Hi, David appears to be able to watch this with no audio problems (no stuttering) and I'm not having any real trouble. Of course it takes a while to buffer... but they are pretty huge files!
I think David and I pretty much have the same kind of broadband. Not the super duper fast one that you are lucky enough to have!
Yeah, I guess it depends on internet speeds.
Oh well....my parents will just have to believe me that this camera is capable of some pretty amazing stuff! :)

Hey thanks! :)
Btw....what IS your real name? lol!
I'm very pleased that you like what I have done so far. Well, WE....my husband Richard helped with filming some of this too.

I'm really hoping that we will be ready, filming wise, by the time we head off on our big trip at the end of July to the "outback".
There are some AMAZING places out there and I really want to be 100% confident with the camera.
Don't want to mess up any shots because it's a bloody long way to go back! :)

I want to be able to share my passion for this country....especially the centre of Australia, which is so uniquely beautiful and......well, it's just not like anything else I have ever experienced.
Uluru (Ayers rock) is just the most magical, spiritual place....you can almost FEEL some kind of strange energy out there in the earth.
There have been times I have felt as though I am being "watched" out there in the desert. Not a scary feeling...just like somehow you are being observed, and yet there is not a soul for miles.
I'm not sure that filming it will even be able to capture THAT essence of it....but I will try!

Thanks also for the comments on my music.
I'm glad you have enjoyed some of my creations. :)

I gather from reading in your profile that music also is one of your passions.
So you are a sound engineer?
I wish you were in Perth! :) And yes, Perth is currently where we are living but we are only here for a few years.
Originally we came from Newcastle/Sydney.
We're here with the aim of exploring THIS side of Australia ....although having said that it's kind of strange that Australia's red centre is luring us back once again!

Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Thanks Monso. I just watched one of your video's and I feel like such an amatuer in comparison.
Your work is wonderful! :)

Hi Arnold.
Thanks for watching!
Not CAPE York though :) only a town called York, which is about an hours drive from where we now live here in WA.
We stayed in a caravan park there and behind it was a racecourse. Someone dared my kids to run around it....so of course they DID. Ran right through the sprinklers too (as children do) and soaked the ONLY shoes they had.

I loved those pinky purple flowers and have since seen them sprouting everywhere in my neighbourhood.
Lovely!

Oh and fording the river?
Well.....the children ran ahead of us and of course impulsively jumped across the river.........and wet their shoes all over again!
(As children do!)

Next time I will remember to take extra sets of sneakers.
The drive home was unpleasant with stinky wet shoe smell wafting from the back of the car.
But still....I'd rather that than have them get square eyes from watching too many darn SCREENS.
It's good to get kids away from computers and TV's and out in the great outdoors we have here in Australia.

Thanks!
