Wow, that sounds exciting. Simon used to drive and love motorbikes. I am not really a fan, I prefer 4 wheels over 2, and rather jump on a horse then a motorbike. I totally get it, feeling to be much more connected to the environment when not having a chassis around you. For the sleeping arrangements: good on you. :D And wow. Again, my favourite comfort is having a comfortable bed and a toilet with me. Please don't judge :D In saying that, we also loved tent camping. Are you going to share some of your rides on UA-cam? We sometimes watch UA-cam channels from bikers travelling around and through Australia. It's amazing, what you see what others don't see, including us. The roughness is addictive. Thanks for commenting and following us (Y)

We are working on it. We just got an external mic set a short while after. Hopefully it's better now. The problem also is that the audio sounds different in the pc software then in the exported UA-cam clip, for an unknown reason. The never ending learning curve 😉

Und neue Schilder fuer die neuen 'Sehenswuerdigkeiten' neben dem Park mit den öffentlichen Toiletten und (neuen) Duschen am Parkplatz fuer die Reisenden und die Truckies.

It's designed to be fitted that way. They are made on order, for the specific caravan and car model you tell them (they have all the details). If you move the fitting closer to the car, it's hanging too low and will touch the grounds eventually. Have you ever seen stone stompers flapping crazy because they hang too lose? :)

Not really what I was asking. I’m just about to fit mine and your wife (?) said you were going to cut the front mud flaps on the van. I assumed you were going to attach it in front of the front mud flaps?

We thought about cutting them, but ... we yet didn't cut the front mud flaps. After all we decided to keep them where they are, as they protect the connections behind the way they are, even if we would ever tow the caravan without the stone stomper (you never know). So we left everything outside the way it was at delivery, except for the Stone Stomper. We know that a lot of people modify their Zone caravans even further, but to be honest, we think they are absolutely fine the way they are built and delivered. A lot of thoughts and engineering went into building those caravans, so why change a (for us and our needs) perfect product? ;-)

Thank you for your kind words. The issue with the music underlay, I hope and guess, I improved the editing. After I noticed the mix sounds different (and better) on the laptop, then later on UA-cam, I started tuning the music down :D Hopefully you find the more recent videos have better audio. If you have any question don't hesitate to send us a message via our Facebook or Instagram, so we can talk and give recommendations. :) The best is to ask Zone RV for a list of services in your area, closest to you. Coolum RV is very popular, we ourselves went to another place. Next time we are in the area we would probably try to book in with Coolum RV. ;)

We got used to the smell, since we learnt where it comes from 😂. But we found that the water quality improved over the years. Many years ago at our first visit to Winton it was just as bad. Last year and this year: all good, great drinking water with no smell.

Makes sense somehow. But then ... don't start thinking about the water eaters like the Mining companies. Another topic please ...;-)

At the Yowah museum they have a few laying around that they haven't cracked yet. They can be quite big! Was very interesting. We couldn't film it all, as we didn't want to show the inside with all the beautiful stones. The owners told us stories from attempts of robbery (unsuccessful but still frightening), so we decided not to publish anything of that in the video, for their safety.

Let the chase begin. Once you started it you will always look around for pubs in your area that might be in the book. Being Toompine, not sure where you're heading, but there is a pub in Noccundra (we ticked that, upcoming), another one is Eromanga, and some more in that further west QLD area. Too wet? Wow. We breath dust here up in the NT. So much so that it wont take long for Simon to probably jump onto the water truck to help the station owner watering the roads ;-)

@@asnomads We are hoping to pick one up tomorrow and then we are headed to Eromanga and can tick off the first one.

Don't miss the happy hour history lesson from Greg at the free camp, happens in the late afternoon every day (as far as I am aware)! He's a legend :D Also grab your camera with the long lens. There are some falcons nesting in the tower on the nearby paddock, and cute Major Mitchell cockatoos just near camp.

@@asnomads Looking forward to it 😊

🤣 the things you carry have to have multiple uses. The cover goes on to not scratch other things (and fingers), rather than protecting the blade. 😂. I guess, he knows more about his tools than me anyway. :D (PS the rocks are covered in soft sandstone more than hard stuff).

Ja, nun ... das sind doch die Queenslander Sicherheitsschuhe, haben wir gelernt.

By the non existing speed we travel, you might be able to catch up with us ;-) Our videos are about 4-5 weeks behind our actual location at the moment.

@@asnomads HAha 😊 We are not heading to NT until later next year, so not yet.

Thank you guys. We just watched your latest vlog, congrats to your Peregrine baby. This is so exiting. Cunnamulla is nice. Try to avoid Charlotte Plains if there is rain on the horizon. (speaking from experience ... hahaha).

@@asnomads Thanks for the tip. Charlotte Plains is on our agenda for next fortnight, but we will watch the rain and decide. Cheers

Thank you so much ♥

Und nun weiss die ganze Welt, wer du bist 🤣😘. Ja, ist definitiv ein Familiending 😅😇

Ja, wir waren inzwischen auch in Yowah. Und haben Unmengen von aufgeschlagenen Nuessen gefunden, aber leider keine mit Inhalt. In dem kleinen Museum, das in Yowah ist, erzaehlte uns die Inhaberin, dass man viele hundert Nussschalen aufschlagen muss, um mal eine mit 'Nuss' drin zu finden. Wir hatten und haben leider nicht mehrere Jahre Zeit fuer die Suche :D. Danke fuer den Link, ich schau da direkt mal rein.

