Did you know that Australia was recently ranked the 6th best country to travel by long-distance bike travellers? 🦘 I made a video about the other top-10 countries here: th-cam.com/video/tu_abG1PxQI/w-d-xo.html
I really enjoyed your impressions of our country. Could I point out a bias that came through your narrative? The first peoples of Australia are diverse from around 150 nations, and as such, if you think of these nations like Europe. When you say comments like Ayers Rock or Uluru is a very important site for Indigenous people, this is only an accurate saying for the local mob. That site is like saying the Coliseum is important to the French just because they are European. Again, I really loved this video and found it very respectful just wanted to add to the learning journey we are all on. Well done guys
Alee -- the most truest ambassador for bike touring. What a fantastic and epic video. I'm not even halfway through and just can't believe how incredible this is. I've been riding for over 20 years, toured thousands of miles and have built over 50 of my own bikes. I consider myself an expert in all things bike related-- but you are my expert and one of the very,very few that I really take seriously when it comes to touring and all info related to it. What a gift for all of us to have you share your knowledge and expierence. Thank you!
Your spirit/soul and espirit de adventura is A MA Z I N G. Love the violins and piano, the focus on sky light and your appreciation to the aboriginal culture. At 78 I've been car free for over 10 yrs, now ride a recumbent trike from ICE / UK. Aloha / Hilo
I ran out of sleep at around 03:30am and I went to TH-cam, bumped into this video and had to watch it all. Absolutely awesome! Let me finish my remaining 2 hours of sleep. Much love from South Africa. 🇿🇦
Alee, your filming, editing and story telling skills are stellar. This was far more enjoyable than most documentary films I have watched. I was spellbound through the whole presentation. The worlds largest rock in the evening sun was spectacular. There is good chemistry between you and your lady friend. You both are truly blessed. Thanks for sharing this epic adventure.
The best bicycle travelogue I've watched, period. Amazing visuals, skillful editing, mindful music and masterful narration. This is going to inspire tons of people to go on bike touring, just like it did for me. Thank you for this video Alee. Thank you for showing us Australia like never seen before and for capturing the joy of bike-touring!
You both are a real team with an adventurous Spirit. This filming is very impressive showing many angles and details and the beauty of the Australia outback. Thank you, cheers from Oregon USA.
Found your show by accident and just give it a go. Great job guys 47.21mins and didn't skip a bit. Love the fact that you guys are so positive in everything that comes across. Love it, deserve a subscribe :)
This has been one of the best balanced videos I have ever seen. Just the right amount of every activity. Love the bikes. Thank you for an outstanding video. Take care, Al
the feeling of happiness and excitement are contagious by watching this piece of art, cheers mates for making this incredible video! good on ya cobber!
If ever I can, I will only go to Australia and bike around for 2-3 months. Its a wonderful sight, thank you guys for taking me along such a nice journey.
I watch a lot of cycling videos and yours are among my favorites. Your quiet personality reflects in the tone of your movies, there's a feeling of going slow but at the same time we get a lot of information in a short time. I think you alwayd carefully select what you deem worthy of saying or showing. And now your companion adds that bit of uplifting energy that maybe was lacking. You definitely opened my eyes on the beauty and diversity of an Australian traverse by bike, which I imagined as mostly boring with its long streches of straight, flat roads. Top notch video
Fantastic views and breathtaking scenery. Epic editing and voice over. World class musical scoring. You sir and mam are gifted legends. From halfway across the world...Thank you for what you do.
I was so inspired by the video that I went and got my specialized crossroads 2.0 out of storage last night so I can ride it in a little bit :) Been a while and just moved, so my body sore, so I have to take it easy, which is hard since I live on a steep mountain so any riding nearby means big hills
I'm sick with the flu in bed right now aka not riding my bike :-( and your video popped out of no where on my feed and I'm glad it did. What an incredible journey you two did. Those drone shots make Earth look like an alien planet!
Wow! What a marvellous trip! You made it a pleasure to spend 45 minutes peddling on my rollers while imagining riding the Outback. A wonderful video with great camera work and commentary. I liked the tech side of the trip at the end as well. How the bikes stood up to the roads, those tires are exceptional and good to see how much water one carries and how much and what kinds of foods you need for keeping it all together.
Wow, what an amazing journey!!! From my old home town Townsville to! In October this year I drove from my home in the Blue Mountains to Brisbane, up to Winton and did the same jpurney to Alice via the Plenty Highway, then after the Red Centre came back by the Madigan Line /Hay River/QAA Line across Simpson Desert. But you did this journey to Alice on Mountain bikes!!! Wow. I mean WOW!! What an adventure! Cycling is great! 🙂 I look forward to your next adventure!
