Last year we spent 6 months living in our dear campervan @Roxythehiace, exploring South Australia and working on an olive farm. During this time, we learnt first-hand what the most essential campervan items are, and we learnt some of these lessons the HARD WAY. Learn from our mistakes and start off your Australia Campervan Road Trip right! Have you got any other van life essentials to add to the list? Let us know in the comments section below! Also, read our campervan packing guide on our website - highlands2hammocks.co.uk/roadtrip-essentials/
You all prolly dont care at all but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Jamal Jude thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
So glad you had such a great time here. I love my homeland too. I've done 'the lap', towing my 18' caravan but in future, I'm going to go much more simple and sleep in the back of my SUV. Hope you come back one day. Continue to love life.
I might not be ready to buy a van... But I have figured out how to improve my little diesel ford fiesta to start my ventures next year. So long as I have a bike rack, a 'fixed' bed and a Kelly kettle I think I'm going to be fine 😂
Hi guys, I'm Bruno from LCA. Glad to meet you and see your work on youtube. We are planning to go all out vanlife with my wife in a few months. Let's support each other fellow creator. All the best !
RVing through Australia... Yes, we would totally love to try that out some day! Great tips. Wouldn't take my chances cutting my own hair though, haha! New friends and Fellow Travelers over here 😀
Great video guys 👌 makes us so eager to travel again! Can't wait to get back on the road and this is certainly making us want to add van trip Australia to our list!
Thank for sharing this information. Here I am born and bred in Australia and still have not seen my beautiful country like you guys have.I would like to add one or two items to your list, both will save your life. Now either on of these will do but most people carry two. First I’d go nowhere remote without an Epirb (Emergency Position indicating Radio Beacon). There around $300+ but what’s your life worth to you. That question is a no brainer. Second is a Satellite phone. Not everywhere do you have reception. Though the phone is a lot more expensive, $1000+ and I think you need a different contract. But you may face rescue costs as well. Possibly for any type of rescue, Eg. Ambulance, fire, police, this I’m not to sure of. Look into all three. I do know ambulance have memberships in some states. Cheers.
Dude this advice is AMAZING! Thank you for watching and even more so for your input. We reckon we will definitely invest in a EPIRB or something similar for when we get back to Australia and plan on heading into more remote areas.
Yesterday I saw your new video upload at night. Unfortunately, I was using a mobile phone to watch the translation machine. I came to watch and reply early. I feel that the great video is very practical. Can you ask me a question, why do you always upload once a week, if more frequent, you can add more traffic and fans? You don’t have many fans, but every video is very good. You can see that you love life and desire freedom. This spirit is very great. In addition, without your authorization, I download your videos every week to the video collection of Douyin.APP, I am very sorry. I wish you all happiness every day!
Thank you for your continued support! It means a lot to us that you come back to watch more of our videos. How do you find the translation software does with our accents? Also I appreciate your honesty! We are both currently working 45hr a week jobs, running the website, working on social channels and editing these videos, so right now one a week is all we can manage I'm afraid haha! Once we hit the road again we aim for a lot more, but until then you can follow us on insta for more content 😀
@@highlands2hammocks I usually use youtube's own machine translation but the translation effect is very poor. Of course, google is also a very great company. There is a Chinese translation function on the youtube website, including communicating with you also through the online translation function of the google website, allowing me to I have the opportunity to express what I want to tell you. At the same time, there is a powerful company called Netease in our country. The translation accuracy of its website translation is very high, which makes us very good friends apart from each other. Many thanks to these technology developers, their work has been very good. I will upload a higher-quality translation of your video starting today, and I look forward to your new road trip. Oh, yes, I might write another article. You only have a few hundred fans. Every video I made is very conscientious. We have some videos in China just to make money for traffic, and the quality of the videos we shoot is not too much. Your serious attitude in shooting VLOG is worthy of our study. Thank you very much for sharing. When the time comes, my article will be shown to you, and some pictures in your video may be intercepted. Please authorize, thank you.
Thanks for watching! The van coast us 5000$ (a little too much in hindsight and I wish we had negotiated a bit better..), the van conversion coast us about another 1000$ and the running cost is very low, with only really petrol costing us anything 😀
@@universalten365 Facebook market place 😁 we actually have a full guide to buying a van in Australia on our website, including all the forms and legalities etc, and also another video about the conversion so check them out if you’re interested 😁 the links should be in the description of the video. if you have any other questions please feel free to ask!
Funnily enough when I made this video I was working 50 hours a week in healthcare in the uk 😊 before we went to Australia we saved for 2 years and just before we bought this van we worked backpacker jobs for another 6 months to save up. We live within our means, plan ahead for what we need to save and aim for a target that will allow us to do the things we enjoy doing.
@@highlands2hammocks I've always been of the mind that I work to live, not the other way around. Many people talk the talk and bang on about doing things and never achieve any goals or dreams. I admire those who set their sights and achieve their desires. Well done to you both. My partner and I enjoy your videos. You're a lovely couple.

