Australia looks like America with those gorgeous red landscapes… I want to visit once in my lifetime. 🏜️ ❤ from Indonesia

You guys invented a pretty epic looking pizza. Imagine all the goodies you could put in the hole!!!

Maybe a 4x4 Toyota HiAce Overlander might have been the go. Hope you let the mice out where they got in, and you didn't illegally emigrate any? Next time, you catch it all!

Good one guys,very well told,you both have got the right spirit,great SOH,which is i,m sure is a requrement for life let alone a big lap..as for the roads in national parks,they try to keep you out, so theyve got less to administer,theory one,two is,the repairs required keeps the small towns in business while your vehicles are being repaired,otherwise you,d be blowing past at 80 kmh and spending nothing,then the towns would wither and die. So theres much to be said for our friends the corregations of milla milla.hey?nicely done in good spirits,nigel youve got that anzac spirit and sue your a natural doco maker,its good your not a killer,those litte bush mice are just doing their best,and nigel,why was the pick up point in the fuel tank so high?,so you didnt have to fit an inline fuel filter?,next time fit a 250ml header tank at the heater,if its empty???every low mount tufbo should have an aluminium, half wrap heat shield fitted.get yoursel a couple of medium exhaust fill lift bags,ive seen them lift D10 dozers and 235 cat excavators out of bogs.many bags that is.they will save you one day.they take no room up,get the betterquality ones and patch kit.you guys did great job,very interesting and well done video,thanks.

Hi Sue your presentation in second to none

Very enjoyable, thank you❤❤❤

Now you know how the outback truckers feel every time do a delivery to the outback stations and the indegious camps so get over it 😂😂

The last thing I'd ever want to do.

Modern vehicles = Electronics , Limp Mode etc , totally unsuitable for remote areas . Old Holden 6 cyl red engines in the outback , carried spare ignition points , condenser , distributor cap , water pump , 2 laps of OZ no problems .

One thing I never add to my cost is food ,we eat each day so to me it excluded ,,

WA has it all!

I was surprised at $1000 a week. I was doing a budget of $400 a week. I think I need to re-evaluate. Thank you for all your videos and helpful ideas

Do you have the name of those mouse traps or a link to them. I'd *really* like to get a few of those!

I have mice in my house. Cleaning in crawl space- found porcupine scat.

Thank you. This video is really good.

The only thing that sucked in Australia is the government , dont look after the Aussie of our country,

What do you guys do for a living? Are you both retired? My partner and I are thinking of doing it but sailing as i cant be assed driving any more in life for recreation.

Hahahaha Tou should have done it years ago on the bloody SeaCat, she was a massive catamaran headed over to tas we had 6~7m Swell.... the way home they cancelled three times before they had to go, 12m PLUS swell, it was wonderful for me as a carefree kid, rollercoaster up and down, vomit splashing out from toilet bowls etc even the crew were sick. i loved it. sad they got rid of her, she was fantastic.

Your first mistake was using any euro trash vehicle.

did it pretty much all as a kid with mum n dad.... before things like gameboys, But damn j tell you what i fking loved it when the gameboy first came out, was a gamechanger for the boring as batshit 14hour + car trips. Id never do it again, id fly, rent car and enjoy driving.

Thank you. I always wondered what it was like. It is on my bucket list. 😊

Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to do these videos. Much appreciated. Amazed at your fuel economy - I’m getting 9.8 l/100km in a Pajero Sport with just me and a fat Lab cruising up and down the highway and a couple of gravel roads. Given your vans size and weight it appears that the fuel consumption you achieved is a miracle. Great credit to that Van.

The other option is to swim.!! Take your pick.!!!!

The spiders are pretty bad I hear in Australia.

Sue, corrugations 250ml deep is 250cm deep! I believe you meant 25ml which is 25cm deep.

gosh... are mice up there with the worst of it ? then Im in !!