Apologies in advance,, you both inspire self to bike back. I was in tears 😢 😭 🤧 forward of being hit by a motor vehicle whilst cycling 🚲 I'm forever different. Afterwards, my bikes got so dusty, dry rot tires, spider webs and more just in the Garage over two (2) years 2020. It's a lot mentally plus physically to BOUNCE FORWARD. Between receiving Acupcture Treatments plus Massage Therapy. Awaiting Aqua Therapy. EXIGENT I BOUNCE FORWARD. Thanks A Lot for sharing this. I personally appreciate this. CYCLIST FOR LIFE 💚💚💚
WOOWWW!!! Really cool video.... the landscape, the background music, the positive energy from both of you, the info about Australia, the animals, the birds, the insects, the swimming holes... KONA, PRIORITY, all L O V E L Y !!! All the best and happy rides!!! : )
This is one of my favorite adventure videos in a long time! Such amazing camera work and looks like so much fun! Definitely looks like a rout to add to the list of "casual" bike tours! Great content mate!
This is great for so many reasons and it feels particularly good to watch it on a cold, rainy day. Also great choice of music, especially the guitar bits!
I saw randomly this video and i watched. It shows many things also everyone understand and see different things, i love the videos like this one and i hope for myself make trip like this one and lastly good luck guys!!
This was a beautiful trip with fantastic pictures. Thanks for taking us allong. It gives the feeling that you have to grab your bike and start riding right away. Greetings from Switzerland!
What a great video of our wonderful outback thank you so much for sharing. Some people are nice letting you stay in that beautiful accomidation. Loved the drone footage. The heli flight gave an impressive view of ularu.
Alee, I am not much of a cyclist but I watched your videos. You are one hell of a content creator. You narrate well. You have a distinct tone, much like David Attenborough and Iain Stewart have their own unique thing. Great job, Boss!
Love everything about this adventure, good job! Everything from the start of the blog its all quality work. The entire video is all throughout amazing!!! The preparations you made and preworks says it all. Love the scenery, background music selections, sharing of Australian outback stories and limitless access to different scenic spots. I love the whole exploration by bicycle. Only by God's grace!!!
Love your inner fire and curiosity. You will look back at this in the decades to come and say, I have never changed and will continue to try different things.
What an epic journey. Well done. I did some cycling out and around Uluru, to Kings Canyon and around Alice Springs earlier this year (2022) and your video brought back some very pleasant memories of my experience. Outback Australia is truly one of the best cycling experiences I have had. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. One of your best videos yet, AND it tells the story of a trip across Australia. You captured a feel for the vast distances between our iconic tourist monuments. Since Covid-19 I've decided just to bikepack here in Oz. There is plenty to see and lots of off-road kilometres to experience. I put Nobby Nics on my wife's bike (tubeless) and she is yet to have a puncture too.
What a wonderful video, I had the privilege of riding the route during the 2019 Race to the Rock, your video brings more perspective of the beauty and the harshness of the land that I have often traversed at night, missing out on many sights that you showed on the video. Well done, well put together! 👍 Dale Tan
Very nice and interesting video. I have experience from many cycling trips mainly in Europe. For me the most astonishing thing: You guys seem so relaxed during the trip. Even with the hard conditions like dirt roads, heat, head winds...
Inspiring stuff guys, thanks for sharing! The outback is just so beautiful, can't wait to get back there next year. And now you've given me more ideas on exploring these areas
Very very impressive capture of a journey and the land. I've done much the same trip by car... But not without a puncture! Camping in the middle of the bush is great to absorb the vastness. Your drone helped convey that.
Fantastic video and a few places I had visited in the past so bought back lovely memories Didn't do it by bike but 4x4 would never have the energy and enthusiasm that you both put into this trip absolutely wonderful thank you 🙂
I wasn't sure, if I could watch the entire video because of my low attention span, but I just couldn't stop. What a landscape. And thank you for respecting the native population and their wishes.
18:54 love that rocket style drone shot, kudos to the film maker aspect of your video capture // a nicely made documentary about your bicycle trip, looks like good fun too. Cheers and warm regards!
Only just found your channel and absolutely loved this video ( no shits if an making coffee , yay ) , seriously I so enjoyed your video and have utmost respect for your travels .
Amazing trip! Incredible endurance. Laura is such an amazing riding companion. She is always smiling. What a trouper! Wonderful to see that you did the land acknowledgment to the indigenous peoples of Australia.

