WE GOT JOBS IN AUSTRALIA (10 minutes) 

I've just spent the evening binge-watching your Australia videos. I've lived in Australia my whole life and have travelled to most places you've been to so far and feel like I've definitely taken it for granted. It's truly a beautiful continent and you've given me a brand new appreciation for it.

The look of satisfaction on Tia's face every time you guys stop at a "Big Thing" and the look on Cheveyo's that is the equivalent of a face palm cracks me up so much!

You'll be fine if you stay on tarmac roads. DO NOT go on the dirt roads. That car will literally come apart on dirt roads in NT and north WA. I was one of the people who warned you to stay off the sand on the nullarbor crossing 'cos you'd get bogged - and you did! The northern crossing is WAY more dangerous offroad than the nullarbor crossing. The nullarbor is grand central station in comparison and not dangerous at all. Ive even ridden a motorbike across the nullarbor crossing - twice (I dont recommend doing that by the way, especially heading west: you really feel that headwind heading west)

Love the crushed avocado joke. You guys are definitely taking in more than just the scenery. For two people stuck together in a car for weeks, your smiles reveal your still having a great time. Loving the videos. You should have a travel show on TV.

I grew up in a market garden region of New Zealand and one of our favourite Saturday morning activities in season was to go to a farm and pick strawberries or raspberries or other berries to take home ( blackberries grew wild on the side of the road ) I recall vividly my little brother sitting on our dads shoulders at age 3 or 4 and the farmer asking my brother, “did you eat any?” (He always had berry juice on his face from ear to ear ). My brother would have a solemn innocent look on his face and say “noooooo!” My father would offer the farmer to pay for another 2pounds of produce but they’d both laugh and the farmer wouldn’t charge the extra. Every small child in town would be doing the same thing. “One for the bucket, two for me. Another for the bucket, another two for me”

I drove alone from Sydney to Broome (and back) in a Ford Laser in 2003. I was the only hatchback amongst utes and 4WD's the whole way. I'll never forget the looks I got from the kids outside a primary school in Halls Creek or maybe Fitzroy Crossing as I drove by - I may as well have been driving a spaceship!! The roads have surely improved in the last 20 years. You'll be fine.

5 ⭐️ for your prep👌🏽 You will be fine. The single lane blacktop can be a bit tricky but you’ve got the passing etiquette👍🏽 Apart from flood damage and roadworks, you will generally find the blacktop is better quality across the Top End. There’s less extremes of temperature so less expansion and contraction to crack the surface to let water/ice in. The bird at 14:18 is a Wedge Tail Eagle lifting off from feeding on kangaroo road kill. One of the biggest eagles in the world. Enjoy the Top End … it’s another world! Oh, one piece of advice … if you walk into the scrub, make lots of noise and watch where you tread. It is snake country.

Thankyou guys for being so well prepared. Australia has embraced you as honorary Aussies and want to make sure your ok. You're such a lovely couple.You'll be fine. I know you will enjoy the trip.🎉 My cousins have citrus orchards west of Bundaberg and hire backpackers to pick mandarins and oranges every year

you're going to have to do the Darwin to Adelaide highway on your next trip to Australia - Uluru, Katherine Gorge (maybe this is north enough that you'll be able to see it this trip, I don't remember, the underground town of Coober Pedy. And of Course the Blue Mountains, and the Inland New England Highway from Sydney to Brisbane. So much content for a second trip!

A huge proportion of the fruit picking industry basically relies on tourists coming on working visas and picking fruit as they backpack around. When Covid hit, fruit was basically rotting on the ground where it fell because there just weren't enough people to go pick it. Places like the one in the video are a great way to save fruit that might otherwise have gone to waste

My husband and I traveled around eastern Australia fruit picking. It was great and we met some wonderful people along the way. The work ranged in difficulty but we had a ball.

There’s nothing like sleeping under the stars, it’s simply beautiful being almost at one with nature. Enjoy the top end guys

krys is not a "big thing" it's a life size replica. the crocodile krystina pawlowski is sitting on shown on the sign is not krys the savanna king it's a far smaller crocodile. there is a photo of krys, and there's always contention about size but regardless it was measured and clearly it is a huge crocodile.

Glad to see you guys all packed up with tools, supplies, warm clothing etc... I think you'll be safe as there are now most likely thousands of pairs of Aussie eyes watching your amazing journey across the north. If you get in trouble just reach out here and help will be on its way... cheers.

