- PART 1. This is a very special video for us as it's the VERY FIRST one made while we are living and traveling full time in our caravan. It's literally our dream come true and we are so excited to be sharing our journey with you!
This video will take you from Melbourne to Devonport on the Spirit, into Ulverstone, back through to Grindelwald and up Jacob’s Ladder on Ben Lomond.
It was a real struggle to try and build the Chev during COVID and it's still not finished. Bits were added on during our 5 day stopover in Melbourne before we jumped on the Spirit, things were made and fitted during our first stop in Launceston and there is still plenty more that needs to be done when we get back to the mainland. But what we have is incredible and does the job even better than we could have hoped for. Stay tuned for our build video which we will be filming once the build is complete. We will do a canopy run-down soon for those of you who are interested in what's inside our GCI Traytec Canopy and how we are finding it now we are actually using it.
We hope you enjoy episode one of our Tassie adventures. Please leave your feedback in the comments below, share your Tassie adventures with us, let us know where you think we should go and most of all, if you haven’t been to Tasmania, start planning your trip! If it’s simply not possible then we hope we can bring a little bit of Tasmania to you.
Belated watching, I know. But really excited to learn more about Tasmanian.
Really appreciate the journey you are on and the lessons we learn from your travels!
Thanks!! There’s lots of Tassie info in that series! 😁😁
Watching your popular episodes.. that Trek was not everyone's cup of tea 😂 and after reaching the top the mountains were so looking so beautiful from that vantage point. And good to see your mom and dad they are so fit . God bless you all.
Oh thank you! Yes, we love Tasmania! Going back there for Christmas this year 😁😁
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown great 🤗🤗
That was pure awesomeness !!!!. Thanks for sharing, take care, Cheers.
You’re very welcome 😊
I have recently been watching all your new videos since i found you guys when you collected your new Titanium Van.
I love it that much I am going to binge watch from this video forward. I can't wait. I love your content!!
OMG thanks so much Josh. We bloody love the support 🙌🏼😁
Tassie is one of the best places we love to visit great walks great views great people
We totally agree - love Tassie! 😁😁
Great video cannot wait to see it in the flesh
Thanks mate 😁🤙🏼
Wow! With the first episode watched, I am excited to continue! Amazing production and beautiful sights! Makes me want to visit.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 This feedback is really motivating 😁
No. Stay away. There’s nothing to see here.
Excellent vlog for first episode. When I was in Australia in 1973 the UTE was the pickup of the time which was about the size of a Ford Ranger. Your vehicle is great and would be good in Canada. You have a fan from British Columbia. I am in NW BC 5 minutes from Alaska. All the best and I am subscribed. Gary
Oh thank you and welcome to our channel 😁😁 Yes, a friend of mine in Canada has the same truck as us and loves it 👍🏼 It’s built for what we do 😁
Great spots and a great vid
Thanks! There’s plenty more to come in the next one 😁😁
Great vid 👍 found your channel a few weeks back and been watching flat out! Cheers 👍
FYI, place where you park, loo and picnic before doing the circuit is usually know as the “trail head”. 👍
Thanks Collie....We love the support
i’ve just came across this video, i’ve been to all the places and it’s so amazing to see other people enjoying it as much as i did, Hello from launceston 😆😆
Thank you! I’m a Launnie girl too 🥰 It’s funny how when I lived here I left the state for my holidays! Now that I don’t live here I come back here to explore 😅 Our next episode goes up Sunday night. Tassie is just so beautiful ♥️
Hi guys....... You mentioned the Motorcross track.
I have some history of the Motorcross track.
The first Motorcross track near Penguin was called Jaro Park.
My brother used to race at Jaro Park. The club was called
Coastal Junior Motorcross Club.
The club had to move their track to it's current location........ Which is Blackwood Park....... The reason for the club had to move was because of the people who lived in the vacinity of Jaro Park, were complaining about the noise from the bikes, so the council said that the club had to find a new location.
My father built the original Blackwood Park track........ My father used a bulldozer to construct the track....
I sometimes rode on the bulldozer with my father.
My brother didn't race on the new Blackwood Park track.
Since then the track has been done for some reason......... The track doesn't look like what it used to.
Some useless information.
Useless but very interesting! So many tracks have been closed down due to residents complaining 😑
Great job with this one guys. Have a great trip.
Thank you! It’s been great so far 😁
Will come with you on your journey. Having a caravan is such a blast there is so much to see in Oz :)
Caravans are the best, aren’t they? 😁😁
Taking the cruiser to Tassie for 4 weeks in February (hopefully) can't wait.
You will love it!! We are here for 3 months and it’s still not long enough 😅

