The Northern rivers is the closest thing to heaven on earth that I have ever seen those mountains are ancient volcanos that collapsed into there own magna chambers and the floods wash the most insanely fertile soil into the flood plains so absolutely everything grows like mad.
It's a very special area. I lived at Mt Warning back in 2014-15, there is something very spiritual there. We would get flooded in unable to go to town on a few occassions.
@@smurfylee It has a powerful feeling to it it is very strong in Byron bay which is the eastern most point, Wilson Prom on Victoria is the most southern point and it is a weird place to camp in bad weather that place is strong with the dark side of the force.
Some Dumb Ozzie: Now there's a statement I would have to agree with whole-heartedly. It is literally heaven on earth...though the inhabitants of the area are probably feeling more like they're in hell right now after what they have just endured. It is a very spiritual place and has an amazing energy I have never experienced anywhere else. Especially around Wollumbin (Mount Warning).
@@christineanderson4794 I have used the words heaven on earth in other comments, I have spent a lot of time around there and although I now live in Redfern could have told you this was coming months ago the ants all disappeared some time ago. Having lived in North Lismore near the Grey hound track I know what that means. This rain is not as unusual as you might think it is just that Australia hasn't had a proper wet season since 1973 and 74. I for one am relived sure a few hundred thousand humans are cold and wet but millions of plants, birds and animals are doing just fine, they are going off around here I have never in my life heard so many bird singing at once. What happens next is so extraordinary that you have to see it with your own eyes this place is about to explode wit new life to replace all that was lost in the fires. The bird populations of this continent are at all time lows and soon will take off. The Cockatoo flock in Centennial park has grown by up to 500% and there are young Corellas everywhere the dams are full and the land is well watered. Climate change has been drying out this place out for decades now, this is climate normalization reverting back to the way that is best for all life on earth not just us.
@@quicklaws5126 That's life in the Northern rivers I miss living there they were some of the best years of my life. But it is a different story inland it has been very dry inland.
Our beautiful town and surrounding areas will come back from this .the people and all emergency services are amazing without the strength and courage every1 has showed we would not survive mentally and physically. to all helpers and emergency services we appreciate everything our community and everyone has really not stopped and will keep helping as much as they all can .we love murwillumbah
How awesome was the footage of the Black Cockies. Epic. Amazing how high the water got over that bridge. Can only imagine the destruction up on Mt. Warning too.
Would love to see more and more drone footage like this so we can all connect in to the local magic, the local bird life and the reality of magi and ascension. So important to have footage like this of our local and life especially the Spirit of the Black Cockatoo. Thank you.
So sad seeing my mum birth place like this. Her uncle drowned in the 1931 floods on the old byangum bridge he was only 17 he was buried at the old Murbah Cemetry which I think is now a memorial park his name is John James but was known as Jack
Yes, a John Walter James, died 1.6.1930, aged 17 years, is listed on the memorial plaque in Murbah. There's also James James 22.1.1909 (35 yrs), Rebecca James 2.3.1907 (49 yrs) & Richard James 8.9.1918 (70 yrs).
John Walter james was my nan older brother ( eldest of 8 siblings) so my great uncle. Story I've heard is that it was pouring rain, roads were flooding and he just finished work, boss told him to stay back as it was to dangerous but "jack" wanted to give money to his mum ( my great grandma) on the way a tree log knock Jack of horse killing both on byangum bridge, my great grandma never got over it. Not sure who James james is but there was Richard and Rebecca james family and George and his wife family ( Richard and George were brothers). I actually named my youngest after her great great great grandmother.
Fantastic catch at the end of all the Red Black Cockatoos. I have always found them to warn me of rain coming. I have lived in the Northern Rivers for 45years, never seen flooding like this. I had seen many Flood Markers of 1974, this has outdone all previous floods.
In packs flying that low indicates more rain to come...their rain song is also a foreboding in terms of rain. Something we don't really need right now 😞👍
Joel I have just stumbled across your amazing drone photography and I just LOVE it! You are very talented. This almost moved me to tears .... I grew up in the Tweed Valley and it evoked so many memories there. Murwillumbah and surrounds will always tug at my heart strings. I now live in the beautiful Terania Creek region. Would love it if you could do a fly up our valley, that would be awesome. Many thanks for sharing your beautiful work.... and by the way, I loved the black cocky's at the end and how you were up there with them. Well done 👏
Christine Taylor: How is the rainforest around Protester Falls recovering after the 2019 fires? Visited many years ago and have never forgotten its beauty
@@christinetaylor2156 Thank you for replying. That is wonderful to hear. I agree the whole north east NSW region is incredibly unique and special. I visited twice in the past taking the long drive inland up the Newell from Melbourne , then down across to Grafton. I become quite emotional just thinking about it. It's on my bucket list to return one day. x
I know others have said this but the Black Cockatoo sequence was amazing, particularly given their connection with dramatic changes in weather. Some people think its an old farmers myth that they signal the advent of rain but I'm certain they ride the cold fronts.
Fantastic footage. The icing on the cake for me was the capture of the black cockatoos and their call. Beautiful!

Home !! The uki road is still under repair, the traffic is nothing like it's ever been 😅😂❤

stunning... and those black cockatoos. Thank-you
Wow. Thanks for sharing Joel.
Great vids Joel. How about one tomorrow showing the clean up round town and sth Murwillumbah?
Holy cow I remember that bridge not far from my nannas farm at Terragon …road from there was gravel when I was a kid
Revegetate those floodplains back to subtropical lowland rainforest on areas immediately adjacent to river & riparian systems Restore the big scrub

Yeah but black cockies bring the rain...

Christine Anderson they have recovered well. You can no longer tell fires have been through. The whole north east NSW is a truly special place x

Thanks for your positive comments:) Will look into Terania Creek area.
The Byrill Creek Black Cockatoo fam ❤️🔥

Terrible music selection you couldn’t think of anything better ? Sorry
