- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Welcome back everyone,
In this episode we explore Cairns while we wait for our car to get repaired from the breakdown in our last video...... We find waterholes, waterfalls and do the Skyrail to the rainforest village of Kuranda!
We then head down the coast to Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays and show you some great places to check out and stay a while!! It's an Epic coastline and we reckon you'll love a few of these hidden gems.
Enjoy & we'd love to hear your feedback!!
Cheers - Justin & Bec

Our most watched Episode - z • BEACH CAMPS ON THE NIN...
It all started when…
In December 2015 we packed up and hit the road for what we thought would be a 12 month Lap of Oz. Fast forward 4 years and we decided to create a video series of our travels to show you all what it’s like to live life on the road!!
You’re creating a great childhood for your little ones. No one is on a phone, iPad, etc. love it.
Love it, thankyou
You and your family is great ! Your kids will thank you so much one day Awesome
Aidan van Weert cheers man
Palm Cove caravan park north of Cairns is probably half the price per night compared to ‘Coconut’ but not as much fun for the youngsters. Great fishing off of the jetty and heaps of restaurants all in walking distance. Love the show guys!
The nicest thing about your videos is your very cool relationship with each other and the kids. So much respect, Queensland style. Loved seeing North Qld on the vids cos it's my stamping ground. Bogan AND cool.
Fiona cheers mate 🤙
Totally agree
Great to see you back! Have to say your channel is the only one I never hit the pause button while watching ✌🏼️how awesome is this wide brown land and again thanks for your content 👍🏻🇦🇺❤️👏🏻✨
Cherie Lee stoked you’re enjoying them mate✌️
And the winner of the "Parents of the year" award goes to....... Justin and Bec
Sean Patrick 😂😂😂
"Here on the beach by ourselves, it's all good cuz the Van's just overrrr..... there" haha love it
We often sit back and watch some older episodes…come across nibble pies… ahh what? It’s Party pies. Never heard of nibble pies until just now!
I agree mate😂😂 Victorian’s hey
From a wet and extremely wind swept UK, I would just like to say that you guys really do enjoy rubbing it in! Many thanks.
Etty Bay in the enclosure on a blood red moon.....amazing! Love this place 😍
You wanna be really, really careful at the Boulders and Josephine falls. Go uphill at both and the highest point behind them is Bellenden Kerr. This mountain has a weather station on top. It's record for rainfall in one 12 month period since it was installed in the 1950s? 12.4 meters. So you can be down at the falls just chilling, unaware that 4km away up on top of the hill 100cm of rain has just fallen in the last 2 hours. When that rainfall flows down hill, Josephine falls can go from a nice little swimming hole to a raging torent in about 10 minutes. If you're not paying attention and the water starts to rise, you could become one of the dozens of people each year who get stranded on the far side of the creek who have to be airlifted out. People have died there. Not as many who die at the boulders, but still, be really careful if you're taking kids in there. If the water starts to rise or starts to get murky, get out, get up the rocks and back on the paths. Tell anyone else who is there they need to move because a flash flood is coming.
As for the Boulders? There's a really lovely swimming hole about 30m from the carpark. Swim there. We've lost clearance divers, US navy seals, lifesavers, and more tourists than you can poke a stick at. What did they do wrong? Well they walked down the walking track to the lookout overlooking the devil's pool. Then they decided they wanted to climb over the fence and jump into the pool at the bottom of the falls. Some time between 4 and 30 days later, their body is found. Depends on what time of year it is as to how long it takes to recover them. This is my back yard. Treat her with respect or you'll be burying someone you love quicker than you can spit.
Really look forward to your future video's. What a wonderful couple & family! You gotta love Australia-what an amazing country & people.
frank pinion thankyou
Totally agree beer has to be drunk from a glass 👍
@MrBuckaroonie ...on trips I always take my favourite beer glass, I personally think the glass is better for the senses...but yes agree if I don't have a glass straight out of a can or stubbie will do 👍
your girl child is the cutest ever, definitely the best circumnavigating Oz, never fails to make me smile..
Thanks mate
This is definitely up there for one of your best , keeping it real , awesome on how you guys take the Mickey out of each other, my wife and I have been married 10 year's, also love to travel, November last year hired a large motorhome and traveled around South island Newzealand , and now we are off to Thailand in 2 weeks, Australia is a Beautiful place and after Thailand thanks to you Guys my wife wants to see more of Australia, So we will be doing some research on 4x4's and Caravans.
