  • Join us on an epic road trip through Far North Queensland! We start at Pinnarendi station stay and cafe, cooking up a mouthwatering Indian curry with The Spice Tailor. Explore Kuranda's markets and take in the beauty of Barron Falls. Then, dive into the pristine Babinda Boulders for a refreshing swim. Finally, hold on tight as we tackle the Bloomfield track with our caravan on the steepest, narrowest roads - up to 31% incline! 🚐🏞️🍛🏊‍♂️

    Frenchmans track, towing a caravan made me click on it.. I drove this in a lifted gq in September and my first thought was I wonder how they’re going to go getting down to the river and up the other side.. haha smart bailing. You have just earned yourself, a new subscriber. ✌️

    Another stunning episode, good on you for carrying the shredded spare and not dumping it on the side of the road like some grubs.👍
    Good to see Lil back behind the wheel, great confidence booster. I always love my weekly dose of Lil and Jake. 🤩😍🥰

    Great work again guys. Always lovely to wake up on a Saturday morning and watch the weekly dose of Lil and Jake. Excellent work. Only wish I was out there with you coming up behind you on your little trailer. So glad you made it to the top of the hill wish I was a fly in the caverns all the cars going past you. That would be fun. Just remember Jake any time you go to grab the towel grab the snorkel. If you think that was nice, next time you're down this way I'll show you a paradise.

    If it is raining, drop one corner post a few inches on the awning. The rain will drain off at that post and not pool, which can damage your awning. Cheers TJ

    Just catching up on a few episodes. Well that was pretty hectic and all of that before you even get to the Cape. How beautiful is the Daintree ❤️. No rain for 7 months, nice!! Meanwhile here in Melb I haven’t seen any rain for 7 minutes😂. I really wish people wouldn’t put stickers on signs that are important like that one.

    • @lilandjake
      @lilandjake  ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely!!! Can’t believe the 31% road! Sooo crazy. 😅 The Daintree is just stunning, such dense rainforest right next to the beach! It’s amazing. Hahahahah, that’s how we felt living in Tas, especially this time of year. It would 100% be the longest we’ve ever gone without rain! So insane. 🤩

  • @mickp10
    @mickp10 ปีที่แล้ว

    You guys are hysterical to watch 😅. It's like watching two comedians travelling Australia. I remember doing some of that track in the 80's as one of 5 kids in a Toyota Tarago going through water crossings, eating coconuts fallen from the trees overlooking the beach. The tropical rain forest is beautiful.

    • @lilandjake
      @lilandjake  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Tammy, yea it's actually going pretty well considering what we've put it through recently, it's obviously a cheap van but it's the best pick of the hybrids we think, we also have no affiliation with blue tongue so we can say what we want. The star visions look good but I think they've got too many stickers!

    • @tammymcgill5873
      @tammymcgill5873 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@lilandjake Thanks for taking the time to reply. We live in FNQ and would like to park ours in our existing garage to keep out of the rain, so options are limited due to height. We just sold our Blue Tongue forward fold camper and had no trouble with chassis and suspension etc. Hybrids all have their pro’s and con’s (including star vision it seems) - now to make a decision 🤔. Love your genuine/down to earth vids and ook forward to each episode 👍👏
