    Daly Waters should definitely be an overnighter.
    If you want no one around at the Mataranka thermal pool, you have to be down there at 5am or after dark. :)

    Another top vid , I’ve realised why I enjoy your vids…the synergy between yourselves is excellent (I suppose it has to be lol)…plus you don’t talk over each other too.
    I’m finding once I finish watching your vids I’m checking google maps to see where you are , love the shots from the drone whilst your driving , very clever.

    Great episode. Just recently went to Mataranka and Katherine. Did the exact same thing, first to the thermal pool, then to bitter springs which I think was much better. Really recommended Nitmiluk national Park and the sunset dinner cruise on the gorge. It is expensive but worth every cent. One of the best experiences I have ever had

      @itsJackandMegan  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey mate no we do not have a grey water tank we have not come across any national parks that require it but we have come across a few free RV friendly places that require it. Our suggestion would be if you can fit it definitely have one will allow for more free camping👍

    Marty Advice; Don't stop and have lunch next to bins!
    If you get the chance to see 'Whippy Griggs", do it! Free show and does a lot of them at Mataranka.
    Enjoying your random rambles.
    Where are you guys right now?

    • @itsJackandMegan
      @itsJackandMegan  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey mate we carry 30lt inside the car in 3 10lt containers and 2x22lt water Jerry’s on the rear we have lately only been filling one jerry up and barley touching the 30ltrs inside the car if we are going remote and know we won’t be seeing a caravan park for a while we will fill everything up and take no chances because you just don’t know what will happen. It has been very easy finding water we have not had any problems with that.

    Loving your vids but saddens me to see the crowds at many of the places ive previously visited and had the place to myself, Im going to stay home and wait a while until everyone has "done their lap".and starts heading OS again Probably about 18 months away when there will likely be a massive glut of 4x4/touring vehicles and camper trailers/ caravans hitting the market with massive discounts!

      Hey Ade, the guy had to wait behind us for 5 minutes at the fuel station whilst I was inside paying for the fuel. It was a very busy fuel station and I had nowhere to park after I filled up- normally I’d move the car so the next person can start filling. After paying I came out and the guy was standing there arms crossed I said sorry mate and he lost it using every swear word in the book. The Troopy took a little while to start up when I got back in after that😉😉
