Another great video, thanks for this info. Will definitely try out these spots. They all look beautiful. Safe travels.

Watching from the U.S and while I know huntsman spiders are harmless I would honestly have an out of body experience coming across one of those....and that's coming from someone who has to deal with brown recluse spiders in their home. 😅

Love your videos!

Get a small duel fuel generator and run propane in it for charging your batteries in emergencies when you don't feel like driving. Look into it they're not as noisy as you may think. I was checking them out the other day.

Oh my god. The whinging!

I spent a few nights at the hope town camp site, but I did go up the hill . I did have a landcruiser

You don’t know how lucky you are to have each other. Thanks for the video, my first from your channel.

Thank God it's you and not me, but hey now I'm sure I'll never do it.

You can also stuff your holes with steel wool, they don't like that. We've done that in our trailer, works every time.

Brutal 😮

Omg you’re so funny. I’m American and my husband is a commercial fisherman so he’s gone to Alaska 2 months at a time. We live in the country and when he’s gone mice, spiders, chicken dispatching… it’s on me so I too have to face my fears a lot lol I don’t know how you got back in there with that spider though. Australians are built different. Mice? No problem. Spider that size? I’m out. 😂

Hey you might have been in Cooper Pedy when we were. Like you a big lag in a 4x4 Sprinter our only issue was the roads killed the rear shocks and we had to wait for them to be shipped in from Germany as our van was only 2 years old. Mercedes replaced them for free which was nice. We've moved back to NZ and had a failure of the main onboard computer. Luckily in a carpark not on the beach - where I take my van as i land sail.

🤣 so funny to see the way they are wrapped up and trying to fix the heater. you cant even see thier breath.

Women flu

Thats the problem these days, vehicles that think??? leave the thinking to the driver.... cant trust these new vans now, too much tech and sensors

NASA… nice. Good content.

My Mum, Dad , 6 kids and a dog did the lap in 1962, NSW return. Very different back then, 1st persons to travel around our country in a bus! Pioneers.

I knew it was RRV as soon as you narrowed the pain down to an index finger and right knee. 90% of people report the broken cricket finger, or the dodgy knee from football or netball, and that toe we keep kicking on the edge of the couch when we are at our most tired. lol. So I am surprised that a Tropical city hospital didn't recognise what is a federally reportable condition. I caught a real tropical version in PNG, 2 years after having a motorbike accident that tweaked every joint except 1 elbow, and yes every vertebrae in my spine and neck and even the semi flexible joints in the hands and feet. I was bed ridden for 9 months with basically 2 hours awake and it took those whole 2 hours to eat and shower and then back to sleep for another 22 hours a day. 3 years out of work and 9 years of debilitating pain every xmas time for 6-10 weeks where I would have to quit work to rest my aches and pains.

Way not kill the mouse in hot water , so it wont come back to the van. Other ways it makes no sens.

Keep Australia Beautiful........Stay Home.

You videos are all amazing !

Diesel heaters are great but don't get a cheap one or a complex one.

Desmond here thank you so. Much for your reply very heloful yes the kata tour looks like it will ve worth it i am not sure what the bus tour is doing on that day its a bit of surprise yes i will be prepared for the fly hopefully i get a fly hat before we get to uluru i think i might skip the camel burger because i am thinking the AAT bus we are on might have something better in the way of food a break for lunch i am flying qantas they are doing block boarding at the major airports number one to six in your group you have to wait for your number to be call before you board the plane might have to put a jacket in or jumper in be cold cannot wait its be seven years since i left new zealand because of covid and the lockdowns we had in new zealand yes i am exicted calm and relax

Yeh lets makr it about the negatives, NO thanks.

OMG the spider. I would have died 🫠🫠🫠

Desmond here last time i went on tour of england scotland ireland wales france switzerland uae in 2012 they said try not to have a accident because its too much paperwork

Desmond here yes i am very aware of the weather the heat the rain i think we will get four seasons on our tour i am taking a empty back pack with me i have a micro cooling towel

Desmond here how much are the camel burgers how much is the culture tour

Hi Guys We are planning for a big lap and them lots of smaller trips. Watching your videos. I have learnt alot from your you tube Chanel thank you. I live about an hr from you and could really assossiated with your trips. We are at a different stage of life. But loved what your children got out of it. The lasting memories you can't buy as they are priceless. And you are so right about stuff. We have started the clear out and it is just stuff we have accumulated over many many year. Thank for the help you have given us to plan our new adventure and stage in our life.