If you are travelling to the Kimberley region, highly recommend you stop at Bitter Springs. Thermal, crystal clear waters, best to swim in between May and September, temperature about 33 celcius (91 Farenheit).

I'm absolutely loving your videos. Love the frequency and the length as well. Nothing better than camping and waking up to the stillness and the birds. You'll be fine on this trip, especially how you're staying on bitumen roads. I just wish you had a roo bar or atleast a bull bar. I'm not worried about the cars performance, I'm worried about the animals you could hit. I didn't see a jerry can with extra fuel, you need that. Also be careful walking into the bush with sandals on, our snakes are highly venemous and help can be far away. Can't wait for the next posts. I haven't been to Darwin, so I'm looking forward to seeing it thru your eyes.

Just a tip for driving on the narrow roads up north. Slow down, indicate turning left and get all of your car in the gravel section , that way the other vehicle has the hard top, that way you can save your car windscreen from stone chips or cracks. Have fun

The music in this one was spot on - idk what that 80s synth pop was but it was giving perfect road trip vibes!

Pro tip for avocados: when they are ripe, put them in a sealed bowl of water in the fridge. They'll keep for over a week.

Mate, my husband and I have done two round Australia trips in the last few years. Whilst outback travel is long and a bit isolated, you will be surprised at the number of people travelling. If something goes wrong, somebody will come along and offer help Aussies are friendly people. Also you will be travelling through larger towns Mt Isa, Charters Towers, Katherine .and lots of smaller ones and they all offer shops, fuel etc. But always fill up with petrol when you have the chance and minimise your chances of running dry. You need an eski and ice to keep those beers cold. You have some of the best travelling videos that I have watched. There is so much to see and you are triggering so many of my happy memories with your videos. Enjoy!

When we were travelling with our kids, we got the Kuranda Train from Cairns to Kuranda and got the Skyrail back down. One of the most memorable experiences we've had! The old style train was fantastic and you get a lot of history and info along the way. The Skyrail was awesome too but a bit nerve wracking for some of us.

That's why they are called Strangler Vines. Eventually they cover the entire tree and then the dead tree rots away on the inside leaving an incredibly big rainforest tree with a huge hollow in the middle of it.

Another day....another diverse landscape. Love how you appreciate the dry barren countryside as well as the lush tropical forest. It is very desolate from now on, but you guys have prepared and researched well and that will give you great peace of mind and allow you to really enjoy the adventures to come. First chance you get, try the chilli mud crab....OMG

Loving the longer videos, All of the big things are ridiculous or cheesy its the Australian way :D

you will be fine just dont try driving at night. very few fences , cattle, buffalo, wombats, camels , giant red roos. insects. in 74 me and my ex drove sydney to perth via darwin and broome then back to sydney, the bottom way. most roads were dirt gravel or sand. at one point we did not see anotther person or car for 4 days. my car was a 64eh holden wagon auto. had roofracks with 4 tyres a massive tool kit. 40 litres spare fuel , heaps of spare parts. heaps of water. it took us 2 years.. we worked in bowen, perth shepparton. 4 - 6 weeks in each place and got back to sydney with more money than the start. oh ya beware of emus they will run across the road without warning. i hit one , caused a lot of damage.

I’m glad you put our minds to rest, because my main concern wasn’t your ability to drive and take care of the car, but rather the route you were taking and whether the roads were sealed. Be on the lookout for animals on the roads and crocs near rivers. Don’t get closer than thirty feet to the rivers at the top end! God bless you both and give you a very safe journey. ❤️🙏🇦🇺

So weird to see the town my mother used to live, Mount Surprise, featured so specifically!

We recently drove Cairns to Adelaide. The Qantas Museum at Longreach is a great destination - you can do a cheapy breakfast tour too…

Come back to Victoria and visit Wilsons Prom, Phillip Island & the Yarra Valley!

Wow, you two have driven so far in blueberry almost without any real incident, so all the very best for the rest of your journey. 🤗👍...For USA viewers who think everything in Australia is out to kill or eat any tourist, could you dispel that rumour in a comment to say that travelling with care is safe for anyone...Please. 😇😜🤪👍😄

Mount Surprise, but there's no mountain. "That's the surprise". You guys are really picking up the Aussie sense of houmour🤩🤩

The reason why there are so many car parks is because people are visiting THE Daintree Rainforest - the oldest , prehistoric, rainforest in the world. I've been there, too, and have gone down into the valley and sat on a rock next to the rapids in the river and it was a glorious experience! The sky-rail gave a wonderful oversight of part of the rainforest. You were on the Atherton Tablelands which are cooler than the land below. There is a huge, stuffed crocodile in a Darwin museum.

