    Guys after 40 years of caravanning there was not much new info for me in this one but I must say this video is full of good information for the newer caravaner well done. I watched the whole video because I enjoying watch you both and look forward to watching you next trip. To bad you have done WA as we are off on a 3 month trip from Brisbane leaving in June next year heading to north WA for the wild flower season traveling down WA as the wild flowers open from North to South. Please keep doing these wonderful videos.

      Thank you. Yes, we try to mix our episodes up to be informative to new travellers but also gain some new ideas from experienced travellers. It's a bit of a win-win for everyone. Ahh, that's awesome. Have a wonderful, safe trip 😊 🙏

      We're doing exactly that ourselves. Leaving Sydney early May through western NSW onto the Flinders, up the Oodnadatta track and onto central and northern Australia in readiness for the wildflower season. We've been caravanning since the mid nineties. Might see you on the road somewhere.

    Great video as always legends! I love that you’re sharing your experiences transparently and showing us how you’re learning as you go. No doubt you’ve saved many newbies from having a bad day, particularly with the weights and safety side.

    Maybe consider an episode (or part of one) dedicated to insurances, a in a bit of depth. Health insurance (changes to policy if traveling), car and caravan insurance tips, tricks and hurdles.

    Hi am interested to know what people do re their home insurance when they are away for extended periods, as most insurers don't cover you if your away for more than 60 days.

    • @JourneyUnknown
      @JourneyUnknown  2 місяці тому

      We have family stay in our house when we're away. We haven't had never heard of insurance companies doing this, but it wouldn't surprise us.

      Thanks Paul, this is probably our whole point. You don't have to sell up to travel Australia. Many people have varying abilities and knowledge of travelling, just because you're experienced and know a lot. There are many who find these types of episodes informative, very handy, and helpful. We understand that we'll never please everyone. This is not our agenda because if we try to, we'll end up pleasing no one. Thanks for tuning in 👍

      @Jilly13bean12, Yet you continually watch our content and provide negative comments. Life becomes a lot easier when you're kind and thoughtful of others. Making mistakes is what makes you knowledgeable. and travelling Aus is done in many different ways. We can be proud that we've navigated Australia our way and will continue to show others how they can do the same ❤️
