I really enjoyed your drive around Ipswich. I drove through Ipswich in February 2000 when I was visiting Australia for vacation. A few months ago I downloaded an app that allows me to listen to almost any radio station in the world without having to go through all of the steps of live streaming. I have been retracing my trip in Australia and listening to radio stations at many of my stops. When I pick a station, I then look at youtube videos of the town where the radio station is located. I am so sorry to hear about all of the rain and flooding down in NSW that I have heard about on the news. It sounds like Ipswich is in danger tonight from heavy rains. I hope you and your town is spared. What I really liked about your video is that I do the very same thing. I make long videos of the area I live in. It looks like you do the same thing I do. I sit my Gopro camera on the dash, I get the same windshield reflection in the film and I put the drive to music. Watching your video was just like watching one of my videos. Here is the one I made of my town of Bend, Oregon in the United States. th-cam.com/video/Zrf8b1ElZXo/w-d-xo.html Take care and best wishes!
