We’re Very familiar with this area , our son lives in Tamworth. Beautiful part of the country. Sitting binge watching your channel today , love your work ❤️
@@lorrainedraper82 thank you Lorraine for your feedback, always a little nervous when we put our life out there but having people enjoy what we do, makes it all worthwhile. Cheers Marg
First time to your channel, absolutely fantastic love the recipes such a change from bikinis and OTT and Gibb river road. Full of great info for everyone. Thanks for the stay tips as we prefer to help the little towns. Weare heading that way shortly so thanks.
@@janetjohnson5521 that’s fantastic Janet, thank you, if fellow campers are keen for more recipes I’m happy to share. Camp cooking for us is all part of the outdoor adventure & keeps us entertained, also well feed. 🤣🔥
@@jasonbarnes5605 thank you for your positive response Jason, truly appreciate it. The meal prep and cooking of old & new recipes is all part of our outdoors/camping fun. Cheers Marg 🔥
Hi guys we are new to it however have been enjoying your channel so much watching lots of videos and yummy camp cooking. You have inspired us to get out there !!
@@KathrynCogillKate thank you, so lovely to hear. With regards to our drone, we’ve had ours for many years now which at the time of purchasing was one of the best (DJI Mavric Pro) but I’m sure there are more improved ones now available. I do wonder how the mini drones go handling windy conditions, especially with what we’ve been experiencing lately. If we were to upgrade, I’d definitely get a separate screen remote, rather than use our mobiles. You may like to have a chat with the guys at Camzilla, located in Roseville NSW Contact Number: 9880 9883, I do think they will be able to advise which drone might suit your needs. Cheers Marg
@@LorettaTaylor-o7b hi Loretta, on the video there was a QR code you can scan with your mobile. Also if you Google Gibbo’s Road Trip Adventures, click on the Payhip website to find where you can download both volumes. You can also find us on instagram where you can scan the QR code there too. Cheers Marg
@ Hey Mick, I have over 50 years experience being a mum and a love for trying new food ideas. I lost my mum relatively young, so I had to learn pretty quickly how to prepare meals with my Dad. I have worked around food over the years, so probably picked up several tips from that but basically for me trying new ideas keeps me inspired to cook.
Hi Lynda, the countryside was so beautifully green and lush, almost like it was enhanced in a photograph. I'm loving the little Kleva and keen to try other recipes in it, it's just so easy and surprising how much it actually can hold. If you've got one, please give the coconut rice a go, it was so good. Cheers Marg
Great video once again. Those little town campsites are so good in NSW and they let you have fires. Must admit travelling the PDR many places have restricted camp fires and we haven't been able to use our camp oven as much as we thought (still have a few lamb shanks in the freezer). Hope the rain stops for you soon. Cheers Sharyn
@@sharyns.shenanigans I think NSW, Vic & Tassie are so lucky to be able to have many camp fire days. When we went to SA in summer, we were a little lost without our evening camp fire and in WA you couldn’t have one until after Easter in April last year. When you return from Qld you should have plenty of opportunities to use your camp oven. We managed to escape the rain last weekend and thankfully temps & weather this week have been awesome. The coming week has a few hot days predicted … so it’s time to shave the legs. 🤪
We missed u guys by about 3 degrees of separation at the Linga Longa Pub we were there on Saturday for lunch, We were camped up at Glenbawn Dam and yes it got quite windy. Liippy and I love the videos keep up the good work
So close Matt - if you ever do see us, please come and say hello. Such a great area with lots of options for camping. I think I asked Liippy on Instagram if you guys had visited the Wash Pools where we camped once with friends which I think would be awesome in summer. We never seem to stay too long in the one place, I think the longest we've stayed somewhere was at Big Brother/North Haven at the beginning of the year.
@@gibbosroadtripadventures Yeah we went out to the wash pools on Saturday b4 the pub and the water was going crazy over the weir, absolutely love the look of it and the grass was sooo green was great to see. We’ll be planning something out there in the New Year after Tamworth music festival in Jan.
Oh that sounds like a fabulous idea - have you been to the music festival before. I'd say the wash pools would be much calmer without all the recent rain and you could just chill. It was pretty mild when we went and very funny watching our 50+ guys having a dip during July last year. Cheers Marg
Thanks Ethan, we'll bring our friends or family next time. We had a ball and you two are gorgeous, thank you for your hospitality and all the very best with the arrival of your bub. Cheers Marg
Hi Guys, Chaffey Dam is a lovely spot, stayed there many times over the years. I was struggling to see where you were camped in relation to the amenities block. Just back down the road about 3 or 4 ks is Woolomin and the general store. They sell just about everything. There is a free camp just down behind the general store too. Just South of Tamworth about 50K on the New England is Wallabadah. Check out the first Fleet Park when you can, it is an interesting place and well worth spending half a day there. Free camp there also. A good tip is never set the van up under or close to a tree. I have seen a large limb take out the cabin on a motor home while parked under a tree for the night, luckily no one was hurt but the motor home was a write off. Glen Riddle Reserve on the north end of Split Rock Dam is a good spot for a tranquil setting too. Plenty of bird life and Wallabies as well as cattle mooching around too. Bingara is a must stay too. There are a couple for you for next time out. Thanks for sharing.
@@brucecliffe6213 Thank YOU Bruce for sharing, what a wealth of camp information. Much appreciated and we’ll keep them in mind for another time, just wish we had endless time. We are conscious of trees and I think we were pretty right with the one we were near. We camped to the left as you entered the campground which wasn’t close to the amenities. We did check out the amenities while we were there and I must say that they were immaculate, I’ve never seen basins as shiny & clean as what was there. Thanks for watching our videos, cheers Marg 😊
@@gibbosroadtripadventures The wife and I had 12 years of caravaning around NSW, VIC and SA before she passed in 2018. We used to get away for a month in April and again October each year so we covered a lot of ground. There is more than enough in Australia for a person to see in one lifetime so don't let the grass grow under your feet. As many a fellow traveller said to me before I retired "It's later than you think". Boy were they right. Cheers and happy travels.
@@brucecliffe6213 Awwww big hug to you Bruce, I'm so sorry for your loss. I absolutely cherish my days with my darling, sharing what we love. I hope some of the places we have and will travel to will make you smile and remember the special times you share with your love. Kindest Regards Marg
A little disappointed that you drove the highway and not the back road from Gundy to Nundle, or back other way. Through Barry station and Hanging Rock. Maybe worth looking at next time.
@@brettgregory8457 steve was thinking of going that way but we had transmission lights coming into Gundy and after a quick chat with our mechanic, decided to stick to the main roads. We still enjoyed the country drive. Not sure if you make RUclips videos but maybe you could show case it some time. It’s funny, the little reference maps I put up aren’t always the way we go. I add it purely for the location to get an idea of where we are in the State. Cheers Marg
Hi My wife and I absolutely love your videos and trips away. Do you have any issues with streaming/using music? I’ve been whacked by facey once already or you don’t bother with it?

Chaffee dam is beautiful good fishing there haven’t been there for years
Hi Steve, would love to go back at some point when it's warmer and get in there with our canoe. How cool it would be to catch a fish. Cheers Marg
I love your Episodes and love your cooking I would buy your Cookbook

What a beautiful spot Chaffey dam. On my list for sure, Can't believe how green the country side is. Love the Kleva very clever!

It was a wallaby, not a kangaroo
@@jamiebradshaw-mo1qs i actually said it was a wallaby but then thought due to the size maybe it was a kangaroo. Thanks for clarifying!
