6 years together and making memories in your Troopy. Congrates. We are 41 years together and still making memories in our Troopy too. Lifes good guys. Stay happy and enjoy your travels.
I remember when the track to 1770 and Agnes Waters was a rough bush track. I was horrified when I heard that it had been sealed. Once upon a time you could fish off the rocks or take a tinny up the creek and catch loads of fish and there was no one there to share it with. All that was there was a few huts on the beach. It was a rough wilderness and only true adventurers dared to go. Still, we can't stop progress. At least there's a fish and chip shop. And you can say you've been to a pretty special place. And you did it before you got old. Cheers to you both :-)
Can do the Eurimbula track from Turkey Beach through but even its changed a fair bit in just a few years and plenty of adventures with a left or right half way along it
Enjoying your trip together around Aus so much... Loved to see parts of Seventeen Seventy again. I camped there with my first wife back in 1993 and loved it to much and the back roads down to Bundeberg were incredible.... All dirt and very slippery from all the rian they had at the time... but still enjoyable... thanks so much for living not only your dream but the dream of a lot of us that would love to do what you guys are doing... Love the vieos
We are not amazing ,you guys are the amazing ones ...can't wait till we get to australia to do what you guys are doing..thank you for your great videos
Started watching the other day, got interrupted but now I'm back!! You sure you didn't just have a dream!!!! Another awesome vid again. Weight is always a big issue. Your subs are growing!! Congrats guys. Catch you next episode.
Hey thanks for watching! I was awake well I’m pretty sure I was anyways 😂😂 very scary experience. As for weight yes it is a issue for sure we are working on it slowly getting rid I certain things that we aren’t using as much.
hahah, that's why my travelling buddy is a Rottweiler backed up by a 12G, see how much you appreciate the home comforts every now and then when travelling long term - roll on 2k subscribers guys & congrats on the 6 years, I bet it went quick 😋😉
Awesome videos guys. 1940 subscribers as I look. You been blessed with almost 1000 since you recorded this video! Happy Anniversary! Will there be a Troopy Baby on the way soon 😁. Just messing with ya😜
Hey guys keep the awsome content coming it’s awsome to watch. If u can find it in you budget look in to the bury or striker phone cradle and antenna they really are worth the money especially for you guys needing internet to upload videos. I say this cause I had one in a truck and was in a parking bay 90ks sth of coober peedy and was able to watch the footy grand final by putting my phone in the cradle for full service and hot spot my iPad to sit by a fire with the game going. You could do the same and hot spot to your lap top. Keep in mind the higher gain arial the better service you’ll get. Any communication mob will be able to advise. I know there using the bury kits and a 3ft GME antenna’s in some out back mines with full service in other wise dead zones
I really love your videos, you guys are down to earth and very inspiring 😊 We had a trip planned for September in our van but unfortunately the ACT lockdown doesn’t let us! Watching you guys makes us dream about freedom! Thank you
Thanks for the kind comment 😊 hopefully all this COVID stuff settles down soon. My sisters locked down in Melbourne as well and I think they have just gone into another lock down!
Finally someone on UA-cam camping around Oz that's interesting! Watched yr Cape Trib one and loved it. I backpacked and worked up there for 6 months in the 90's (l'm from Melbourne). But my worst fear has to be feral idiots making trouble. Thank you for posting this because everyone tells me its safe as houses but you really just don't know. Once l was in a tent in an actual camping site in Hervey Bay just until my bus left at 2am for Noosa. Two drunk morons walk past my tent and one said to the other, hey, wonder who's inside here? And started to unzip the tent. 😳 Luckily the other one had a shred of brain left and said Nah, don't do it, let's go. Breathe again..... Single chick on her own....
That would have been terrifying! You do have to watch out especially when your by yourself! Fingers crossed it’s all smooth sailing on our next trip round. Thanks for watching 👍😊
@@itsJackandMegan yes never really got over that so car camping with a tent attachment (hatch down at night!) is the way to go. Keep up the good work guys 👏😊
You 2 are in a Troopy, so that's a good start. Congrats on 6 years, you should/did splurge a bit. Have to ration gas/water/electricity and all the other mod cons when travelling. Bbuutt don't get the same ol view every morning. I'm a fan.
Just found you guys and subscribed ... Great Vid and btw Happy Anniversary .. Could you please explain how you hook up your mobile ph to the fishing rod and what that what cable is ..Thanks
Hi mate thanks for watching! Haha I used some duct tape to stick the phone to the rod and ran the charger on an extension lead from the inverter to keep it charged 😂😂 Worked a treat!
Because silly Megan only has an automatic license. I probably wouldn't trust her driving if even she did have her manual though 😂 she's one of those people who parks a kilometre away from the shop entrance so she doesn't have to park next to any cars so imagine her in the troopy 😂
Classic- we got the recommendation to visit from a campsite neighbour in NSW and had to get him to repeat it because we thought we misheard 😂 thanks for watching mate!
Great video.. How GOOD is The Serpent!!!!! How long are you guys planing to travel for ? and I would be interested to know what budget you’ve set. All good if you’re not sharing that info. Cheers.
Thank you! Oh we absolutely binged The Serpent, haven't been sucked into a show like that for ages haha. We don't have a solid end date, just going to go as long as the budget allows! 30k was our budget for the whole lap.
@@itsJackandMegan Hey guys, were at the commencement of building our fit-out and we're at crossroads in the build. Please - any recommendations on needs / wants / do's and don'ts would be so appreciated. Thanks a bunch and safe travels.
@@maxinedevoogd8400 Sorry we have only just seen this comment! We have just filmed a video in regards to our fitout- the way we designed it and how we use the space. It will be out next Thursday!
I live in Bundaberg they would be young people probably on drugs the crime rate was pretty bad then as far as steeling goes they would say that to scare people and they no they can get away with steeling that why they said it
Thanks for watching mate. We have already been! Unfortunately the wind was a bit heavy the day we visited champagne pools so just had a quick look but it was still really beautiful regardless. We’ve got a couple of videos up from our time on Fraser, definitely one of our favourite places so far!
@@itsJackandMegan Thanks mate yup that’s up there.Love what you guys are doing.I just picked a a sandy taupe 2021 troopy blank canvas so fitting her out I’m super conscious of weight.We lol see how I go.Thanks again mate a safe travels.👍
Hey mate at the start of the trip we didn't know what we were going to need so we over compensated a bit. I just figured if I got rid of some things we could save on some diesel consumption.
Please work on the translation into Arabic. I will watch all the videos again... I hope to continue downloading more to share the fun adventure with you... All the love to you both
Yeah they were teasing ya, knowing they could hear ya, lol, make sure you have a u bee stick next to ya, Whats a u bee stick you ask, You be f$%##d if I hit ya wid it
Woooo SUBSCRIBED!! We are also travelling Aus! In our van, we’re living.simple_van on Instagram - keen to follow along & hopefully see you guyssss on the road super soooon 💫💫💫
Sorry about that mate. We do use the gimbal for our broll sequences but is way too heavy for vlogging unfortunately. Hopefully one day we’ll be able to upgrade to a camera with better stabilisation. We’ll just keep doing our best with what we’ve got for now!
6 years together and making memories in your Troopy. Congrates. We are 41 years together and still making memories in our Troopy too. Lifes good guys. Stay happy and enjoy your travels.
41 years WOW! we got some catching up to do.

