    If you watched our last episode from our Australia series you’ll know that our van SELF LOCKED… and locked us out. What a way to finish the day, ey? 🥲 Lucky for us, we were staying around some very resourceful Aussies and the crisis was averted with a bit of jiggery pokery! Talk about success! This meant we could enjoy a lovely evening and get back on the road the next day to head to our next stop, Katoomba - HELLO BLUE MOUNTAINS! 😍 Wow, talk about a warm welcome… The weather is ROASTING! ☀️

      We are known for banding together to get things done. Several years back, a train was in the station during a busy part of the day, and a man lost his footing trying to board the train and ended up with one leg stuck between the carriage and the platform, unable to get himself out of the predicament. Immediately the train conductor became aware of it and delayed the train’s departure. Several people from the platform tried to help but he was really stuck. So then they got everyone to exit the carriage and as soon as everyone was out, they began to push the carriage by leaning on it, trying to widen the gap so the man could get free.
      If you search TH-cam for it, you should be able to find it.

    Enjoying your Aussie series! I went there for the first time two months ago. Started in Jacksonville, Florida and flew across the country to Los Angeles. A few hours later, I boarded a flight to Sydney. I love Qantas! With no sleep, and arriving 2 days later than when I left, I rented a car and drove to Melbourne. From there, I highly recommend the Great Ocean Highway. A wild Koala bear crossing the road and hugging a Eucalyptus tree was the highlight of my trip. An incoming Cyclone ended my chance of seeing the Great Barrier Reef, but there will be other opportunities. My take-home from this brief travel is to be open-minded, appreciate and embrace change and other cultures, and to just not fret the small stuff (or the big stuff, like the cyclone) and enjoy what is in front of you. The experience made me appreciate what I have and affirms that people are lovely everywhere. Australia made me feel welcomed.

    I’m assuming the lock is a ‘safety’ feature, but you’re RIGHT! You should NEVER get locked out! I’d definitely upon returning give them a heads up to CHANGE that or an ABSOLUTE MUST of training for ‘issues’ VITALLY important to know! You guys always come out ‘smelling like a rose’, an old saying meaning you overcome any adversity and turns out well! See-that’s why when I get to heaven I’m slapping Murphy’s mom😂kidding! Since I’m from Arizona I’m used to the heat and make plans of layers, water, and a handheld fan that sprays water. Perfect for backpacking even. As always it’s so much fun to watch your trip, thank you! Safer travels happy trails🙏🏻❤️

    Glad you got the van unlocked, some helpful Aussies did the job. That automatic locking is more than likely a safety feature so you dont leave the vehicle unlocked when you are away. A good feature actually, just keep the key in your pocket or find somewhere to hide it on the van. I used to carry a spare key outside my camper, but I did have a key cut that would only unlock the van if I happened to lock my keys It wouldn't start the vehicle. Have fun and enjoy the click-clack railway and the ride across the canyon...by the way.... a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo because of his yellow crest. 👍👍

    If you going to Melbourne read up on our most famous bushranger, NED KELLY (there was a movie in 2003 staring Heath Ledger). On the way you could call in to Beechworth, a lovely old town where he was tried, and Glenrowan site of his gang's last stand. Beechworth has a famous bakery and a good honey shop. You can see Ned Kelly's armour at the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne, and those of two of his other gang members at the Police Museum. You can also go to Old Melbourne Gaol where he was hung.

      Shouldn’t be captive though.
      They can live for 80+ years, and are often abandoned many decades later after the original owner dies.
      It’s illegal to catch wild birds, and never buy from a breeder, just leads to more problems.

    I work for Mercedes-Benz and the owners manuals in all the cars say to not close the door with the keys inside. Many times we've had (generally ladies with kids), who close the door with the keys in their handbags, to attend to the child in the back seat and the car locks. Roadside assistance smashes the windows to get in.

    Ah you say bad things come in threes but you’re looking at it wrong. Really, good things happened. You got stuck on the 1st day but people came and helped you gain access to the park, then other lovely folk helped you get back in the van, the roadside coffee man provided a drink to keep you going until you could enjoy a relaxing BBQ with the comfort of your van inches away. It would only have been bad if nobody assisted you and Aldi had been closed. This is the PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) we have in Australia rather than the negative UK one… and as a Brit, I can say that!

    melbourne weather is 4 seasons in 1 day. I believe the reason is depending where the winds are coming as below melbourne is tasmania and below that is a continent called Antartica. Sydney weather is similar depending where the winds come from. Western winds is dry heat during summer and Eastern / Southern Winds are cooler. Thats why you get one day in the low 20's celcius and the next is mid to high 30's celcius

Hope you have sunscreen on :) Had to laugh at you throwing your dinner away to check out the cockatoo. They are beautiful and really smart, but a bit of a pest around where I live in Sydney. They travel in mobs and have a tendency to chew on wooden decking and can make a mess by nipping at seed pods in trees. They even lift rubbish bin lids to get at rubbish if you overfill and don’t shut the lid properly. And they are noisy!

It has the most laid back and quiet beginning I have come across.

    The van wouldn't have locked if the key was in the ignition. When a vehicle is unlocked by a press of the remote, if a door isn't opened within 30 seconds it will lock itself again, it's a security measure against accidental presses of the remote controls buttons whilst it's in your pocket.