Brandon Spain cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it✌️
What a beautiful family going on Beautiful adventures making life memories for the kids. Love you you guys and your videos.
Happy Adventures.
How spoilt ,and probably worldly are your kids. They are loving the lifestyle.Will be interesting when it has to stop. Nice work guys. Making me jealous
Almost 10 years on and my grown up kids still go on about Murray Falls. Love it. Love the memories you guys bring. Also love that you mention when you are there. October when we went. My youngest wore out the bum of his shorts on the water slide.
Great video! Greetings from Ohio U.S.A.
Cheers mate!!!
Cheers man
Another epic video, well done and thanks guys! We stayed in Port Douglas last July and did the sky rail etc, great day!
Been watching you guys from the start. Love it. Love the kids. You created living the dream life.
We've lived in Cairns for 35 years, and never been to Etty Bay. Have to wait now till after the wet season. Another ripper episode guys.
Just back from Etty Bay, a perfect weekend hanging out with Buster the cassowary.
great video and reminds me of our trips along the far north Queensland coast over the past 2 years.. some awesome free camps, National Parks and Caravan parks.. Etty Bay was a favourite spot for us too... no Barramundi but plenty of other fish from the rocks there..
Nice to see you guys visit North Qld, i grew up in cardwell and used to swim at Murray falls but Cardwell actually has some of the best swimming holes in the North!
You guys are brilliant! G’Day from an Aussie living in Vancouver Canada...most of my fam is still in OZ...Adelaide, SA...you give me a taste of my motherland that I love❤️🇦🇺❤️🇨🇦
That was a ripper episode guys!!!! Great to see your BT50 back on the road and tracking for 2020. Look forward to your future travels:D
Vik Cebergs #greatsouthernoverland cheers mate💪💪
Lived in Victoria all my life.. Sorry but it's always been a party pie .....,,,,,,,👍🤪
DRAGAN KRSMANOVIC 😂😂yeah bud, thanks for backing me up✌️
DRAGAN KRSMANOVIC same!
Never ever EVER heard it called a nibble pie Bec.... Party pie everyday of the week.
I worked in an indoor play centre too in Victoria.
Nibble pie sounds kinky. 😂
KIRALY W 😂😂😂
Yep party pie
Yep agree... never heard of a nibble pie in my life! Party Pies definately! ... and I'm Victorian so you can't use that excuse! haha
@@jenniferthorne6464 Nibble pies are a western way of speaking. WHEN it comes to meat pies in south-west Victoria, it's a party on one side of the Stony Rises and nibble-by-nibble approach on the other. The humble party pie is referred to most in the region as a nibble pie, although the origins of the phrase are unclear.Jan 30, 2019
John Riley south west needs a good slap.
It’s party pie.
End of story.
Great video guys! I was born and grew up in Innisfail and you guys did the area and FNQ region justice!
What a way to make sure you don't forget your wedding anniversary just have it the day before your birthday.
russell eaton that’s it🍺🍺
You guys are such lovely folk and have a truly beautiful family.
Greg Hall thankyou
Thanks guys. I’m a Cairns local but still trying to get to all the spots you featured. Now you’ve inspired me to book in at Russell River NP, we got campsite 3 as well. Look out Easter 2020.
Jessica Sullivan awesome spot, enjoy✌️
Why Tourism Australia isn't promoting you guys is beyond me. Or a TV network picking up your content. Maybe because people are not watching TV anymore. I was there late last year visiting my son and new grandson. Thanks for the memories .Love you guys.
Scott cheers mate!! We would love Tourism Australia to get on board.
100% agree ,, i challange anyone to watch one or two episodes and not want to buy a 4by caravan and hit the road around this spectacular hone of ours
Wow...what a great video. We lived and explored North QLD for 2 years or so and explored 20 waterfalls...gosh there is a couple that I missed. Hoping to get back to Carins end of next year, but I need to leave north-west of Western Australia first. :-)
We do live in a beautiful country...thanks for sharing your life to the public.
I'm in love with these kids 🥰😍❣️
Did exactly the same trip folks it's was a lifetime memory But not cheap $8000 for 5 days hammo $250 per night was it worth it bloody oath! Marty Qld
Hi guys. I really love watching your adventures. A lot of the places you go I have been and many I have never seen. I get to see this beautiful country through your travels. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and parts of you life with us. I always look forward to new episodes and watch old ones over again because they are so enjoyable.
