Yes, it's a phenomenal place to swim and surf...if you can even get a carpark in Noosa!! Very expensive now too, the people that either live or holiday in Noosa are very well-off. I live in Brisbane and will maybe do a day trip to surf in Tea Tree Bay if I feel brave enough to face the crowds. It feels busier than Byron Bay at times.

      You can get to learn their prounciations just by thinking of sounds for some of them, because often the spellings come from explorers who wrote it as they thought rather than a standardised thing (and we haven't fixed it yet).

    Really enjoying your travels!
    Just a quick word re the harsher sun in Australia: The elliptical orbit of the Earth and our axial tilt combine to place the Southern Hemisphere closer to the sun during its summer months than the Northern Hemisphere. Coupled with our clearer atmospheric conditions, this means that Australians are exposed to up to 15% more UV than Europeans.
    There is of course a thinner ozone layer above Antarctica but it has less to do with that & more to do with our position in the Southern Hemisphere.✌🏼

    • @stephengentle2815
      @stephengentle2815 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's true - although people in the Northern Hemisphere are going to have to become more sun-smart, since pollution controls are starting to make some effect. International agreements to limit sulphur content in shipping fuel over the last few years being a big one - the sulphur dioxide pollution that sulphur created did shield some UV, and removing it has probably already brought the Northern Hemisphere a couple of percentage points closer (in the amount UV that gets to the ground) to us down South.

    Thanks for visiting! It's a great place, I've lived here for years, Brisbane is basically in the sweet spot in Australia for weather, laid-back lifestyle, enough amenities and cultural events, relatively affordable housing, while still having decent job opportunities. The main thing that I think that needs a lot of improvement is better public transport, especially rail (ideally some underground metro rail Ines), but there is a lot of advocacy pushing public and active transport, and at least some projects are in construction at the moment.

    If you are going to Darwin, I have a tip for you. Every Thursday evening there is a sunset market at Mindil beach which is a must see. The food stalls are terrific. The tip is regarding the famous Darwin sunsets. Tourists having heard about the famous Darwin sunsets will watch the sun set into the sea and as soon as they see it set they turn around and leave as they have seen the sunset. NO! The actual show starts AFTER the sun has set. For the next 45 minutes to an hour you will see a beautiful sky with constantly changing colours that is even more spectacular if there have been recent bushfires as the smoke particles refract the sunlight. We lived in Darwin for 30 years and our Mindil market routine used to be to take a picnic table and camping chairs with a nice bottle of wine, buy food from the food trucks and enjoy the changing colours of the sky after sunset over dinner.

      @@OnePackWanderers the Australian immigration program is opening up big time after the covid shutdown. There is admittedly a lot of opposition (house prices and rents being forced up etc etc) but Australia's economy thrives on having migrant inflows. Migrating to Australia is not as hard as one might think - especially as a "skilled migrant" if you have skills/qualifications that are in short supply. Unlike the US immigration system which is effectively a lottery, Australia actually searches out people with skills that our labour market needs.

After leaving Qantas I worked in many places where flying was needed to get to my office in the US, UK and Europe and I even went back to Jetstar 20 years later, so it is something that we live with but push past so to make sure we don't miss out on life.

    Now you’re heading my way. Good time of the year to be coming north. Weather is great. So glad you’re enjoying the open spaces. Keep safe.

    Another great video guys. Very proud of you Tia being able to talk about your anxiety and how you are conquering them. I'm so glad you both are enjoying your trip around Australia. I agree when summer comes it would be good to experience more inland. Especially as there has been so much snow in NSW an VIC over the past few days. It's been cold.

    One of the highlights of my week waiting for your updated video, love that you're exploring my home state of QLD :) The further North you go the lest crowded it will feel, the pace just slows down and the lifestyle is just so easy going. 🌴🍍🥭☀

    Hope you had a nice time in Brissy. It really is a lovely relaxed city with a fantastic outdoor vibe. Did you hike Mt Coot-tha to check out the view?. The weather in winter is just perfection. Nothing better than enjoying a great coffee outside on a sunny winters day. I was hoping you would check out the architecture of the gorgeous “queenslander homes”. Also surprised when people by pass Stradbroke island or Moreton Island. It’s just stunning and a world heritage listed marine park. Ps understand the anxiety. I visited New York in 2016 and it was so hard to get out there everyday with so many people. I felt like I was having a panic attack every time I left my hotel room.

