After our eventful trip to Drifta to have our drawers fitted we'd decided we better test out the Jayco Crosstrak properly and head for Cape York. We left Gloucester and headed for the mountains.

Cool Ep Guys to a awesome place, Love the cape
We do too now, will definitely return again!!
@@outbackadventurefamily Thats the way , I been up 21 times in 42 years ,
I think you were at Bramwell Junction. The station is further South. Nit picking , I know 😅. Last time I was up there in 2015, caravans were quite rare as the road was pretty bad. Looks great now. Loving this adventure 😊😊
Yeah good pickup, we didn't know at the time but yes we were meant to say juction roadhouse... bloody victorians haha
@@outbackadventurefamily hehehe 🤭

Nice family ❤ you guys keep it up an i really enjoyed watching and enjoy your lives
Awesome episode
nice to see real family life action - not some melodramatic attempts at the exciting - thankyou
So glad car is ok now . Thank you for sharing
I’ve changed a couple of them. Easiest to remove air box and battery that side. Mongrel job on a good day. My original alternator lasted 250k next one went 200k. Repco one in there now doing well. Good job, boys 😊
@@MickBurns-ev1nn we lucked out and had a cloudy day at least. So we weren't roasting on the ground. 🤣
Good to see the car fixed
Nobody was happier than our 2 fly in guests. :)
Forgot romper room made a come back. Very hard to watch you.
Been loving your channel keep it up 👍
Hello John. I notice in all your videos you don’t have towing mirrors. I have heard other people say that as the Crosstrak is a narrow caravan 2.06 metres, you don’t need towing mirrors. What are your thoughts? Also is it a legal requirement to have towing mirrors even if you don’t need them for a narrower caravan.
I'm not sure on the legal side of things but I can see down the sides with the standard mirrors on the 100 series but our 80 series Landcruiser on the other hand would need the tow mirrors being a narrower vehicle. I've done hundreds of thousands of km with a tool trailer and never had tow mirrors so I can't see this being any different. Thanks for watching!!!
Pick ours up in Ballarat tomorrow. 2021 Ford Everest. I to have towed many trailers big and small with no mirrors. I reckon I will be able to see enough without mirrors but carry them just in case. Thanks for your videos. Good practical advice.
@@darylhodson81 No worries, congratulations on the new van. The Everest should be wide enough. I chuck a tow mirror on every now and then just for tight caravan park sites.
@@darylhodson81 and definitely move the stone guard all the way back on the drawer bar otherwise you'll break a taillight
sorry didn't understand the vid all you done was drive airport scene and roll up a swag ps the young guy that reckons he is over 2 metres tall {6ft 8in} tall is kidding himself
Hope you get it sorted
Thank you for sharing
I was right! Well almost right...........except for the whole Ben thing! Sorry Sam!
We did have a good chuckle.....lol
Of course you laugh at and mock their struggles, like rolling up the swag. That’s what families are for 😂😂😂😂. Another great video guys. Thank you 😊
So true. 🤣
And thanks for sharing epic episodes it makes days much respect
Is that 80 series Land Cruiser
Nope that's at home. This is the 100 series 1HDFTE 🙂
God bless the 80series 🙏
keep it up you guys much respect from Pakistan
Thank Christ we did our Travelling when it was a bit tougher, and Bugger all Traffic.
2 years ago someone had a " washing machine" Was a 20ltr bucket with lid fust add water tiny bit of detergent lid on and shake bucket from side to side ect
Bringing back memories
My can’t you take the shells
I have been to the big mango . Nice of you helping those people. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the trip
Was funny watching Pheobe in trying to keep her head as she slept in the car. Hopefully, there are no sore necks. Does Pheobe do school on line?
@@michaelhay3621 Phoebe did extra schooling beforehand and does a mixture of online and printouts for schooling. 🙂
As soon as Pheobe said "it's a bit of an annoying surprise!" I guessed it. Would your son, I think it's Ben, be flying in?
It’s been seven days since this post where are you ?
@@SuzanneMonty-tp7zk Struggling for service up north to upload videos but will get the next one up by Thursday 🙂
Iwpuld havetried to get the van ans step closer to the slab. Did you check to see if its level b4 unhitching?
@@Mick_4591 we think we've advanced to 2nd year apprentices after this video 🤣 thanks for the tips. 👍
At the start ofyour video it looks like you and other's are parked in a trucking area for long vehicles ??..
But what damage has been done to the tow bar from the shunt in the rear?
I hope you enjoyed your stay at Bargara, Bundy is my home town.
The beach was great and it was the first time us Victorians started to feel abnormally warm..🤣 Thanks for watching!
Grate show notch point look good to will go there for sure keep up the grate video
ooooo! You are naughty leaving us with yet another cliff hanger! I'm torn between thinking that it's just someone getting bogged or you being woken in the dead of night by a terrified woman escaping a "Wolf Creek" type situation!
Hurry up I’m on the edge of my seat damn I need more !!! Next episode pleaseeee
@@ashleymartin7686 It's tough with not much internet to upload. But we'll get on with it as quick as we can. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Such a surprise to see this episode pop up. Well done telling John to point tĥe camera at the view. Where was the caravan park? Very crowded but as you said, it was close to the water. The free camp was stunning.
@@dotwillcoxson5352 Caravan park was Bargara in QLD, Glad you enjoyed it.
Don't travel in the early or late hours. People are tired and make mistakes.
Thank you for sharing Bringing back memories of our travels
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing
pickup our crosstrack tue same as yours love the vids- wanted to ask did you have to pay extra for the draws on the outside next to kitchen pull out- the dealers demo model didn't have them. cheers
No the drawers were fitted when it arrived and we are glad they did. They've been so handy. As was the compartment on the back wall next to the shower. Hope you enjoy yours as much as we do ours. 🙂
yes hopefully i know it has the shower thing, will be taking it up to lake burrumbeet for a test/maiden next weekend hopefully all goes well.
Looking forward to seeing you in Gympie! 👍
Really enjoying your videos. It is hard to hear you speaking over the noise of the engine but fine when you are talking into recorder. Thank you for taking the time to film for our enjoyment.
Walcha pronounced Wolka and Uralla is You-ralla. Hope this helps.
@@davidcurry5628 We need all the help we can get. 🤣
You lot are the real deal as Ozzie as it get man love it keep it, and now will be waiting for the next video 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the kind words. We have fun putting these videos together. 😁
Camp ground past gloucester is Bretti..pronounced brett-I
Great to know. There's going to be plenty of towns we mispronounce I'm sure. Locals must have a laugh at our efforts. 🤣
@@outbackadventurefamily it gets packed out over summer
It's not only good exercise doing the stabilise legs by hand, or saves ruining the thread etc using a drill! Smart thinking!✔️
Im bloody surprised that there was so little damage to your Jayco. Glad everyone was ok
What a great vid I started watching thinking it was about the van but couldn’t stop watching , it was so refreshing to see Normal everyday life family on a get away and I mean normal in the best way Ps thanks for the tip that park looked great I will do the same very shortly and check it out Hope Phoebes Noodle arms are ok hahahaha
@@ashleymartin7686 haha thanks for watching. Phoebe loved all the positive comments from this trip. Be sure to check out some more of our content. 🙂
