It really is such a beautiful place. Cheers

Thanks for the info, so good to know that it isn't a weed. Will the blue berry on the plant eventually flower? It just looks so different to all the other flora in that area. Hope you have a great week? Sharyn

It truely is. Would love to go when the whales are migrating. Have a great week, Sharyn

Thanks Marg, look forward to seeing your video on the area. Just watched your video, great area to walk. I would love to check it out some day. Sharyn

Thanks Darren. Hope the Dragons do well in 2025 (guessing 2015 was good too) and for my peace, Cronulla have a decent season. Cheers, Sharyn

Hope you enjoy the Island as much as we did. I tried to put lots of details on what to see, how to react to dingoes, ect in the K'gari video back in July. It may be useful to you. Have a great holiday, I'd go back in a second if I could. Cheers Sharyn

Glad you found it informative. Cheers Sharyn

It truely was. Looking forward to next year and an even bigger trip. Happy New Years to you both, Sharyn

Oh gosh, what a compliment, especially from you who I respect so much. Hold onto your hat when we camp together - John is all about preparing for our retirement. Just cooking dinner and then I'll be watching your new video. Cheers Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans Thank you - the respect is mutual. I wish TH-cam would be fair with showcasing more smaller channels to help the camping community find us, as I believe there are many out there with genuinely interesting content. As for hold onto your hat when we camp together, I hope you are prepared to experience one of my signature frozen Margies. Cheers Marg

@@gibbosroadtripadventures Frozen Margies, my mouth is watering. Lets do it soon!

Hi Mark, We booked Punsand and Weipa six months before leaving. Punsand actually closes over the off season (for admin as well as operating) and as soon as they reopened in January we booked via email. Other people were getting bookings on the fly, but if you want the same campsite for a few days in a row (we did four) then you need to get in early. Some people we met had to wait at Loyalty for a few days before they could get in, another couple had to move sites each night and it was a juggling act. We were very late in the season visiting Undarra and Cobbold but we did take advice of other travellers and pre-book when we were at Weipa (I think it was a fortnight previous). Even then we had to juggle between the two sites and take what Cobbold could offer us. We have been told Undarra and Cobbold can have cancellation waiting lists in the prime of the season they are so popular. In the end there are always alternatives, it's just Punsand is the closest to the tip, has the swimming pool and the best pizzas around. That's why it's so popular. Hope this helps and you enjoy your trip up there. Cheers Sharyn

Thanks so much for the positive feedback guys. Not my favourite type of video to watch but I tried looking for one similar before we left and couldn't find one. I see you are back out on the road and cooking. Maybe we will cross paths one day. Cheers Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans definitely Sharyn, sometime this year would be great. Our first video from our road trip is up right now on YT. Safe travels on your next adventure. Cheers Marg

@@gibbosroadtripadventures thanks Marg, look forward to watching it tonight.

Welcome. Thanks for the feedback. We really had a fantastic time and I think it showed as we reminisced. Watching the video with family last night we realised that I left out places like Agnes Waters, the night was camped on a working sugar farm during their harvest and even the "Funny Dunny" campsite. I try to release a video each Friday but only if its interesting (no use releasing vids just for the sake of it). This Fridays will be all the campsites, and km's travelled each day in the order of the trip. That will be the last Cape York trip videos because I'm back travelling next week. Hope you have a good week and great 2025. Cheers Sharyn

So glad you got something useful out of the video. Could not make one so big every week. I'm still surprised Undara & Cobbold Gorge are not talked about more. I absolutely loved the area. Happy New Year, Sharyn

Wow, your trip sounds amazing. Hope you post lots of pics? I'd love to follow. Currently have my fingers crossed that John will retire and we can go to WA with no firm return date. Happy New Year, Sharyn

Thanks Dean. Happy New Year to you too.

Thanks Darren. If it's a Dragons and Sharks final we will definitely have to catch up somehow and watch it together! Fingers crossed John retires this year and we can do WA without the pressure of a return date. Cheers Sharyn

Happy New Year to you too. John's work was so understanding and immediately changed the leave, all he had to do was give them a certificate from the doctor. I'm hoping he retires and we can do WA this year without a return deadline. Sharyn

Good luck!!!! My hubby being act gov employee he just can't bring himself to do it. But we need a farm sitter as well before we can go.

@@moniquedoherty8831 wow, and I thought it was tricky finding a dog sitter!

Thanks so much for watching. John was so sure that he had the maths wrong on the economy for the van towing but numbers don't lie. I think the numbers have reinforced our thoughts that this van is the right size for us while we are towing with the Prado. Have a lovely New Years, Sharyn

John has followed Cronulla all his life and was lucky to be at THAT grand final. Hope you have a great trip and our thoughts help you along the way. Definitely think we will be back one day but probably WA for us next year. Cheers Sharyn

I know exactly who your brother is. Mitch great five-eighth.

@@johnhowell4475 Of course you do. Live and breathe Cronulla.

Thanks so much. Have a great adventure, you will absolutely love the area. Cheers Sharyn

Thank you so much.

