being a mum is a full time job, you need breaks, just like you'd expect in a job

That’s one thing about the old orb spiders. They won’t hurt you but when you walk into the web in the dark, it’s like a cargo net. Always supremely funny when it’s someone else 😂😂😂

What's the big deal about the spiders, are they dangerous? Thanks for the video

Another great video guys! Loving the drone shots!! The way you both talk to your kids is amazing. I'm loving how curious and adventurous Liam is! Keep up the awesome content (but remember to have some rest in there too 😜)

Best chocolate place. Cocoa nib.

Wauchope is pronounced..war-hope!

Noice Vid...

A great idea that I sure would help you is to change out all the non slip cloth you are using (that you said moves) to yoga mats. Just cut to shape and they don’t move. They have that added cushioning and you can drag things across them and they don’t move or tear. They are also wipe clean. $7 aprox 6th x 2ft from Big W ect or Reject type shops. Happy Travels

The Burdikin bridge, dam and river are huge, so beautiful. Wow, I’m glad you said about the spider sticks, I am going to walk the bridge next time I’m up there and I’m Sh… scared of spiders. Good to see you’re staying where its warmer thank Bris area at present. Cheers Judy

The little fellow looks happy 😊

Love this video the children are growing so fast so lovely❤

Another great video. I don't mind spiders but there certainly are a lot there that's for sure. Such a beautiful area but it's a shame about the weather for you. Hopefully it will get better so you can get out and enjoy more. Take care, stay well and enjoy.💗

Now who doesn’t like a Big Mango 🥭? Awesome episode guys! 🕷️

Nope, nope no spiders nope But love bowen Great video and the huge bridge by drone 👏

Pal you are NO motor mechanic and from your comments never will be. That timing belt is flexing way too much on decelerating. It will let go very soon unless repaired.

Gr8 ep …. Spider bridge 😬 did you notice the spider on your cap on that section of the footage 😮

As I mentioned on your Facebook post, I lived in Homehill in the 1970's, driving haul out tractors on the sugar cane. Didn't see too many orbs but plenty of red back spiders. The fishing there was great. I used to go on a boat belonging to one of the cane farmers out past Cape Upstart. I loved my time there. The Burdekin Bridge is an amazing structure.

Fan viscous hub should stop straight away when engine stops? Yours kept free sping?

Aftermarket straight 6 exhaust manifolds almost always have problems since the quality of the metal used and the research and development falls far short of OEM resourcing. Sometimes elongating the slots/drilling out the holes in the manifold where the studs/bolts intersect the manifold solves the "snapping stud" problem since the elongated hole now allows more movement by the manifold which "slides" past the stud... rather than bending it, and bending it, and.....every heat cycle... when the edge of the hole in the manifold stops the expansion by levering against the stud. Sometimes OEM also make the same mistake...with alloy heads having a different rate of expansion to the exhaust manifold

Looks the goods!🙌🏾

So glad everything went well with the engine, always such a worry when somethings not good. I actually have a sound like a fan belt squealing, after seeing this video, I’m taking it down to have checked, I’m an older lady so can’t do it myself, I use to be a mechanics TA, but beyond me now, so frustrating having to get others to do things for you. Enjoy your continuing travels, look forward to the next one. Cheers Judy

Gladstone has to be a good place to breakdown as toyo's are every where there..😁 I have lots of relations living and working there.

Diesel life 😂…. She’ll be good for another few hundred thousand k’s 🤙

Good job and good friends helping you. Just a tip from my mechanic days, I was always taught to retention bolts afterwards after initial run especially on areas of high heat like your exhaust manifold to check they are in their torque specifications still,its a pain going back in there but could save you more headaches down the track. Great video and channel.

Hey guys that deepwater camping spot is bloody awesome, not sure if you remember the little dam in the river by camp but myself and the kids made that one afternoon when the water level was a bit lower. We used hot water bottles before our diesel heater and just recycled the water in them and reheated. Keep up the good work Cheers

Did you put a full set in while you had it apart ???????????????

How lucky are you to have a legend like Troy in your life?! Good job guys!

Interesting ideas on storage. But having jackets and other things near the bed looks untidy to me. What's the " paid promotions ?you have disclosed? Whats the weight limit for The hanging shelves in one wardrobe ?

