Yes and it works pretty well. Thanks for the comment !

Thanks Wayne, yes some of these prices are becoming outrageous. With that and its getting booked out, so I don't see them gettig any lower. We didn't know this place existed, it was reccomended by someone on the road, and we're glad we made the visit! It's all new to us in WA

@360-Explorers you learn so much from talking with other travellers. We were the same as you and hadn't heard of places until talking with someone. My wife is constantly looking at paper maps and researching of Google for places and what there is to see and do there, and what there is in-between. Paper maps show so much more than what online does.

That’s true. We just picked up a book of hard maps from BCF. It’s crazy how much you can miss. We’ve missed a lot we are going to try taking our time in places now

@360-Explorers if you have the time slow down and research on Google, it will change your trip and you will see things that you have never heard of.

Thanks Brad! Yes, we were misled by the website and brochure with weights. The service particularly let us down. But it is what it is I suppose. Hopefully, our expensive lesson can save someone else. haha I am a Carlton supporter, so i feel you!

We usually throw 1 steak in from frozen! 4-5 minutes each side and it’s perfect medium rare. First time we tried 2. But yes I reckon preheat would have worked! Give it a go from frozen. It’s only for when we decide last minute to have steak.

Unfortunately, we missed out on the Lost city and the homestead. With all the swimming we wanted to get back to Stella. Feeling a little guilty without her lol. Leaving a few things for when we come back. They don’t charge for it which was nice, and the fish were huge and didn’t get any nibbles thankfully from the fish or the crocs…. Hahaha

Hey Shane, oh yeah I’ll keep that in mind for next time! Thank you! Yeah would have been lovely for a catch and cook. Hopefully can get a few good fish soon, it’s been a while

@@360-Explorers all us fisherman go through our stages of not catching anything, hopefully your luck turns around with fishing Loving the videos, I wish I could do the big trip it’s just not the right time at them moment, so I’m just living it through your videos

@@shanemcmullen239 well that’s it mate. I really hope we’re doing it justice. Hopefully that time swings around much sooner for you. Thanks for the comment mate. Any questions about the lap feel free to get in touch and we’ll chat

Some of then locals said so! Sof says she couldn’t do it. Didn’t look appetising apparently lol

@360-Explorers I can't remember what the locals call them, something cobbler. I ate them with the owners of the old Zebra rock mine, and wow I wouldn't of thought that catfish could taste as good as they did.

Hundred percent ❤️

Yeah mate that was down in Melbourne, no doubt it would been super neat and tidy. But still. Lot of money. Portable options are great. Bluetti got in touch and sent us this to use and review and use it on the road! For some honest feedback.

We loved it! Wish we could have gotten the van in for some beach camping! Would have been superb. I’m happy the ranger found a way out. Will need to play around with pressures now as we are heading to the west coast via the Gibb. I’m looking for some tyre deflators for easier deflating option

@360-Explorers I just use an old fashion valve tool and remove the valve core and guess when I'm close to the pressure I want, you get close after doing it a few time's. Then just use a pencil gauge to adjust it exactly, I like simple things that I don't have to adjust or that will break. We dropped our pressures by 50% when doing the Gibb, so from 50psi to 25psi. Just remember to drop your speed when running lower pressure's and stop regularly to let the tyre's cool down. We stopped about every 30-40 minutes, had a good look around at everything, even inside the van. If something has moved it's best to find it before it does any damage. We never went over 80kph on the Gibb, at time's we could of walked faster. It's great watching your adventure and remembering where we have been. Thanks for sharing.

That’s what we are using now. I’m sticking with it now because it’s been good. That’s a great tip thank you. We might go to 20. And just take it easy. Bit nervous but should be right. We appreciate all your comments mate and I just hope we’re doing these awesome places justice with our filming.

@@360-Explorers stick with what works for you. Your filming is great.

Yeah we might have to on the softer sand from now. Never been that low but it would have helped I reckon.

Hello, I believe it may be the camera angle which portrays differently. Definitely, a Right hand drive. lol

Hey mate, Would love to know which scene this was?

Do you mean stop filming while the car is moving?? If not, Sofia was in the passenger side filming , then Sam was in the passenger side filming. Anyway, all good , thanks for sharing your travels, guys better luck on the rod next time, Samy boy 🤙🍻👍 Cheers

Thanks legend! Yeah it must look I was driving in the end or something. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate it ❤️

Hey Wayne, yes it was a little bit different from where we have been so far. Interesting place, the weather was perfect and there is a lot to do! Territory day was insane! Great to experience it

@@360-Explorers yes Territory Day brought back a lot of memories for me, I still miss cracker night. We were invited back to a roadhouse just outside of Kakadu that we made friends with the owners for Territory Day, wow ended up being a huge weekend. We were amazed with just how much there was to see in and around Darwin. Thanks for sharing your adventure, and looking forward to the next episode.

Hello :) She was fine up until they were set off 20 metres away from her and then she was a little on edge and preferred to stay in the caravan with dog tv playing lol then she was fine :)

That’s a great tip. Because I thought I could save this one and it gave us a lot of dramas. Once it was changed over. We never worried about it! Thanks for the comment :)

Yes, they were nice to us. Up until we went to pick up the van. Then they didn’t really care. But we were too excited to worry about it lol.

Haha yes that would be nice :) Stella was in the car. Only place for her to be unfortunately. We decided car was safer than the caravan anyway.

@@martinfinn674 Hey Martin, It’s a Ford ranger, right hand drive. Might be the camera angle maybe.

Hey, yeh we were going to say the same thing, we thought you'd swapped cars because of the right hand drive .... 😂 Stella is beautiful by the way. We have a tri-colour named Loki, he goes nuts when he sees Stella on the screen 😂😂

@@justincredible1473 hey Justin, we set off in October so it was fairly quiet on the roads.

