Great vid. It was lovely to see you highlight the Gloucester area and some its history. My family are from up that way and we spent much of our youth her years travelling Thunderbolts Way to get to the show or rodeo. And yes pple need to pick up their rubbish and not vandalise stuff. People will write on anything and everything. We have a walk here in the Jervis Bay Area and people scratch their names into the trees! Not to mention the rubbish anyway good that the nxt generation (your kids) understand the negative impacts of this on everything. Thanks for sharing

Great vid... One Day...

We have noticed here in Tasmania every watercourse is called a river no creeks down here

Great episode. So exciting to be able to link back to an area so full of family history. Those creek beds looked the perfect spot for a boiling hot day.😁🌺

My mum's cousin is a descendant of Thunderbolt - through an indigenous relative.

Gloucester is one of our favourite places in summer. Enjoying your episodes. Keep up the good work.

How much lithium & solar have you put in the van? I will be doing the same. Too hor!

I like the classic caravan look maybe because I'm 61 a classic myself ..amazing views from the lookout. 👍

Any idea why the land was taken back off your family?

Struth, you did it again, another bonza episode. Love that high country and Gloucester and surrounds are some of my favourite areas too. What a rippa sanga again, you caused me to drool more than a Saint Benards dog on a hot Aussie summer day when you rolled out that sourdough and made a mega pastrami club sanga! Hooroo , look forward to next weeks tantaliser 😊👍

My wife's great great ancestors ran one of the places that Captain Thunderbolt used to frequent and they used to put his horse shoes on backwards to try and fool the coppers and trackers. True story

Gloucester is a beautiful place ❤

When it comes to rivers and creeks, rivers are supposed to be bigger than creeks.But just east of Windoora in QLD the Thompson and Barcoo rivers meet to form Cooper Creek. The saying is that Australia is so dry that it takes two rivers to make a creek.

No mate Cicada’s aren’t Australian , they’re all around the pacific and North America 😉

Gloucester is a beautiful spot but Erin please understand that no one persons heritage history pilgrimage is more important or relevant than anyone else's, just a coincidence you announce this on Australia day i assume

my knees creek and you swim in the river

Hi Erin, Alex and kids. Love the idea of using aircon on AC battery system. What is the total capacity of your batteries in Ah? Do Truma aircon units run on lower Ah?

My wife is Gluten Intolerant but has found Sourdough doesn't affect her????

Another area to add to the list, great vid Rivers and streams flow to the ocean. A creek on the other hand is defined as a natural stream of water normally smaller than and often a tributary to a river or stream.

Yes, the old chocolate coconut water. Its in really high demand. I actually sell it. Its being rationed at the moment because the cant get enough into country fast enough. I went through 60 cases in 3 days

Couldn’t use your code for Custom Lithium, wouldn’t accept it

Hi guys ,hey old captain thunderbolt got around hanging out in Gloucester and also Tenterfield 400km between. Loved the family history lesson .

You can't really go on about others actions. when you were on Fraser with cam you decided to light a fire in your own fire pit and not in the designated communal fire pits as the rules clearly say . Everyone can do better especially utubers as there putting there bad behaviour for everyone out there to see 🙄

Wonderful that you were able to visit where your indigenous family lived Erin. Very special. Such beautiful scenery.

Gee I am a Gloucester girl...wish I knew you were there

I’m jealous of your indigenous heritage. My family has a super interesting history in this amazing country travelling with early explorers, one arriving in the gold rushes, a brush with bush rangers, riding the golden shoed horse, farming on a selection, three ANZACs who all survived, and a WWII bomber command survivor of 35 missions over his grandfather’s homeland in Germany - the guy who reputedly built Queensland’s first windmill. A blitz refugee from London make up my bitza ancestry and an indigenous heritage would complete the story.

Gloucester is a great spot, a couple of hours from us in Lake Macquarie, enjoy 🍻

kzbin.infoKekwYk-gwBw?si=RmmA5GfHcoMjAdih. Remind you of anyone Alex hahaha

how long did you run AC for , and what was battery % left ?

You guys are great! 😊 Those sandwiches looked amazing! Totally agree with you Alex about daylight saving. Have had (Little Island) iced coffee made with coconut water/cream. Nice too. One to try. Says Woolies sells it.Omg, your dogs are adorable! Cheers!

We stayed at the showgrounds at Gloucester in 2023. We did a day trip to Barrington Tops. We had the best day up there. Lovely walks. Lovely picnic areas. Did you tow your van up Thunderbolt Way at all???

Typical Aussies claiming everything. We kiwis have an abundance of cicadas also.😂😂

Daylight Saving is fantastic. Well, that’s what us NSW folk think. Light in the evening for BBQs and swimming

Im

Thanks guys looks like an amazing place to visit. One to put on our list😊

Just a beautiful story seeing where your ancestors came from.

Anything over 30 deg and camping is not my thing haha sub 20s with fire and rums 🍻

If you want to tow up to Barrington Tops it's better to go from the Scone side. It is very steep, but the climb up isn't as long as coming from Barrington. With the weight of your van you would probably want to go up in high range four wheel drive for the added traction.

Another great video thanks. Will have to take the grandkids there one day. Can I ask what was the paper that you wrapped the meat in before placing it back in the BBQ?

Is Rain Parrot an Apple app only? Can't seem to find it in my app store?? 🤷‍♀️

Not 100% sure but rice paper should be used on Spring Rolls, which are served cold, if you make, what we call egg rolls, which are fried, then you should use Won Ton sheets. Great videos, makes me miss Australia so much.

Life gives you lemons

The mid north coast of NSW is awesome. Yes we have had a lot of rain recently. Looks like the Kids enjoyed the water park..!!

Hello everyone! I'm planning a family vacation and I'm in the market for a good camping caravan. I've been searching online, but I'm overwhelmed by the numerous options. I want a caravan that's spacious, comfortable, and durable. Can anyone recommend a reliable dealership or manufacturer? I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions!"

Great video guys I tell you I am in my 60s and I would have jump straight into that water playground

Hey Alex just wanted to ask you about the grill plate you got for your Webber did you purchase a half one or did you have to get a two pack ?

It was great seeing Alex and the kids absolutely having a ball at the waterpark. Top marks Erin catching that fun on camera. You were making taste buds come alive with the spring rolls and then the pastrami.

Looked like a great time was had by all.TFS.💕💕

Those water parks are so much fun

Good Pastrami 👍🏻🍻