Cheers
Mike
Mike Winkworth cheers man, glad your enjoying them
Mike plenty of time son I was 70 grabbed a swag and my old Red dog Murphy in 30 yr old ute Qld NT WA coast Perth thro the inland of WA goldfields etc etc Vic SA NSW amazing place but the people you meet fantastic so Mike when you do it all I can say is thank god I did it cheers n beers Marty Australia
I grew up in vic as a child then moved to Queensland. It's always been a party pie.
Great video guys. I've never heard of some of those camp sites. You've given me good reason to go north this year and visit them in the "quiet" months. Keep up the great work.
Certainly beautiful up that way. Great video, thanks.........
I havta remember that one, If ya want a good BBQ , Don't let Mum cook , very funny. It certainly looked lovely up there .Safe Travels
Roger Mace 😂😂😂cheers mate
That was absolute gold, LOVED it... looking forward to what's coming for 2020... yeww
Chris Rippon cheers mate
I was born in Vic and lived in Perth and now Brisbane and have NEVER heard it called a Nibble Pie, always Party Pie. 😂
well done mate! thanks for not making a "the world is burning" drama out of the cane fields, the yanks here are wowser's enough with out that. LOL
Nothung, absolutely nothing like the Great Outdoors . Jealous much 😀💕👍👍👍👍👍
Fantastic. Brings back some memories from a trip past. It does not seem too much different from 1986 👍😊 except the beer was cheaper and less fencing. Also, the party pies seemed bigger 😂
Greg Wallace 😂😂😂
Fantastic as usual, brought back some memories
We were up there last August
Thanks
Loved it
u guys so rock it with ur kids awsome job guys
"Where are we? I always forget". That's the way to live :)
Jafar Calley 😂😂😂
Great vid. I live in Mission Beach, you've been to all my favourite haunts! Lucky kids 💚💚💚
Private cheers
They’re party pies. I’ve never heard them called anything else before 😂 (I live in Vic)
Agreed.
Finally had 5 mins to myself to watch this episode. Although I've been to most of those places a number of years ago, it's great following your epic journey and what a beautiful Country we live in - North, East, South and West....we're pretty lucky (the last few months have been difficult and it's great to see the global support we've received). I don't think there's any reason to think that you don't talk enough during the episodes Bec, you guys share the chatter well to bring us your stories which is great. Lastly, nibble pie?? never heard party pies called that - Bec, are you one of these Victorians that swam from Tassie? haha PS love the long episodes!
Love to see you do Victoria guys ... snow in the high country was great but we ha e some specky beaches too
Maybe one day!
Always excited to see another video.....thank you for keeping me attached to my home state!!
Thank you once again for a great tour around North Queensland, cant wait to get up there next year.
Stephen Wade cheers✌️
bec is such a babe 🥰
She says thankyou!!

Great vid guys, perfect to watch on a sunday night [with a beer]. We are counting down our days before we are off for the rest of the year and your video's show us what we can look forward to...can't wait. Anyway you have done it again with some great content and scenery, we loved it.
Take care guys and hope you had a perfect birthday Justin

Gary Ezard cheers mate
Called in to Ettey Bay a couple of times,
camp ground chockers and a howling sow easterly blowing straight in.
November looks the month to go.
Gary I think we got very lucky
Josephine falls and Babinda George are both beautiful and dangerous. I've seen them both become rapids in minutes. Many tourists and locals drown there every year. Beautiful places to swim. Ross n lock now has salt water crocodiles so be aware.
Hello Justin, Bec and Kids, My Husband and I just love your video's. We have done some travelling around Oz in a off road camper trailer, but have just purchased a brand new caravan and on your recommendation we have brought the Enerdrive system. We thank you for posting the information about this system as we really understand what it can do. (I know it is expensive $$$$$) but I'm sure we will get our monies worth. We get our Supreme Caravan in late October 2020 and hopefully we might see you on the road and have a beer/wine/vodka together. Cheers Fay and Dale
Great vid as always guys
Nice pour on the beer to Justin
Look forward to what 2020 brings
Cheers mate
This is one of the best Aussie travel vids I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing!
“He’s a bogan & needed new clothes”
Bec you absolutely cracked me up with that one. 🤣
KIRALY W he is such a bogan !!! 😂😂😂
Trip In A Van - RoadTrip Australia Series mate I’m married to one too. He either wears work gear or footy gear & he’s 47 & coaches footy in his spare time... ya got 10 more years to go mate.
