Financial Freedom by Forty
New Zealand
Приєднався 11 лют 2024
We're a Kiwi family working towards a goal of financial freedom. We are sharing our journey from zero to a multi-million property portfolio and onwards towards financial freedom.
In 2024 and 2025 we’re taking a year off to travel Australia full time in a Jayco All-Terrain caravan. By the time our year of travel is up we will have travelled around 45,000kms and have visited all states except Tasmania on a “big lap” of Aus!

Crossing the Nullarbor: One of Australia's EPIC road journeys - 3 days & over 1400 km (Episode 24)
In this week's episode we take on one of Australia's most EPIC road journeys: the crossing of the Nullarbor.
The Nullarbor is not a journey to be taken lightly, and many a car has not made it the whole way (as you will see in this video). There are many hundreds of kilometres without any towns and not much other than a few fuel stops and some overnight rest areas.
Nevertheless, there are still some interesting and quirky sights to be see along the way. We got to see:
- the stunning pink lake, Lake MacDonnell
- an old abandoned roadhouse and car cemetery at Koonalda
- a blowhole
- wild dingoes
- the amazing Bunda Cliffs
- cool and creepy caves at Madura
- and even some space junk from the 70s!
Don't let anyone tell you a Nullarbor crossing has to be boring! It's a long road, but a journey we'll never forget!

Eyre Peninsula, South Australia: the prettiest beaches, and one of the scariest roads (Episode 23)
Переглядів 598День тому
In this week's episode we travel around the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. Eyre Peninsula is one of those places that you see on Instagram and wonder if the photos are really real. We had some great days on Eyre Peninsula, but not everywhere lived up to the hype (mostly because it was really windy when we were there). We did have some amazing days at some really stunning beaches, including ...

The Murray River is an inland fishing hot spot, and a really interesting part of Australia to explore.

We were told by the locals that the Sapphire Coast was a beautiful spot to spend some time while in New South Wales and this part of Australia did not disappoint. There are so many beautiful beach towns along this part of the coast that it is hard to decide where to visit.

Hi Team, this is something we would love to do in the future, love the idea of travelling around Aussie in a caravan with the kids 😊
It’s been an amazing experience so far for us, and we’re really only just getting started. All of our doubts about doing it have slipped away since we hit the road so if you want to do it make it happen! Feel free to DM us on socials if you want to chat about it! ☺️
You've seen more of Oz than we have guys. Cheers, Al & Lynn ,Congrats.
Thanks Al and Lynn! Looking forward to seeing you when we make it around your side of the country!! ☺️
Very helpful. We are planning a lap when we retire in Dec 2025, and this is excellent thank you. Subscribed 👍
@@thestewartstwoaussiepisspo7168 you’re very welcome! All the best with your planning. We’re two months in now and it’s - fantastic experience so far, with so much more to come! ☺️
Cashflow is king! I’d like to know your cashflow strategy! Cheers the bells 🔔
Yes
Super helpful video!!! would love a copy of this spreadsheet if you're willing to share!
Yes, absolutely! Give me a few days and I’ll load it to our website. Or feel free to flick us a DM on socials and I can hopefully attach it there! 😊
Well done boys, you’ve done lots of walking. What an amazing area. Sure you had fun. ❤
Which Aussie beach? There are several that make the claim.
This is Hyam’s Beach in NSW.
@@financialfreedombyforty Was my first guess but couldn't see enough of Jervis Bay to be certain.
😂Lucky you an engineer and fix these things ❤
Awesome beaches. Looks like lots of fun. 🙌🥰

Hi Kellie, can you recommend / list Airbnb property managers in North Auckland?
@@stephanieannamoran thanks for reaching out! I’d be hesitant to recommend anyone at this stage since we are only just getting started. We are working with Tui Air BnB Management, and so far they seem to be good so far but it’s still early days for us. There are a few others that had good google reviews but some don’t service our area. I’m happy to come back and do an update in a few months once we have a bit more experience! 😊
@@financialfreedombyforty Thank you 🙏
