Hi, Fantastic footage, especially with the throwbacks showing the usual heights of the river. You certainly had perfect weather and your choice of background music matched the apparent serenity of the river nicely. Well done.
Champion video coverage cobber........I still have memories way back a zillion years to similar volumes of water, but nothing seems then as good as your drone footage...fabulous. A big Wow as how the River Gums are going to respond to it all, and the ole Yabby and fishes are going to thrive. Love it. Cheers mate.
Simply spectacular. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures and footage with us. I'm hoping you will come down stream again soon. We have alot of great memories over many years in shacks along the river. This is really incredible to witness this once in a lifetime event. Keep shining! ✝️🕊️
Thank you for your kind comments. How far downstream are you referring to? We will be doing Mannum next weekend and possible Murray Bridge as well, not sure as to how far we will get.
Good start to the year Mick and Sally. Happy, safe and prosperous new year to you both. I agree with the comment by Andrew, the drone shots give such a great view of it all. Cheers Cheryl
Hi Mick, thank you for the wonderful update on what is happening along the Murray. I have such fond memories of camping with the family as a kid, along Kaiser Strip at Cobdogla in the 60's and early 70's
You are welcome. The Murray is such a large area and I am sure most of us have some memories that we will always hold onto. So hard to believe that so much water can even exist let alone flood the area like it has.
That was absolutely brilliant we must have crossed paths when you where up here ,any way keep up the great photography it,s just great too see the river form tne air .
Hi Mick. Great Video. Fell in Love with SA on a 6 week trip last July. Coming back again early April and hoping for warmer weather! We are watching your Videos to give us Ideas and tips! Keep up the good work! BTW love the way you show the heading on the Map!
Hi Mick. What a slow motion disaster. The drone certainly in its element giving an excellent overview. Strangely here in NZ there is very little news coverage on this event. Thanks for keeping us informed.
It is a disaster for those with homes along the river but it is also mother nature doing it's job. The river system will flourish from this flood event, just so sad for the human sacrifice that will occur during it all.
Happy New Year to you both. Thanks for sharing, great video as usual, having been to all the places and flown over them in the past it was very interesting seeing it from the drone view. Hope you have a great year
I spent much of my younger years water skiing and fishing at various places from Loxton to Goolwa and down to the lower Coorong. Lots of good memories. I knew I had found the right girl when she agreed to spend part of our honeymoon camped in the dunes at the 42 mile crossing. Looks like a lot of blue green algae has been flushed out of the Lachlan and Darling rivers. It will be interesting to see how the lower lakes and Coorong deal with it. With such a mild summer so far hopefully it won't get pumped into Adelaide's water supply to top up the reservoirs like norrnal. We might have to contemplate firing up the Lonsdale desal plant maybe. Cheers Eric
It always intrigues me how we something can be done to use of that water for future drought proofing, I'm sure environmental scientists would know. It be be ideal if Governments assisted. Love your Vlogs, always interesting and keep up the good work.
Hi Mick. Thanks for another great video. It must be devastating for all those 100s of property owners whose properties have been swamped. Makes you wonder if their houses will ever be able to be occupied again. Please give our very best wishes to anyone that you know who is in that terrible situation. As always best wishes from Rotorua.
Thank you for your good wishes David, they will be given as requested. It must be so hard for those who have been flooded to watch it all happen so slowly knowing that they can do nothing to reduce the pain.
I was born in Barmera in '74 (grew up in Loveday) Mum and that side of my family from Renmark - Dad from Cobby (Cobdogla). Learnt to swim in Lake Bonney. one of my besties lives in renmark north and when it was flooded the only way i could recognise renmark was locations like renmark hospital etc and the roadways had become rivers. I now live in Adelaide but go home at least once a year. can take a girl out of the country but cant take the country out of the girl.
Thanks Mick, that water took a long time to get down there Started up here in Queensland at the beginning of the year. Great drone footage. Did you learn how to fly it yourself or did you have lessons.
Cheers, glad you liked the video. As a kid I lived on a sheep station where the next station 30 miles away would ring us on the telephone to say the creek was coming down in flood, several hours later we would start to see the water arriving. All the drone work has been a learn as you go thing, no lessons.
Hi, 180 odd GL/day at the rivers peak. An olympic sized swimming pool is 1million L or 1ML, that is 180,000 olympic swimming pools/day. Over say 12 weeks, at an average of say 120 GL/d that is 10,080,000,000,000L. I used 75L/d for my domestic consumption in Adelaide last quarter, so 0.0000000625% of river flow over the period. I'm not a scientist, I'm an engineer, my 120 GL/d may be high but not that high. I'm sure I'll be corrected. I enjoy the content, keep it coming, cheers.
On another channel upstream they've been showing the water receding for days peaking a metre below predictions. The water is probably near its peak there
My family are the symens family we have a street named after us in Renmark and our family helped build the river land and look in the museum our story is their check it out if u been to Renmark
Looks gorgeous, you can almost forget how deadly it actually is . Serene even . If you showed with out lower level water footage it would be hard to believe. It looks so stunning. Hope all will be well and resume normality ( whatever that is ) . Hope you had a good Christmas and new year and may2023 bring us better luck.👍❤️🐾🫶
Hi,
Fantastic footage, especially with the throwbacks showing the usual heights of the river. You certainly had perfect weather and your choice of background music matched the apparent serenity of the river nicely.
Well done.
Agree . That music is perfect!
Thank you, yes the weather although very hot on the day, it was great for filming.
Thanks! Some great views there!
Glad you enjoyed it
Can't wait to see the rest of the places. Thank you & have a happy & safe year ahead.
Same to you!
Good coverage Mick and Sally
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Another great video. Thanks so much for showing us what it really looks like.
Thank you, thanks for watching.
Champion video coverage cobber........I still have memories way back a zillion years to similar volumes of water, but nothing seems then as good as your drone footage...fabulous.
A big Wow as how the River Gums are going to respond to it all, and the ole Yabby and fishes are going to thrive. Love it. Cheers mate.
Cheers, yes good all round for everything. Without the drone, we would only see a small part of it all, something that wasn't available years ago.
Simply spectacular. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures and footage with us. I'm hoping you will come down stream again soon. We have alot of great memories over many years in shacks along the river. This is really incredible to witness this once in a lifetime event. Keep shining! ✝️🕊️
Thank you for your kind comments. How far downstream are you referring to? We will be doing Mannum next weekend and possible Murray Bridge as well, not sure as to how far we will get.
Very good footage Mick makes us feel we should get our van on the road. Great coverage. Cheers mate 🍺🍷🇦🇺👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Great drone shots and beautiful country!
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Thanks for a great video. The drone footage is spectacular. Cheers
Thanks, the drone certainly makes it worth while.
Wonderful video and great camera work. This flood will remain in our memories for a long time..
Yes, you are right. It is great to see but so hard on those who are directly effected by it.
Epic thank you guys ;)
You are welcome, glad you liked it.
Amazing video! Thankyou for creating such great content.
Subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your SA adventures.
Thank you, glad you liked it. Working on another one this weekend which will include Murray Bridge.
Thanks Mick n Sally. Happy new year to both.
Same back to you.
Good start to the year Mick and Sally. Happy, safe and prosperous new year to you both. I agree with the comment by Andrew, the drone shots give such a great view of it all. Cheers Cheryl
Happy new year to you Cheryl, such lovely comments.

