Hi Jon, To make it quicker when filling your water tank if you get a piece of clear plastic tubing and fit it to your filler, then feed the plastic tube into the filler hole to the bottom of the tank. This solves the blowback problem. It fills faster.

@onlyleavingfootprints 7 ай бұрын

Hi there, totally makes sense. Would work for our second tank as it is right near the filler hole however the first tank sits right down the front of the van so I would need to thread the pipe a long way. Will give it a go (you wont see it for months yet as we are behind in our videos) Thanks for watching

I am one towing a boat, usually going to King Ash Bay fishing, lots of people tow boats from the south to go barramundi fishing.

Sounds great! Hope you catch big fish. We will have to check out King Ash Bay next time we come through. Thanks for watching

@davidriggs5116 7 ай бұрын

Regards to so many boats. Yeh, we found out that, too. Most of the guys we spoke to, where heading to the gulf. King Ash Bay, Limmen River fishing camp, there are literally heaps of other places to fish in the NT, and of course for fishing for the elusive barra. So we got used to seeing heaps of boats.

@onlyleavingfootprints 7 ай бұрын

You know I dont like Barra (me, Tracie) to strong for me. Glad we weren't the only ones wondering about the boats lol. Thanks for watching

@ricknoble5847 7 ай бұрын

With your drone you can push rth (return to home) and it will come back to your home point, make sure your altitude is set higher than any obstacles eg trees

Hello Jon and Tracie, I must say Jon did a great job of flying the drone for the first time. Barkly Homestead is a good spot to relax before the drive to Tennant Creek. Till next week safe travels

Great free camp at gunpowder. I’m following you on my map. Surprised when the drone was up how many trees everywhere. I see what you mean about the boats. Don’t blame you having power that’s hot. Barkley homestead is a nice spot and of coarse the food is expensive. Loved the goanna s great episode 👍

@onlyleavingfootprints 7 ай бұрын

It really was a good camp. OMG it has been soooo hot, you hear on the news how hot places are but I think when you experience it, its very different. Thanks for watching

Hi @onlyleavingfootprints great video! I met you both in Broome at the beach front caravan park. We were talking about the black jack jockey wheel and you were explaining the wheel chocks. We had a few laughs. I subscribed to your channel. Colin.

Hi Colin, we remember lol. Jon had a a great chat to you, he loves those chocks lol. Hope your travelling well. Thanks for subscribing and watching. Plenty more to come

@janiceatkinson5112 7 ай бұрын

I think the boats are either going to or from King Ash Bay in the NT. It is a great fishing spot.

Did not know about these areas. We needed more time to explore but maybe not in the wet season, to hot . Thanks for the comment

Not sure about different reason for all the boats, maybe heading to Darwin for the fishing or with wet season comes flooding. The Barkly Homestead had a fire in the kitchen at the end of 2022. I remember Franklins, the large packet of Chico's were my fav during 1st child pregnancy. Great flying of the drone John, you'll get better with more use.

Oh Bugger we have moved on from Darwin. We were there for two weeks so that would have been a nice meet up. We are a little behind with the videos, so much to show and can only really do around 30 min vids, dont want to bore people to much lol. Until our next time through, thanks for watching
