Australia😍❤️
Has wonderful nature & people!! 😍
Best country on planet earth- so much to explore💙
Spectacular nature view
Thank you so much!! :D
wow! there are so many things to see from Melbourne to Adelaide. enjoyed it very much. Great upload!
Yeah, I wasn't expecting it!! Thanks so much, were stoked you enjoyed!!
The penguins tend to wash up on great Ocean Rd and any surf beaches after they die in the water, could be injuries or old age etc as well
That’s good to hear it may have been from natural causes! We were so worried!
thank you for a virtual walk with you to see the city of Melbourne and also the city of Adelaide. a bridge over the sea with views of high rocks etched into sea water. very beautiful
Ahh thank you!! So happy you enjoyed them!!! :D
Poor penguins 🐧!!! Beautiful views, loved the apostles and the wild emu was cool.
The penguins were so sad!! :(
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad there were some fun parts to make up for the sad ones!
Great video, my friends! Thanks for sharing! like 18
Thanks so much for watching and your kind comment!! :)
This was super awesome! ❤️ Loved it and love you guys!
Thank you!!! I know it was long but I feel like it would have been boring split into parts... it really needs the whole thing!!!
Love you too!!
This is sooo fun!
Thank you!!! We had a blast!!
This is such an epic road trip! The water, and cliff and rock formations, and forests are all amazing. The historic wharf at Port Fairy looks delightful. Except for the stingray maybe. That was gigantic. Not sure I would have tried vegemite ice cream. The meat pies and lamington looked pretty good though. The sinkhole and wildlife park were cool too. So much to like in this one. Thanks for taking us along!
We’re so glad you could enjoy it too!! Thanks so much for coming along!
I'm exciting with your video feed once again.
Thank you!!!
Great vlogging guys 👍 Amazing places!
Thank you so much!!! The places are fantastic!!
Loved so many aspects of this vid!! So many beautiful places…and the wild life!! Oh! And Alan’s sense of humor 😂
Thank you! it was beautiful and the wildlife incredible!!! Glad you enjoyed it too!!
Wonderful😍 beautiful scenery! Full watched and greetings from Vancouver
The Great Ocean Road is incredible!! Thanks so much for watching, we're so happy you enjoyed it! Hope we make it to Vancouver one day!
Great vlog my friends
Thanks so much
Great Otway national park looks so beautiful. Love that big fall tree that you can stand in! -S
Omg it is gorgeous!! Glad you guys got to see that cool tree too!! :D
Oceans and glow worms. Just spectacular views, you two! And you went in winter, hence the not-so huge crowds. But awesome!!
Luckily we dodged he crowds with the country being closed too! Watched another video during summer with the country open.. bumper to bumper traffic!! lol
EPIC video, guys!!! It'll be in my Saved list forever 💓 The views at Bay Of Islands and Twelve Apostles look absolutely stunning!!! Once again you made me miss Australia so bad! 😄 But I'm happy I'm able to see it through your eyes, keep up the amazing work!
Awww thank you!!! I agree, those were the best views!! Thanks so much for checking it out!!
So many fun things to do!🐸
Yes!! It was a blast!! Made our video long but it's worth it! lol
Amazing 👏
Thank you so much!!! Where are you watching from?
Thanks for sharing your experience. ❤
Thank you very much for watching!
Loved to do that trip, thanks guys for sharing.
I hope you get to!!! Thanks so much for watching!! :D
Mesmerising! So exquisite! Congrats! 👏 Love your channel! Subscribed and looking forward to the next one!
So sorry we just saw this! It got held for review for some reason? Greatly appreciate it, it means a lot to us! :D
Awesome channel, loved it
Thank you so much! We're so happy you enjoyed it.
Loved your video guys ❤
Thank you!! So happy you enjoyed it!!
Monster trip. Never knew the great ocean road was a thing, it's like CA Rt. 1. Otway looks like a dream. Love the longer format as well.
It was a fun one!! Wish I had done our outback trip to this extent!! lol.
The otways are gorgeous, a must in the area!!
