HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO TRAVEL AUSTRALIA? 

Thanks guys. Had to watch twice as I may have had one wine too many the first time 😂 to understand the maths.

Some interesting insights. Caravan parks costs are getting ridiculous. What we have noticed after being on the road for 18 months is some of the lower spec caravan parks are trying to charge the same as a caravan park with a few bells and whistles. It’s a bit cheaky. There are some trying to be competitive but even though we are members of Gday and Big4 we find them on average to be 15 to 20% more expensive than a privately run park of almost equal calibre.

Well done you hit it on the head .the cost of living is and still going up in the big city 2019 it was around 500 to 800 per week for a family of 4 . We in joy you vids …safe travels

Great Video, we have been travelling since 2020 done 50km in that time. We don’t do a budget I just look at the bank balance after a year and that’s what it cost! So that include everything. We stop to work along the way to keep our lifestyle going.

My husband just told me that if you run a piece of fishing line behind the double sided tape behind the clock it will come off without damaging the wall

We thoroughly enjoy your episodes. Have finally caught up and have watched them all. You both crack us up. My husband has a question….what is the brand of your canopy drawers you have please?

Another really helpful video guys - liking the mid week series! Any chance of an episode on your camera and drone setup and tips for newbies wanting to capture their travels?

Great info... seems to be a good average $1000/wk to be safe.

Get yourself a pair of Archie's Thongs. I've 12 months in on mine, where them everyday and can't destroy them. They are like Zman Plastics, they don't break.

Deryck, I didn't notice a cost item of lost fishing lures? Richard

Great insight into the rough estimates. We budgeted $2000/wk with 2 kids for our 6 month trip as we just had absolutely no idea what to expect. So great to hear more opinions and we weren't to far off the mark.

next week…….how much money does you tube pay? any other income besides Sue working or rent?

Great episode again guys. Thank you. Question. Do you keep ahead of the bills with the work you both do? I’ve been travelling full time as well since august 2020 and am lucky enough to also work on the road. I’ve also just done my first farm stay/house sit in South Australia. Omg I’ve had 2 baby lambs born here during my stay. I’ve really enjoyed the stay/power/electricity/hot water…. I think I’ll do it again. Cheers. May see you on the road some time.

Wow! Thanks so much for that guys. As a bookkeeper, I appreciate the budget 👍🙏😊

DID DERYK SAY "FUCK ITS LIKE WERE GOING TO A HOTEL" ? 😂 😂

My wife and I look forward to seeing you both every week 🍷🍷🦋🌸 and why do you cover the clock 🙈😵‍💫 have a wonderful week.🍷🍷👍

Great video, great down to earth content, thanks for sharing.

Another great episode you both are soooooo funny. Derycks face expressions crack us up 😂😂. Stay safe guys Rod & Paula.

wow! informative guys! $450 p/m on insurances, are you sure? thats $5400 p/y 😮😮car boat & caravan yeah?

Love these episodes guys!

So about $5k a month - still good value if you ask me. Thanks for the budget info.

Hey guys been watching your videos for a few weeks now man you guys have alot to learn about living on the road your budget is really expensive my wife and myself have been living permanently on the road for over 15 yrs our budget is half of yours we spend a fortnight what you spend aweek things like phones pre paid 30 a month unlimited calls and text and free camp plus we travelled for 12 years with a dog sadly we just had to put her down but if you really intend to live this life guys please re think your approach it is way cheaper if you take a different approach hope to run in to you guys somewhere on the road cheers brett helen

Just watching this one... Its 12 months since you made it. How much more do you think it costs now in - july 24-.. Thanks ❤.. We retire at the end of the year and plan to do it ??? About 12 months till we set off.

Good Morning 😊 Thanks for sharing another great video and saying it as it is , HONEST 👏🏼👍🏼💯 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

thanks so much for this info. We're on the cusp of retirement and this info is very helpful (if a bit depressing). Can I ask what type of work you do that you can do remotely?

How are you guys generating income to finance your weekly expenses on the road? Aware you house is rented out (smart move) which i assume is covering your mortgage if you have one. I see a lot of young people on YT who are on the road full time (many with a young family) and wonder just how they do it without having fulltime/or even part time jobs to cover say an average of $60k to $80k pa expenses. I don't believe having a youtube channel (most on the road fulltime do) would generate much income unless your a celebrity. Selling the family home to fund a van & 4wd and hit the road especially with a young family, which is becoming more common these days does not sound like a wise choice to me - placing yourself out of the real estate market with the bleak possibility of never affording to get back in when the travel venture comes to an end. We worked hard to pay our mortgage off (with 5 kids now all working) and in that time the market value of our house more than trebled (now worth aprox $1.5m). We own our 4WD & Caravan with no debt and do lots of trips away but not fulltime on the road as i like my space and my mancave workshop with a hoist. Have explored most of Aust but in many different trips at different times vs fulltime travelling, but you guys seem to be having a blast as much easier than having kids on the road in a confined space- enjoy

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO TRAVEL AUSTRALIA? easy $1000 a week to do the lap

You guys makes us laugh keep it like that awesome information on Wednesday chat love it, and Bobby time😂keep safe, the clock where is??

