- Welcome back to another video! This week we are heading to Outback Queensland!
Bluetti EOFY Sale www.bluettipow...
AC180 discount code: 50AC180CAA (A$50, 1st-31st July)
We start this one off getting some essential spares for the caravan and putting up the awning clothesline before exploring around Lake Maraboon in Emerald. We are then met by some not so friendly campers when we arrive at Lara wetlands, who decide to tell people where they can and cant camp. Putting that interaction behind us we enjoy a relaxing swim in the hot springs a toasty 38 degrees and even get up for a sunrise dip the next day.
After leaving Lara Wetlands we call into Barcaldine for a walk in the town before heading north to Aramac to do the 200km Sculpture trail and visit lake Dunn. A quick trip into Muttaburra to explore the town and look into the Interpretive centre shows us more information on Outback QLDs Dinosaur History.
To complete a bit of a loop we make our way into Longreach and camp at Apex Riverside Park and check out some free things to do in Longreach.

Hey thank you so much for the Super Thanks Gift 🤩🤩 really appreciate it!
@@kellystravelauzplus2 - That's sooo kind of you, thank you for your kindness🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍👍
Hi guys as a worker at larra wetlands we are so sorry that people do that we hope it didn't destroy your time here .we hope you continue to have a safe and happy journey all the best Rob
Why on earth would you be trying to compare Australia with Switzerland? Nobody expects mountains, pine trees and snow in the outback. Desert landscape is a vastly different experience.
Glad you have finally met Karen. Now she’s behind you enjoy the rest of your trip. We’re enjoying your posts
👍🏽👍🏽 thanks for watching
Stone Stomper is really the only truly effective solution for stone chips. It will also significantly reduce dust on the back of the vehicle and front and forward sides of the van. Only negative is in heavy mud where it will accumulate mud on top of the mesh and make it hang very low and possibly drag. Another thing to note is their service and warranty support is absolutely first class. We wouldn’t tow without one.
Great videos guys. 👍😎
Thanks David for the tip!
Stone Stomper seems like a great option 👍🏽👍🏽
The only option, the stone stomper has saved our camper trailer from a mile of stone chips from our trips over the Plenty hwy, Merinee loop rd and a trip up to the cape.
Hmm, We towed a Jayco Swan across NSW east west north south, every corner about 14 years ago. I would get an old quilt or a couple of blankets and duct tape them over the whole front of the Jayco. Duct taped the vents as well. Worked a treat but these days you can fit Stone Stomper and the like. In an emergency blanket is excellent.
Another great episode, thanks. I purchased a used off road van that had been well used offroad. The previous owners Ram 2500 only had standard rear mud flaps. The van had a vertical mesh screen with frame mounted (caravan stone guard shield)on the van drawbar. This frame had the standard short mud flaps mounted off the bottom of it. This mesh frame stopped most of the damage to the front of the van. What did happen though is the rocks went under it and badly damaged the underside of the van and water tanks. My suggestion from my experience is fit the stone guard shield to the van but change the mudflaps fitted below this and make them bigger and go to the ground. This will stop the rocks going under the van from your ranger. I would also fit big mud flaps across the back of the Ranger (rock tamers). So essentially two sets of mud flaps going across the width and to the ground, both on the van and ranger. Those nets that go horizontally from the ute to the van (stone stompers) are a waste of money. All the damage on our van is underneath the van not on the front of it.
Hey thanks so much for the tip! Really appreciate that information 👍🏽
Your historical introduction to your camping adventures was captivating. Having spent time in Australia before returning to New Zealand, I developed a profound appreciation for Australia's diverse landscape, particularly its abundance of mining ore and minerals amidst the seemingly barren and dry terrain. Australia's vastness holds a unique allure, especially coming from a country renowned for its majestic mountains, lush forests, and picturesque lakes. Witnessing a hot spring in Australia was particularly remarkable for me, given New Zealand's volcanic activity. It was a cool experience to see such natural wonders in a different context.👍
That’s great 😃 glad you love Australia and enjoyed your time here
Don’t let people bully you. I have said, what are you going to do about it? They walk off. Live your life babe. Don’t let people make you feel bad 😊
Yes 🙌🏼
Sadly avoiding rude people, campers etc can be pretty hard. It’s like when you park in a virtually empty carpark and come back to see a car parked up close to you! Unbelievable as it happens way too often.