Thank you! I know we tried to negotiate with the driver. But it’s health and safety protocol. We were a little concerned about her being in the car but gladly it worked out. Hopefully won’t have to do it again for a while. Thanks for the comment Paul ☺️

​@360-Explorers so, health & safety bollocks for dog but you had no seatbelt?

Tell me about it. If there was any other choice we would had done it. Let’s hope we don’t have to do it again!! Thanks for the comment

Hi Jay, So nice to hear from you. Thanks for the comment. we are soo excited about the West coast and yes we might do a drive down to Mataranka and Bitter springs. Maybe a day trip from Katherine. Hope you and the family are doing well ❤️

I don’t think so? There were a few ducks around - Sam

@@360-Explorers LOL

I know! What a crazy world we live in hey! Hahaha thank you for the comment Jay. We appreciate it ❤️

Thank you for the comment ❤️

Thanks Wayne. Water is something we’re still learning to use minimal of. I’ve noticed it’s a bit of a skill. So we bought some 20L bladders to fill up for extra water. You know, we met a guy with the same problem and was towed with a hire car accommodation and repairer. Because we were RACQ we were only entitled to the tow. And the person we met was RACV…. And they’re cheaper. So I might renew with RACV but I might also look into NRMA now. Thanks for that. 👍

@360-Explorers just phone around and find what works best for you. Remember to look at worst case scenario as that's when you need the insurance. NRMA has always worked for us with what they offer even though they are NSW based and we live in SA. We also only just learnt about the pet cover extra this week, we had never considered it, and thankfully it was a good NRMA consultant that my wife was talking to that asked if we travel with a pet. Pays to phone occasionally and have a chat about their products to make sure you have what best suits your type of travel.

Thanks Geoff, appreciate your support. Yes it’s just one of those things you’ve gotta do.

Yes, we did eventually when we had enough water. Thank you for the comment :)

Hey Jason, Yulara is the town close to Uluṟu which a lot of travellers usually stay at to visit Uluṟu. It’s about 20km away and they have a caravan park, fuel, shops etc.

Yes, weren’t very helpful. They use 2-3 different kinds so I pulled em off and got the numbers so hopefully can pick up some spares soon!

Thanks Matt. Appreciate the support!!

I thought so too, but that’s the way things are looking these days I think.

Thanks! Appreciate it Robo

Thank you so much! We appreciate it!

Yes, It''s getting to that point, we might have to do something. We wouldn't be able to lock it then to leave for a few hours. someone can pull our string lol

@@360-ExplorersThe door has to be unlocked before it can be opened from the inside.

@@Dgaardy oh yes thats right, might have a go sooon! Thank you

It's nice. But yes very expensive. They might start charging you to breathe in the near future. hahaha We have done kings canyon a few years ago, yes we loved it!

Good call! I have just pulled a couple off and got the numbers so I can buy some spares! and some grease of course. Thank you for the comment

@@360-Explorers By tools, I meant the seal puller for the rear seal. You should also get a common easy to find grease. You don't want to mix different types.

Jeez, $91 is crazy! We have heard kings canyon is expensive but we missed it. In Darwin, check out Coolalinga or Robbie Robbin’s reserve for reasonable pricing.

Yes,we have a bed, how come?

@@360-Explorers you looked like you were enjoying lying on the ground under the van and you showed it a couple of times. Ha Ha

@@johnpitt2742 hahahaha you’re not wrong mate! I’ll also be under the car today which isn’t ideal. But all part of the game

Hey John, that’s extreme for 30 years ago. Can you imagine what they’re charging now…. It’s getting ridiculous.

Thank you for the comment mate we appreciate it! We have the J tech suspension which are shocks.. no leaf springs. They go alright, not amazing because the van does rattle a fair bit. But we want to do the Gibb river road and we’re still iffy. I’ve heard good things about the roller rocker with leaf springs. If you take it easy I reckon we should be alright. Mate, doing the lap is the best thing ever! Let me know if you ever have questions

Hahaha yes if I don’t wear my seat belt you’ll hear the car beeping crazy at me. The wood bag has been sitting there for 5 months with no issue but the rocks from the Oodnadatta track ripped it and therefore it started hanging lower than usual, so we’ll get a replacement soon hopefully. The underground caves in Cooberpedy were wonderful and cool but to stay there you’ll need a tent or swag. I’m from Melbourne, Sofia originally from WA and came across to Victoria :) Thanks for watching

Thanks for the comment! Oh mate it’s been a 3 weeks now using a small flathead and everyday there is less and less handle to grab lol. Should get it sorted asap now. Alice Springs had nothing in stock! It’s gonna feel like a brand new van with a handle.

@@360-Explorers I used the small screwdriver by inserting it into the mechanism and making it do that the handle would do... Bit tricky but can be done..I bought my new handle in Port Augusta for $162 i think...complete assy... Good luck..

Hey mate, this was filmed roughly 3 weeks ago I reckon.

@@360-Explorers ok cool

@@crewzincool why’s that?

Just because I’m going there in a weeks time . And just looking at the track conditions. I don’t think it has rained much since you went

That’s the sort of thinking we need, never crossed our mind lol. Everything does happen for a reason haha thanks for the comment

We were in Adelaide wondering what spares we should take? A handle would have been nice! Because now we’ll wait to get to Darwin. Might buy a couple I reckon. I feel like if we carried a spare, it’d never break! lol

Yes, Ribas was great! we enjoyed our stay! CooberPedy was interesting. A Gypsum, we kept one hahaha they're super cool!
