- We resume our Murray River adventure visiting a Hipcamp at Torrumbarry just west of Echuca but things don't quite go to plan as we get stuck up a dirt track with no way to turn around. Come and join us to see how we manage to get ourselves out of this mess. Along the way we call in to the amazing little town of Lockington and discover some unique qualities about this place. The town has quite a story to tell!
We also have some work done to the van and share some exciting news for Beyond The Grey OZ
We used Shotcut video editor to create this video: shotcut.org/ And www.videezy.com/ for special effects
Additional sound effects from www.zapsplat.com

I just love a country town.
They’re great and they are generally so friendly and welcoming 👌
Cheers
Have fun on your filming trip and experience
@@susanmccusker5931 we had a ball 😉
It's nice to refresh your van with new equipment and refurbishments - I bet it makes you feel good.
@@fyiaustralia9686 after four years it’s nice to see the van looking fresher 👌
Cheers Paul and Wenda
The good old Murray River tracks never fail to raise the old blood pressure. We’ve been stuck many times exploring the area for campsites. Many in the dark which makes things interesting. Great job and video guys. 👍
Thank you 😊 fortunately it was daylight, nighttime would be next level 😱
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Great video again, Excellent backing skills there. Surprised how much needed to be attended to after 4 years. Keep up the good work .
@@ChrisJames-k7z thank you 😊 yeah it was mainly cosmetic as we hadn’t done anything to the van in four years so figured we needed to give it a bit of TLC 😉
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Hi Paul & Wenda, thanks for another great video. The hip camp looked good.
Well done with the reversing guys.
Loved the little town that was saved, people power!
You two are going to be famous, enjoy the Hunter.
Safe travels, keep well and see you soon.
Corrie and Lyn ❤
@@lynbond5126 haha yep next we’ll be doing “Beyond the Grey Oz” the movie 😂 thanks guys

Love you people… full of enthusiasm, and very exciting viewing ❤❤
Hey Paul, love the look of that “Parmi” you are about to hook into!!
Cheers Guy’s

