I am always dreaming and planning of unplugging from society and moving to the middle of nowhere… Especially outback Australia. This is why I didn’t need to do it and you don’t need to either… Or do you?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The urge to run away and move to the desert
hits me every year on January first.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
And this year I very nearly did it.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's long been a dream of mine to leave society,
go into the middle of nowhere, and die from eating
poison berries ever since I watched the film Into the
Wild about that guy who died in the caravan. Was
a chrismacandless. I want to say, never heard that last
(00:38):
night before, but I'm pretty sure it's Chris McCandless, that
guy who was like twenty two and decided that he
wanted to extract himself from society aka the Matrix, and
just go wherever the river took him. Basically, I was
absolutely obsessed with that movie when I first saw it,
(01:01):
like twenty years ago, and I still think about it,
you know, every moment of every day. No, I don't,
but I think about it every now and then, so
because I'm incapable of doing anything without a TV show
or a movie telling me to. It was another piece
of media that this year made me decide that this
was the year I was absolutely going to escape, run
(01:24):
away to the middle of nowhere. This time, it was
the ABC television series Total Control. Starring Deborah Mailman and
Rachel Griffiths. Have Griffiths, Sorry, Rachel, g I'm so terrible
with the actresses names and actors' names. So I started
(01:44):
watching this show first or second week of January. It
was really hot outside. I'd just gotten off a shift.
And this is important to realize. I had just finished
a shift at my waitressing job where I had had
to go home with heatstroke.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Bear that in mind.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
It was only a twenty six degree day, guys, and
I had to go home with heat stroke and it
took me like three days to recover. I was like
passing out, about to throw up. I was not, well,
that's a twenty sixty that's a twenty six degree day
in Victoria. So I was resting up at home and
I was watching some random show that I wasn't enjoying
(02:25):
on ABC. I can't even remember, but I didn't like it.
It was the whole reason I had the ABC app open.
But I was like, this show is shit, So I
exited out of it. I was about to close it,
and then, for the fiftieth time, I tried to get
me to watch Total Control and it always gets recommended
to me on my Apple TV because I only watched
TV shows with female main characters exclusively. So I was like, okay,
(02:51):
I'll finally give it a go. I probably won't be
that into it because I don't really like Australian shows
that much usually, but I'll give it a go anyway.
I was absolutely obseess from the first second. It starts
off really strong, like if you've seen it, you'll not
this show sucks you in immediately. It has a really
amazing opening I will I have to like give it
an A plus for the opening scene, and I was
(03:14):
immediately obsessed with the show. So in the show, Deborah
Mailman's character comes from an out back Queensland town called Winton,
so I was, of course like, I'll move there. Why not?
It looks amazing, looks like it's far away from everywhere.
Deborah Maylmon's character has to travel far and why to
get from her home in Winton to her post as
(03:37):
a senata in Canberra. I was like, okay, it looks
like it's really far away from society. I'll move there
tomorrow if I can plot twists coming. I am a
member of the Facebook group Australian Rural The Rural, The
Rural dura. Oh, let me try again Australian rural and
(03:58):
remote jobs. And the very next day, guys, it was
a manifestation mania. The very next day this job ad
came up. It's on the screen if you're watching on screen. Otherwise,
if you're potting out, i'll read it out. It was
for a cafe. I'll give them a shout out. They
look amazing. Corina's Cafe in bakery in Julia Creek. Looking
(04:21):
for casual cafe and bakery all rounders. It don't say casual.
But the reason I was excited about it was because
it was actually a full time position and had accommodation.
And guys, guess what, Julia Creek is only just down
the road from Winton. Yeah. I could not have time
(04:41):
to manifestation any better. Do you know how big Australia is?
Do you know how big the outback is, the desert is?
And yet I had found I hadn't even found it
to come to me the very next day ad job
right next to this Winton town that I've been the
Hollywood of the outboat according to ABC. The very next
(05:02):
day I found a job that was basically right next door.
So a few things so the ABC television show Total
Control does show Winton as a place that's in the
middle of a drought, has really high poverty, and is
really struggling to basically keep it to residents safe and alive.
(05:24):
And yeah, I don't know why, but I was definitely
that wasn't deterring me. All I was thinking was far
away from society, Far away from society, That's all I
was thinking. And so I was like, Julia, Creek isn't winter.
