How about the Bush Capital Canberra? Hardly any of the You Tube families come here and if they do, all they showcase is Parliament House and the War Memorial. There is so much more to Canberra than those things - like the National Botanical Gardens, the National Arboretum, riding around Lake Burley Griffin, Cotter River and Dam, National Zoo & Aquarium, Cockington Green, National Museum, National Gallery, Telstra Tower, Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Canberra Space Centre. Autumn and Spring are nice times to visit.
Thanks Scott, so many great suggestions for visiting Canberra! We’re sure we’ll get to the Capital at some point, and look forward to exploring the lesser known and natural attractions! 👍
Check Ronny Dahl and Tyler Thompson roof rack faults. It give you an safety ideas about people roof racks that are unsafe and flying off the roof and hit others. Russell
Looking forward to you guys seeing South Australia soon , there's a few regions of the state worth exploring as with every state. Some of the regions in SA I like is the Riverland , Murraylands , Flinders Ranges, Robe on the Limestone Coast , Yorke Peninsula, Eyre Peninsula, Fleurieu Peninsula, and the Barossa and Clare Valley wine regions . Of course check the Capital Adelaide to, plenty to see .
Thank you Barry! So many great suggestions for SA! We are very much looking to explore down there as have not spent any time in the State. Lots on our must do list and already thinking we will need more time 😆👍
Cheers guys! Yes Coober Pedy is definitely on the list. Has been on Katie’s bucket list forever! We’re pretty sure Jasper would LOVE the underground houses! 👍
How nice is the drive through Cunningham's gap ? Driven it so many times from Mudgee to Beaudesert . Last time we were that way checked out Darlington Park and Christmas creek. Queen Mary Falls on my list. A few years ago we stopped in Tenterfield for 2 nights and stayed a week .Bald rock was amazing face walk up. Hav efun,Jasper is growing up lovely .
Yes the Cunninghams Gap drive is awesome! We are loving this region... Killarney was so incredibly green and full of nature, and there’s loads more we are hoping to explore whilst here. One of Paul’s favourite songs is Tenterfield Saddler, so it’s definitely on the list! 👌
Thanks for sharing look forward to the journey, an area that a lot of people don’t see is Cairns to Borroloola Via Georgetown/ Burketown and then onto Daly Waters very remote road wasn’t the best when I was there last but just amazing country. Safe journey cheers.
Let the Big Lap begin!!! It will be amazing, there is so much to see and do in the great country of ours....will 12 months be enough time? Another great looking product review with the Crazy Dog Storage Bag...and their other products look amazing as well. Being from Victoria, I suggest the Victorian Goldfields Railway trip from Castlemaine to Maldon. Maybe a tour of the Central Deborah Goldmine in Bendigo and a tram ride around Bendigo, a King Valley foodie tour, maybe a trip up to Bruno Tofs Art and Sculpture Garden in Marysville. A visit to Collingwood Childrens Farm only 4kms out of Melbourne is aways worthwhile. Old Melbourne Gaol Tour, Puffing Billy Railway, Sovereign Hill in Ballarat, of course, the Great Ocean Road, a Paddle Boat trip on the Murray River up in Echuca, a visit to see the penguin parade on Phillip Island. A visit to WIlsons Prom, maybe a balloon ride. As with every state, there is so much to see and do. It will be so much fun seeing where you go and what you do in the Feel Good Family Big Lap of Australia in 2021.
Thank you Margo! We’ve been asking ourselves that same question! Maybe this will be one of many laps! Thank you so much for all the recommendations for Victoria, they all sound fantastic! We can’t wait to get south and explore VIC 👍
Bendigo talking tram and museum. Swan hill museum and light show. Do not stay around Morwell and Traralgon rough. Very poor area. Can drive through but watch. Laverton air museum. Tickle a crab tummy to put to sleep. SA Ewen ponds check overland travellers.
Port fairy, tower hill, whallala do the train. Grampian, check sparky's on the loose. Daimond valley mini trains. Jasper will love. Road from Mansfield (check cemetery) king valley, stringy bark creek, powel lookout. Winerys and greta cemetery to glenrowan. Ballarat, make shore you check the old cemetery where the soldiers and miners buried. Both saying we stuck it to them. People paid for miners, gov paid for soldier. Melbourne graffiti a must. Catch a tram to st Kilda and cake shops. Lygon street. And Melbourne museum and zoo. First in world to remove cages. Williamstown. Do the drive past navel base to beach. The cafe run by a little I Italian man, cheese cake watch the ships. Drive under and over Westgate. Science works, mad max police station.
wow, just found you guys , so refreshing, not like the other (Trip I A Van). I am going to look at all your videos . Great work on your drone as well. Keep safe and God bless ..
Hi Kevin! So great you found us and awesome to have you here! Hope you enjoy the past episodes (they’ll keep you busy at least 😆) and thanks so much for your support! 👍
The Queen Mary falls are on the bucket list now. When you get to Tassie next go to Montezuma Falls. Easy walk along an old tram track and the falls are spectacular as is the scenery along the way. I have been there several times. Great stuff.
Can’t wait to follow your trip around Oz.. I have a massive list for places in SA if you would like them.. Some we have been and some we are dying to see.. I’ll email the list when I get a chance sometime this week.
We made it to Queen Mary Falls today on our way to the Gold Coast from Cooma, NSW. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. A beautiful part of the world indeed.
Another great video. Looking forward to your big lap. So many places to recommend. If I had to pick a couple I would try to stop a few nights on Rottnest Island, I think Jasper would like the Quokkas plus swimming etc. Another must do is snorkelling on the Nigaloo reef. Once I know in which general direction you are travelling I'll try to provide more specific information for attractions, caravan parks etc.
Great video and looking forward to Season 4 and the big lap as we are looking to start our lap later this year. What books and on line sites etc do you use to do your planning as to where to go and the route, I think a lot of us would appreciate this info and would help us greatly in our travels. Stay safe 👍😃
Cheers guys! How awesome that you are about to embark on your own lap! Which direction are you headed in? We have 2 books that we use a lot, Brendan Baty’s Travel Australia by Caravan & Motorhome which features van parks and places of interest (and great maps), and Camps 10 that is full of free and low cost camp sites. We also use apps like Wikicamps too. We filmed an episode in Season 2 about getting road trip ready, which is full of information on different resources we use, but could also be time to revisit this topic in an upcoming episode 🙂
@@TheFeelGoodFamily Thanks for the update, will look into those 2 books We just bought our van and have done a couple of trips and found WikiCamps helpful in selecting the caravan parks we have stayed in Will go back and check out your Season 2 video Enjoy
Did you guys install any tensioning / anti sway system? Also any modifications to you cars suspension for towing this Van? (Air bags? Firmer springs?) We have the same van. I’d like to see the storage box you put on the front. Gas bottles move or are the inside? Thanks 🙏
Seriously Australia’s tourism minister should employ the Feel Good Family!! It would be one of the best moves the government could make atm with overseas travel practically non existent... there are so many wonderful locations in this beautiful country of ours and I can’t think of a better choice than you guys to lead the tourism journey! 😊

