outcome.
    Hey...after having four granddaughters we have just been blessed with a grandson. His name is Harrison. Isn't that cool. We're pretty chuffed. Catch up with you next week. 😊

  • @RoaminintheRobbo
    @RoaminintheRobbo 2 года назад

    Gosh I can only imagine how scary/upsetting that would of been. You handled it great, far better than I would of! Glad James was ok.

  • @takingwandaoutyonda
    @takingwandaoutyonda 2 года назад +1

    Oh gosh, how frightening for you all 😮 I must admit it was the longest 2 ad break I’ve had to sit through when you were 12 minutes out from the hospital as I couldn’t wait to see that little James was ok!! But as always I did continue to watch them as you are so generous by donating to many wonderful causes, and I’m happy to continue to be a small contributor to that 😁 Well done and Thank you! 🙏🙏 It was heartbreaking to watch you Liz, being a mum is a tough gig and I really felt for you ❤

  • @leannedecampo8110

    OMG poor James, and you! That looked horrific. Not sure if it would help in this situation but we always have salt with us when walking through the rainforest to put on leeches. Made the mistake of wearing white tshirt and white sandshoes once on a walk. Attracted hundreds of leaches. Such a beautiful area.

    • @TheLifestylePioneers
      @TheLifestylePioneers  2 года назад

      Thanks, Leeane. Not sure about salt but apparently saline solution would be ok. We don't own any white clothes anymore 😆

  • @guydraper
    @guydraper 2 года назад

    On a selfish note, I was so glad I’d seen that James had come through that ordeal before I watched the ep, as I teared up watching Liz as it was ! So glad it worked out fine….what a little champ !

    Good water fall walks,glad to see James came out o.k. When you were walking through all the trails,I was thinking of ,please watch out for Leeches.

    • @TheLifestylePioneers
      @TheLifestylePioneers  2 года назад

      Thanks, Elaine. We'd seen plenty, but we didn't expect that 😆

    Omg! What a horrible experience, poor James, poor you two. I hate leeches! Its funny Simon when the video started I was just thinking are you wearing thongs when you mentioned them 🙂love that area and all the waterfalls. I also stayed where you were and it was also raining. Up there was the first time Id seen a big wind generator. A lovely area. Constant rain is a big test in a caravan with kids isnt it. While we waited to move into our house years ago we did it with 3 in the days before computers and handheld devices lol Looking forward to a less dramatic episode next week. 😍cheers Cheryl

    • @TheLifestylePioneers

    We live in Springbrook QLD and leeches are a fact of life I reckon I flick off or find them crawling across the floor (I,e fell off) at least three times a day+, everyday, don’t even ask about how many my dog gets daily, but to get one in the eye yikes, that would even spin me out, well done team, and as a retired ED nurse, ughh !! Loving your journey though.

    • @TheLifestylePioneers
      @TheLifestylePioneers  2 года назад

      Thanks so much. It was certainly a big shock and we're glad it all worked out ok.

  • @coversadventurecapers2838
    @coversadventurecapers2838 2 года назад

    We went to the crater and falls in the rain too! We even wore pluggers too and yes it was adventurous 😂. It was probably our fav because we had no idea what it was going to be. We loved the Atherton tablelands. Would definitely be a spot to make a base in the future. Hugs to you for James. Glad he is ok x

  • @pamforman3333
    @pamforman3333 2 года назад

    Lots of water over the falls looked amazing. Mud is pretty annoying though. Thankfully we never had a leech on the eyeball. It looked terrible! Our older daughter got a leech on the ear lobe which looked like a earring but grotesque! Yuck I hate them.

    @aussieadventureswithdogs7968 Год назад

    Binge watching you guys at mo... thanks btw... just to let you know when we were in Cairns area, my partner pulled a leech out of a guy's eyeball after he approached asking if we could help.. so shocking then, now see not uncommon OMG need to all wear safety glasses

    • @TheLifestylePioneers
      @TheLifestylePioneers  Год назад

      That's awesome. Glad you're enjoying the vids. Yes, we've heard of a few others it's happened to since this video, crazy.

    Poor kid and you guys, would have been frightening. If you were at Millaa millaa the Atherton hosp is probably slightly closer than Innisfail

    My Grandson Kyran had a leech in his eye after our waterfall explore but we went to Atherton hospital. My Grandson is fine thankfully with eye sight intact. Very scary 😨.
