The smaller black and white bird is a peewee and the bigger one is a magpie. During Sept watch our for the magpie, they like to swoop you. Always wear a hat and something to protect your eyes.
Glad you like them! Miss you my gorgeous work friend. Hope you and the family are doing well. Thanks for supporting us and this weird journey of ours hahahaha
A lot has changed out there since we were there in 2017! I love the outback towns, can't wait to get back! I've always called them 'crosswalks', never a crossing - maybe it's a West Australian thing :) My Dad and brother were working out on the Great Central Road about 30 years ago and swear they saw a Min Min, but they don't like to talk too much about it so must have been quite an experience for them
You would think we would remember them by now lol. It is that sometimes you go walking, no flies and then bamm they swarm you but you havent got the fly net with you arghhhh Thanks for watching
Loved the tour of this town what a lovely place. Another thing is how can you put up with flies surely there's something you could apply to stop them love your videos ❤
Hi guys I really enjoy your channel,I'm a Aussie myself living in dry country N,S,W . Just leaving my comment on flies trying wearing lighter colour clothing cause little black flies are attractive to black and dark colours. Plus they love sweat on people. They live off your proteins in your sweat. I hope that a great help try lavender or peppermint oil or spray . Safe travels stay safe .
Will be a strange day if Jon wears lighter shirts lol. We do have fly nets but keep forgetting to pack them from the caravan to the car. Maybe we should buy another set. I will definitely try the oils as I have Doterra in the van. Thanks for watching
how did you like the prices at boulia when we were there it cost over $70 for a 6 pack xxxx gold and 6 pack scotch and coke plus fuel was 70cents dearer than anywhere else
The black and white bird looks like a pee wee. My grandfather would tell a story of seeing the Min Min lights, very spooky! Love your videos, safe travels! 🙂
That's right Tracey, what you said about position of the two tropical lines, Cancer & Capricorn. When you are south of Tropic of Capricorn you do notice a difference in temperature. Thanks for these videos, have been enjoying them to see all your travels, well done 👍
I’m once again amazed what a small town offers. Great pub and wonderful swimming pool and spa. They probably have the place packed In the winter I would imagine the caravan park prices help run the pool. Nice lookout. All that trouble they went to in the middle of no where The lights show They know how to charge alright the place looks very tidy and the park looks really good. Not a dust bowl like some that crossing was definitely 3d. It makes your eyes go funny looking at it once again a great informative show guys 👍
Its amazing the difference with the crossing from seeing in person to watching on the video. Yes that pool was awesome, loved this town. Thanks for watching
Once I started to edit the crosswalk showed way better then in person. We have loved our time in the Outback. Its the wet season now so not many travellers which has been great
Impressive that John can still remember the lyrics of Green Acres! The Dreamtime sculpture reminded me that in Birdsville there was a special indigenous site that I think was the end point of a massive trek that began across the desert in SA. The storyline was a way of learning the waypoints where water was to be found. As you point out the hidden gems you find in such towns can be amazing.

A very funny little bird and so friendly. Oh yes, growing up in Sydney wayyyy back there was alot of magpies swooping. Thanks for watching
At Boulia. Magpie Lark or Mud Lark other names too are the birds. We have them around home.
Thanks so much, we have never heard of those names before. Funny little birds. Thanks for watching
I live in Port Germein between Port Augusta and Port Pirie and we get mim mim lights quite often on our property
I think they would be an awesome thing to see. Thanks for watching and commenting

Tropic of Capricorn is south of the Equator (southern hemisphere) and Tropic of Cancer is north (northern hemisphere)

Good to know I have retained some information from my school years lol
Their pee wee birds
Thank you
how did you like the prices at boulia when we were there it cost over $70 for a 6 pack xxxx gold and 6 pack scotch and coke plus fuel was 70cents dearer than anywhere else
Hmmm yes way pricey. With what we purchased in the little store wow lol. But we expect it in these little towns. Thanks for watching
Great episode. Bedourie is a fabulous stop along that part of the world. 👍
We really liked that little town. We would definitely go back there
Hi you two. We follow your channel and lo and behold picked up one of your calling cards at the Cracow Heritage Centre.
Awesome! Thank you! That is so cool the cards were still there. Thank you for following us we really appreciate it

I would have loved a Min Min encounter lol. Thanks for your comment and support

Thank you so much, we have enjoyed creating the videos. Appreciate your comment
So was it worth it the dirt bowl Nothing there but ---keep on going !
We have absolutely loved "The Dirt Bowls" , so many interesting places. Thanks for watching

The crosswalk did look 3D. Didn t seem to be many travellers out that way. Its great in the Outback.
Once I started to edit the crosswalk showed way better then in person. We have loved our time in the Outback. Its the wet season now so not many travellers which has been great
The Birds looked like Mudlarks or Peewees the other Could of been a Magpie
Yep most people saying Peewees, cute little things whatever they are. Thanks for watching

Hhaahaha Jon said he impresses himself sometimes lol. We are loving all the indigenous storytime things we have come across. Makes time interesting.
$20 a night. What a rip-off. Go 15ks down the road and you camp for free. Mind you, it may be worth it for the pool. But $20 bucks just to swim. Lol
The pool was an extra $10 but not to worry, it was still a good stay. Thanks for watching