Glad you like the longer one!! I didnt want to bore everyone, I know its LONG! But I feel like if it was shorter or broken into multiple videos it wouldn't have been as cool!! lol
So nice your video my family loved it. Beautiful couple
So happy you all enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
That is an awesome road trip, Spectacular beaches with the Amazing Arches, and Happy to know that the California trees are saved in Southern Australia, 80 % of the Redwoods had burned last year in Northern California including the 1St National Park in California, that had the cutout of the 5,800 year old RedWood Lovely Places thans very much for sharing 🏞👦🏻👍🏻
Thank you!!! I knew there were bad fires up there but didn't realize it had burned 80%!!! When you say the cutout did you mean that giant one that cars could drive through??
@@IfWeGoTo I actually am not sure if that one is still there. I just remembered Miur Woods 🪵😭 they hanging a 1 foot thick cutout with a 10 diameter. Which show the centuries with the rings the 5,800 years old . Until it and they it smoothly to the rings of its ages.
Hello 🤩 this is beautiful 😍 I went to Ocean road once very memorable
It is gorgeous right!!
Wow.. what a wonderful road trip. Thanks for the rundown of the activities and places to see. The sceneries are spectacular. Definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing. New sub from Canada.. hope to connect ☺️
Thanks so much for checking it out!! Always happy to connect with a fellow traveler!!
Indeed great ocean road
It is a beautiful drive to take! Hope you enjoyed!! Thanks for stopping by! 😃
Yay Australia! Our home country! It'd be nice and cold at the Great Ocean Road now! Haha
It was definitely a bit chilly!! lol.
Wow, Hello my friend.. All the best to your channel and hope you have a wonderful day !!!
Thank you!! You as well!
Beautiful
Thank you!!!! We agree! 😃
awesome video👍
Thank you!! Really happy you enjoyed it!!
Really great video Brandi and Alan, thanks. These videos are getting super slick and professional now, its almost a "lam-dunk" lol if i were to borrow Alan's lingo. Keep it up and keep the adventures going! Looking forward to the next one.
Hahaha a lam dunk it is!! Thank you so much for watching and leaving this awesome comment for us!!
Great Video which makes me watch several videos from your channel 😂! really like it!! I'm planning to drive to Melbourne from Adelaide and I was looking for such a video
Ahh thank you so much!! I hope it helps with your trip, it’s such a beautiful drive!!
👏👏💕 Thank you.
Thanks for watching!! Hope it helps you in your own travels!! 😃
perfect surfer music! 🌊 🎶
we would TOTALLY pick a place because it has alpacas! fully support that decision. ❤️
The alpacas were AWESOME!! Lol, seems like we have our priorities straight!!
Melbourne to Adelaide has lots of nice places to stop at on your travels
Really such an amazing drive!! Would love to relive it!!
Fantastic road trip! Really upsetting about the penguins. That stingray was absolutely enormous. And I was fascinated to see that there were California redwoods there. I did not know that.
Th penguins were heartbreaking but we tried not to let that get us too down!! The redwoods were awesome, you've seen the giant sequoias in your adventures I assume right?
These redwoods are disease free and are a genetic back up for the Californian trees.
Disappointed that these two did not do some basic research about the areas they visited and provide the viewer with some general or historical background.
Who would get into a bikini on a beach in the middle of winter? Only an exhibitionist would do that.
Didn’t know that! Thanks! We travel full time and work so we don’t always have the time to learn everything about each area. So we appreciate you guys filling us in on the things we missed.
It was actually fall & Swimsuits at the beach are welcome in all seasons where we’re from. Is that not the case in Australia? Cause we saw others in swimsuits too… assumed it was ok cause it was the beach. Lol
Hi I've only recently discovered your channel and I have to say I'm loving it. I am from Iran and a new subscriber of your channel. I'm very happy to watch this video 🙌, thanks very much for sharing this beautiful video.
Wow thank you!!
