Some gnarly towing but, the sea food is worth it.

  • Hey everyone welcome back to another adventure with our family.
    Whites Bay, a beautiful place with a hard road to tow a big caravan over.
    Atleast it's a short stint up and over the hill and if you go early or late, chances are the road will be pretty quiet.
    There are so many beautiful things to see and do over the hill though so it's worth it.
    We enjoy sea food we collect ourselves, We dive and swim at Robin Hood bay and the kids freak me out with their big Rock Jumping skills, jumping between the rocks.
    Hope you enjoy this episode.
    A few people have asked about this song. - right where i belong. I pay a subscription for my music through music bed.

      Hey mate big question we've got a video way back of how we planned it all, you might need to go back a couple of years I think it's called how we plan to pay for full time travel... I'm thinking out a video with my ideas for how anyone could do it, we've talked to a lot of people on the rd and everyone does it different... but you need to make a plan, make dome sacrifices, set a date... for us it took 3 years to get on the road