Thanks so much 😁🙏🏼 We’ve actually just returned from the West Coast - I’m just waaay behind with the TH-cam edits! Although if you go back to some of our older videos (filmed on the iPhone!) you’ll see our west coast adventures from 2 years ago😅 You’ll see some of our current content on IG and FB. 👍🏼

Gday guys , I’ve just subscribed to your channel .. dig your content. I’ve had a quick look to find your reasons for choosing the chev, and it’s and canopy build , but couldn’t find it??
Hi and welcome! 😁👋🏼 We haven’t done our build video yet as the Chevy is still not finished! (Thanks Covid 🙄) but it should be done when we are in Melbourne Aug-Oct (again Covid dependant!) We did do a blog post on the GCI Traytec canopy on our website though 👍🏼 We chose the Chevy because it’s built to do the job and it does it very well and is like a 4x4 limousine! Super comfy with all the luxuries. We are pretty heavy so we needed a capable vehicle.

George town is the oldest town, you should come to it. Great camping out Low Head with great views from the Low Head lighthouse within a 10 minute drive
Thanks for that! We have been to Georgetown a few times. It’s a great little spot! 😁
Awesome!!
Thanks 😁😁😁

Great video I’m glad I found you guys. I have a question about the Chevy did you have to order it from the states or you bought it over there
Thanks 😁 We bought it down in Melbourne 👍🏼
I got one here and I love it
Is it true ,spirit
of Tassie terminal is moving to Geelong due to huge increase port charges in port of Melb.
I read this ‘In 2020, Spirit of Tasmania, announced it would move its Victorian port operations from Station Pier, Port Melbourne, to Corio Quay, Geelong. The company has signed a new 30-year lease with GeelongPort to relocate to Corio Quay in 2022 when the Station Pier lease expires.’
Omg this is the best love seeing tassie can't wait for the next video well done guys keep up the excellent work and hello from Oatlands Tasmania ❤
Oh how cool! Oatlands is super cute 😁
Thanks for watching! The next episode should be dropping in a couple of weeks. Just have to stop exploring and start editing! 😅
Hey :) Which style LSKD jacket are you wearing on the ferry? The khaki green coloured one? I'm loving it!!
Thanks! It’s super old - like one of the first they released for women I think. Lol. This is the one online now www.lskd.co/products/auxiliary-jacket-lt-taupe?_pos=6&_sid=64af07bef&_ss=r
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown Thanks so much :-)
@@michylalewis1109 no worries! It's not the same, but it's pretty close! Make sure you use our code ADUCREW so you get a discount :)
Hobart, Launceston then New Norfolk are the 3 oldest towns in Tasmania. New Norfolk started as Elizabeth Town.
Good to know. Thanks! :)
What the hell do you guys do for work to allow the rigs/lifestyle. Very envious
We worked hard setting ourselves up for a long time ... and now we work on the road 😁👍🏼
47:35 travel Tasmania and Australia - LOL. Word now is travel WA and Australia.
😂😂😂
How can you guys justify a 28 mpg tow vehicle when plenty will do it easy at 14 meg or less.
It’s 28ltrs per hundred.
thank you for beauty detail video beauty part of Australia
do not put caravan over 2000kg behind small light 4x4 truck if say tow 3500 kg trailer
Hello Robert, Not sure what you mean?
If you haven’t been thru New Norfolk yet contact Derwent VALLEY SUP SCHOOL. Check it out on Facebook
We have already been through there ... what a shame! 😐
Can I ask what hat you're wearing mate?
It’s a Stanton from Hats by the Hundred on the Gold Coast 👍🏼
Good video but Far to many ads!!
Yes, I raised this complaint with TH-cam - but there’s nothing we can do 😔
