  1. 3:28 I'm not quite sure, but that looks suspiciously like the Cape Tribulation Road over one of the ranges. But I could be way off. Definitely the Dry season but looks like that road. I drove over it hundreds of times some 10 years ago. EDIT: Aaah, that's why it's familiar. I've driven that road a few times as well.

  2. 6:48 The Nibiru, Flat Earth, and alien invasion conspiracy theorists will LOVE that image.

  3. 10:25 I spent nearly 2 weeks isolated after a cyclone without power, phone, or access to anywhere. Our access road was impassable due to downed trees, and of course, the power lines were taken down by the trees. I feel for Kalgoorlie people, especially when you consider it is a city, not some backwoods road where I lived. And it's a result of poor power supply reliability, not a natural disaster.

  4. 13:00 I lived on the very Northern outskirts of Perth when I was a kid. Some years ago I used Google Earth to find my old home. Just by scrolling around, I couldn't find it. So I put my old address into the search thing on Google Maps. Holy shitballs Batman! My old home is basically part of Perth suburbia now. I did learn that the 4 bedroom, two bathroom, main bedroom ensuite walk-in -robe, lounge and family room, lowset home, and block of dirt that they paid 36000 for, are worth near on a million now. They sold the place four years after it was built for 120000, when we had to move back to Brisbane.

  5. 9:10 And to think, we are considered a 1st World country. Yet we can't provide power reliably to places that desperately need it to cool their homes. Not that it would worry me too much. I sit in my bus with only a fan when it's anywhere from 36C (96F) to 46C (114F) inside. Outside it might only be 29 - 31 but I'm a hermit agoraphobic, so it's easier to swelter than face outside and people. Oops, that went dark fast...