Iran is one of our dream destinations! SO much history and beautiful architecture! Hopefully one day we will visit! :)
Love your guys videos missed em for a couple weeks. Dog treat I've cream lmao. The Redwoods and TREES. Man 12 apostles was awesome. The Archs were great. You two always look like you are having so much fun
Aww sorry we left ya hanging so long!! haha. Things have been busy with some unexpected travel plans! Alan has weird taste right? lol
Thanks for watching!! I know it was a long one! lol
@@IfWeGoTo No worries thanks for sharing another one of your guys great adventures looking forward to seeing what you two get into next.
Very informative video, thank you so much
Glad to hear it was helpful!!! Thanks for visiting! 😊
That would be an awesome drive. We hope to be able to get to Australia one of these days. I'm with you. Definitely not a fan of the mini Cooper lol. I don't think I have ever seen a kangaroo in real life. Crazy they are just out in fields out there. A wagu burger is only 24 dollars. Ohh only lol lol. Someone sent us some goodies from Australia and vegamite was in our care package and it was not good. Not good at all. Wow. Those stingrays were huge. Looks like you guys had an awesome time.
I'm sure you'll make it out!! Be sure to save up, OOOOFFF it's expensive!! I can only imagine how much it costs when the country is actually open for tourism! lol.
I'm not sure if I had either... I feel like zoos must have them but I don't ever remember seeing them!! lol. They are EVERYWHERE here (except big cities)... like you gotta be careful driving at night!
Thanks for watching guys!! Really hope you make it to Oz!!
Nice video and I hope you enjoyed yourself .At Mount Gambia it is really blue during the warmer months such as summer on a sunny day .
Thank you!! It was such a beautiful drive, definitely a highlight. We’re hoping to return to Australia one of these days!!
It’s neat they have redwoods there because coastal California has lots of eucalyptus 🌲.
Yeah!! They must have a pretty similar environment for the trees!!
Alpacas! Yaaaasssss!!!
YASSSSS
Awesome 👌 1 of my favorites..how are you brandi and alan. GODBLESS YOU BOTH
Thanks Dwayne! Were glad you liked it. How are you doing??
@@IfWeGoTo im great thanks for asking just got from Florida my brother died im back in Atlanta now
@@dwaynekeys430 I'm so so sorry to hear that! We're sending our deepest condolences your way.
@@IfWeGoTo thank you
I did this drive in my Porsche GT3 and it’s a amazing drive
Sounds like a super fun car to take the drive in!!! Definitely agree, it is such a beautiful trip to make!!
Thank you for sharing, how long take to from Melbourne to Adelaide? is the great ocean road easy to drive?
So happy you enjoyed it!! We did the drive over two weeks, but if you did it as a straight shot you probably could do it in a couple of days. To make the most of each spot on a trip would probably do a week. :)
Drive itself was easy! All paved, well marked, well serviced!
So beautiful
Thank you James!!
@@IfWeGoTo your welcome
I like nature beautiful
Us too! Thank you!
Well done and great video. Definitely helping as we plan our escape to Australia later this year! We were going to rent a Campervan for our trip....did you see many or know if there are parks for them to stay in? I think I'd swallow my knee caps in that Fiat! Loved the Ice creams stops too. Everywhere we go we search out the best Gelato / Ice cream locales....awesome!
Thank you so much!! So glad it’s helping you with your plans!! There are lots of camper van parks around the country! There’s an app that lets you know where the free and paid ones are on a map.. I can’t recall the name of it, but we used it when we did a camper van in the outback!!
The fiat was definitely not ideal haha, but Dooley’s was so worth a visit! That pineapple gelato was legendary!!
There’s a lot to see, between Mt Gambier and Adelaide too.
Lovely beach towns
Wineries inland in the Coonawarra soil
The coorong
Absolutely! I know we missed a fair bit around there!! We unfortunately didn’t plan enough time!! Would love to return and see much more next time! Thank you for the suggestions! :)
I've driven Big Sur in California. I need to drive this before i die.
We’re from CA! I (Brandi) am actually from the Monterey Bay area! Lol.
That drive is stunning! Have they fixed that section of highway yet?
And definitely add the great ocean road to your bucket list, it’s amazing!!
