LIVING ON A PRIVATE ISLAND!!! We ditch the van for a beach hut!! Pumpkin Island - QLD.

Do you think you could handle owning a private island on the Great Barrier Reef??
Well, I reckon we could! We ditched the van and spent 3 nights in a beach hut on Pumpkin Island off Yeppoon in QLD. And LOVED IT!!!!
We copped some stubborn weather so we didn't get to do any snorkelling but we had such a good time relaxing with a few wines at the sunset bar, cooking some delicious wood fired pizzas and exploring the island.
This place is for sale by the way.... So if you've got a cool 25 million bucks then your in with a shot!!
Enjoy guys - Justin & Bec

It all started when…
In December 2015 we packed up and hit the road for what we thought would be a 12 month Lap of Oz. Fast forward 4 years and we decided to create a video series of our travels to show you all what it’s like to live life on the road!!

From Minnesota USA....I am a Queenslander ...married a Minnesotan 47 years ago. Your trip in a van is so enjoyable, love watching all you get up too play your gorgeous children. I homeschooled my two children too, and sometimes on the road here in the US. Keep up the tremendous work of showing off Australia....thanks so very much!!

Just got back from five nights, so relaxing. No high pressure to do anything. Only things available are fishing, swimming, snorkelling, drinking and relaxing! So hard to take. Not! 😀

Was island shopping and noted this place is on the market. Very nice spot. Just a bit to small with not too much vegetation left on it> But for a developed location its great if you not looking to start your own thing from scratch.

@qswedasf 4 жыл бұрын

@@TripInAVan Haha - yeah everyone now and then I'll look around the market. I work fully remote so always had a dream of having my own small island an making it sustainable and maybe even n resort/camp destination as secondary income. I love Aus but it and any fully developed tropical islands are pretty expensive. Georgian bay, Lake Ontario is very well priced. Some tropic areas like great priced as well but might be closed to smuggling routes :)

Hey Jason, Bec Try downloading Star Walk 2 to have a look at the stars using your iPad. I’ve got no affiliation with them but it really opens up the night sky. You hold the iPad up and move it around and it will show you where which stars, planets satellites and constellations are and their names. Regards Ralph

Love the whole thing, but the dead shark reminds me of my older brother chasing my sister down the beach with a massive flathead after he caught it at 1770. There were six of us kids and mum just told my sister she should’ve run faster as she couldn’t keep an eye on us all, all the time.