Desmond do i need to bring light colour shirts short jeans or long jeans my tour starts on the 6th of august 2024 to nigel and sue your videos are very informative love your videos thumps up nigel and sue our. Group is going to kings canyon i am getting pretty excited now 8 weeks to go my last trip was to china in 2018 cold in auckland the middle of winter

Desmond here it's only another 2 months to go before I start my 2 week tour with the group I have never be to uluru and northern territory. I did not know that was the oldest culture in the world is it very hot there does it cold there thats what I am waiting for the different colours at uluru are the flys a swarm of flys how far is kata from uluru

Cotton balls were a good alert method, though!

Had to comment again when I saw the mice bit. We had a rat die somewhere inside the double skin of our bus and try as I might I could not get to it to remove it. I stank for months, although that was insignifficant to the time we unloaded a fridge and turned it off and forgot about the stuff in the freezer. Oh my goodness the smell was terrible and we never really got rid of it. (That was in a later rig rhat we sold quite quickly afterward.) On the sickness and injury front I got a hernia and had to change a front flat tyre at Warmun. Had to get help with that one. Didn't get it (the hernia) fixed till we got to Darwin. Not much fun at the time but good stories for later on.

Great video. It is good to show the other side of the big lap. Corrugations are a real nightmare but sadly tjhey are just a fact of life. They can seriously damage vehicles so turning back was probably the smart move. The weather just loves to have a fit when you least expect it too. We did the big lap in a 1962 Bedford bus and breakdowns were our biggest nightmare as it was difficult to find a big enough tow truck to recover us and geting spare parts was always fun. With all the hassles we had, i woudn't have missed doing it for anything. We never go near the coast in peak season so never have any trouble finding camps :) Gotta say you haven't been bogged until you get bogged in a 2wd 9 ton bus with a car and trailer on the back LOL

Not sure how true this is, but I read online sometime ago that since WikiCamps was acquired by G'Day Parks back in 2021, many of the free campgrounds listed in WikiCamps have been removed. Especially those close to holiday parks owned and operated by G'Day Parks. As for campers poor behaviour, sadly I often see this with rubbish left in campsites. When will these dimwits ever learn that this anti-social acts is what gets campgrounds closed. I guess dimwits will always be dimwits, and are too dumb to understand the meaning of "Leave it better than you found it" ethos.

thanks for the trip review. as someone who has never been on a cruise ship i will definitely wait for the new ships to arrive, nothing like brand new!

Great video! If that was the worse of it, you must have had a great trip!

Lalgambuk! 😍 Love Mount Franklin. Thanks for the recommendations, list is growing 🚐

thanks for this. I stayed at a lot of free camps in Victoria. I came for a month or two and it's been nearly a year now. Love Victoria.

Great fun. Love to see it all. Nice camera work. Keep liv'n the adventure...

Hi Nigel, and Sue it’s a shame that people come to destroy what you’ve come to enjoy specially with shit tickets. I don’t understand why you don’t just dig a hole and makes me wild. You can understand people that own the property shut down these private camps because of stupidity. Unfortunately, I always enjoy your videos keep up the good work from Logan city

How could living in a van ever be good! Duh

Australia is just beautiful ❤

Parts of Australia NSW especially, have had a mice plague. Make sure you don’t venture into those areas 😬

Theres a snake catcher in QLD who catches snakes and just releases them in area why? He gets to gaurantee work. $$$$$$

Good summary. These is what memories are made of. 👍

Awesome video! We’re passing through there in October, and now we have ideas for what to see 🇦🇺

We have had good luck with stainless steel wool for areas that need to be plugged.

Steel wool

You did a whole video of the drama of a mouse. That was your big. Oh my God are you kidding? I’m mouse, dear Lord lady if that’s the worst that ever happens to you while you’re doing your van life be thankful that is a crock of shit I thought somebody tried to come in and rape you !!!What the hell!!!???? a mouse !??? are you kidding me
