Becky, I have not enough words to express my delight in the opportunity to virtually tour your beautiful country! I love traveling and seeing new places in the world, but probably I will not be able to get ALL of my bucket list checked out in my lifetime. I am grateful to you for beinging so kind and generous to share with us your Western Australia adventure. And, for what is worth, I am in awe of your beautiful art work done in your sketchbook and your incredible patience to document every leg of your trip so beautifully and accurately. Super interesting presentation and entertaining in the same time! Thank you, dear Becky! ❤
Becky, what an AMAZING sketchbook tour! You and Nick definitely experienced the trip of a lifetime and got beautiful still and drone videos of it. Nick's drone videos are quite impressive and beautiful. Kudos on all of your paintings and annotations of your trip, simply gorgeous! I almost forgot, I loved the bird on Nick's head, on his hand and back on his head again, too cute! You should do a painting of that for him, well...and for the viewers 😊
Brilliant Becky. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m more than a little envious at your fantastic adventure. You really are a very good narrator. I was captivated the whole way through. Nick’s drone footage was so good and your photography was amazing. Together really impressive. The work in your sketchbook is wonderful. Again thank you for taking the time to share. Cheers.
@@BeckyTregearActually I was just telling my husband all about it. Now we are both retired we may be able to plan a trip across the Nullarbor. We just need a sturdy enough car. We are going to sit together this evening and watch your video. Thank you again I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers.
I think that the drawings/paintings that you call “dodgy” are very very good. Your color choices, the sketchy-ness and adding stickers make the entire book a wonderful piece of art.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you appreciate the "dodgy" bits - I've been looking at the book for too long so I can't be objective with it anymore, lol! 😂
Wonderful achievement Becky. Great to relive these memories that I was lucky to enjoy on your actual journey. Remember seeing lots of your photos on your Facebook posts as you travelled and of course our many video calls we made at the time. Mum ❤
That is so cool! I loved every minute! I already really enjoy sketchbook tours, but this one was even more special because you shared the trip. Thank you so much!😊
Wonderful sketchbook! Congratulations for finishing it. So impressive! What a great way to relive your journey. 😊You brought back some nice memories for me too, of a trip taken with my mum and dad in 2000 to that gorgeous southwest corner of WA, plus the wildflower meadows inland from Geraldton. We went by plane from Melbourne to Perth, not The Nullarbor though. My favourite bit of your trip (and mine) was the treetop walk amongst the Tingles! 😄✈
I loved seeing the Tingle trees too! We'd watched a recent show where Bill Bailey toured around southwest WA and once we saw the treetop walk, we added that onto our list immediately! I'm so glad we went, even though it was bucketing. The trees looked even more beautiful in the rain! ❤ Next time we go to Perth we'll fly, lol.
Yea! Congratulations on finishing this travel book. I was just thinking of mine from my Arizona and California trip in the beginning of the year that I still haven't finished and now I'm heading back there in exactly a month. I might need to get it out and take a look to see what needs to be finished. The detail in yours is amazing. I'm really impressed with all of your little paintings. This was so fun!
@@MirandaWatsonArt Thank you! Wow how cool that you're going back, that is definitely a good opportunity to work on your book again. Hard to spend time arting when there is so much to see and do during the day though, lol. I hope you have fun 😊
Thank you, it's my most ambitious one yet! These sorts of sketchbooks are a real commitment, but I'm glad I put the time in for this one. It's a once in a lifetime drive for us I think, unless we end up one day buying a campervan and circumnavigating Australia in its entirety. A lot of retirees do that - maybe we shall become Grey Nomads too. 😄
What an epic trip for you and Nick! I didn't realize how little I knew about Australia until now, even though I've always wanted to visit there. Your sketchbook is amazingly creative, and your artwork represents your passion for art and Australia! Thank you so much, Becky, for taking us along for the ride!
