Enjoy your Japan trip… beautiful place…very polite people…apart from people in the hospitality sector few people speak English…which presents some funny moments….they really want to help but unable to communicate there was a lot of smiling and nodding from all parties😂. Japanese food, loved it. Our favourite place Kyoto where we stayed in a traditional ryokan…..enjoy👍

Good on you for walking. With injuries you are working your whole body more than ever to compensate so you would have def felt the heat so much more than most. So glad you saw some scenery on your walk. Wonderful, honest videos :) You guys "discuss" just like my hubby and I too.

John you crack me up lol 😂 I heard that Tracy 😂😂😂 The banter is just thesame as us trying to sort out bush walks in the middle of nowhere tears in my eyes from laughing. You film it I will watch it. Great entertainment worth the walk and better to go down the stairs than up ol 😂. I am from Wirrabara in the southern Flinders Ranges. Beautiful country.

We have a good chuckle watching you guys. Great scenes and informative videos and down to earth. I've been in Moorebank 2170 since coming from England in 1969. We hope to start caravanning later this year. We fairly desperately want to sell up and move but don't know where to. Have to start travelling to see where over 55s communities will suit. Cheers!!

@onlyleavingfootprints 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! We know Moorebank well. My family have good friends that lived on Jack O'Sullivan Drive for many many years starting around 1970's, funnily enough they also were from England and Jon lived in Moorebank for a few years as a little boy (can't remember the street). We were in an over 50's but didnt like the Body Cooperate side of things, feel to young for it all.. Good luck in your decision and enjoy your travels

@@onlyleavingfootprints thanks a lot for the reply. I really want to be living in our caravan, exploring this great land, just like you are. Hopefully the planets will align later in the year for us to begin with just a nsw south Coast trip. We think 3 months away should tell us what to leave at home or take with us for longer trips further away. Anyway thanks again and wishing all the very best for your travelling!!

(remember i saw your doppelganger in Aldi Queanbeyan LOL) Don't move here or Canberra it is SOOOO EXPENSIVE. But we would LOVE for you to come camping here or somewhere close by and we would come join you. We'll bring beers 🙂You won't be shy with us cause I can talk too LOL. BTW you guys did well doing this walk. I too was lost from the directions. You did it through the pain and made it back, without being rescued hahaha. Looking forward to seeing Darwin.

Hi from Brunswick Junction in the south west of WA. Our son and daughter in law lived in Katherine (both in the Airforce) and we’ve done this gorge tour a couple of times and it just beautiful.
