Fulltime Vanlife in Newcastle Australia

So I had a really nice bike ride along the coast from Merewether to Newcastle CBD...but didn't record it, thinking that I wouldn't really see anything all that exciting. The scenery along the coast of Newcastle is really quite beautiful, so I decided to settle in for a few days and do some more looking around.
I spent a fair bit of time on York Drive, King Edward Park which is a great section of road with fantastic views of the ocean. Perfect for whale and dolphin watching. Head down to the Bogey Hole to catch the waves crashing against the rocks. Would be a great spot for a swim if it wasn't winter.
I got hit by a couple of rainy days, but tried to get out between the showers to have a look around Fort Scratchley and the Nobbys Lighthouse. Followed up with a pleasant walk in the pouring rain along the Breakwater.
Keep an ear open for some of my vanlifer tips, recommendations and general experiences throughout the video.
About me:
My name's Jason. I worked as Mechanical Engineer until mid 2023 when I was made redundant. Never one to miss an opportunity to have more fun in my life, I decided to move out of my house and started living full time in my self converted Ford Transit campervan. I pass my days mountain biking, bush walking and generally exploring the beautiful natural attractions that Australia has to offer.

Hi Jason. I’m not one to do comments but felt compelled watching your videos. My husband moved me from California to Australia nearly 5 years ago and I’ve really enjoyed your videos as it gives me ideas where to go and what to see in Australia. You do a great job, please keep going and thank you!

I grew up in Nelson Bay, and for Uni & any major shopping, had to go to Newcastle. And I just realised that I've never once been inside Fort Scratchley. I've been to all the POI near it, but never inside it. While you're in Nelson Bay apart from the walk to Fingal Island via the spit you mentioned, I recommend you also do the Tomaree Head Summit Walk for a 360 degree view of the area. Plus also the walks around Fingal Head, Boat Harbour and Anna Bay. There is also great views to be had from the Inner Light (aka Coastal Patrol) at Little Beach.

Toilet Dump points. Try a urine separating toilet, but the type with a bag in the solids container. LIFE CHANGING 🤣 So so easy and never need to search for sewage dump points. My solids lasts for a good 2 weeks and you then only need any garbage bin to empty. Just tie off the bag, lift out, and find a bin. Urine container lasts 3-4 days and their easy to empty. I use a Trelino Evo ordered from Germany, expensive but worth every cent. In AU locally have a look at the new toilet from Jacoolta the "GottaGo" it can be used as either chemical or urine separating with a bag liner. The price is ground breaking for a good urine separating toilet ! $314
@MakingStuffGoingPlaces
@MakingStuffGoingPlaces Месяц назад
I'm definitely interested in the Jacoola toilet, only problem is the side opening valve that might not work with where my toilet sits. Need to do some more investigation....if you can swap the valve from left to right, it might be doable.
@elsiecater156
@elsiecater156 7 дней назад
I believe you will find dumping no 2 s in a bag in a bin would be ground on by councils and the hygiene codes, it is sometimes hard to find dump points but the vans is why they exist, wee should not just be emptied on the ground either I wonder why you don't know rules for human waste.

Emptying urine on the ground is something I would never do. Personally, I am even against peeing on trees......
@RVescapePod
@RVescapePod 7 дней назад
@@elsiecater156 Not entirely correct. Sewage dump points are there because traditional "chemical" toilets MIX solids and urine and then you have created black SEWAGE. Yes you must then find a dump point. Urine separating toilets do not create sewage. In everyday bins people dump a host "sanitary" and other items. Nappies, Dog and Cat Poo, sanitary and other household medical waste. When you have the solids container in a urine separating toilet and you mix each use with a handful of compost material to aerate it. The solids does not smell at all. Unless a local council prohibits cat and dog poo, nappies, and other sanitary waste, which they do not. Then a responsibly double bagged compostable bag with solids and compost material is fine. As for urine Yes you should dispose of responsibly in any toilet etc. However if your out bush then simply slightly dilute your urine container and it's good for trees, here is an ABC article on Urine as fertiliser for trees. www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-10/why-weeing-on-your-plants-is-good-fertiliser/100848746

