Good morning guys, I know Stephen told you guys that we'll be waking up at 4 o'clock
to go hot air balloon riding and we were getting ready, it was like 4.30am, we're almost ready
and then we got a call saying that it was too windy so we couldn't go hot air ballooning
so I'm really hoping that they can reschedule for another day we're here.
But we've still got so many exciting things to do today, today we're going to be riding
a camel in the desert of Australia, which sounds amazing and also meant that we got
a little bit of a sleep in so it is currently 10 o'clock and we are about to go meet everyone
down in the lobby and go out for breakfast.
So we're not having much luck with the weather, it's now starting to rain so probably a good
idea that we cancel on the hot air ballooning.
We've just come into the town of Alice Springs, we're going to try some good food, I am super
duper hungry now because you know when you wake up early and go back to sleep, your body
still thinks it's like 4am.
Oh my gosh, we've just been served the ultimate breakfast, this is so good, anyway cheers
everyone.
Cheers guys, welcome to the empty.
We just finished up with breakfast and now we're having a little wander through the streets
of Alice Springs.
It looks like they have like one major street that's really long, just full of shops and
cute cafes and stuff, I didn't expect them to have like cool hipster cafes but they do,
the food was delicious.
I think in like an hour after we explore, we're actually meeting up with everyone and
going out for another coffee, we loved it that much.
Are we in Alice Springs right now or Melbourne?
Australia really does love their coffee, even in the middle of nowhere.
Number 3 for the day.
Oh my gosh, we're on a camel.
Hello.
It looks so small from up here.
Yeah, it's so cute.
They're chasing him.
So beautiful that the sun has come out and this is the first time we've seen the red
dirt because we've kind of been in the town for most of our time.
And how cool is it, we get to see it on a camel.
This is so beautiful, I just love how Archie has come with us the entire time.
Where's my camel troop gone?
Literally, jumped off my camel and said can I quickly fly the drone, which by the way,
incredible drone footage, if you guys enjoyed that drone footage, let me know below.
And then 5 minutes later, I'm in the middle of the outback and I don't know where everyone
is, I've just got red dirt and cows that chase dogs, so let's get back.
How beautiful is this red dirt?
Oh my goodness, I love the colour.
Alrighty, it's been 30 seconds since my last update with you guys, starting to feel a bit
parched.
Still in the middle of the nowhere, the nowhere, yeah, that's what I'm calling you, the nowhere.
Where's Archie?
Should be out here to come save me.
Alrighty, do you want my best Aussie outback tracker?
I think, yes, yes, that, that looks like camel, camel tracks, I think, I think they're down
that way.
Oh dear, what have I spotted?
Why are you looking at me?
Why?
Found billabong, not all hope is lost.
What is this?
A foreign, foreign phone device.
See if this can help.
Hello?
Where are you guys?
I have, I've walked, I think I'm near, it says Uluru, 10 kilometres.
I see a search party.
Almost home.
Oh my goodness, that was so much fun, I'm so glad that the weather cleared up.
Did you have fun?
Yes, it was amazing.
If you guys ever come to Alice Springs, you have to come on a camel ride.
I feel like it's just going to be the top thing to do here, and as you can see from
the drone footage, that like outback that we were walking through was breathtaking.
Amazing.
Such a highlight of the day.
This is like our first time seeing like proper red, orange dirt.
It's awesome.
Time for dinner.
We've just arrived at the Earth Sanctuary for an Outback Aussie dinner, and we are having
the nicest sunset right now.
As you can see, Stephen has been taking a lot of photos, he's loving it.
I'll show you where we're eating, it's so nice, we're outside, I think we're going to
be cooking damper, and all the good stuff.
So this place is all about sustainable living, and some of you guys might remember this from
when we stayed in Glamping Domes in Margaret River.
Who remembers these?
Well, at this place, people actually live in them.
How awesome is that?
So we're going to be having dinner here, and look at this view.
This is amazing.
I can't believe this is this person's backyard.
I'm very jealous.
On a sandy floor, or it might be on a cave.
Oh, got ourselves a bit of a feast.
I love how the floor is literally like red dirt.
Look at all my white shoes.
Oh no, you shouldn't have brought new shoes.
And look at this little Outback setting we've got for dinner.
Alright, we finished dinner, and now we're going to go find some stars.
Alrighty, we just made some damper.
This looks really nice.
Looks a bit like fairy bread, actually.
Mmm, tea sounds good.
Just got back to our hotel.
We had such an amazing dinner at the Earth Sanctuary, and we had like an hour talk about
the stars, and no one could put lights on, so we could have a look at the night sky.
There's no moon out at the moment, so it was amazing.
We did shoot a time-lapse, but those green lights, they're not aliens, they're not UFOs,
they're actually the laser.
We noticed that they came up in the video.
But oh my gosh, that was such an awesome night, and we made damper and stuff like that.
Really fun, but I know we said it last night, but hopefully we'll be seeing you
at 4am for our hot air balloon ride.
We rescheduled it, it looks like it's going to be way better weather tomorrow,
so fingers crossed we get to do that.
So hopefully see you guys in like 5 hours.
But goodnight guys, and we'll see you tomorrow.
Want to say goodnight?
Night!
