    Hi karl it has taken me a while to add to the comments , but credit where credit is due , I think your films are worthy of BBC time slots and it is high time somebody head hunted you and funded you to keep giving us this material. Any way I have seen most of your films and watched a great portion of them multiple times . They are a great source of information ,, inspiration and great entertainment and humor.. so please dont stop .. I am 42 (old fart backpacker ) and in the planing stages of my round the world trip .traveled lots years ago now my life has presented me the chance to pack up the old ruck sack again , thanks , hope james is cool , these days!!!

    First off all, your series is extremely well done and well edited, it feels like a proper tv show, super nice to watch! I'm super impressed with the amount of work and planning that came into this. Such a great watch, what an adventure. I'm leaving solo to central america in a month for the whole summer, stuff like this takes me through my exams, thanks a lot!

      ***** Are you serious? Can I contact him by any chance? Would be fun to hang out with him. I'm going to work in a sweet surf camp in Costa Rica, you pay 100 euro's a week, you get accomodation, food and surf lessons and you work 2 hours a day, off in the weekends, if he's interested, maybe I can get him in on that deal.

    Fantastic series, have watched all the episodes over the last few days. It's like a good box set, can't wait for the next one each time. Going on a very similar trip this year, this is making me even more excited!!

  • @taffy3857

    This video (and the series) deserve so many more views. STA travel took me here.
    Have always been a fan since I did a 6 week tour of Canada and Eastern USA. Very jealous of your trip up to this point, can't wait to watch the rest!

    Working my way through this HK2NY series. Bummer you had a bad time in Malaysia but you sure as heck made up for it in Bali. Loved the addition of Khe Sanh in this vid so appropriate for Australia its like our pseudo national anthem👍. But your singing and guitar playing was sensational lve not heard you play before, man of many talents you are!! Thanks so much for sharing this adventure with the world you are a legend.

    • @karlwatsondocs

    Ubirr Rock changed the way I saw the world. When I first visited there were no trails or fences, just a sign indicating that some of the paintings had been dated to about 23,000 years ago. As you sit on the rock taking in the iridescent green plain, the dark red outcrops, the teeming wildlife and the carboniferous smell, you half expect a dinosaur to swing into view. It then strikes you that people just like you have been sitting here, looking at this same view six to ten times longer than the pyramids have existed. That was so mind-blowing.

    I travelled with adventure tours from Darwin all the way down to Adelaide via Alice Springs almost 12 years ago now. Boy does this bring back some great memories! This is the first of your documentaries that I've seen, so I'll definitely watch the rest now...happy, happy memories of my 2003 round the world trip, thanks!!

    Looks like you guys had a great group on your tour. I think that would make all the difference in how much fun you have. My favorite part was when you all banded together to mess up that douchebag's truck in the parking lot - nothing like a team effort to build rapport, lol.

    pity no road trains shown while in alice I was at the maint yard most impressive vehicles. I was backpacking solo. while in alice had met local aboriginals who were selling there art roadside. bought 5 and brought them back to Canada along with pic of the artists. there known as dreamtime stories. took them to local art museum and they were totally unaware of the style. were impressed though.

    too bad they left out the croc farm crocodillus . you can observe crocs from eggs right on up through the years. on drive down from Darwin I noted quite a lot of brown eagles munching on road kill. used greyhound to get around plus the ghan train.

    I was just wondering, what company(ies) did you use for this part of Australia? I've found companies that do tours of Uluru and the National Parks, but it's full on camping overnight and I'm not sure I'm brave enough for that!

    • @becksied

    Best country in the world to live in and make a good life but its a boring country to visit with not much things to do and see and if there is they are a mile apart making it way too expensive for a tourist. its a shame as its a big country with low number of tourist visiting with 4 million in 2014.

    Disappointing to see that the travel guide let the females play the didg. If he was an informed guide, he would know that the didg is a male only instrument.
