G'day Dave Yay team...; Happy New Year...! I, too, went to sleep early on Tuesday night... Those were some lovely Orchids & Cranesbills, and the Water in the Creek was pleasantly clear - great Waders too by the way. I'm used to thinking of a Swag as being a couple of blankets rolled in a canvas groundsheet, tied up with Rope, to be slung over one shoulder....; whereas what you have is a Tent - low-profile & very "Stealth" technolology, were it pitched in Long grass between Saplings... But it looked very Tented to me, Struts arched in compression & Fabric in tension - and it's the Tension which makes the Tent tented...(?). Here, too, it's been very pleasantly cool, 14° C. here last night...., and 40mm of Rain on New Year's Eve ; which gave my Toyshed's new Guttering & Rain-Pipes their first chance to contribute to my Firepools..., capturing 12 litres per millimetre. I, too, posted a little Clip showcasing the Native Foodplants - such as they are ; all struggling with the new bright shiny "Unseasonability" of the Weather...; but sadly about 11 of the dozen unripe Wombat-Berries were fed to the Wallabies or Walleroos a few days before I went to commence videoing... Some silly fool was waiting for them to turn yellow, for a fully Ripe video...; Dum, de dumdum, DumbDUMB...(!). On Xmas Day the Chest-Camera came for a 53 Km ride to Dundee & back with me..., catching a quick glimpse of a Rednecked Wallaby playing "Chicken" with me on the way home. I dunno if you're surveilling the Global "Scene" these dayze..., but that video is titled, "Prissydunce Musk, Driving The Trumpocalypse ; Xmas Rideabout/Talkabout Video...!" All done at an average of 43 Km/Hr, running on Sunshine caught & converted into Current, and held ready for recharging ; by the new Solar System... The previous Rideabout Video, I took the bike (bought with a chunk of Dad's Estate - which took 42 years of Paperwork to show up !) to meet the Charcoal-Gas Producer he made in 1943, to fuel his Car to drive 150 miles to the Coast - taking the family for a holiday in 1944 ,& '45... And, now..., while it's still cool - off to brushcut my Defensible Bushfire Perimeter....; the Bike's Solar System feeds the Brushcutter, Chainsaw, and (Firefighting) Leafblower as well. I'm trying not to burn Fossil Fuel, but it's a tricky achievement to chase after ; as it turns out. Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

I liked the beard :(
Great video, Dave. But, I can only give you 9 out of 10 due to you not wearing hiking thongs and no bag of White Ox.
