The expression on Cheveyo’s face anytime he talks about Australia feels both mystical and also proof of quantum entanglement. So many of us would love it if they continued the exploration of Country for another twenty years or so, no matter how long to short their stay ends up being there will always be a piece of their souls here and we are so lucky to have seen Oz through their eyes.

Kakadu is probably one of the most awesome places on the planet, and your response echoed mine. The place is so warm, so genuinely wild, so saturated with colour, so alive with creatures, with the faintest carboniferous smell. If a dinosaur walked out in front of you, it would seem completely unsurprising. I guess the crocs represent them. I was first there when it was not yet well known, while training some people at Ranger Uranium for a few weeks. I had a free weekend and asked people where I should go. Virtually all said things like, "you have to go to Ubirr, it will change how you see everything'. It seemed such an odd thing to say. The moment came when I knew what they meant. Walking past such ancient rock art, then standing on top of that rocky outcrop and looking out over that vista you shared gave me the strangest of feelings. The iridescent green, the big rocks sticking out like unlikely icebergs. The smoke drifting up from the seasonally natural fires. Bids cavorting overhead, and the occasional animal moving across the wetlands. But much more than that, you realise you are looking at a scene that has been gazed upon for millennia, by thousands of generations of people. You can almost hear the people's voices and the laughter of their children. And sometimes some of the locals are still there doing exactly that. For all that it's not just a First Nations thing, its gives an intense sensation of a common shared humanity, and how insignificant yet precious your own little life is in the grand scheme of things. I don't know any other place in the world that has that.

You two young people are have crossed the threshold. You are both sensing the spirituality of this ancient land and now realize how powerful it is, rare for visitors. You are expressing it in a profoundly beautiful way as you succumbed to allowing the natural rythm of the land to take hold, that's the hidden key of a true Australian experience. Now you will understand what we as Australian's mean when we say this land is special. Having now tuned in to what we feel you will understand why we have a very different attitude to freedom and what it means to the spirit of our sovereign nation. True blue Australians culturally are not Europeans, nor Asian, nor American's, we have our own culture and it's very special in this troubled world. Peace and prosperity to all.

Screw palm (Pandanus spiralis) is Kakadu’s most common pandanus species. These pods turn bright orange as they ripen and are a favourite food of sulphur-crested cockatoos. The tree’s large clusters of woody nuts contain seeds that can be eaten raw or roasted. variouse parts of the plant have medicinal values.

I know what you mean when you speak of Australia feeling "magical". There is something truly sacred about our landscape. It hums with an ancient tone. It is this very thing that makes me most proud to be Australian, that I live amongst this sacredness and feel a constant connection to that resonance. I get to be a part of it and call it home.

Cheveyo, you know Aussies are united behind Tia when it comes to Big Things, so you're on your own 😂 Glad you're seeing some of the amazing Aboriginal cave art & so much of our Great Southern Land 😊
One of the best. Not just the scenery, but also the storytelling. Thank you.
If you are heading to Port Augusta consider a detour to Lake Gairdner - a dry salt lake 160 x 50 km that is incredibly scenic. Unlike other dry salt lakes, it is surrounded by rust red hills which makes it great for photography including drones. Take a hike out on the surface and it's like being on another planet. You can stay at Mt Ive Station with facilities or free camp at Waltumba Tank Campground.
The reverance Tia and Cheveyo hold for the Australian land, T's awe over the paintings, the way C has such a deep connection and respect for these old Aboriginal places makes me tear up a little. Every member of my family is well travelled throughout Australia. I've never been interested, but instead I've always headed overseas. These videos have completely changed my perspective on travelling in Australia so a very sincere thank you goes out to T & C. 🥰 And regarding the word Billabong, have you guys heard Waltzing Matilda or read any of Banjo Patterson's work?
The look on Cheveyo’s face at the Big Boxing Croc - priceless! Tia’s new hat looks great! Respect for the respect you show for the land and Indigenous culture and history! It’s also turning out to be the Australian sunset tour - can never see enough sunsets!

