Exploring Australia in a 16 foot off road van Camping, caravanning & 4WD the popular and remote places of this great country. We hope you enjoy the videos. Cheers Andrew & Lisa
Hi Jack, they are nothing special, mostly from Tourist shops as I like the indigenous art designs. I did buy some from Head Sox, that are pretty good. www.headsox.com.au/
Nice video. Hi, I'm digital marketer and SEO expert. I want to talk your RU-vid channels problem. Your channel has very few views and subscribers. I want to talk to you about this matter. Please give me your WhatsApp number. Thank you.
Hi Dianne, You're the second person to say that. I was starting to think I was losing my marbles, however, In the West MacDonnell vid, right at the end, I mention that next up was going to be Trephina Gorge and I showed 4 or 5 teaser photos, so I think that is what you have seen. There certainly hasn't been a full vid on this spot or even a big segment in another vid, not from us anyway. Thanks for dropping us a line and keeping us on our toes 👣 Cheers Andrew & Lisa
Thanks Accolades70, the best advice we ever received was "stop dreaming and start planning" It's a huge step, but you'll never regret it. Thanks for dropping us a message 👍. Cheers Andrew & Lisa
Thanks so much Jeff, glad you enjoyed the vid. It was a rare event, Lisa making the crossing without getting wet feet, lucky I caught it on film😂 Thanks for dropping us a line👍 Cheers Andrew & Lisa
Hi Jilly13bean12. I know I'm not as sharp as I used to be, but I'm pretty sure I've never put together a Trephina Gorge vid before this one, and only finished it last night so it's hot off the press. I did hint it was to be next up at the end of the West MacDonnell vid, so maybe you're confusing it with that one. Cheers Andrew
Hi Richard, I take it you are referring to the attachments on the deck of the board, they seem quite strong, I've not noticed any deformation in the deck at all when using the seat. You don't really put a huge amount of weight on the backrest. It is really just giving your back some extra support. The setup works a treat👍 Cheers Andrew &Lisa
Hi Linda, hopefully we can get to the Victorian coastline and then up into Kosciuszko country. Just need the rain to hold off for a few months over there. Cheers Andrew &Lisa
With Pondalowie Bay if you guys go into the camping area and then go into the housing area, you can drive up over the hill and onto the beach and go north about a kilometre where you can swim with big manta rays
Hi Dominic, finding music is the hardest part of putting the vids together. I subscribe to Audiio they have some good stuff but you still need to wade through so many songs to try and find the right fit. They have a new AI search that makes it a little easier. Cheers Andrew & Lisa

Hi Desmond, wow sounds like an amazing trip, you sure are covering a lot of ground and all the top spots. In August the flys should not be too bad, but I would definitely get a fly head net just in case, you can get them on line or any camping shop ( in Australia anyway). Regarding the walking poles, yes, definitely take one, they make the hikes so much easier. Good sturdy hiking shoes and quality socks are a must, you will live in them. The centre of Australia does get very cold at night but warms up after 8am, a good puffer jacket is great, light and easy to scrunch up and pack away. A light wide brim hat is a good take as well. It is very different country to what you are use to, dry and dusty but beautiful in its own way. Have a fantastic time. Cheers Andrew & Lisa
Desmond here thanks for all the advice I will write all that advice down and put it in my folder I have got a puffer jacket I need to get a good pair of outdoor socks I have woollen gloves I throw them into the suitcase I will get the cork hat over in Australia I have plenty of time before I get to the red centre
What a pleasant suprise this a.m. Happy,Healthy Safe Travels New Year Thank you for the Tassie vlogs - the info helped in my trip planning. Six weeks- 5,000 kms! Mother and daughter road trip - 4 in Tassie- what a state - life memories made and we patted a devil- Marnie was SO cute and soft!!😊 Thank you❤ 💙 Jan Adelaide
Welcome back Andrew & Lisa. Am so glad to sit down with a coffee and watch the start of another road trip, as usual you didnt disappoint us. Stunning scenery and some fantastic walking trails too. I see Lisa has not lost her touch at getting her feet wet and its only the first episode. Hope you have a fantastic journey full of happy memories, safe travels, David.
