Ha! That's Melbourne Traffic for you! Cheers, Paul & Michelle

Thanks Peter & Annette, Looking forward to having you along with us! Keep up your great work too Have a great year. I feel it's going to be a good one 👍

Hi, We just have the standard suspension that comes on Outback Jayco Journeys. It's called J Tech and is a collaboration between Jayco & Pedders. It is a fully independent system. The van travels really well. We have taken it to Cape York, Birdsville Track, Oodnadatta Tk, Stezelecki Tk. Burke Dev Rd. Darling River Run & Many other off road trips. We have never been concerned of it's capabilities on these tracks. In fact it rides better than our car does. We are heading up to the Kimberley again soon this year & from past experiences, are confident of it handling the Gibb River Rd without any problems. Our van is one of the first Jaycos to use this system (2015) After 9 years & in excess of 200,000km., Many off road, We are very happy with it. Don't know much about the roller rocker suspension. I have heard many people swear by it but have also heard of many broken leaf spring eyes as well. So I guess maintenance & regular inspections are important. I do like the coils in our system & they have never failed us Hope this helps Cheers, Paul & Michelle

Not any more. 4wds & vans banned from the beach now 🙄 We just made it. Was hoping to return but not now You can camp in the dunes for $20 a night. Council sites.

More sad for the families that lived there. All gone now.

Thanks ! We just use a couple of GoPro 9 Black standard. No external mic. We do use a foam wind cover that fits over the entire camera. We find it works well, even in high winds.Just picked them up on ebay. Cheap to replace. We don't do any overdubbing other than the music. Just try & speak up. I think loud & clear audio is very important, Thanks for noticing. We also use a DJI Air2S Drone. Cheers, Paul & Michelle

Merry Christmas to you too Peter & Annette, We hope you have a great festive season and happy travels for the new year. Good chance of us getting covered in red dust......Heading West again for most of 2025 Stay Safe , Paul & Michelle

@@pmk3australiaI’m jealous. We loved our WA trip earlier this year. Only 4 months but great. We installed a Natures Head compost toilet in the van before we left. Best thing we ever did. No more dump points and only emptied it 4 times during the entire trip. Picked up dirty fuel at Lombadina roadhouse on the Dampier peninsula. Fortunately I only topped up the long range tank. Blew black smoke out of the exhaust until we reached Katherine. Didn’t lose power and fortunately no engine damage. Certainly took the gloss of that part of the trip. Cheers Peter

Thanks for the heads up on the fuel situation. Luckily no engine damage. We run dual filters & water trap. So far so good Still using cassette dunny Have a second cassette. Don't mind it enough to change. We're planning on 6-8 months Really looking forward to it Stay safe Cheers 🍻 Paul & Michelle

Great Choice, Pildappa is a ripper!

Yes, The town has been levelled now from what I hear. Glad I got to visit & see what remained before. I guess it's for the better but as you said, sad.

You're welcome, You have some amazing drone work yourself. We love Karumba, don't know why, just feels right there. If you like fishing it's great too. Go for it, you won't regret it. Looking forward to your drone shots! Cheers. Paul

@@pmk3australiathanks! 😊

Ha Ha! Yep I get like that too when it's been a while since we were out there! Sorry only 2 seats in the DMax for me & the missus ......

OK ! Thanks for the info. Cheeers Paul

Yes! Unfortunately this is happening to many places. Been travelling this country since the early '80s. Glad I have seen all I have over the years. Some places I have visited are now closed & restricted. Some gone for good..... Others Overcrowded You have to agree the shear numbers of caravans & 4wds have got to a stage where you can't go anywhere & be alone these days. My First Simpson desert crossing many years back, I didn't see another person for 3 days....... It's like Bourke St out there now i'm still travelling, Heading west again early next year. Kimberley & Pilbara regions. Really looking forward to it but expect it to be busy. Anyway, Safe Travels, Paul

😂😂 Dunno 🤷. Didn't actually count the rocks. Been a while since but I was just looking at number 7 Good pick up

Hi👋. Thanks for your comments 😀. The big birds are Emu. As John Willianson sang: "He can't fly but I'm telling you He can run the pants off a kangaroo " 😂😂😂 Yeah 👍. Michelle really does care 😂😂 Cheers 🍻 Paul & Michelle

@@pmk3australia 😍

Glad you enjoyed it Yes. It's a great place & access is pretty good too 👍 Cheers Paul & Michelle

I would say no. These places should be left as is for everyone to see. Take only pictures leave only footprints! Cheers Paul.

@@pmk3australia im wondering if all those abandoned cars are drivable.

I Think when I was there a few of the residents were still living in town. I Believe It has since been totally evacuated & remaining buildings have been demolished. So I would imagine that there's nothing left to see anymore.