@Jamal Jude It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Emmitt Silas Glad I could help :D
Your passion for your subject is truly admirable.
So glad you had such a great time here. I love my homeland too. I've done 'the lap', towing my 18' caravan but in future, I'm going to go much more simple and sleep in the back of my SUV. Hope you come back one day. Continue to love life.
We cannot wait to go back now! One day we will do the same 😁
I'm getting my van ready now to do a trip around Eyre Peninsula... I have 6 weeks... can't wait.
Have an amazing trip! Such a beautiful road trip 😁

So many bloody flies ha ha. My childhood was spent having van holidays around Australia and that's one I don't miss.
Hahaha it’s a nightmare!! Definitely the worst part 😂
Love all these beautiful views and blues! We love Australia to campervan around, you're totally right, it's impossible to see everywhere!
Thanks for watching guys! We cannot wait to get back to our wee Roxy when we can.
Awesome tips guys!
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it useful
Can Attest as an ex South Australian how harsh it is compared to the East Coast of Australia. Great imagery from someone in Lockdown!
Definitely is! Harsh and oh so beautiful ❤️ thanks for watching!
Great tips. Thank you.
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful
An excellent job, thanks.
Thank you too!
RVing through Australia... Yes, we would totally love to try that out some day! Great tips. Wouldn't take my chances cutting my own hair though, haha! New friends and Fellow Travelers over here 😀

Great video guys 👌 makes us so eager to travel again! Can't wait to get back on the road and this is certainly making us want to add van trip Australia to our list!

Such an amazing country, isnt it?

Love this vid, really helpful thankyou!

Can’t wait to get back to the van life 😍
Those seaside views!
Great video mate!! Kind of suck that you had to be stuck in a middle of nowhere 😅 but hey that’s a story as well 😃
Cheers guys 😁 haha all part of the adventure!
Have you heard of any opportunities for grey nomads getting seasonal/farm work where you can just do a few weeks or a month and move on?
I’m sure that is a very common thing over here in Australia, especially around the fruit trail 😁 give it a Google!
just what i needed! about to start my own massive Australia roadtrip, van-style! I've never done anything like this before, i appreciate the tips!
Best of luck! That is so exciting! We cannot wait to get back over to our baby and travel Australia again one day.
Missing those seaside views!!
So amazing!
Great video guys, stay safe and we made you 450 followers ;) All the best Archie & Me
Awesome! Thank you! Glad to have you guys along!
Hi, this is such a great video :) . How much did the van cost and how much did it cost to run?
Thanks for watching! The van coast us 5000$ (a little too much in hindsight and I wish we had negotiated a bit better..), the van conversion coast us about another 1000$ and the running cost is very low, with only really petrol costing us anything 😀
@@highlands2hammocks may I ask where did you find the van?

You broke down in my home town haha!
Haha! We worked on the farm at Peake, just up the road from here, so Murray Bridge was our regular escape to civilisation.
That's it I'm buying a camper van
Haha good choice!!
Hey guys great tips here!! Nice video too!! New friends here!! Hope we can connect! :)
Glad you enjoyed it 😁 thanks!
Were you born rich? How come you aren't wage slaves?

Flies 🤬. Tour cooler southern climates.
the flies are insane haha! We actually were touring South Australia on the Eyre Peninsula, the winds were just crazy from the north