Tia your childlike enthusiasm for the Big Things is so infectious. It is perfect ❤
Hi. Close, Tia. Very close actually. Billabong is a hole in a river that is left behind when a river itself is seasonal (wet and dry) and dries in the dry season leaving it behind. It can also apply to an ox bow cut off through the same seasonal/climatic process. Nice Vid. Cool part of the country. Glad you're enjoying it.

Billabong: As a river meanders across the land, it comes up against rocks and trees that change its course. Consequently the rivers form lots of U bends. Over time, the flow of water increases and the neck of the U shape is eroded through, altering the river’s path so it’s straighter, leaving the U shape cut off and it forms a pond or a Billabong.

My favourite drink when traveling through the Outback is fresh brewed, hot billy tea. The billy is a large tin can fitted a fence wire handle. A small fire on the ground, or a gas burner, depending on conditions. Put the billy on until it boils. Add loose leaf tea, and after a couple of minutes give it a good stir. I would then pour the hot tea into a mug through a tea strainer, add a heaped spoon of sugar, stir and drink. Aussie folklore dictates that instead of using a strainer, you swing the billy of hot tea in a vertical circle to force the tea leaves to the bottom of the billy. But I have an aversion to second degree burns. And hot tea, even in hot weather, works for me.
You really showed the magic of Kakadu, and your respect for First Nation's artefacts is commendable. I'm in Belgium at the moment and missing the sounds and sights of home and also from when we toured Kakadu. Did you see the Thai cafe near Cahills Crossing (is it still existing)? Travelling tips for going south. Maybe you're on your way to Kings Canyon via the Mareenie Loop road by now? Check out Ormiston Gorge or Palm Valley on the way (depending on the route you take.) I suggest going down the Oodnadatta Track after Marla on the Stuart Hwy. Accommodation/camping at Oodnadatta, William Creek, Coward Springs, Maree, Leigh Creek. Do a side trip to Kati Thanda (Lake Eyre), camping available and a real Luna(r) landscape. Then head into the Flinders Ranges via Brachina Gorge (camping). It's a geological time trail going back billions of years. Check out Wilpena Pound, and you're on your way to Port Augusta. Safe travelling.
Something interesting about Kakadu. There always seemed to be a fire nearby. What I learnt is that the Wedge Tail Eagle, which is prevalent in the NT, will pick up sticks from fires and drop them somewhere else so that it will drive out prey animals. I've seen plenty of Wedge Tail's above fire fronts looking for for their next meal.

Actually, this behaviour is more commonly seen from Black Kites, Whistling Kites and Brown Falcons, to the extent that these are colloquially known as Fire Hawks. Black and Whistling Kites are also far more common than Wedgies. As far as I know, Wedgies are not known for this behaviour.

You really nailed this video. Its a beauty. At last proper head wear, now we just have to work on the foot wear. Love your respect for our country.
I was camping at Yulara, and I was checking out a crow who landed on a guy rope of tent next door, on that rope, the people had tied a plastic bag full of plastic clothes pegs. The crow was curious about what was in the bag, poking his beak and taking a peg out of the bag and dropping it to the ground, l watched him take out all pegs and drop them to the ground. People came back to camp, scratching their heads why they the bag was empty 😂.
Always wonderful to hear your perspectives of this country. And see the joy that Tia gets from the big things. One of your best videos yet. Thank you and safe travels! (Oh, and go-to drink on the road? Bundaberg Ginger Beer!)
Great work you two. Showcasing this beautiful ancient land. Nice cold water for me in between coffees.

Hi kids. You don’t normally see the crocs in the wild unless they need to sunbake to elevate their body temperature. They are ‘ambush predators’ - so they observe the place where animals frequent at waters edge and patiently wait for the optimal moment to launch an attack. They observe behavioural patterns of prey so one should never go close to waters edge at the same place.

