    We love to be able stay in a caravan park and to be able to walk to pubs, shops and the water as well. Love bush camping too so nice to have the best of both worlds.
    PS - I really enjoy your channel. Thankyou for sharing your tips. Very helpful

    Best thing I remember camping at Brunswick Heads is kayaking up Marshalls and Simpson Creeks north and south of the river.

    The wife and I have a home base, but even when we are doing a big trip / big lap, we enjoy stopping at a caravan park in a larger town for a couple of weeks to reset and recuperate. We think of it as a holiday from our endless holiday 😊

    I was only thinking of you two yesterday and checked out your Channel to see if I had missed something as I was wondering where you currently were. Nice to see you , and yes I agree with all of your info. We have been stuck with not being able to get a suitable Tenant for our place but just in the last few days have realised a family member can come and stay at our place for a few months so we are going to be able to hit the road again in 4 weeks. Hopefully to do a 5 - 6 month trip to the NT. Our rest has been way too long LOL

    Excellent overview of the reality of life on the road full time. Thank you. After 40 years of work, I dreamt of extensive travel in my van around Australia. Unfortunately, my wife believes that one month is the limit for any travels. She loves being home with access to family and friends. I was hoping for around 9 months on the road per year. I'll be lucky to get two or maybe three. So much for "retirement dreams". Best wishes to you both. I'm truly envious.

    Great advice as always. We’re in our 50s and collect our van in August. I have MS so we will have to do things a bit slower and like how you’re suggesting. My mum lives there at New Brighton on the beach and Ocean Shores is where she golfs most days. Hope you’ve walked that New Brighton beach, it’s so beautiful. You’re in a great spot in the world. Love the Brunswick pub for a meal. If you’re still in the area, there’s 2 Russian girls with a pop up food van in Mullum. Their food is amazing!! 🙏

    • @beyondthegreyoz
      @beyondthegreyoz  8 місяців тому +1

      Thank you 😊 yes we are still here, until mid April, we have 2 weeks in Mullum the week after next. We are walking on the New Brighton beach in this video 😉 yes it’s a great area.
      That’s great about the van, maybe we’ll cross paths on out travels

    We're in the second half of our seventies and have the good fortune to have retired to Cairns. We're off very soon in our caravan for a couple of months in the outback and I know we'll love it but also love getting home. We just take things slowly to suit us, we couldn't do it full time for various reasons including health. We've left it pretty late in life to do our caravanning, but that's OK.
    By the way, your new Rode mikes are great, good to see an Aussie company producing excellent gear with a worldwide reputation. Try their NT100 headphones, they are great too.

    • @beyondthegreyoz
      @beyondthegreyoz  8 місяців тому +1

      Thanks 😊 appreciate the feedback on the microphones. Cairns is a great spot to be based. We did so much from there, cape York, Karumba, cape tribulation and so much more. Wouldn’t be surprised if we ended up in Cairns 😆 But yeah we reckon the key is to do it at your own pace

    That was a great episode.. we love your content..how long can you stay in a park like this one? Is there a limit to the length of time you can stay in all parks or is it different from park to park? Thank you both for what you do ❤

    • @beyondthegreyoz
      @beyondthegreyoz  8 місяців тому +1

      Thank you 😊 Generally parks don’t like you to stay more than 28 days in case you decide to stay permanently. Apparently it’s harder to evict someone after 28 days. But often they’ll let you stay longer if they get to know you

    Thanks for the video, my wife and I are coming up for retirement soon and are planning on doing some long trips and the information you provide is great. But my question to you is what do you do to avoid getting on one another's nerves being together in confined spaces for lengthy periods of time? Look forward to your response regards Glenn

    • @beyondthegreyoz
      @beyondthegreyoz  8 місяців тому +2

      Sounds great 👍 traveling is a lot of fun. We seem to get along pretty well in the confined space. We both enjoy a lot of the same things but also go and do things independently. It’s even easier when we have the annex up as it gives one of us another space to be in.
      Might talk about that in another video 😉