Yes some people aren’t very nice 😞
I have a Bluetti 180 as well great addition to our set up, instead of moving it around he van try plugging it into your external power input, you can then use all power points in your van, providing you dont exceed its capability, when off grid we can run the microwave, airfryer, skylink etc from the Bluetti, set up in our vehicle charging when we go for a drive.
Hey thats an awesome idea! Saves moving it around the van for sure! Great work thanks for watching! 🍻
We just have the AC180 under the end of the bed and run a small extension leasd to the ensuite. Having it outside exposes it to the weather and possible theft. Also, the power to the van should be earthed, so unless you connect the earth point of the Bluetti to the ground, it's not ideal to plug in directly.
You two, dead set, are 'Fair Dinkum. Since 1971, me and the Missus, and our two very pre teen boys, have done a fair bit of travelling, a fair bit of camping, wasn't easy. I was in the RAAF, bot transferred all over NSW, QLD, SA, WA, and the NT. Phew!.
Such a great video!! I’d love to see an updated video on the power bank and how long you get out of it with everything you use on it. It’s the first time for us hearing about it and definitely think it’ll be a good buy for our lap.
The reverse happens...........we were the only ones camped at the end of a 25k long beach tucked up against the rocks and had a car after dark come and park within a car width beside us. Creepy and felt like we were in Wolf Creek.
Oh yeah that’s not right 😣😨
I love the dark and scaring ppl. I would've had them running 😂
OMG YES, did the exact same thing at Gundagai. Parked right up the end doing our own thing, next minute ole' mate turns up in the dark and decided to park right near our camp :/ They are certainly out there :(
@@yumisage hahahaha
We just had the front of our van covered with Rhino Lining in springwood from top of checker plate to roof, turned out nice as and stone resistant, and I sprayed the A frame, wheel arch and under floor behind wheels with raptor paint (comes in spray paint can) for extra stone protection, and pool noodled water lines under van, nice NRV you have, we have one as well.
Good idea cos sheet is to thin on vans , smart build would be to sheet just front with heavy-duty sheet top to bottom, no holes or dints and yeah good coat of good rhino stuff and vans done properly
I used proper plumbers Gray insulation foam n zip ties over pipes water esp and gas if exposed , helps keep hot water hot before it comes out taps
Thanks for watching mate!
What is Rhino lining? I do like the idea of the raptor coat for sure! Drawbar will be getting that down the track for sure 👍
We will have to get into protecting the water lines next too 👍
Great idea of the lagging mate!
I was a Karen a few days ago - a huge free camp, probably 50 acres, and a motorhome parked so close I couldn't roll my awning out. They told me to move if it bothered me so much. They did move in the end.
Oh wow that’s crazy!
It’s all circumstantial hey. If it’s quiet and plenty of room you don’t park near people.
Hope it didn’t sour your stay too much
Thanks!
Hey Stephen! Thank you so much for watching and sending a super thanks gift 🤩👍🏽 really appreciate it.
Most stone protectors work to some degree but over the years I’ve accepted that if you want to go bush, tracks, desert tracks, mud, sand then your van will take a pounding. If you want everything pristine, buy the stone protectors, stay on the black top and travel 15km on dirt every afternoon to camp site.
Absolutely right, we just don't want quite as many as our last van 😂 looked like we had hail damage on the front so we're pretty keen to look after this new purchase of ours 👍
I have bad memories of Lara Wetlands, when refilling our tanks our caravan sank into a hole as the tap was leaking and there was a star picket in the hole. Had to use our max tracks to get out then a week later blew a tyre where the star picket had weakened the tyre. So things can go wrong anywhere! Probably should go back for new memories.
