Regarding Honey being taken at the WA border this happened to me many many years ago- At that time I was advised that Honey can spread Newcastle disease- which infects poultry /bird life etc. - Cheers Grant
Hi guys, I have been backtracking your adventures from the 1st video and wondering at what time of the year you started the trip, I’m guessing around August. And probably Darwin by the end of September or early October due to the detour to Adelaide. Is that somewhat close to the real time?, I’m thinking about the weather, rainy season, and heat. Once again thanks for sharing your experience, beautiful videos and pictures.
G'day, Yes correct, we left home mid Aug ,arrived in Darwin early Oct and Broome by mid Oct. With the delay/detour south to Adelaide and bike service whilst there, it did push us into the warmer weather , the heat was crazy at times but we just drank lots of water and gatorade along the way . The advantage was not a lot of caravans/travellers on the road and plenty of accomodation options at the bigger towns. Glad to hear you are enjoying the videos 👌
Could you run the risk of hitting wild life on the road if you left to early or arrive to late ? What time of the day does the wild life become a problem ? THANKS for your postings really help a lot in my planning
Yes, early mornings and late afternoons can have lots of kangaroos and wallabies about. We hit the road most days around 8.30/9.00 am onwards and off in the afternoon by 3.30 /4 pm with a couple of exceptions due to heat and distance. There are a lot of unfenced roads in these areas , so cattle can be seen on the side of the road at anytime of day. During the day we saw kangaroos ,emus, small lizards, goannas, goats , brolgas and wild horses but managed to not hit anything other than a budgie! There is often a lot of road kill about and crows and eagles love this and are slow to get off at times. I'm making it sound bad, however we often saw nothing for many miles ( sometimes days) and its all part of the fun seeing these animals along the way!
“Interesting one” just adds to the adventure right⁉️😳🤣👍👍👍🥳
