TOWING OUR CARAVAN THROUGH THE BLOOMFIELD TRACK (we should have read the sign!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Join us on an epic road trip through Far North Queensland! We start at Pinnarendi station stay and cafe, cooking up a mouthwatering Indian curry with The Spice Tailor. Explore Kuranda's markets and take in the beauty of Barron Falls. Then, dive into the pristine Babinda Boulders for a refreshing swim. Finally, hold on tight as we tackle the Bloomfield track with our caravan on the steepest, narrowest roads - up to 31% incline! 🚐🏞️🍛🏊♂️

Drone update 6 months on? Did you get it back yet? GPS tracking?
Oh thanks for checking in! Unfortunately, still in the tree I imagine. So sad!
I'm new to your chanel, but i'm lovin it! love the quirky bits thats fun
Frenchmans track, towing a caravan made me click on it.. I drove this in a lifted gq in September and my first thought was I wonder how they’re going to go getting down to the river and up the other side.. haha smart bailing. You have just earned yourself, a new subscriber. ✌️
Bloomfield is better than the Bruce Highway
Agreed!! We had the best time, sooo beautiful! 😍
Haha you two crack me up 🤣🤣🤣
Another beaut episode🤩 keep ‘em coming
Thanks so much legend!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Another stunning episode, good on you for carrying the shredded spare and not dumping it on the side of the road like some grubs.👍
Good to see Lil back behind the wheel, great confidence booster. I always love my weekly dose of Lil and Jake. 🤩😍🥰
Just catching up on a few episodes. Well that was pretty hectic and all of that before you even get to the Cape. How beautiful is the Daintree ❤️. No rain for 7 months, nice!! Meanwhile here in Melb I haven’t seen any rain for 7 minutes😂. I really wish people wouldn’t put stickers on signs that are important like that one.
Absolutely!!! Can’t believe the 31% road! Sooo crazy. 😅 The Daintree is just stunning, such dense rainforest right next to the beach! It’s amazing. Hahahahah, that’s how we felt living in Tas, especially this time of year. It would 100% be the longest we’ve ever gone without rain! So insane. 🤩
Hey Jake what’s that app you using to check trans temp? I’m guessing you also require an obd adapter. Cheers
Ps just changed my fridge slide to a double locker so that it doesn’t fly out like yours, thanks for the heads up.
Hey mate! It's called torq, and I use the pro version of it with an obd2 Bluetooth adapter. Good call on the slide!
If it is raining, drop one corner post a few inches on the awning. The rain will drain off at that post and not pool, which can damage your awning. Cheers TJ
Ohhh that’s a good tip!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
:)
🤍
Thanks guys, always interesting content travelling with you two. Babinda bakery was recommended to us by locals for great pies and sweet pastries and we agree!
Thankyou! How good are the pies! We love Babinda! ❤️
Another great Saturday morning with your vid dropping in. 3:25 , 12:52 , 27:51 this episode was the epitome of "Lil got no chill" 🤣🤣 You guys gave the Ranger a workout, but I'm surprised how capable it is. Loved this one, as always 🤙🤙
Hahahahah, I definitely have no chill!! 😂 But that’s the best thing don’t you think? Ranger definitely got a workout, as per usual!! We wouldn’t change a thing about it, absolutely love the beast! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Great work again guys. Always lovely to wake up on a Saturday morning and watch the weekly dose of Lil and Jake. Excellent work. Only wish I was out there with you coming up behind you on your little trailer. So glad you made it to the top of the hill wish I was a fly in the caverns all the cars going past you. That would be fun. Just remember Jake any time you go to grab the towel grab the snorkel. If you think that was nice, next time you're down this way I'll show you a paradise.
Cheers gb! Hahaha, maybe we might have to set up a live stream camera for you in the back of the car! Looking forward to it mate! ❤️
Another great episode guys❤ We love Babinda, and corner Cafe does a fantastic $10 breaking 🥓🍳☕️ 😋😋
Isn’t it the cutest little town!! We love it too. 😍 we will have to go and check it out! 🤤
Water bubbler every day of the week. You guys are the awesome expert ambassadors in traveling. You give everything a go and your unfiltered innocents gives you the courage to give it a red hot crack. And lm ordering a hat this arvo ✊✊
Agreed!!! 😂 What’s this fountain business?! Thank you so much, that’s so damn kind!!! Gotta keep it real around here. I just saw your order you absolute legend!!! Thank you a million times over!! We appreciate your support so much. We are heading to a town tomorrow so will send it out to you then. We hope you absolutely love it!! 😍😍😍
Thanks for the entertaining episode once again. We always look forward to Saturday mornings to see what you two have been up to.
Ps water fountain 😂
Oh thankyou so much! We call it a fountain too! Thanks for watching!
Guys you are the best! Honestly!!!!
Keep it up. Love the content
Love your outlook on everything.
Thanks so much!! 🥰 That’s so damn nice nice of you. 🥹🥹🥹
The network marketers with the big van and orange motor bike had no trouble on the Bloomfield, they did use low range
That’s great!!! Glad they made it! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Read the signs 😂😂😂
❤you jake and lil and another great video yes signs should be put up higher so no stickers can be put on take care❤
Awwww!! Thanks so much Dianne! 😍 We absolutely couldn’t agree with you more. Have a fabulous Sunday! 🤩
People putting their stickers on signs has got a bit out of control, makes the place look like crap.
When it’s on a warning sign, I have to agree! 😅😅😅
"She eat's all the chips" and the look on her face. GOLD.
😂😂😂
Your partner or husband is a bit of a ..........
Sexy guy?
Great episode guys. You pay registration, you can tow where you want! 😊. Are you still happy with your blue tongue? We are considering buying one..
