Love your videos. I've been through that area so many times and seen none of the beautiful scenery you search out and show in all of your videos. Thank you.
The sunset was stunning. Food looked great! You keep your place tidy. My son lives in Newy. They took the kids to Somersby Waterfalls last weekend. Wasnt anyone around. He takes his kids to caves beach regularly. The Shark Hole was amazing 😊 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks mate, hope you're enjoying vanlife too. My wife left me a few weeks after we moved into the van full-time, but no looking back for me. I'm loving it 😊
I subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago - absolutely loving the videos 😆 Really enjoyed the whales - they were fantastic! Also love the lookouts, the rock formations, and the tidal pools. Keep going with posting to RUclips, you’re an inspiration 😎🐕🇦🇺👍
Thank you for another awesome vid full of stunning views , those beaches are so beautiful , but I could have watched those whales for hours , they where just majestic
Ive been in my van coming up to 3.5 years and do 50/50 Sydney/Travel and a fair share of street parking in industrial areas and never experience the noise/burnouts you have (haha) ... maybe all those windows in your van ;) I do have sound deadening and insulation and less windows so it might help but I sleep so well in the van. Loved seeing the whale footage :)
New subscriber.. I like your channel. It's so relaxing to watch. Seeing how you climbed out of that ladder hole would have been great content though. Anyway glad I found your channel.
Thanks for coming along! Only problem with filming me climb the ladder is that I would have had to done it twice to get the camera back 😂 I need to tie it to some string and hoist up to the top...
Great video! You’re in my local area. I hadn’t heard of the shark hole before though, looks like a beautiful spot. I wouldn’t have been brave enough to do that ladder lol. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure!
Great video. That Shark Hole is amazing; and love the fact the ladder doesn't go all the way to the bottom, must have measured it when it was full of water 🤣.
@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces It looked big on the footage so it must have been huge. I will definitely have to visit that place. I will need to compile a list of places based on your videos. I would have thought it would be harder to get back on the ladder given it is 5ft off the ground? 🤣
Wow , that shark hole was incredible, humongous. Your Braver than me climbing down that ladder. Do you ever fish at all? Some places you have been, I always think , that would be a great place to throw a line in. I find fishing very therapeutic 😁
It was certainly worth climbing down, but very hairy!😂 I'm too impatient for fishing. You're right though, most places I go there's also people fishing.
@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces Another place I'd recommend for you, is the Awaba MTB Park. If you liked the Ourimbah MTB trails, you'll love this one. It's on Mount Faulk Rd. Just at the start of the Watagan NP. Easily accessible by your van.
You told me about a few campsites near there too. I was actually on my way there last week but the the heavy rain was forecast so I went to Swansea instead. I'll definitely be heading there soon.
@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces And if you do end up going to Awaba MTB Park, a good spot for lunch is Heaton Lookout. Fantastic views of the Pacific Ocean, and Lake Macquarie.
Cool! I did notice there were a few lookouts there. While I was in Swansea, I could see the fog spilling out from the Watagans through a pass in the hills. Keen to get some pictures of that! Might actually head up there tomorrow 😂
It's a VoltaX LiFePo4 300Ah. Definitely on the cheaper end so the capacity could be questionable, but when I looked at my data, it was about 5 days with hardly any charging, mainly because I hadn't driven much and it was very cloudy. Makes sense really.
Love your videos. I've been through that area so many times and seen none of the beautiful scenery you search out and show in all of your videos. Thank you.
Thanks. Most the best places are a little harder to get to 😁
What a great sunset. We need to appreciate more what days give instead of taking it for granted.
It's nice when you have no other pressures in your life and can just sit back and enjoy things 😁
The sunset was stunning. Food looked great! You keep your place tidy. My son lives in Newy. They took the kids to Somersby Waterfalls last weekend. Wasnt anyone around. He takes his kids to caves beach regularly. The Shark Hole was amazing 😊 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Allison. It's a nice area up there. I was actually planning to move there a few years back, but it didn't eventuate.
Thanks for the video, it was fun to see you enjoy all the area that I lived at . I moved into my van in May this year after my wife left me .
Thanks mate, hope you're enjoying vanlife too. My wife left me a few weeks after we moved into the van full-time, but no looking back for me. I'm loving it 😊
@MakingStuffGoingPlaces I was wondering what happened to her , thanks for sharing

Thank you very much!😊 It's great to have you following along.
Great video. Love the footage of the whales, magnificent creatures. Shark hole, wow! The drop from the ladder though!
Thanks Pauline. I was so happy to see the whale breaching. 😁
It’s a beautiful coast line, whales were amazing 🐋
Certainly a beautiful area and the whales were a bonus. Thanks for watching 😊
I'm loving the rocks thanks for the video
Thanks, Katy 😊

Thank you! Yes, the whales were amazing. I was so lucky to see that one breaching. 😁

Thanks mate. I'm a very light sleeper, which is not ideal for street camping 😂😂
That ladder looked sketchy as, great content as always, thank you.
Thanks mate 😊
And the ladder was way more dodgy in person 😂
Great video Jason. Very inspiring to us who want to embark on the van life. You cover a lot of ground in a day. Cheers, Sean.
Thanks Sean. I try to cram in as much as possible to each day, but the result is days where I also do absolutely nothing 😂

Oh ok fair enough. Watching from Qld. NSW is so beautiful. But yes very enjoyable viewing 👍 Stay safe 😊
Enjoying watching! Thanks for sharing. Definitely plan on checking out shark hole!
Thanks for following along 😊
Makes sure you climb down the shark hole. Be careful though....it's dodgy! 😂
Great video! You’re in my local area. I hadn’t heard of the shark hole before though, looks like a beautiful spot. I wouldn’t have been brave enough to do that ladder lol. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure!
Thanks Sally. Yeah, the ladder was pretty dodgy!😂
Thanks for another great video Mr Blue .
😂 thanks, Lisa. Wearing a blue T-shirt as well, I only just realised 😁
@MakingStuffGoingPlaces Blue van, blue on glasses and blue clothing. I'm no Sherlock but you seem to be drawn to it. It's a beautiful colour .
@@Lisa-qe8hw Mr. Blue... I like that. 😁
Great video. That Shark Hole is amazing; and love the fact the ladder doesn't go all the way to the bottom, must have measured it when it was full of water 🤣.
Thanks mate. What surprised me was how big it was once you get down there.
You should have seen me getting off the ladder ..now that was funny 😂

You sure make the most of your days. Good onya. 👍 Did you manage to go to Split Rock?
No, I missed that one. It was so muddy around there, I didn't go right down to the edge. Job for next time 😀

Thanks for posting another great trip Jason. I was wondering what type of battery you have in the van
It's a VoltaX LiFePo4 300Ah. Definitely on the cheaper end so the capacity could be questionable, but when I looked at my data, it was about 5 days with hardly any charging, mainly because I hadn't driven much and it was very cloudy. Makes sense really.
@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces that's pretty impressive, given the lack of charging.
Thanks for the video, do you plan to travel away from Sydney/central coast/Newcastle area??
I certainly do, but also need to look after my mother who lives in Sydney...so a little hard to get away at times...
hi the blue and brown and black jumper , where did you get it ? never seen one like it
Bought it about 6 years ago in China...that shop doesn't have them anymore 😂
Hi, what type of vehicle do you use
Hi Chris, it's a 2023 Ford Transit high roof. RWD auto 😁
Great video. Love the footage of the whales, magnificent creatures. Shark hole, wow! The drop from the ladder though!
Thanks Pauline. So happy I finally got there. I've had it on my list for ages.
