welcome back Nigel
Love the new video Sue.
I hope you don't mind, I shared this video with our big Contiki family. The more followers and likes the better. You two are made for this. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Geoffo! We really appreciate the support. Look forward to catching up when we get to Europe 🧡
thank you for sharing your day in a life of van life
Love how u just go away on ya own beeing free and solo , thats great we know your missing Nigel and he missing you ❤ and being able to cook on a stove top and oven inside is just blitz
Thanks David! I’ve been a “FIFO wife” for many years now, it’s not really so different in the van to in a house
Another great Vlog, and seeing those black cockatoo was unreal!
They are such beautiful birds. Thanks for watching!
You feel so much better after a hair wash. I chopped all my hair off recently as l couldn't be bothered to find a shower place every 3rd day, so now just use a bucket lol. Use less water and heaps quicker. Sue you have beautiful hair so l would definitely not sacrifice hair for water in your case lol!! Great video showing some of the inconveniences of travel!
Thanks Lee. I’m holding in as long as I can, even though I’m very grey now! I’m so envious of Nigel and keep threatening to shave my head! But I won’t
@@nigelandsueadventures hahahhaha You're a scream Sue, I use to shave my hair to a No: 1 back in my swimming days of old! My sister stepped in this time and said should I call you a she or he lol so I just kept it shorter. hahaahaha Actually chopping it off only got rid of all the excess grey hair and left the dying black, now brownish/greyish colour! Not as bad as I thought it would look, but honestly I am glad I no longer dye the bloody stuff! 😷
Hi Sue and Nigel 👋🏼working my way through your videos and I am enjoying them immensely! What a great couple of Aussies you are 🫠I knew there was something special I liked about Nigel,he loves 🍕 pizza yum my favourite I was looking forward to seeing the one you were going to make,not to worry some other time maybe…Enjoy and state safe out there,best wishes from the Mornington Peninsula Victoria 🌻
Hey thanks so much! Pizzas are pretty popular around here, I’m sure you’ll see them pop up in a video soon enough!
Great vid ..it gives me inspiration for when I start my travels on my own..still a bit nervous but I will get there..gotta have a go 😉💕
Absolutely Deb!! You will be fine. Hopefully we can meet up somewhere and do solo van life together for a while
Love watching your videos thank you so much xx
Thank you so much Margaret, we appreciate you being here. 🧡
Thanks for sharing your travels
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 😄
Sue hi ......great video of an area on our list to explore not just drive through x
Nigel too
Thanks Beverley, yes it was a really cute little town. And I can highly recommend the chips at the general store!!
Thanks for an insight into how Vanlife is different solo. So interesting to see how different day to day activities such as showering are when living in a van as well.
Cheers Nick! Think about that next time you turn in the tap and have a long hot shower!!
@@nigelandsueadventures im an aussie and im thinking about buying a VAN or SUV and living in it as rent is so high, in im QLD and its illegal to live in a car or VAN, i guess i could move to NSW or VIC, or just stay in QLD and move to a different site every night to park, what about BILLS when your not living in a house who do you get your REGO and insurance bills mailed too? when they mail out your new drivers licence you need an address, do you just give your parents or friends address and they keep it for you and you collect it when you visit them next?
Hey Pete, great questions. You can get your rego renewal sent via email. That’s how we have done ours the last couple of years. Qld rego is good as you don’t need an inspection each year. Same with licence renewal. Other mail, we just send it to a parcel locker or parcel collect at the post office, and you can do all this on the Aust Post app.
We see so many people living in their cars now, all around the country. It’s only getting worse. Living in a vehicle full time definitely takes a bit of forward planning and work, but it’s definitely do able. I think it would be hardest if you had a job in the city you had to go to every day.
Hope that helps!
@@nigelandsueadventures when you get your drivers licence renewal dont they mail it out to you? or can you go in person and have it made out in person?
Yea I got mine mailed to the post office. But I guess if you were in your home state you could go in and pick it up.
What a great video while staying on your own explaining all the day to day stuff. Don’t you get nervous on your own Sue? Great to see Nigel back.
Just love watching you two back together 👍
We’re hoping to head off soon in the next couple of months. Hope we see you on the road. 😀
I don’t really stealth camp when I’m on my own, and I’m very cautious about where I stay and how I park. I don’t post on social media about a place until I’ve left.
Yes it’s great to have Nigel back, though as I type this he will be heading off again in less than two weeks!
Exciting that you are hitting the road! Where will you be leaving from?
@@nigelandsueadventures
I’m glad that you stay safe and are very cautious. Good on you!! I think I would be too nervous. 😀
You must miss Nigel when he’s gone!
My hubby and I are leaving Woodgate Beach hopefully soon, we’ve sold our house here and bought a Fiat Ducato Avida LWB factory fitted out. Shower/toilet a must!
Just need to sort out some stuff first before we leave.
We just love watching your videos and makes us very excited to get going.
Safe travels and we hope to see you on the road ! Di and Troy ❣️
Just watched this one again. Great vid. Nice peaceful location 😃👍
Glad you enjoyed it! And welcome back
Great vlog !!! Loved this one a lot… except I was waiting to see the veggies come out of the oven 😂… xx Annalise
Sometimes I forget to film the end of the meal! Or I film everything except when it’s on the plate and I’m so hungry I eat it all before I remember.
Glad I found your vids
We are glad you did too! Hope you enjoy watching.
When riding the Munda Biddi, I once camped in Jarradale in the pissing rain under some bloke’s clothesline right near the pub. Not sure how that happened!!
Haha, we would love to ride the Munda Biddi… one day.
I love 💕 solo van 🚐 life there's just me my cat 😻 Kelly and our van 🚐
It’s so freeing isn’t it? Are you doing a Vanlife in Australia?
Thank you Sue for showing me all the chores you have to do ,just to have a shower& make sure the tanks are full & toilet is empty & ready to go for another few days. Lovely to see Nigel back home & wish you happy travels, Elaine from Brisbane.
Thanks Elaine! Those little things we take for granted when living in a house! It’s good to have him back and we are enjoying life on the road again.
great vid....
Thanks so much for checking out our channel!
Its a water pipe of course.
Another great video. I had already watched it in the Patreon members area but I watched it again here. Got to keep those views up. 😂 We are gearing up to move back into our MotorHome. We were going to do it this time last year but it didn’t work out. Definitely happening this year although I’m not sure yet if I’ll be travelling to where my husband is working or staying out for a little bit. Will have to see. 🤗💖
Thank you so much Lynne. He’s going to be up north somewhere right? I wish we were up north, it’s getting very cold down here now
@@nigelandsueadventures haha yes. One of the main reasons of why I love Qld in winter. At this point I think he will be in Mackay for nearly 3 months starting the middle of July. Then we might be heading to Victoria the end of September. Then I have to be in Tamworth for the Country Music festival in January, to unveil some bust statues of my parents. So, he will be looking for a contract starting around that time. Then, depending we may be heading to WA or back to Qld. All depends. 😊
@@LynneCarey might see you in Victoria then! Are you parents famous? Did I ever tell you I went to school with a Lynne Carey?