OMG I’m so loving all your videos. Such a lovely, down to earth, humble, beautiful couple.

My Step Mums Uncle use to live in Kuranda, and had a stall at those markets. I've been very lucky to do the train and the cable car, It's very pretty there 😊

If you notice with all the termite mounds, they build them on an east-west direction to help ventilate the heat. The perfect example of nature evolving successfully to the environment.

The Big Potato is still undefeated IMO.

i really like how you show australia...it feels a lot like how i see it (as an australian) ...and yes...a lot of the 'big' things are craptastic...but that's their charm 😊

the cinematography just gets better and better each episode. that montage half way thru was amazing

We have a vine called a Strangler Fig. They climb and wrap around an established tree then the vine fuses together creating a new robust hollow tree. The original tree dies and rots away leaving the hollow.

The videos just keep getting better! You guys make me want to get a drone too, love the versatility in the videos! The more northern parts of Australia look so different 🤩

Safe travels guys, from Sydney

Darwin is the most different place I've ever been to - looking forward to seeing what you make of it. Sadly I discovered the food market the day before I left and it was incredible - best Singapore chilli crab I've ever had outside of Singapore.

Loving these longer videos 👍

With the wind farms, they spray a paint on the blades that poison anything in a ten metre radius, not even ants live under them. Plus the bird life is devastated too.

Tia is quietly hilarious. Every video I actually laugh out loud at something she says. Todays was the mount surprise quip. So witty 😂 Your videos are honestly the most soothing and beautiful way to start my day.

You guys are so fun. As many have said, your car will make it no worries. Hitting animals is more of a concern than break-downs these days, so definitely keep doing what you are doing, and stop before dusk. I was on a bus from Mt Isa to Dalby (basically the length of Qld) at night and we hit 9 kangaroos. The bus just kept on going... until it hit a plains turkey. That smashed the windscreen and we had to wait for a couple of hours on the side of the road till they could come along with another bus. Fun fact about those termite mounds. As you get further north, you'll see they become taller and thin, much like an apartment building. They build them so the length runs North-South. This is so that they warm up in the morning and afternoon with the east - west sun, but stay cool in the middle of the day when it's hottest, as the sun comes from the North / directly above them. And finally, there are vines that literally do kill the tree. Look up "Strangler Figs". There are some in a rain forest near my home that you can climb up inside, because they completely enveloped a grown tree, and the tree died and rotted away to nothing. (They grow in the same areas as Gympie Gympie trees. It's not just our animals that are killers. ^^)

The blue sky, the green trees, look so unreal. Are you sure you both not somewhere in paradise? Oh wait, Australia is the paradise.

Like #19 from Gilbert, Arizona!🎉❤🐨🦘🫐

A pub is a public house which usually has some rooms to rent as well as the bar for refreshments.

Pemberton, yay! One of my favourite places, although it gets bloody cold there at night! But it's worth it. 😊 ... ... and yeah, the last time there was a crocodilian species as big as that statue, there were still non-avian dinosaurs wandering around... 😜

You’re certainly heading bush now guys. I’m currently reading a book about Elspeth Beard who road around the world solo for 2yrs on her 1974 BMW motorbike back in 1982 when she was 23yrs old. Such a fantastic life changing adventure. Safe travels and enjoy the outback.

That croc statue looks a bit exaggerated but the photo also looks smaller than the one in Darwin museum his head is a meter tall and a meter wide..and pritty long go to croc Cove in Darwin city they got some big crocs and feed the little ones.

Just found your youtube channel. Love your videos on Australia. It's like reading a really good book, you just can't put down.

Comment just for support. You're doing a great job 🙂

Enjoyed this video. Fantastic. Well done on your continuing adventure~ Well filmed as well. The drone is adding an extra dimension for sure~ You both also seem very relaxed. And I think Australia has that effect on people when they begin to explore it. Loving the One Pack Wanderers! Keep the videos coming.. this is a fun journey~ Enjoy those mandarins!!

