Hey Sue & Nigel.....So glad you took the long way back from Wineglass Bay as it is such a chilled walk and ever so scenic. Well done. Good to see you became a couple of 'Dora Explorers' out at Binalong Bay too. Thanks for the great video. 😃👍
Cheers mate! I’ve just been editing the footage for the next video, you know the one. I’m laughing so much!
Hi guys, just another alternative to testing the vehicle for levelness - we keep a golf ball in a drawer and when we pick a spot, place the ball on the bench and see how it rolls. Hopefully it doesn't. Works a treat! :) Give it a go. Also for the windy times, try a couple anti-flappers on your awning. Goodonya guys!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Hey good idea. We've got a golf ball hiding in the tool drawer! (from our Nullarbor Golf experience)
Tasmania’s East Coast has some of the best scenery in the whole state! And how about those free camps?
Looked so relaxing on Milllionaires Row, perfect spot to chill and watch the world go by! Hope that key fob dries out, how many times do yiu see folks leave their wallets in their back pockets and take a dip, then hear expletives for the next 5 mins lol, yep happens more times than you would reckon!! Lovely episode, l envy you guys being able to do your long hikes. Thank you for taking all of us along these stunning tracks.
Thanks so much Lee! Fortunately the key worked fine the next day. My son went for a swim with his phone in his pocket a few years ago, and that definitely wasn’t waterproof! The rice didn’t work with that one
I would be that happy too Sue, what a gorgeous park up! 😍💛
It was so good! Wish we had those all the time, but I guess then they wouldn't be so special.
Nice bit of video trickery there. You talking in the foreground and Nigel doing a time lapse pack up in the background. Really loving the coastline. That sunrise was awesome. Some cracker scenery. I notice though I’m not getting any fitter watching you doing all this hiking! 😂🤗
haha, I would have thought we would all be fit and svelte now, but no... sad face...
@@nigelandsueadventures 🙁 I’ll keep watching. You never know. 🤣
sorry Lynne, I thought I had replied to this comment ages ago! And yes, I hope it works haha @@LynneCarey
@@nigelandsueadventures haha no stress. I wasn’t concerned. You have a lot going on. 🤗
Hi once again Tasmania is so beautiful and full of surprises, thanks for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for being along for the journey each week 🧡
Excellent vlog, terrific scenery and joyful commentary, great work guys, makes for great viewing for us couch potato’s, cheers from Downunder ❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
Thanks Steven! Glad you enjoyed the view from the couch!
Another amazing video N Nigel and Sue thank you for sharing, I loved the great footage, could relate to Doo-Town s we have been there, the Tesselated pavers are amazing but I wm with Sue those tree growing as they are are just a wonder of nature, and the Nigel dive Well !!! Loved the Frank Walker impresses ion Nigel, you did so well and you cannot take the NZ out of Nigel with his Fish and chops. Great viewing so enjoyable. Safe travels Coen and Jay
Glad you enjoyed it Jay and Coen, this was definitely one of our favourite parts of Tassie. I wonder how often one of those trees falls?
Not too often I hope Sue, they deserve to survive growing where they are. Safe travels@@nigelandsueadventures
What a fabulous park up, bet you didn’t want to leave!
It was amazing! But of course, someone waiting to get into the spot as soon as we did!
Been to tassie atleast 8 times. My favourite state in Australia. Cannot wait to go back next year.
Its amazing isn't it? We thought 6 weeks would be plenty of time there, but NO WAY! Next time we will go for 6 months.
We got caught out a few times with Google maps in Tassie. And we were in a rental that didn’t allow driving on dirt roads 🤭
Loving your videos in Tassie. It’s one of my favourite places.
They really need to have a filter for dirt roads don't they?
Oh bugger, hope the key fob's okay?? Loved seeing the Tassie beaches tho, just stunning!!!
Lucky for Nigel it was fine the next day. (And still fine now about 6 weeks later!) thanks for watching Kit!
It's hard to see a Tassie devil in the wild. Especially since devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) has killed off so many of them. However, on my third trip there in 2022, we happened to be driving back to the wonderful Walheim cabins within Cradle Mountain National Park when we saw one on the side of the road (outside the park). It was about 9pm. It had DFTD. I got a few photos of it through the car windscreen before it ambled off into the thick bush.
We really thought we would see one in the Tarkine, where the DFTD hasn't taken hold yet, but alas, no. Maybe because Nigel was sick and we didn't really go outside at dusk. Lost opportunity.
ahhaa Frank Walker tiles.
A little inside Joke for our Aussie viewers.
Hi guys, we have been following your journey for a while now and are really loving it. We live in the Townsville region and no how hot it can get. We are starting our own van build at the end of the year and are very interested in what you think about the insulation you used eg. would you change anything about the materials or methods you used and the fact that you don’t have an aircon has really intrigued us. We can’t imagine with the heat we suffer up here in the north that you won’t need a aircon. On the flip side of that we are very keen to hit the cold. Thanks Steven & Hazel.
Hey Steven and Hazel, thanks so much for watching. The thing with insulation in a van is it’s great for cold weather. For hot weather ventilation is much more important. The worst night we ever had in the van was in Townsville in late February!! We tried to be north in winter and south in summer but that hasn’t always worked. We would need a huge battery bank to run an aircon off grid. So I guess it depends if you’re planning on being off grid or staying in caravan parks. We try to avoid them!
@@nigelandsueadventures Hey guys thanks so much for the good advise and for getting back to us so quickly. All the best Steven and Hazel.
Hello sue and Nigel. Just found your vids and have subscribed.. we are on the west coast of Tassie for a year and are about to look at sprinter van.. quick questions are they reliable and is there any issues you have discovered owing one for sometime now. Kind regards Pierre and Deb
Hi Pierre and Deb, we have found our sprinter to be very reliable. No issues with our model. It’s a diesel engine commercial vehicle, so built to travel many hundreds of thousand kms.
I've recently read the rice thing doesn't work, WD-40 it best bet I think because of the salt water. I have a BMW with only one functioning diamond key the dealer wants so much like 300 bucks US.. thanks for reminding me I need to figure mine out
We actually rinsed it in fresh water when we got back to the van. It was working fine the next day thank goodness. Yeah it’s a ridiculous amount of money!
Never ever trust google maps. Always plan ahead and use it for traffic areas only in my experience.
they really need to have a filter for dirt roads!
🤪 Promo-SM
Ahh google maps...there are incidences where people blindly follow the road into the ocean or off a cliff 😅
Jeepers!! That would not be good!
@nigelandsueadventures comical....are you going to the Tassie devil Sanctuary I think from memory it's really the only place you will see them unfortunately
@@keepingupwiththejoneses06 we are holding out in the hope that we will see one in the wild. Sadly we have seen one, but it was dead on the side of the road. 😞
@@nigelandsueadventures 😢 keeping my fingers crossed for you

no thanks
@@nigelandsueadventuresOk thanks for letting me know. But I think that to get millions of views on your videos and get lots of subscriber. Your videos need to be properly optimized and SEO. Also need to promote since your channel is small. That will help you get more views on your videos and subscribers to your channel. As a result, you can earn a good amount every month from UA-cam. However, I hope you will consider the issues.
