Take that $50 paper note to a Coin, Note & Medal collector shop. But check online first. You will get more than fifty dollars for it. Some old ones are valued between $75 to over $375 dependent on the serial number and year.

Cheveyo's Aussie accent is getting pretty good! I think stopping at all possible Big Things is a must at this point.

The BIG THINGS!!! Yesssss I'm so glad they're making a comeback. Don't let Cheveyo discourage you, Tia haha. Luna is the best name, it suits her.

The irony with that $50 bill is that those old paper $50 bills are worth way more than $50 now. Pity it's been folded but defo worth well above $50 - pocket it (flat in a book) until you get to Adelaide and take it to a coin dealer shop.

Cheveyo let Tia have her big things. How can you deny her, she gets so excited and is so freakin' cute!!

Cheveyo's grumbling at the big things gives me life

We’re glad you’re back in Australia too. Two of our best adopted ambassadors

The Big Pinapple just reopened on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. It's a must for Tia! 😂

It’s so good to see our “honorary Aussies” back in Australia.

Petrol Station? Give these guys Honorary Citizenships!

Top tip for flies, don't wear dark clothing. You'll notice a huge difference if you stop wearing black /dark colours and start wearing light colours. Also wearing long sleeved, cotton shirts regulates temp much better. Get some work clothes, workers wear clothes suited to long hours in all weather conditions. Final top tip for travelling, you can use your car a/c to make flies in your car docile.

You two are honorary Aussies by now. You have already seen more of Oz than most Australians. Love your videos and life outlook. keep doing what you guys do best and I hope you have another great trip here.

Ningaloo Reef area‼ Your drone will LOVE you for it❣ Whale sharks, dolphins, manta rays, and that's just the boring stuff 🤩 BTW I think the drone deserves a name too, she just keeps on giving📸 Stay safe out there 😃👍

Just a tip - flies (particularly march/horse flies) are more attracted to dark coloured clothing...🙃

I like seeing the big things because it makes Tia so happy, and makes Cheveyo so cranky 😂

I mean, lets be honest - Tia changing the whole trip purely because of the slim pickings of Big Things just makes sense, LOL safe travels OPW 🥰

Flys are why Australians learn how to speak without opening their mouths, and economise on the number of syllables used for any given word.

You two are adorable. It's almost worth watching your videos just for the cuteness. But the thing I love most is that you actually TRAVEL!! I won't name names, but of the dozen or so travel-related channels I subscribed to before the pandemic, only one really still travels. Everyone else has morphed into something else to still bring in that KZfaq $$$. Stay traveling and stay real. Your route is one I have wanted to do for years.

So proud of you guys - do you know how many Americans can’t pronounce “Ute” - you truly do deserve status as an honorary Australian

In 1977, a school-mate and I (+ Bo, the dog and a kitten we picked up in Darwin!) did a terrestrial circumnavigation of Australia, including a trip from Darwin into Alice springs and Uluru/Ayers Rock, in a 1972 HQ Holden one ton ute. We were 18 and had just finished school the year before. The cheapest petrol we found was 13 c/litre in Sydney. The most expensive was 30 c/litre at Uluru. Our total fuel spend was a tad over 700 dollars. We had built a canvas canopy on the back of the ute which rose about a metre above the roof of the cabin and acted like an airbrake. We could barely reach 100 kph downhill with a tailwind! I estimate that 50% of the trip was done on corrugated dirt roads and the ute never missed a beat; not even a flat tyre. The whole trip took us about 3 months.

The $50 is still legal tender and can be exchanged at a bank, though currency collectors might give you more than face value. It’s a pity it can’t be exchanged for the actual value of the bill for when it was actually made ( in the 90’s?) its probable devalued several times.

As a child, my family travelled a lot. The big things were what broke up the long (sometimes monotonous) drives. We rarely stopped at them, but they became markers, a bit like mile markers. Indicators of where we were, how far we had travelled and how much further we had to go. Sometimes they are in lovely parks you can stop and picnic together as a family. The painted silos and big things are Australia’s way of stopping for a moment or breaking up a really long trip. Plus we can have an odd sense of humour. I don’t think you will find an Aussie that will disagree with you re flies. It turns out that Australia has a lot of them and many different species. They are excellent pollinators and in some ways more important than bees for native wildlife. Plus they provide quite a food source to many insect loving animals. There is something amazing about how the Australian desert landscape responds to rain. One day it is dry and barren then with an overnight rain the plants come alive with flowers and there is green everywhere. It’s quick simply because the plants don’t know when it will rain next, so they only have a short amount of time to flower, be pollinated and create seeds. It’s pretty magical and I am glad you got to see it.