Cheers Paul and Wenda

@@mezblyton100 thank you 😊 we enjoy sharing our experiences 👍
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Thanks my favs, well done on getting out of a bad spot and the videography was great as usual 👏👏✅✅
@@stuartkcalvin thank you 😊 we appreciate your encouragement 👍
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Wow! What a nice job, reversing all that way. 👍You worked so well together and as always you keep your cool.
Adding some new touches does make things feel like new and then makes you feel good too.
Hope you had a great time with your family, we’re looking forward to that time, caravanning with our children and grandchildren too.
Looking forward to your visit to reflections and your thoughts on your stay there. Thanks 🙏
@@DebMcMurray-h5c thank you 😊 yeah it was great to spend that time with the family it is such a great way to spend time together
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Loving watching,cool calm collected on that reverse
@@bridgetchave3197 haha thanks 😉
Great to see you back. That Parmy looked next level!
@@HilltopFarmHomestead thank you 😊 yes it was very nice 👌
Amazing people power saved their town ❤
@@davidmilledge221 yeah it is such a great story. And you can tell how proud the locals are of what they have achieved
Cheers
Its looking great. See when you both are back❤
@@lisawilson1818 thank you 😊
Paul, we have the same vehicle but different van. When ever i am reversing onto the van or manouvering like this i always put the car into low 4wd. this takes out the reving and surging and you can control the car and van much better. Give it a go and let me know what you think. Great video again as always. Thank you
@@JohnnyD1305 thanks for the tip, I’ll give it a shot 👍
Cheers Paul
Great to have you back; the van looks terrific. Look forward to hearing about the Reflections experience. How good is Lockington pub? They did a lot to help the Rochester folk during the last floods, great community. (and no I don’t live there 🙃 but we did drive through one the second day as we went north to manage our property in Southern NSW). You sure know you’re at a country pub with meals like that.
@@Outandabout-au thanks yeah we loved Lockington. It’s such a great story, very encouraging to see folks coming together 👌
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Congrats on the Reflections call up. Looking forward to you getting back on the Murray and showing us more places to stay 👍
@@NoFixedDestinationAu thanks 😊 the Murray has been great and we love finding new places to share
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Another good one guys, very admirable reversing effort,.Cheers 😊
@@leonwakefield7285 thank you 😊 it was a bit of an adventure 😉
Cheers
Loved it. ❤. Reminded me of when we took our 23ft caravan down what we thought was a olive grove farm but no it was the front drive of someone’s house 😮 the lady was not happy and we had to back out whoops. Yes don’t trust google maps. 😊.
@@stellaswancounselling 😂 no way, did someone say KFC
It was great to see the updates on the Van. They look fantastic. Why would you read directions? You don't need them. You have Google Maps 😁 . Thanks for sharing. I'll see in the next video.
@@eds4wdcamping thanks Ed yep good old google maps 😂
Cheers
How exciting
@@AngelaWoods-u1e yep we are stoked 😊
Congratulations
@@mareelewis7639 thank you 😊
Another good vid, re.. freshening up the inside of van.
I'd booked into Jayco Edmonton Cairns with a month wait before jobs.
Photos, with precise measurements supplied but work not done.
I'd asked for all new cuboard locks, all bar 2 ceiling lights replaced and the fly wir and door hinges tightened with the black fluff stuff replaced.
Jobs not done were the cuboard locks as only replaced 3 not working
Same with light s only replaced 3 not working.
Door re tightened but not the flywir fluff stuff.
Left mess in rig.
Was not impressed. 😊
@@rosemaryshepherdsmith5110 thanks after 4 years it was great to freshen the van up a bit.
That’s disappointing to hear about your experience with your can up in Cairns. We’ve had a similar experience with the car at a couple of places around the country. Interestingly Cairns Toyota were really good
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Hi Paul and Wenda. Great videos. Found your channel by accident. We are going to watch all of your videos when we have tiime. Just a quick question - when you had the van refreshed, did you have the ironiing board removed? :)
That’s great, welcome 😊
No we didn’t think of that but should’ve 😂
Cheers Paul and Wenda
The farmers sitting back going look at these galahs, lol
@@yindyamarra yep we would’ve given them a good giggle 😂
First comment . ❤watching your channel.. 👍
Thank you 😄that is awesome 👌
Fabulous that you guys are doing some filming..will be wanting your autograph..😅enjoy every minute..
@@SuenRay thanks 😊 we definitely will 👌
Might also be helpful to viewers to add what the booking fee was in Hipcamps. It makes the stay quite a bit more than $30 in our experience. Plus they take a fee from the farm owners as well!!
@@sandyhuysmans6917 you know what I didn’t even notice that when I paid but you’re right there was an extra $15 that Hipcamp added to the bill 😱. It was the first time we’ve used Hipcamp
Cheers
Yes that’s why most of us avoid it.
Foodworks supermarket in lockie
Thanks 😉
Have you been to Murrumbidgee junction reserve
@@jerryrubinek8905 not yet but is now on our list for next week 👍
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Sorry guys , but I am noticing a trend amongst all the travelling youtubers to start sensationalising the thumbnails on their weekly videos…, and now you are doing it too.I am guessing it has become all about clicks. It is not just you … all
my favourites are doing it. Just so you know,I am quickly losing interest. Hope it works for you but it sure doesn’t for me.
G’day Proud Aussie, we’re sorry to hear you feel our thumbnails have become sensationalized, that has never been our intention. Like you we have noticed that trend and try hard to keep ours relevant to the content and at the same time make them entertaining. Even this most recent thumbnail reflects our experience when we got stuck on the track and although it may look “over the top” it was exactly how we felt when confronted with a dead-end track and no way to turn around. It was quite a challenge for us. But look we have taken your feedback on board and appreciate the fact you took the time to share your thoughts.
Cheers Paul & Wenda
@@beyondthegreyoz Sorry guys .I like your videos and didn't mean to seem too critical.I meant it more as feedback than criticism .I still like the others I follow as well. I guess it is a sign of the ever increasing competition to keep viewers ..and I understand that. It just seems to have become a bit of a trend with all video creators over the past few months. You guys have a certain market of your own. I watch you for the information you provide about various places you have visited. You do it in an informal way as though we were camped next to each other and you are letting us know features of various places. My beef is purely with the thumbnails everyone is putting out lately. I know they are the hook to get views but some (not yours) are saying things that seem a bit deceptive like "we're done!!!" as though they are breaking up...then you watch and realise they are simply moving to a new area. My wife and I are still watching your lovely channel . Keep up the good work .
@@ProudAussie23 thank you 😊 and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts we always appreciate the dialogue and feedback 👍
Cheers Paul and Wenda
