00:00sort of at the start of the trip I'd just gone and done parts of South Australia and then gone
00:04I started my way across the Nullarbor and Bundercliffs is one of the most beautiful
00:10places you're on the edge of the earth you feel like you're on the edge of the earth
00:13right at the bottom of Australia and I got to the roadhouse a little bit late and I was like
00:20oh I
00:21was just starting out so I was a little bit more I guess scared and just a bit cautious and
00:27then I
00:28met these two couples that were like no no come with us so I ended up going down with them
00:32I bought
00:33like two dozen oysters in streaky bay and got out there my mum had given me this beautiful bottle
00:38of champagne she's like open this somewhere that you're really proud of yourself that you can just
00:42enjoy it and I just had the best night we were literally right and I guess sometimes that is
00:47known to be very very windy but it was like a beautiful night we had a beautiful fire there
00:53were dolphins there were whales and we were right on the bottom of the the country so it was that
00:59was
00:59probably one of my favourite moments and then Karajini National Park in WA that was pretty
01:05spectacular too just the red dirt nature like I was doing yoga one morning and dingoes right there it
01:11was just it was very cool so and actually in WA south of Exmouth I had my 38th birthday down
01:18in one
01:19of the camps there and that is one of the most beautiful spots I've ever been so there was a
01:23couple of really amazing ones in there everyone's like what did you do every day but I feel like
01:27this like the surprising part was how much you can just fill in a day like you you wake up
01:32with
01:32the sunrise like I always made sure I had good coffee with me then I'd do a bit of yoga
01:37I'd go for
01:38it like the amount of times I just hiked and then would go for a swim there's all these beautiful
01:42pools
01:43you can swim in I swam more in WA than I ever thought I would especially up in Broome you
01:47just
01:47there's so many places to swim and I feel like that for me was one of the most surprising parts
01:54that
01:55you end up filling your life or filling that time of your life the days with the most beautiful I
02:02don't
02:02know wholesome things that you end up like I kind of felt more like myself than I had in a
02:08really
02:08really long time one of the funniest mishaps actually was I bought this pearl in Broome and as
02:16like I worked on the boat so it was like a little reward for myself and I went in to
02:20do the give
02:20river road so I actually did the whole give by myself but part of that like there's these rocks
02:26you can jump off in Manning Gorge and I actually lost it in the gorge but as this French guy
02:32was
02:33trying to dive down and find it there's this big snake that's like coming down the rocks like everyone
02:39at the the gorge was involved it was like the biggest ordeal but nothing happened there the snake
02:44didn't bite anyone but there was a big um I think it was a big whip snake that one but
02:49yeah lots of
02:50snakes everywhere um well not lots everywhere but I saw a few in in the territory in WA so they're
02:56definitely there but no no bites I'm really proud of myself for the way I did it and I think
03:01there
03:01was an element to it where I was completely exposed but also there's elements of that where I was
03:07vulnerable and you can't just pack up and go and certainly in times when it it's pouring rain and
03:14you're supposed to be in a swag like there was a lot of times that I felt I was going
03:18to be on one of
03:19those BCFs at BCFs when the swag's just like floating down the river because it was raining so I I
03:25100%
03:26will do it again I will probably just look at what that looks like with um setup and potentially um
03:34um having a mattress in a car and um just so you can I don't know you you're closed off
03:41from the
03:41elements you can leave if you want to leave I still would do it in a four-wheel drive though
03:45because
03:46the four-wheel drive gave me access to so many different places that if I just went in a van
03:50I
03:50wouldn't have so um yeah I'd do it slightly different but I'd definitely do it again
03:56you
04:00you
04:01you