Love your videos!!! And it’s sad to see those rubbish being washed off to the shores… imagine how many plastics the animal ate… :( bless those penguins.
I’m going in May for this road trip! Which month did you do this road trip? I wonder if it’s gonna be too cold on May. :)
Thank you so much! We’re so happy you enjoyed them!
The plastics broke our hearts. :( we’re hoping it was natural causes but who knows.
we did the trip in late April/early may! It’s definitely chilly but some days were a little warmer! Bring a jacket and a sweatshirt!
Great video! I would love to travel from Adelaide to Malborne someday once the pandemic is over. May I know how long was your journey for this road trip and would you recommend travelling from Melbourne to Adelaide or the other way round?
The pandemic is a real bummer huh! :(
This road trip took us around 2 weeks, but you could do it in as little as about 10 hours if you made no stops, or take even longer and make more stops!
I think the direction you would want to go depends on what you want to afterwards. Adelaide is a pretty good launching point if you want to head into the outback or continue your trip west. Melbourne of course is a big city and their flights out are cheaper if you’re doing this as a stand-alone trip, plus it’s closer/more connected if you want to also see Sydney, Tasmania, etc etc.
Also thank you for watching!! 🤗
Wikipedia about Great Ocean Road: th-cam.com/video/UZ0gpXU7scY/w-d-xo.html
Adelaide to Melbourne took 14 cans
That's very cold water to take a swim, it's got Antarctic icebergs.in it.
Yes there was a land bridge at London bridge in 1987-8 it fell down. About 6 weaks before I walked over the bridge.
Hahah yes it was quite chilly!! Hard to resist dipping your toes in at the beach though!
That's super cool, would have been fantastic to see! Glad you at least got to!
Okay we are still watching this video and this is already our favorite video you have created. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much you guys!!! We were unsure about doing one long one or a few short ones, but I'm glad we went for longer... I feel like broken up this one wouldn't have the same impact!
@@IfWeGoTo we don’t mind longer videos if they have great quality. Your videos are great! We hope to cross paths with you sometime
Awesome vlog! Do the car rental company charge you one way fee for picking up from melbourne and dropping off at adelaide?
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it! I believe they did charge a different location drop off fee, but it wasn’t much. If you’re looking to save a bit on the trip and are flexible, there are a lot of companies that will even let you do the drive for free because they need people to move the cars long distances. Only catch is that it’s on their schedule and it’s limited to meet their needs. :)
Great video and precious moment for both of you.
Just wondering how long did you take from MEL to ADL? It is really interesting and I might try to do so😍
Ahh thank you!! We did the drive over two weeks but you could do it faster with fewer or shorter stops!
Thanks. 👍🏻
Anytime!! If you ever have any questions or anything, don’t hesitate to reach out!!
Wow amazing... nice vlog.. visit once India . Love from hyderabad
Thank you!! India is one of the top places we wish to visit!!! :)
I did this same drive yesterday but from gambier to Melbourne 😂
Hahaha awesome!! How was the drive for you??
whoops, just saw the reply. Yes, the drive was amazing!! we live in Melbourne so we go down to the great ocean road every year!
Nice video.. what time of the year did you visit ?
Hi there!! We did this drive in late April/early May!! Hope that helps and you enjoy your trip!!
Great video guys I live just outside of Torquay :) its such an amazing area along the coast.
What an amazing place to live, we loved the entire drive!!! Thanks so much for checking out our video on it! :)
@@IfWeGoTo it is a pretty special place and keep up the great videos I cant wait to watch more from you :)
@@hadesfortune3270 Aww thank you so much! Looking forward to bringing you along on some adventures!! :D
I visited Apollo Bay in 2018 and stayed overnight....when I left the following morning I spotted a koala walking along the side of the GOR just outside the town.
That is SO amazing!! I was so bummed to not see any on the GOR! Luckily we did see them on magnetic island!
@@IfWeGoTo
I highly recommend Tasmania if you haven't seen it yet....its spectacular.
that’s so sad about the penguins. and such a real (and devastating) statement about the plastic.
