In this video we'll show you how it's done starting in Normanton and finishing our trip at the EPIC wilderness property called Lorella Springs in the Territory!

Thanks guys, great video! Do love going back and rewatching the older content!!!
It’s amazing to see how much of the country you used to do with an on road van before you started using the bigger off road kit.
Thanks once again for continuing to create such positive, inspirational content.
Love watching you guys. We hope to buy a van in a couple of years before setting off on a continuous lap of our great country when we retire. Your little ones are adorable and we hope we have grandchildren as cute as your kids one day. Thanks for the inspiration.
vickie pascoe thankyou, what a lovely message! Safe travels and thankyou for the support ✌️
You both do a great job. You keep it real. I took my kids on trips across the Simpson and hay river tracks. There all a lot older now but still rave about how great it was. Better than the trips to the USA and Japan etc. Enjoy your travels as time goes fast.
Very friendly turbo chook lol . . . enjoying your videos . . . thanks for sharing your holiday with us.

Bilal Saleem thanks a lot mate, we enjoy it👍
Had a laugh when the tow chain hit the camera, hope it survived. Great to see places that never been to or heard of. Gee I was surprised the height the drone gets to. Well done guys, throughly enjoyed this one.
TheRaimo 😂😂yep definitely forgot about the tow chains, but yeah it survived!!! GoPro are tuff as nails✌️
Great stuff mate. Glad you fixed that audio I originally thought it was our device lol. Love the vids.
Beau Allen I can’t believe it’s been up for so long and I never knew the audio was stuffed!! It must have been a glitch in the upload because my file was all sweet💪
Hi Guys, loving your videos, My wife Tania, I and our dog Shandy are heading off in late March 2020 (only a few weeks now) and I must say that we have watched a lot of your videos that have been great from a hands on perspective. We live in South Australia and our plans are to head up the middle then back down the W.A coast, getting back home....maybe christmas time but who knows. Love your work Justin & Bec, Take care Anton & Tania
Awesome vid. Thanks for showing this great adventure
Hey guys love your channel and content. Where you camped on the Albert river in Burketown was exactly where we camped on our trip.We couldnt believe it, so funny!! Love it!
Awsome watching where you guys are going . some of the places we have been to and want to go back to again and thanks for some of the ideas, especially the drone fishing. Like you we have to forgo taking the boat, so we have been thinking of the drone fishing for sometime now . Keep the vids comming and enjoy Regards Uncle Fester
Dean Campbell cheers guys , safe travels
Love following your trip. Such beautiful scenery. The van has travelled well. Have fun and keep safe
Love it guys! As always we are so jelous 👍🍻
Stephen Greene thanks for the support mate 🤙🤙
Go the Solaris - love mine ! ... great video, super jealous
I was there in 2013.... that butcher was awesome..... we stayed the north side of bourketown on the Nicholson river..... before we got there, we did 5 days at Lorella springs... need to go back. G.
Gleno D awesome butcher and how good is lorella🤘
@@TripInAVan its changed a bit since i was there last... more opened up i am told....we travelled from the homestead there at the gate to the rosie creek, 90 kms away and did some fishing.. there was a "pet" groper hanging around eating all the fish remnants... some other guys camped near us named him Big Tony...he was about 6 foot long... massive!!
Thanks for inspiring us.
That Albert river camp ground was awesome 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Awesome video you guys amazing locations amazing caravan amazing tow rig just amazing!
Mason U cheers mate

Great video mate.
Awesome
Justin, I never knew that Bec was such a big chicken when it comes to Emus?
Hi Guys, Is a bull bar a must? Enjoy you time with your young growing family as it never happens again. Really like your videos. Mark
joe not a must, bet definitely good protection and houses the winch 💪
Just discovered this. Really good content.
My goodness sister, you had them 1-2-3 then? That is tiring! The children seem happy and well mannered. :) I've travelled a lot pulling a 5th wheel but not 500 miles of gravel. You lot are troopers ! Have a great time will ya? That steering wheel is opposite of mine. I suppose you get used to it?
