Kiaora folks, found your site again. Safe travels, from the Northern Beaches, to Vic, SA, and beyond. O.o Be very mindful, that you are traveling in summer, and fire bans can be in play in different council areas. Fines can be huge so be very aware, and if in doubt? Don't start a fire. Black cockatoos is what Max seen, there are different species of said cockies, look at the colour of the crest on their head to identify them. Snakes aren't really an issue, as you can see them clearly, but scorpians are another thing to look out for as you go south/southwest. Small and hardly noticable at night. Mainly on the ground. Always shake your footwear out before putting them on, if you leave them outside. Take care, stay safe. Merry Christmas, enjoy your chockies.
@@Lex-Hawthorn hello to you, hope you are having a great and safe summer back in the NB! ☀️ Yes, we are very much checking the bans, they change in each spot we travel to! Sooo much wildlife here, we have seen plenty of snakes so far… including browns and red bellies. Max isn’t loving that… haha, but no scorpions yet, we will keep our eyes peeled, thanks for the tip! 👀 catch you in 2025!
@@neilmitchelhill9388 always a pleasure to meet people out and about who share the love of the outdoors - ps, I remember you, how good is Diamond Head? thanks for following along 🏕️
That's it just do what is the best for your mental health and stay safe, Australia is getting very expensive even for camp life, stay true and love yous 🍻🍻
It's great that you gave it a red hot go! I think full time travelling would be great, but going away for weekends etc in a really capable 4wd is more enjoyable. I feel like full time would almost desensitise the appreciation of the experience. Looking forward to seeing the adeventures you both go on!
Thank you!! We still love the idea of full time travel however, just like you’ve also mentioned, you could easily become desensitised by the whole experience. Now that we have a base, we are super excited to spend as many weekends as we can exploring new areas! Can’t wait to bring you along for the ride!
Thanks for sharing that. Have enjoyed your videos and certainly you will share more one way or another. Is that a Bellman stove top coffee maker? I’d be interested to know what you think of it as I’d love one for my travels but have been told that they can be dangerous. Not sure if that’s right though. Here’s, Andy.
Absolutely! We will have another one in the works while we head away over the new year period into kosciuszko! ⛰️ We honestly couldn’t cope without the Bellman if it was taken away from us… easily the best coffee and closest you’ll get to a barista one while on the road! The only way they could be deemed as dangerous is due to them building pressure inside of them (but that’s how they work). They say to just keep an eye on the pressure gauge and not leave it unattended for a longer period of time 🙌

Met you (Andy) at Diamond Head a couple of months ago (I had the Sandy Taupe Troopy with the Headspace conversion), enjoyed this video so thank you