Totally agree about Canberra such a great spot to visit, and I’m a Victorian 😊 for all the families I follow have never seen Canberra
Do you still have Questacon? Really would like my kids to go there as well
@@annettearmstrong3051 Yes, Questacon is still here. Great for young kids. Jasper would love it. He would also love our Dinosaur Museum.
check out the texas region
Well that was great... we are getting closer ... hi Jasper

Queenmary falls is awesome.. We would do day trips when we lived at Ipswich. Nice tea and scones as well.
Such a beautiful day trip, and yes the cafe is great! The owners of the cafe and van park are lovely too and really made our stay a special one 👍
Unbelievable drone work Paul beutiful place 🇦🇺💪🏼👍🏽👌🏼
Thanks Greg! It was so breathtakingly beautiful at the Falls! The hardest part was deciding which drone footage to cut out! 🌿👌
Finally got around to watching this guys, it looks amazing, we will definitely check this place out on the way North. Thanks!
Your truck will just ease through the 14 Condamine crossings.... make sure you tell Louise that we are friends 😊

Places to visit. My favourite is Coober Pedy. If you haven't been there then it is a must see place in SA!
Cheers guys! Yes Coober Pedy is definitely on the list. Has been on Katie’s bucket list forever! We’re pretty sure Jasper would LOVE the underground houses! 👍
How nice is the drive through Cunningham's gap ?
Driven it so many times from Mudgee to Beaudesert .

Looks absolutely beautiful! Thanks for such great footage !
Thanks Michelle! It was so beautiful and we couldn’t get over how green it was!

Thanks Cliff, that’s a great tip! We are so keen to get back to Tassie as have lots yet to explore down there 😍
Looking forward to your lap of oz .🇳🇿👍🤳🏻🤟🇳🇿
Cheers Steve!

Hey guys! That would be amazing, thank you!! Would love your SA recommendations and can’t wait to explore as much as we can while down there! 👌
Now we have to add Queen Mary Falls to our list of places to go when we pick up our van in June. 😊
Yes! You’ll love it! Very exciting times ahead for you! 👏
Great vids keep them coming. How did the mozzie spray go ?
Thank you Neil! The mozzie spray goes really good! We’ve had great results with it so far! 👌
The Evening Star Bush camping at Charleville it is a must.
Thanks Carmel, we’d love to get back to Charleville as so much was closed due to COVID when we were there.
Looking forward to seeing your adventures..
Thanks Lisa! Lots of goodness to come! 👏🚙
We made it to Queen Mary Falls today on our way to the Gold Coast from Cooma, NSW. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. A beautiful part of the world indeed.
That is fantastic! Please say hi to Louise for us and will you have time to check out the falls walk? Cheers
@@TheFeelGoodFamily We certainly did. The walk was really scenic. The surrounding country side was also picturesque.
