Photo by @jodymacdonaldphoto // Waterworld. A floating village of the Bajau sea gypsies in Borneo. These nomadic people have been navigating the waters of the Sulu Archipelago and south into the Celebes sea since before the 16th century. Cultural assimilation, modernization and pressures on ocean resources are making it increasingly difficult to maintain their independence and nomadic way of life. @natgeocreative @repostlyapp #thelapstv #slowtheflow #natgeo #climatechange #ocean #travel #environment

Too impressive not to post! Beauty among the clouds. Photo @ladzinski / Walking on the clouds high above the city of #rio, @caioafeto2 #highlining at the iconic #agavestone. "These incredible clouds over took us within minutes after taking this photo, engulfing us in a soaking wet fog. The descent off of the mountain was interesting to say the least but worth it to have witnessed this beautiful moment." @repostlyapp #Adventure #nature #outdoor (at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

Our audio engineer @jimma_greer making his way from the headphones to the hosting deck on The Project last night. He has that very special role of listening in 24/7 on @dustohollick and @rhianjames on each LAP...we might even get him to cut a pod cast of verbal out takes on The Lap of Tassie if you guys want! #thelapstv #slowtheflow #audioguru #jimmagreer (at Melbourne, Australia)

So the guys come back from their first surf in Peru filming @doublebarrelfilm and can't believe how epic the painted on Cacti are on the wall behind them. They look so real, like we're talking mind illusion real. Upon closer inspection...they were real 😂🌵🌵🌵 Vimeo.com/ondemand/doublebarrelfilm We'd love you to check out the movie; $4.99 from every BUY on Vimeo goes to our good friends in Lobitos who are appealing to have their local marine area protected by national law 🙌🏼 #thelapstv #slowtheflow #doublebarrelfilm #peru #lobitos #travel #ocean #adventure #surf #sustainability (at Peru)

Once upon a time three amigos @dustohollick @rhianjames @angelahelendavis flew to Peru. The result is @doublebarrelfilm and it went live for AU/NZ release online today. What's even cooler is when you hit BUY on Vimeo, you're putting dollars right into protecting the very coastline in this pic, in a little oil-dominated village called Lobitos. Dustin gets some insane barrels, Rhian plants trees, and Angie spies some amazingly tough women in the Andes.

So a pretty wow morning whale watching this morning. I was going to do a live feed but monitoring a 4yo and old dog around cliffs was double tasking enough. Subject of the live feed was going to be humans and our curiosity toward animals, in this instance, whales. But for conversation's sake, let's throw in dolphins and sharks, all of which Hunter and I laid eyes on in our hour of cliff hopping this morning. So we'd been watching at least two mammoth whales and another baby, blissfully cruising, quite close to the cliffs, always an epic sight. 30minutes easy of non-stop action, and then a little tinnie boat filled with humans putters out right into the middle of the whale family. For the next 20 minutes and up until the boat finally goes away, the whales do not surface again. What are your thoughts? Should humans be deliberating boating so close to whales, dolphins, and what about shark tagging? Has the human desire to intellectualize everything caused us to forget how to simply be at ONE with nature, to simply observe? - Angie (at Lennox Head)

Time to brave the elements and sneak a midnight peek out of your tent while camping in Tassie’s World Heritage wilderness… Pretty impressive, huh? This otherworldly shot from @dsallai was recently taken on the Ducane Range, deep within the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. The distinctive silhouette is of Mount Geryon – the twelfth highest mountain in Tasmania and one of numerous impressive peaks in the immediate vicinity. #thelapstv #slowtheflow #tasmania #travel #adventure #outdoor #nature #destinationsofthelaps #dotl

A little moment from our snapchat challenge in #byronbay today where Dustin sought out the best advice on how to barter for food and drink. Aaron from @balconybyronbay thought hugs were the best way to get free stuff, he didn't win our challenge but the advice was gold. Check out our snapchat feed @thelapstv for all the contenders, then switch to our Favebook page for the LIVE feed with our winner @glen_casey who scored a free coffee from @sparrowcoffeeco for his incredible bartering advice, and then chose to pay-it-forward by giving his prize away to a thirsty human. Thankyou #humansofthelaps we salute you! #thelapstv #slowtheflow (at Byron Bay, New South Wales)
