Tar roads is like a hotel..❤
You live on a drill rig. When get to tar you rekax. Then get a real bed and aircon. Is a dream.
Oh tar roads are just the best thing after being off road 🤣🤣🤣 don't want to do another rough road for a while haha!
OMG!!! Guys your coffee machine dance across the bench to the edge and then shimmer back into its original position!!! Holy. We held our breaths for you lol
I hope you screwed in some eyelets in to keep it in place 🤗
Omg I know! I may have to strap that coffee machine in a little bit more 🤣🤣
@@fivedownunder I’m thinking so lol

Absolutely loving your videos. Panicked watching your coffee machine moving around 🥴🥴
We had the pleasure of meeting you last year at Mary Kathleen.
Omg I know! I need to strap that down somehow if I have the tools 🤣 omg yes, we remember you guys! You were the first people we had met that had watched us back at the start of our channel 😍😍😍 Hope you both are well x

Thank you for entertaining us lounge lizards, enjoy your trip and even when you feel gorged out ( too many to see) keep going to them we regret missing a few
Cheers and good luck for the rest of your trip
Thankyou so much! We will be packing as many gorges as we can in the next few days while we are here 😁😍
Thankyou for watching our travels ❤️
Love love love the daily updates :)
Thankyou so much 😍😍😍
love the daily updates and I'm soooooo jealous I'm sitting watching wrapped in a heated blanket and you guys are swimming lol
Hahaha yea its toasty here at the moment 🤣🤣
Thankyou for watching 😍😍
Good viewing Dude, however I am so glad I did it over 30 years ago, spent 3 weeks on the Gibb River Road and only met a dozen travellers. Did all the Gorges including a couple that were not on the map. Only had to pay a $5.00/night at El Questra. The rest were free. Safe travels.
Wow! What a change a few years make! We spent alot of money travelling The Gibb 😅
Thanks for watching 🤙
Another 1 bites the dust! Day 3, done & dusted!
We also watched your coffee machine in horror & glad it survived. Imagine, no morning coffees😢
The day wouldn't be the same. 😮
Sounds like nothing's changed with the opposite drivers. We actually passed a rolled camper on route to Drysdale when we went yrs ago & our mates travelling with us had to utilise the tyre bloke......😢his brand new Coopers didn't cut the mustard... Go the Maxxis Bighorns at the time!😉😂
Enjoy your well-earned 🍻 ❤
Tj would hate not having a morning coffee 🤣🤣
Oh wow! Yea, it's not great to see that we still have these people driving The Gibb that don't have any consideration for the driver on the other side of the road 😔
Lucky for the tyre man 😉
The leaf sprung sup is the way to go
Yea our leaf spring has taken us everywhere 😁
Nothing wrong with leaf springs, did the GRR in 83 with leaves, and again in 18 and 21. Complexity brings failure points. One suggestion, get a set of tyre pressure monitors for the van, can save you $$$.
Thanks for watching Mike!
Couldn't agree more, our leaf springs have taken us everywhere. Good on you for doing the Gibb that many times such a great adventure.
We did purchase tyre pressure monitors before we started the Gibb just to keep an eye on everything. Thanks for following our adventure 🤙🤙
Did the full Gibb River Road in a 86 Toyota Corolla 30 years ago.
We travelled the Gibb in1997. Camped whole way with stock ford courier and probably way over loaded. It survived. But we constantly came across a couple of pomy back packers in a little Nissan sedan painted in mad cow trim, did all the creeks and corrugations and on to Kununurra.
What an awesome effort! Legend! 🙌🤙
Just found you guys on UA-cam! Loved your videos. We will be following every day 👏😊
Awww I love this! Thankyou so much 😍😍
Hi, Thankyou for giving up your time to edit of an evening, it is appreciated. Hey we would be cooking outside on a wood stove, no way would we ever pay that much for gas lol. Stage travels🤗
No worries at all 😍
Hahahaha, we felt the same but we also debated that our fridge wouldn't work either... so we felt we had no choice 🤣😁 unfortunately lol
Great ep. That’s an expensive gas refill. I think we paid about $2.08 for diesel there, but that was in August of 2016.
Hahaha very expensive mistake made by Tj 🤣🤣 oh wow! How the prices of diesel and fuel have changed!