HUGE tip for getting (or not getting) fuel in the top end of Aus, if a tanker is filling the tanks at the servo when you get there, do not buy it if you can wait a day, it stirs up all the crap at the bottom and will at best only wreck your fuel filter in a heartbeat. Avoid at all cost.

I've seen an old polaroid from the 1970s, on the wall in a pub near Tully, of a croc crossing a road and the croc would have been bigger than your car, a proper dinosaur. You look well enough prepared to me for where you are at the moment for day driving. Very good idea to get off the road before dusk. Lots of bugs out that way, I found using a red light when camping didnt attract the mozzies. Also along the way ask where you can about any flooding and petrol availability in NT, its been raining alot up there lately. I've seen a sign saying "no fuel here" at a lil place where alot of people are starting to run out and that sign means - f... off. Good luck.

You guys are so lovely. Good on you planning the trip so well with Blueberry. That camping spot looked beautiful and restful. How funny that you always get the bird poop Tia. I wonder why that is!🤔 Maybe you are 'more at one with nature' 🤔🤔🤔😉😆🤗. I LOVE the croc!!! He is majestic. Cheveyo, your feelings on the Big things are extremely entertaining!! Whoever said "a look can speak volumes" must have seen your responses to Big things on a face back then! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

As always, stay safe. Your videos are amazing. Thanks for showing me so many beautiful parts of my own country that i myself haven't seen. You guys will be fine... blueberry is in great shape. Thanks for keeping it real...and being your true selves. Enjoy. Xo

I have visited Kuranda and did the train and sky rail and it was epic,well worth the money,but from now until you get back to Perth you will be taking me into virgin territory and i am exited to see what i have missed out on,and also where i might end up on my next visit to Australia,Cheers you two you are doing a great job.👌

Love your relationship ❤

Take the advice from some alarmists with a grain of salt. Outback highways these days are so well travelled if you breakdown someone will always be along. The only thing about the outback highways is that it was sometimes not advisable to travel too far off them because it's so flat in some parts it wasn't easy to find landmarks to guide you. Modern technology like GPS means you're not likely to get lost and it's rare now that anyone dies of starvation or lack of water in the outback when travelling by car. Visitor information centres or police stations are the first port of call if you're not sure and you would be used to the same thing when travelling in the US.

Thankyou for your enjoyable also educational Video's I am pretty sure many many AUSSIES have never seen what you are showing so I congratulate you both for showing us .

Ah Kuranda my home village, glad you got to see it :)

you guys sure have travelled some miles.....................nice to have you here. Travel safely and have fun

You need to buy head nets for the flies

Thanks for the reassurance! Now one last piece of advice: don't run out of petrol. But if you do run out of petrol, stay with your car. You cannot walk to anywhere, it's too far. About Australian pubs also being hotels: that's still very common and used to be nearly universal. I don't know whether the laws were intended to ensure a supply of accommodation for travellers, or whether it was a wowserish effort to reduce the supply of drinking establishments, but it used to be the case that (in, I think, all Australian states and before Federation, colonies) you could only get a liquor licence if you provided accommodation and meals. So the only pubs in Australia were hotels. (In some jurisdictions they were only allowed to serve alcohol after 6 PM to guests staying in their rooms or dining in their dining rooms.) Then in I think the Fifties or Sixties the laws were revised to allow "clubs" to serve alcohol to their members, members' guests, and people more than twenty miles from home - a provision that was easily exploited. It is only since the Eighties that various states have started issuing liquor licences to just plain bars (not attached to a hotel, golf club, bowling club, or RSL club). The Hotel Kempsey that you stayed in in Kempsey used to be a coaching house, before the railway reached Kempsey in 1917. When I was your age it was a popular drinking-spot, with two bars and a dining-room that performed as a restaurant. Now it is all but defunct, which is rather sad. Anyway, there are lots and lots of old hotels like that in bush towns and villages, which offer rooms and meals, but at which the main business is the public bar.

You are going to go through some of the most beautiful country in the world. It’s so unique, you will be blown away!

Fun fact, coming up soon Mt Isa and Iconic Australian underground mining center, just a few kms closer to Adelaide SA than to Brisbane Qld.

We are enjoying the longer videos !

Nailed the music .

Down here, just north of Sydney, we are paying $179.9 / L so the prices up there are relatively good. Just had a look and say if you were to go from Port Augusta to Alice Springs, you would be paying $250 + for the pleasure. 20 years ago, we paid $2.30 odd a litre going to Alice Springs.

