Excellent video Danie. If you can do an update after you use it some, I am not in Aus but still neat to know how it works there. Starlink has become a "necessity" for some offroad and RV people in USA. You may be able to run that while driving if you have a way to protect the tilt head. You can be miles from a town and still share the same satellite as the town. If you want to see the difference in ability between contract or RV Changing Lanes did a video "STARLINK Head to Head! (Residential vs Portable/rv " He does a good explanation. Starlink is about half price in South and Central America to the USA. Always nice to see Marsy boy, hope you all stay safe and healthy.

Great vid. Sat internet will always have a place in rural Aus. It has its limitations, but is great for up/down speeds. Latency and ping are drawbacks on this tech, so gaming or livestreaming will struggle from Sat swap and distance to signal. Other than that, it works really well on packet fed info. So social media and the like will do fine, so long as you're not expecting to stream uninterrupted. Looking forward to the updates, keep us in the loop.
