Thanks for answering my question. I think you misunderstood when I said "leave the hat", I meant leave it alone, don't upgrade or change it because it suits you perfectly. Love the show. 🤠
Toombul shopping centre has come to a end unfortunately 😢 After the floods in 2022 they decided to close it due to damage from the flood water. It’s so sad for me I have many memories of Toombul and it’s sad to see it go. What ever they put there will never be the same.
Nice. Agree. Visited my Grandmother in David Street, Toombul from Sydney for many school holidays. Was there for the '72/3? floods. The creek was a Kilometre wide. Vivid memories of lizards, spiders and all sorts of wildlife on a nearby telegraph pole. My cousins still reckon I bring the rain when I come to visit!
Big thumbs up rob. I've learn't a lot of history and know more about the area's from Walkabout with rob. Can't believe rob walked past me at Toombal, I was 3 mins away and could of walked.
There were bush rangers in se qld/ne nsw. There is an overhang where they hung out on the border in the Numibah valley. I can't recall the names, but did the walk along the border with a school group to their hideout a coupla decades ago. Who love to know more.
Would be great to see you up on the sunny coast, some really interesting stories up here that do tie into greater Brisbane as well. Mooloolaba would be a great spot with its old timber mill and port
I used to live at Holsworthy during the Eighties. Among the Barbarians in NSW. 3RAR( paratroopers), we moved from Woodside outside Adelaide in 1981. Chilly in SA, more chilly in Moorebank and Liverpool during winter, now chilly up here in Two Head City(Ipswich). Getting old. Anyway, when you first said something about going to the Motherland, I immediately thought Holsworthy, where you once said you grew up. Could not believe that virtually everyday, I used to drive past the messy house on the garbage covered block on the corner of Moorebank Rd. where Ivan Milat and family lived. Used to drink at Viking Tavern where the bikie massacre took place. Loads of history. Cheers.
Hey rob any chance you could include your walking route. Many of the walk look great for a wheelchair & it can be difficult to find wheelchair accessible routes to explore
I hope your feet have recovered? I was binge watching your videos after discovering your channel, long before your U.K. trip...and now, have had the pleasure of working with & meeting you. Life can be awesome! 👍
Wow, i spent the last three years caretaker at my mates sheep property on the Olio-Muttaburra road. Lots of dinosaurs and history out there. I have access to modern Shearer's quarters if you needed somewhere to work from
Well done Rob, you deserve a nice cold ale!. As an aside, did you do adds for BCF camping?. If you didn't you have a doppelganger . Love your work, cheers from Canberra...
Great question and ☝️dude me too 3:00 , when i went to the uk and America i was too young 🤓 to appreciate some of the finer things… mind you , it was really great to do at the time … police helicopters and riots 🤠 hoards of homeless people with shopping carts … we are very lucky here in Australia
Ringing a bell if you're just passing someone on a bike is a terrible idea. The bell on a bike should be used like the horn on a car: to warn of actual danger or to tell someone off if they're doing something irresponsible or dangerous. If they're just walking in a straight line and keeping left on the path, using the bell can actually _create_ danger unnecessarily because people act very unpredictably to it.
@@JimCullen , that used to be the rule for riding bicycles. But after quick look on the Dept of Transport website, I can no longer see any reference to it.
@@chuckanoo1455 it's never been a strict *rule.* They used to recommend cyclists use their bells, but they seem to have come to realise what a dangerous and harmful recommendation it was, so they're no longer pushing that recommendation. You'll still find it on some older signs on some shared paths, but I think newer signs don't say it either.

Sorry Andrew, I really did misunderstand your comment and didn't know it was you. Yes indeed, the hat will remain the same!

Would be great to see you up on the sunny coast, some really interesting stories up here that do tie into greater Brisbane as well. Mooloolaba would be a great spot with its old timber mill and port

Rob, you probably know this already but shirts and trousers in linen or seersucker fabrics are great in the heat.
Keep up the good work! I find your videos interesting.

I went to Holsworthy High School, but grew up in Moorebank. Didn't know about the Ivan Milan connection.
Thanks for your charity support

Sure can! Feet feeling much better as I got to rest them on the cruise.
Oh; have you got and come back already?
@@SteveMack yes got back Sunday
@@walkaboutwithrob Oh ok. 👍
Can recommend a visit to Winton for Dino exploring. Loved the town (lots of history) and district.
ABC has a great special on explorers on TH-cam great information
Wow, i spent the last three years caretaker at my mates sheep property on the Olio-Muttaburra road. Lots of dinosaurs and history out there. I have access to modern Shearer's quarters if you needed somewhere to work from
Well it sounds like it’s time you bought a new pair of walking shoes (long distance) yep that hat is irreplaceable!
Great video. The Q&A was nice
Q&A? Did I miss something?
Should have listened to the whole video first…..lol
@@Robert-xs2mv I doubt it. I'm referring to his answering of viewer questions while he walked.
great video! a bit of a different one but very good
Would you come up to townsville and do a history walk around ?
Well done Rob, you deserve a nice cold ale!. As an aside, did you do adds for BCF camping?. If you didn't you have a doppelganger . Love your work, cheers from Canberra...
I'll take a look at BCF adds. Thanks!
This is the most walk about with Rob.
Actually the walk I did from Beenleigh to Southport was longer.
Well sone Rob, that walk was bit like the bridge to brisbane but with more time up your sleaves
Look forward to the 25K video.... lol
Oof, it looks like i missed out on the Q&A thing where you asked for questions, Ive been sick.
Wish you walked slower! We started later (the 4500s) would have loved to said Hi. So I'll do it here 😀

Question?
Did any of those bike riders who passed you from behind ring any bells are sound any warning devices as they where coming up to pass you?

The bell on a bike should be used like the horn on a car: to warn of actual danger or to tell someone off if they're doing something irresponsible or dangerous.

Under an hour gang punch your tickets by liking here👇
I was about to jump on and say something about the movie. Well played ha ha
You getting excited Robarino? 🍻
I've heard those amber coloured eye shades are good for night driving. Have you found that to be the case?
Not as yet. Actually never thought about wearing them at night...
👍👍
12:12: isn't a _soup kitchen_ a soup kitchen for the homeless?
Can you do Wacol? Might be a bit of a walk.
I already have th-cam.com/video/RxE4mLwM5dA/w-d-xo.html
@walkaboutwithrob great!! I watch right now. Currently doing some work in the area.
I remember seeing a picture of Sherwood Forest just a tree stump
it's quite a large forest still.
How many kms was the walk ?
I think he said 35 KM...
Thank you
No one walking in a Gorilla suit? Disappointing.
😂
Rob I would like to invite you to ep5 of my podcast that doesn’t exist yet
I think I'd rather take the car....
God thats a bloody long walk