Oh wow that’s crazy 😳
Hope everything turned out okay after that 😊
Thanks for watching
Yep Stone Stomper for Sure. Have one on our Ultimate camper and it was an absolute life saver when we did the GibRiver Road two years ago! And made in your home town of Adelaide of course.
Yes we’ve just got one actually! So good
Hi guys, very envious when you two got in that lovely hot pool. Like the way you two visit all the interesting places it all goes to making a great trip. Thanks Jon🇦🇺WA
Thanks Jon for watching!
Being an Australian from Melbourne I'm so proud of our beautiful country ❤️ 🇦🇺😊🐨🐾🦘🌺💎🤠
🙌🏼🤩 yes love it!
Yeah, the country is nice, but it needs a population transplant.
We run the stonestomper, not only will it protect the front of the van but also your tailgate, the chassis and the amount of dust thrown up over van… we love ours!
Thanks for the tip! We’ve heard great things about the Stone Stomper
Great episode again . By the way if you do like sculpture trails , there is a fabulous trail in WA called the Tin Horse Highway out from Kulin in the s/e wheatbelt . Very quirky with titles for each sculpture . A good free camp in town . Enjoying the fabulous country you are taking us through even though we have been through the towns 7 years ago .
Thanks for the tip! We will add that one to our list 👍🏽😃
Having driven from Oakey QLD (just outside Toowoomba) to Katherine in the NT when I was with the Army, I feel no need to revisit any outback town. Lived in Rocky for over 4 years and never ventured any further inland than Mount Morgan. Thanks for the vid.
I've had a Bluetti 2200w for 4 years. Now plug it into your main power plug outside. Now plug your 240v plug off the inverter into the Bluetti during the day when it needs charging. Maximum wattage 400w. 3 hrs charge time. People spend 6k to 10k on lithium batteries etc for caravan & 4WD. BLUETTI take it with you.
👍🏽👍🏽 glad your loving yours too
Glad you like yours mine is overpriced and underwhelming performance , for $1200 i made myself a system that runs everything and at about 450 watts of load it will last about 90 hrs with no charge . The bluetti and others alike are just a gimmick you tubers only rave about them because they get them for free and get paid to promote them ! ( Auto electrician turned solar technician )
Those sculptures were amazing. Some very clever people out there. I am with Juice walking over water on boards! Very unnerving. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for watching Linda!
Yes Juice gets very scared of things like that haha
Hi Guy's
We have a Network RV caravan, and our towing vehicle is a Wildtrak ranger, and we use the stone stomper for stone protection, which works great.
Safe travelling
Awesome! We’ve just got a Stone Stomper 🙌🏼
Sorry that Karen upset you Chels. Some people are like that unfortunately, we have come across a few. Funny thing though we find them mostly in caravan parks, in free/ low cost camps usually people are really friendly. Great vid , I think we will take that route next time. Last time we were that way we just followed the Barkly through to Townsville. Glad to see all things are going well for you two😁
Yes shame there are rude people out there who just love to complain and make people feel bad.
It’s a lovely drive with so much to see 👍🏽
We LOVE our stone stomper! It has really protected our van and the rear of our car.
Thanks guys! Heard great things about Stone Stomper
Have had our stone stomper for more than 12 years and it’s still going strong. Wouldn’t be without it!
Loved Lara Wetlands. Awesome Saturday night entertainment. Lots of Karen's in the area. One actually saved our awning when a wind gust turned it inside out due to me not using guy ropes. Loved your trip and tips.
We were at Lara Wetlands in 2017, what an amazing place. We also have a Bluetti AC180 which works a treat on the electric blankets !!
Good idea about the electric blanket
@@CaravanAdventureAus and the pod coffee machine.
We have been using stone stomper for years now can highly recommend… we have also installed a Busy Bee brush in front of the airbag suspension to help there also.
Awesome to hear! Love the feedback, we will have a look at the busy bee brush sounds handy!