I feel for ya though. 😂
KIRALY W 😂😂😂
Doctor MENGELE new long block
Party pie Bec! Even in cairns haha
haha
It's always been a favourite part of the coastline of mine when I lived up they way for so long,...except for the fact that you can rarely enter the bloody water - it's seasonal I know but I couldn't trust it. Unless you're wearing a full lycra suit or swim in the exclosures. Such drag for such beautiful part of the country. The diving off shore is fantastic of course with the GBR and all the shipwrecks! However, Give me the south coast and let me loose. Are you guys going to do the region around Maroochydore, etc. It is really nice too. Look out for Sarina, Tin Can Bay, Rainbow beach, etc. on your way down.
I’m a Victorian and have never in my life heard a party pie be called a nibble pie I have lived in multiple states too
Bec, mate. It's a party pie. Always was. Always will be. Haha.
Another awesome episode! Gotta love FNQ & how amazing is it to witness a cane burn; we got to see one in Mossman a good few years back (we're southerners) so was blown away & that caramelised smell in the air was enough to bring on some serious sugar cravings! LOL!
Keep living the dream!
happy anniversary guys and happy birthday j-man ...love your work guys.
You’re a good dad , hard to beat!
looking forward to your 2020 adventures
Love Cairns....loved the Skyrail 😄 2004
You went to some awesome spots, these are go to places for us. Safe travels, I love your vids.
Hi Guys, something to think about on your next upgrade, a Composting Toilet, i just put one in, brilliant, the best thing is you don't have to worry about a Dump point, you can use it up to 80 times without worrying about emptying, true story, and even better it, uses no water because you don't flush which is a win win when your living full time on the road and water is pretty tight, plus it doesn't stink, seriously no smell, easy to empty, just put it in a rubbish bag then in the bin. just a thought guys as you made the comment you had to find a dump point which can be a pain in the butt. love the videos, keep up the great work and roll on.
allan mumby hmmm I’ve never heard of those!! Thanks for the tip
heaps of information on RUclips, Also forgot, so easy to install, probably less than 1/2 hour to remove the Thetford Cassette and refit the Composting toilet
@@TripInAVan Heaps of information on RUclips, Also very easy to install, less than 1/2 hour to remove the Thetford Cassette and replace it with the Composting Toilet
allan mumby nice thankyou
Wow great work guys......how a major network has not picked you up yet I don't know.......keep up the great work
Michael Allen cheers mate

Thanks enjoyed as always, keep going guys.
thankyou
you guy;s are so cool keep it up gr8 vids ..love your vids
Thanks for a great video from a great part of the world..So many places there worth visiting many times compared to so many second rate over priced places around the country. Would love to hear more about the BT50 re-engine(?), What the cause, what was the damage etc? Did Mazda look after you ok? For me at least, it is the treatment received when the chips are down that guides future buying decisions more than price.
Grahame P we got a new long block covered under warranty. Mazda were unreal to deal with👌
@@TripInAVan Thank you - that is great to hear. It's stressful enough when something like that happens and worse when you have to go head to head with the big corporates. I was quietly concerned that some of the vehicle mods may have been seen as wriggle room for them.
really glad you addressed the sitch at the end cause was getting confusing to follow tbh. was wondering why you started with a toyota and then had the mazda again but all made sense after you explained. north qld looks stunning another ripper episode
and yeah bec, dont know where you got nibble pie from lol never heard that one in my life
Albert Kelly cheers mate, stoked you enjoyed it!!
Awesome Vid once again guys :) Good to see ya got the BT50 back...New motor wow hope it was covered under warranty ;)
Also Happy Anniversary....We just had our 14th and been together 18 years :) And Happy Birthday Justin :)
Didn't know you had Patreon BozSpoontech im in :)
Haha love the car more than the missus, GOLD! 🤣
I was waiting for you to start singing Working Class Man in front of the sugar cane fire 👍🍻👍
I’m a Victorian but never ever ever heard of a nibble pie?!?!?!?!?!
Was thinking the same thing, guess maybe some families make their own sayings up lol
I’ve just found your page and you guys are hilarious! Becs sweat on her upperlip... you just HAD to point it out. Typical husband, ya bastard 🤣🤣 my husband and I were cracking up
leahvibes haha!! Cheers guys
Just makes my day ! Watching your videos .!!
Peter. Hatch glad you enjoy them mate✌️
@@TripInAVan keep doing it ! It helps us lawn chair travelers !!
party pie yep!
Jake Pennell legend 💪💪
