THIS IS THE END OF VAN LIFE AUSTRALIA
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 тра 2024
- After three and a half years, this is the end of our Van Life Australia journey. We've travelled 80,000km around the country and seen some incredibly amazing places, but it's time for the next adventure.
This week we explain why we are stopping vanlife, and what's next. Come on an emotional journey with us as we cross our final state border into Queensland, and back "home" to the "mancave".

Take care, again you are a sincere and wonderful couple.
All the best.

I've been following your adventures for a few months now, very emotional ending that! Look forward to seeing more of your travels. Keep exploring and keep having fun x
thanks Steve, it was emotional for both of us too. There's so much of the world to explore and so little time!
Thanks for sharing all your travel experience in Australia, was very helpful with my trip to Australia couple of mounts back.
especially the trip you did in Tasmania was perfect for me, I was there also when you were there, i saw you driving around at port Arthur TOP
Again thanks for sharing, using your videos for planning my next trip !

Oh, I wish you'd have said Hi if you saw us. Glad to be of help, isn't Tassie amazing?
@@nigelandsueadventures Tassie was top, did a mainland trip afterward, but prefer Tassie a bit like NZ with a lot of wildlife !
Liked tassie a lot, for sure a island I like to go back to !
Gonna miss your Aussie adventures but can't wait to see you exploring Saudi or somewhere nearby. It's been a wonderful journey with you so far. All the best and I will stay tuned for what ever is next.
Cheers Dave, we are super excited to share the new adventures.
Welcome home. Loved getting inspired by your trip.
Thanks Karyn, it's been a blast. We hope we can keep inspiring you with our new adventures too.

Cheers Keith. Only the end of Australia (for now). We’ve become a bit addicted to Van Life, so watch this space!
Have been so happy to have seen so much of Australia with you... looking forward to your next adventures!! I'm sure it will be fun!
I hope so too! Thanks for being along for the ride!
You made me cry! I am SO excited to see where your travels take you, love you guys ❤
Haha, I'm sorry for that. I cried too while I was editing this one. The next stage of the journey should be super exciting too!
Great final episode friends. Thanks for fabulous memories, great photography and helpful information. Will miss your van life very much. But we set off in our Sprinter in a day for a month or so to your State. Thanks guys!
It's only the end of Van Life AUSTRALIA... hehe,
Have a great time in Qld in your Sprinter. Next week we will be sharing some of our favourite places we saw on our Big Lap
It's been great watching you guys from the beginning and as it's only this trip that has ended shall look forward to your new adventures, take care x
Thanks so much! We appreciate you being here. and you're right, its just the end of this chapter, not the end of the story.
Great effort, thanks for sharing you life. Looking forward to the next stage together. !
Yeah, we are super excited!
Shock, horror! I wasn't expecting this. Thank you so much for your hard work in producing and sharing your journey along which I have been able to, with great envy, tag along. Kudos to you both. I look forward to seeing what you two get up to next.
Cheers David! The next stage will be very exciting for us, hope you join us on the journey!
You both have given us a wealth of knowledge regarding travelling around Australia. It has been a pleasure watching your videos every week. Thank you for sharing and wish you both all the best and good health on your next journey. Look forward to seeing your videos again. Cheers. Connie and Hugh.
Thanks Connie and Hugh! We’re glad you’ve enjoyed the Australia series. We are super excited for “season2” coming soon!
Awww! I am so sad the Aussie trip has finished. But, looking forward to your new adventures. It has been wonderful travelling with you. Thanks a heap for taking me along with you. Who am I going to watch now with so many finishing their trips. Good luck for the future.
We are sad too, its been a great adventure. There's a big back catalogue you can watch, or you might even be entertained and inspired by our upcoming international travels???
Thanks for sharing your amazing adventures around Oz, cheers and all the best for the future, 😄🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺❤️
Thanks! We hope you enjoy the next series
Wow! What a fantastic journey it's been.
We live in Brisbane too and built our van in 2021 (18 months to build). We haven't done the big lap yet but have covered most of the east coast of Australia. I don't think we could ever part with the van because with it comes adventure, discovery and a type of freedom which is very hard to explain.
We're guessing the UK is the next destination for you guys but either way safe travels.
God bless ❤🙏❤️
Yes, it's going to be very sad seeing the van leave. But, on to another exciting adventure.
Just found your channel. Watching in order but the latest episode popped up and I couldn't resist.
I feel your sorrow to be home. I went through the same emotions after our Lap; and our most recent three month meandering along the Murray River.
Excited to see your new adventure.
In the meantime I'll go back to catch up ❤
Oh gosh those early videos are almost embarrassing!! I was watching some yesterday for some content on next weeks video.
We won’t be home for long, heading off again in just a couple of weeks
@nigelandsueadventures well, I haven't noticed. I like your honesty and how you keep it real and say how it was. Hopefully I'll catch up just in time for the new instalments. How exciting 😀
What a great experience and such a wonderful adventure. It's been fabulous to follow and while it's sad that you're done here for now, I'm looking forward to the future adventures. 🤗
Thanks Lynne, for being here since the beginning! We appreciate you
Love your vids and looking forward to seeing what's next for you both!!
Thanks so much Kerry!!
One door closes and another one opens, you’ve had a great time , it’s been lovely following you both. Stay safe and well. Cheers Judy
We are so excited for the new door opening!! We hope you’ll enjoy the next adventures with us!
Have loved following you the last few months and look forward to your next adventure!
Thanks for following! We hope you enjoy the next chapter too.
Gosh it's hard to believe it's been 3 years!!! Time really does fly. I have so enjoyed following your travels, making notes in wikicamps as you go! Thanks Sue for your composting loo advice too 😉 Hoping the van sale goes smoothly and that your transition to van life overseas goes really well for you. Looking forward to seeing what's next. Bon voyage, Carla xx
Thanks Carla, 3 more sleeps till I fly out!!!
Thank you for sharing your adventures. Saskatchewan Canada👋
Thanks for watching! We hope to be over in Canada to do Van Life one day
That would be fantastic. Would love to meet you both. Take care.
It's Like entering Limbo Land! It will take a while to adjust to suburban life again. Good luck with your next adventures. I will look forward to seeing what you get up too. 😊😊😊😊
We will be getting out of the suburbs as quickly as we can!!
@@nigelandsueadventures oh yes, please do, the city will do your head in!!! 😆