When I first moved to Brisbane, I got a truck driving job that involved carting a lot of freight into the old Roma St. rail goods yard and, like you, I struggled with the place name, Barcaldine. Gayndah also gave me trouble and caused a lot of laughs for the Queensland Rail blokes.
So glad I’m not the only one 👍🏽👍🏽
Great show , first time viewer . I have subscribed and look forward to future episodes . safe travels .
Thanks for watching mate we appreciate it! 👍 🍻
Me too. 🙂
We love muttaburra. Our neighbours had a farm just north of there Hillview. Another interesting thing is the centre of Queensland monument was designed and built by my uncles engineering firm in Brisbane. Just a bit of trivia for you. Say hello to Fiona at the pub and store.
Hey Mark! That’s cool 👍🏽 thanks for the info 😃
Use products like rock tamers to stop the stones from flicking up. Love your videos, you've given me ideas for places to see.
Thanks for the recommendation mate! Glad we can help!
What you need to get to protect the front of the van and the rear of your car is a Stone Stomper. Best thing ever. I researched everything and I didn’t want to get any chips on the rear of our new vehicle and then I found the video on the SS.
Awesome! We’ve heard great things about Stone Stompers so just bought one 👍🏽
I did a combination install of a stoner stomper and rock tamer combined. Changed the horizontal bar bolts of tamer to eye bolts, discarded normal hitch mount of stone stoner but used rest and attached the bungies to the eyebolts. I have photos for better explanation
Hey thanks Kevin for the tip! Appreciate it
Great tip on the lug nuts, something that is often overlooked.
Absolutely overlooked! Chelseas parents had them sheer off of a wheel and since then we've always had a spare set
Lara Wetlands is a lovely spot. Probably the most expensive spot we have stayed but, but having said that we have stayed there a few times. Plenty of places to pull in usually without encroaching on others but some think they need more room than others.
Yes it’s a great place hey 👍🏽😃 thanks for watching!
Hi guys that was a great episode, that Karen gets around she was camping next to us in WA 😂
Haha yes we’ve had a few in WA too 🥵 they are bad over there in the campgrounds.
‘We’ve been coming here for 25 years’ hahaha
Hi Bryce! A Tip.If you tension that wire too tight you will have issues with your awning posts. They will be more difficult to get your posts to release next time you try.
Thanks for the tip! 👍🏽
I’m 5th generation Australian and I’ve never liked the outback, my bad. I think it’s because I don’t like the heat at all. My mother loved it, went on quite a few outback tours. Give me rolling lush green hills anytime.
Yes the outback can be very harsh and not to mention dusty 🥵
Not sure how keen you are, but I pre pack my bearings with grease for our 4wd and cryovac them. That way if you do need to change out a bearing on the track, you wont have to stuff around with grease.
Yeah nice! That’s a great idea 👍🏽
This was a great video guys. I think your videos shine when you do the outback locations.
Thank you! 😃😃
Loved the sculptures sourced from “bits n bobs”.
Great content. Thank you very much for sharing your content.
Very useful information regarding your power station box.
Regards from William.
Mount Gambier, SA.
Thanks so much William!
Stone stomper is the best. Choose the vehicle width of the Stone stomper so it's right to the edge of your vehicle.
Thanks mate we reckon stone stomper are the way to go for sure 👍
Wetlands and thermal pools look like great spot to camp.
Stopping at Barcaldine in 4 weeks so will definitely check out the tree of knowledge. Xx
👌🏾👌🏾
How good is Lara Wetlands….BTW Stone stomper hands down the best. From ordering to delivery was under two weeks and a perfect custom fit 👍
It's an awesome spot for sure!
That seems to be the best option from everyone's census! 🍻
Put a heavy rubber mat e,g conveyer belt rubber, from bottom of tray to literally 2 inch of ground have it right across the entire ute and inch past outside of Ute's back wheels , a mat of 7 to 10 mm thick is heavy enough so no weights or extra brackets , use angle line and flat trap steel equal size to angle place mat between drill holes rivet or bolt together and then attach to bottom of tray deck infront of tail lights or close
Hey thanks mate for the tip! 👍🏽 appreciate it
Just a thought, put protection for your gas bottles, hoses and connections, shaking causes fittings to loosen, rocks and dust can damage the pipes.