Highlight- Tia being very brave. Extra highlight- Cheveyo nearly calling Tia a scrubber! Tia needs to learn some retaliatory slag offs.

One of the best big things is the Big Rocking Horse near Gumeracha in SA, you can climb to the top for only $2.

I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of rugged mountain ranges, Of drought and floo...... these far-ken flies!

It's fantastic you guys are back and through your videos and the drone some of us Aussies are probably seeing more than we will get the opportunity to. Enjoy.

the most amazing thing about your trip is that people like myself 68yrs have never seen or never will see about 95% of what your seeing.your filming is so good and your humour kills me.pee in the lake lol.the big things classic,why not move here permanatly,and which part would you choose to live in ????👏👏

YOU GUYS INSPIRED ME TO STUDY ABROAD IN AUSTRALIA NEXT YEAR!!! ❤

I did notice when Cheveyo said petrol station, because I expected gas station. I'm glad he was thinking it should be servo :D

I was so hoping the 'Big Things' would make a come back - Yay! oh and its pronounced Ka-NAH-Vin (Carnarvon)

Haha Tia's face on the other side of the marble! Worth seeing it just for that.

Big Things: Quote from the Australian Classic Movie "The Castle"(1996): "One has to have a passion for something ..." (Darryl Kerrigan)

Fun fact, if you look at the fuel gauge, it should have a little arrow pointing to the side the filler is on!

I know that Mazda was very gracious with the Ute but perhaps and fuel card from one the local providers might have been even more fabulous for you guys to come back and allow us to travel vicariously and support your budget for future travels.

A bit of info on the old paper money from the Reserve Bank of Australia website is “All previous issues of Australian banknotes retain their legal tender status. However, it is a long time since some of these banknotes were issued into circulation in Australia and some retailers or members of the public may be reluctant to accept them. People may be unfamiliar with the designs and may suspect the banknotes to be counterfeit. Most commercial banks will redeem old Australian banknotes at face value. A commercial bank may require some time to confirm that a banknote from a previous series is genuine or may need to send such banknotes to the Reserve Bank for confirmation.”

I predict the two of you will end up making your home in Australia. Your obvious affection for the place is too strong to ignore.

Cheveyo has his Oz-isms. Tia has her big things. I say that's a fair trade. :)

You've got the great "Aussie salute" down pat.

I watch quite a few "travelling couples" on youtube....but I think the main reason you are the best in my mind is because you're both just such great storytellers and also technically very good too. Often you see a couple where one is the more charismatic and makes the viewer feel part of the journey, and the other person is technically great at film and b-roll and lighting,etc. But you guys are just both rockstars at everything. The little places you leave a camera to draw us in and make us feel like we're there with you, is really just amazing. Can't wait for more of this trip. I know its going to be hard to stack up to the vibe in the first trip here (and maybe that feels intimidating to everyone) but I know you can do it, and I can sense your energy already ready for this time around :)

I was born in WA in the first half of last century. I lived there until I moved to the Eastern States in 1971. (To get work after leaving university.). During the 1960s I travelled extensively in W.A. With various people. In particular I did a long trip up the coast to just north of Carnarvon and then inland coming back through the dry central area to Kalgoorlie and then back to Perth. The images of the Murchison gorges really made me nostalgic as I have not been there since! Thank you for making an old bloke very happy. (For the record I would LOVE to walk out on that skywalk! When I was there we could only scramble to the edges and peer over. No tourist facilities at all!)

If it was in my power I would grant you both permanent Residents In a heartbeat. Who knows maybe we could find someone to sponsor you guys to become permanent residents.

Hi Guys, great video and welcome back. It is really nice to be able to live vicariously through your travels. As an Australian I don't think a lot of us appreciate the country we have around us. Tia, you cracked me up with your fear of heights. It must be horrible for you but very funny to watch. Enjoy yourselves and safe travels.

All of the preceding complimentary comments apply - Aussies love you, especially for returning.

Love the oz-isms! It's always a joy to see Cheveyo use his aussie accent for slang, and we get to learn some new terms at the same time!

