Love the haircut, Sandy! Tim has got the lumberjack look down! Lol. I see the channel is doing really well! I have always believed in your growth! It is well deserved! Love the Back to The Future sweater! That is one of my favorite movies of all time! That park looks like an amazing hike! We don't have any place like that in Vegas. Those are the times I miss living in Hawaii. I hiked all the time!
Thank you Shaun 🤩🙏it’s also very good to see you and your channel growing so well , Back to the future is definitely a running theme in the sand van 😊we even have “MartyMcwifi” as our router name 😂
The water crossing looks fun 😃 Oh woah just look at the tyre 😮 glad you got those sorted. Good investment for a trip like this. Beautiful coral beach 🏖️ like a desert island 😃 Always seems to be parking issues in the popular tourist spots. But there’s always a good option if you look around 👍🏻 great vlog, really enjoying your big lap 🚐💙 Trev n Sue
Thank you Trev and Sue 🤩🚐🙏yep we’ve upgraded so we don’t exceed the load rating on the tyres 🛞🛞🚐wouldn’t have been long before they’ve needed doing anyway 🤦♂️
beautiful scenery shots with the drone and I love Pablos new seat. I also see Tim found his glasses, shame about the flat tyre but better there than out in the middle of nowhere, cheers
This is by far my most favourite place yet guys. It’s hard to believe you can have so much beauty in one place. My hunch is that Pablo has your glasses Tim 😂😂😂 It’s so annoying when something goes walkabout and you don’t find em. Thanks for a great video. Don’t worry about the negativity there’s way more positive things in your favour ❤️❤️
Hi guys, some great, and some not-so-great adventures! On the plus side, it was a good job you didn't get the flat tire in the back of beyond 😅 Pablo's new seat was cool. Beautiful drone footage - the scenery was amazing ❤
Beautiful scenery all around! Just as well Pablo can't tag along, his little legs would tire quickly. Sorry about the tires, an expense certainly not expected, but VInnie needs good shoes to get you there safely. Safe travels, GOD bless
If it could go wrong, it will go wrong. Did they find a nail, or was it weight? Those views are stunning. I'm loving the great loop. As you have done scuba before, will you be doing it again on this loop? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Chris 🤩😊🙏the verdict is still out why the tyre exploded with such force , no nails were discovered , would definitely go scuba diving again if the chance arose 😊
Hi Sandy, Tim and Pablo Sorry ,Your upload came in after midnight and I slept in the middle...watched it again. I slept in this morning after filming the hike yesterday.. cramps and cramps hahah NO More Rocks No More Roots! haha I wear long sleeve shirt and leggings all the time to protect from sun and bug bites. Harmful plants? wow. After quite challenging hike, the view is really your reward. How long is this waterfall? Sandy and Tim..it happened to all the PPL. One down and another problem comes up. Just a pair of glasses.. you three are safe and sound. I hope Tim is alright after fall. You two had some crazy experience including mishaps. I like Airlie Beach very much. Paradise for two of YOU. Love picking up treasure on the beach. Coral is a treasure to me. Pile memory after memory. Life is precious. haha Hope you enjoy my Graveyard Fall...quite work-out.
Thank you Mskayak7seas 🤩🚐yes Tim has made a full recovery after his fall 🤩 We found his glasses 🤓 they had fallen down behind the drivers seat 🤦♂️ Thanking you again for all your wonderful support ❤️
Another nice one! How's the humidity up that way? The only times we've been that far north is on a stopover at Cairns on the way to Japan and the humidity sucked. Otherwise it looks really nice to visit. Sucky thing to happen with the tyres too. I'm guessing the new ones weren't cheap? But if you're going to have bad luck it is a stunning place to do it.
Thanks Shane 🤩the humidity isn’t too bad considering our location 😊the full set of tyres set us back at $1068 so not too much especially for the peace of mind knowing we’re correctly load rated and have a decent spare tyre now that’s not 20 years old 🤦♂️
Hi guys. I would be interested in knowing if you just stay in Each camp area for one night, or do you stay longer. Keep up the good fun. OMG the glasses, it must be a bloody man thing. My hubby by has lost 2 pair in the last 6months grrrrrr 😡😡😡 I bet he finds them in the van 😂😂😂😂
Thank you 😊🚐🙏we stay a couple of nights some times it depends if there’s the need to stay in certain areas for attractions or if we need reset days for editing ,laundry etc lol we found his glasses 🤓 they’d fallen behind the drivers seat 🤦♂️🚐
Hello! I am starting vanlife around Aus in a few months, I am wondering how you go with free camping? Do you pay for most campsites or what do you do? Thank you!
Thank you 😊🙏🚐we try and park for free every night , we use wiki camps app and park for night app , there’s also a free camping Australia page on facebook, talking to other travellers also unlocks great free park ups for you as well , we also stealth camp , the trick being find somewhere out of the way like an industrial area with a cul de sac so there’s no through traffic for people to notice you , arrive late sleep then leave early before the workers arrive, then head to a beautiful scenic day area , it’s a lot easier than you think to find free park ups , a lot of the outback towns welcome RVs /campers etc and provide rest areas with facilities for upto 72hours stay 🚐🤩hope this helps
Very dangerous if a person is foolhardy at Cedar Creek Falls. Many spinal injuries and even death. Nice place but don’t jump! A hint: try to find a couple of small blow-up cushions to take on your walks. When you want to sit down, inflate the cushion sit down and thus avoid the shells, rocks and cold snow/timber or whatever. Cheers. 👍🏻🙏🦘
Eungulla is pronounced ‘Young Gulla’ Eungulla Dam is my favourite campground Cheap, toilets,pet friendly and allowed fires hard to get all of those at a campground these days

Thank you Roger 🤩🚐we finally found them where they had fallen behind the drivers seat 🤦♂️
@@SandVan 🤣🤣🤣 I think Pablo has been mischievous really without you seeing him. He can be a little bugger as you well know 😂😂
Have a great week.
Thank you Michael 🤩🙏🚐
@@SandVan I'm off work all week.
Enjoy your time off 🤩
@@SandVan I will. Thank you!
Watching you as the sunsets to the west. We are sitting on a rocky coast near Poolewe. Not as exotic but we love it here.
Thank you David 🤩🚐sounds wonderful ,it’s exotic to us though 🤩
Hi guys, some great, and some not-so-great adventures! On the plus side, it was a good job you didn't get the flat tire in the back of beyond 😅 Pablo's new seat was cool. Beautiful drone footage - the scenery was amazing ❤
Thank you girls 🤩🙏yes we were extremely lucky to not be too far from civilisation 😀
Beautiful scenery all around! Just as well Pablo can't tag along, his little legs would tire quickly. Sorry about the tires, an expense certainly not expected, but VInnie needs good shoes to get you there safely. Safe travels, GOD bless
Thank you Alice 🤩yes Pablo wouldn’t be able to keep up with all our shenanigans 🤩so glad we’ve got new stronger load tyres 🛞🚐

Thank you Deej 😊🚐
