I've drove from Cairns to Weipa a couple of times in 1977...79 when I worked for Comalco mining in Weipa. There was nothing at the Archer river then & the road was dirt / gravel all the way. I put a couple of photos on your FB post yesterday, tackling the Archer in my 1977 Sigma car. Great fun
Congratulations, you deserve all the audience you get. You put so much work into your episodes. Also appreciate that you are a family friendly program. God bless you keep you safe and bless your future travels. 😊😊
Good Morning 😊 Congrats on your 200 episode 🎉🍾 Always a pleasure watching you guys 🤗 Thanks for all your travels and adventures 👏🏼👏🏼 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
Congratulations. I remember watching your planning video and when you bought your first car and caravan. You have all learnt so much and experienced so much and still more to see. Thank you and keep up the great work. Well done Paul Katie and Jasper.
200! Wow, you guys are awesome and so grounded having this amazing lifestyle. Jasper is one lucky little guy. We have watched from day 1 and are now almost fully set to go on our own Oz adventure when retirement happens next year. You are an inspiration. Cheers.
We love your channel. You inspired us to live our dream… now we are on the road in Australia, following partly in your tracks too! Caroline and Jorge from Germany
Hi from New Zealand. Happy I think 51st Birthday Paul . Yes what a great prize for your 200 show which will be a great prize for your Australian punters to win . I have watched just about all of your shows from last Christmas to now and you have learnt a lot in the last 4 years. I am looking forward to seeing the tag along 4wd tour that you are doing. The closest that I have been to where you are is Cookstown. Keep the happy trails going, Thanks Jono P
Cheers Jono P 🙏😊💙 how good is north Qld! Cooktown is a special place and the tag along has made us feel a lot more comfortable and confident with it all that’s for sure 👍🍻
Enjoy watching your vids from your very first one. Congrats on 4yrs on the road and 200th episode. Unfortunately a lot of the places you go to are inaccessible in our FA25.1 Motorhome but love watching your travels. All the best Katie, Paul, and Jasper.
Well done guys on the 200th episode !👏👏Really enjoyed this video and looking forward to upcoming videos on the trip to the cape. Keep up the great work .Stay Safe. 👍👍🍻🍻
I have watched you from the start and was setting up to be another one of those grey nomads my retirement dream as long as I can remember brand new Ranger Wildtrak new Caravan had the shakedown trip and then broke my ankle , 12 weeks later I was preparing to leave on the Sunday but on the Tuesday before my right knee which needs replacing collapsed and slammed my left leg into the concrete as I was getting into the Ranger and snapped both the Tibea and Fibula in half I have been advised that at least 3 years to get to just walking without a frame so had to sell the car and van so now I am unashamedly using yourselves to live my dreams vicariously through you and wish to thank you for keeping a silly old man interested in living I have flown around and worked in most major spots in Australia but now I am going to use you and the family as my eyes and wish you everything good that can happen because as a great example of a very good family you deserve it
Woop woop 200! 🥳 and I have been glued to your Chanel since discovering it. And who wouldn’t love the opportunity to some goodies. Esp from your Chanel. I will admit using the ‘Feelgood’ code on a number of occasions! 😅 Happy and safe travels team!
Congratulations guys for sharing your adventures in 200 episodes. We enjoy and get so many hot tips for making our little trips in our caravan easier. Can't wait to see you on the road to say thank you for giving us inspiration to plan our big lap trip cheers guys
Congratulations Katie, Paul and Jasper on your 200th episode!! We've been along for the ride since your early days too. We love watching and traveling along with you. We're settled down for a year after 18 months on our lap, to spend time with our adult children and are working again to top up the kitty :-) but planning to head off again next year. We always watched your episodes as we did our lap and continue to watch them to keep the dream alive!! We also now dream of an upgrade to a Zone caravan!! Thanks for the great content, you put together a fantastic show each week and the competition sounds amazing, so wonderful!!