Hearing Cheveyo saying, "You'd love to live in Australia". Like The Old Nike Ad Tia and Cheveyo. "Just DO IT" and MOVE to Australia. A HUGE Country with tiny population. Pete Far Nth NSW. 🌄

I have the same sentiments of Oz…absolutely love it and would move there if it was easy. I grew up in WA and returned for the first time in February after 45 years. Going back again next year. 😊

You guys really crack me up, the attempt at Aussie accents, how you say all the towns you visited, the slang book. Love watching your journeys!

I love how much you both love our country and appreciate the beauty of it. Like even the not so pretty parts that most tourists dislike, you see the beauty in it. We’d love to have you here! ❤ God bless

The wallaby you saw in Kalbarri looked like a Black Flanked (or Black Foot) rock wallaby. That was pretty special, they are endangered and only survive in a select few locations. They fill a niche in the environment occupied by goats and/ or sheep on other continents. Plus super cute.

Just hoping you guys are going to Karijini national park/gorges while in WA. FYI Not seeing Karijini is like going to Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower or Arizona and not seeing the Grand Canyon. One of the most spectacular places on earth. It’s also close to wild flower season in WA

You’re going to pass 2 places that are significant in my wife’s history. She was driving back to Perth from Broome, and had stopped at Fortescue Roadhouse. At the same time, a cyclone had been threatening the area, but had been downgraded and was heading back out to sea. When they went into the roadhouse for dinner, the owner asked if they were there to see the cyclone; it had changed direction, and upgraded. They lasted until 11pm, with their tent flapping madly, and decided to move on, avoiding fleeing wildlife on the road. They made it to Nanutarra Roadhouse by 1am, and rested for 2 hours before deciding to move on. They made it to Perth 14 hours later, having had no contact on the road - no mobile phones back then. Family thought they had been caught in the cyclone, when they suddenly turned up tired, but safe.

Big things and bloopers are back! I appreciate a clean engine on a new car as well. Your channel has made me curious about a country that wasn't on my radar. Thank you for showing the beauty of Australia. That sky walk. Tia, you are braver than I.

*There's some interesting history* in the area just north of Kalbarri. Murchison House Station is a 350,000 acre pastoral property that was once owned by Mukarram Jah, ‘The Eighth Nizam of Hyderabad, Regulator of the Realm, the Victor in Battles, descendant of the Viceroys of the Deccan, and heir to India's greatest dynasty since the Mughals’. At one time he was the wealthiest man in India, owning six palaces, a fleet of cars, and ‘enough jewels to fill a swimming pool’. But for some reason he retreated into self-imposed exile at Murchison House, where he spent his time tinkering on an eclectic range of vehicles including tanks and other military equipment. Eventually his fortune trickled away, and after selling Murchison House in 1996 he ended up in a two room apartment in Istanbul, Turkey - where he died in 2023. And a bit further north of Murchison House is the site of the Zuytdorp wreck. The Zuytdorp rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 1712 headed for Batavia (modern Indonesia) and disappeared from history. 200 years later she was discovered by Tom Pepper, a part-Aboriginal stockman at Tamala cattle station. She was carrying 200,000 pieces of newly minted Dutch silver, and her discovery has led to a colorful cast of characters doing their best to lay hands on the treasure - legitimately or otherwise. Nobody knows what became of the wreck survivors, but personal items and equipment from the ship have been found at various locations on the clifftops above the site. There was also traces of a large fire - perhaps a signal fire for passing ships. Whether they perished there, or were taken in by local Aboriginal tribes is a mystery. I’ve been there a few times and spent the night in the strange caves along the top where the survivors must once have huddled. I didn’t get much sleep, with the booming of the waves crashing below and my mind full of the ghosts of the past. And at one point during the night when I was running my torch over the landscape, the beam picked up a pair of eyes that appeared at the cliff edge, then were gone.

I wish you could move here too. I wouldn't invite just anyone, but you guys are so friendly and open minded you would be an asset. You could make a great business for yourselves in tourism. Oh, and stop giving Tea shade about the 'big things'. We love our big things. How strange West Aussie hasn't followed the eastern seaboards fascination for all touristy things oversized. Love the name Luna for the 4 wheel drive. Well done 😎

regarding THE BIG THINGS, I love seeing how happy it makes Tia. So please keep going to them, wish you all the best for this trip. greetings from Switzerland

Let me add a BIG shout-out for doing the BIG things! The old paper bank notes are legal tender forever (as long as they're undamaged), but retailers can get confused or suspicious about whether they're genuine because they're not in circulation anymore. You can exchange them at face value at a bank though the bank may wish to check whether or not it's counterfeit. Or if a collector is willing to pay more than face value, go for it!

