another amazing spot and YAY, no drama:)
Good Day Tim and Sandy
Such great views!
Boys Trip! Hey Tim, Sandy and Pablo 👋😎 hope you’re doing well. Great video. I just stayed at a hotel here in the states that served Scones for breakfast. One was blueberry and the other was lemon poppyseed.
I spent time out there with a Vietnam Vet that sadly past away this year, great spot great memories – Thankyou for the video Tim.
Be careful of the mosquitoes because they could carry Japanese encephalitis which is very dangerous to humans. Pablo looked like he was having a good time atop your Bunnings shopping trolley but then again, who doesn’t have a good time at Bunnings? 😂
Amazing sunset! What a great spot, lots of room by the look of it to spread out a bit, thanks for sharing 😊
Hello 🌻The Sand Van, I enjoying your view of the land and town 🙏🏽🙏🏽🌎🌎🌻🌻
We camped at the paid caravan park right in town on the way to the Bird Photography Conference in the Adelaide Hills. There was a huge flock of pelicans working as a team feeding, It was amazing to watch as the lined up and simultaneously used their beaks to trap fish. Great spot. Active sailing club there as well..
I hope you went and got yourself a special ‘pizza’ from the Future Bakery. Their shop sign is in your vid. There is nothing better. The owner is just lovely. Whenever we are in victoria we will travel to Colac for the Future Bakery. When there last year we did ask if they would deliver to Tassie…..sensational.
Hi Tim and Pablo different without sandy there from Nanna di Mildura
Argh!! Thumbnails are the bain of my existence!!! I know exactly what you’re talking about! One thing you can be thankful for: YouTube is really touchy about true crime channels like mine, so while attempting to create a thumbnail that grabs attention, alongside a catchy title, you have to try to figure out which words are likely to get your video de-monetised on that particular week (seriously, there’s no rhyme or reason, but I’ve even had a video de-monetised for using “nailed” in the thumbnail & then after deleting video & re-uploading with a new thumbnail had no problems 🙄🙄)
We stayed at Lake Colac a few weeks ago. It was beautiful and we will be back
Thanks Tim and Pablo for another lovely video 😊
