Don't camp under gum trees. The "limbs" big branches can break off and could seriously hurt or kill you. Don't want one of them heavy big branches landing on you.
Stick with it guys. The rewards are worth it and you'll pick it up pretty quickly. 1. Generally unpowered coming is in an area rather than in specific sites, but if your unsure just ask someone. Main etiquette is to give other campers space, don't pro right next to them. 2. Keep the top of the windows open to let rising condensation out. 3. Go to KMart or somewhere and buy yourself a 12V electric blanket. They're generally not designed to go under you, so put it between you and the over blanket. Your power set-up will handle it no problems. 4. Australians love to share. Check out how people around you are set up and then have a chat with them. They'll be more than happy to provide advice, some of it will be useful.
Thank you SO much!! We’re taking as much information in as possible, and learning a lot as we go! One day we’ll be professional… 😂 Thank you for the support! 😊
@@JamesandJosieTravel Yes I love too visit soon and I want to hike to Waterloo Bay but you need to camp overnight . You have to fill out forms and put it in a special box and if you haven’t returned by a certain time , they will look for you . Another great spot you might have missed was Croajingalong National Park . It has sand dunes , forests , beaches cliff and is less visited . It is next to Mallacoota town , in Victoria but near the border of NSW . There is also Nadgee nature reserve .Wagonga inlet near Narooma is beautiful . Sometimes it is turquoise in colour , sometimes it is Emerald and sometime silver on an overcast day . I hope you will get sone better weather for camping .
When it gets to a certain temp, condensation is unavoidable. I'm in Alice Springs at the moment and its regularly 0c and even with windows and doors open I get condensation in my OzTent. The tarp over the top doesn't work either.
We're having to dry our tent every morning at the moment! The only times we have avoided condensation are when it's windy... Also tried the tarp trick but hasn't worked for us either!! How long are you travelling for?!
@@JamesandJosieTravel we've been on the road for almost 7 months. No specific end date in mind, we will just pull up somewhere when we find somewhere nice to stay for a while. As long as we can find work as we go, we just keep on exploring.
@@JamesandJosieTravel It all comes down to the type of sand on the beach, which makes a sound when it is squashed together underfoot. This sand is made from grains of white quartz - very round particles all roughly the same size. In scientific terms, they are crystals of silicon dioxide, which is actually used to make glass.
@@JamesandJosieTravel On some beaches around the world, dry sand makes a singing, squeaking, whistling, or screaming sound if a person scuffs or shuffles their feet with sufficient force. The phenomenon is not completely understood scientifically, but it has been found that quartz sand does this if the grains are highly spherical.
If you have any camping tips, please let us know!🏕

Okay - noted. Thank you!

I was in Wilson’s Promontory back in 2003 It was winter , cold but not windy . I just loved it there .
It’s truly amazing. It had been recommended to us a lot, so we had to visit! We were NOT disappointed.. Do you think you’ll visit again soon?! 😁

I hope you're able to! We visited Mallacoota, but must've missed the national park - what a shame!
You guys look like characters out of Wallis and Grommet with the filters 😂
We LOVE the filters... but this has just made them even funnier! 🤣

7 months?! Wow. That sounds great! Have you had a favourite place??? 😁
Sand squeaks because of silicon. Thats how you know if there's any silicon in the sand.
Ummm is this true?!! 👀
