- A bucket list hike to Strangler Cairn in Conondale National Park, QLD.
Not a hard hike, around 6kms return hike to this famous giant egg, sculpture my Andy Goldsworthy, that hundreds of hand cut granite and Mary Valley slate was helicopters in from a local quarry. In 2012, it cost a near $680 000.
It's very interesting to see yourself, hence why it's been on my bucket list of hiking for ages. I probably would have went earlier, but you do need a 4WD to get over the 3 river crossings. Hence the adventure in Diego's 4WD.
Some pics of the making of the structure where taken from Arts Queensland posted a video ➡️ • Andy Goldsworthy - Str...
Adding some free camping at a near by location, little Yamba creek.
Dora loves an adventure and tries to make every day an adventure, if she can. So on a weekend, you can definitely have an adventure. Even a day trip somewhere you haven't gone before can be an adventure.
That's what this channel is about, adventures. But the biggest adventure / bucket list / goal for Dora is reaching 80 countries. She is about 57/ 58 countries into the goal. I've got to rework the numbers, to work it out, as can you count a country you went into for the day? I crossed the border into Paraguay to go shopping and hangout for a few hours. I changed money and bought things.
Can you count a country you stayed over night? as I did stay over night in Japan once. The airline paid for the hotel and breakfast and I spent no money there, hence I didn't put it on my list as visited.
Can you say you have visited a country when you only went to the capital, for a weekend?
I have to come up with some rules, I think. What do you think?
Disclaimer, we have no clue what we are doing making videos or even filming but we are having fun with the process. This is our 6th video upload, there's one previous of a volcano erupting in Vanuatu, but that doesn't count. It was just a random upload 4 years ago and when Dora thought about uploading to RUclips and starting a blog about chasing 80 countries but started an Instagram account instead.
I do some very random things on that Instagram page, one being a weekly Wednesday dance to make people smile. Life shouldn't be so serious and we need to laugh more, mainly at Dora and her questionable dance moves. I do, now post that dance to shorts on Wednesday's. Well, I will again.
But lets be friends on Instagram

@xploradora8099 to see the next upload, which will / was to be camping in the backyard. As I accidentally deleted 6 months of footage off my phone, I thought I had saved it and I didn't. I have screen shots instead.
So upside, this video was made lots shorter as half the footage was deleted. Hence I have taken ages to upload it, I've been a bit upset with myself at deleting 6 months of last year's adventures.

Great 👍🏼👍🏼
That’s a long walk but we enjoyed watching it.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Can you see why I wanted to see this weird egg thing?
Free camping at Little Yaba Creek. I’ll take note of this place. Blankets and doona. Nice tent set up!
Thanks for watching, it’s a nice place to visit. So you like Donuts ? The Kenilworth donuts are really good for breakfast
I loved watching and seeing you on your Queensland hike camping weekend! I felt like I was there!
Thanks Jenny, this was such a fun overnighter. A free camp site with toilets 👏🏼👏🏼 ok might have been smelly but better than squatting in the dark🤣
@@xploradora8099 Absolutely!! I loved the way you set up your tent and then went hiking and did not have to worry about your tent going missing on your return!
@@Littlewanderingwren the tent cost me $3 from an op shop
@@xploradora8099 what a bargain!
Ah the joys of camping - tent set up - smelly bathrooms. The driving on the other side of the road always freaks me out (living in the US all my adult life) . The Gold mine was very interesting although I wonder how many people entered before they closed it down. EEEEK bats! The egg story was very interesting and the hike was beautiful. The countryside is lovely. Thanks for sharing. Love Blacklist! Sorry that you lost this footage. But this was very good. If I could make one suggestion - to adjust the volume it was loud in some areas and very low in others. It difficult to hear you. The hike and egg was my favorite.
Thank you for the feedback about the volume.
I probably rushed to post it and didn’t check the volume.
The egg story is fascinating, can you see why it was a bucket list hike I had to do ?
@@xploradora8099 Yes, the whole trip was awesome!