It definitely made the day a little more somber!! You'd think a beach out that far from the city and people would be pristine!!
Hi, we live in the UK and planning to do this trip when we go early November this year. It looked a bit chilly, what month did you go please?
We went in April! So Australia having reversed seasons we were in Autumn, headed into winter!
It should be much warmer in November being so close to Summer!
Hope you have an amazing trip!
@@IfWeGoTo cheers, I have been before in April and would agree, it was a tad cold. Thanks for your reply.
@@mikegreen6113 anytime!! Happy travels! 😊
Great vid - what camera do you guys use?
Thank you so much!!! This was shot on a Canon EOS R!
Hope that helps! :)
A word of advice for any potential tourists thinking of driving around outside of the major cities. Please don't hire a small car. If you hit a Roo driving one of those things, you'll end up in hospital for a very long time. Most people who live out in these areas drive substantially bigger cars for that exact reason. The damage caused by Roo's when you hit one at 80 plus is nothing short of catastrophic. But I'm glad you had a nice time. (Also next time stop at the Supermarket in Torquay and buy a loaf of bread and sandwich fillings and save yourself a ton of money).
The crap you saw on the beach at Gibson steps is incoming containerships on their way to Port Melbourne who are illegally dumping their bilge tanks into the Ocean. It happens all the time and is not Policed. Thank you for showing the result of this illegal dumping.
Ha I was wondering where all that trash came from. Bummer the authorities aren’t keeping the water clean.
As for the small car, next time hopefully we can rent something safer. You aren’t the first person to warn us about getting wiped out by a roo haha
@@IfWeGoTo I live in the South West and was so sad to see the dead Penguins, but that is the cause. Beautiful video, hope you come back soon.
It was devastating but hopefully things will change.
And yes, we absolutely adore Australia, if we could move there one day that would be a dream come true!! Hopefully we’ll get to visit again sooner than later!
which month of the year did you travel to the great ocean road?
Hi!! We did this drive over two weeks from mid April to early May! Hope that helps!
16:00 DEAD PENGUINS I read that albatross are full of heavy metals like mercury.
So if its not microplastic then it could be heavy metals.
This is why I avoid takeaway as much as possible.
That’s very possible too! Whatever it is, it’s heartbreaking!
@@IfWeGoTo It will probably be slightly disappointing to see the dead animals.
As a family we visited "The Twelve Apostles" when there was probably 12 sandstone pillars and London Bridge was still intact.
It was very different then Melbourne's population was a fraction of what it is now.
Sadly, we're destroying this planet with our takeaway and hedonistic lifestyle.
It was very sad being out on that remote beach, so far from people, and seeing how much trash was around.
The world is just getting more crowded. And we definitely need to make some changes to make it more sustainable. Unfortunately easier said than done. :(
I find a bit of solace in knowing things will be different, but life will find a way!
@@IfWeGoTo nothing we're doing to this planet is sustainable. Its all bs.
Just too many people nowadays :(
Can I visit the alpaca farm without staying at the AirBnB? Can I have the details of that place please :)
I think it is a private farm at the airbnb, so I’m not sure if they do outside visits or not! But the link to the airbnb we stayed in is abnb.me/otK7rIoDAlb! The host has two separate listings!
It was a little more on the pricey side (port Campbell is expensive 😩), but big and you only need to stay a night or two to see the area.. plus alpacas are worth it! Lol
@@IfWeGoTo thanks for the reply! Unfortunately they’re booked out on the dates im on the great ocean road next month haha. Thanks for the vid!!!
Aww no!! I guess we got lucky when we booked!
You will have so much fun, the GOR was one of the best things we did in Aus!
We’re so happy you enjoyed the video, hope it helps on your trip! 😃
As an Aussie who grew up with Vegemite, I can't understand why you'd put it in icecream instead of putting just a small amount on toast with heaps of butter. Good onya mate for having a go though 😂😃 how did you like the local produce. Our seafood is usually pretty good.
