Living out of my car travelling around Australia 
"Living out of my car travelling around Australia" is ten days old and is still the video doing the most work on Michael Drake's channel. It is closing in on 800,000 views. The about text promises "stupid ideas," but this one is simple: one man, one car and a very large country.
The five new uploads follow that road. "The best swimming hole in Australia" went up on Saturday and has kept a quick pace since. A few days earlier came "This town got wiped off the map," the most watched new video of the week. In the comments, viewers name the place as Wittenoom in Western Australia. Some write about relatives who worked at the mine there and later became ill. Others say it is strange to see a town on satellite view that no longer exists. Plenty more are simply suggesting where he should drive next, from Gwalia to Rubyvale and Inglewood.
Overall, the channel ran close to its usual daily pace and added about 3,000 subscribers. Among the travel channels nearest his size, he gained the most views this week, a little over three million. Scarlet & Seth were the other busy name, while EarthCam and The $10 Travel Show ran quieter than usual.
