Great video guys 😀🤩Uluru is such an amazing and humbling place to visit 😍😍😍we were there last August and there wasn’t a soul around due to covid 🤩looks super busy now 😳thanks for bringing back wonderful memories 😍😍😍
Thanks so much Luna! It was actually a month ago, our videos are a couple Of weeks behind, we have so many amazing places to share! But this is awesome, it’s almost like I can celebrate again. We appreciate you watching, and glad you enjoyed the film.
Hi Guys. My wife and I are retired and now caravanning take a good chunk of our time. Being caravanners I don’t usually watch much van or camper van stuff on TH-cam, however we did New Zealand in a hired Sprinter a few years age. Your build videos caught my attention and I’m now enjoying your videos. No we won’t be changing from our caravan but we use it as a base camp and do day trips to places. You have wetted the appetite to maybe do more. Keep it up and provide more interesting informative videos. Glenn in Bunbury WA.
Cheers Glenn! I honestly don’t think the van/caravan thing matters as much as the mindset. For us it’s all about living our life now and doing as much as we can, before we can’t!! Thanks for watching our films, we are chuffed that you find them interesting and informative and inspiring! PS we recently passed through Bunbury, it’s a nice town!
Did you see any lightning storms in Uluru Kata Tjuṯa in Australia’s Northern Territory and I loved to watch the lightning in the sky when it rains heavily and hearing sound of the thunder afterwards and Imwas fascinated to watch the lightning storms in the Australian outback of Uluru. I love lightning and it is beautiful to look at in the sky during the summer monsoon season from November to March in Central Australia. The this is nicknamed the Red Centre because it is so red of the desert landscape in Australia’s Northern Territory. I loved Australia and I wanna to go back.
We were back in the NT in March this year, we hoped to see a storm in Uluṟu but sadly we didn’t have any. We love that area too. Hope you get to come back some day.
It always blows my mind when I see the height and circumference of Uluru, as it doesn't seem so big when you look at it. I guess it's because there's nothing else nearby to compare it to! On our last visit to the region over 20 years ago, we only had the briefest of visits to Kata Tjuta, so I'm really looking forward to seeing more of that next time. Really enjoyed seeing your visit. Do you happen to know if you can hire bikes at Uluru? (as we probably won't have our own with us)
I was wondering how you go with punctures on your mountain bikes . When living in south OZ I kept getting flat tyres due to 3 corner Jacks on my bike . Now I'm in my mid 60s with CHF my push biking days are over and I ride a bike with a 600cc engine..
I plan to do the same kit out a van and go where I can. I have a brain injury and can't drive too much so I figure it will be a slow trip, that's why I want a van that doubles as home. My questions are does my van need to be 4wd or will a general transit van do. I don't plan to do the whole of australia at this point, but hey, why not at some point, overseas travel on planes or to busy places are no longer a possibility as my brain can't handle noise or movement, but I can be in my car and view the world that way to cope with busy, so hey I still feel i can participate just have to do it in a different way.
What kind of safety precautions do you take travelling so remotely? For things like mechanical breakdown, getting bogged, being able to contact support in an emergency. I recall some years ago travellers dying in the desert after their car broke down I don't think they were well prepped. I assume there isn't phone coverage everywhere. @@nigelandsueadventures
@@braininjurydiy there definitely isn’t phone coverage everywhere! We carry Max trax recovery boards, a shovel and a snatch strap, but to be honest we’ve used them more helping other people who were stuck than ourselves. If I was solo I would definitely take a satellite phone or some way of contacting help. You should definitely give it a go, it’s a great way to live
Desmond here it's only another 2 months to go before I start my 2 week tour with the group I have never be to uluru and northern territory. I did not know that was the oldest culture in the world is it very hot there does it cold there thats what I am waiting for the different colours at uluru are the flys a swarm of flys how far is kata from uluru
Belated Happee Bday Sue 🥳 🎂🎈Ace Place to Celebrate 😜 Awesome footage 👍 Respect✌️💋✨❤️💛🖤
Thanks Jen! This might be a weird question, are you the Jen we met at Standley Chasm?
@@nigelandsueadventures Cheers, nah I’m coastal in Greater Melbourne 😜 If I do bump into you guys one day, you’ll know 😝✌️🎉
@@sunsetjen2398 ahh all good, we met a lady called Jen on the trail there who recognised us from TH-cam.

Humbling… that’s a good way to describe the feeling. Have you read the book “I am Uluṟu”?
Happy Birthday Sue. 🎂🎊Love your outback adventures. Hope you have an amazing day.
Thanks so much Luna! It was actually a month ago, our videos are a couple

@@nigelandsueadventures Oh that's ok:) Everyday is a birthday:) Take care 🙂(From Tas)
Loved this episode! We can't wait to get to Uluru one day - I'm sure we will also be fooled by fool-uru 😂
Hey guys! Thanks so much for watching. It’s one of those journeys I think every Australian should make.

Wow, wow, wow! Such great footage. I didn’t get anything that good but I still remember its beauty so well.
It’s truly magnificent! We were actually too busy just taking it in to pull the cameras out a lot of the time!!

Hi Carla, yes, you can hire bikes from near the cultural centre. It’s well signposted.
I was wondering how you go with punctures on your mountain bikes . When living in south OZ I kept getting flat tyres due to 3 corner Jacks on my bike . Now I'm in my mid 60s with CHF my push biking days are over and I ride a bike with a 600cc engine..
yeah those things are so annoying!! We tried to avoid riding off trail, and I guess we were lucky most of the time.
Try a rubber door stop wedge in the shower door so it does not rattle.
Thanks David! Great idea. Fortunately whatever Nigel did has worked and it’s silent now.

You’ll be fine with a 2wd van. We probably use 4x4 less than 1% of the time. You may miss out on a couple of places but you’ll be fine for most of it

There shouldn't be too many flies there in August. It will be cold at night. Kata Tjuta is around 30km from Uluru, if my memory serves me.
What a great adventure guys. Watched all the way through. Very interesting Some great hikes and rides. Thanks. 😃👍
Thanks so much guys! Appreciate you being here. It really is such a magical place.