To be fair, it's maybe like half an hour forty
minutes away, but that's relatively close in the desert. But
(05:46):
I was still like, yeah, take me there. My dreams
have already come true. I'll be moving there. So I
applied for the job, and yeah, I already had a
job here and I've got family here, and I had
no real plans on how I would get there, but
I still applied, and of course they immediately and like
immediately emailed me back. So they immediately sent me an
(06:08):
email saying can you hop on a FaceTime right now?
And I was like just staring at the email, like,
oh my gosh, my eyes are bigger than my stomach.
When it comes to applying for jobs, I was really unsure.
I was like, oh, I wasn't expecting an immediate an
immediate reply for an interview, and so I stabbed at there,
and I still put it off for a half an hour.
(06:28):
I was like, do I do I actually really want
to move to the desert. I looked up how far
away this place was from my hometown and it was
like twenty six hours I think twenty eight hours drive.
You can't fly there. That bit o the story is
coming up. You can't fly there, you can only drive there.
(06:50):
And I was like, Okay, that is far away.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It's far.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It ticks all my boxes for where I want to
move the one box far. It ticks it. And so
I was like, well, it's got accommodation. It's a job
I can do. I'll be in the desert, I'll be
absolutely loving life. I'll be like that guy dying in
the caravan from eating poison berries. So I've picked myself,
(07:14):
so I replied. I was like, yeah, I can do
an interview. But then they I don't know if I
had some other people on the hook on the line,
but they actually took ages to get back to me,
and in that time I had a little bit of
time to think meanwhile. Of course, however, I was applying
to every single job that came up, but but I didn't.
I had, you know, the criteria, it has to be far.
(07:38):
So only a few places were really hitting that sweet
spot of being a far away but you could still
get there. I didn't want to go to an island
where you had to go in like a little mini
plane to get there. You have to be able to
get there, but it's still be far. So this was
this was basically ticking the only blocks I had. And
(07:58):
they replied the next morning saying, Crystal High, we'd love
to interview you today. And part of me, part of
me was like, are they you know, they're really that
desperate for stuff that they want someone from twenty six
hours away. So that made me, of course, second guests,
like would it be a good job? Even though I
was looking at the I was looking on its Facebook page. Guys,
this looks like an absolutely amazing cafe to work out
(08:22):
and to go to. That's why I am shouting it out.
But of course I had started to a second guest
whether I really wanted to live in the desert, and
yet I was looking at the drive there, I was
like this would be like the sickest drive. I would
just have the best time on this road trip, going
all the way up through ut Back, New South Wales
and Queensland. It would be just the road trip alone
(08:44):
would be great. And then I spoke about it with
my sister and because I was, you know, a little
bit worried that she was going to tell me I'm
not allowed to leave. And if my sister told me
I wasn't allowed to leave, I probably wouldn't. But she
was like, relative okay with her, She's like, if that's
really what you want to do, Like, I don't blame you.
If I could just move to the middle of nowhere,
(09:06):
I would as well. So I was like, okay, I've
got I've got a tick. I've got another tick tick
tick at the moment. And then, guys, I looked at
the weather for Julia Creek. It's on screen if you're
on YouTube, if you're on the pod. This was for
second week of January currently. It was at that time
(09:28):
I screen shot the current weather. It was that time
of day. I think it was like, what time of day,
it's just three o'clock on it. It was thirty five
degrees Okay, thirty five degrees. I think it was currently
like twenty two degrees where I was in Teetown, Julia
Creek thirty five degrees. Tomorrow thirty four degrees, Friday thirty
(09:52):
five degrees, a Saturday thirty six degrees, Sunday thirty six degrees,
Monday thirty five degrees. And the highs weren't even the
worst part. It was the lows, guys, the lows. The
lowest temperature is twenty five degrees. That's the middle of
the night, that's three am. The lowest temperature it gets
(10:14):
to is twenty five degrees. It's just always between twenty
five and twenty and thirty six degrees. And if guys,
if you know one thing about ice creams, they melt
in the heat. This doctor was not cut out for
those sort of extreme temperatures. So do if you might
(10:34):
remember three days before, I had had to go home
from work because it was twenty six degrees and I
got heatstroke. And yet here I was thinking I was
going to survive in a thirty five degree like a
minimum daily temperature in the middle of nowhere. I was humbled.