Chevayo secretly likes the big monuments of Australia. Plus your G’day Aussie accent is pretty spot on mate 👍🏼

I love how much you love our Big Things. A lot of people think that they’re hokey and cringey but some of us think they’re iconic or kind of cool. I’ve only seen a couple myself but there’s a photo of me in front of the big pineapple when I was a baby. We have some amazing sights and places in Australia and I haven’t been able to see as much as I would like. Would definitely love to take the kids on a major road trip one day. We all hate the flies 😂

Any video that starts with a map of all the Big Things in Oz is bound to be awesome!! and it certainly didn't disappoint. Just love the playful banter between you both as you travel along. Cracked me up watching Tia navigate her way on the Skywalk and her remark about the kid shaking the bridge. Once again your drone footage take your vids to another level.. the birds eye views are spectacular. Thanks for this vid. Travel safe ❤

I am so excited that you are back in Australia! Your videos are so fun to watch and the filming is amazing!

Coffee is great in WA, and the quality really doesn’t diminish in regional and remote areas either. Loving your trip so far , thanks for sharing xx

South Australia was the only state which officially didn't have convicts during white settlement.

I'll for sure be tuning in a lot more now that you're back in Australia. Your first trip is when I initially discovered your channel, and normally I can't stand how travel vloggers stylize their content but you guys do it right. I'm a Canadian who's obsessed with Australia and hope to go myself someday. Until that happens I'll happily travel that beautiful country vicariously through these vids, so thank you for doing what you do 😄

Nice work Cheveyo. First KZfaq video I've ever seen with the word "scrubber" used in the Aussie context. Proud of you! You'll have your Australian citizenship criteria satisfied in no time at this rate.

Don’t forget the Big Oyster in Taree! While you’re in Taree you can take a walk along the Manning river. Look up Harry Bennett Park too. It used to be Taree’s old pool. Now they’ve made it an amphitheatre and sitting area. Also yes!!! All the big things!

WHEN you decide to bite the bullet and get your hat....make sure you buy two (2) fly nets that fit over the top of your hats. Don't worry about how you look filming in them, just wear them anyway. People will still watch. The flies in some areas will be so thick that they will fly into your mouth while talking. So I would just film with them on. If you're worried about people seeing your faces under your hats, look into the camera's menu about opening up the f- stop by ½ a stop when you have your hats and nets on. that will brighten up the images. Or you can do this in post if that is easier. Oh get yourselves some cheap 100litre plastic tubs with lids so you can put stuff in the tray and it won't get wet. Stuff like food and towels etc. it'll free up the back seat some. And DO NOT drive in the dark as there WILL BE animals on the road!!!

Thanks for the shout-out to us West Aussies and our coffee. I know many coffee 'snobs' (including myself) who love a good smooth coffee. I don't mind driving the 20 minutes to my favourite coffee shop to get my hit.❤🇦🇺

Thank you for another awesome video. The way you showcase our beautiful country with an injection of personality, humour and 'real life' make you a joy to watch ❣

I had a weird wave of nostalgia seeing that old $50. That's what money looked like when I was a kid. As everyone else has said it's definitely still legal tender, but I can understand some shops not feeling comfortable with it; it's probably older than either of you! 😂 I like the suggestions that a collector might pay more. That would be so cool. Definitley keep up the big thing trail 😊

Dropped everything to watch when I discovered you’d uploaded a new vlog - so unexpectedly soon! Thoroughly entertaining - smiled all the way through! About the flies - yes very annoying and as East Coasters we found the flies in WA to be more in abundance and stickier and if you want to avoid swallowing any, I suggest a hat with net - Tia you would look cute in anything! You are also wearing the worse possible colour - flies are attracted to dark colours - especially black - to camouflage from predators like lizards! The thing I’ve discovered about pink lakes in Aus is that the ones that don’t appear pink or as pink to the eye will show up vibrant pink in a photo. Thrilled to see you using the Big Things map and OZ-isms guide - invaluable resources and pleased you were able to stumble upon your own Big Thing to add to the list - hilarious! Excited you explored Kalbarri National Park whilst enabling us to revisit our own memories of the park! WA is our favourite state to visit and like you, we have tossed around the idea of relocating or retiring to Perth. I’m not mad you didn’t choose Bruce or Bazza - Luna is also a fine name and there is an Aus connection given our Luna Parks - Sydney and Melbourne and the long history of Luna Parks across Aus! The old $50 note is still legal tender (ex-bankie here) and the fact it has been rejected must be a generational thing - shop assistants being born after or too young when they were phased out or perhaps paranoia that there was a risk it was counterfeit or stolen from a pawn or note and coin dealership (Tia 😆) Oh, and it’s CAN-AR-VON! Happy travels! 😊

Yes!! we need to see all the big things that you can find on this journey. The big marble was fantastic 😊

To beat the flies, turn on the air conditioning on in the ute. They dont like the cold. Enjoy your trip.