Into the bin 🤣. I only use it to mix the potatoes with the herbs, spices and oil. Once mixed, the potatoes go into the airfryer - out of the freezer bag.

Dankeschön 😊🥰. Naja, es war noch keine wirklichr Touristensaison, als wir da waren. Die meisten Touris fahren im Winter ins Outback. Ja, die Stahlschafe. Toll gemacht, oder? Leider ist die Schafhaltung in dieser Region extrem zurueckgegangen. Nein, Krokodile gibts in dieser Gegend nicht, die sind erst weiter noerdlich zu finden. Ich denke, fuer die Crocs ist der Wasserspiegel uebers Jahr nicht zuverlaessig genug.

Thank you, guys. We can read your excitement through your post about your new caravan. :D Gregory Downs is on our list, and guess what? That's because we watched your videos and loved all those remote camps you have stayed at. ♥ So yes, this and Lawn Hill is on the list, but we HAVE to go to the Leichhardt Falls as well. See you on the road soon :D

Thanks so much! 😊

Hi Judy, thank you for your kind words. I make those covers (and sell them within Australia to fellow travellers). I call them sock savers, they protect my shoes and socks from stones and prickles, when hiking. They are not really snake gaiters as such (those are more sturdy and protective) but I guess they will keep snakes off, better than not wearing any at all. The bucket hat is pretty handy as it can be washed easily. :) Cheers Ann

🤣🤣🤣 Ja, je ueberschaubarer, desto besser :D

It's not more expensive than in other outback towns. The fuel prices are the ones you should look up before heading off. There is a good app for it, where you can compare prices. It's called FuelMap

@@asnomads Thanks :-)

🤣🤣🤣 🌱🌿🔥

Wenn man mental irgendwo noch in den 30ern festhaengt, waehrend man stramm auf die 60er zusteuert 🤣 Aber wir sind vorsichtig(er) geworden. ♥

How's the countdown going? Are you getting excited to take off soon again? Hope to see you on the road. Cheers for chcking in 🤗

@@asnomads We are at the 6 week mark, handover on 17 July for he new van. Really looking forward to it, only a short trip though (6 weeks) as we are returning home to pack the house and rent it. Then the lap count down begins.

Super exciting 🤗

Thank you Scott. We believe the vandalism has been done a while ago, it didn't look new. We even saw some on other rock art places, where people put the year in as well. Some are about 100 years old, so this isn't a 'new' thing.

Always depends on the water quality. Don't take any chances if you are far away from anything. Better to be safe then sorry.

As much as the caravan mirrors are a pain, the beauty of the car mirrors is that they fold in as soon as the car gets locked - and the caravan mirrors are not in the way. That is the reason we did not change to the Clearview. Not sure if there are better versions of those after market mirrors available now, but there are a few more reasons why we don't change the original mirrors. We don't like the 'elephant ears'. 🤗

Imagine that beast being a living creature 😱 Thanks guys. See you on the road soon :D

Simon is still busy talking about the fishing adventure with you guys. He can't stop 🤗. We had the greatest time there, thanks for including us in your daily fishing routine. ♥ Safe travels and please stay in touch.

We love the small towns and Croydon is definitely worth a stop! We will be back in the near future, I can see this on the horizon :D Thank you for your towns great hospitality and all those things they offer to the travellers.

Ja, wir sind auch brav auf der anderen Strassenseite geblieben und haben Abstand gehalten. In dieser Gegend dort stehen ueberall Warnschilder und die Einheimischen kennen ihre gefiederten Freunde. Friedliche Ko-Existenz. Gefaehrlich wirds nachts, aber das gilt ja generell beim Autofahren in Australien.

Oh, danke ♥

Absolutely. We travelled thousands of kilometres in the last more than 15 years and we still can't get enough of it. The outback is unbelievable, the beauty often breath taking. And we feel we haven't even scratched the surface of what is about to come and see. ♥ Thank you ♥

@@asnomads Profound isn't it... I have a deep passion for the Coast because that is where I grew up, but I moved away 46 years ago and sadly now the Coast of my youth is no longer the same. Where I moved to is considered Semi-arid and would be nothing without the irrigation scheme...on my darkest days I refer to it as the Desert. So on the rare occasion we travel the Outback I become board very quickly. On the other foot I watch Bikepacking videos from Europe and am always enchanted by the scenery...where as you would probably watch one of those videos and think ho hum!! Blessings to you both🙏

Europe is beautiful. We travelled a lot in our own childhood and with our children. It is so totally different to Australia in many places. But the Great Dividing Range , the further south it is, very much like a 'home in Europe' feeling. No wonder, it is full of those European settlers there, especially from Germany and surrounds. It must remind(ed) them of home.

Hi, thank you. Dudley's bed is just at the end of our bed, on the floor. He has memory foam dog mattress from Kmart, with an additional cover for easier washing, and on top - a mattress topper so to say - one of those bath mats with those thousends of tiny 'bubbles' on the top (also from Kmart, but you can buy them everywhere in different sizes), which he loves sleeping on doesn't matter where I place it. He wouldn't sleep in a bunk, he loves sleeping close to his pack = us. :D
