## Resource

Then Christie’s driving on the highway west of Dalby filming a truck video. Swerves to save a turtle. Reckons she saved it. The following semi-trailer disagrees. Geordie’s got the GoPro strapped to the truck wheel and gets the close-up. Just a pink mist. Then Broome to Darwin. Beautiful bridge, gorgeous shot, “let’s do one more,” drone straight into the tallest tree in the outback. Then the backup drone with a stick sticky-taped to it also gets stuck in the same tree. Four and a half hours from anywhere, sun going down, throwing rocks. Finds an arborist on Facebook at 10.30pm who drives four and a half hours out at 6am and climbs the tree in two minutes flat. Paid him in fishing rods. Need a video done? Find Creators of Awesome. ⚠️ Explicit content. 📞 Get involved🎤 Send a voice message to the boys.