I remember these times from 30 years ago, brings back the constant need to find somewhere to park and never knowing how long you can stay. If I was to do it again I would find off beaten places the van could get to and stay a fortnight each time. In a tank of diesel is the same energy as my electrical energy for 3 months in summer with the air con going 24-7 in a property, the energy used just to go somewhere far away without it being a way of life can be exhausting, people travel too far and the wrong places apparently looking at those full car parks, find somewhere you can fish and use it wisely.
@MakingStuffGoingPlaces
@MakingStuffGoingPlaces Месяц назад
I guess it all depends what you want or need to do. There's actually quite a few people living on the road that are still working, being totally remote isn't an option. Personally, I would get bored staying in one place for an extended period. Already done that for the first 50 years of my life 😉 You're right though, the worst part is finding good sleeping spots.
@antonyjh1234
@antonyjh1234 Месяц назад
@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces Also ideology versus goals, to some people staying in a place a week or so isn't really a long time and could be called slow travelling, some people have diesel to burn travelling each day and "the next place" becomes their goal. Finding spots and flat ones where you want to be, that isn't near people and drunks, almost impossible but great when they do come up.

I was a bit disappointed that we didnt see any footage of the inside of the lighthouse but Im happy your off to Nelson Bay which is where my aunt lives & also my mother lived i. Port Stephens for many years. There are lot of beautiful beaches and walks to do. 😁 there's great views from the mountain down past Sholle bay, ( wrong spelling ) & some military history on the other side of the mountain. Also The sand dunes are worth a trip out to. :) have fun. 😁

Great video again Jason. Do you have Wikicamps, that should say where (if any) dump points around. I really like Newcastle, only spent a small amount time there but nice town, lots to see. Shame about the weather, hopefully has cleared up for you by now. I also like the fact you move on if weather inclement, with the notion of going back in a few days...we don't always have to keep heading in the one direction, which is an easy mindset to fall into... flexability 👍 Looking forward to next video.

@MakingStuffGoingPlaces
@MakingStuffGoingPlaces 4 дня назад
Thanks. Most caravan parks that I've tried in the past won't let you on site just to empty your toilet, even if you offer to pay. The topic of emptying into toilets is quite contentious. Other than the risk of a blockage, no one has offered a genuine reason why it can't be done. I deliberately bag my paper to avoid blockage issues.

Do you find it hard to find in your van to find somewhere where there’s no other campers. I’m tossing up between a van or 4x4, when I’m travelling I don’t want to be parked right next to other campers. I like peace and quiet😊
@MakingStuffGoingPlaces
@MakingStuffGoingPlaces Месяц назад
Finding a peaceful place is probably the hardest part of vanlife. There's just so many people in Australia now that everywhere you go, there are other people. But they're not always noisy. Having a 4wd helps but then you tend to get all the 4wdrivers and they are very loud and quite often disrespectful to other people. I don't know how many of my videos you've seen, but if you watch a lot, you'll get a good feel for your question.

Basically we are legally parked, fully contained within our registered vehicles and within the parking bays. Unless there's a specific council bylaw saying no sleeping in vehicles, it's all good. With a caravan, you should be fine as long as you follow the same philosophy, but finding a big enough parking space will be harder. You might just have to drive a bit further to find somewhere. And don't go putting out awnings and and deck chairs. Even a step would be pushing it in my mind.

Curious as to why you think it's not acceptable to empty it into a toilet? And while there is a lot of info in where dump points are, there simply aren't any outside of caravan parks in most larger cities. I have asked in the past to use their dump points but most won't let you, even for a few.

My question was more of a challenge to the original poster to explain why they seem to have such strong beliefs on the topic. Good to see you have a genuine reason for this and you're right, there are people out there that don't think but also, unfortunately those that don't care. One thing I really don't like is people (not you😊) aggressively pushing their beliefs with no factual explanation as to why they believe they should be forcing their opinions on to other people. For this particular topic, there is no reason why a sensible person can't empty a cassette into a toilet. Contents are heavily diluted in the flush water and breakdown to a slurry pretty quickly when in a moving vehicle. The outlet of a cassette is smaller than a toilet S bend, so if anything is going to cause a blockage, it will block the cassette first. As you correctly added, each person has a different constitution, and this is my experience from using these toilets for 5 years with no issues with blockages. The other reason to NOT dump in a toilet is if it is on a septic tank or a pit toilet. In those cases, you just need to make sure you're using chemicals that are suitable for septic systems. However, the excess water added during flushing to cassette toilets, means the contents really shouldn't be put into a composting type pit toilet.