WOW what a great trip and a magic spot , well done Nigal a great leap of faith 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I did a lap around western Europe in a camper van...with on board toilet and shower. Wouldn't do it any other way, without the toilet and shower. Without an on board toilet and shower, you're always limited as to where you can go because you're stuck to the route that has a caravan park or serviced camp ground so you have shower and toilet facilities. Plus, that's an extra expense you can avoid, with an on board toilet and shower. Plus, with an onboard toilet, you're not having to use sometimes filthy public toilets....which makes me constantly think, how do some people's toilet at their home look like. I just park up at night in service station truck parking areas because they usually never get full (Pro tip: Park so the rear of your van is at the rear of the parking space otherwise parking up the front of the space means you'll be hidden by a truck next to you and the next truck driver coming in thinks, "Oh, there's a free space", till they start turning in and see your van up the front of the parking space and this causes all sorts of dramas for them to then reverse out.) (Another pro tip: In strip parking, where the trucks park nose to tail. Only park there if you know a service station parking area is not near by or you must stop and rest for safety reasons. When in those places, ideally park at the top or bottom of the parking area, preferably in a spot where a semi could not park. Don't take up a spot between trucks that can obviously fit another truck. Sure, technically, you can take up that spot but it would be pretty annoying for a driver close to their maximum driving hours needing to find a park and an obvious tourist's van is taking up half a semi trailer space.) So when you wake up in the morning at your service station park up, you then drive to the pretty places you want to visit in the morning. This approach meant I wasn't struggling to find a park at night in popular tourist camping grounds. It also meant I always had a place to dump toilet waste ethically and fill up on water. You also have the convenience of the store attached to the petrol station. I also found that people at camping grounds were not nearly as quite as people at dedicated truck parking areas, which I found rude. Who are they to say a person is still not sleeping despite the sun being up or because it's still early evening.... ie: The bongo playing hippies.

Well I had to look that one up. Obviously my geography is not that good as I had never heard of Venuatu. Nice to have family in great places to visit 😊

fantastic promo well done

The best thanks Nigel and Sue

Hi Nigel and Sue, what a great entertaining video that was, so enjoyable to watch and Nigel dives to boot. The look Sue when you were tasting the Kava was priceless. It is such a beautiful place and I hope that your sister and her husband make a great success of the business. A great place for you to go back and visit. Stay safe and enjoy the next adventure, Nigel and Sue, Coen and Jay

So good sis ❤ love it

😅😂ha !! this reminds me of 1973, arriving back in Oz in Perth with £5, a 6 hr wait at the Norseman turnoff to hitch to Adelaide, eventually catching a lift in a 4 cylinder tin box running on 3cylinders at a stultifying 15 to 25 miles an hour. Those were the days. To relive the bordem we'd occasionally get out and walk alongside the car. Bonza!!

😂My personal suspicion is also that it's only a fairy tale of existing kangaroos 🤣 I have been to Australia twice and never saw one. Will return this November again together with my wife and give it another try 😊 Greetings from Germany

If you leave a couple of little solar lights under your van it should keep the mices away, they hate lights at night

The best environments are those you can partake in.

tell ya what guys, you make a great video and some of your trouble shooting stories have given me a lot to store in the old memory banks for when i possibly get out there 👍

shopping in kingo...

Sue, I'm a new subscriber and I'm so sorry about your debacle with the mouse. Ugh. You handled it so well though. Amazing. You're clearly very resilient. BTW do you have a link for The Legends Program? I'm very interested and would like to get credit for the referral. Cheers!

Another great vlog. Very adventurous living a wonderful life.

Boring

Still better than Victorian roads

Lol, you guys are having the best time, I love how you give everything a go. And Nigel, what can I say 😂😂 you're hilarious.

Wow that was fantastic!

I'm guessing that's Nigel in the red wig and bad glasses in the thumbnail.

Always exciting going to see different cultures and traditions. Think I'll give the Kava a miss though! The look on your face Sue, said it all!! LOL

Funny, I did some mad 4WD driving in a real wheel Cortina back in 1982. Nearly did not make it out but with some mechanical knowledge just survived. Later got that Cortina airborne due to a missing sign near Exmouth. Fuel tank came off but again could patch it to reach Broome for repair. Had a few tyres melting and had to make some compromising slow trips. Then with a new Corolla clockwise from Perth around AUS. It fell apart in Mount Magnet, later died in Fitzroy Crossing and nearly hit a Braman in the Territory all part of the fun. The worst was putting up with all them drunkyards all night when renting smelly old caravans. Later did the round trip anti clockwise in a very small 4wd van with light truck tyres. Yeah there were plenty of challenges lucky the Wikicamp app was not out so the ones who bought the book were very normal people. Even met some nice millionaires bushcamping. You have not missed much on Cape York. Too expensive with only 2 nice creeks on the way and up the cape you see abandoned luxury resort where the million dollar boardwalk is the common human toilet. Did Fraser Island 3 times, in a Subaru, then a little Daihatsu and 2 kids last in a 4 runner petrol testing my sand skills. Best of all is Tassie, twice in the small van lucky before the Wiki App turned the place into a mass grey nomad madness. We missed 2 dinners on a table when a rainstorm arrived just after cooking. Could still eat laying down. Little can stove together with a cheap induction and long cable did miracles when you could still find power points that are now mostly gone.

Gosh this video brought back some memories, such a great place, the people are so happy and relaxed like you said. Cheers Judy

Fun trip'n with ya.