Wow! You dug up a memory there! 14 years ago on the way home from a Great Central Rd trip solo.... glad you enjoyed it. Have a safe trip. Cheers 🍻 Paul

Thanks for your comments, We love to hear from people that actually lived at the places we explore..... We heard about Moolyella from the guy that managed the general store in Marble Bar. I think his name was Murray & his partner Hazel worked at the Travellers Rest service station. We love to explore these places & see the not so touristy places & a little local knowledge goes a long way. We really enjoyed our stay in Marble Bar. We are heading that way again next year but will be spending a a month or so in the Kimberley before moving down into the Pilbara again Really looking forward to it. The north west is like no other place in the country. Thanks again for taking the time to share your story with us Stay Safe, Paul & Michelle

Ha. Nah.... The Darling River Run is a drive. You would struggle getting a boat down the length of the river. At times it hardly flows Just a bit different from the Murray Cheers 🍻

Thanks 🙏 You'll love Birdsville And Big Red is a lot of fun if it's not too busy up there Enjoy your trip Travel Safe Cheers Paul & Michelle

That's Amazing. So glad to hear info like that We did see it in Edithburgh Such a beautiful & rugged coast Really enjoyed the Yorke Peninsula. In fact we were supposed to go across to the Eyre but spent so long on the Yorke we ran out of time 😂 Thanks for your comments Really appreciate & your connection to the place Cheers Paul & Michelle

@@pmk3australia Thanks for your reply. It is a beautiful place. I grew up in Yorketown and my mum is still there. Sadly my dad passed away 6 months ago but as I said he has left a wonderul legacy for all his family. I am glad you got to visit such a beautiful part of Australia.

Yep. Pretty Special as long as the weather is kind Very exposed if it turns nasty Cheers 🍻

2023. November 👍

We used to use a Thuraya Satellite Phone which worked really well but since their satellite system failed it's now useless Disappointed because it was a very affordable option We are currently looking at other options. Starlink looks great but expensive but might have to go with it as it is probably the best alternative Not sure I want to go back to a satellite phone again The plans are expensive for what you get & feel I might just as well pay the extra cost for Starlink & have a full internet service Haven't really done a lot of research yet but something we need to look at soon Sorry I couldn't be more helpful Cheers Paul

Thanks Ron. Qld has a bit of everything Tropics, Outback, Great Coast & The Great Dividing Range So much to do and see But then the whole country is Amazing. Just have to take it one day at a time....... Cheers 🍻 Paul & Michelle

Thanks 👍. Yeah, The emu are a strange one, You never know what they are going to do🤣

She scares me too at times. It's just that I'm usually the one filming so you onle get to see the times I scare her.......😂

Thanks, We'll try Cheers.

Yes, We visit regularly as we have family in Palm Cove & always come home that way. Thanks for you comments, Glad you like what we do Cheers

No. Wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info. Next time Cheers

Thanks. Yes it's beautiful country indeed 👍

Ah! Bummer. There were no signs but we followed our maps Explororoz traveller. The spot where we were wasn't far from the old racetrack site Gonna have to go back out and have another look now 🙄 Thanks for the info Cheers 🍻 Paul & Michelle

@@pmk3australia it shows up on the pdf map of the Currawinya national park. Took a bit to find a map. Maybe people are making it a bit hard to find, bit like not allowed to walk up Ayres Rock anymore.

Thanks for the info. We did notice many of the signs were missing.

Okay 👌. Thanks for that info 🙏 We thought we had the right place...... cheers 🍻 Paul

Thanks Ron. It's a bit hit and miss but sometimes I get lucky & get a good one 😂😂😂 Stay safe Cheers 🍻

Wow That's a great compliment! We really appreciate it too! We try not to be like a lot of others on here We're just us..... no drama I have a saying " More drama than a UA-cam thumbnail " 😂😂😂😂 Cheers 🍻

Yes, on a leash 👍

Thank you @@pmk3australia

Really Cool & really Popular But seriously it's a beautiful place We enjoyed our time there

Ha! Yeah but I need to keep Michelle off the drums 😂😂😂

Yes! We planned a short visit & ended up extending So much to see in the area Thanks for your comments Cheers 🍻

Thank you so much 👍. I appreciate your comment & support We try to keep it honest & real At the risk of not attracting subscribers 😂

😂😂😂 lived in Darwin in '82/83 and also visited Rum Jungle Was there again last year but it was difficult to find Not sure if I glow at night, have to check 😂😂😂 Thanks for the comment 👍

Thanks Ron. It's a fascinating place & a great camp spot. Think we will always stay there or Corella Dam on the way across Qld. Cheers 🍻 Paul

Ha......Yep. I have. And it is higher drivable now Mt Nameless was named highest drivable prior to Mt Meharry being drivable There's a plaque at the top of Mt Nameless stating that it's the highest drivable but now that's not the case..... That's where I got my info from

@@pmk3australia I drove up Mt Meharry 13 years ago. It was always drivable.

Ok😂 Still there is a Plaque on top of Mt Nameless stating that it is the Highest Drivable Mt in WA. Guess it must have been placed before that. 🍻

Thanks Ron, Yeah, the one liners come naturally between us & sometime we catch the odd one on video. Glad you appreciate them! But we're just being ourselves 😀Cheers

Glad you enjoyed Thanks 🙏 Cheers 🍻

Thanks for the advice 🙏 I have had heaps of ideas from our Facebook page also Many did mention peppermint Might give it a try Although we've been travelling around the country since the,80s and it was the first time we had a problem with rats. Seen the occasional mice plague but they didn't get under the bonnet Cheers 🍻 Paul & Michelle

Have fun! It's a great walk Cheers 🍻