As usual a fantastic blog very informative 20 years ago when we went up to the Cape they were taking about sealing the road all the way to Weipa 😂 it would of been great see see and hear an interview the uncle about his life and thoughts on life
It’ll be another 20 years before it gets even close I think 😅 - you are so right, we needed more time with him….. stay tuned he (Mawalan) has invited us to Arnhem Land for a few weeks of cultural immersion we will definitely do an interview if granted that would be amazing - that will be sometime august 2024 👍👍
Congratulations on your 200th episode, been following you for about a year or so now and love watching your chanel. I know I've missed heaps of episodes in amongst the 100 or so that we have watched, bit difficult finding them now
Wow!! Thank you for the support x we now have all the episodes linked on our website in order of ‘Seasons’ if you are looking for anything particular 🙏🇦🇺💙🏕️👍🍻🕺
A huge Congratulations to you all Paul, Katie and young Jasper. Absolutely fantastic and love watching all your adventures. It's amazing to see this beautiful country of ours, in all of your shows. You do an incredible job touring this beautiful land and hopefully I will get the chance to see some it in person myself. Keep up the great filming and keep enjoying your life on the road. Can't wait for the next episode. Good luck and happy travelling.
Congratulations to you all Paul, Katie and Jasper on your 200th Episode. You certainly do a fantastic job on showing all of us our beautiful country. I love watching your videos and it all started watching the build up of your canopy. Keep up the great work and safe travels.
Congratulations on 200 episodes. I have loved every one of them and look forward to the next 200. I remember seeing a first episode, hitting a subscribe. Before spending the next week binge watching to catch up. I love your format and music selection. It has been amazing to watch Jasper grow up each episode. Looking forward to your Cape trip
Congratulations on your 200th episode. My family have tuned in to all of your adventures. You’re all so inspiring. I absolutely love Jasper, what a lovely little boy he is, he’s a credit to you both and wow, what an amazing upbringing. Thank you so much for all the entertainment and inspiration. You’re all awesome 😎
Congratulations on 200 episodes guys!!! Love the videos - keep up the great work/fun sharing your travel experiences with us all! I also find the MSA products to be of great quality and value for money accessories, I particularly love their all in 1 incorporated tow mirrors (look like standard mirrors when set for every day driving) that slide out further when towing boats or for work trailers and then flip 90 degrees to go even further out to tow the van ! Very interested in your trip to the Cape - went on dirt bikes with some mates years ago and enjoyed the adventure very much and now keen to take the whole family up to let them experience the Cape as well! Can't wait! Thanks for sharing your very professional (TV ready) vlog experiences with us!
Congratulations on your 200th episode. You guys should be so proud of the informative and entertaining content you deliver each and every week. We'll done
Loving the music selection on this episode! Katie you are braver than me, have said no to the cape York trip for a while, seen way too many rigs on the tow trucks heading back
Looks like an awesome trip. Always great going to places when the majority of travellers are heading In the opposite direction. Would love to win anything lol. Canopy would be the ultimate. Thanks for giving us all a chance.
Congratulations on your 200th episode Paul, Katie and Jasper! Really love your channel, and this episode was amazing too! I have done some of the Cape on the PDR up to Iron Range NP, so remember all those stops you made along the way, but gosh the road is looking in even better condition than it was 20 years ago, even with the dust and corrugations! Archer River roadhouse has expanded and when I went up the PDR, there was no bitumen at all.. just dust and corrugations and river/creek crossings! Corrugations were tough going for sure! In some ways I would like it to remain a little bit like that, because otherwise it is too easy if everything is bitumen, but on the other hand of course bitumen is much more tolerable and comfortable and allows a greater number of people to travel to this vast incredible area, but we want it to remain a little bit special and unique to other places in Australia too, with fewer travellers I guess. You will adore Iron Range, Chilli Beach, Lockhart River and Portland Roads! Looking forward to seeing this area again next week through your eyes! Safe travels :)
Thank you and totally agree. We need to leave some of these journeys challenging !! Loving every moment of this road trip x thank you Jo for your continued support 💙💙💙
I've watched everyone of your 200 episodes and have really enjoyed following your journey. Congrats on your milestone of your 200th and here's to many more to come!
