First went to The Tip with my parents in 1978. We drove across the Jardine River and camped at the Tip where the carpark is now. No sign to mark the top then so we stood on every rocky outcrop to make sure :)
I think you are amazing because you have travelled way out of your comfort zone and pushed through. You have done it in a very sensible manner and listened to experienced advice but it still takes courage. Also, it may be that some people are very casual about driving to the tip of far North Queensland but I remember watching the video of your first day on the road four years ago, where Katie was in a state of fear and trembling and Paul kept repeating how green you both were about travelling with a car and caravan. Look how far you have come. I have found your videos to be quite inspiring. Well done!
I really like the idea of the Tagalong . There is safety in numbers i reckon, plus travelling with friends is a bonus. Well done for giving it a go. Alan & Elaine.
Good Morning 😊 wow , that's a great give away👌🏽Thanks for sharing the ferry drive up . That's a CROWD 😮 at the Top 😅 Beautiful Picture 😍 lovely coast line , sad part of history 😢 Lucky bloke to catch what other fishermen will love to have ❤ Happy birthday🎂Mate 👏🏼👏🏼 Awesome Island 🏝 Sorry guys , you had bad roads 😢 Thanks Legends for an epic episode and adventure 💯👌🏽👍🏼👏🏼 Greetings and cheers 🍻 From South Africa 🇿🇦
@@TheFeelGoodFamily apologies some sunday i dont have time to watch your videos , but i always save it to view later 👏🏼 Always watching , liking and commenting on your channel 💯
We did he new canopy the Cape in 2017 but left our van at Mt Carbine and took a tent . We are embarking on another lap early next year (from Perth) and thinking we will do the Cape again but this time take our caravan . Loved your trip and wonderful to hear of the success of taking your caravan . By the way , others might need a new Ute for winning the canopy …….we have the Ute ready for the new canopy . Thanks again for a wonderful video .
@@TheFeelGoodFamily Sorry for the mixed worded start to the comment I put ……..computers can play tricks ………. But thanks for the kind words and hopefully we do make it again to the Tip and again thanks for such invaluable videos .
It’s a real privilege to do this ‘job’ 🤩 I am madly editing next weeks episode and the footage is beautiful and the locations are fantastic! See you on Sunday P&K&J
😂I had to laugh when u got to the top and saw all those people ,when we did the cape a couple of times once in the morning not early had it to ourselves next time about midday shared with another couple mind you that was about 30years ago .great effort guys jasper will remember this forever ours do love the videos 😎
Congratulations! What a great trip. We've been watching you for years and love your trips, tips and information you guys share along the way. Thank you. We now have our own van and are enjoying our travels. Make to most of every day. Love it!
What an incredible episode Katie, Paul and Jasperoo! Congrats on reaching the tip of Aus! Loved it all. Thursday Island looks fascinating to visit - would love to head over there - not sure I could do the corrugations again for a while to get there, but there is always a plane I guess! Thanks wonderful Feel Good's!
Awesome vid guys 🎉 we are at Loyalty Beach atm with our bushtracker van. No problems at all. Visited the tip today.....AMAZING. I recommended your channel to a young family last week. Enjoy your travels, stay safe and who knows one day us 79 series family might meet in the flesh 😊
We had same issue, dont take the van glad we did. We have a Jayco Outback with JTech suspension had no issue other than 1 jam jar lost its lid and Anderson plug came out from vehicle. We took the van all the way to Punsand Bay. As you said you need good ground clearence for the ferry. Note the Gibb River Road is harder.Great videos and content, keep them rolling.
Just do your pre prep, you wont have any issues with your van and setup, take spare fuel. Also cant remember if you have a stone stomper, its a must. We did it with Rock tamers and got some stone chip damage. You will enjoy the GRR, looking forward to your videos.@@TheFeelGoodFamily
Ok great advice thank you and we are headed to South Australia next so will look into when we are there… S Stomper may even be a SA company..? I’ll check them out 👍🍻
If you watch the Cape York series from the beginning you’ll pick up plenty of advice on this ALSO our latest video has tyre management/pressures segment so that would be worth a watch also 👍🕺🇦🇺🍻💙
@@TheFeelGoodFamily Desmond here I totally agree with you Katie I will be fine the AAT kings will look after me you know what I mean it's there job. And I will bond with the whole team including the group I am with it's a 2 week holiday enjoy relax and take in the beauty I am excited counting the days down
Who said it couldn't be done. We did it in July along with a lot of others in all sorts of vans including jaycos. Drive to conditions etc. No problems.
Haha! So true we saw loads of large vans along the trek… some fairer better than others but so doable and should be everyone’s bucket list! Loved every minute 🙌💙🕺
The souvenir shops shirts can be pretty expensive but worth finding one of you love it’s design! Kalua banana split sounds like a desert with a creamy alcohol liqueur on top 😊
Desmond here Katie I am so excited one more payment to go then 4 months to go I have a lady caming around a few days before I leave she is going to advise me what to take and iron my clothes she is a lovely lady japanese she offer her services she owns a business can you believe it Katie it's getting closer
Sorry, but I need to ask, why didn’t you take Jasper and your wife in your car to the old telegraph track, it’s so sad they didn’t get that experience…. Love to understand why…
No worries and all good to ask these questions. We rolled our 79 late last year. This accident has unfortunately caused some post accident anxiety in Jasper as i rolled the vehicle on his and Katie’s side causing some very heighten emotions at the time. We have fortunately been able to find an amazing (child psychologist) professional that has been helping us work through this with Jasper. So, in short where possible I try my best to take the opportunity to minimise these activities that cause stress to our little Jasper and over time we will grow to do more and make inroads and move forward - we did still do parts of the OTT together as a family and loved it 🙏💙
You're romancing yourself deluxe. We were there earlier this year and you could barely get a park due to the vans that were there. Not sure who 'everyone' is ... but very doable and not difficult if you are sensible and set up correctly. Won't bother watching this one.
Desmond I do not know if have seen the news in Baltimore USA there is a state of emergency the container hit the bridge and the whole bridge crash into the icey waters cars people workers a major search is going on dozens of divers in the water searching for people what's happening in the animal world elephanrt attacking a jeep in a national park in Africa and in Australia a man got biten by a brown snake and a man got it escorted off a national park as he got to close to a bison I went to the south island a few years ago to see the sea lion on the beach the tour guide advise people not to get to close to the sea lion some people did not listen what's going on Katie why do people want to get close to these wild animals I was on an old ketch 100 feet long we were in the Pacific ocean a few miles away from great barrier island new Zealand a whale got close to our boat a bit to close the captain made the decision to turn around as new Zealand would have to use the air force is the world going mad people getting closer do you know the answer Katie can we stop these mad people getting close to these wild animals is it education or more signs do you know the answer Katie Katie John and jasper you guys have a wonderful day where I am going there is lots of crocodile signs and snake signs is that correct everyone has told. Me to be croc wise and snake wise and the heat which I willl
Yes it’s very good to be croc and snake wise while visiting Australia but there are plenty of signs and you can clearly see where to and where not to go! You will be absolutely fine and safe here in Australia 👍 yes, people do get too close to wildlife all the time - I think better education is the real answer 👍 take care Desmond
Desmond here you guys get on so we'll do you Katie argue with John much does he give you flowers or chocolates do you two get a chance to go to dinner without jasper who does the the cleaning duties who. Empty the rubbish who does the cooking because I always see you Katie making meals do you guys get to put your feet up or is 8 hours a day I suppose jasper takes up a lot of your time

