    Great video, & it’s nice to see normal children having fun in the sun & sand without all the expensive toys. Your doing a good job with them. Stay safe & happy.

      Have a video dropping this week on the gear we used at Moreton while offgrid, did the editing couple of weeks ago and wasn't going to release it, but I thought it might be helpful. Then off on a little adventure with a different this weekend, so stay tuned for that 😉

    Camping beats any resort anytime. Always love watching your vids, no fancy graphics and home style family holiday video. I prefer these style of videos.
    I'm also learning something new here. I think I can adopt something similar to your ensuite setup on our camper. 👍🏽
    Nice to see your kids enjoy their camping trip too and just having fun. Makes any trip enjoyable when everyone is enjoying.
    Moreton Island seems like a nice spot to visit and doesn't look too crowded too. By the way, are there any resort in the island? 😉

  • @andrewbeattie6325
    @andrewbeattie6325 Рік тому

    Great vid as per usual. Kids are having a great life! I keep coming back to your videos because I get a lot of inspiration from your mint GQ. I have a 89 V6 Pajero which I have owned for 20 years and am debating whether or not to take it around the country in 3 years time towing a 75 Viscount. I convince myself its the right decision when I watch your videos!

    • @GoingOverland
      @GoingOverland  Рік тому

      Yeah Mate as long as it's reliable and you know how to fix the little things, go for it. And with the money you save on buying a newer vehicle, if the old pajero has a little issue you'll still be thousands in front.
      I'm sure our old patrol will outlast a lot of newer vehicles, and everything can be rebuilt on it, not just replaced. 👍

    Merry Christmas and happy new year guys. Great drone shots. Love Morton too. We’ve stayed at Tangalooma before and camped on the island there twice. Camping beat the resort by miles. Expensive to get there though. Don’t even like motels but sometimes it’s easier. I hope Larissa improves quickly.

    • @GoingOverland

    Drove past your camp on Moreton that week (staying in a shack at Bulwer). Once the wind died down that period was epic. That side is so good with kids and a welcome break from the norm. Much better than a crowded resort

    You probably already know this but retrieval using reverse can result in damage to your drivetrain (I'm told).
    Reverse gear isn't made as strong as the forward gears and can break with relatively little strain.
    Anyway, that's the word on the tracks.
    Haven't tried it myself.
    Happy new year you lot!
    Looking forward to seeing more adventures!

    • @LandySmurf
      @LandySmurf Рік тому +1

      This is true. It is to do with the way the gears are cut(teeth).

    • @GoingOverland
      @GoingOverland  Рік тому +2

      Very true, but I it was either reverse or use the tow ball which is just dangerous, so easy reverse pull was OK.
      The Gq patrol has some big diffs and drive train too, never broken anything yet, but it's probably only a matter of time 🤣

    • @GoingOverland

      Thanks Mate, if I had to pick 1 of the sand islands in south east Queensland, it would definitely be Moreton. Larissa is on the mend now but it's crazy how long it's taken.

      Larissa is doing OK now, but it's taken a long time, and it's just not the same without having her with us.
      The kayak is a inflatable one from anaconda. They don't sell this particular one any more but there are similar ones. Cost only $250 and had it for over 4 years now.

      Yeah I think these new masks are so much better than the traditional style. Didn't leak, you can actually talk under water ant the top of the snorkel closes off when you dive down and stops water entering mask. I would definitely buy it again
