Everything Feels Different (Back To Where It All Began) 

You can thank the lovely Lisa for me finding you Guys. I've been having an Absolute BLAST ever since 🥰

​

Was soo good to spend time with you too, so glad we made it happen. Next time our paths cross we will have to get you out rock climbing!!

How do you find caravaning in Australia? I've been homeless in Sydney since July '22 and currently saving for a van to kit out. I feel like it can be more stealth in a van. I've heard campsites can be expensive, especially on the coast. Also, I'd love to meet up with you guys if you come through Sydney. I'm in the north western suburbs (Carlingford) to be near my son.❤️

There are sooo many beautiful free camps in victoria and tasmania. South Australia wasnt as good or Northern Territory for free places with facilities. I would be interested to hear your experience in NSW when you do it. You can basically go live for free in Tasmania, alot of their campsites have a 30 day limit, in Victoria its usually like 72 hours so you would have to move a lot more often.

🤣🤣🤣 classic Keely haha

"You sometimes regret a sunrise"

You defo regret one in Ireland because you wake up at 4am and it's all cloud 🤣🤣

Good afternoon Lynn! 🥰🥰Hope you are well

@@phillyandkeely i am fine thanks making pancakes for my lads xxx

@@lynnrobertson9386 yummmmmm!! Put me in the mood for pancakes now 🤣🤣 enjoy

Thanks so much guys, yeah Steve is an absolute Legend 💪💪 and his mechanic Andy who who did the work on Dingo, very impressed he salvaged that headlight! We are in Oz right now yeah, but our visa is up in less than two weeks, but we are a couple weeks ahead on videos.

@@phillyandkeely he is indeed! And yes dingo,s headlight is fixed 😅 haven’t slept since it broke 😂 oh only a few weeks left in oz 😭 well I’m sure your make your last few weeks amazing! I wish we were there it’s 🥶 here 😂 we’re be there soon 🇦🇺🙌🏻 anyway be safe have fun catch you guys on the next episode takecare 🙌🏻🤗🇦🇺

Dingo is much smaller than Martha, so better turning circle. But maybe I will brave her on the open roads! I don't mind motorway driving in her, but small towns is semi stressful haha

I know what you mean , I’m not keen in even driving a car through busy city’s or tight country lanes ! See you next time x

Thanks so much Michelle ❤️❤️ love that you plan to take your cat with you that is my dream 🥰😻 really appreciate you commenting, I will add a comment to the IG post on your behalf haha.

🤣🤣 in Ireland you do cuz it's always cloudy and you never actuallys ee the sun haha

Aww guys we were just there! Wish we had known ❤️❤️❤️ the free camps are incredible there aren't they!! So so special.

@@phillyandkeely oh no what a shame would have loved to have said hi. Have a wonderful time in Tasmania. It really is spectacular especially when the sun shines . Take care and keep up the great vids 👍❤️

Thanks Mary 🥰

Hey Kellie, thanks so much ❤️ we did do the great Ocean road, it was one of our first travel videos leaving Melbourne 🥰

I have actually not had any of these issues you talk about and I've been living and travelling full-time in my caravan for almost 5 years now. I never have to park the whole rig in built up areas as I only go out after I've set up camp. I only book sites just before I get there as long as it's not in a major tourist destination and there are lots of free campsites. I have a hitch lock on my caravan and security cameras for when I'm out and about and prefer to stay whatever the maximum stay is in each place I like (usually 30 days) in remote regional locations. 😍

That's all great info to be aware of. I suppose it's the same in UK which is why you never see random caravans parked on side of street 🤣🤣 depends whether you are happy to set up base camp and travel from there I suppose. I think we are vanlifers at heart, but defo tempted by a bigger van now after tiny dingo haha