So true and so good to have a fearless leader to follow 😅🇦🇺🕺💙
He looked very calm and i'm sure he was quite knowledgeable . I'm sure you learnt heaps from him.@@TheFeelGoodFamily
So good and this weeks episode that I’m editing now has Tony doing beach recovery and other really useful tips on tyres 👍👍🇦🇺🍻
Jasper is getting the best education about the world around him. Thanks for another great episode.
Thank you so good!! 🇦🇺🕺💙🍻
Enjoy have lots of Fun and Stay Safe All Ways All

The yeti cup on kitchen bench was 😮😂
So crazy and the tea was still hot!! Hahaha 😅🍻🇦🇺🙏
@@TheFeelGoodFamily bargain bargain 🤣. No cleaning or damage and a warm cup of tea 🤣
What an adventure!
So good!! We would love to spend a month next time x
Another great episode. It looks so beautiful up there, another place added to the bucket list. I am somewhat jealous of Jasper’s classroom.
Definitely on the list! Yes, he’s got the best ‘“living classroom’ going…. he seems to retain a lot of it as well 🇦🇺💙🕺🏕️
What an amazing journey you are all on. Surely it is time to put a bridge over the Jardine River.
I think there was $10million committed at one point from a previous government 🙃

A bit deflating after all that. Know what you mean about shopping. @ 👍😂

Great episode guys. Do you have drum or disc brakes in your Zone please?
We have disc 👍 thank you 💙
Lovely Ep guys, but hate to tell you there is dozens of big vans go up each year,
Hahaha! So true and plenty up there when we went too - so doable and everyone needs to add to their bucket list!! 🇦🇺🕺💙🍻
Just wanting advice on driving on the corrugations, what do you think is the best speed to be doing and do you let down your tyres.
If you watch the Cape York series from the beginning you’ll pick up plenty of advice on this ALSO our latest video has tyre management/pressures segment so that would be worth a watch also 👍🕺🇦🇺🍻💙
Desmond here the container ship hit the baltmore bridge lots of people injure and die
Hi Desmond, this is a real tragedy for the families involved 😢 I think we all just need to send them out love and prayers 🙏

Shame the vans are so incredibly expensive.
Desmond here Katie and John can you get those souvenirs shirts in most shops how much are they for adults what is a kaula banana split

Did you get into trouble for that bottom shot ?
Hahaha! I’m sure once katie watched the ep tonight the trouble is coming my way 😬🤣🙏🍻
Was the tea still hot? 😅
