12 minutes? Whaatt?? We need more!!!

My wife and I went swimming in Tallebudgera creek where it goes into the sea. Lovely spot. But we found out a few weeks later that a Great White shark was caught at that area after we swam, and the chilling bit was that it was described as very hungry as it had been in the creek a long time 😲

Wow, you have such a beautiful rainforest in there! You never disappoint. Have a fantastic weekend, Katie!

Great adventure……glad you took us along. Those dragonfly larvae can get into a home aquarium and feast on small fish…..they can be a real nuisance in a heavily planted tank.

I'm from the USA ,and have been watching folks here that make similar content for quite a while. I'm so glad to finally be able to see someone outside of the US making videos doing things I love in places I would love to see. Thank You Kaity, for allowing me to see places in your country I probably wouldn't see even if I vacationed there. I can't wait till the next vid, Thank You again for wonderful content.

is your specimen container glass? if so that seems pretty dangerous for taking on even short hikes, if you tripped or slipped, that could be the end of Kaity😢! what about just a small clear storage bin from Kmart? it's just the Mommy in me that has me concerned..., its not a problem until it's a problem and someone is bleeding profusely from an artery...😮

That spot under the bridge at syndicate road is the same spot I go to every time I go fish trapping. It’s usually a really good spot, but I think with all the rain lately the fish have been washed further down the creek

Kaity! You gotta put those Crocs in 4 wheel drive mode so you don't slip!

Top quality drone footage 👍🏻 It must have been wonderful (and emotional) to see your childhood home again.

From USA. Been to Aussie east coast multiple times but your videos add a whole new dimension that we did not experience. The drone shots, traps, your monologues...they're all great !!

Love your passion for the hobby and the amount of time and effort you put into your videos. Keep up the good work. 😃

Nice drone shots. Love the video. You never know what you might find.

We do the same thing here in the USA (Florida). We also have mosquito fish which I caught and kept in an aquarium. Those things breed like you wouldn’t believe. I had tons of fry after a few months.

Lovely seeing some of the nature and wildlife in the hinterland of the gold coast. Also loved the drone footage! so awesome!

Australia is really a beautiful country. I love this country from Darwin to Melbourne😍😍

I love the little observation tank. Great job! 😊

Awesome video, Ms Kaity! You beat the uploading obstacles! :) The drone footage is looking really good!

Very cool ❤

G'Day Katie. We are indeed Blessed by a Young Lady who is so Enthusiastic about that which you do & it rebounds onto us who watch on. Great Video. I remember going to places for Hiking in the Lamington National Park where their are some great walking trails & being Rain Forrest type like that you were in & really not that far from The above spot I guess. Some beautiful Scenery & lots of little streams & once or twice just carried a scoop net with me & threw it in & the Fish were Amazing & very healthy looking but I guess that's got a lot to do with that fantastic Environment. I go there about twice a year with mates & we have been to the wreck location of the Stinson Plane which is pretty much all rusted away now but their is a plaque there in honour of those who Died & The Head Rescue Hero being Bernard O'riely. Staying at Lamington National Park in a Bungalow is Very Relaxing after a Good Long Walk. Beats Flying any day & it's a good escape from just that. Only concern is the Numbers population wise of mostly Red Bellied Blacks in these types of areas but I know a Lady in the RFDS & she gave me Anti Venene for Both Red Bellied Black & Brown Snakes because you never know & their in my Backpack along with that of other First Aid for such a case of it happening & for other First Aid etc because you just may come across someone who needs Help big time. Always good to have a Personal Locater Beacon & Good Two Way Radio as Mobile Phones are not that Good in these types of Locations, Lots of Black Spots. The Fish you caught look really healthy as well so testimony to the area & it's Sustainable Environment. Your Videos do Capture the Essence of a Good & Fun packed way of Exploring our Diverse Eco Systems & Landscapes & it's so Cool and also very well Narrated . Sounds like Just a Touch of Private School in your voice as I did through Mt. Maria College at Mitchelton. We had a Brother there who used to be a complete Nut Case for going out and catching snakes for Milking & he was our Biology Teacher & a group of us would go with him during School Holidays & do just that, Set traps & catch snakes, The mad Guy. It was then that I got Interested in Scoping out the Local Creeks in the area & finding some really Great Assortments of Fish & all very Colourful & Healthy looking. I didn't take to many home for my first Aquarium set up and would release the rest. Really Cool Video & Excellent Value especially for showing Overseas Fans. Speaking of which I have a long flight to the USA tomorrow so better go. You Look After Yourself Young Lady & don't do anything I wouldn't. Keep up this Great Chanel of Yours. Cheers John

I’ll bet that whole area is gone during the wet season… I’ve spent over a year in Australia and some supermarkets proudly show newspaper clippings showing there isles flooded with Crocs in there..🤣🤣.

Watching a new interesting video with your perky and sunny disposition is nice after a crummy day. 😊 I'm learning things about Australia I didn't know. Like that Australia has actual tropical rain forest. Thanks for showing these things. That looks like a really cool place you grew up in. I saw what you posted about it on Instagram too. You need to buy it and move back in. 😀 Oh, that thing you captured on the video was Nessie. That's why they haven't been able to find her in Scotland. She moved down there where it's warmer.

Very enjoyable. What a beautiful area.

Love the video! only thing I would say is careful being out there alone. Stay safe!

2:32 kind of looks like the head of a python. They are quite common in creeks and streams, especially when the waters are up a little bit from all the rain.

That was a really cool video! Really enjoyed seeing the species you were catching in the traps, the shrimp was pretty cool too, looked a bit like an Amano shrimp even! Have you ever thought about building another native species aquarium down the line for the smaller species like those gudgeon? Definitely wondering what the other fish you got on camera was if that was some kind of eel or catfish, shame there was a bit too much colour in the water to get a clearer view of it! I do a bit of underwater filming and have posted a couple of videos on my channel and have found water quality has a huge impact on what you can see! Need to do some more this year, went down the gravel pit I fish at last weekend and saw tonnes of roach, perch and bream fry in the margins, plus some really big carp so need to do some more filming soon!

Another cool vid. I like the out-and-about catching fish ones since that's what I like to do as well. Indeed invasive mosquito fish that you tagged. For future reference they are meant to be "disposed" of and not returned to the water. The gudgeon may be Cox's gudgeon based on the spotty stripe. Some I find confusing to tell apart so don't quote me on that :) You should consider a shrimp tank! Caught some today myself and need to work out where to put them since my tanks are full...

I would so love to go fish collecting with you. Reminds me of my childhood growing catching all kind of critters as a kid.

I reckon the large fish at 7:54 was some kind of mullet, maybe Pinkeye Mullet? One theory as to why they jump is predator avoidance so there might have been a bull shark! 😱The large visitor at 11:04 looks to be an Intermediate Egret.

2:30 my opinion Could a number of creatures from semi-aquatic, terrapin,salamander, eel, catfish, any giant muskbrats, snappingnturtle or maybe 🤔 💬💬💬 just maybe any form of coastal small shark(s) keep in mind even the late Steven Irwin seen a few small sharks in "up stream rivers" and tributaries that divide brooks, lakes, ponds and oceans ..

Most people in the states think crocs are everywhere down there and are going to kill you. Please educate us.