Hey Tammy, yea it's actually going pretty well considering what we've put it through recently, it's obviously a cheap van but it's the best pick of the hybrids we think, we also have no affiliation with blue tongue so we can say what we want. The star visions look good but I think they've got too many stickers!
@@lilandjake Thanks for taking the time to reply. We live in FNQ and would like to park ours in our existing garage to keep out of the rain, so options are limited due to height. We just sold our Blue Tongue forward fold camper and had no trouble with chassis and suspension etc. Hybrids all have their pro’s and con’s (including star vision it seems) - now to make a decision 🤔. Love your genuine/down to earth vids and ook forward to each episode 👍👏
That's great to hear! Thankyou s much for watching us, we're glad your enjoying them!
I may have missed it, but what's the app that gives you the extra temps etc??
Hey mate, it's called torq, and you need an obd2 Bluetooth adapter to use it
@@lilandjake off to look that up!
Loved the episode guys. Lil do u have any single friends that want to travel too
Wow thanks for sharing a other fantastic video with me. Very enjoyable watch you both every Saturday night. I’m so glad you both finally got some good luck on your shoulders instead of blowing tyres getting stuck etc . So looking forward to seeing you both next Saturday night for the next episode 😊
Thanks so much Jeremy!! That’s so damn nice. 😍 We are glad too, but you’ll see how our luck changed in a couple of videos time. 😂🥴
Hilarious once again. Thanks so much for the amazing entertainment. Looking forward to your next video!
Thanks so much Jason!! So stoked you’re enjoying watching! ❤️
Just found you. Omg you are funny and so like my hubby and I. You guys did great on that track. We’ve done it 3 times and it’s doable considering you have a tiny van compared to others that tow.
Ohhhh thanks for finding us and following along! 😍 How beautiful is it!! Sooo stunning and beautiful. We’re glad we did it, even with the van on. It wasn’t a struggle except for that small section on the steep incline! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this kind of thing.
Just remember those signs are built for dum asses trying to tow 40ft vans on those tracks.
Don’t worry always doing something crazy!! 😂😂😂 You’re right though, definitely for the monster vans. 🥴
Laurel and hardy ..hit the road 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
If only I knew who Laurel and Hardy were! 😂 I’ll take that as a compliment regardless! 😂😍
Funniest couple on the planet, so ENJOY *****...
You guys are hysterical to watch 😅. It's like watching two comedians travelling Australia. I remember doing some of that track in the 80's as one of 5 kids in a Toyota Tarago going through water crossings, eating coconuts fallen from the trees overlooking the beach. The tropical rain forest is beautiful.
Ohhhh thanks a million!! Hahahah, glad we could bring a little bit of laughter and silly into your day. That sounds like such an epic memory in such an incredible place. Can’t wait to go back already! 😍

How does the Ranger and Hilux square off for comparison?
I’m unsure, but we absolutely love our Ranger!! 👌🏼
It’s a Bubba
Hahaha, 🥹🥹🥹
Hi guys, What was that engine diagnostic app you were using? No doubt it’s wireless to a connecter on the truck. 😮
Hey! The app is called torq, and we use the pro version of it, works a treat! Thanks for watching!
You can definitely tow anywhere……whether the caravan follows is a different story
Lucky we made it!! 😂😂😂
Looks amazing
It was such a stunning drive!! 👌🏼
I get anxiety watching you two ngl. Very entertaining.
So glad!!! 😂😂😂
No doubt about it. We live in the best country on the planet ❤😊
We are sooo damn lucky aren’t we!!! Absolutely love Australia! 😍
you can tow the van on the Bloomfield just not recommended you are going well good luck.
Ahhh!! Good to know. Yeah it wasn’t ideal. 😂😂😂
Ahhh!! Good to know. Yeah it wasn’t ideal. 😂😂😂
What style akubra is it that Lil is wearing
It’s a Coober Pedy!! Absolutely love it. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
5 minutes online research would have told you all about caravans and the Bloomfield Track.
Shame we don’t always have reception… should be able to rely on signs but as you can see, this one is COVERED in stickers. Hope you’re having a great weekend!!
awsome vid guys
Cheers Craig!! 😍
Why does this channel come across more of an impatient father with an exited daughter than a couple ..... still love the content ..... just a bit different at times 😅
Totally bizarre watching. Think I won’t.
Lol, we are from Tasmania!
Sorry guys but my thoughts are that towing a van up the Bloomfield is nearly as irresponsible as hooning on a beach with 4wds and mororbikes
Thanks for your thoughts! I think having a warning sign that is covered with stickers is irresponsible… 🤷🏼♀️ Have a fabulous day!
Great vid again guys, but yes there’s more than one advice sign of no vans, and for good reason. More chips!😂
Such a good episode, I love this part of Aus
We now do too!! It’s so beautiful. 😍😍😍
Great Episode 🦘🌸🐊
I was wondering if you had a lockbox underneath your van you don’t have to worry about loosing your keys of the van and car Or like me I have a spare car key and van . And if one of you are not around with the keys the other one can just open the the lockbox .🦘🦘🦋🍷🍷🦋🦘🦘
Have a wonderful week
Thanks so much!!! That’s a good idea. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Hope you too have having a fabulous week!! 🥰🥰🥰
That's a beaut guys. 36 minutes of fun and what a place. Swimming in that fresh clear water looks amazing. I think with the amount of bogs you've got out of you're definitely well on the way to being called experienced travelers. And no fuss taking a caravan where it's not recommended. (You didn't know) 😃😄😁 So fun !
Thanks Sammy! I don't know Wether we would call ourselves that though hahaha, thanks for watching, always look forward to hearing from you!
