Small correction Chris. High octane fuel actually burns slower than the 91 your using. High compression engines require the higher octane fuel to prevent detonation in the engine combustion chambers. High octane fuel also has a high calorific value which means you get more energy from the same volume of fuel. Not quite sure why your fuel consumption is down using the higher octane fuel. My Y62 towing uses far less 98 than 91 especially when towing. Cheers and safe travels!
Actually Matilda was part of the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games! It actually ended up at Puma servo at Tugun for a while before heading back north. A well traveled Roo 😂
I’m so glad that no matter how time goes by, your beautiful kids grow up, your rig gets better (the best now!) you 2 are always so down to earth and honest! Thank you for the amazing videos every week and sharing your beautiful lifestyle 😊
its so cool that jack now has your old toy cars, i gave my son a 30L tub of my old cars, hes now added an enormous amount of cars to it that he has been given for birthdays and such.
Awesome episode as usual, great to see you back on the road. Matilda was at the puma at Kybong (the changeover point for Greyhound coaches) on the 'Old Bruce Highway ' before the works on the bypass was done, then it was shifted after they constructed the new Roadhouse.
Great to see the excitement on your faces being on the road again. One thing I noticed on this video, being on the road full time why you have not done one of the mods that would make your life so much easier? Towing mirrors like Clearview or MSR? Just wondering your thoughts on it. Enjoy the rest of your maiden voyage in the new van.👍👍👍
I don't know. The cost of that wrap would be as much as a paint job. The ones I gave seen go a little yellow over a few years and the edges start to lift. I would have just cut and polished then spray it over before selling . But each to their own. Cheers.
Hey Chris, do you have a link for the tow hitch you bought ? I think I need a new one to allow the Stone stomper to attach. My Hayman Reese one ,is flush up on the mounting point on my Y62 tow bar. Van looks epic, congrats. We are now in our new Titanium and getting things ready for kick off January 2023.
Hit the road Jack… and Jayda….. and Sian…. And Chris 🤪 I would love to see how the wrap is in a few months after some sun and weather with regard to the deeper scratches. Very impressive though 👍 So nice and shiny 💖 Love the Chucky Chicken alternative 🍗 🤤 Jack and Jayda are just growing up so fast 😊 Happy trails guys see ya out there 👋🏼🤗😉🤙🍻🦆
I used to drink a lot of chai latte. My granddaughter is 11 now, when she was 3, I introduced her to chai latte. Her mother doesn't like her having chai latte. My granddaughter misses the chais. My granddaughter absolutely loves chai latte.
We completely understand your feelings regarding preferring country driving to city driving especially towing a caravan . We are city living people but much prefer getting out of the city . Living in WA we spoilt for outback destinations . Enjoy your travel to where ever you go and we will follow you there .
Yea I also agree as I am towing with a Y62. As a matter of fact his comment saying high octane fuel burns quicker couldn’t be further from the truth. High octane fuel is used in high compression engines to prevent detonation. The fuel burns slower and is more controlled during the burning process. It also has a higher calorific value hence the reasons for better performance and economy.
Been OS and finally catching up and you guys were up our way getting the car done 🥳 Will be interesting to see how the film goes as we were looking at getting it done. Very expensive though. Glad you are on the road again and hope we will catch one of these days. 👍
Hi Chris and Sian - love your travel videos - they are really entertaining and informative. I have a question for you... You have recently been talking up the benefits of composting toilets. We currently have the standard cassette-type toilet and are wondering about changing it to a composting toilet to help with off-gridability. Here's the question (because I tend to think about the practical things, like what happens when it comes time to empty it) - How long after your last "deposit" (I'm talking number 2s here) do you have to wait before things have composted and it is "safe" to empty the toilet cannister? My understanding is that it is slower than a cassette-style system and am worried that it may take several days.
You know,we’ve hooked our TV via Bluetooth to the fusion but there’s a slight delay with dubbing. We then added an aux cable and there’s still a dubbing issue but less. So if you can crack the code let us know!!!
I had a funny moment watching your videos recently as I realised I went to school with Sian and was in her grade! I didn’t realise initially until it clicked ! 😂 I excitedly told my husband I have lots of famous people from my grade like Sian and Dami 😂😂😂. Awesome videos I’m following 🎉❤😊. Cheers, Melissa
Nice to see you back on the road. That car film is something else. Looking forward to trying Rosie's yum. Take care until next week. Love the UK Leg ends x
What an awesome episode! Looking forward to all the adventures in you Zone 😊. Sian, is that bag you put in the sink during travel the same as your last van? Have been looking for something similar for our sink during travel, but can’t remember what you had or where from!
Hey there have been watching you guys from the start n look forward to Sundays when we get new episodes keep the up great stuff lovin it thank you😀😀 In ya last episode you had a container you put in the kitchen sink to put bits in can you please tell me where you got it from Cheers Kerry
Love your channel but at 17 minutes in the video your daughter ran straight out onto the road from behind a parked vehicle without looking. Don't mean to be a nark but it could of resulted in a terrible accident. Keep up the great work, and safe travels.
I’ll be interested to see how the film on the car goes with age and abuse. Chris, it looked like the chains on your hitch weren’t crossed. Out of practice maybe?

Maltilda was the mascot for the Brisbane Commonwealth Games.
its so cool that jack now has your old toy cars, i gave my son a 30L tub of my old cars, hes now added an enormous amount of cars to it that he has been given for birthdays and such.
Hi guys....noticed you don't cross your tow hitch chains as a cradle to catch hitch/A frame digging into road surface if attachment separates.
He is out of practice lol 😂 all good now 😊😊

Why didn’t you wrap the bonnet ? To make it all match?
I don't know. The cost of that wrap would be as much as a paint job. The ones I gave seen go a little yellow over a few years and the edges start to lift.
I would have just cut and polished then spray it over before selling . But each to their own. Cheers.
I can't believe you've had the Patrol for two years already!! 👍👍
It goes fast hey!

Thanks guys for another fun episode
Another gr8 EP guys - can’t stop laughing about the big red one 🤣🤣🤣
Great to see you guys on the road again. Enjoy, we look forward to sharing your journeys. Safe travels
Just wondering what the average price per kilometre your getting with your petrol? Thanks
I used to drink a lot of chai latte.
My granddaughter is 11 now, when she was 3, I introduced her to chai latte. Her mother doesn't like her having chai latte. My granddaughter misses the chais. My granddaughter absolutely loves chai latte.
Great to see you guys back on the road doing what you love

Anaconda sale price for that jack base is $44.99 reduced from $64.99.
Thanks for staying guys and watering the plants. Funny you had mie goreng while we are in Bali 😊
All my experiences with 95 or 98 have produced greater range than 91. In most cases the usage was very close to the same $/ km.
Same here, costs more but goes a lot further

That bag I used is from snowpeak, our last one was custom made to fit the sink from Crazy Dog Canvas ☺️
Right up there with KFC, the bar is low when the dirty bird is up there 😀✌️