And you've got to watch "The Castle"!

wuhuu, nice to see you back in Australia. I really loved your Australia Videos, they actually inspired me to come to Australia. You have just drove past me, as i'm currently living in Kalbarri 😄 I'm planning to do the same route you do right now in a few weeks 😁

Glad to have you back. Tia is doing great with the height challenges. Last visit it was the Gloucester Tree climb and this time the boardwalk. Well done for giving it a go. 🎉🎉

Yes don’t spend the $50! You can’t get them now and it should be worth more!

Big Mines, Big Trains, Big Beaches, Big Deserts, Big Farms, Big Whales, Big Jetty's and Big Smiles - The West has lots to offer!

Great video again guys and impressive drone shots too :) Hope you aren't getting too bored with the same scenery heading North but it will be worth it once you get to the Pilbara etc :) Cheveyo you need a broad brim hat (Akubra) with corks hanging down or lots of Fly Spray..

I'm excited for more big things!

Gday and welcome back mate

Most tourist are worried about the crocs & snakes but the flys will get them every time.

THE BIG THINGS ARE MY FAVORITE!! The footage of Tia through the marble made me LOL and i am so sad we didnt get a shot of Cheveyo behind it too! It’s also hilarious to think of you driving miles out of the way for these moments

Adelaide also has The Big Rocking Horse, which isn't even on that map...

Yes, Cheveyo ... we NEED to see the big things!

So nice to see you back. Enjoy!

Hello, I hope you enjoy the rest of my home state. As for the "Big" things I dont much care for them when im sightseeing, but I absolutely love watching Tia's joy in them.

Western Australia was also the last colony to stop the transportation of convicts from England.

Chevy we gotta get you saying “ALDI” like an Aussie… i.e. NOT “Oldie” 😂😂😂

You missed the giant western rock lobster at Dongara on the way to Geraldton. I’m surprised the shops don’t take paper money anymore, nice to see an old school $50, thanks for that.

Welcome back to Aus guys! So cool of Mazda to "sponsor" your trip keep the fuel consumption numbers coming please! I just upgraded my monitor yesterday to a Samsung G8 OLED and this was the first video I watched where I was simply blown away by the picture quality in the nature scenes!!! Wow watched a bunch of your videos in the past but blown away by the quality for a couple of KZfaq backpackers! I feel like I'm seeing your video better than you unless you have a pretty smanchy laptop on the road with you (smancy is a word on urban dictionary if you need to look it up). Have a great trip I'll keep tuning in

The $50 note is legal tender and cannot be refused. You can change it at any post office or bank.

Better coffee than Melbourne, grrrr that's fighting words LOL

Loving the Aussie videos guys. So jealous. I too would move to Aus in a heartbeat. I'm a 53yo Brit & been dreaming of moving since my first visit over 20 years ago. Have fun ❤

Some of the best snorkelling I did was in Turquoise Bay near Exmouth. You can walk out to a reef with turtles. Float along in the current. Just be careful to get out before the end of the beach or the current can take you out to sea.

Deep down Cheveyo loves the 'Big Things' and wants to see every single one. A 'Big Things Special' video one day would be great.

Tia with the most important map of Australia

Wow, you're back! Welcome back! Im happy to hear this. :-) I hoped you'd both be back when you left earlier on, but didn't really expect you guys to return. On a side note, I bet you will be getting a lot of Australian destination suggestions again like you were last time. Lol. Let the games begin! Lol. I look forward to your videos. From an Aussie.

bugger missed you as you went through Geraldton .have fun on this journey ,following all the way cheers

👍Fantastic as always ❤ As far as we’re concerned you can stay in Australia as long as you like 😀🇦🇺

The Aus $50 note also called a ‘Pineapple’ 🍍given it’s yellow colour! 😊