I was humbled real quick. I was just staring at
(10:56):
this going oh, I actually actually can't do it. I
was thinking about the reality of it, and yes, I
know you are acclimate. Is that the word acclimatized acclimate
to temperatures. But I was like, ice cream can never
survive that. I will melt away. I will be nothing.
And what was confusing me was I've been watching this
(11:20):
show and everyone in it was in like long sleeve
t in long sleeve shirts and jeans. And yes, I
know it's a TV show. I know the difference between
I don't know. It's gonna say I know the difference
between fiction and reality. To be fair, I don't, but
you know I did think, and yes it did show
that they were in a drought, but I was like,
I can't be that hot if people are just like
(11:42):
wearing normal clothes, Like it didn't look that hot on screen.
But and then I was also thinking, isn't the desert
like extremes it's like really hot or really cold. That's
what I was thinking. And I was like, oh, it'd
be okay because it might get really hot and then
it would just be really cold and it will I
felt equal out and I will survive. No, I was
(12:03):
not ever going to survive those temperatures, but it wasn't
just the weather to be fair, To be totally honest,
moving to the desert was only like what I thought. Well,
I thought it would be a QA for a bigger problem,
but obviously it wouldn't have been. I still think, I thought,
(12:28):
and I still think, you know, that running away, moving
to the desert, moving to the middle of nowhere will
somehow solve all my problems. It will allow me to
under plug from the matrix. I'll be on my own.
Weather river takes me into the wild, and the only
thing I'll have is my own very very bad survival skills.
(12:49):
And if I die, I die at least I'll go
out doing what I love, which is being absolutely spontaneous
and having no plan. And you know, I really think
that that could be the cure for a lot of
my problems in life, because, as I always see it,
my biggest problem in life is the matrix and being
(13:12):
plugged into the collective consciousness simulation. And so part of me, really,
really deep down does believe that the answer is to
just unplug and go off. And a big part of
me does also believe that ultimately my destiny will be
to do that. So I know the name of this
video and podcast is you don't need to move to
(13:32):
the desert, And at the moment, I don't and you don't.
None of us need to move to the desert to
be able to find ourselves. I told my bestie about
my plan at the time a few weeks ago. I
recapped her on everything that had happened, and she said,
do you really need to leave to have an adventure?
(13:54):
It sounds like what you're really after is a spiritual adventure,
and I was like, sure, that could be right. I
do feel like I need the actual physical adventure, but yeah,
you might be right. Maybe it's a spiritual journey I need.
I think they go hand in hand. But you know
you're right wherever you go, wherever you go, you'll take
the weather with you, the very very very hot weather.
(14:17):
I would like to stay here in the cooler weather
to be fair, but yeah, wherever you go, you will
take your problems with you. But deep down I do
believe that a trip and eventually this is in my future,
Like I just know that deep down it's sort of
for me though a matter of time, and it's not
the time yet. Very it's a very wise lady it's
(14:38):
literally a lady I just met. But she said to
me last year and when I was telling her about
my drive to do this, she said, when it is
your time, you'll just know it, she said, you there
won't be any other questions about it. And I actually
think she might be right, because I don't feel like
it is my time yet. Yes. I manifested this very
(15:00):
quickly a few weeks ago, but it didn't feel right.
I was like, oh. As soon as I got that
email back, I was like, oh, I don't know if
I want this. And then I saw the weather, and
then I looked. I looked up the travel distance because
my sister had said to me, where's the nearest airport
to come visit you? And I said, there isn't one.
(15:21):
There's no airport. You got to drive for twenty eight
hours through the out back. And she didn't really reply,
which is fair enough. And there were a few things
like that that had the resistance from me and from others.
It didn't completely flow. She eventually emailed me back five
days later, again asking me if I wanted to have
(15:43):
an interview. So I'm guessing that other people fell through
and I just didn't even reply to that sorry. I
was a bit of a ghost. I didn't reply, and
then I got an email a week later saying the
position had been filled. I was like, great, I'm not
moving to the thirty five degree? Does that not right now?
It's not my time yet. It might be, it will
be in the future. It's not my time yet. I've
(16:05):
got other adventures to have right here. And yeah, to
be real, you don't need to move to the desert.
No one does, unless I mean maybe you do need
to for work. I don't know what your position is.
But running away, going into the wild, unplugging. Do we
(16:30):
need to or do we not need to? Is the
answer a more spiritual inquiry or journey? Or do I
actually need to move to the desert? Still just not yet?
