Cairns to Adelaide in a Motorhome | The Outback, Australia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- An unplanned, one way journey into the outback as we travel from Karumba (just south of Cairns in Northern Queensland) to Adelaide (South Australia).
See the spectacular scenery as we travel north to Karumba on the Gulf of Carpentaria and then down through the middle of the country, visiting Devils Marbles /Karlu Karlu, the West Macdonnell Ranges and Uluru... among other places.
You'll get a bit of a feel for what our motorhome (Maui Cascade) was like (spoiler, they're awesome) as Nat pushes outback mobile internet speeds to their limit and continues to work online from some of the most remote places in Australia!
We never had any places booked and chose to go at our own pace, discovering some incredible spots and one of the best free camp sites you could imagine. I would recommend this trip for anyone interested in seeing a quintessential part of our beautiful country - we thought it was incredible.
South Australia was rushed but if you enjoy this video, be sure to check out the 4 videos that cover our campervan trip from Melbourne to Perth over 2 months the following year.
* Footage is shot using a GoPro and a Mavic Mini drone as well as a Samsung S10 mobile phone.

So we'll put together, what an amazing adventure! Love this!
Thank you again, Merrilyn. I hope you enjoy the next one as much!
Fantastic images, one of the best so far. Well done guys.
Thanks George!
Hi Ricky, loved your presentation and photography especially the drone footage. It brought back memories as we’re done many trips over the years cris crossing all the places you traveled through. Be proud of what you have done loved it thanks Cheers Steve
Thank you very much Steve! Your words have me even more motivated to film the next one. Greatly appreciated.
Another great video guys. Super dynamic. I can see the growth in your editing skills from your first ones, though I have loved them all. The music complemented the images so well. Once more, you have showcased areas I have not been to, and didn't know were so breathtaking. This also gives great insight for people considering a nomadic lifestyle. I would add a map each time you talk about a milestone. Other than that, it is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing the next one!
Thank you so much Muriel!
I agree the maps would be great - something I'll try and learn for the next one.
Hope you're doing well x
A great video. Really like the way you clearly described where you were, as this is incredibly helpful when planning a trip.
Always appreciate feedback and nice to know our videos can help people. Thank you 😀
Great video Ricky and well done on a big drive like that. Enjoyed seeing Central Australia again :)
Thanks David! I did think of you when I was around Alice Springs.
Hope you have a great Christmas and things settle down in the new year
Fantastic video and that drone did it's best.
Love your work.
Thanks very much Dipak! The little
Mavic mini does a good job for an entry level drone
Brilliant video absolutely brilliant and thank you so much.
Thanks so much. Special part of the world for sure
Totally in awe of your drone photography skills, oh, and the lovely lady's smile!
Thanks mate! I reckon the epic landscapes do most of the heavy lifting...
Wonderful to see your presentation style. I am over the constant selfie thing in so many. Its great to see the presenter or narrator but it doesnt need to be 70% that some serve up. I will be watching more and making sure our overseas friends get a look, as one lot of friends hope to arrive in 4 years time . We ourselves have done a lot of the route, and enjoyed it too. Thank you
Thank you Jill. Really appreciate the feedback and love that it hit the mark for you :)
Amazing mate!
Thanks heaps Ash! Appreciate it
Makes me want to go back to the red centre. It's been too long! Loved the cows running across the road and it's amazing you got so close to a thorny devil. I will be telling hubby about the incident in Mt Isa, as he's a bit 'relaxed' about security ;-)
I was far too relaxed too - very easy to be that way when you've never had trouble I guess.
Thorny Devil was one of my highlights too. Glad to hear you enjoyed it, thank you!
Very nice Vlog. Thank you
Thank you 🙏
Great footage & not amateurish at all! I'm glad you didn't go the Birdsville way as I initially thought you might!
Thanks Linsay!
We almost went that route but really happy with how things turned out.
This is first of y'alls videos that I have seen, beautiful scenery. I am a Yank but I lived on the Atherton Tableland in 1977 and 78 and the beginning brought back some memories. It is so beautiful there.
Hope you enjoyed it! Atherton is a stunning region and I’m guessing you would have had those waterfalls all to yourself back then!!
@@LifeDunnDifferently It's been so long that I don't remember for sure, but I know that I camped at the foot of all of them without any issue, and some had restrooms and some didn't. The curtain fig didn't have a boardwalk to it, you just climbed through the jungle to get to it!
Absolutely enjoyed this, I have a campervan so need to stick to 2wd travel that’s the reason I watched, but I will now be following you both. Cheers Judy Qld.
Great to hear Judy - thank you!
Nice work 💯🇦🇺
Thanks 👍
hi ricky. watched yr travel video and i must say d editing was done professionelly, music jst awesome and not much talking or running commentary...10 out of 10 fr that. cheers frm mazlan malaysia.
Thanks so much Mazlan - that’s very kind of you.
Amazing thank u x
Cheers!
Brilliant an amazing production. Love the drone shots. What music service do you recommend? We are about to do the lap and your videos inspire us Thanks.
