- In this episode, we visit the town of Lethbridge in Victoria, and free camp at the near-by Bunjil's Lookout.
We learned that the Lookout is popular for people to free camp (if they are self-contained) if you are traveling on the Spirit of Tasmania, as it’s only 20 minutes from Geelong with toilets available nearby.
We enjoy part-time van life (and now also camping with our Jimny), creating weekly episodes that are live at 5pm (AEST) on Sundays, and sharing our experiences on our travels with our cavoodle, Twyla. In our episodes we stay at free and paid campsites, showing our tips and tricks for making life on the road easier and more fun. Come join us on our adventures! If you’re into RVs, camper vans, caravans, swags, vans, a tent, and Jimny camping, our UA-cam channel is for you!

Great episode guys. Love all the episodes that you post every week. After watching the Lancefield and Tooborac episodes we drove out there one weekend and loved it. Visited the bakeries and both had the yummy pies. As for where to go next. I’m voting for Adelaide. Thanks guys and Twyla. 😘
I’m so happy for you checked out Lancefield that’s why we love to hang out episodes to encourage people to get out there and explore their own backyard. Now that you’ve mentioned bakery I feel like a pie lol 😂 Thanks for the suggestion to Adelaide. We’ve got a lot to consider on this trip we’ve had so many suggestions it’s been great. Thanks again for checking out of episode we really appreciate it.Deano
Amazing episode again guys.
Tassy would be great but no good for Twyla on the spirit.
You are right Deano they should have dog friendly cabins.
Kim I really seriously think they do need to do it and I’m surprised they haven’t come up with a way to do it already. The minute they do Adam Twyla and myself will be on the next boat. Lol
Great episode guys xxxx
Thanks Vicky, and thank you also for jumping on our live tonight we really appreciate it. Deano 😊
Hi Dean and Adam, we much much enjoy your adventures showing off bakeries, points of interest and camp cooking. It all makes for a great mix. The last episode I watched you wanted tips for where to travel as you are going to have a 3 week trip. I haven't done the Silo Art trail personally but know that it passes through a lot of western district towns where there is free camping. If you went south to north you could free camp along the Murray when you pass into South Australia and thereabouts. There are dozens of places in the Riverland, then you could head back down through the Barossa etc. There are a few freebies along the way, Burra Gorge being one where we have stayed. I think one called Farrells Flats or something similar too. Lots of history in SA.....Peterborough, Orroroo etc. We look forward to seeing whatever you get up too, and safe travels as you go. We have a Tommy Camper, they a worth checking out if you ever see one in your travels, best of luck, Joanne, Huonville Tasmania
Wow wow wow this is the most in-depth holiday plan we have had. Thank you so much we really appreciate all the time and effort that went into this suggestion. And if we don’t do this, I’m definitely saving it for a trip in the future. Thanks, Joanne and safe travels to you. Also regards Dean
Gold Coast drive would be amazing! ❤
I think you’re the first one to mention the Gold Coast. Definitely put it in the maybe pile. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for checking out the episode. Regards Deano
Italy !! definitely I'm with you Adam.
A few places we went to in October with our van that we loved if you decide to do NSW ..... Berry & Tilba Tilba a must . Jervis bay , Kiama and the Kangaroo Valley.
Love your videos , happy travels wherever you decide to go.
If only they would let Twyla hop on the plane with us, will definitely be in Italy. But thank you for your NSW suggestions they are great. Thanks for checking out an episode we really appreciate it. Deano
HI Guys love the channel - would love to see the Vic High Country on your travels 18:10
Yes, now we have our Jimny we definitely do you want to try and get there. Thanks for the suggestion and thank you for checking out the episode. Regards Deano
great episode even though there was no bakery lol. We are the same about Tassie with our dog..if you were able to even just go down and check on your dog would be good..if and a big if we did do it then it would be a day crossing, we would sign the waiver and leave her in the van with a valium (twyla would only need a 1/2 lol) to sleep the trip ..but then theres so much that is National Park down there so it would be very restrictive with a pooch.. its all on the bottom of the bucket list.
where ever you decide to go is fine with me lol ..love seeing all the little wayside places that bi passes have ...um..bi passed lol. Safe travels.