Stay tuned, because you know I've still got you. Don't
think in my heart to do. It hasn't completely gone away,
And yet I do know that I would be okay
(16:51):
if I just stayed here and.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
When I'm in a journey.

so I was, of course like, I'll move there. Why not?
It looks amazing, looks like it's far away from everywhere.
Deborah Maylmon's character has to travel far and why to
get from her home in Winton to her post as

Do you know how big the outback is, the desert is?
And yet I had found I hadn't even found it
to come to me the very next day ad job
right next to this Winton town that I've been the
Hollywood of the outboat according to ABC. The very next
(05:02):
day I found a job that was basically right next door.
So a few things so the ABC television show Total

really struggling to basically keep it to residents safe and alive.
(05:24):
And yeah, I don't know why, but I was definitely
that wasn't deterring me. All I was thinking was far

was thinking. And so I was like, Julia, Creek isn't winter.
To be fair, it's maybe like half an hour forty
minutes away, but that's relatively close in the desert. But
(05:46):
I was still like, yeah, take me there. My dreams
have already come true. I'll be moving there. So I
applied for the job, and yeah, I already had a
job here and I've got family here, and I had
no real plans on how I would get there, but
I still applied, and of course they immediately and like

You can't fly there. That bit o the story is

(06:50):
And I was like, Okay, that is far away.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It's far.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It ticks all my boxes for where I want to
move the one box far. It ticks it. And so
I was like, well, it's got accommodation. It's a job
I can do. I'll be in the desert, I'll be
absolutely loving life. I'll be like that guy dying in
the caravan from eating poison berries. So I've picked myself,
(07:14):
so I replied. I was like, yeah, I can do
an interview. But then they I don't know if I

they replied the next morning saying, Crystal High, we'd love
to interview you today. And part of me, part of
me was like, are they you know, they're really that
desperate for stuff that they want someone from twenty six
hours away. So that made me, of course, second guests,
like would it be a good job? Even though I
was looking at the I was looking on its Facebook page. Guys,
this looks like an absolutely amazing cafe to work out
(08:22):
and to go to. That's why I am shouting it out.
But of course I had started to a second guest
whether I really wanted to live in the desert, and
yet I was looking at the drive there, I was
like this would be like the sickest drive. I would
just have the best time on this road trip, going
all the way up through ut Back, New South Wales
and Queensland. It would be just the road trip alone
(08:44):
would be great. And then I spoke about it with
my sister and because I was, you know, a little
bit worried that she was going to tell me I'm
not allowed to leave. And if my sister told me
I wasn't allowed to leave, I probably wouldn't. But she
was like, relative okay with her, She's like, if that's

If I could just move to the middle of nowhere,
(09:06):
I would as well. So I was like, okay, I've
got I've got a tick. I've got another tick tick
tick at the moment. And then, guys, I looked at
the weather for Julia Creek. It's on screen if you're
on YouTube, if you're on the pod. This was for
second week of January currently. It was at that time
(09:28):
I screen shot the current weather. It was that time
of day. I think it was like, what time of day,
it's just three o'clock on it. It was thirty five
degrees Okay, thirty five degrees. I think it was currently
like twenty two degrees where I was in Teetown, Julia
Creek thirty five degrees. Tomorrow thirty four degrees, Friday thirty
(09:52):
five degrees, a Saturday thirty six degrees, Sunday thirty six degrees,
Monday thirty five degrees. And the highs weren't even the
worst part. It was the lows, guys, the lows. The
lowest temperature is twenty five degrees. That's the middle of
the night, that's three am. The lowest temperature it gets
(10:14):
to is twenty five degrees. It's just always between twenty
five and twenty and thirty six degrees. And if guys,
if you know one thing about ice creams, they melt
in the heat. This doctor was not cut out for
those sort of extreme temperatures. So do if you might
(10:34):
remember three days before, I had had to go home
from work because it was twenty six degrees and I
got heatstroke. And yet here I was thinking I was
going to survive in a thirty five degree like a
minimum daily temperature in the middle of nowhere. I was humbled.
I was humbled real quick. I was just staring at
(10:56):
this going oh, I actually actually can't do it. I
was thinking about the reality of it, and yes, I
know you are acclimate. Is that the word acclimatized acclimate
to temperatures. But I was like, ice cream can never
survive that. I will melt away. I will be nothing.