Sounds like you have had a great time travelling Australia. Kimberly is on my list, hopefully next year. So many people commented that they want all the roads to the Cape sealed but I actually think it will change the experience. Have a lovely new year. Cheers Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans I have I did a lap in 1988, , Yes I agree, It will change for the worse for sure, The Kimberley and up around Kalumburu is awesome Thanks HYN to you two as well.

John will be so please to read your comment. Hope you and your family had a lovely day and the rest of the festive season. Cheers Sharyn

Merry Christmas to you, Steve and the family. I'm hoping you do a video on what you cooked for Christmas lunch. I'd love to watch. Cheers for the New Year, Sharyn

Thanks Jacob. Hope you had a lovely day and the New Year is a good one. Cheers Sharyn

Haha, we laughed when you named him Dicky Knee. Have a great Christmas Day and festive season yourself. See you in the new year. Cheers, Sharyn

Merry Christmas to you too. Have a lovely day.

Merry Christmas to you too. Have a good one. Cheers Sharyn

Thank you. Hope you have a great day too. Sharyn

Thanks Darren. We are so lucky we didn't turn onto the Oondnadatta Tracks, pretty sure that track would have finished what was left of the bolt holding the suspension. We are really looking forward to next year and seeing more of our beautiful country. I have my fingers crossed that John might retire (nothing concrete yet). Have a great Christmas break, Sharyn

Thanks for the Christmas wishes. Sadly John's mum has a long hard fight ahead of her but we were so glad that we could help and support her when she needed it. Saying that, I never need to drive over 2,000km in three days again - just torture. Have a lovely and safe Christmas. Cheers, Sharyn

Good to know. John is keeping a closer eye on that area when we travel. I'm glad Signature were able to help you out. Have a great Christmas. Cheers Sharyn

Thanks so much. All good in the end. John's mother has a fight on her hands but it's better knowing than guessing what might be. Have a great Christmas. Cheers Sharyn

Bookham, love the cafe there (near the highway). Hope you have a lovely Christmas, look forward to seeing your adventures. Cheers Sharyn

Thanks Harry. It was certainly tricky for a bit. While John is great with electronics, mechanical issues are a whole other thing. Looking forward to getting out and about in the New Year. Cheers Sharyn

Thanks for the good wishes. John's mother is still in the middle of fight but we have all the details now and that helps. We are home for Christmas with our three adult boys and that just makes us so happy. Have a great Christmas break and safe new year. Cheers Sharyn

Haha, John would so agree with you. Sometimes camping at the most simplest sites become the best experiences. I just love the feeling of isolation. Have a great week. Sharyn

Touche.

Been having the best time. The more we see the more we add to our list. Cheers

I am also ex puss - DDGs

I think we were lucky and keen to camp on our own after being at Yulara and Kings Canyon. Would happily camp at any of them again. Cheers Sharyn

We did see people bowling and it was pretty popular the day we were there. I didn't know it was to attract the Yanks - how funny is that. Cheers Sharyn

Hi guys, I do all filming on my GoPro, it's the original one I got nearly four years ago and doesn't zoom. I use Final Cut Pro and just "zoom" the actual footage. Can't do it too closely but it's enough. If I had my time again, I would look into a sony action camera. Cheers Sharyn

It was cold, rainy and windy when I was there but I do hope to go back in better weather. It's a beautiful part of the country. Cheers

Thanks Harry, bet the sunset was amazing at Lake Hart. Cheers Sharyn

Hi Hans, the walk is beautiful. I didn't see any tours groups specifically going all the way to the southern most tip. There are a few companies operating out of Melbourne who do tours to Wilson's Prom but not actually the walk. If you can, hiring a car would be the best way to get to the Prom and there are some lovely places to stop along the way and visit. Maybe the company that does the boat tour would know someone (just a thought). Look forward to seeing your pics when you do come to Australia. Cheers Sharyn

Thank you so much. Hope you have a great week, Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans We will , we are off to the Hunter Valley on Sunday for a few days with our adopted dog , travel safe. Cheers Jonno and Jez

@@jonnoandjez63 sounds great, hope the weather behaves.

Pls reply, Is it safe to go there on new year ? Going there from WA while camping on the way. Will it be safe as it’s too hot and summer time ?

@@natureandtravellover it will be very hot in the middle of summer. You should ask on the Uluru/Kata Tjuta National Park information site what will be open, if it's safe, ect. There are many signs indicating that some walks will be closed if the temp is too high, especially at Kings Canyon (they actually lock the walk gates). If free camping water will be very important and you should take more than you need.I think it could be uncomfortable with the heat but I've never done it at that time of the year so could say for sure. Good luck with your travels, Sharyn

Haha, his a good one but sometimes he lives in his own little world.

Hi Darren, I think I like Kings Canyon better than Uluru for the walks to be honest but the cost of the site was a bit off putting. I didn't put it in the video, but the camp kitchens we all just open awning spaces so in the wind they were useless and not useable. Also, the facilities were a very long walk from the unpowered section.. Still all that said, I'd go back to Kings Canyon, I just loved the landscape. Cheers Sharyn
