In this episode, we take our campervan to Portland, Victoria which is just over 4hrs drive from Melbourne.
While in town, we checked out the Portland Maritime Discovery Centre to learn about Portland’s maritime history. The museum features a range of exhibits, including displays on the region’s Aboriginal heritage, early European settlers, and the development of Portland as a maritime hub.
We jumped into our friend’s ute and visited the nearby Cape Nelson Lighthouse, which guided ships safely along the rugged coastline since 1884. The lighthouse offers guided tours, and you can pay a fee to climb to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding cliffs and ocean.
We parked our campervan at Portland’s WW2 Memorial Tower, where Dean took the stairs up to take in the views of the town and coastline.
We saw Portland’s Cable Tram take tourists up and down the streets of Portland. We learned that behind the Cable Tram Depot Museum not far from centre of town is a free RV camping spot for self-contained vehicles.
We enjoy part-time van life (and now also camping with our Jimny), creating weekly episodes that are live at 5pm (AEST) on Sundays, and sharing our experiences on our travels with our cavoodle, Twyla. In our episodes we stay at free and paid campsites, showing our tips and tricks for making life on the road easier and more fun. Come join us on our adventures!

Love Portland. You did a great job showing the highlights. The semi trailor tipping at the log yards is also amazing to see. Looks like they're going to launch it into space

I am a frequent visitor to this town and you did a good job showing some of the sights. It also has a wonderful library with local history section and an interesting art gallery. That free camp can be noisy at night if they are loading the timber and sawdust for Japan. Locals are very helpful and there’s also a great camping store in town.👍

Hi Dean Adam and Twyler Just wanted to let you know one of my Xmas wish presents was your Hoody which my Daughter got for me so very happy with it so bloody warm. If any of your viewers want to know what it's like I give it a 10/10 like I said warm the material is high quality comfortable what more could one want. Can't wait for the colder weather to wear it while we are sitting outside our caravan and having a beer

Hi Deano and Adam. I’m still in Tassie. Marcus my son has been struggling with cancer now for 6 years. They were going to renew their vows last Saturday but he had to go to hospital he was so ill. He came home yesterday. I’m coming home Wednesday. It’s such a hard struggle to see him so unwell. Love you two ❤❤