Thanks a lot. This was the first video like this I made - good couple of years ago now. Music is from Premiumbeat.com
Good luck with your trip!!
👍 well done.
Thank you Bono! Cheers!
Fully watched and Subbed (504) I just found this video snd absolutely loved it. We’ve just bought a new motor home snd wanted to watch other channels doing some trips. Yours stood out amongst them all. Looking forward to watching more. 😃👍
Hey Den - thanks very much mate that's awesome to hear.
Hope you have a great time in the motorhome - we loved the experience travelling around the country and there's an endless list of amazing places to explore.
Appreciate the support. Cheers
@@LifeDunnDifferently Happy to support your channel. I watched your vid and really loved the quality. Your editing is perfect. I loved the drone footage snd thought you had a good combo of music, talking and no clip dragged on. Had me glued from start to finish. I’ll watch more of your vids later but going on this one I’m sure you’ll grow into a huge channel down the track. 😃👍
Love the feedback mate, thank you. You’ve got some great vids too (I subbed)!!
Be great to hear any constructive criticism you’re willing to share if you end up watching more recent video on WA.
@@LifeDunnDifferently Mate. I watched your vids South Australia in a camper an and then W.A in a camper van and honestly couldn’t fault them. You talk really well, your clips don’t drag out too much. I also love all your drone shots too. I like it how you mix it up with music, a bit of talking including a great intro. Your end of video extras all blend together to make it really good quality. For me personally, I’d like to see a little bit of a tour around each different Motorhome you hire. But that’s only my thing.
You may be a smaller channel than I am but I think your quality exceeds mine. I should be asking you for advice. Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll be earning a quid for these in the near future. Also thank you for subbing and supporting my channel also. I feel like I’m slowly improving Means a lot. 😃👍
ah you're a legend! Really appreciate the feedback and reckon you're on the money. Probably need to make more than a video every couple of months to grow the channel but nice to know it's heading in the right direction.
I would think most viewers would be envious of such a fantastic iconic bit of travelling you and Nat are doing. From a story telling perspective I have heard from UA-cam creators that poor video can be forgiven, but poor audio can ruin a good bit of storytelling!! Pay attention to the audio track. Also… did you know you can use the drone camera as a hand held gimbal camera. One more point, it might be worth the investment in a DJI OSMO pocket, fototripper makes great use of this camera, Finally get Nat more involved, as these travels include her too. Good luck with your adventures. I’ll be watching with envious green eye. Love the Aussie content 👍🏼. Keep up the excellent storytelling 👍🏼❤️🍷🇦🇺📷
Hey Bruce
Thanks for watching and your feedback is much appreciated. To be honest, I cringe watching any of my old videos back - it's interesting how quickly my own expectations have changed... Audio in this one really frustrates me and I've made it a priority since.
Will try and get Nat a little more involved... not sure she shares quite the level of interest but agree :)
It was an epic trip that one - will never forget some of those stops!
Cheers
Wow nice beauty of nature new friend here
Thank you. Yes, the Australian Outback is incredible
Love the video. Well shot and prepared. I would love to do something like this. Did you hire the camper van?
Thank you! Yes, we hired it through Britz/Maui - it was great.
Will be doing it again soon hopefully :)
What brand is the drone please loved the video.
Thanks mate. Just a little Mavic Mini
Enjoyed watching this video. Simple and easy to watch with interesting places and nice visuals. Don't descend into the UA-cam channel that has more presenters face time than views and places, as some do. I've subscribed.
Thanks John - I’ll do my best!!
A great video and very well presented. We are preparing to do much of that trip commencing in April from Brisbane as well. If you intend doing more travelling and require mobile/internet coverage, invest in a Cel-Fi Go. It is amazing. Cheers. (552 views/18 likes? What is wrong with people?)
Hey Paul
Thanks so much for the kind words.
Will look into the Cel Fi Go, sounds like it would really help us.
Hopefully a few more people find and enjoy the video :)
Thanks again!
Is that a West Ham shirt you have on mate?
You mean the future Europa League champions? ⚒️⚒️⚒️
Die hard hammer… moved to London just to be there for last season at Upton park 🤣 COYI
@@LifeDunnDifferently I am a lifelong supporter and have the similar shirt, hope to get to London and see a game, but you are making me jealous the last season at Upton Park well done. Love the video we have brought a van and heading up that way as soon as we can, good luck to you both on future travels.
Awesome mate. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Great time to be a hammers fan too!
Hi guys, your videos are wonderful, fabulous. Can you write ✍️ the every expenses, in your video, like fuel, van rent, grocery, trip details, year, Kilometre, everything please would be helpful for everyone
Thanks 😊
Thank you mate. Unfortunately we didn't record this information during our journey. I'm sorry!
What was the cost to rent the motor home ?
This was when most of the country was locked down so we got it very cheap... they had a lot of availability and we negotiated a deal for a van up the coast SE QLD and then took the motorhome to Adelaide. Normally starts at about $250 a day but they do have deals fairly regularly.
Gold coast is crap. Sunshine coast is way better. So did you get a fine, like you advertised?
Disagree with you about the Gold Coast... not too sure what fine you are referring to
