The sunset was stunning. Food looked great! You keep your place tidy. My son lives in Newy. They took the kids to Somersby Waterfalls last weekend. Wasnt anyone around. He takes his kids to caves beach regularly. The Shark Hole was amazing 😊 Thanks for sharing 👍

Ive been in my van coming up to 3.5 years and do 50/50 Sydney/Travel and a fair share of street parking in industrial areas and never experience the noise/burnouts you have (haha) ... maybe all those windows in your van ;) I do have sound deadening and insulation and less windows so it might help but I sleep so well in the van. Loved seeing the whale footage :)

@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces It looked big on the footage so it must have been huge. I will definitely have to visit that place. I will need to compile a list of places based on your videos. I would have thought it would be harder to get back on the ladder given it is 5ft off the ground? 🤣

It's a VoltaX LiFePo4 300Ah. Definitely on the cheaper end so the capacity could be questionable, but when I looked at my data, it was about 5 days with hardly any charging, mainly because I hadn't driven much and it was very cloudy. Makes sense really.
