Ripper episode. We are about to set out on our half lap. Hopr we can come accross you some where in nirthern WA.
Book the boat to Tassie now!!! My suggestion is February to April. School starts in the first week of February, so should be easier to stay and see stuff. Weather much kinder at that time of year and best bit is daylight savings!!!!! It's a bit cold here in Tassie at the moment.... barely breaking the teens during the day 🥶
😮😮😮 that's chilly! Thanks so much for the advice. Really appreciate it and love feedback for Tassie locals! Can't wait to see Tassie as believe it is absolutely stunning!
A great back story. Thank you so much for sharing and good on you for doing what you are doing.
Thanks Cathy! Appreciate the feedback and support! 😊
Thank you. Appreciate the feed back and hope you have a great week
What a great adventure you took us through today! It is great to find out where people are from and what they did in their past lives. I think travelling while still young enough to do the hard yakka is important because packing up every couple of days would sure be enough exercise I think. You two are great company for those of us who may never get onto the road.
Today I spent time reading most of the comments because they also cast a wonderful light on who you are. It is special having such lovely people making videos for the rest of us to watch.
For me today, packing up my farm alone now it is sold is doing my head in (and my back) so I had to take a break and enjoy some sanity by watching your video. As an older lady, packing and moving is hard yakka which is why I said about doing the travelling while still young enough. Work is so much easier to achieve online these days. So one could still work and travel.
Inspiration like yours makes it doable. Always good to see you having a great time in your videos and hope maybe one day to meet. 🍻
Thanks so much Clissa, always love hearing from you! Oh you poor thing, packing is a nightmare! Especially if you have been there a while good luck with the pack up and the move. So pleased we can bring you some relief during the day. 😊
Sharon and I left on or new life on the Australia Day weekend in 2020 got locked down in Lightning Ridge for 10 weeks during COVID then 6 in Moree. Enjoyed the show
Thanks Derek. Wow what a start to your journey! It was such a sobering experience when Covid first hit. Had no idea what was to come from it all!
Well done Deryk and Sue,your honest perspective of life on the road is very informative and fun. Thanks Steve and Rochelle.
Hi guys, thanks so much for the feedback, we much appreciate it!
Been following you two for a while now but never comment. You pair crack me up. Sue with a permanent smile and Derek is just a character by just being Derek
Hey Steve great to hear from you. Thanks so much for commenting! Deryck is a real character, he certainly keeps me laughing 😊 hope you have a great week!
Loved the backstory we have booked Tassie ferry on the 7/2/24 for 3 months will hopefully see you there somewhere.
Oooh that's exciting, yes sure we will cross paths at some point!
Great episode
Thanks Lesley, have a great week! 😊
what a great watch, really enjoyed and thanks for sharing your life,
Thanks Peter, great to hear you enjoyed it!
Last time I visited family in East London I was a bit surprised at how much the city has changed, but outlying areas like Gonubie are still nice.
100%, I haven't been back for about 7 years but believe it I'd very different. Alot of family are moving to outlying areas like Gonubie and the East Coast.
Thanks for sharing your story. It was great. I feel like I know you better. I admire the resilience of people who leave their home and move-it’s a huge thing to do.
Sue…you can’t win the lottery the same week as me😉
Thank you. Don’t worry, you have to buy a ticket to stand a chance 😂
😂😂😂 love that well if wither one of us wins we will have to buy some champers to celebrate 🍾
Great episode - Thanks for sharing.
As a young fella, I also lived in East London from '83 to '87. Awesome memories.
Keep up the good work & safe travels. 👍
Oh wow. Was a beautiful little town in the 80s! Loved growing up there but has changed a fair bit! Thanks for your message and support!
What an awesome “getting to know you” video guys. Thank you.
Love to catch up somewhere in the future and see Deryck pull some cool dance moves. 😂
Ahaha he does have some interesting moves! To be honest he is quite a good dancer, especially after a few beers. I have absolutely no rhythm! 😊 would absolutely love to meet up on the road! Please let us know of you are ever in the area!
Good evening 😊 when i was 3 my dad moved to East London for work , Then when i was 5 we moved back to Johannesburg .Thanks for sharing , awesome story 😊
Beautiful pics and thanks for all the adventures you shared 👍🏼👏🏼 Greetings and cheers 🍻 legends From South Africa🇿🇦
Hey Yusuf, thanks so much for the message! Wow can't believe you lived in East London, such a small town. Always appreciate the feedback!
Like we all say, if you’re enjoying the trip keep on going!
100% agree. Just keep going! That's our plan. Thanksnso much fornyour comment!
Loved listening to your life story. My late wife was also born in East London and her family moved to Australia in 1960. When I first heard Sues accent I had a bit of a giggle but that another story about when I first met the lady who became my mother in law.
🤣🤣🤣 that sounds like a superbly interesting story Geoff! Small world if your late wife was born in East Lomdon as it is a super small town. We probably know the extended family! Would love to know more about it!
Thank you 🙏
A wonderful story guy's, so private as well. Thank you for sharing. And at this rate with an average of 1,000 views per hour I think for a couple with funny accents you may just become Oz's favourite caravan couple. Cheers.
😂😂😂 thanks so much! Yes we do have funny accents and Derycks gets more interesting every year! 😂 really appreciate the lovely feedback and your support. Hope you are having a lovely week 😊
We moved to New Zealand without visiting the country too. Wasn't fortunate enough to get a rental so brought a tent and camped through a Christchurch winter 😂. Tough times, but looking back it was also the best of times. Great to hear your back story guys....great video
Thank you. Wow , through winter. Glad it worked out for you 🙌🏻
Wow that would have been a really tough start! Well done on soldiering through. Immigration is tough but a tent in Christchurch through winter must have beennreally challenging!
Another cracking vid guys, humble and funny. Your photos of the south island were beautiful. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks so much James, really appreciate the feedback! Yes NZ was brautiful😊
Thanks for sharing your story, Excellent video.👍👍👍🇦🇺
Thanks so much for the feedback 😊
I lived in East London for a while. Have good memories of surfing Nahoon! Family owns Devereaux Lodge which you may know.
Mike! You won't believe this bit I worked at Devreaux Lodge!!!! For 6 months in 1999 or 2020 under Maggie Connor! I worked for your parents lol! Thats how small East London is!
Another awesome video guys Couldn’t agree more about the traffic light theory mate we are loving this lifestyle 👍🇦🇺
Thank you 🙏.. 💯 safe travels 😁
Right place, right time to meet our favourite people 🍻
Great video guys!
100% love ya 😘
Good to see you are coming to TAS if you haven’t booked the spirit of Tasmania ferry yet look at it ASAP. Great channel guys
Thank you for the heads up 😁
hey you guys! fantastic to get to know your past history together, so awesome. what the bloody hell was Bobby looking at? have you got a mouse in the house? 😂🤣🐁🐭
😂😂😂 he has been chasing flies all week. There have been alot around and he loves it! Keeps him busy and out of trouble 😂 thanks as always for your feedback and support. Hope you are having a great week 😊😊
Thanks guys for sharing 'this is your life'!
We really enjoyed listening to your story and now feel like we know you both somewhat. We booked the Spirit of Tas 3mths ago hoping to go over in October the earliest we could get was 24 December for 3.5mths. So you really need to book now. Hope we see you over there.
That's awesome guys, so exciting. It would be great to cross paths in Tassie! 😊
@suelandolt6840
Would love to meet you both and have a drink or two. You guys brighten up our day when we watch your episodes and admire that you stay true to yourselves, don't ever change. :-)
Best mid week episode, I loved it !!! Thanks so much for sharing, I’ve always wondered how you met, how you got to Aus, and how you started travelling. Definitely buy the occasional lottery ticket, someone has to win 😊. How good is Exmouth, I could live there for sure. Have a great week 😊
Thanks Robyn! Really appreciate the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it. We have a lot of different questions asked all the time so thought we would share our story. Appreciate your support always. 😊
Thanks for sharing your back story, and your ongoing story, thoroughly enjoying following your travels. Your episode tonight encouraged us to go back and watch your very first episode, we had some laughs😂

