A quick trip

[Omnywrench]

I once read somewhere that the Kangaroo is considered Australia's official animal because they cannot walk backwards. Either it symbolizes progress, or it symbolizes Australians' inability to walk backwards.

Can you walk backwards, askegg?

[askegg]

We have 2 animals on the national coat of arms - the other is the Emu. A large flightless rather stupid bird with it's legs on backwards. What does that say about Australians?

I can moonwalk - does that count?

[Omnywrench]

I dunno- do you normally stick your head in the sand when frightened? Or is that ostriches?

[Joddit]

It's nice to see some of where people live. Would you do this again in summer? View-wise it must be much better then...

[alphgeek]

Haha 6:17 it looks like you did a donut! WRXs look to have got a bit flasher inside since I had my MY00.

[1Weemaryanne]

Um, on the next driving time-lapse could you please turn off the radio? The chipmunky noise is annoying. Apart from that, it was a fun drive to watch.

[Paxmax]

sweet drive, sweet car, crappy weather! =o(

It's funny how you can distinguish the boxer exhaust sound on subaru's... just like the beetle sound.

[Gnug215]

Oh wow, that song at the beginning is great! What is it?

[traveler420]

Man that looks like a nice fun drive in the Scooby! I have an 07 WRX myself. Hard to tell under time lapse but looks like you were having "fun" as well during parts of that. Nice pass too. :-)

[saxmanchiro]

Oh shit. Look what you went and made me do to my nice rug next to my computer. Now I have to get the wetvac out and pick up this puke. It's going to leave a stain. Nice Subaru by the way.

[stevebritgimp]

Never knew that Darwin went to Tas - he left from our Devonport - did he call in at your Devonport?

[lyvvie]

How did you mount the camera? We'd love to do this through the Dandenongs! Scary stuff at the top with the fog/cloud. Love the car, we are Scooby fans, although we have a Mazda 6 MPS.

[askegg]

The video camera was mounted on a tripod in the rear of the car - kinda jammed in there. Press record and drive :)

If I do this again I will make sure I have the radio off and the GPS turned on.

[8journey8]

I found myself hanging onto my chair with a white-knuckled grip, leaning left and right into the turns, watching all 4 seasons pass by at breakneck speed, on the *wrong* side of the road! Whew! You Australians are such a daredevil bunch!! :O

[oriondos]

Askegg see if you can get some footage of Devils in the wild.

[askegg]

It's rather hard to see them in the wild as they are, strangely, quite timid creatures. I will take some better video of the city and its surroundings as you don't get to see much in a few photos and some speed up film.

[mattie690]

Is that "the Chipmunks" on the radio?? :)

[geffel]

There are wild wallabies in the UK too - they've escaped from zoos etc over the years. Apparently they do quite well.

Here in Southern California by my house we get hawks, rabbits, quails, coyotes, mountain lions, deer, and er...ants. WE're about five minutes from busy Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley.

[JesusSavesAtCitibank]

Beautiful area!

In visiting countries that drive on the left side of the road, I have just the worst time of it. I know others who adapt well, but I always have great difficulty in handling the difference. It's so terribly unnatural for me that I have to make a point of constantly keeping my mind focused on it alone, and so I become impervious to everything else. Heh, even watching this drive on the left made me a bit woozy. I curse whoever originally thought it a good idea!

[vardogr]

I'm so jealous. Thanks for sharing.

[Shaggy6386]

Thanks for the video, looks like a nice place to live.

[Widgetas]

Jesus man! Change out of 2nd gear!

[askegg]

Oh, I was certainly out of second gear.

[redFISTofEUROPE]

this driving on the left side is so odd

i didn't even know that the aussies do that aswell

i always thought thats a british thing

[JRBendixen]

I agree

[askegg]

Bah!  You're the odd ones ;)

[geffel]

also Japan and much of Africa and a few othe rcountries. I believe Samoa is in the process of switching over to the left.

[mar8les]

Samoa switched to the left about a month ago.

[hamiel85]

Meh... I want to visit Australia some day. :I

[nekedemus]

Someone have tampered with your Subaru.

Steering wheel is in the wrong side.

Weather is the same in DK. and we got mountings too.

Himmelbjerget (sky mountain) 147 meters high.

But no wallarbees :-(

[invisibletime]

cool vid thanks

[Leadman1989]

dude that was a roller coaster ride at some points it looks like your just spinning out

and half the time im thinking he's on the wrong side then remembering XD

[rednecktrucker1969]

OMGosh, you are on the wrong side of the road!!!! Don't they have speed limits there?!?!?

I think your stereo is messed up as well.

lol

[Rhysz1]

OMG You ran over a giant spider! Wait, those are just wipers..... My bad, love it ^^

Regards,

Rhysz

[neobluefox375]

Funny

[sjconrad]

Gone are the days of 8000 rpm 4th gear runs past the springs on the way down! Using the glowing brakes for illumination. ahhh, the memories.... Thanks bro.

[askegg]

I am just glad we all managed to live through those days.

[farvision]

I'm glad that those monster insect legs were not able to smash your windshield!

[oldblackfox24]

You live in very beautiful city Nice video.

[Nine89]

wow that looks great I hope you have a second video for this. Australia fascinates me with it's weather, it's habitat and it's environment. I wish I could go visit once.

[squirrly001]

This brought back childhood memories of sitting in the back of the car with my Dad driving and feeling car sick and he would tell me to open the window and take deep breaths.

That being said, it was nice to see your part of the world and the wallaby :)

[NigelHoneyPhotos]

You drive like me.

[askegg]

Except I have a newer Rex and my video is speed up.

[NigelHoneyPhotos]

Ill race ya

[woolsey2000]

felt like playing ninendos need for speed.....the windshield wipers made me lol.....thanks for sharing

[flyingfisbeefilms]

ARGH your driving on the left you mad Australian!

[askegg]

"You're going the wrong way! You're going to kill someone!"

"Ahh - he's drunk. How would he know where we're going?"

[Remagoen]

The best part of the best movie... Bwahahaha!

[askegg]

Great movie :)