Khadijah Brown thanks mate, yeah it was a busy few years but they are all so close✌️
I love Autralia
Hi good show
Cheers
You’ve really sparked interest in getting a small fold out tent trailer thing, is that a good way to start you think?
Brian Debert Golf - AUSTRALIA definitely a good start mate. We had a soft floor camper before our first van. They are great for camping, but for full time travel a caravan is a must in our opinion 💪
Great stuff. Just got back from the NT myself. 2 Tilt Tray trips, one for the car (suspected blown turbo) and one for the caravan (hitch broke DO35 same as yours) Hey! no issues with flying the drone in National Parks???? I saw so many signs saying 'No Drone Zone' We have a similar van to yours (22'6" Bailey on roader) good to see you don't need the 3.5 ton "off-roader" that costs a packet
John Hunt hope your back on the road soon mate🤙🤙
How did the hitch break? I thought they were the bees knees. Now thats a worry.
Loving your vlogs. Hubby and I will be starting these trips hopefully this time next year .. Yes we have grey hair but no way will I want to be labelled this as they way they take up all the best spots for a long time lol. Hey Jack I hope the 🦷 🧚♀️ gave you money for your first tooth. So looking forward to this we have dreamed about doing this all of our lives. Come on Retirement finally going to be living the dream
Christine Matias good stuff mate, safe travels and we might seeya out here🤘
I want to see more footage of you all enjoying your time at your destination. Do you have a clip of that?
Great trip guys. I love watching your little adventures. What time of year were you doing that trip? Can you put that in your description? Keep up the great work. Love your lifestyle.
craig wilson thanks mate. This was July/August last year🤘
Talking about grog. Is there any stipulation about carry grog in the NT. We found up at the Cape each car is limited to a small amount of grog.
Christine Matias not really sure actually... I didn’t see any signs that limited your amount..
Great work guys well done.
max cole thanks mate
Great vid.... Where did your Willow Rig go? That looks like the old Solaris??
Red Wazzies this is an older vid😎 Still got the Willow
watch out for the bush chock
Great journey
Lovely family..
Lots a love from Pakistan❤❤
Hi. Love your videos. Very jealous I didn't do this with my kids. Anyway we are retiring soon and have the Van on order. You keep saying to let your tyres down on rough roads. I assume its car and van you are talking about. How low do you go? Also what pump do you use to reinflate them? And how long does it take to pump 8 tyres back up to bitumen pressures? This is all a bit new to me so sorry if this is a stupid question.
Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoy the videos. So dropping your tyres is essential for a softer ride on your van and also its better for your tyres. On sharp gravel or rocky toads we take all tyres to around 26psi. And then for soft sandy tracks we take all tyres to 16psi. It takes around 15-20 minutes to reinflate all tyres to road pressures and we use an ARB air compressor. Hope this helps.
@@TripInAVan That was quick. Thanks for the reply. I will get an arb compressor and follow your suggestions. We have done Fraser Island many times and dropped pressures to 15 to 20 psi but not towing so wasn't sure if tyre pressures of car and van were similar
Just found you guys. Really really awesome! Cheats from Canada.
Cliff and Howie hey guys thanks for watching!! We lived and worked in Canada for a year in 2010. Loved it💪
Our setup is very similar, a ranger with an arb canopy and a Semi off-road caravan and we plan to go for 2.5 years around oz with the 3 kids. Looking back, Any tips you can give on your old setup, was it more capable than you expected?
Jason Justice definitely capable but also definitely held us back a lot as well! Full Offroad suspension has been a game changer and having the canopy enables us to head to so many more spots that you can’t get any caravan✌️
Travel all over the country side....da da da de dada
Hi guy awesome video. Looks like you guys are towing a different caravan what happened. Or did you have something done to it
Adventures Rus this is a vid from a trip we did last year. So yep we had a different van then🤘

Apologises to everyone who has tried to log on to our website lately, we have had some technical issues with it, but it should be up and running again today or tomorrow. If you want to place an order, please FB msg or call us. 0423 299 883. Sorry for any inconvenience. The Aussie Outdoor Mates team.