And what was confusing me was I've been watching this
(11:20):
show and everyone in it was in like long sleeve
t in long sleeve shirts and jeans. And yes, I
know it's a TV show. I know the difference between
I don't know. It's gonna say I know the difference
between fiction and reality. To be fair, I don't, but
you know I did think, and yes it did show
that they were in a drought, but I was like,
I can't be that hot if people are just like
(11:42):
wearing normal clothes, Like it didn't look that hot on screen.
But and then I was also thinking, isn't the desert
like extremes it's like really hot or really cold. That's
what I was thinking. And I was like, oh, it'd
be okay because it might get really hot and then
it would just be really cold and it will I
felt equal out and I will survive. No, I was
(12:03):
not ever going to survive those temperatures, but it wasn't
just the weather to be fair, To be totally honest,
moving to the desert was only like what I thought. Well,
I thought it would be a QA for a bigger problem,
but obviously it wouldn't have been. I still think, I thought,
(12:28):
and I still think, you know, that running away, moving
to the desert, moving to the middle of nowhere will
somehow solve all my problems. It will allow me to
under plug from the matrix. I'll be on my own.
Weather river takes me into the wild, and the only
thing I'll have is my own very very bad survival skills.
(12:49):
And if I die, I die at least I'll go
out doing what I love, which is being absolutely spontaneous
and having no plan. And you know, I really think
that that could be the cure for a lot of
my problems in life, because, as I always see it,
my biggest problem in life is the matrix and being
(13:12):
plugged into the collective consciousness simulation. And so part of me, really,
really deep down does believe that the answer is to
just unplug and go off. And a big part of
me does also believe that ultimately my destiny will be
to do that. So I know the name of this
video and podcast is you don't need to move to
(13:32):
the desert, And at the moment, I don't and you don't.
None of us need to move to the desert to
be able to find ourselves. I told my bestie about
my plan at the time a few weeks ago. I
recapped her on everything that had happened, and she said,
do you really need to leave to have an adventure?
(13:54):
It sounds like what you're really after is a spiritual adventure,
and I was like, sure, that could be right. I
do feel like I need the actual physical adventure, but yeah,
you might be right. Maybe it's a spiritual journey I need.
I think they go hand in hand. But you know
you're right wherever you go, wherever you go, you'll take
the weather with you, the very very very hot weather.
(14:17):
I would like to stay here in the cooler weather
to be fair, but yeah, wherever you go, you will
take your problems with you. But deep down I do
believe that a trip and eventually this is in my future,
Like I just know that deep down it's sort of
for me though a matter of time, and it's not
the time yet. Very it's a very wise lady it's
(14:38):
literally a lady I just met. But she said to
me last year and when I was telling her about
my drive to do this, she said, when it is
your time, you'll just know it, she said, you there
won't be any other questions about it. And I actually
think she might be right, because I don't feel like
it is my time yet. Yes. I manifested this very
(15:00):
quickly a few weeks ago, but it didn't feel right.
I was like, oh. As soon as I got that
email back, I was like, oh, I don't know if
I want this. And then I saw the weather, and
then I looked. I looked up the travel distance because
my sister had said to me, where's the nearest airport
to come visit you? And I said, there isn't one.
(15:21):
There's no airport. You got to drive for twenty eight
hours through the out back. And she didn't really reply,
which is fair enough. And there were a few things
like that that had the resistance from me and from others.
It didn't completely flow. She eventually emailed me back five
days later, again asking me if I wanted to have
(15:43):
an interview. So I'm guessing that other people fell through
and I just didn't even reply to that sorry. I
was a bit of a ghost. I didn't reply, and
then I got an email a week later saying the
position had been filled. I was like, great, I'm not
moving to the thirty five degree? Does that not right now?
It's not my time yet. It might be, it will
be in the future. It's not my time yet. I've
(16:05):
got other adventures to have right here. And yeah, to
be real, you don't need to move to the desert.
No one does, unless I mean maybe you do need
to for work. I don't know what your position is.
But running away, going into the wild, unplugging. Do we
(16:30):
need to or do we not need to? Is the
answer a more spiritual inquiry or journey? Or do I
actually need to move to the desert? Still just not yet?
Stay tuned, because you know I've still got you. Don't
think in my heart to do. It hasn't completely gone away,
And yet I do know that I would be okay
(16:51):
if I just stayed here and.