Hahaha I will agree that vegemite is best left for toast… but I had to try that flavor! It was wacky! 😂
Australia has pretty dang good produce I would say! Didn’t get much seafood there though, Alan doesn’t like it! I do though!! Did I miss out? Lol
@@IfWeGoTo I'm up in Queensland and some of the seafood is amazing. I understand NZ has some incredible seafood which is understandable. Nice deep cold clean waters will do that. The scallops I had in Tasmania were possibly the nicest thing I've ever eaten. I got a pie from a really old wood fired oven in a old fashioned bakery. We smoke slot of our meat at home and I grew up with old fashioned wood fire combustion stoves that were our cooking facilities and hot water system so it was something really special for me. A scallop pie was incredibly good . My girlfriend is a chef but highly allergic to seafood so like you I only usually have seafood when out without her 😁. I love it too😃
@@matthewcullen1298 We spent about 6 months in QLD and one in TAS... didn't try any seafood and now I'm sure regretting it! lol. I could definitely see both areas having great seafood, especially Tassie. Like you said, it waters were so clean... I don't think I have ever seen more wildlife in a place either!
All that food you're describing is making me hungry!! lol Bummer she has seafood allergies!! But at least there's a ton of equally amazing options out there! Australia had some of the best food I've ever eaten in the cities!
@@IfWeGoTo Tassie is breathtakingly beautiful. The coastline down south around port Arthur is like nothing I've every seen. I can imagine why the convicts thought it was hell on Earth. Freezing cold rain and snow with winds coming straight up from Antarctica then those massive cliffs and ocean swells. Today it is definitely worth a visit.
I'm so glad you spent plenty of time in Queensland. There is so much to see and do. Yeah these days the foods are amazing. We have a huge diversity of people from all over the world that have bought their food and culture with them. It has really added to the richness of our restaurant and little eateries. I love good Asian food, especially Thai or Vietnamese and the Greek and Italian Australian s have given us the best thing in my humble opinion. Amazing coffee. I don't know an Aussie tradesman that doesn't rely on good coffee in the morning to get up and going.lol. I usually have a couple of flat whites before I leave home. I hope you really enjoyed yourselves here. Most Aussies love it when people come here and enjoy the place. We think it's a great country and want to share that with others visiting. I've now found a new channel to binge watch. You guys are showing me parts of my country I've never been to and it's helping fuel my desire to get out with my girlfriend and see some of this amazing country.
Hope you continue to see Australia and stay safe and happy travels. Best which from Brisbane 😀
@@matthewcullen1298 Absolutely agree with that... and definitely would be less than ideal to be shipped off there and stuck back in the day.. it is FREEZING! And we went in the summer!
Man I miss Australia's coffee... I think the best I had was in the Blue Mountains! Can't recall where though.
We loved it there... have even considered moving back, but that would be a ways away, lol.
We definitely want to head back to Australia though.. missed the entire west half of the country and a few things that didn't work with our schedule in some other spots!
Hope you and your gf get to make it out to more of the country soon too! Happy & Safe travels to you both as well!
Today watch in cricket aust is most beautiful love from pakistan
Thank you so much for watching! Would love to visit Pakistan one day too!
Hollister in Nor California?
That's right!
So much fun! You were brave going from warm clothes to a bikini! Love road trips!!!!
Can pass up a chance to put my toes in the ocean!! lol
It was a fun road trip!! Would recommend it to anyone!! :D
When did you guys do this trip? Which month?
We did this over 2 weeks in late April/early May!
@@IfWeGoTo So as I can see its all windy and cloudy, I am going the same route this April during Easter. I hope it doesnt rain 😄
That will be so much fun! I hope you have a blast! Keeping my fingers crossed that you get sunny skies! If it makes you feel any better we only really got rain one day. Then a few showers!
@@IfWeGoTo Woohoo, thats good to hear but I also heard that expect the unexpected haha. Fingers crossed :) Amazing video by the way, planned every aspect of my trip with this video!
Definitely pack a rain jacket just in case! Thank you, we're so happy it helped with your planning! I hope you have so much fun!! Do you have an instagram by chance? Would love to follow along! :D
We grow pineapples in Australia....Queensland mainly.