Have you ever come to nepal? 🇳🇵
Yes, but it was in 2007 or 2008!
Well, that makes it a must do for this Yankee.

Agreed 👍
A minute in and I knew this wasn't just another TH-cam video... this is special. This is one to re-watch again and again.
I want to just quit work, buy a plane to Australia and ride😊

This unpaved road looks smoother than the paved roads in my country, Greece.
haha, same for Boston, U.S!
You both are a real team with an adventurous Spirit. This filming is very impressive showing many angles and details and the beauty of the Australia outback. Thank you, cheers from Oregon USA.
Wow. So moved by the beauty and magnitude of this trip. Takes your breath away.

Wow, thanks!
What an amazing journey, thanks for sharing it with us. And thank you for your respect to Aboriginal names and art.
Incredible scenery and filmmaking, along with the usual beautiful soundtrack. Always a great day when a new video gets released!
This video is another example of after only a few minutes I'm hooked.

I never thought Australias Outback could be so beautiful and sustain such wonderful wildlife
I live and work in the outback. I can tell you now, Australia is a wonderful country
And the flies you see she wears a net and they plaster to your body , i worked in the gas fields in central Aus in the 70s . Millions .
That's a grevillia guys. Beautiful flowers. Fantastic doco. So lucky to be Australian
Fantastic views and breathtaking scenery. Epic editing and voice over. World class musical scoring. You sir and mam are gifted legends. From halfway across the world...Thank you for what you do.
I love your positive outlook and tasteful commentary. I find your words inspiring to be more appreciative and thankful. Cheers man!

Never seen something on TH-cam like this before! Very heart warming, moving, infomertife, absolutely beautiful well done you guys♥️♥️♥️
Inspiring! I did a lap of Australia by car in three months with two friends 35 years ago. I'd love to do it by bicycle,
A great video again, I watch these for relaxation purposes. I notice Laura has a great position on the bike, she seems to sit perfectly fitted.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and the amazing scenery of Australia. From Winnipeg, Manitoba. Canada.
Lovely comment, I'd imagine you have some great scenery not far from you as well 👍🍺
That was literally incredible. Amazing production and location. Thanks for making it, very much enjoyed.

Very very impressive capture of a journey and the land. I've done much the same trip by car... But not without a puncture! Camping in the middle of the bush is great to absorb the vastness. Your drone helped convey that.
What a magical trip! Country always changing. Thanks for sharing.
I WAS GLUED START TO FINISH........... AMAZING SHOW PEOPLE!
What an experience. .you all captured it so good too thanks for your hard work
It's good to view your video again. It's just incredible and amazing. Love Australia. Remember I when I ride in that country.
This was so good right from that iconic scene at the beginning to the end! What a treat!
Fantastic video and a few places I had visited in the past so bought back lovely memories Didn't do it by bike but 4x4 would never have the energy and enthusiasm that you both put into this trip absolutely wonderful thank you 🙂
I wasn't sure, if I could watch the entire video because of my low attention span, but I just couldn't stop. What a landscape.
And thank you for respecting the native population and their wishes.
So glad I discovered your channel. Amazing videography, equally amazing music, and wonderful adventure to watch. Thanks... Truly epic.
Great video, well edited and narrated. Looks an epic journey, I move to Oz in 10 weeks, so just finding great places and things to do.
Whaow, the landscape makes me feel like you are riding in a dream.
Thanks for this. Made my day. Beautifully shot and edited.
What an adventure! Inspiring! Thank you for the video Laura and Alee 👌🏻🚴🏻♂️😎
18:54 love that rocket style drone shot, kudos to the film maker aspect of your video capture // a nicely made documentary about your bicycle trip, looks like good fun too. Cheers and warm regards!
That was really cool, 2000k is epic. _Yellow bellied black snake sleeping on a red rock_ 😄🎶
All your videos are great. This is one of the best. Thank you.

Wow 👌 did not expect to watch 47min of riveting adventure!

Amazing trip! Incredible endurance. Laura is such an amazing riding companion. She is always smiling. What a trouper! Wonderful to see that you did the land acknowledgment to the indigenous peoples of Australia.
Great video. Camping in a dry riverbed, though..? I guess if you can count on no rain, you're ok!
Wow! Australia certainly is epic. Thanks for sharing your journey 🫶🏻
The most beautiful country in the world (but I'm biased). Thanks for sharing your incredible travels!
Wow a beautiful story of your journey, very inspiring to get on my bike again
Beautiful Alee! Makes me want to come back to Oz and ride bikes!