Thanks for the vanlife inspo guys! I've just bought a minivan and will be full time vanlifing in a few months. Looking forward to your next adventures!
Oh Loren that's so exciting! Will you be travelling around the country?
Yes I will be! I have a remote job so the lifestyle fits well with work. It's been a dream to travel full time on the road so I am super excited. All the best guys. ❤
It’s been great watching you do the lap. But roll on new adventures!!!
We are so excited!!
WOW the end of one is the start on another , really enjoyed this look around Australia, thanks for taking us , I would have guessed NZ was next , but now I am putting my money on England ? Keep the shiny side up where ever you travel , Regards Pete
You’ll just have to watch and see!! But hint: it’s not NZ (yet)
Hi Nigel and Sue only came across this videos about three weeks ago. It’s a bit of a shame it’s that’s the end but anyway hopefully you get on and have a good life cliff from Logan City Queensland, Australia
Hey Cliff, it’s only the end of this chapter, we will still be travelling, adventuring and making videos!
Really enjoyed following you and looking forward to following your future from here in Maleny, where you have links.
I worked in Thailand for 3 years and so know how living overseas can change our worldview. Look forward to seeing how yours expands.
Oh beautiful Maleny
Love to see were you went and made it all informa😮😮😅😅tive
Glad you enjoyed it Lydia. Hope you enjoy the next series too
Oh no I only found your channel not long ago I've watched alot of your videos I'm going to miss you's Bless you's on your next adventure ❤
Don't worry! We will still be producing videos every week! There is a lot more of the world to explore and we can't wait to show you all the "off-the-beaten-track" places we find.
stopped at new Italy awhile ago coming back from a Sydney trip. I am just north of Brissy. I would love to be able to meet you when you're back.
It's a good spot isn't it? will be in Brisbane for a couple more weeks.
This is my viewing genre but I haven’t ever come across you until today! Typical….i missed the whole thing 😂 what great memories you must have to share.
Strange how the recommendations work hey? Well there’s plenty in the back catalogue if you’re interested. AND, there will be plenty of international van life content to come soon!
You two - I wish I had found you both sooner as I find you endearing and sweet. I will continue to follow you on your new adventure closer to "Saudi". Take good care
Thanks so much! Hopefully you will enjoy the back catalogue. We are so looking forward to the next adventure.
Thanks so much for all those years of wonderful adventures, and I’m definitely exciting to follow what’s next 😊. Also can you please tell me what the song and artist is at around 8.0 minutes, I love it so much and can’t seem to find what it is it anywhere. Thanks xx
Thank you!! The song is called My Home and the artist is Louis Island. Strangely it’s not on Spotify!
@@nigelandsueadventuresthanks so much! I love it 😃
Well guys, I've got lots of previous shows to see. XX
Yeah, there's a LOT of the story in the back catalogue. Hope you enjoy them, and stick around for the next chapter!
Good luck for your future.
Thanks Jenny, we are very excited.
Awww I cried ❤
Haha me too when I was editing!
Guys, I just started following you and was gobsmacked that you took the North Lakes exit. We are not far from you, thinking to do a similar thing in a few years. A bit of a wishful thinking maybe. I hope to see more at one stage.
Make it happen! You won't regret it. It's been the best adventure, and this is just the beginning. We are super excited for the next stage of our journey.
It’s been great watching your travels. Thank you for sharing. Maybe one last one to tell us how you’ve settled in.