What about finally getting the cruiser tuned so you can finally save on fuel ?

Great episode guys, really insightful and extremely helpful. Sue, would you please tell us what you do for a living? Thanks!

Interesting. Sounds like I can afford to stay on the road full time on the pension. I'm single and not towing a van. Also will be fully self contained within my 4x4. The pension is about $500/ week

Thanks for your open and very honest breakdowns, look forward to more very intersting shows.😊😊

Just wondering why is the clock covered? Great vid guys, look forward to them. Take care

We do 500 a week and been doing it for 6.5 years use are living it up

More helpful tips. We are banking on $1200.00 per week. We enjoy dining out and takeaway occasionally. We head off on our big lap in 3 weeks time. I'm a bit scared. Complete newbies We are.

This videos great! And your dogs funny as 😂

Thank you so much guys, another great episode and very honest.

Good one Folks. Our travel costs are very similar to yours. Not knowing the costs before we went on our first trip was a real worry. The only way I see you can reduce it is by staying in places longer. So why have you covered the clock?

Nice clock cover ⏰ 👍

We always look forward to your Wednesday episodes - we call it 'Bobby Time' as he is always the star of the Wednesday show. Even if he's outside he's always a delightful distraction and features strongly whatever your topic is - cheers, Kay

Outstanding episode- we just love these mid week episodes. Anyone seriously thinking about doing the lap should watch every episode

We booked a site in Victoria over Christmas, not coastal and its $83 per night!

Well that sounds about right what I have seen $1000 per week to live on a lap around Aus

How spoilt were we when we travelled in 2020😂 I remember when you paid $1.99 for fuel in kings canyon and we thought that was shocking 😢 Great video guys! You two are the best 🙌🏼

Aldi mobile plan is the way to go it rolls over month on month and it uses Telstra 😊

Thanks for your disclosure. Helps a lot. Continue your travels

Well done for covering all the items in your budget. We start our adventure at the end of July. This does help us as to what our costs will be. Many thanks and hope to see you both the road. Safe travels Wayne and Loretta

Do you budget for depreciation and replacing the car and van?

Another great video, love you guys.

That was really interesting. Thank you very much. My thoughts are your insurance is enormous, the food budget seems spot on, the fuel etc looks OK and the caravan parks charges are ridiculous. My problem is I am a smoker and a drinker so I think I am looking at $2000 a week. I think I am going to have to give up to afford the grey nomad lifestyle. P.S. You are not fooling anyone with the towel. The clock is still crooked. I see in the comments already posted that people are asking why is there a towel on the wall. You can't win😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂

Entertaining as usual 🎉😂 Have a great week x

Funny just wondering why you cover the clock

I've just had to watch an older episode to check out the clock situation 😂.

where was the steak and lure budget?

As a couple in NZ, we shop at the cheapest supermarket around, and spend around $300/week. Sounds a bit cheaper in Australia!! Fuel is also better there. Average fuel prices are about $1.80/L, but, we also have to pay 7.9c/km in road user charges! I can’t wait to get over to aus to do a lap! PS. Good work guys!

Thanks for being so open with your budget, great ep. And I thought the best part was the comment “still having a good time”.

BRIL IANT INFO THANKS. Also you two are great entertainment, thanks.

I have been wearing Archie thongs for years. I have two pairs that I alternate (the plugger is fixed so no mishaps there) I wore them 15 hours a day, 7 days a week as I couldn't wear shoes because of my back, when we owned our shop and still are wearing the same two pairs. The only thing I don't like about them is that if they get wet your foot gets a bit slippery in them.

Love the banter between you both 😂made the episode funny AF 🙌😂 thanks guys for great info

I’m loving these mid week videos guys, love all your videos mind you, keep up the awesome work and safe journeys!

Hi guys loved this episode we are taking off next week we are on a fixed income so this was very helpful we are really likeing these mid week episodes Sue you are the best love you one liners and laugh keep up the great work

So happy with the new cover green from blue i think it is hard to say what it does cost different for everyone another great video❤ you guys

thank you so much for sharing this. it now gives me an outlook on how things are and what to budget for.

Very informative episode, congrats. We started our trip 2 weeks ago and really appreciate your advice. Are you able to recommend/name any low cost camps around Exmouth? We are heading there in the next few days. Thanks again. 😊

Another great vid guys , thanks for the info. Just out of curiosity do you mind telling us who you are insured with and are the canopy and boat insured separately . Cheers 👍

Really enjoying you guys! For us we’re at the same amount for the 2 of us as you guys!
