    The Legend of the Billy Brownless Silo Kick: AFL Geelong forward Billy Brownless was on his way to a wedding in West Wyalong with a few mates in the late ‘80s. It was a stinking hot day, so the lads dropped into the Royal Hotel to freshen up. Brownless asked why the footy was behind the bar. The explanation prompted him to shrug off the effects of afternoon beers and, in his bare feet, boot the ball over the hulking cylinders. The celebrations forced he and his fellow wedding guests to miss the ceremony and a good part of the reception. Folklore surrounded this so Brownless returned to Mirrool, 600 kilometres north of Melbourne, for the inaugural silo challenge in October, 1992. The presence of Brownless was central to the event's initial success. Today , the Mirrool Annual Silo Kick Challenge is now held annually in October with $1,000.00 prize money. Yay Billy!! 👏

The miners each have a licence to dig and are limited to their own area, so they set up their own shops and displays. They don’t want you filming their layouts because they’re valuable mines.

    Hi, love your channel. I happened upon it with you picking up the new Mazda 4WD in Perth and enjoyed it so much, I went back to the start and binged my way through. The pair of you remind so much me of my wife and I, when we first toured Aus way back in the 1970's (many of the main roads, including some of the Nullabor, were still unsealed back then, but we drove 2wd anyway). We have visited practically all the places you have and it is so nice to see a young couple enjoying time on the road. With Tia's attraction to big things, I was surprised you didn't show Kimba's Big Galah in this episode? It is only 200 metres up the road on the same side and practically opposite the grain silos! Did you actually miss it? There you go, you'll have to do what some Aussies do after doing the Big Lap, turn around and go around the other way! All the best, looking forward to watching to the point where I catch up to the end of the Aus video. Bob n Glenda - Perth (we moved from Melbourne 1980 because after travelling the country, as you said "That's the place to be").

If I may offer some beginner driving advice, Always reverse with a window down. That way, if somebody is yelling and screaming, "Stop Stop, go forward!", You can hear them, and you don't continue to run over the child you couldn't see run behind you or other calamity awaiting your rear end! Even today, after 40 years of driving, I still reverse my window down just in case. It has save me a couple of times, even though people think I'm a good driver compared to most. Enjoy the 90mile straight again. P.S. Thanks for showing the silo art this time 'round.

    My brother in law was a police officer in Coober Pedy quite a few years ago. He left the force and mined opal there. He and the family lived in a dug out house. Usual front then leads into underground rooms. I stayed with them and in the dugout bedroom at night it was the darkest dark you can imagine. Absolutely no light, it felt “thick” like cut it with a knife. Totally disorienting. Unfortunate you did not see right whales on the the Bight section of your trip. Quite awesome.

    We used to go gold and opal prospecting for holidays as kids.. White Cliffs was where we went for opal, its the same white/crystal opal as Coober Pedy. (black opal, white opal, crystal opal, jelly opal, fire opal, hyalite, water opal, hydrophane and honey opal) We found a lot of bits on the "mullock heaps" as kids.. some really nice bits.. (mullock heaps are the dirt buildup around a mine) There are estimated to be well over 1 MILLION holes out there.. its actually quite dangerous and a big snake area too, so you have to be a bit careful.. I hand polished 2 stones (after 60 YEARS in a bottle) and we got them put into a necklace for our Mums 80th birthday.. Opal mining is cool, there are still people making money from it. And more than one fortune has been made while digging an underground home/extension. Thats a nice necklace for $65..

    I'm so glad she bought an opal!!!! I did the same, as an American coming to Australia - but I didn't know much, so what I bought was called a "triplet," which is basically opal dust re-formed against an obsidian backing. That makes the opal affordable. I suspect Tia got a triplet. My triplet is beautiful - having so many colours, really catches the light nicely. But I have a goal to get a real stone, Australian opal.

    I'm wondering why you guys didn't mention, or show any video of Kata Tjuta or Kings Canyon? 2 beautiful places. I'm glad that you stopped in at Coober Pedy to look through the mining area. A very unique town

    Hi Guys - if you are heading back across to WA - you should go out to Kalgoorlie - and from there out to a place call Lake Ballard (very cool salt lake with sculptures scattered on the dry salt bed - such a unique and breathtaking experience).

    A side note… In several working stints for a close mate in Sapphire, Anaki, RubyVale Central Queensland - Aka Gem Fields machine mining sapphires. I was fortunate to experience several mining positions in Gold and Opals. Fun Fact: in the 1880’s A town west of Winton in the middle of the never never was a bustling prospecting community of 600 where some of the best opal was discovered . One (log) in particular being 3 meters long 😮 incredible!! Boulder opal was the main kind of opals as it’s referred to. It was an experience for me and while I was sitting on an excavator eating a sandwich with a net over my face trying to enjoy every bite because so many damn flies! The Gold mining among the famous Rosewoods Fields central Queensland was another experience. The landscape in these three towns I’ve mentioned I guess a very similar to the landscape in Cooba Pedy where you stayed. These towns are like the Wild West when I worked there and I’ve recently gone back to work for a month or so in my mates mine… on his property I managed to catch some drone footage and from the air it’s just like the moon surface. A shame you didn’t throw the drone up in the air… 🤔😢 Anyway the video was still great for those people never seeing such Kinda remote landscape… When you go back to Australia you have to go west and yes hire a 4 x Keep the videos coming your content is interesting ✌🏻😉

    Hi guys, You don't have to back track all the way. When you get to Norseman, turn right and then right at the Kambalda turn off and then left to go to Kalgoorlie-Boulder City. Apart from the Superpit, there is a lot to see in the area. You will then pass through Coolgardie on your way to Perth so there will be no back tracking at all. Don't miss Kal........😁

    I get excited when I see there is a new video to watch! You have done so well - both of you and your darling Bluebird is doing well too! I visited Port Augusta a couple of weeks ago to go and see the giant cuttlefish at Point Lowly - so it was nice to see it again. You will likely notice that things are greener than they were when you drove over in the late summer previously. I don't know what I will do when you finish your Aussie road trip! Hearing the sounds of the galahs on this video was glorious - a truly Australian bush sound. Their call takes me back to evenings at my grandmother's farm on southern Yorke Peninsula. You know what a galah is right? Those large grey cockatoos with deep pink breasts, their name also refers to someone who is a bit silly. Looking forward to the next video :) x

    Loved the GIANT ant. I've been looking back over your travels prior to Australia and saw one that introduced Chevayo's family. You mentioned in the comments that all your sibling had Native American names too. Do you have Native American ancestry? Sad that you've almost finished my homeland, but you must come back for Tassie.
