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.
Ahh, thanks, Stew, that's a great idea, it's a minefield. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Hi guys live your new van it is beautiful .I to started taking a snack box omg the trouble was on our last trip to Darwin I ate the lot 😅😅 but that has nor stopped me we are heading off to Darwin in June and I will probably eat the lit again and just roll out the car .we just stay in Darwin as it is to much now for us to travel around but we live the weather up there better than victoria .Hope you both have a merry Christmas and new year also to Harrison and King Billy to safe travels stay safe😊
Hi Maureen, 😄 Yes, the lolly box can be a dangerous addition but well worth the extra kgs 😍. Thank you for your kind wishes. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Have a safe trip to Darwin ❤️

Can you have a live chat with us . When you put on the next episode. Have a wonderful week 🧡💚🧡💚
Hey Paul, it won't be next week, we'll sort one out down the track 👍
Are you still doing your hipcamp since you are off around Australia
Yes, the HipCamp is self-sufficient, and we'll have family their when we head off on trips.
Emptying the toilet cassette will never happen- I know because until he starts cleaning the toilet and shower or caravan in general I won’t be doing it 😂
😂 good point 👌 🥰
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.
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.
Hey guys watched alot of your videos my question is what does Laura do for work I know troy you do restoration work at the factory
Hey, thanks for watching and following along. Laura works for Yarra Trams
@JourneyUnknown thanks guys for your reply

Awesome, thank you 😊 🙏
Where did you get your Lollie organizer from ?
Laura said Temu but bunnings sell them
Is it food grade plastic? So many people ending up with microplastic in their blood.
@JoanneFilmer It's from Temu

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 👍
you guys stop it, is this a joke you didn't even make it quarter way round do you really think you are qualified to give advise i for one would not listen to your advise you guys made so many mistakes,
Why be so negative! They’ve done a lot of traveling and gave some great advice! Don’t let the title of the video confuse you!
Not helpful J Bean, not helpful at all. This video is 100% more informative than your comment.
There always one 🤬
Great video peeps. I love that you take King Billy and H with you. So good to involve family. The love shows. ❤❤🎉
@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 ❤️
