    Just finished watching your whole series. You guys rock man!!!
    We just bought a van and are in the planning stage. If we have half a good a time as you guys, I'd be happy!!!
    We have a staffy also. We would love to see a bit more of Luna, especially in the water hahaha!
    Also can you show a bit on how you use wikicamps and plan your next stays please? Let's see the hard times and planning stages 👍👍👍
    Thanks guys. Keep up the awesome work 👌

      Wow mate that’s unreal! Thank you so much. How bloody awesome is that, can’t wait to hear you guys are getting out and about seeing this beautiful country!
      How adorable what is your Staffys name? 🐾
      We do need to get better at adding Luna in a bit more, she is so funny in the water isn’t she? She absolutely loves it!
      We will do our best moving forward showing the planning and the wiki camps (this is something we don’t do much of, kind of wing it most of the time 😂)
      Jared you are an absolute bloody legend thank you so much for the support!

      @chasingdreamsau You's are the bloody legends!!!!
      My boys name is Chief. He's a 30kg Am Staf.
      Mate, I've watched so much TH-cam on travelling Oz and it's you guys that I can't wait for another episode to drop.
      We pick up our van in 2 weeks but don't plan to do the lap for another 2 years.(My mum is ill and I won't go until... we'll..... you know).
      Hopefully you guys will still be on the road (or dirt) when we do it and we can have a bloody beer together!
      How good was that spot in Qld on the river with the bridge in the background! Stop it!!! Ask the misses mate coz you won't bloody remember the name of the joint hahahaha!!!

      Mate, you have no idea how much that means to us. You have absolutely made our night!
      Sending you and your family best wishes and we too hope that we are still on the road and would definitely be up for a beer! If you ever see us in your area please reach out.
      You know what is really shocking, before I had finished reading the comment I stopped and asked Madi where you would be talking about (she knew of course). Then I read on and absolutely pissed myself! 😂
      Thanks again for making my night mate, have a ripper and we will be seeing you next week!

    Take a pet first aid kit with a tick remover tool and a photo of your dog that shows identifying marks etc in the event that you lose your dog and need to create posters in hard copy and online. Also a collar tag with your phone and car rego numbers.

    Great episode, we’re Tasmanians and are off travelling end of year with our schnauzer. Tell me what did you have to do with Luna when she got heatstroke? Also the 1080 baits, do they have a specific look to them. Did you see them travelling. I know our handsome Ollie would love to meet gorgeous Luna ❤

    • @chasingdreamsau
      @chasingdreamsau  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much, oh wow how exciting is that!
      We didn’t really know what was going on so just trying to keep her near aircon, plenty of water and wet cool towels. Unfortunately in the end there were no vets so we drove 2 hours to get a vet and they kept her on a drip and monitored her overnight to be sure.
      We have honestly never seen any 1080 bait that we know of, we have been in lots of areas where it was present. They are apparently all different and we have been told they mainly try to use ones that are a bright colour so you know.
      That would be great, I’m sure Luna would also love to meet Ollie.
      All the best with preparing for the big trip at the end of the year.

    First time watcher. Do you have a dog first aid kit? We have a rotti we take away and this year was the longest we took her away and discovered some of the difficulties travelling with a dog, but like you said you choose where you want to go and what to see. Great tip on wiki, I never knew that so will add that to my filter.

    • @chasingdreamsau
      @chasingdreamsau  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey Kathrine, thank you so much for watching.
      No we currently don’t have a first aid kit for Luna, probably something we should look into though.
      So glad you got a couple of tips from the video. Hope you have some great adventures with your fur baby ❤️

    Thanks for the video guys, we’re looking to do a lap in a year or so with our 2 Samoyeds. Question on your comments about the 1080 baits, the baits are one thing that really concern us. Our girls can Hoover up something off the ground in a second. You mentioned be cautious, could you elaborate on what precautions you guys took. We were thinking of the net style muzzles, is this something you used?

      Thank you for watching.
      Oh how exciting for you guys!
      Yeah fair call, when in an area or near an area of 1080 we kept Luna on a shorter lead and had a muzzle on her that she was still able to open her mouth and drink but not able to get food from the ground. We would also check where we parked the van and the area she would be able to get to on her lead to make sure there was nothing there. Hope this helps and best of luck planning your amazing trip. ❤️

      @chasingdreamsau 100% agree. But australia does have a thing about banning everything after one or two things happen. Sad, really.
