NORTHERN TERRITORY!!! The Queensland part of the Outback has been conquered.
In total I've been in Queensland for EXACTLY FIVE MONTHS, which more than I ever thought I'd spend in one country on this trip, let alone one Australian state.
However, when I consider that six weeks of that was spent having an amazing time with relatives in Brisbane and two weeks was spent in Townsville/Magnetic Island waiting for the flooding to recede, I think i've made decent progress.
Sure I've had my blips where motivation has gone out the window, but overall I'm proud of the progress I've made and the content has been rolling relatively consistently too.
I say "relatively consistently" because even though I have made quite a few videos during my time in Queensland (which is a darn sight better than skipping a couple weeks of content entirely like what happened between Sydney and Brisbane) much of it has been posted weeks after it actually happened.
Like right now, I'm more than two weeks behind on content and so I've got some major catching up to do.
The Outback has given me a taste of what it's going to be like in future countries on this trip when power and internet will be more scarce though, so I definitely need to get more efficient with editing and post-production as time goes on.
That being said, I haven't been shooting daily videos in the Northern Territory so far. Instead I've been shooting for my first YouTube video since leaving Melbourne and occasionally filming very specific moments which will be easier to turn into reels. That's the hope anyway.
It's possible that the time I save in not doing daily reels will be lost when trying to make one YouTube video covering several weeks of riding. But hey ho.
Either way, lots of content to look forward to but that's why Day 71 is such a short video โ the rest of the day was shot in landscape ๐