    First time I’ve seen one of your blogs - the fact is was about my home town caught my attention 😊 It’s so nice to hear a visitor’s description of Brisbane - made me realise how lucky I am to live here. Thanks 🙏 😊

    You two are doing and saying things so well, that I was surprised and laughed when you put on sunscreen!
    -To be fair, I’ve not used the spray on stuff. Keep it up though. And hats. I’m hoping Tia finds a broader brim.
    Oh, important!! - When you two leave the city and go bush….find a dark place on a clear sky (maybe no moon) and look up at the sky. ✨✨

    Yes, I never thought I could travel the world alone with my anxiety. I'm actually get treatment monthly for mine. Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City was overload for me. There aren't too many places to hide. Keep on conquering your fears.

      @OnePackWanderers my therapist was shocked with me going to Asia. But I was kinda forced. But it took me forever to pull the trigger. Imagine me having panic attacks when I'm lost. Solo travel??? Yeah it's not pretty sometimes.

    Hey guys. I caught your channel when you got over the Nullabor (I'd just done the same that week) and have binged your vblogs since. Love it. You're a great team to watch and can only say "the best is yet to come" 😎👍 Be prepared, Bluey might have more troubles than you 😘❤

    You guys are amazing and beautiful souls, you transparency and sharing your challenges takes a lot I am sure and I am grateful you speak about it as it bring awareness to other. You guys bypassed all the Gold Coast waterfalls and beaches…I am sure you will see plenty of beautiful ones up north.

    Watching your videos of Australia, is making remember what we have here and what we sometimes take for granted. That's definitely one thing I'm very appreciative of in Australia - that we have this room the breathe and get away from the cities if we need to.

  • @stevekenny4732
    @stevekenny4732 ปีที่แล้ว

    I look forward to your videos so much, you guys are just so engaging and lovely, and the quality of the videos is sooo good, I feel like I'm doing the trip myself! I did travel around the country in the 80s with my now husband, but it looks very different now. Keep having fun and enjoying Australia and the time you are spending with each other. Just love how you two not only obviously love each other, but that you enjoy each other's company and you are mates as well! ❤

  • @andyjames2082
    @andyjames2082 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You two are great, so respectful to our country and you're visiting the out of the way places that are the essence of Australia. Really good video footage and dialog, I'm so happy you guys have enjoyed your experiences here. I watch quite a few videos of Americans visiting our country and the topics range around what's different at Maccas to people going bare foot at the supermarket (we do that) for crying out loud, thankyou for coming😊

  • @jamiecoutts1987

  • @timwhelan4347
    @timwhelan4347 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Glad you are having a good time, and getting to relax in nature. Don't worry Tia, everyone has issues they have to deal with. Cities can be quite stressful. :-) Not sure where you are now, or if you are heading to Cairns or going inland before then. if you do go to Cairns, the esplanade water area is nice and free. But the waterfalls around the atherton tablelands are great to get away from the crowds. (weekdays) you can swim at some of the waterfalls. I think you mentioned somewhere that you are not doing Far North QLD (FNQ) this trip.. so maybe something for another time.

  • @suerowan3594

    Hello Tia & Chev welcome to Brisbane and North Queensland where I am living at Yeppoon. If your not in Cairns yet. Palm Cove has a beautiful beach. a trip to Kuranda has a Scenic Railway. The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway offers ocean view gondola rides above a tropical rainforest. Port Douglas is another great location. Loving your Australian journey thank you Tia for your candid thoughts we all feeling like this at times I am not one for crowds also. Take Care enjoy North Queensland you will have a wonderful time. ❤😄😄

    Being "Vulnerable" is a wonderful thing Tia. You're just being yourself & people need to respect that. It's nothing to be ashamed of... Be you :) I watch you guys because you remind me so much of my son & his girlfriend. Please love Townsville (300 days sunshine). We just came back to Melbourne from there this week & loved it, can't wait to see what you think if you visit! Love your videos!

    Hi guys, I live in Sydney and started watching when you were in Melbourne! I developed panic disorder and agoraphobia coming out of lockdowns so I know exactly how you feel in crowds Tia! Thank you for sharing your experience, it means a lot to know that other people (who are super cool) also struggle with anxiety 😊😊

  • @frankandrews58

    3 things that are amazing about you guys, Tia talking about her anxiety is just so heartfelt and I am sure we all love you for that. The 2 pinapples with the seatbelt on is just hilarious and taking the piss out of our speech is the best of all and I personally love it!. You guys have to be at 100K subs before you finish your trip here....thats the objective ok.
