Good vid, guys. There def ARE a few laws for caravanning - electric brakes and extended mirrors on the car, making sure you have the correct weights - overall and for each axle separately. Also be aware that diff states have diff speeds for towing e.g. WA general state limit is 110 but towing is restricted to 100... We love Caravan Overnight Farmstay, too.
Yeah, it's always dependent on the person and how they travel, $60K a year is good. Friends of ours right now are trading 2 hours work a day on a farm in exchange for accommodation. They are also receiving produce e.g. meat and eggs. As a family of 4 it's costing them $350 a week to live. So it would be
Worth the cash with all the experience and memories. In Melbourne i live in a unit and my neighbour is charging $340 a week in a 2 bedroom unit weekly. Most a paying 500 to 600 weekly mortgage. Totally worth it. Im hopeful i can do a year when im older. From then on i keep watching and learning all the places. Use could lay low eat cheapy and save.
You can certainly live in a van for cheap somewhere in Aus. My friends are currently spending $350 a week as a family of 4. With their accommodation and much of their food covered as they live and work on a farm. But that's living cheaply in a van, not travelling aus. Moving frequently costs money 💰 🤑
WeatherWatchTV on YT is your best friend. Australia updates every Thursday. I'm currently creeping up the East coast of QLD to Mackay which is looking very windy next week which is my next destination. Rocky is doing well at the moment - been beach driving and fishing for the last two weeks.
what is the location app that you use and update please? And what a great video for us to listen and educate ourselves before we take on such an adventure as you guys have
@bernicemaschgan4656 hiya, I'm not sure what you mean by location app. But maybe "wikki camps" we find points of interests and camps and from there you can click directions and it opens in Google maps. We used to have off-line maps with hema but we almost never needed it and found the unit was very average. We now just use Google maps and wikki camps for locations.
Hi Robert. We simply input every expense into a excel spreadsheet and track by categories e.g. fuel, food, accommodation etc. And do up a new one for each month. So sorry but yeah we do it manually.
StarLink Roam has just gone up to $195 pm for us land lubbers - the excuse provided is that we now get marine off-shore and other crap that I don' need. Thanks Elon, not.
@@markunderwood9823Yes, but you can't just think "I'll have reception tomorrow so I'll cancel today." The cancellation won't come into effect until the end of that billing period.

Epic intro so cool, do more xoxo

I agree South Australia is very underrated
Great episode again Guys! I love using Chat GPT but have never thought to use it for an episode. Love it!!
The Thirsty Nomad Water filters are great. has one for Bore water and normal water...
Great vid fam ❤ we bring it in under 60K and do loads of paid activities but we use way less fuel travelling slower and stopping to work

@@SvedosTrippin yeah agree and ours is more like 40k but had 2 x 20k+ blowouts on stupid vehicles blowing up motors 😆🤦♀️🤦♀️
@thecookievanaustralia yup, that's what I said on the vid. There is a disaster every year...
@@SvedosTrippin 100% roadlife definitely has its challenges, love seeing your faces xx

70 a week what a ripper. Pizza in Melbourne cost $50 to feed 2 adults and 2 kids.
E-knee-abba 👍

Hi mate. Sadly we won't have any time available in Perth. We are leaving WA very soon.

Thanks for letting us know about this site, we liven in Geraldton years back and never heard about this. Keep up the great content, love it.
What app do you use to track your $$$?!

Can Starlink be subscribed on a monthly basis (for the 2 or 3 months we travel each year) ... or is it a yearly subscription?
@@markunderwood9823 Yes, monthly is a benefit. Turn off the sub for 30 days min, then start it up again for min 30 days. It's well worth it.
Yeah, he has us over a barel but. The service is too good to cancel, but yeah not impressed either 😕