Thanks so much, didn't know whether viewers would be interested but thought we would give it a go! Yeah our mate was a good bloke! From Gawler! Wow. We didn't meet many locals other than the owner of the park, Simon and Ally. Not a bad spot but far too cold in winter 😂 good luck with your preparations for your travels. Sure you will have a great time!

Thamks so much for the lovely feedback! We will keep going for as long as we can!
Thanks so much for sharing your history, life certainly isn't a given, so your decision to make your adventure is joy to my heart. My wife and I are on that very same path in life. "Doing it now before we can't". Great tip sleeping/resting under 4wd. Have done it many times on stinking hot summer days on the beach. Safe travels 👍

😂😂😂 yup thats us totally sober 😂😂😂 you should see Deryck after a few beers!!!
Hi guys. Still enjoying your content. Just wondering Sue, if you have asked Deryck what brand the canopy drawers are?
Oh sorry the drawers they came from MW Toolbox!
Thank you for the inspiration. We bought a van in November last year and started watching you videos at the same time.Currently we have planned a trip down to see the great ocean road and the back to Emerald Qld for Xmas.
Hopefully this will inspire us to go full time. It is the grandchildren that limits the travel ATM but slowly weaning ourselves off them (I Hope).
Keep up the great work
Thank you so much. Hope you have a great trip and safe travel when you do go on holiday