Becky, absolutely, wonderfully stunning video and sketchbook tour! Thankyou for fulfilling one of my lifelong dreams. I may have told you before... As teenager (1960's, when Australia was desperate for immigrants) I was planning to take a £10 ticket to immigrate to Australia from the UK. I decided that having my UK nursing qualifications would be sensible, and of course, things changed in the intervening years. I ended up in France instead for a while, and 40 years later, came back. I don't regret it, but to have seen some of the things I'd read about / still read about, via this much anticipated video by someone special to me has been a lovely end-of-a-gruelling art project treat. Thank you! If you can get hold of a copy of Neville Shute's On The Beach (Kindle edition on UK Amazon is 99p), it's a deeply moving, prophetic story which ends in Australia. I read it as a teenager, and have never forgotten it.
I'll see if I can find a copy! Nick's parents migrated to Australia from Greece in the late 60's, pretty much that same story that Australia needed immigrants and the money was a lot better here so they could send it back to their families, and also build a better life for themselves. They met through the local Greek community here, and the rest is history, haha! Now Australians whinge about having too many immigrants - the usual cycle! 😂 I bet France would have been fabulous....many of us here dream of migrating to lovely places in Europe so it goes both ways. I love Australia though, except for the heatwaves. Tomorrow is going to be 41 degrees.....oh joy! 🔥
I love your videos and you're so good at telling the stories of the locations you visited and what they were like. Thank you so much for sharing this! It's a really well done travel sketchbook.
Thanks for sharing Becky, I'm looking forward to driving Melbourne to Perth one day, love your sketchbook. You have inspired me to start a travel sketch book next time I go on holidays.
I was totally immersed in this video!! Oh what a fantastic road trip, if I ever win the lotto I'd would love to travel to Australia and New Zealand and that Stonehenge blew me away!! I didn't know the Aussies had built a replica of it, how amazing! So many fascinating things to see, loved it, except for maybe the camel milk yuk!! :D
New Zealand is incredibly beautiful, and it's my birth country so I'll always love it. Australia is entirely different with its vast nothingness which I also love. The Stonehenge is so awesome, I'm so glad we got to see it! The camel milk was ridiculously expensive, otherwise I would have bought a bottle to try. 😂
Yaaaay watching your travel vids and sketchbks are my favourite!! You guys should travel more:) Loved so many things in this vid.. to see earths vastness from the drone, your sunsets and how funny was that little bird on Nick's head😆.... & I never knew we had a complete Stonehenge in Oz. I'm off on a NZ road trip in Jan and rewatched your NZ episode a few times to help with planning. Great videos, where to next?☺️💙💛🧡💚
@redbird5056 NZ is awesome! 😎 Nullarbor trip was ridiculously expensive so it will be a while before we do a big trip like that again, lol. Maybe a week up to Sydney and/or Brisbane next year to see friends and family.
Thank you for sharing Becky. Such a great video and you've done such a great job with the sketchbook. It really tells the story of your trip. Wave rock, Stonehenge and the great Australian bight were highlights for me. The bight looks awesome but the edge and how it just drops omg!!! Terrifying for me. It looks like you can walk right to the edge too. I suppose what kind of a fence could you possibly put up there? Lol absolutely enjoyed everything you showed us and love your sketchbook of memories. Very cool and I would definitely have you for a tour guide anytime 😅 absolutely stunning footage, so well done to Nick also 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and the Great Australian Bight really is incredible - I'm so glad I was able to capture some of its awesomeness! At Ceduna tourist info shop, the lady was saying that people often park their campers right at the cliff's edge to sleep there (which is completely insane!), and the rock is eroding away considerably at the moment so the danger that it could collapse and take the whole camper with it is a very real thing! New fear unlocked, lol!
What an amazing trip and what an amazing way to remember it! I love the layout and how you included the tiny details that are huge memories. Thank you so much for sharing the trip! I have always wanted to visit Australia, and seeing and hearing about your trip has moved Australia up on my bucket list of places I want to see!