Really enjoying this batch of videos. Well done Leah for your effort every day for us subscribers. Hubby and I will do the Gibb when they seal it all the way 😂, in our dreams lol. Our only problem and not sure if it’s just us, is the your voices sound when you are in the Nissan, it’s quite low and we struggle to hear it. It’s good when you are outside no problem there. Oh and that Coffee machine was a worry when sliding around on the sink. Hope it still works ok. We have one the same just a different name on it, such a great machine, we may even take it with us on our next trip, so long as it doesn’t put us over weight. 😊
Thankyou for letting me know 😄 I'll keep an eye on that when I edit, I think it may be a combination of the corrugations and sometimes Freddie is asleep so we try to be quiet 🤣🤣 I'll be more aware of that 😄
Always worth bringing the coffee machine with you, very glad it stayed on the kitchen bench though 😅😅
@fivedownunder yes of course. Bad me forgetting Freddie. Gorgeous kids, need their little naps. Look forward to next video. 😀😀
Day 3 done and red dusted 😂. Wear that red dust like a badge of honour 👏
Hahahaha! The car and caravan will need a good detail after this 🤣🤣
Thank you for this content. Take care
Thankyou 😍
Yes correct. Faster the better.
Thats why cattle trucks go fast...
Better for the cattle. Be safe guys.
That's it Mick 😁 Thankyou! 🤙
Love the content guys! Was on the Gibb last year but the irony was it wasn’t the tour buses that concerned me, it was the road trains and…. You’ll hate to hear this but other caravan users! I was shocked at some of the speeds they were thrashing out. It was in the peak of the pandemic when the whole world seemed to have bought a van mind 😩 So it’s good to see you guys promoting care on our roads.
I’d be interested to hear if you’ve see loads of toilet paper around? I was devastated to see how much trash the masses had left in some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet. Im hoping it has started to recover now that the boarders are open and the “entitled masses” can get back to their hotels! Safe travel guys, look forward to your content each day 😍
Hahaha we haven't encountered any road trains yet 😅
Haven't seen much toilet paper around either! 🤷♀️ Yea that's not great is it! Horrible to think people don't mind leaving a mess behind 😫
Thankyou for watching 😍
A Shovel and more importantly, Matches or lighter, and burn off the toilet paper people.
When the tourists bus comes through at speed put both hands against the windscreen that should stop it from flexing
and maybe it won’t break
Great tip 😁👍
One of the best trips to do, we also went up to Kalumburu… only had a on-road jayco with the axel flipped…. Not even a flat tyre… just kept the speed & tyre pressures down
Safe tripping ! !
Aww that's amazing! Tyres are key aren't they 😁
Thanks for watching 🤙😍
Interested to know if the family in the Network RV Caravan has a travel Vlog Channel as our van comes out of the same factory as theirs and would love to see where else they have taken it too. Love this episode, really appreciate the effort you are going to for Real Life Updates in real time.
Awww thankyou so much, they are the Drew's Cruise on insta and facebook if you want to reach out, they said they'd love to answer any questions 😍😍
Really enjoying your Gibb adventure so far. Looks crazy busy but I guess that's the North West at this time of the year and wow $118 for a gas refill ...oops TJ lesson learnt I'm sure
Haha experience mistake wasn't it 🤣 I'm sure he will still forget next time lol! Thankyou for watching ❤️
Woo hoo 😂 go the Cannon 🎉
Wooohhh haha!
$130 for gas refil!!!
great episode guys keep it up
Omg I know 😲 insane money 🤣
Thankyou 😍
Liked the clip, been there a couple times, is expensive, just filled my gas bottle in Vic, $25, bit more viewing out the car would be good when travelling, how's your coffee machine looked like it was moving around a bit, nice work keep the good work up, cheers
We travelled with the coffee machine on the floor after that, it normally doesn't move at all on the bench but obviously the Gibb is a different road haha! 😁
@@fivedownunder we put ours in the shower with pillows, by the way semi off road might not cover the Gibb but you guys done good, as you say drive to conditions and your usually good, hope the weather is kind to you, cheers
Shower with pillows is a fabulous idea! 💡
Thankyou 😁
Is the GWM "Wheels by the ocean"?
That's them 😁😍
What is your ride height with the underslung leaf springs
Hey mate, 700mm 😄
Can we get more info on the cannon. Lifted, gvm upgrade, mods ect please
If you head over to @wheelsbytheocean on youtube they have got a few videos on their car info 😍
I noticed your coffee machine rolling around on the bench top while you were driving....dodgy...aren't you worried it'll fall off? We put ours on the floor next to the bed
Yes, that was a little dodgy, wasn't it 😅😅 it doesn't normally move at all! We have the TV arm that wraps around it and keeps it in place, just shows you what the road is like, we will strap it in better on the next crazy road 😄
Hi ya what make is the tug ?
Nissan Navara 😁
Why not just leave the caravan at Kununurra and enjoy all the places GRR has to offer without the hassle of having to worry about van damages, dust ingress, skipping places, etc.
Oh you definately could, but we bought our caravan to take it around the whole of Australia and we haven't had anywhere stop us yet, so yes, the dust and damages isn't the best but we loved that we took a challenge and went across the Gibb in our caravan! 😊
It’s an easy road if ya just travel at a slow speed I done it 5 times not one prob
It was an easy road yes, it was the worst one we had seen on The Gibb at that point though 😊
