A missed turn on the way to the local corner shop for an ice cream, ended up going through the Australian Outbacks and Wilderness for 74 days.

There were many spectacular "barriers" on the way,  the Kimberley ( Gibb River Rd, Mitchell Falls, Cape Leveque, Winjana Gorge, Cable Beach, Geikie Gorge, Bungle Bungle etc.), the Canning Stock Route (the longest 4x4 track in the World), Ann Beadell Hwy, Breakaways, Painted Deserts, Oodnadatta Track, Uluru, Olgas, Chambers Pillar, Hay River Tracks & Madigan Line, Simpson Deserts, Flinders Ranges, Murray River, Darling River, Mungo National Park, Grampians, Great Ocean Road, Twelve Apostles etc.

This is an aerial impression of the trip from the eyes of a drone, the Mavic Pro.

Mavic survived a couple of out-of-communication syndromes, heavy head winds on returning home, the ubiquitous red dusts of Australia, the odd encounters with obstructive bushes, a crash to the side of a cliff which broke all the rotar blades, but finally, succumbed to winds off the Great Ocean Road with all its glorious battle scars........Long Live Mavic.

And finally, found that illusive ice cream shop, looks like I need to update my GPS.....enjoy the video.

Quite a journey and video journal.  Good job.

That journey sounds soooo exciting! But why 540p only? Would love to see this in HD

Wow, great video.
Put a lump in this Aussies throat seeing our wonderful country from above. I think your Mavic has more that paid for itself. Well done! Did you really loose it in the water after all that?

Jealous ! I wish I had that much time off to trip around Aus.

Mavic's last moment is in the video.

It was video with 27K, edited version is Full HD, but Vimeo limits it.

Wow! Australia is a beautiful place, have always wanted to visit but never had the time nor the money. Great job!

Quite a video.  Too bad you Vimeo wouldn't allow the HD.  Would have loved to see it with that kind of detail.

Wow, you'd really done a great job, Fred! I am impressive by this, thank you for sharing the beautiful sceneries you met during the journey.

Wow, what a ride!!!

Heck of an adventure!

My words exactly!

Great travel!

Great journey!
Maybe a bit on the long side and with some parts that need some attention (resolution,  lot's of very long shots that can easily be shortened while still showing the beauty of the location)

Magnificent work!
A ride that made your existence better, and worth!