Brilliant, we are embarking on our western aus trip in September october 2025, and you have given me a few more ideas of where to go. Thanks so much for tha insight and information
@@WendyHanna-pn6rj Oh fantastic, I think the wildflowers will be at their peak in September and some places have wildflower festivals around then - we were a bit early, being there in August. Have fun planning your trip! 😊
A great video, and what a trip, and a wonderful journal, all in all very very nice to watch... Thx so much and hi to Nick. Warmest and have a happy Christmas.
I thoroughly enjoyed every page! Really lovely sketchbook and lovely memories ❤ and the painting of your father I thought was beautiful. What a pleasure flipping through this! It is really beautiful
It's funny you mention not wanting to go to the toilet in that one area. When I was in Maine in the US, we were looking for 🫎 and there was no toilets all day. Hubby and brother in law were fine. I had to keep the liquid intake down down, as there was no way I was going to go in the bush 🤣 I can't believe you managed to fill a sketchbook with just your trip ❤
@@lozantoninocreations In some places I'd rather go behind a bush than in the actual toilet building, mainly because it's easier to see if there are any creepy crawlies, lol! Worst loo building I ever went into was in Queensland, and the whole ceiling was festooned with redback spiders. 😖
Loved seeing your footage of your travels. Loved the mini stone henge and you’re right we are no longer able to go up to ours - when I was younger we were able to but no more x
It's a shame you can't go up to the stones any more there - even when we went 17 years ago, it was roped off and you could only view it from afar. 😭 Esperance Stonehenge, you can hug those rocks all day, lol! Actually, you can also do that at the Ring of Brodgar in the Orkneys - that's my absolute favourite henge. ❤
Thanks for sharing, this book is beautiful! Seeing that Busselton starfish sticker in the back made me look twice, I bought one in Warrnambool back in June. It's identical except for the town name 😆
You did much better than me.... I did not quite finish my travel journals. Your's is such a dellight! Did you use all of your travel art supplies? How did your Jazza travel bags travel? Such a fun adventure
It's about the only thing I managed to finish this year! My next video will show all the things I didn't, lol. 😂 I used a fair amount of paint, especially the Holbein and Art Spectrum palettes. Also some of my brush pens and paint pens (the KMart ones I bought earlier in the year - I've actually used some of them completely up, yay!). Jazza bags are holding up really well. They cost a lot but at least they're nice quality and nothing is falling apart. I've used them a lot too! The small one is pretty much my everyday handbag so it goes with me everywhere and it's still looking good, not scuffed or anything.
Amazing! I would love to visit some of those sights. Also there are a few somewhat similar wave rock formations in the US. Maybe you will get to visit and compare someday. Thanks for the fun video!
Hi Becky, That was amazing! Thank you so much for that tour of video footage, artwork, and other tidbits. I quite enjoyed it. But man, you must have been so exhausted at the end!
Hi Becky, thank you so much for taking us through your sketchbook. It’s incredible and soo much work. I reminisced over some of the beautiful places that I’ve visited too over the years. Would you recommend the Baohong sketchbook? I’m looking for a well priced sketchbook for 2025. Wishing you a very happy Christmas and an extra special New Year. Thanks again 😊🎄✨🎄✨
@@kathrynwoolcock4943 I'm glad you enjoyed reminiscing! 😊 Yes, I liked the sketchbook. The paper is cotton, which is great. I found paint did kind of sit on the surface for a while before settling in, but otherwise I had no issues. This is the hot press one but the paper is still somewhat toothy. The cold press is a lot rougher by comparison.
Haha! It is a great zoo, we went there during our previous visit to Adelaide a few years ago. I was happy to see the pandas before they went back to China! I think they have other ones there now?
@ I haven't been for a few years either. I probably saw the same pandas as you🤣. I wouldn’t choose Adelaide for a holiday but I would love to see Perth. Getting too old to cross the Nullarbor though

@ I haven't been for a few years either. I probably saw the same pandas as you🤣. I wouldn’t choose Adelaide for a holiday but I would love to see Perth. Getting too old to cross the Nullarbor though
