    Very inhospitable country good they have preserved those graves considering all the weather they endure. Ha ha poor John in trouble again talking 😂 whoa you got hit by a wirlie lucky you weren’t knocked over be careful out there in the middle of nowhere where did all those caravans come from? Cute little pub. Enjoy your trip. Look forward to seeing more

    Hi there Tracie and Jon, I am not familiar with anything Queensland, so it is lovely seeing it through your eyes. I get to travel with you dust free... LOL! 🤣🤣🤣Outback Queensland is very outback isn't it, and most states have landscape similar to that. Tracie, only a nurse would spot the bedpan, and I hope they had other restroom facilities available. Jon, why don't you like eating a biscuit if it is broken in the packet? Where it is going the biscuit will look worse...! It has been a while since I at those biscuits, and for me I would try and take the chocolate top off and keep it to eat last. Obviously, I wouldn't do that now as I don't eat naughty things.
    Safe travels, and it looks like you have a huge journey still ahead of you.
    Blessings and love. Gloria 💕

      Hi Gloria, oh you just dont realise what Outback means until your actually in the Outback lol. With Jon its part of his ASD / ADHD when it comes to broken food. We can joke about it but it can be quite an issue for parents with young children. I have been very naughty with my food intake, its so hot and we sweat so much that water just doesnt cut it. Your body craves that sugar fix. Stay tuned and thanks for checking in on us

    A little tip. Open the caravan door and separate the screen, then tap up the inside of the door vent and then close them together, it will never move and no dust 😊

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the tip. We did try and put that white thingy on the inside but the door wouldn't shut. Actually didn't think of just taping lol.

      At the time we went the corrugations were quite good so we did not have to lower tyres pressures at all. Enjoy your travels, thanks for watching

    We’ve just completed an eight week lap of Qld including most of the places you’ve seen. We started in FNQ where we live and travelled to Brisbane, out to Cunnamulla, Thargomindah Noccundra, Eulo and back home via the centre of the state. The remote towns are most interesting. Thanks for these inspiring videos.

    Love your videos. Can I ask when travelling so remotely do you did it hard to access fuel and also water. What do you do to conserve water when remote.

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi there and thanks for your comment. We have had no problems getting water, most small towns have water taps for refilling available at either the visitor information centre or the local park (mainly Lions Parks). I use Wikicamps to find water fill areas. As for our fuel we don't wait for our tank to be near empty to fill up, we will top up at many decent fuel stations along the way even if we have only used a quarter of a tank. We also carry 2 x jerry cans of extra diesel ⛽️ just to be safe. Appreciate you watching 👀

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh and to conserve the water. I only wash up once a day and only put about w inches of water in the sink. We shower once a day bit jump in, get wet, turn tap off while soaping up, tap back on to rinse and off/out. Makes you appreciate a long shower when you stay at a caravan park lol, particularly to wash your hair.