An other great footage of your trip. Just wondering how's the bt 50 holding up? We have a 2015 bt 50 and we only use it for towing our van (cell caravan) done 40,000ks and changed a rear main seal under warranty but otherwise hasn't missed a beat but have spoken to people on our trips and they have had issues with the bt 50. Whats your thoughts?
you guys are brave with the crocs, there must be signage everwhere?
Strages yeah signs everywhere. And just stay back from the water😬
What's the drone you use? Myself the wife and kids love watching your travels.
Nathan Stevens cheers mate. We use a mavic 2
HaHa i didnt read the notes here and thought this was a current trip video , was thinking you guys must travel hard going from exmouth all that way in such a short time . face palm
Boomer Mcgee haha, yeah she’s from last year! Epic trip hey
hello how are you , what about petrol , any problems with that , easy to find a petrol station around ?
Nice car!
How’s your solar panel installation?
Thought i had seen this one before, where are you guys now
George Clydsdale on our way to Broome 💪
I see you have the bullbar and winch. Have you had to use either yet? I have a discovery 4 and a 22.68 bunk caravan, we are planning the trip now to leave in jan and unsure how important the winch is?
Luke P we have used the winch a few times mate. Definitely handy to have one fitted but not essential
@@TripInAVan thanks mate, what about the bullbar itself?
Luke P great protection. There is lots of wildlife on the roads . But again not essential, just don’t do any driving dawn or dusk/night to limit your chances of hitting something✌️
amazing following your adventures as always. where are you guys from originally?
Albert Kelly cheers man, we left from Newcastle, but grew up near Brisbane & Bec is from Warrnambool
@@TripInAVan qlder meets vic in newy. the chief would be proud :)
is a mat always on the floor is yours, sure to keep the caravan clean?
I'm curious, do you guys ever come across any Ozzy creatures in the van? Like when you are in the outback or anything?
Heartbreak hotel my old local yep and it is expensive
I have been noticing the dirt roads. What happens when it rains?
I watch your videos and I live in Karumba yous should’ve come up
The road is like Thailand
Awesome vids guys! How much do we need to spend on an equivalent drone ?
Cheers. Ken
VeGa we used a mavic air in this vid. About $1500
A no brainer wth tat quality footage 🤙
Cheers guys
Great trip, I’m up that way at the moment so might try a few of those places. What tyre pressure did you have on car and van?
MitchMiller123 can’t remember exactly mate, but prob 22psi all round. It was rough
What is the range of your bt50
Tim C bout 400km towing
did you get dust in the van
yep!! hard to keep the stuff out
what type of done you are using
1chrisandangie in this it was a mavic air
Any video from you folks is a good video 🤗. Does your van have ESC? Getting a new van in a few months and the seller is recommending we get if fitted. Keep up the great work and stay safe! Are you heading as far north as Wyndham?
Mark Gardiner cheers mate!! Our new van doesn’t have ESC no.. It is a great option though for safety. We will be heading through Kununurra, maybe Wyndham
I lived in Wyndham for 2 years between 96 to 98. Used to fish the King River for Barras on the neap tides using live mullet. Aside from Salties lurking, the sandflies were really bad and you had to use heaps of bushmans and cover up to stop them getting you. Some big Barras there though. Had to laugh at Bec crapping herself when that Emu stole her plate of food lol in the video lol.
👍
I missed something. What's happening to your beautiful Willow RV? Hopefully nothing to bad ...
Smart D'sign Embroidery all good, this is from a trip we did last year💪
@@TripInAVan Ah ... ok. (Y) My husband couldn't believe where you took that onroad van through :-D .... We are in the middle of planning our big adventure. Exciting.
Sorry, forgot to add: we are addicted to your videos. Awesome footage and such a lovely family. Keep going and save travels. (Y)
20 psI for the dirt road?
Don yeah mate between 20-25
Am I dreamin or are u guys in a different van?
TechStories79 😂😂this is a vid from a trip we did last year✌️ We had a different van then yep
Was just thinking, what happened to the Norweld Canopy?
Then read the vid info saying it's from last year.
Peter Bott 😂😂 no way I’d be going back to a tub side
Dubai, Qatar, Ssudi Arabia 是挖什么的 ？？？
