In lockdown, it has become a Sunday morning tradition to lay in bed, drink coffee...and live vicariously through you guys. Thanks for keeping the vids flowing.
Hi Rachel, We are glad you enjoy the vids, and we will won’t be stopping any time soon, that’s for sure. Lockdowns do present a challenge though 😀 Cheers, Karl & Katty.
@@nowhereboundtouring While in lockdown, you might be doing a video about farm life. That would be interesting for a lot of people, specially for those living in cities and those who have never visited Australia. Cheers
Hi another great adventure of your life with excellent music choice and explanation of the places you are seeing 👌, I think your life of traveling is a fantastic opportunity of value in gaining nolige of Australia. Thanks and safe travels 😉.
Gday Victor, Mungo national park was good, staying overnight for a couple of days is well worth it. The animal life is great. We would suggest paying for a guided tour, to get the best out of the park. They were a wealth of knowledge and history. Darling river is close by and well worth a trip up it if you like remoter style of camping and outback pubs 👍 Gundabooka National park is exceptional.
Great work. Certainly is a very special place to visit. We were there end of june and loved it. We'll definitely be heading back again. The mungo lodge does an awesome feed.
@@nowhereboundtouring You realise that you guys, along with other travellers and you-tubers are, for the time being, our only connection to nature and open spaces.
@@nowhereboundtouring So you are restricted to 5km travel from your home? (Your home is your caravan, so really you guys never go more than a few meters from your home, regardless of where you go right?) :) if only....
Awesome! Finally the perfect timing to watch another premiere 🙂 Another fantastic episode guys, just incredible scenery and history. Avocado toast for the next cooking adventure then? 😂 New wheels look good too. Safe travels, A&J
Gday A &J, Good timing, we like that… We are eating plenty of Avo’s, almost breakfast, lunch , dinner, and they are nice. As I just mentioned to Roger above, the wheel and tyre combo feels better than the ones we previously had. I would say there is not a lot of difference in “bump” feel compared to the 37” tyres, which is great, as I was dreading going back to the truck tyres. Cheers, karl
@@nowhereboundtouring As per my message, the alloys should reduce your unsprung weight a little and that will knock the ride around less even with the stiffer sidewalls. We have the steels with the Toyos and they still aren't too bad. It took us a while to work out the best pressures for some terrain, including sand, but Toyo were very helpful in suggesting starting pressures given our axle loading figures. We just refined a little from there and have had no issues, even on soft sand. Nothing wrong with avos, we use them quite a bit for cooking. And hey, if they are coming your way in good supply, make the most of it! Safe travels, A&J
Hi A, Yes, agree with everything you have said, but I was still pleasantly surprised how good the ride is compared to previous. I am just waiting to see how it is on very rough roads, 30 to 40 km/h stuff… and sand with our weight. Cheers, karl
Gday John, Thanks for watching and commenting. The guide said that this is the greenest he has ever seen it, which is great for the country. Cheers, karl
@@nowhereboundtouring unfortunately not, that’s why it was great to see your video. It’s a beautiful place out there so lucky to see it after rain. Keep up the great work.
How great was Mungo National Park. I just looked it up in the map book, certainly isolated. I am assuming you traveled up via Balranald? How was the road up to where you camped? Great video guys, thank you.
Gday Stephen, The road up was mostly good, as it had just been graded. The ungraded parts were rough, but ok for a van if you just slow down. Cheers, karl
Hi Stephen, You book the tour on the NSW Parks web site, just search for Mungo NP tour. We chose the NP tour as the guides are all indigenous to the area. Cheers, karl
Thanks Brad. The new tyres feel surprisingly good on road, and on the dirt we have done, so time will tell. I am confident that they will not have any robustness issues, but sand and mud…… Oh well, at least we won’t die making it to our destination. Cheers, Karl
G'day. Did u guys get the tour that's on the NSW parks website? There are a few other tours for example by Mungo Lodge. Not sure what the difference is
Hi Abbey, We used the parks website tour, and it was good. I don’t think we would of had anywhere near the same experience, if we did not do the tour. Cheers, Karl.
Great video! Beautiful place! I have a question, how do the 19.5" and 35" tyres compare to the previous 37" tyres you had on? Handling and ride? I'm thinking of going with the 19.5 " 35" Toyo's with alloy rims as well. Thanks in advance.
Hi Seb, So far on sealed roads they perform better, quieter and the ride is about the same. Dirt roads the ride and grip is about the same. I assume on very rough roads the ride will be rougher, as you can not lower the pressure to the same amount. I also think they will not perform as well in sand or mud, but they should last well and be less prone to punctures. Cheers, karl
@@nowhereboundtouring Thanks for your reply Karl. I'm hoping the 35's should be the right decision for us, I need them to retain the 7500GVM for the farm but also would like to have some off-road abilities. I appreciate your opinion on this and thanks for taking the time to write. Cheers and safe travels.
Hey RGR, Truck Centre to centre is 1.8m Truck outside tyre width is 2.1m Truck tray is just over 2.2m Van centre to centre is 2.1m Van tyre outside width is 2.3m Cheers, karl
@@nowhereboundtouring thanks that's given me the info. My box is 1600mm and wheel base is around 2000mm with the guard of 2300mm. What I like to say is thanks for your video's, been working lots to get full time on road.

Exactly the same over here 😀
Even if we don't have a lockdown at the moment.

Really enjoyed that. Thank You

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for travelling along with us, we love seeing different locations and areas.
Cheers, karl
Nice look around guys! I only just found your channel. Cheers Steve
Gday Steve,
Welcome, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I hope you like our style, and we can continue to take you on our journeys.
Cheers, karl
Another good one. Hope the new wheels & tyres work out well
Hi Andrew,
So far they are good, and I assume it will stay that way…..but we will see after 6 months 😀
Thank you that was Amazing 👍💯
Thanks Glen.
Amazing !
Thanks Louisa 👍
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I’m looking forward to doing a similar tour this October.

Gday Mr105,
We had Mungo on our radar, but didn’t quite make it there for food. We had a look at it and it did look very nice in the dining room.
That was awesome,many thanks 😷safe travels!
Thanks Alan.
Nice place. Can just imagine it full of water - a glistening oasis. Take care.
Thanks Benny,
It would of been magnificent full of water, the bird and animal life would be something great to have seen.
Cheers, karl

Love the green growth out there, always been brown and grey when I have gone past.

Great video guys,great to see you at Mungo ( we were the ones in the rooftop).👍

It a shame we didn’t catch up and have a chat, maybe next time.
Did you do the tour?

Great video btw How r the new tyres going
Thanks Brad.
The new tyres feel surprisingly good on road, and on the dirt we have done, so time will tell. I am confident that they will not have any robustness issues, but sand and mud……
Oh well, at least we won’t die making it to our destination.

I like to ask a question. What the wheel track width of truck and van. I am building a square back off road camper. Soon to buy suspension.
Hey RGR,
Truck Centre to centre is 1.8m
Truck outside tyre width is 2.1m
Truck tray is just over 2.2m
Van centre to centre is 2.1m
Van tyre outside width is 2.3m