Yes we definitely spewing they haven’t offered the dog friendly travel on spirit of Tasmania yet. Thanks for checking yellow episode really appreciate it. I’m sure we will find plenty more of the special towns that we love. Don’t worry will be back at a bakery soon lol Thanks Chery
Please come visit Uralla NSW as per the Backroads episode you were watching during this episode. Love to show you guys & Twyla the NSW High country.
Thanks Coddi, what a great suggestion and I might have to go back and look up that episode on UA-cam because I didn’t get to see it all. Really appreciate you jumping on live chat tonight and hopefully will be in New South Wales soon. Regards Deano
Great video again guys! Jerilderie isn’t too far over the border into NSW. There is a self guided walking tour of Ned Kelly if you are into that kind of history. There is a nice lake in the middle of town you could probably free camp at also. Check it out and see if it’s something that might interest you.
Thanks Bryker58 will definitely look it up. Also, thanks for watching our episode. We really appreciate it.Deano
Hi guys we love your show and would like to see you go to SA towards Eyre peninsula as we would like to visit the area from Victoria and check that area out regards Chris and Jackie
Hey Chris and Jackie , thank you so much for your suggestion. We’ve had so many great ideas sent to us. It’s gonna be hard to choose. Hopefully we get to South Australia for you guys. But if we don’t get there you’ll have to let us know what you thought of it. Thanks again for checking out the episode. Regards Deano
Going up through centre nsw to Gold Coast would be good. You could stop a Dubbo, Tamworth heaps to see. Looking forward to seeing your travels were ever it take you.
Wow, we have had such a good response so many different places to choose from. Thanks for checking out tonight’s episode and you’ll definitely find out soon. We will be heading. Regards Deano
Tasmania is on my bucket list, so maybe a trip there would be good. Otherwise you could look at visiting some of the national parks of both Victoria and NSW. Recently went horse riding in the VIC High country. Spectacular scenery. However you would need to go in the Jimny with better tyres in many sections. A trip following the silo art trail would be interesting too.
Thanks, Greg, loving all these ideas, everyone sending us. We are writing them all down and I’m gonna go through them and work out what we think we want to do. Also, thanks for checking out tonight’s episode. Really appreciate it. You’ll definitely find out soon where we end up going. Regards Deano
I'm a (nearby) local, you did pronounce Bunjil correctly. There's a Bunjil geoglyph not too far away at the You Yangs in Little River. As for where to go, my vote is inland NSW or the top east of SA, or a hunt for the best vanilla slices in the country.
Good to hear, I finally got something right lol 😂 Thanks for watching the episode and for the suggestions. Looks like New South Wales is winning at the moment but will see how we go. Have a great week Regards Deano
I stayed at Bunjils lookout a few months ago and had the whole place to myself 😊🇦🇺
You’re lucky, it was so busy there the night we were there did you go a weekday? Thanks for checking out the episode we really appreciate it. Regards Deano
Ok so you need to come to Adelaide and head to Barossa Valley. Only about 1-2 hrs from Adelaide. Could even stay in our driveway first. 🤣
Wow, now that’s an offer. Thank you so much Mark we really appreciate it. We would love to go to Barassa one day so will see if it makes it on the list for this time. Have an awesome week. Regards Deano
@@kingdeanoadventures definitely Twyla and Fender would have a great time. 😊
I'd suggest trying Broken Hill, at least for one of the directions. There's some nice towns on the way from Melbourne like Hamilton
That sounds like a great suggestion. Thank you so Glenn also thank you for helping out our lives. We really appreciate it. Deano
June is a Elvis rockabilly expo in Queensland/ Coolangatta border. Thats our plan. If I'm driving I plan to stop off in Lightening ridge NSW you might be interested. Its a black opal town with FREE hot mineral springs. The town is very kitschy.
Or what about outback SA including Barossa Valley. The Ghan trail journey is amazing. The Afrghan Camel trail up to Uluru. We did in 2020 on the Ghan outstanding sunrises and heaps of interested things. You can drive it.
