The Feel Good Family - Lap Around Australia Series

Күн бұрын

This episode we travel from Charleville in Western Queensland 455km to Chinchilla, and camp at a fantastic bush camp on the lagoon. We are the home stretch now, having already travelled over 7500km on our Uluru road trip.
But first we stop through Roma and visit the Big Rig, a great tourist attraction with a sound and light night show that explores the history of the region.
Then we are headed back to the Gold Coast to close off this epic road trip adventure to the Red Centre!
Our epic road trip from South East Queensland to the incredible Red Centre - Uluru and Kata Tjuta - the beating heart of Central Australia, is almost over!
We’ve driven over 7500km across a 28 day period to complete this mini lap of Australia - a road trip we believe every Aussie should experience in their lifetime!

This hurts me to say because I really don’t want to world to know about camping in the Western Downs Regional Council area. During COVID the council spent $squllions on their free/ low cost camping. Chinchilla Weir, Lake Broadwater, Tara Lagoon and Caliguel Lagoon next to Condamine. When we were there we even scored a free powered site at Caliguel. In fact, we made a special trip doing all of these and later went back for a week at Lake Broadwater. Congratulations to the council for these amazing facilities along with the Ruben Lagoon you stayed at that entire area is well worth spending a bit of time doing some high quality camping.

So true Ross and thank you for sharing these other campsites 🏕️ we were blown away that you could get a free camp with power!! The first we’ve seen of this in our travels and we will definitely look at your recommendations above for our next journey on the western downs 💙🇦🇺🙏🙌 safe travels 😊 P,K&J

What a great 28 day trip . Thanks for the wonderful tag along , we have thoroughly enjoyed the ride and look forward to the next trip where ever you are heading . We are about to do a 28 (or there about ) day trip from Perth to Exmouth and back through wildflower country but certainly not the same kms as only 1500 kms to Exmouth .

Wonderful episode Paul, Katie and Jasperooni ! I love your easy going presenting styles, all very inspirational, informative, fun, honest, and entertaining! Such big travel days you are completing too! I remember when living in Rocky, a day trip to Mackay was over 300 kms, and we thought nothing of it! Living back in Vic now, and can't imagine doing such big drive days, but I think the vastness of Queensland makes it seem easier in some ways to tackle the long stretches, as well as that 'can do' Queensland vibe! Thanks again for a wonderful series! :)

Thank you Jo! When we speak with overseas visitors they can’t imagine doing these distances - a couple from the UK said “you’d get from the top to the bottom of the UK doing those distances at home in a single day! 😅🇦🇺💙 Australia is so massive and so incredibly amazing 🕺
