So here we are ladies and gents as promised I'd get back to the drone community and recently purchased a DJI Air 3S for my business. Coming from a Phantom 3 Pro. I can not explain in words the massive leap in not judt technology but functionality.

I've been using it primarily for marketing and promotion as well as for my partners local government updates on roads and hard to reach locations.

but ive brought it up with me to Port Douglas in Tropical Far North Queensland.

So come fly around as we show you pure Paradise.

I'll be taking it out over the river in the coming days to see if I can film a few Crocodiles on the banks.

let me know what you think in the comments section below.

# Go To The Gym It Saves Lives

Training has many benefits and I've been doing it for 3 decades now all naturally other than over the counter supplements. Which I have gone out and created my own range to ensure that I know what's in them.

Having kids requires you to be mentally and physically on at all times. Yesterday, while swimming in the river and having warned my kid 999999 times no to venture too far due to high current and dangerous rocks. She didn't listen as all kids don't.

I ran my butt to the rock pretty quickly as she got taken and stuck. Her confidence in me was another issue. As she went back upto the rock after taking her down and got sucked into the current.

It doesn't look like anything in this video as I pull her up but that current was strong, my quads were doing all the work to remain grounded. You can see it easily suck her in as I move in to grab her and with a single bicep curl pull her back in.

All relatively easy until you realise the other 3 people were somewhat stuck on the other rock due to the current.

All this and mum had nooooo idea and I was pretty frantic in that water as one wrong move and I'm toppling over and taken also.

Fortunately, nothing happened. My kid was fully aware of getting stuck in that current as she couldn't get out and she even said "phew lucky you were there dad".

Yeah, lucky dad spends most his life in the garage smashing weights. Otherwise, that would have been the last time either of us saw each other.

Be safe around the water and hit the gym. It saves lives

today we headed to Hartley's Crocodile Farm located just off the Captain Cook Highway in tropical North Queensland.

Hartley's celebrated their 90th birthday in 2024 and is a highly visited tourist destination in Queensland seeing over 400 people per day.

float along a swamp with your very own tour guide that's home to over 30 Salt water Crocodiles. The cafeteria also serves up dishes made from Crocodile meat which you can see little miss and I enjoyed. It tastes inbetween pork and chicken and is a white meat. not quite fishy at all.

Entry is $AUD45 for adults, $AUD22.50 for kids 14 and under and children under 4 get in for free.

getting there is easy there are many trandport options and tour guides but the best option for a family is to rent a car for $AUD90 a day includes insurance.

35 minutes drive from Port Douglas nestled away in a natural Australian tropical setting its a place time forgot.

there is also a Crocodile Attack Show which is pretty decent with lots of Q&A from the audience. a lot did ask about Bert which was apparently a Crocodile from the Crocodile Dundee film. I didn't realise that film was such a global iconic film.

Bert apparently died last year as the tour guide informed us, but he wasn't too happy that Kamakazee the star of the show with a pretty big fan base.

renting a car will give you access to more places and highly recommend. Other areas which we will be visiting is the Mossmon gorge a prestine river and waterway that has fish swimming alongside.

The wildlife sanctuary is also a great place to visit and you'll be able to see a Cassawary which was described today as an Emu dressed in drag. An interesting description of the bird. But it is a beautifully coloured bird with a hard helmet that it uses to defend itself and protect against falling coconuts.

Tropical North Queensland is a bucket list destination so stay tuned as we bring you more of the very best on offer.

let us know your thoughts in the comments section below, and if you've visited Port Douglas let us know your thoughts as well as all the awesome things you did while you were here and we might pop it on our to do list!

we often hear the saying that if you want to lose weight you can't drink alcohol. that isnt entirely true.

while alcoholic beverages like beer, wine and many of the sugar filled pre mixed drinks which are filled with sugar to mask the poor quality alcohol, is true.

the same can't be said about high quality spirits. for instance one of my favourite drinks is a Espresso martini which is espresso, khalua and vodka.

not much calories in that, you can also swap your cheaper scotch and coke for a sugar free coke or pepsi max. or simply drin a high quality scotch on the rocks.

remember, everything in moderation.

in life we are at times bogged down with the outcome or an end that we don't even start. just remember, you dont need to see the finish line to start.
