9 things we WISH we knew before TRAVELLING AUSTRALIA FULL TIME!

Your point on expenses is unbelievably true. We follow a lot of other influences who live off $600 a week and now that we are doing it full-time, we can’t believe that we were blind enough to not think about it more. Sure we stay on the side of the road, look for free camps, ect but we didn’t think about the price of fresh veg or experiences for the weekly budget. Also important to note that a lot of free camps you need to be fully self-contained, this in particular stumped us quite a few times. Thank you for promoting realistic travel!

Caravans are to deer ..4x4 are to deer ..diesel to deer ...Australia is a beautiful place...but think before u go ..o...make shore u own your van and 4x4 before you go

Tasmanian hey? is that your sister man?

I have a 2016 VW Polo, lol, but the idea of selling everything and hitting the road is very tempting. The car is very economical and with seats down plenty of room. Not a good place to sleep though!

Are you both actually related to Russell Coight?

I agree that its getting harder and harder to find free camps around Australia. The cost of fuel has also increased significantly.

Thanks for these tips, gives me more confidence for when I leave.

What’s a realistic weekly budget? (Family of 4)

This is really great advice. Thank you

when you say find a hobby can that be drinking?

Oh god Lil, i dont think i like you, speak over the top of yr mate, talk down to him in a ridiculing manner, uncomfortable to watch.
Im not subscribing from this watch i ng this video. Sorry.

Yeah nah, heaps of free camps all around Oz. Done a lap & literally only stayed in c~van parks 3 times.

I grew up in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, in the valley country area, and l never leave the house without my bag filled with bottles of water, snacks, a hat, wet wipes, sunglassess, sunscreen, my phone, power pack to charge up my phone, bandaid, period pad, tissues, $500 in cash, bank card, and my ID, Myki public transportation card and face mask that hangs at the end of my ID holder around my neck.

After number 6 there mate she shut ya down

hi you haven't traveled the Kimberley.

If camped overnight switch your caravan fridge over to gas

Cheers for your tips list. We are about to upgrade from a camper trailer to a proper caravan for full-time travel over the next few years.

As an avid outback tourist {motorcycle], I must commend you on the good advice that you have offered. Cheers

Did you know 99% of Australia isn't Tasmania before you left?

Good advice!! Thanks heaps for the video.

People have a caravan and ute value nearly $200,000. But scout around being cheap rs's trying to look for FREE camping.

Here'ar? Did I really hear her say that?

I'll be on the road full-time in 5 months and just thinking of use my car or other options.
1. Rip the rear seats on my Kluger or 2. Buy a Toyota Hiace 4WD or 3. Import Toyota Hiace 4WD from Japan.

Any thoughts you guys? or anyone here in this chat.

Take a good first aid kit

Hi y'all your show is great. I think y'all are good people. You are living my dream life. The tips are great.
I really like the music . Would it be possible to post a playlist?

Research Long Ranger underbody water tanks, water bladder and Rainsaver Gutter Systems

Research Long Ranger under body water tanks, water bladder and Rainsaver Gutter Systems. Happy trails, good luck. If you get near Esperance, check out the full size complete Stonhenge and Lucky Bay.

Then you haven't been to Middleton it's about 200km to nearest town. Boulia is 350km to nearest big town. Birdsville just to name a few

Smashing
Yes, water and power as much asvpossible
WA free camp is fine, other than SW corner (Margaret River etc). We are fans of gravel pits.. sad I know.
Number 1 priority: snake proof fence for the dogs.
Great video series...cheers

I love you Lil and Jake you are the man, I feel like I’m travelling with you. Safe travels.😊

Gday guys ❤ from Brummies on the road (England)

Let me guess, don’t buy a ranger? Smartest thing you could have said 😁

Honestly, fuck Australia. Only place I was ever called a g**k.
You think for $50 per night you'd get a luxury camping spot but no, a shanty town in Africa has better amenities.

Novices.. you will learn, you are so off the mark with some of your tips and complaints.
How long have you actually been on the road?
Keep enjoying things though.. the learning comes only with the doing.

Iv camped 15k kms in my van. Never paid to stay anywhere. And so you didnt have enough battery. How much did you have ? How much solar have you got. Why did u run out ?

Love what your doing. All good points, one thing I would strongly advise, share the driving! If you're a couple as most seem to be, take turns. Sitting for long stretchers as a passenger can become boring and for the driver dangerous. Driver needs to take a rest or share the experience and the only way that can happen is if " He"/ they, have full confidence in the co-driver . The only way that will happen is with practice. Also if one or other is sick , injured or incapacitated the other needs to be fully able to take control. De rigging, Hitching up , reversing, whatever. You should both become expert travelers. Another good tip, when disaster [bogging ] strikes, have a cup of tea!

Hi Guys, David again. Just wondering about grey water tanks. Our van doesn't have one at present and I am wondering how many times you have had to have one to stay in a location. Also wondering where you source your fresh water from - I understand many small towns are down on people filling up at the public toilets or a tap in town somewhere. Do you fill up in caravan parks or pay for water at pay for water stations?