Hi! So nice to see you again. What a magic part of the country, landscape looks stunning. Your footage is beautiful. Wow you guys never stop walking, how is 10kms a recovery day 😂😂
Good to see you back again Andrew and Lisa, I remember going to Palm valley back in the eighties and there was nothing there but a Bumby track. Don't forget Andrew when your married everything is your fault.😂😂
Hi Michael, yes I'm well practiced in accepting responsibility for all evil. Sounds like Palm Valley has certainly matured, It is a top spot with great facilities, but still has that remote charm you look for, we loved it. Cheers Andrew
Hi Guys, Thanks so much for the warm welcome back. We have parked up the van for 12 months or so, but already planning our next adventures, we miss it a lot. I still have a bit of footage to meld into an episode or two so hopefully Ill be posting these in the coming weeks. Cheers Andrew & Lisa
Hi Accolades70, Yes the walking poles are fantastic, we never hike without them. They help take the pressure off your knees especially coming down hill and give you that extra bit of support on uneven ground. Highly recommend walking with one. Cheers Andrew & Lisa
Good to see you back. We were in the West Macs about 1 or 2 months after you. Your video brought back so many memories! Thank you. We are planning to head over your way to WA from mid January, so we will be watching your past episodes for inspiration. Keep up the great work! Regards, Peter and Cate (No Fixed Address Aus)
Hi Peter and Cate, Thanks, its nice to be posting vids again, How good are the West Macs👍 it is a great spot for sure. I hope you have a blast in WA. There are some amazing spots down in the South West, you'll love it for sure. Cheers Andrew & Lisa
Hi David, As I said in the vid, we don't mind paying when there are facilities of some sort and they don't have to be too flash, but when you get nothing and are paying over and above the NT Park Pass, well, then I question the value you get for your $$. Cheers Andrew
Welcome back guys has been a while we thought you must have gone back home to do that dirty word WORK 😅 another great video and hope one day to catch up again but in Qld safe travels Glenn and Leanne
Hi Glenn, We will get to Qld one day, It is on the schedule. We have settled back into the house for 12 months or so and will pick some work to build up the fuel kitty and hope to be back on the road in 2025... see you then 🙂 Cheers Andrew & Lisa
: ) yes there are all sorts of nationalities climbing those stairs that would be candidates for a session with a Defib. But you have to give credit where it is due and at least they are out there climbing mountains, hiking trails and having a crack, so all strength to them. I must admit, at the top of some climbs I was even looking for the Defibs .... just in case. Cheers Andrew
Thanks so much Graeme! 😊 Yes I have been a little slack since leaving Tassie, but I thought everyone would be well over my vids for a while. I will get busy and put something together shortly. Thanks so much for the support, it is greatly appreciated, and we are so glad you have enjoyed the vids. Cheers Andrew & Lisa
2 years, I do not think that's acceptable. I have the same blinds in my caravan and they are rubbish. Fishing line used to keep tension to blind and bugs enter from the sides of the flysceen/blind. Looking at replacing them with different brand.
Hi John, agree 100%, these blinds are not the greatest, especially when you head off road and start playing in the dust. If you find a good substitute please let us know I'd be very interested. Cheers Andrew
Sorry grassy, but we call it as we feel it, It was freezing for us, we come from a moderate climate. I think mornings at negative 5 sneek into the cold category in anyone's book.🥶
Hi Philip, you must have a sixth sense, I just sat down to start to put together another one. Sadley we are almost at the end of our travels, we are heading home in mid October and will probably have a year at home before we decide what to do next. I still want to get to Victoria and southern NSW so perhaps that will be on the cards in the summer of 23/24. Cheers Andrew and Lisa