Would have been awesome to visit back then. Always more rewarding reaching somewhere after a rough drive. Cheers mate!
Can do the Eurimbula track from Turkey Beach through but even its changed a fair bit in just a few years and plenty of adventures with a left or right half way along it
@@samryan3299 I know that track. It used to be used by the locals but i guess many tourists use it now.

Do you have any good camping spots for Fraser island
Hey mate if you check out our other videos we have two on Fraser island But Sandy cape and Awinya creek are a Must!
2k , that picked up quickly , well done :-)
Thanks mate!
Nice Vid.
I have a question:
Why do you never see Megan driving the Toyota?
Because silly Megan only has an automatic license. I probably wouldn't trust her driving if even she did have her manual though 😂 she's one of those people who parks a kilometre away from the shop entrance so she doesn't have to park next to any cars so imagine her in the troopy 😂
Gotta love this country. Only in Australia, will a town be named Seventeen Seventy. 😂
Classic- we got the recommendation to visit from a campsite neighbour in NSW and had to get him to repeat it because we thought we misheard 😂 thanks for watching mate!
Congratulations guys 👍
Thanks mate!

Thanks Maree, appreciate it!
Freaky night camping indeed. Unless those two guys knew you'd hear what they were saying and purposely said those things just to mess with you two. 🤔
It was a bloody experience that's for sure haha
I live in Bundaberg they would be young people probably on drugs the crime rate was pretty bad then as far as steeling goes they would say that to scare people and they no they can get away with steeling that why they said it
You guy r awesome …
Haha cheers mate thanks for watching!
Love your videos. You guys are both BEAUTIFUL. can i ask how old you both are?
Hi Megan is 28 and myself 27.
Thanks for watching have a great day 😊
@@itsJackandMegan Wow thanks for replying. Once again, you guys are both beautiful and down to earth. Good luck :)
If your going to Fraser Island get to the champagne pools up the nth end,
Thanks for watching mate. We have already been! Unfortunately the wind was a bit heavy the day we visited champagne pools so just had a quick look but it was still really beautiful regardless. We’ve got a couple of videos up from our time on Fraser, definitely one of our favourite places so far!
Congratulations
Thank you!
Guys do you know what you weight fully loaded.
Around 3.9t mate when fully loaded which is not often only on longer trips we will fill both tanks up and carry around 70lt of water
@@itsJackandMegan Thanks mate yup that’s up there.Love what you guys are doing.I just picked a a sandy taupe 2021 troopy blank canvas so fitting her out I’m super conscious of weight.We lol see how I go.Thanks again mate a safe travels.👍
I know to much weight is a problem but how did it effect your travels
Hey mate at the start of the trip we didn't know what we were going to need so we over compensated a bit. I just figured if I got rid of some things we could save on some diesel consumption.
“If Noosa and Byron had babies, it would be 1770” Quote of the day.
😂😂 good one hey mate!
Please work on the translation into Arabic. I will watch all the videos again... I hope to continue downloading more to share the fun adventure with you... All the love to you both
Thanks for watching 👍
Yeah they were teasing ya, knowing they could hear ya, lol, make sure you have a u bee stick next to ya,
Whats a u bee stick you ask,
You be f$%##d if I hit ya wid it
👍😂
Woooo SUBSCRIBED!! We are also travelling Aus! In our van, we’re living.simple_van on Instagram - keen to follow along & hopefully see you guyssss on the road super soooon 💫💫💫
Thanks guys might see you on the road! 👍😊
Get a gimbal or stabilize your videos in edit.. Can't stand shaky camera movements.
Sorry about that mate. We do use the gimbal for our broll sequences but is way too heavy for vlogging unfortunately. Hopefully one day we’ll be able to upgrade to a camera with better stabilisation. We’ll just keep doing our best with what we’ve got for now!
Loose as much as ya can, weight wise, it costs fuel,
I’m already seeing a difference in the way the cars driving a few more items and I’m thinking we will have a big savings in diesel!
That’s where we should be able to carry a firearm for protection.
Would come in handy, butter knife it is at the moment 😂😂
Congratulations
Cheers mate!