Thank you, hopefully you should have some great weather in April for your trip.
Great video Mick. Happy New Year to you and Sally and look forward to your next one :)
Same to you & thank you for your good wishes. Happy New Year to you.

Thanks Mick, we have traveled along that way quite a bit. Very interesting to see how it is now.
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy New Year to you both. Thanks for sharing, great video as usual, having been to all the places and flown over them in the past it was very interesting seeing it from the drone view. Hope you have a great year
And a happy New Year to you as well, glad you liked it.
Great job guys!
Thank you, it is a sight to be seen.

Thanks Eric, sound like you had better look after your lovely wife, she knows how to please you.
It always intrigues me how we something can be done to use of that water for future drought proofing, I'm sure environmental scientists would know. It be be ideal if Governments assisted. Love your Vlogs, always interesting and keep up the good work.
Wouldn't it be great if we could put that water into storage for later when it is so dry.
Hi Mick. Thanks for another great video. It must be devastating for all those 100s of property owners whose properties have been swamped.

The Riverland is such a great place to visit let alone live there🙂

Thanks and especially for showing the house boats. Had me baffled as thought they were houses., in really bad location
Cheers, all the best.

Thank you, more water than we can all get our minds around.
hi, at 1:22 minutes into this video, there is a man on the left wearing glasses, is it ross ingram? thanks
Great video
Glad you liked the video but you have lost me on the 1:22 scene.
On another channel upstream they've been showing the water receding for days peaking a metre below predictions. The water is probably near its peak there
Many stories going around at the moment. As long as no one is hurt by this flood event, the Murray will be the winner form it all.
My grandpa was roger symens and my mum is Joanne symens
It is great how pioneering people are honored with streets named after them.
My family are the symens family we have a street named after us in Renmark and our family helped build the river land and look in the museum our story is their check it out if u been to Renmark
We will have to have a look the next time we are stopping in Renmark.
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 definitely have a look you will see everything I’m saying is true plus my family well known in Riverland and Renmark
If only it looked like this all the time - and the caravan parks kept out of the river for good...
Would be great, for sure.
Have a great new year you 2 and me thinks a retirement might happen this year
All the best for the New Year to you. Our retirement will commence soon after the end of the current financial year, looking forward to it🙂🙂
Looks gorgeous, you can almost forget how deadly it actually is . Serene even . If you showed with out lower level water footage it would be hard to believe. It looks so stunning. Hope all will be well and resume normality ( whatever that is ) . Hope you had a good Christmas and new year and may2023 bring us better luck.👍❤️🐾🫶
Thank you Sassy, all the best to you for the New Year. So much water, its almost hard to get ones mind around it all.
My younger Sister lives at Waikerie, ... Happy New Year to you both
Happy new year to you.
