Another great video Jason. Terrific footage as well as the scenes that had tripod like stability. The bike camera footage is excellent. It was also good to hear you talk about your reason/s for getting out and into Vanlife. Being in your fifties and doing it while you can. A good age to break away from the grind of work and enjoy your life for sure. Thanks and cheers, Sean.

The bike ride was nice through all the ferns and rainforest 😊 But the walk to the waterfall was the highlight for me , absolutely stunning scenery, so pretty. Thanks for sharing 😁

Thanks for taking us on your mountain bike ride - sorry it wasn't quite as an enjoyable challenge for you as it was for me. I doubt I'd find it as much fun if I was actually doing it as I am not familiar with riding a bike on those type of trails but, vicariously through your camera, it is/was great - even better than your slightly less challenging rides which are also great fun. So glad you made the decision to enjoy your life and even gladder you are sharing these beautiful places. 👍👍

Enjoy watching your videos and all the beautiful places you go. Just curious if it was you my husband and i saw at the club at Old Bar not long ago. this man looked like you but i thought it might be some one who looked similar. Looking forward to your next video.

I worked as a Paramedic in this area for many years. Went to some horrendous injuries from the mountain bike track during that time. A lady also broke her ankle on the Falls Walk and had to be winched out, which all went well. Her husband and dogs were supposed to walk back out to their car, but he never emerged. A major search ensued for many, many hours. It got dark and the sign posting was pretty average to say the least. He got off track and couldn’t find his way back. We eventually found him when we heard his dogs bark, but he had been wandering for about 6 hours at that point and was a man in his late 7O’s. Thankfully he was unharmed. The Pines can get wild. We used to go up there frequently to big parties where it was usually someone super intoxicated teenager puking. Hard to find a prettier place when it’s quiet though.

During winter I use a -10° double size sleeping bag unzipped and put it underneath me and over the doona. Been doing it for a few years now and gets me through winter and haven't had to use the 12v electric blanket since.

You're overhead wire baskets held up well over the rough roads.

If travelling North I think you would love Hawks Nest and Seal Rocks!

Well Done Using your precious water to put the abandoned fire pit out, 👍🏻👍🏻. 🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺🙏🏻 OK some very adventurous bike riding, walking, and climbing going on, what a stunning location- Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

I love the bushwalks through the forest and waterfalls and spotting fungi. Thank you for sharing. I can no longer do forest walks so I get to experience it while in my armchair.

Thank you SO much for the fungi shots 🤩. And the waterfalls. And the mossy rocks. I love all of it, and look forward to every new video. Living vicariously through your adventures until I can get a van of my own.

Thanks for showing us around, great spot for a refreshing winter swim 🥶

Beautiful part of the world. Good of you to extinguish that fire left as well.

Nice choice of pillow cases 😂. I bought a mountain ebike a year ago, and I've been loving it. Looks like there's some nice tracks down where you are.

Love watching your adventures as everyone here does the mtb riding is great but I'm way too old and know how things hurt nowdays so I'll just watch you doing it lol...... whenever i watch your adventures though i always wonder if you carry a personal epirb .....i hope so.... also I'm trying to guess your previous occupation..... let's start with....pilot

I really enjoy your videos and look forward to each new episode. Haha, Mr. Blue, you’re The Blue Wiggle to me! 😆

Another lovely spot. Nice lookout, palms and waterfall. That rope climb down! Must admit I get a bit giddy on your MTB rides but love them haha.

Blues Clues 😂 Spectacular location 🌿

Love the videos mate. You should go to Oberon when it snows

Another good episode, and fantastic MTB riding. If you don't have a few "whoops" moments when riding, you're not trying hard enough, I'd say. 😁 And I too find it extremely frustrating when people have no idea and/or just don't care about camping/picnic etiquette. Plenty of times when I arrive at a campground, the first thing I do is pick up other people's rubbish left behind.

Great video! I see what you meant about the track to Abbotts falls being complicated. I’m glad I got to see it through your eyes because it’s definitely beyond my capabilities lol 😂 The plant life out there looks spectacular! The pines camp area is where I just camped in April. I hate irresponsible campers that leave fires & rubbish & stuff too. I love that you coordinate with the blue, I do the same thing with pink lol

Waterfalls rocks nice nice nice

1 Celsius in van in Castlemaine Vic area this morning. I was warm enough. Just thought I’d comment for anyone wanting to van camp in winter in a much simpler (cheaper 😜) set up than yours. I have good insulation, thick curtain window coverings and a Mr Heater buddy on for about 10 mins before bed and first thing in the morning. You do have dress warmly though. What’s the consensus on driving corrugations - really slow or fast? Either way feels hard on the van. Thanks for the vid! 🥰

No leeches for me thank you.

Have you or will you be camping in the snow? My daughter and I want to try car camping and will be doing it at Oberon as soon as we get snow there. Any tips on how to keep the car warm inside during the night? Unless I sell my house, car camping is the closest I’m going to get to van life camping 😅