Watching from New Zealand...happy adventures guys..that's some beautiful locations you have visited...
Thanks so much for watching! 😃👍🏽
I’d get an angled stone deflector fitted across the drawbar in front of the gas bottles and a rock tamer on your tow hitch that hangs down closer to the ground
Thanks for the tip mate! 👍🏽
Hi guys, just come across the channel very good I really enjoy it. I love barking There is a tent in Barcaldine that’s got more stuff in there, then in Longreach
Thanks so much for watching!
👍🏽😃
We don’t have a T.v either. We took ours out and bought a projector. Then went to Bunnings and bought a cheap white roller blind. Probably never go back to T.vs to be honest.
Wow that’s such a great idea! 🤩
Tbh who wants to watch tv when you go camping do enough of that at home kind of defeats the purpose of going away really
@@aussieguy3689Me. Footy and news. Good fodder for casual chats.
Great show,, my daughter was a nurse at Longreach, got zapped by the local coppers in that spot
Cheers for watching mate! Thats no good at all she shouldn't have been riding her skateboard so fast! 😂
Congrats with the new van. I would recommend a Stone Stomper & they are great to deal with
Fantastic! We’ve heard great things about them
Guys the sculptures are AMAZEBALLS!
Thankyou.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
The Cow ABSOLUTELY blew Me away, great video stuff the Karens.
My husband and myself were at Apex Park, Longreach, in 2016 the roosters were there then. I don't know how many years that roosters have been at Apex Park. I think that some travelers, like having the roosters at camp and some don't. Personally myself, I loved having the roosters around the camp ground.
Yes the roosters were so great!
I love the sound of them 🥰
Hi there, i just subscribed, and awesome vid, especially about dinosaurs, and having your little dino digger, 😂 can't wait to see where you take me next. Cheers 🥂
Hey, thanks for watching!
He was looking for fossils too 😂
See you next Sunday!
Get some rock tamers or another great option is stone stomper the stone stomoer hooks from the car to the van and eliminates any stones coming up
Thanks mate for the tip! We’ve heard great things about Stone Stompers
Omg I love the art …, very cool, I’ll this on my travel list !
😃👍🏽
Just uploaded your vids but saying you don’t care about this thing? Chelsea, you two are own your own , just you two! Support each other and what you’ve got, be happy to be doing what you’re doing! And thank you
I was born and raised around MUTTABURRA, spent the first 23 years living and working around there
👍🏽😃
Living the dream 😊 grandma always said that not all gooses have long necks 😊
You guys got it sussed. What a great way to see OZ. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching! 👍🏽👍🏽
Another vote for the Stone Stomper, we have had one for 5 years, with no damage to van or Landcruiser.
Thats awesome feedback!
Wouldn’t it be more convenient to just have a decent electrical system in the van, with inverter, 12v and USB outlets? Wouldn’t need to be super expensive to be better than carting around the Blueti every time you want to use 240v?
Depending on your budget and how permanent of a set up you are after are contributing factors, we want decent electrical system but don't have the budget right now for one 👍
Great content guys. Really enjoy watching.
Thanks so much Barrie!
We did the dinosaur trail in the late 2000's and Muttaburra was a one horse town back then. My wife was into me about driving all the way from Hughenden to Muttaburra, dirt all the way, on the way to Winton just to see a model Muttaburrasaurus in a park which had the sprinklers on so we couldn't get to it 🤣Looks like they have done it up to be more 'touristy' these days.
