shovel my arms aren't long enough oh [Music] dinner should be a couple of hours a couple hours an hour the way that fire's going what's your oven degrees i don't know cooked cooked or not cooked that's all there is all right so while we're waiting for dinner to cook i thought i'd ask elena a few questions lord i'm not prepared what do you like about outback queensland i love how you feel free

reverse [Music] dear god [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] back on the tar this is the start of our head north to uh the gulf country yeah gulf cafeteria [Music] another thing we do is collect the silo art ew so we pulled over for lunch and i just think it's worth mentioning eleni did very well driving she normally doesn't drive with the van on but i think it is a good idea for everyone in the car to drive with the van on don't you alanya just in case something happens to either of us we can both drive yes i'd love it if the passenger wasn't so picky though i was trying to get her to overtake a road train i wasn't comfortable just yet i'll do it next time i did well thank you what did we have to stop for big boy you want oreos well we're about five minutes off our destination but the kids are going crazy and wanting oreos they're killing me lara wetlands [Music] we're rolling on in a sign i think it's a sign it's a sign it's not an e-view it's not a catalyst it's just a sign yep just the same i told you there was evie's look at the evie [Music] oh they're running how's this for a spot it's beautiful look at this this is where we park we got that this is us for the next

swim in the outback it's been so cold but we're on our way north and it's getting warmer [Music] what are you doing buddy did you wear in the water yeah sure how's the walk back to the vehicle yeah good very scenic it is isn't it what's the plan today um not much now what are you doing a cooking segment aren't you i think so what are you doing i can't tell you yeah surprise well i guess hate the boys to get some firewood so it's probably a good idea to do it then when years aren't around good idea woohoo there is a million things i could probably do right now but you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna do an elenia's cooking segment just for you guys we have no service out here so i can't even google a basic scone recipe i don't really know but i remember my granny making scones but this is like four or five years ago if you guys know me i have the worst memory ever so going off my memory is not the best idea but it's gonna have to do so we're gonna try scones okay we're gonna use self-raising flour a cup some milk and full cream milk and i'm going to cook them on the fire that i've preferred prepared earlier self-raising flour things about right next is our butter you know how they have their they're like estimates on the side of the butter now i've got to work it out um anyway i reckon we're gonna be on there just gonna do that i remember doing this bit it's not slightly soft but we'll work with it put it in and then you've got to like like crumb it like to like a little crumb thing so with your fingers you sort of do that of course this is a disaster already so i'll do this and i'll show you guys while i'm doing this do you know what like i don't i feel like i've gone deaf normally i'm fighting the kids away because they're into it all i have nick and me chattering on age i can i it's really peaceful [Music] i don't know if i'm lonely i feel lonely now but i'm going to enjoy it because i know they'll be back in maybe half an hour okay so yeah sort of do this with the flour and the butter until it looks a bit like a crumble and then you add your bit of milk so i'll just put a bit in all right i think i nailed it and i'm gonna get me scone cutter which i'm gonna use my yeti cup flatten this bad boy out make some cuttings turn around i don't know if you saw that that'll just spill the milk anyway the milk is to put a bit on the top so i'm gonna put it in this and put it on the campfire see how it go because normally nick's there to help me with the camp oven but i don't need no man i can do it myself so let's try and get him out i think i did pretty well oh look at mum go you're back he's into a vinny we made you spawn did they turn out do you want to have a look there's just some under there don't bring him back and onto me cooking space melania lee well you gotta try it first kill him oh we gotta get some jam and cream yeah i know bit of butter did you jam finny get out of it get into those boys what do we reckon good that is a scone that's cream how did i go you did pretty well darl that surprises me you surprised me with this why because they actually are pretty good lennix ready to go bust and move at happy hour hey mom