Your lucky you have someone to help you out

For future reference if you are trying to drill a hole and need to centre it, get a bolt that will screw into the thread of the stud hole( in this case). Centre punch it and drill it with a 2-3 mm drill in the vice to get it perfectly centre then screw it into the hole your trying to drill into use the 2-3mm drill to start and importantly centre the hole. I’m a retired aircraft maintenance engineer and if I had a dollar for every bolt n screw I’ve drilled out I’d be richer than Elon Musk. We used make centring bushes on a lathe that fitted into the hole by a few mm and were about 20-30mm long. You just put the small section in the hole and rest sat flush on the outside and was tall enough that the drill bit was keep straight and centred.

What did the plaque say behind the swing? You can learn a lot about HISTORY 9f regions.

Hey mate, Do you run a DC Dc charger

Might be a good idea to check the intake manifold bolts as well. Mine came loose a few years ago

Massive congratulations to you for taking the time to do the preventative repairs that will ensure your travels continue. Great mates to help out too! We've sold our New Age after our trip last year but love your videos as they're 'real' and not all about merch etc and glamourising it all.

Great idea going lithium batteries, I’ve switched to lithium for my second battery because running my car fridge as a bit of a freezer for bait and and esky for drinks and some food in storage containers, when I started my car the Alternator couldn’t put enough charge back into the the Agm battery as I was only using it at night and a small generator during the day or my battery would have had not enough charge for overnight even though I have a solar panel on the roof of my Ute. So after watching keelan’s story on TH-cam (I wish he talked a bit slower) so I went to I-tech purchased a battery DCDC charger and battery monitor and the guy said I shouldn’t have too many problems getting power back into the lithium battery off of the alternator going down the path I’ve taken. Might look into another small fridge/freezer for the bait giving me more room in big fridge for food on not so much as a freezing alternative.But have a few jobs to do on the 4wd Ute ready for summer fishing trips.

Great effort mate💪 The old girl is certainly testing you and possibly giving you a few grey hairs 🤦🏻 How rewarding is it to be able to work with a mate to get things sorted..

HI Guys good work. As iam watching you I am thinking how much prep I have done to my Toyota you just don't know what can give way . Cheers all the best Steve and Deb.

Great video you could probably use a mobile solar panel to add a bit load going into your batteries. I’m not how set it up but im sure where you it from would gladly oblige to give you the information on how to do it.having kids you would probably go through a bit more power.As for your diesel heater maybe give the jets a bit of a clean out may solve the problem Cheers guys and happy and safe travels

Great idea to do the gvm upgrade than looking at a new vehicle a little bit less in change over which you could have spent on the upgrade and I would put the bike on the caravan giving you more room for a smaller car fridge.great idea with the overhead rack in the back great for storage good luck with the rest of your trip

Forgive me if I’m wrong but I did notice your fan spinning quite freely when you first started it to look for the squeel when you shut it down it looked to spin freely but I guess your mechanic would have picked that up and for those sockets they do come in handy to stop you rounding off bolts or nuts because they are a perfect fit compared to normal sockets. Would have replaced all of exhaust bolts and studs for future but it’s good to see you got it going again 👍👍

Fourbys… am I right? 😂 So good it’s back together! Just wait till you get to the corrugations! We’ve been hitting them for the last 2 weeks on The Gibb and it’s done some mischief! 😬

Great effort guys doing that on a nature strip is challenging. But best of all good pick up in the first place recognising a new sound. So many people either ignore or just don’t hear things like that. 👌

Troy comes across as a really good guy. Glad you had friends to help you out.

Good job . I'd better pop the bonnet on my 100 series & check them cause it's done 496k.Glad they come out easy for you off Centre holes & easy outs are you're worst nightmare

Many hands there for you now 😅

The house is like ours in the front & that hedge is the same as the one we pulled out 😃

what pitfa. hahha. good job. hate to do this on my vdj200.

You were lucky you were I Gladstone with a good friend that is a mechanic!

How did you secure the drop bear storage pockets please?

20secs in - Just a guess, but I'll say exhaust manifold/turbo to exhaust manifold gasket.
