Hi Di and Sam. I’m so sorry you guys had to go throw this experience. It sure helps if you know there are people to help if all goes wrong. Both Grampians and murry is beautiful. I can see why both would be your favourite. But I think every place has a special memory if we want to be serious as each provides memories. Even when a memory is a breakdown you still find the good in it. The brown mountain ranges reminded me of the Dandenongs in vic. Your friends look to have a really beautiful property. Good to see you straight back into the garden. They are nice jackets. Looking forward to nexts weeks video guys. Glad you’re all home safe.

I’ve just stumbled upon your channel in the last day or so. What a great find! 🤗 Looking forward to watching some of your older homesteading content and also seeing your new adventures in the Bega Valley!🪴🕊️

Oh, I was on tender hooks hoping for a safe, problem free end to 'this part' of your journey. An exciting adventure. Glad you made it safely. LOTS of rain down here on the homestead, approaching 80mm in the last 48 hours. Will be great for the hay harvest.... (??). Much love, Susan.

What an epic adventure you have had, and will continue to have. Well done you two 👏 Welcome home. Look forward to seeing your friends property, and what you guys get up to 😊

Oh wow didn’t realise you came down the Brown! Well done - that’s hard enough in a car with all the work happening! I’m so happy to see the valley in the vids again. 💜 The enclosed gardens look awesome on that homestead. Looking forward to seeing more about their life and property.

So glad you and the bus made it safely home. The Bega Valley is not too shabby a place to rest up especially with summer here and some gorgeous South Coast Beaches just down the road. I'm jealous as I used to live just north of there and now here in Qld not looking forward to the humidity. Take Care.

Welcome home and great job driving down the Brown, I was anxious for you both lol

Hi ya Di and Sam good luck with the bus hope it is a minor problem , no more hospital appointments until next year, take care and stay safe cheers from Qld 🚎❤️

Hi Ya Di and Sam just watching now , not a cat person but always found it nice to have the dogs while travelling a bit hard sometimes but you get used to it🤩. Had hospital appointments last week ok , enjoy the journey. Take care and stay safe cheers from Qld 🚎🦮❤

So many things to consider. Loved this insight into dealing with pets. You have both worked really hard to help them adjust and love their new bus life. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs in our tiny home and it takes a lot of energy and organisation to sort out all the issues that come up. Every day I sweep up a whole extra animal in hair from the floor. We have pots of cat grass growing inside for the cats or bring bunches of grass inside. Our dog can get on the bench if we leave anything at the front and loves to eat the cat poo so we put a door with a latch on the bathroom leaving about 20cm for cats to pass through to their toilets but dogs can’t get in. We made the cats their own cabins by cutting a hole in the front of some cardboard boxes and putting blankets inside. Cat poo does have different pathogens. We put it with our humanure - my understanding is that it would need about 2 years breaking down the pathogens and shouldn’t be put near food plants - same as humanure. We are still looking for solid answers on this though so let me know what you find out.

I think plumbers, sparkies, brickies, concreters and roofing guys all deserve a big pat on the back

❤thanks

Hey, I stumbled upon you guys when I was looking for solutions to rust. I just bought a bus, similar but a little older and have leaks and rust in the windows like you had. I’m loving seeing other Aussie’s doing this, so relatable. I’m also into living the permaculture/homestead life and will be building my bus with as much recycled, second hand and repurposed materials as possible. Thanks for sharing and being so inspiring!

Well done guys, such a great take on how you make things work. Cat grass might be good for Freya, and putting the dogs bowls away will help with food guarding. I had to laugh at 14:27, Freya is like "I've got this feeling, somebody's watching me " 😂 You've created a great home on wheels for your fur babies.

I think you guys did an awesome job 👏 You definitely should be proud of yourselves 😊

I would love you Worcestershire sauce recipe

😂😂 Yep, been there!

Wait. Are you really traveling around Australia with pets? Aren't there spiders the size of small kids that will eat them? Not to mention all the other poisonous creatures you have there 😳 I would have visited the country years ago, but I am too afraid of freakishly big creepy crawlies

Sorry, but have you ever driven in a car with the safety belt wrapped round your neck? Can you imagine what would happen in a crash? Please, in the interest of your dogs, get two harnesses.

Maybe you can grow some grass in a pot to keep in the bus, and some catnip. Some people use a cat harness with a long leash so their cats can safely roam a bit outdoors.

try to live in a box from a fridge. With insects😂

Hi Di and Sam. She’s so cute. I do miss a purring cat about and you know I love your dogs. I love the show be your manners Di. It makes sense scratching her ramp. I wouldn’t leave food down. Where it’s accessible. It sounds like his resource grading. I’d only put food out when you’re there. Feeding them at the same time always. Cat nip grass for the cat might help in her own planter. I loved this video. I’ve not seen it done before. It was an interesting take and very helpful to those who plan to follow in your steps.

oh! no I can smell it from here. I must have finally got smellavission. 😤😤😤

Mistibushi had a fridge with 3 compartments which you could designate 2 as a freezer with a smaller fridge. Not sure if it's still manufactured though.

100% agree with you!! I think a man invented the fridge to keep his beverages cold 😂 A woman would have been practical and designed the bigger freezer space 😁

Ooh I’m going to head to Shepparton now that I know they have colourful cows!

what Cummins have you got back there?

crikey guys - hope you get it sorted 🤞. We had a fuel filter issues a while back (hope that's all it is for you guys) and the best piece of advice I got was to put an outboard motor hand-primer in my fuel line before the filter - makes it SSOOO easy to prime the lines after changing filters 👍👌

what's happening with the bus?

😮

You've heard of one door closes...this is one road closes...another one opens. Beautiful spot ❤

OMG guys - what a stunningly, dramatic journey!! Glad you got to the private RV park. Life here has been blah. Already had a uncontrolled bushfire 1.5Kms away, power outages and running out of water - and it's still only Spring. Hope you are happily back in Bega now. Much love, Susan. XX