Being NAIDOC week this video really highlighted to me the power and beauty of the land. I too have done some travel and agree, there is something so unique about middle Australia, specifically the inland regions where you guys are that has this sort of energy unlike anywhere else. The first nations people really looked after the land, so much so you can feel them there. PS nearest aldi is in Townsville, if you two get a chance carnarvon gorge in central Queensland has some real incredible Rarrk paintings and where clans have come together thru their Dreamtime ceremonies (almost vision Quest like).

Best drink on the road are Dare Ice coffees for us. The stronger the better. Accommodation prices in the NT for this time of the year are outrageous. $177 a night is considered cheap at the moment. There are plenty of crocs around on the way out to Kakadu. Those fisherman are crazy. I used to work out in Jabiru, at the Ranger mine. Those aboriginal rock paintings are interesting. Those rivers flood a lot in the wet season and many people get stuck in their cars halfway across, those crocs are a real danger. Crocs have been found on beaches in Darwin and at the various Springs on the way out of Katherine.
I love seeing my home through new eyes! thank you x Tia for scale :)
So glad you both have hats
Another fantastic video of parts that a lot of Australians do not have the opportunity to experience especially through your enthusiastic eyes. As Australians we often take them for granted. Tip for Teo, when I managed A Holiday Resort in Cairns, I told overseas visitors to keep your passenger in the gutter and you are on the correct side of the road. One of the most dangerous roads for this was to Port Douglas, overseas tourists heading North would pull over to a scenic lookout on the right. When leaving they would forget to go over the far side and with so many bends, to see a car heading towards you on your side was frightening.
Love the photography including the drone footage, well managed. Thank you keep enjoying our country
Is it just me or these two are making you want to go road tripping? To ensure I’m on the right side of the road I’d normally wear my watch on the side where I should be driving to avoid confusion. If you ever been to Palau, you know what I’m talking about. Fav road trip drinks soda water or coconut water. Safe travels guys. Great video as always! Thank you. Sending you ❤ from Perth.
Guys Kakadu is amazing Ubir rocks and the 2nd rock shelter that you visited are special places but the highlight for us was the sunset cruise on the Yellow Waters billabong. I imagine its pretty pricy nowadays because it wasnt cheap 10 years ago. In Katherine a cruise or even a hike at Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) and the hot springs in town are worth visiting the problem this time of year is that they are also very popular with tourists. The fridge in our caravan is usually full of food and the fridge in the car is full of drinks including water, Coke no sugar. Pepsi Max, Great Northern and a few varieties of Bundaberg soft drinks. If you are into Lemonade Tia Bundaberg traditional lemonade is more like a US style lemonade and similar to a lemon squash that our parents would buy us if they visited a pub. You asked before about what is peoples favourite road msuic - I put a lot of our favourite albums onto thumb drives I think we fit something like 2000 tracks on each drive. I plug into the usb port in the car and play it through the cars 10 speaker sound system. We can play individual albums but what we normally do like on our recent half lap is select play all put it on random and for 1000s of kms you rarely hear the same thing twice (unless you want to). A lot of people dont like Kakadu because of the distance between the so called highlights but for us thats not a problem we also enjoy the vast landscapes that stretch away to the horizon and the sense of remoteness that it gives you.
Once again a great video. Absolutely love the drone shots...best thing you guys have purchased. Also loving the accent Cheveyo and Tia please keep finding all the big stuff I never knew existed.

That is an AWESOME series! I've watched it twice. Might have to go back for a third run through.
I can only chuckle at your opening… Cheveyo’s eye roll is next level. And then about billabongs; check out the lyrics of one of our national songs, Waltzing Matilda- the legend of a suicidal, sheep stealing, wandering hobo.

Im not sure what version you know but the song waltzing matilda is the story of thieving, being caught and then put to death by the Troopers (1,2,3). Keep in mind, the sheep was owned by a wealthy land holder

The song was inspired by events relating to the shearers strike of 1891. Hoffmeister was the leader of a group who set fire to a shearing shed. He was later found dead at a shearer's camp near a billabong. The police finding was suicide from as single gun shot to the mouth. I heard a story (unverified claim) many years ago that suggested the shearers had done him in so the police would find him and not follow them.

Putting it that way is somewhat alarming. But accurate!!!
