    When and if you get to Townsville, visit Magnetic Island, Guarenteed to see Koalas on the walks. Also there is a place where tiny Rock Wallabies come down to touching distance. Don't try to feed them bread. Plant material is what they love, and rose petals are great. Of course, you can also hire a horse ride at Horseshoe Bay which takes you into the water. Great memories.

    Bells Beach is so unique because the 1st break happens so far from the shore, because [It is said] there is a rock formation there that causes it. And it is also said there are waves there even if the sea in like a millpond and super calm.

    It's a pity that you didn't have the time to spend around the Great Ocean road. There is literally hundreds of fantastic spots just off the road, for example, 5 minute drive off the GOR there's a small Sequoia forest plated in 1936 that's over 200 feet tall. The amount over waterfalls would take weeks to explore, most picnic areas have Kookaburras that will almost eat from your hand. At nighttime you can visit Platypus and Glowworms that inhabit certain areas. Even Rudyard Kipling called the place paradise when he visited in 1891.

    How many nights would you reccomend?

    • @rach_mac
      @rach_mac 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would say at least 5 to get enough time to explore properly. The island is small enough that you can zig zag around instead of going in a circle if needed which is helpful if there are certain places you want to see with time constraints, or if the weather is better somewhere else on the island :)

    George tipped me off to your channel. So now I have to set aside more viewing to follow your adventures (and dramas). As coffee lovers & for the times when you're far from the better cafes can I suggest you look at the GSI Java Drip. I pack one when I travel because you never know when you'll encounter a barista who has no frickin' clue about good coffee, I''m talking weak, burnt & plain awful. BTW I was waiting for you to try out those tyre deflators do get the Trayon off (TrayonOFF 🫤). Safe travels.
