A very nice ride. I'm in the Cycle touring club of WA so interested about your experience youtubing club rides. What editing app and music library do you use?
I was using Adobe Premiere Rush at first but after switching to the Mac M1 Mini I have been using iMovie which comes with it. I do need to get a better range of titles but have subscribed to Epidemic Sound for copyright-free music. I also need to investigate using Davinci Resolve, but it has proven more complex than iMovie.
Love this thank you, we have ridden from Bairnsdale to Bumberrah - going to tackle from there onwards on Thursday- was a bit worried about the descents but this gives me hope! Haha
Lovely video. You live in Central Vic, I live in the Goulburn Valley and we are both lead to believe we live in a Temperate Climate...but a trip to the Daintree soon makes one realize we live in a Desert does it not!?
Ugh-! Lousy roads!! Wouldn't go on them in my car, let alone touring bikes! Great video though proves Kanga Isle isn't always blue sky, gentle breezes and ripped 'roos!!
The roads were actually in very good condition and great to ride. Limestone-topped hard cap, fast rolling. Much improved from what they were in 2009. We have often had blue skies in September, but also rain and most often strong winds as well.
Great Vic is going that way Saturday 25th Nov .Orbost to Wanthaggi..Thanks for sharing....😊.I thought the music for the first trestle bridge was most appropriate....
My wife has a Giant Sedona '93 MTB frame, converted for touring. Mine is a Thorn Nomad Mk2 expedition touring bike. Both are running Rohloff 14-speed gear-hubs.
We saw no cattle at all on this stretch. It was the earlier section (3 days prior) through Glen Gordon Station that had wandering cattle, but they always just ran away.
Yep, this one was particularly BAD as it is the only road north to Port Douglas and Cooktown, and it was prime tourist season - Dry season and school holidays.
You are correct, but not entirely. Europeans have also destroyed vast swathes, in a much shorter time-span. "When Māori arrived, about 1250-1300 CE, they burnt large tracts of forest, mainly on the coasts and eastern sides of the two main islands. By the time European settlement began, around 1840, some 6.7 million hectares of forest had been destroyed and replaced by short grassland, shrubland and fern land. Between 1840 and 2000, another 8 million hectares was cleared, mostly lowland or easily accessible conifer-broadleaf forest". teara.govt.nz/en/interactive/11674/deforestation-of-new-zealand
Hi, I live in Scotland. What is going on when people in Western Australia are not looking at you're super stuff, about riding about Australasia. Lots of people out there and here just dont know what they are missing. Keep up the good work, its only a matter of time. My sister went to Australia in 1967, she came back for six months, early 70's, made the right decision and went home to Australia, she is still there with three grown children. God bless you all.
Hey there, three of us biked the Hakataramea from Kurow two weeks ago in sunny hot weather. We turned right on the other side in the McKenzie Basin, and then headed back over McKenzie Pass to a place called Cricklewoood near Fairlie, making it a big day, part of a 13 day Bluff to Nelson tour. We had to be careful hooning on the downhills in gravel, and one of our party took a fall a few days later ultimately needing 4 stitches in his left arm before riding Hanmer to Rainbow Valley. We saw 3 dead wallabies on the roadside while riding the Haka, presumably shot by farmers coming across them on the road at night. It is very big country out there!
@@petesig93 The Hanmer-Rainbow-St Arnaud ride was fabulous, a big day but only half the length of Molesworth and a lot more scenic and interesting, according to 3 groups I talked to. There's just the rivers (Clarence then Wairau), mountains, no trees or buildings and only the gravel road and power pylons (it's the corridor for the Nelson/Buller transmission lines, built in the 1950s). Definitely a summer-only ride, as Island Saddle at the halfway point is impassable in winter.
The range is no great limit (in open country it can go to about 7-10km I believe). The main limiting factor here was the forest of trees and the legal requirement for VLOS, not to mention that I do not want to lose the drone.
Expedition to parts near Castlemaine for a special shoot focusing on some historical sites is planned for the near future. DJI RC Pro controller arriving tomorrow to improve flight functionality 👍
