Great sightseeing, Bluey-well done! About six months ago, we were staying in our van at Lennox Head (Northern NSW). One early morning, I woke up to find a local council ranger putting warning notices on the windscreens of several vans, including ours. I quickly ran across the road to speak with him before he drove off. I mentioned that there were no "No Camping" signs where we had parked, but he informed me that the signs are posted before you enter the precinct, and that's considered sufficient. Wow! When you think it's too good to be true, it usually is.

If you get time go up to Barrenjoey and have a look at Palm beach. There's a really nice walk that goes up to the Barrenjoey light house and when you get to the top the view is spectacular, looking back back up to the central coast. I know that area really well as I spent the first 30 years of my life there. Its a beautiful place will always be home to me where ever I am. Loving your videos.

nice video, nice cuts, like this dude.

In the Manly area check the signs at the entrance to the park - they list what is / is not permitted.

Great video as always Jason. Your depiction of van life and all of it's intricacies is the real deal - warts and all. A half an hour of great viewing for me. Cheers, Sean.

So many wonderful views , thank you for all the beach views , another great vid

With all the restrictions ever increasing, no parking, no camping, no this no that. "The liberty deniers". Good you can still find places to stay. Lived in Sydney for 10 yrs, never realised there were such pleasant locations. Nice footage, keep enjoying what your doing.

There is a green and white sign at the entrance to Tania Park that says “no camping or overnight stays in this reserve”

Nice one mate. Now that you've done the North Heads, you should try and do the other two (South & West heads).

Great video again! It will be interesting to test the limits and see if you're hassled by the authorities in unrestricted areas. Especially the spots with magnificent views!

Another good episode Jason. Seeing you do Awaba MTB park in the past few videos, inspired me to go for a ride on it. Tell you what, I don't remember it being as hard as I found it on this ride, compared to when I last rode on it (some 3-4yrs ago). Goes to show how much your fitness drops once you stop being active. But I've enjoyed it nonetheless. Cheers.

Loving your videos. 🚙

Hi Jason, I am loving the videos. The bike videos look very fast and I wonder how you stay on the bike. It is really good you are highlighting the scenery, coastal and mountainous. They are places I haven’t heard of. Alex in Victoria.

Sydney is very fortunate to to have all those National parks within it, that and the waterways is what makes it a special city. Is that barracks area where the quarantine station used to be? Lovely to see the view again (for me) across to the city, always loved the area. Bit too busy nowadays, though where you were seemed almost deserted! I'm sure it was around Dobroyd there used to be shacks right on the cliff face but they eventually moved the people out (or they died off). Imagine having that view daily, year long! None of the tracks seem to be looked after carefully these days, not getting the funding I guess :(

Enjoyed the nature and scenery of the east coast from my armchair 😂, my pup likes to watch too

Bunnings have great ‘child proof’ locks that bend around corners in various sizes and they are super strong. I use them to keep quite heavy drawers closed. One word of caution is they are so strong the sticky bits are almost impossible to remove. I’ll try and post a link to them. Cheers, Deb

30:00 That rock carved fish seems to be inside a bigger fish 🐟or could it be a map to point where the fish was? 😹 I've been enjoying your adventures and appreciating the variety you bring to them (haven't been able to watch several though 😓)... I'm glad to see your content getting more attention, well done Jason. I'm also writing because I saw that late 🍨at 13:54 and the 🫐 muffin 😜Why did I notice those especially when I haven't been able to keep up with most of your videos? It's probably that synchronicity weirdness everyone talks about coming back with a vengeance 🤣 I've listened to Matt Walker (sleep expert) in a science based podcast (HubermanLab) and other nutrition/MDs podcasts. This might be useful: - carbs/sugary stuff later in the day induces hyperglycemia (potential trigger for diabetes) and prevents restorative sleep (sometimes falling asleep) - if you still crave sugars at night, have something with fiber first and then mix the sugary foods with pure lemon juice, cinnamon or even raw blueberries - they blunt the insulin spike - dense foods have the opposite effect, e.g. legumes and vegetables need to be fermented by the gut = carbs slowly released (having a can of beans and vegetables in hot water might not trigger dopamine, but you'll end up sleepier for sure) - having caffeine in the afternoon, electric or overhead lights, pure water, intense heat/exercises before bedtime induce waking up - getting late sunlight and cooling down the body (e.g. taking a hot shower or putting your feet on warm water) induces sleep - early sunlight (first 30 minutes) after waking and avoiding late afternoon naps regulates your circadian rhythm, improving sleep - for noise outside, earmuffs over earplugs These are the essentials: I've adjusted several of my habits based on them and sleep improved significantly, that's why I wrote that earlier comment (months ago? I apologize 😅) Hope this helps and somewhat compensates my lack of commenting in previous videos, but damn, I didn't expect to write an essay here, I'll shut up now 🤐 Keep up with the great 🚐life journey 💪

I'm in Sydney, wishing I was out there, doing what you're doing. Take care.

Great lifestyle :) Definately frustrating with the 'movealongs'... what with the cost of living, renting or buying and lack of options, we may have many more people living their best life in Vans :)

You'd make a great housesitter, if you ever feel you'd like to rest in one place for a while, then venture out in between. I LOVED housesitting, and people called me back to come and mind their homes again.

I always take the scenic route between Newcastle and Sydney. So much nicer than the motorway.

I stumbled upon your channel the other day and have enjoyed watching your videos. I am taking notes of all the cool hiking trails, lookouts and waterfalls I need to check out. Thanks for the info.

I'm thinking of travelling around Oz in a couple of months .what would you recommend mate a van like yours which looks amazing or a hilux with a slip on camper on the back like you use to have ?? Any suggestions appreciated . Love ya videos too

top tip to shorten your videos and hence save you time... cut out breakfast, lunch dinner and bedmaking segments ;) Frank from Sydney

Wondering about sleeping in the van in the Bondi Beach front carpark?

So self centred, boring.