Nigel I hate flying so I’d move closer to my work so I didn’t have to fly such a long distance 😂 given you’re a pilot I’m guessing that’s not so big a deal for you. Very exciting Sue. I’ve so loved watching you both and look forward to seeing what you both do next.
Don't worry Karen, the videos will continue! There is so much more of the world to see, and we are excited to take you along for the ride!
@@nigelandsueadventures that’s very exciting
I applaud you both. My husband and I didn’t last 2 weeks travelling together 😂
Ha! It’s definitely a test of any relationship
“NOOOOOOO”! 😢I’m not supposed to cry on Mother’s Day,such an emotional episode…It must be hard parting with the van,I thought you would just park it up incase you wanted to take off again when you come to your senses 😹”joke”! 🤗Looking forward to the rest of your travels,stay safe and always come back home 🇦🇺… I’m going to miss you guy’s! 🌻🍕
haha, I was crying so much during the editing of this video! Took me a lot longer than normal because I had to keep walking away from it. Hopefully you will keep watching our next adventures.
@@nigelandsueadventures Oh I can imagine how hard it was for you😔I will definitely be following you from now on,and I’m now following you on Instagram 🤗🌻🍕bring on pizzas from other parts of the world!
@@user-ur3rj7br4t Oh I can guarantee there will be Pizzas!!
I don't know you are from Brisbane I grew up there and I have 2 daughters and 9 grandchildren in Brisbane. Love you channel.
Thank you Michelle! It’s not a bad city, if you like cities!
@@nigelandsueadventures I don't live there any more I live in a tiny town called Tara you may have Heard of it from the fires, police being shot, and lots of drug activity and the gas fields.
I just started watching recently and then saw this is the END...Whaaat? Ok, I'm guessing Thailand is next on the agenda...??? eh? (I will be SOOOOO jelly! (jealous) I hope I'm right. THAT would definitely be EXCITING!!!!!! I have a niece there. Can't wait to go visit :)
We have talked about visiting Thailand soon, but that won't be our next stop. You'll have to keep watching to find out hehe
Seems a logical choice, enjoy 👍
Logical and very exciting!!
Dammit, just found your channel and you've finished!
We've only finished Australia... still a lot more adventures to come. And theres a HUGE back catalogue of our Australian Adventures you can enjoy. thanks for watching!
Wow l am so jealous… been working 24/7 leading the opposite life working saving … oh l am so jealous

Cheers! We will

We will be back someday, but for now, it's off for more exciting adventures.
So sad you carnt keep the van parked up in a safe place to have it coming home to again , owhell iguess you're got it worked out overseas and do great travelling again God bless and safe travelling guys 🙏
that would be a perfect world David, however we need the funds from the sale of the van to finance our next adventures. Some pretty exciting times ahead!
@@nigelandsueadventures cool I'll be watching
Have you sold your van?
No, sorry about the thumbs down but what am l going to do now 😢
Haha, there's still a whole lot of back catalogue (or are you totally caught up?). We will still be travelling, so hopefully we can inspire you with some of the international Van Life content coming up!

Keep watching Jeannie, you just might be surprised! It’s only the end of van life AUSTRALIA… thanks for always watching 🧡

Probably the same type of onions I was cutting when I was editing it! Thanks for being along for the ride.
Loved watching you both made me remember my travels I had back in 1915 best time of my life liked the freedom to do my own thing after bringing up my kids and grand daughter landing up stopping my Travels in W.A love living here