Hahaha yes a bit more touristy now 😂😂
I used to have rock tamer’s and they did NOT work I destroyed the front of my new van which was 3 months old I broke all the water pipes under the van the tap broke off the drawbar I was so disappointed I traded the van in on a new van and purchased a stone stomper they were brilliant to deal with and I don’t have one stone scratch or mark on the van I’m so impressed they are the best on the market and every person I’ve spoken to that have them say the same thing best thing since sliced bread 👍🍻🇦🇺
Oh wow can’t believe it did that much damage 😳 we’ve heard great things about Stone Stomper 👍🏽 just bought one actually 😃
Very nice locations. Very luxury van! Sorry to hear about Kunt woman. I have not done camping but I want to get away from those people in the city but they exist in the remote area too,,,,, Hot spring looks nice! You two are nice people!
Yes rude people everywhere unfortunately 😞😞
At least the hot springs relaxed us 🙌🏼
hey guys nice video also a nice place to visit is the glebe weir at Taroom or kens camp at taroom there really nice places if ever you do im from that area and happy to show you around the town.Taroom is where the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt marked his intials in a coolibah tree in 1844 and in 1970 there was a big truck explosion like the one near charlieville half way up the fitzroy development road a truck blew up they made a picnic area there dedicated to them I made a video on it. For a stone guard get Bryce to make a rectangle with shadecloth from sttelor stuff they use on satalite dishes and attach it to the aframenear the bottom attach the shade cloth with zip ties ortac it there with poprivets.
Hey thanks so much mate for all the tips!
We’ve just bought a stone stomper 👍🏽😃
@@CaravanAdventureAus your very welcome
My husband and I did the same trip after I beat cancer
🤩 congrats!
What a awesome area hey!
Guys we love your show and look forward to watching it every week. Can you avoid the Karen bashing.
My wife is a Karen and one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. Karen is the name her mother gave her and it is very hard to see someone be unintentionally emotionally bullied. I know you don’t mean anything by it and I’m sure that woman was not a nice person. However my wife is an amazing woman and I hate seeing her upset over the constant miss use of her birth name.
As I say I know it was not meant to upset but it does.
We hope to keep watching and supporting you guys as we do enjoy your content. All the best and keep up the great work. ❤
A karen is a karen.
its a freaking joke you karen banger.
Get over yourself.💥
LOL...settle down.
couldn't have said it better myself, it is hard having my name associated with nasty people
Stop being so sensitive, geeezz
@@dan00182 up yours Danny boy
I one of them for my Mitsubishi express van, but it probably cost more there my van. The sparse at lighten ridge are really hot. Really nice meals at the rsl in longreach .
Hey thanks for watching and that information 👍🏽😃
Yes the lake is still really low. The tower you filmed coming across the dam wall is normally well in the water.
Unfortunately everywhere in Queensland scumbags will raid Redclaw and crab pots
Oh wow! That’s crazy it’s so low 😳
Good work, we're heading that way in a few weeks so great travel tips.
Glad the video has helped Ross
We are about to install this clothes line on our awning! Thanks for the tip! Now you have had yours installed for a while, have you got any issues with the way you installed it, or any tips for what you might do differently next time? Thanks heaps!!!
@@vvk2021 hey! Thanks for watching.
No it’s worked fine the way it is. We did this awning on our last caravan too 😃😃
Bryce, I think you should create a partition to change it to Pale Ale, yummmmm😊
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@CaravanAdventureAus I was just at the New York Bar and Grill and they had no Pale Ale?
I just bought more mud flaps coupling to size folded them on to my old ones with washers and gutter bolts
Thanks mate for the tip!
We have just done that area as well we may have to do it again but not on a scale board.
😃👍🏽
Well I wouldn’t recommend a stone guard if you don’t have an extended drawbar(???). We’ve dented our car so many times from jack knifing. Just had it fixed and I’ve just seen new damage🤦🏼♀️too scared to tell my husband 😂
That is great feedback! We didn't even think of that so thankyou! 🍻 that's a shame about the dents for sure 😳
Stone stomper all the way, we just did the Oodnadatta track with no issues
Nice! We’ve just got one 👍🏽
The WORST camp neighbours? LOL, not even close. We had a bunch of drunken yobs targeting people at 40 Mile near Karratha that ended up with them throwing rocks at vehicles and us having to get the police out 2 nights in a row until the yobs finally got booted out.
