A great video thanks. More local governments should get Showgrounds accomodation happening. I know it annoys some of the local caravan parks, but it does mean more are likely to stay overnight, particularly if the area is centrally located.
Yes totally agree, every time we’ve stayed at showgrounds and the like we spend more in town across several local businesses not just the expensive cp Thanks for watching cheers
I like a good pub stay. There are so many of them around you don't realise until you start looking. it's really good when I have all the facilities as well. My problem is I tend to spend a little bit too much in the bar sometimes but that's my problem. Great video: Wenda and Paul😀😀
Thanks for sharing that stay option. Jugiong is a great free stop point on that route. Lots of other good points of interest just off the Hwy. A basic DC-DC charger at 20amps would fully charge your batteries while driving if you do plenty of Kms between stays.
Thank you, yes so many options along the way, we have stayed at Jugiong and loved it. The Sir George hotel was pretty good too. We have the DC-DC but bon’t think ours is charging properly from the car? Cheers
Loved this video guys, we love Pub camping as well. Boy those Parmys would feed both of us lol. That tap in Bowral (we used to live there) was in a ridiculous spot though lol.
Great episode guys. We've actually overnight stayed at some service stations (RV welcoming ones) which haven't been too bad. Truck noise was ok, i didn't mind it. Cheers Marie.
Hey guys, love your content, always interesting and not too extreme. Had a big chuckle when I heard you mentioned the SS&A in Albury for parking your big van, we struggle to get a park there in the middle of the week when having a meal there, ALWAYS very very busy. Probably not your best idea, but interesting to see you have a go. Happy trails..PS Just for anyone else thinking of the SS&A, it can get a little noisy at night 🙂
Thank you for sharing your trip … roughly how many hours do you drive per day , as in from stop over to next stop over… Also how many days in total did it take from NSW to Victoria? Enjoy your time with family and friends
Thanks, on this trip we averaged 4.5 hr each move (normally aim for 3.5) which was fine as there was no set up. We left Brunswick Heads on Saturday and arrived Riddells Creek Thursday (3 nights in Albury to work) Cheers
It's a win-win for travellers when you camped at the Hotel's backyard/garden, especially when travellers in a town with no low-cost camping or free camping. Travellers get to support the local business, too 😁. Bowral is a beautiful and reach country area. We often went there in autumn season for photography. Did u guys get Starlink?
Yes it is a great way to experience a town and that whole area is beautiful with places like Berrima the falls out that way. We did get Starlink and had it for 2 weeks. The speeds are inconsistent and has dropped out a couple of times, but it will allow us to go anywhere now. I’m going to do a video shortly
Yep I hear what you’re saying, although some of the places say “do not unhitch”. The legs stop any added weight being transferred to the hitch when we are in the van Cheers
Yeah - lol - free pub camps can be expensive - worth the experience - and when you catch up with mates in them - a few rounds each and a meal - yeah!!!
@@JohnCole-qv1fd great question, not sure we could answer that. However what we can say is that we are happy with our decision to sell up and travel full time. We would like to think that at 71 we will still be traveling. It all depends on our health and mobility. When it’s time to stop or slow down there are caravan parks in some pretty nice places. Cheers Paul and Wenda
Why's that? Many caravan parks are over priced . For us we cant justify cost in some of the big name parks especially when we dont want or use all the " play equipment. We Free camp when ever we can and do stay at showgrounds ect
Whilst interesting some of those spots are dreadful. I would prefer a secluded free camp by a river or use the money that you pay for a meal which can be upwards of $60 for camp by a river than behind a pub. They can be interesting on a Saturday nigh when locals get a skin full and have a disagreement. Interesting tho.
Thanks. Yeah must admit it’s not something we would do a lot of. But Country Pub Camping is one option and there are some iconic pubs around that are worth a visit. We’ve also had those Saturday night experiences! Cheers

Yeah that tap was tricky to get to! And no more Parmys for a while 😆

Thanks Marie, yeah there seems to be a few different options for overnight stops. We love trying them out!
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Thanks for sharing! Very helpful indeed.
Thanks that’s great to hear 👍

Thank you 😊 so glad you found it helpful

Very pretty country,thank You,Elaine from Queensland.
Yes it is, we are very fortunate to live in such an amazing country and to be able to travel the way we do

Thanks Bazz, yeah the SS&A comes up on Wiki camps but there’s no way we’d get in there! Still it was a good feed

I have just found your channel and love it. A bit of local knowledge, Marulan is pronounced Ma roo lan. Keep the videos coming.
Haha awesome thanks. Place names are always a challenge 😉

We love pub camping but I do tend to get mixed up the locals and Judy reckons it's not cheap then, lol.
Haha yep that’s the risk, fortunately it’s not too far back to the van
Cheers
Thanks for sharing this info
Our pleasure thanks for watching 👍
Cheers
I allways find it better to unhitch and move forward slightly then level van nth/ sth. Dont know how the legs take the " pressure " off the springs
Yep I hear what you’re saying, although some of the places say “do not unhitch”. The legs stop any added weight being transferred to the hitch when we are in the van
Cheers
Yeah - lol - free pub camps can be expensive - worth the experience - and when you catch up with mates in them - a few rounds each and a meal - yeah!!!
You’re not wrong, definitely worth the experience and there are so many great ones around!
Cheers
Is it worth selling up and travelling full time at 71 yrs old

Can you please try something besides chicken schnitzel for dinner.
Haha when we get to Cloncurry I'll check out the menu😉
Maybe you guys should stick to caravan parks. :)
What, and miss out on these great places? Nah we’ll keep working on our technique 😉
Why's that?
Many caravan parks are over priced .
For us we cant justify cost in some of the big name parks especially when we dont want or use all the " play equipment. We Free camp when ever we can and do stay at showgrounds ect
@@Mick_4591 yep and then pump up the prices even more during school holidays!
@@Mick_4591 Totally agree and not only that, caravan parks are just so crowded these days and the sites are ridiculously small
@@onlyleavingfootprints Exactly my thoughts.
As vans are getting bigger its becoming more and more a loom see and keep moving on

My hubby said the same thing. It costs more staying at pubs, but in saying that we do love pub camping
Ss&A club you need photo id.
You both have licenses so that should be enough
We do but one didn’t have it with her
@@beyondthegreyoz fair enough
No way would i pay $76 p/n in any caravan pk.........
Yeah steep eh? But that’s what it cost in some of these places 😢