Congratulations ! 💯💯🥳 Love your channel and thankyou for all the informative information you give! Our start to travel has been delayed (New van not quite ready) ! Hope to catch you somewhere in the great outdoors! Its 9 yrs ago we did this great adventure and would have been at Weipa now and at the tip on the 29th Sep ! WOW WOW The roads have definitely Changed ! Stay safe !
This is my favourite episode so far! Definitely keen to keep following your journey but also mega excited to see what this giveaway is!! Can’t wait to see all the details about that and what you guys do next!!
Having done the trip to the “Tip” in 2017 but leaving our van behind at Mt Carbine , we are really enjoying your trip and tips and all the great info that you put up in your videos . Back then there were heaps of road works going on with no bitumen lengths at all . We are planning another lap next year (from Perth) and are considering doing the Cape again this time taking our caravan (which is not the one from 2017 ) which is the all electric (ERV ) van we picked up in Melbourne earlier this year . One question …… did you have the famous Archer Burger ? From Archer River RH . They are just sooooo good . Looking forward to next week’s instalment .
@@TheFeelGoodFamily The Archer Burger was renowned back when we did the Cape in 2017 from the cafe at the campground at Archer River . No croc , all good quality beef pattie and all the usual burger trimmings but huge and so delicious . We stopped the there on the way south and yes , we will probably do the drive again next year . Congratulations on your 200th Episode , another wonderful video as are all the previous ones from day 1 . Continue to do what you do and how you do it .
So good! The only bummer was that the amount of roadworks at Archer Roadhouse deterred everyone from having a dip in the river…. Apparently no crocs… 😅🇦🇺👍 thank you again and happy planning and safe travels 🏕️🍻
Always love seeing you adventures and your beautiful faces. Do you think there will ever be a tag-along trip including all the travelling RU-vid van families? Would be a truly epic coming together of awesome people 😍
I think @XploringOz and @SmartTouringSystems would be an awesome fit for you if you do it. You three are my fave channels. You all take so much pride in your presentation of videos and include your family in the most amazing Aussie adventures.
$2.16 per litre for diesel at Hann River!!! That's cheaper than here in the big cities and just shows us all how much we are being ripped off by the fuel companies.
☝️☝️☝️☝️Been following you guys from the get go enjoyed every episode since the beginning. Such a pleasure to watch. Sometimes my wife can’t sit down and watch on Sunday arvo, due to my shift work but we always find time throughout the week. Keep the episodes coming, we’ll keep watching for another 200. Congratulations on the 200th episode 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Cheers
Great episode again. Question re tyre pressures when going between sections of dirt / corrugations and bitumen. Do you keep them low the entire time or constantly increasing and decreasing?
Great question! Yes we leave them as the distance between from here on in is more dirt than tar…. We just slow down average 80km on bitumen - this was the recommendation from our 4x4 instructor 👍
We don’t actually use ‘Spotify’ music… we pay a commercial music licence through epidemic sound (approx $900AUD per annum? (link in our description) we then see if the songs we choose from epidemic sound are available to listen to on Spotify and let people know where to find the artist! We don’t actually need to do this however, we just do so that the artist can be found and this also a way for us to give more recognition as well 😊👍🕺
Hi David, the ferry price has gone up for 2024 - single vehicle return is $130 - payable by eftpos at the check in store located at the ferry entry point. Vehicle with van in tow is now $205 return. We’d always recommend having a few hundred dollars cash available as services do go down from time to time 🙌🇦🇺💙🍻 safe travels
Great question! We keep the pressure the same as it’s far more dirt than bitumen from here on… we average 60-75kph on dirt and 80kpm max on bitumen- the tyres heat up to 28psi approx - hope this helps - this was our 4x4 instructors recommendation 👍
Hi John, we have a twin compressor installed on the 79 - that gives us the option to inflate from both sides of the vehicle easily….. interestingly, it has recently failed and is getting replaced next week with a new twin compressor…. The brand is ARB 👍🏕️🍻
I used to watch but I don't think I can stand it any longer. Two and a half people, especially the missus, who have Superglue smiles and grins throughout entire vids. It is so unbearable. It turns me to drink. Good luck but it's just TOO Fake for me. Maybe it's your sponsors who wish this upon you. Gone forever.