@@lisawanderess Ok but are you saying much different? i.e. Unhitching, going into town in the car, leaving caravan on the site is the same... Unless you meant you feel safe doing that and haven't had break-ins, but that will depend on each area. e.g. Copy and paste this into Google: "How a night at Fitzroy Crossing left two young travellers bloodied, bruised and frightened" - I know it's cherry-picked but I read a lot of negatives about caravan and other camping areas saying the same things occur in various remote towns, especially in the NT. I live in a completely opposite kind of area, a medium-populated beachside tourist town, plenty of infrastructure like stores and police, where caravan park fees are high and booked out months in advance - and even here the theft of pushbikes and items from vehicles is commonplace. There are plenty of free sites in small or remote towns, but I had most tourists in mind, who stay a few hours, maybe overnight, then pass through on their way somewhere bigger with "stuff" to do. Most of those places are coastal, so have high demand and long waits as you said, "as long as it's not in a major tourist destination and there are lots of free campsites" - it's those places I was more referring to - major, or even just average tourist areas in peak season and either side of it. I'll have to get Wikicamps with my next phone, but there's plenty of places with no free sites too. Every now again you hear of sone closing due to abuse too - people leaving rubbish, pooping on the ground with the used toilet paper. Then there's the grey nomads with their $120K mobile cassette toilets who clog dump points with their (not) "flushable" wipes. It soon brings on closures, increased fees, or fees where they were none before. Populated or heavily populated areas don't seem to have many free overnight parking/camping. e.g. Every few months I see someone in Facebook camping/motorhome groups asking if there are any free camps between Foster, down through Newcastle and into the Central Coast areas of NSW. People reply listing only 2 or 3, none are close to the actual areas the people want to be, and iirc one is just a short lane along side the road a bit north of the town "Raymond Terrace." So those people are asking for a free site near Newcastle but there's only Raymond Terrace which must be about 40 minutes away. No-one would leave their caravan there to walk along a Newcastle beach 30-40 drive away, go to dinner, or see a movie. I was watching a video couple of days ago, a guy who leaves home in his ute on weekends to make overnight youtube videos. He went to a free site, basically was just a grassy paddock, it wasn't a populated area, but had a time limit of 7 days. Anyway... I'd like to live how are, but be able to drive into towns like Port Macquarie, Taree, Newcastle, Gosford, Bateman's Bay, etc and I'd love the room a caravan provides. But I also want to be able to park in/near and walk into a ColesWorths or Bunnings, sit inside my home to read a book or practice piano, fish/swim/sit at the beach, all in view of my "home" and without paying fees just to park inside someone's fenceline (when there's a perfectly good road my taxes paid for on the outside). ;-D Personally I think vanlife is too small/restrictive long term unless touring another country cheap like Philly & Keely are. For more long term living I'm considering a pantech truck on a car license. It solves most problems. i.e. Self-contained, composting toilet, sink, shower, full size bed, lounge, plenty of solar roof space, can stand up inside, desk for a laptop/digital piano, and can park in view of the beach or supermarket and "stealth-camp" at night wherever a car can park. In free camps there will be room for visitors as you have, and in towns people wont see a $$$,$$$ motorhome and think "people sleeping" and "valuables begging to be taken." Still not 100% decided though. May I ask, do you come across many free campsites, where people tend to stay long term, get to know each other, look after each other's property, etc and if they do have to leave after x days, they either return a few days later for another block of time, or many of them move between a few sites, thus running into the same people?

@@phillyandkeely Small pantech/box truck... Car license, park mostly where cars can, luton peak for double mattress, lounge, toilet, shower, wardrobe, kitchen sink/bench, a lot more solar roof area, a lot more water storage, split system aircon, and... put a clipboard with pen on the dashboard and yellow reflective safety vest hanging from the passenger side head rest for nighttime stealth parking. Upgrade a level by putting lettering on the side with a fake number and some kind of business no-one would be interested in risking gaol for if caught thieving... like "piano removals" or "hay delivered 2U" etc that screams "Mostly empty truck." ;-D

@@realfamilyman all excellent advice thankyou 💪💪 defo dreaming of that extra space ❤️❤️

Thanks Tomas 🥰🥰