This spot looks great for a spot over or weekender. I don't understand why they will not allow pets in the ferry or people can't check their pets 10/11hrs is a long time being stuck in the car,/van.
Thanks for all your amazing suggestions. These are fantastic. We’ve got so many different choices now but hopefully we can get to some of these. Adam and I would be the very first person buying tickets on the spirit of Tasmania if they had pet friendly cabins. Hope you guys are well and thank you again for your suggestions.
We love Bermagui in whale season time.
Thanks for the suggestion Carol we’re gonna have so many places to choose from now then ask Me where we gonna playing this trip lol
Love your shows guys would be great if you guys came Nowra again to meet yous you could say at gradys River side caravan Park pet friendly on the river in Nowra okay thanks kevin
Thanks Kevin, we will be coming up there soon but only for a flying visit. I’ve got a family party there we’re driving up on the weekend and come back to the same weekend unfortunately. But if we do get another opportunity, will let you know. Thank you for suggestion and I’m definitely gonna check the place out. Regards Deano
Such a good episode. We enjoy all your episodes. So much information.
Thanks for your kind words, Carol. Hope you enjoyed your trip. Hope you have an awesome week also. Deano 😊
Hi, loved this episode. My husband and I lived in Lethbridge back in the eighties. It's where we met. My mother and stepfather opened the corner store back then. So I lived in the house and worked in the shop. We moved away for a couple of years then moved back and I worked in the shop again when my friends owned it.
Wow, what a small world. How did it feel seeing the shop in the episode? Does it look a lot different? Thanks for checking out the episode really appreciate it. Regards Deano
Yes it does look alot different. Felt very nostalgic. Was there a year ago, as my mother-in-law was buried there then. So it holds alot of meaning and memories for me.
Adelaide!!! I can show u around!!
If you can sleep in between us on the floor in the van, you’re more than welcome lol
I suggest the STH coast, Robe
We have been there, but didn’t spend too much time. It was a really really nice place. Thanks for your suggestion Kim and thank you for all your support every week you’re the best 😊
You bet 👍

A good, and closest, free camp in the wine region of hunter valley is at McNamara park Broke. There are a number of wineries at Broke, one with a sculpture park, but it also only a twenty minute drive to the centre of the Hunter Valley Wine Region where there are numerous cellar doors and other attractions such as the Hunter Valley Gardens and Harrigan’s Pub. We also have a transit camper van. We live about an hours drive from Broke and always stay there when we go ‘up the valley’.
Thank you for those suggestions. We are writing all this on a list and they were gonna sort it out from there and work out which way we’re going. Thanks for checking out tonight’s episode. Regards Deano
I'd suggest the silo paintings in nsw an all the free camp sites
My wife is hooked on you three loves the shows with deano cooking thanks guys keep the great work up❤😊
Thank you for your suggestion sounds fantastic and thank you also for all the kind words. We are so happy you guys enjoy our episodes.. thanks again for the comment and suggestion. Regards Deano
Try the Blue Mountains NSW.
I’ve heard they good I wonder if we’ll be able to drive there in our van because we’re not planning on taking our Jimny thanks for the suggestion. Thank you also for checking out our episode tonight. Regards Deano
Or a trip to Tilba
We love Tilba.
Thanks Vikki for all your suggestions will have to look this one up because I don’t think I’ve heard of it before. Hope you have a super weak.
Just let you know.. if you are making any money for your videos. Tasmania, you have to have a permit. At $400. Per project. Fine, I think, is 30k. Lots of youtubes complaining and not going..
Thank you so much for the heads up. That’s really kind of you. Happy and safe travels and thanks for checking out episode. We really appreciate that also. Deano
What about Tassie? If not then definitely SA. Ok just read comments... Tassie is a no go .
We’ll see how we go, but we’re hoping one day. Day they will let you take your dog into a dog friendly cabin on the spirit of Tasmania. SA definitely on the maybe list. Thanks for checking out the episode and for the suggestion. Regards Deano
How about mount tamborine xx
Not sure if I’ve heard that Vikki Adam and I have a lot of research and to do
Yuk
Thanks for checking out our episode we were the appreciate it. I hope you enjoy your week