Oh wow 😳😳 yes I’ve heard some horror stories. We’ve stayed at 40 Mile a couple years ago
Never let a Karen upset you. Unfortunately there are a few of them around. Hopefully you never encounter another one so rude. As always another great episode we will be travelling some of this area very soon so great to some good camps.
Thanks so much for watching!
Enjoy your travels 👍🏽😃
put a stone guard on the caravan draw bar and on the bottom place 600mm truck mudflaps
i would show you a picture but cant attach, i sold my stone stompers
Cheers
Thanks mate for the tip!
Heard great things about the stone stompers
100 percent agree, needs mud flaps to the ground below the stone guard, the rocks go under it and smash up the water tanks and anything else not protected. Fit big mud flaps to the ranger too. Stone stompers are a waste of money and by themselves do nothing to protect the underside of the van. A stone guard with big mudflaps will work better and be cheaper.
Wire: every traveler should have some uncoated washing line wire/cable ; not stainless steel . Can be used to tire something up --- bush repair --- can also be untwisted so the finer strands can be used for smaller jobs . Or several fine strands can be twisted together for another job ; like make an animal snare in an emergency .
If you haven't got it you will need it and if have it you will never need it
Dam at Emerald: water flowing over the spillway is an incredible sight/sound and so different to how you saw it . But it can fill very quickly with good rain in the hills behind Springsure . You made me a little "home" sick . Out west from there (over the range) is the Gods' own country ; I loved driving roadtrains through there and up further north
Hey mate! Great tips 👍🏽 appreciate that.
Would be awesome to see when that spillway is in action 🤩
Wrap it! You could get your channel printed on the vinyl aswell 👍
Thanks guys , thanks for showing us around . There’s always Karen who complains. Keep ‘em coming ! 👍👍🍻🍻
Thanks Mark for following along!
Yep too many Karens around hey 🥵
I put a lot of stuff away for when i may need it , the problem is i forget what i have put away .
Haha oh no
Seriously can not believe we have Karen's in Australia while camping. Big thumbs up to the channel.
Hey guys. Loved the show. Can I ask what you do with pup when you do things like skateboard or go into exhibition centres etc. cheers
Hey thanks for watching, he stays in the van 👍
Great video, keep them coming. Luckily the Karen's are few and far between. Imagine travelling with her! Stone Stomper all the way, easy install too.
Yes we’ve been lucky to not experience too many people like her in our travels 🙌🏼
Thanks for posting!
👍🏽
The tree of knowledge is really good of night as well all lights up
Yes I could imagine 🤩
Another great video, enjoyed your info on the dinosaurs etc. we are looking forward to doing that trip sometime soon.
The dinosaur trail is amazing!
You have them time to time Karan’s 🤮😳 don’t worry .
Just keep up with your amazing adventure, you will definitely get one saying something about Juice 🐶 .
I was wondering do you have a camera monitor in the car for the caravan. If you do I haven’t seen it as yet. Take care have a wonderful week.🍷🍷🌈🦘🦋
Thanks for watching!
Yes I’m waiting for someone to complain about Juice even tho he’s a good boy 90% of the time 😂
Hey we have it components for the reverse camera but haven’t set it up just yet. Seems like it will be a big screen which has to sit in the car 🤔
@@CaravanAdventureAus I have the same system, and when I put it in I really don’t like the size on the dashboard, so there must be a way to get around this , someone was saying that you could set it up with the existing screen on the car. But when I pick my ranger up in 8 weeks i will definitely ask the question . 🐶🦋🌈
Loved Lara Wetlands, just the best!
😃😃
Look at some videos on converting the Starlink to 12v. It will work for a lot longer.
Yes for sure!
We would love to give it a go soon
@@CaravanAdventureAus I now use a Cowfish 12 volt Starlink adaptor running into my Teltonika RUT360 4G modem, so much better than the Starfish 240v modem. Unlike most people, mine is set up in my 4WD not my caravan so I get great 4G range and have Starlink with us in case of emergencies even if the caravan is back at camp.