Lovin this guys.👍😎 Gives me itchy feet to get out & see those beautiful colours again in the outback. ❤️ it. Kuranda was the one place I went to from Cairns for the day. ✌️

You must do a lot off editing as you guys can't be that happy all the time ❤❤❤❤❤❤

keep an eye on the weather there been a bit of rain out west qld, and road can get cut, plus the picture is a different croc there is no pic of the real croc and this had led to some scepticism, oh and the vine is killing the tree

The area where the wind farm was is so beautiful, with the green undulating land.

Fantastic vlog again, guys! Those drone shots are amazing and we all love your kindness and sense of humour!

LOVE your channel Tia and Cheveyo, such a beautiful couple and SO blessed to be with ea other for LIFE.💞💞 Enjoy seeing HUGE Crocs in Darwin Centre up CLOSE where you can go into a THICK glass 100% safe frame into the Croc's large clear space. OR the Adelaide River Cruise where they handfeed HUGE crocs. 🐊🐊 Congratulations on near 60K followers.👏👏Enjoy the rest of yr Journey's. Your both always so positive and upbeat. 💯👍

Thanks for showing us how you have prepared for the next part of your journey. The interior of your car is so neat and tidy. Love the drone footage. Amazing. Love the "big" icons Tia and Cheveyo you are perfecting that accent. Love your videos. 😍

Such a great part of Australia. Always warm all year and so much to see !

It’s even more incredible in the dry season ..the greenery is insane unique climate zone for sure

I sense a disturbance in the force. I think Tia and Cheveyo are falling in love with Australia! They seem so at peace and their relationship is clearly benefitting. What’s not to like?

Tia just loved that crocodile doesn't she ? that crocodile sure looks like it walked right out from jurassic park , Dynamic duo enters the out back , now that's the time to checked the socks and shoes for surprises in the morning before .. wearin them .. the funnel web spiders are notorious squatters

I’m really looking forward to seeing the next video. I’ve never seen this drive in Australia.

That waterfall at 7:22 is linked to the tourist-train that goes past. When the train is near, they release more water and halt the train to allow the passengers to take photos. Once the train has past, they reduce the water flow again for next time.

Wow that orange- colored road I love it very unique..

If travelling in the outback I always fill the fuel tank to the top because you never know if these is fuel at the next stop. Love the show

You two are going a way to Darwin I would avoid. I like your quiet calm way of doing videos, Your honesty is very refreshing. Yeah, don't drive at night. Blueberry will look a lot different after a kangaroo or cow encounter. You are traveling through gold and gem country going the way you're going. Have fun.

Kuranda is basically a tourist town that comes alive when a train from Cairns brings in the tourists and dies after they leave. It was my least favourite part of Cairns since it felt very artificial.

I have stayed at The Purple Pub a few times many years ago. Those termite hills get so much bigger.

Don’t be afraid to be honest about your experience- I notice you didn’t really enjoy the tea and that’s ok As a viewer I want to know the good and the bad parts of your trip I Love your work 😊

What about the fuel filter !!!Have u changed it??Good luck with the trip and have a good one,cheers!!

You will be fine on the roads you are planning to travel on; what’s important is when you need to get your left wheels in the dirt Slow Down, edges are rough and unpredictable, also by slowing down you reduce the risk of tyre sidewall and windscreen damage. Even though the distances are vast driving in the outback is more like an endurance race not a sprint. PS plenty of bigger White-ant mounds as you go north.

A couple of places worth stopping once you reach the Stuart Highway & turn north. Bitter Springs outside Mataranka. Wonderfully crystal clear hot springs. Perfect place to unwind after a long day on the road. Also, Edith Falls - north of Katherine. Stunning camp sites & croc free swimming! Enjoy....

You guys are amazing. Travelling vicariously through you and getting ideas for my ‘Grey Nomad’ lap. Love your attitude and appreciation for everything around you!

Thanks guys, great video!

Thanks for showing me my own Beautiful Country. (I need to get out more...)

I drove Darwin to Adelaide by my self 25 years ago - it was amazing to stop in the middle of the road, get out, and there were No people, No cars, No buildings visible in any direction.

Great job safe roads have fu

Safe travels ❤ I'm so keen to see how things go travelling the top half.