Queensland is awesome!! I could definitely see why pineapples would be grown there, but I didn’t know they were! Guess that explains that amazing ice cream flavor! Thanks! :D

Mangoes too but they grow pretty much anywhere.
We did get to see the giant mango.. I think near bundaberg? I can’t quite remember where! It was definitely in Queensland though!
@@IfWeGoTo
Bowen QLD, a bit further north of Bundy.
Ah that was it!!! Thank you! Hope we get to visit beautiful AUS again soon!! 😃
Oh the Apostles are ridiculous.
Arent they gorgeous!!!
Big Like 31
Thank you!!!!
Are you guys still out yhere
We are still in Australia, but not South Australia or Victoria!
You missed Cape Otway lighthouse, oldest lighthouse in Australia 🤷🏻♂️
You’re right, we did! I think we only had a couple of days in the otways and decided to skip the admission!
Do you think it’s worth a stop if we ever make our way back out there!
@@IfWeGoTo nah, it's just another lighthouse tbh 😁 good video 👍🏼
Hahhaha, we’ll glad we dodged that $40 admission! 😂
Thank you!! :D we’re so happy you enjoyed it!
That was a worm
No way!! It looked exactly like a leech 😂
Watchout for drop 🐻 bears
We fortunately only had run ins with a few!! lol

You're on a tourist route...of course things will be expensive.....for you.... there are generally 2 prices...tourist prices, and local prices for those that live around the area
We did pay it, didn’t we!!? 😆
I’m glad to hear locals have it a bit easier though!
I think that's when a large storm killed hundreds of penguins
Oh my, I hope so, that would make us feel a little better about it... shame it wiped out all of those penguins but it feels better that it's natural!
Hahaha 😅😂😂😅
It would be nice if you guys work as Australian travel agents... nice video though
That would be so awesome!! We LOVED Australia!! Thanks so much for watching, hope it helps you on your own travels! :D
Yeah, when I'm done with my studies I'm coming over to adelaide to finish... you are welcome
Ahh awesome!! Would love to keep in touch for our next visit, we'll need some travel tips for Adelaide's surrounding areas which we missed! Where are you studying in the meanwhile?
Lol, nah I don't stay in Australia 🤣. I'm a Nigerian, I stay in Nigeria
Ohh I thought you meant that you're going to move to Adelaide once you are done with your studies! Nigeria is on our bucket list too! :) I have an auntie from Ghana, hoping to make the trip out with her one day and explore the region!
You should have contacted Parks Victoria to report the dead birdlife and plastics washed up. Australian authorities take a very dim view of wildlife being impacted by people, especially in nation parks.
We were not sure who to contact!! So thank you! Hopefully if it ever happens again people will see your comment and know. Thank you!!
So were there dinosaurs or not?
Not this time, but we saw one in Queensland 😨
@@IfWeGoTo I finished. I had to watch in 2 sittings.
Can’t blame ya!! This video was long, but I feel like if we broke it into parts it would’ve been boring!!
Lol
Miss Australia… sad to see the dead penguins.
Same! It’s such a great country. Where are you from??
And yes the penguins were heart breaking :(
@@IfWeGoTo I live in the US… in San Francisco. Spent 2.5 years in Melbourne around 7 years back.
Oh awesome!! I’m from the South Bay Area. Did you move to Melbourne for one of those work/visa programs?
@@IfWeGoTo No, my client was in Melbourne. I used to fly in fly out every few weeks. Spend 3 weeks there and 1 week in SF.
Sounds like bore water that you are talking about
Buy fresh bottles of water
Hahaha don't worry, we did! Just got a big 5gallon box!
Apostles > leeches.
Amen to that!!!
almost anything is better than leeches! 🤣
The penguins would've died because of the bird flu that has swept Antarctica recently 😢💔💔💔💔💔
Oh no! Did not know about this... was this around in 2021 when this was filmed??
Women girls pretty
Oh thanks! 😃
Sad to see dead penguins 🐧..
