CROSSING THE NULLARBOR | FAMILY TRAVELLING AUSTRALIA | EPISODE 1
We are a family who have been travelling Australia for over a year living full time in our caravan. Now we're crossing the Nullarbor! In this episode we start at Perlubie in South Australia where we do some beach camping, before we take you across the Nullarbor to Lake Macdonnell (a beautiful pink salt lake), Bunda Cliffs on the edge of The Great Australian Bite, and some of the Nullarbor Links Golf Course (don't worry, if you don't like golf, we don't show too much of it!). Crossing the Nullarbor has been on our bucket list for ages - as we've wondered what it's really like?!
WANT SOME TOWING TIPS? Stick around until the end as we share with you what we learnt on our towing course, that we did before we started our Lap of Australia, as well as some things we've picked up ourselves while doing the big lap.
Do you like the episode? PLEASE LET US KNOW! Like, comment and subscribe so we know whether you enjoyed it or want to see more.
Thanks for the support, and we hope you guys enjoy it!
Cheers,
Danny & Eb

Hi Guys! If you enjoyed Episode 1, we're up to Episode 9 and still going. We turned the music volume down for future episodes in case it was too loud for you. Feel free to catch up on the episodes here: kzfaq.info/love/enxvjab0M2AGTw7g-78zegvideos

Hi Wandaful ofit, thanks for watching along. We're up to episode 6 now, so there's more to watch if you're interested. Love your comment re the driving. Yeah it seems pretty crazy to us that women and men both drive, but in some people's eyes, women lose their driving ability once we start towing something? Ridiculous! Anyway, glad you're enjoying it. Hope to chat to you more in the comments in future :-)

I will get there some day and will certainly take a road trip albeit not quite as long as yours, but then again maybe I will. I have shared your Facebook page with my daughter so she and her family can follow along as well!

I have been following trip in a van from the start, and others. I have watched the children grow up. The things they do. I write to them. Like tickle a crab tummy to put it to sleep. Or dry wave the hair using the car exhaust for a laugh. So I am looking forwards. I am saving for a dmax and been doing up a old caravan. To hit the road in a year and half. My partner Carolyn going to fly to meet me. I am retired now. Russell and Carolyn

That's awesome Rusty. We have got some feedback that people would like the kids involved a bit more, so will try to do that in future vids. TIAV kids are lovely kids. Ours played with them for a couple of weeks about a year ago in QLD when we were at the same camp. We'd love to do an old van up, that sounds very rewarding. Living on the road is bloody amazing, that's great that you and Carolyn will be doing it :-)

You're welcome. Sounds like a plan. It has helped us, and then along the way we've learnt things that we've taught each other. Sometimes though we've also agreed to disagree. It also helped to find a big car park or oval near our house before we left - we went there a few times and practiced some moves (like reversing in a straight line, and reversing into a spot). That helped build our confidence. Good luck and enjoy it!

Welcome to WA. Hope you have a truly wonderful time here. We love the Nullabor. Always found something different to see each time we've done it. (We 'sell' the real estate, listen to audio books, podcasts and sing our hearts out!) Great video. Really nice balance of scenery, points of interest to see as well as personal stuff. (Just one comment, if I may, for future videos. The audio level on you talking is very low compared to the music you've added. Perhaps when you add the music, do it at a slightly quieter level. We had the volume up fairly loudly to hear your commentary, so got fairly blasted when some of the music clips came along.) Love the chance to see how you hang your shoes (we've been battling with this issue for some time now). Does it affect the breeze coming in? How did you attach the shoe holder? Cheers.

@onthewaughpath6552 3 жыл бұрын

Hiya! Thank you for watching and for this wonderful feedback. Really appreciate your honesty re the audio - we've had a few comments re that and we've tried to turn the music bits down in episode 2 (it will be out Wednesday night and we're super excited for you to watch it!). Please let us know what you think about the volume in ep 2 so we can adjust if needed. The shoe holder is just held on the same way that it would be at home, but we have some wire down the bottom through the fly screen to keep it attached there too. It does reduce the breeze a fair bit, but we love it. Thanks again for the comment, appreciate it.

Hi Guys, Really enjoyed your video so far. We have a Grand Cherokee (2015) and recently purchased 2017 Jayco Journey 17.55-8 Outback ready for some adventure. Going through the set up process and noticed you have what looks like a monitor over your rearview mirror. Would this be for your caravan camera? If so can you advise what brand etc and if you are happy with the function. Look forward to your future videos, stay safe! Kind Regards Sue & Steve Niejalke
