Hi Darren, John was very happy with the result and that Starlink was working so well he was able to watch the entire game. Cheers Sharyn

Thanks Marg. I would like to just use Maps all the time but it chews through my data. Cheers Sharyn

I would and will happily go back there, such good value for money.

@@sharyns.shenanigans thanks Sharyn, we’ll have to add it to our long list. We have so much to explore in Qld.

@@CaravaningaroundAustralia thanks, John was so tired that day but insisted including it

Thanks so much. I'm sure sometimes our grown boys are cringing at Mum and Dad's antics but we are having fun. Hoping the weather "fixes" itself soon, our Cairns adventure was cancelled today so we are going to move on and hopefully do something on the way back down south. Cheers Sharyn

@@michaelreifenstein probably things have changed since then but plenty of people still caving in the area. Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans I did Punchbowl and Dip a few years ago.

@@michaelreifenstein Great memories I'm sure.

@@gibbosroadtripadventures thank Marg, it’s an amazing place

@@robwhitmore6658 thanks Rob, great to meet you too. Hoping next time I’ll see the whales up close. Travel safely, cheers Sharyn

Thanks for the great feedback Darren, I'm always a little nervous giving advice about things, so giving our facts about our actual costs sits better with me. I don't think we will ever revisit the Crystal Castle. I also know that you will never get John to change his football team. He was lucky enough to be at the grand final they won and he cried tears of joy and still talks about it to anyone who will listen. He doesn't mind the Dragons though, they rate as "okay" in his opinion, lol. Cheers Sharyn

Yes thanks for letting me know. My mistake, because we made the bookings through the NP website I assumed. I have made a note highlighting my mistake in the description of the video. Cheers Sharyn

Thanks so much Darren. Just making it up as we go, fingers crossed we continue to enjoy and make it up to the Cape without any breakdowns. Cheers Sharyn

@@rodtaylor2280 thanks so much, John has pages and pages of jokes. Don’t think I could stop him even if I wanted too. Cheers Sharyn

@@rodtaylor2280 thanks so much, John has pages and pages of jokes. Don’t think I could stop him even if I wanted too. Cheers Sharyn

Thank you.

we had to pause watching your video, had visitors pop in as my son has returned after 2 years traveling Australia. Loved your campsite, photography superb and following your experience. Perfect conditions for the sand for your first 4wd beach drive. We were nervous our first time on (at the time Fraser) as we were the first off the barge. There was a guy behind us over excited and was weaving from left to right and ended up popping his tyres. Loved seeing how it is now. You two look liked you fully embraced your visit. Cheers Marg

@@Lainiefj we have a dgi mini four pro. Just check the weight of the drone you choose, heavier ones can need a license. Cheers Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans thanks for the info I'd love one just have to convince the other half that it's a good idea

Sounds right, there were lots of dogs there.

Thank you. I was worried the vid was too long but just couldn't choose which section to leave out. Cheers Sharyn

Thank you, having a great time. Cheers Sharyn

@@gibbosroadtripadventures thanks so much Marg. It is a bit of a juggling act being a tourist and editing but I’m having heaps of fun. Cheers Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans That's the main thing - managing it all and having fun. We took 2 months off last year and explored WA but I didn't do any videos until I returned home, and I must say that they consumed me. At the end of the day, our memories captured are our greatest reward. We love looking back and reminiscing. Enjoy this special trip with John, we are right there with you. Cheers Marg

@@gibbosroadtripadventures gosh, I have to do the vids as I go otherwise I’d be in a muddle, my memory is so bad.

Really, we paid money for a bird sanctuary in Penrith who were so pleased to have rescued a curlew and were hoping they could breed it. Funny how different parts of Australia have different breeds in numbers. Cheers Sharyn

Yes, agree with Crystal Castle but more Dad jokes? Are you sure you should be encouraging him, lol. Cheers Sharyn

Haha, looking forward to John reading your comment, lol.

Pretty good one I reckon.

Thanks so much for the info. Looks like a great location on the map, we have marked it down. Have a great day. Cheers Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigansGday again. It’s a good spot, even the toilets n showers are really clean. Another tip, the old bp servo at Lakeland has awesome coffee. I won’t buy take out coffee, I’m not not a coffee snob. I do draw the line at Maxwell house. But, I won’t go past here without buying a cappuccino.

@@Biblibonty true, there are so many other places to discover. We really liked Mullumbinby and would stay there again. Cheers Sharyn

@@BradGryphonn star spotting at Byron would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Way too many people to have any chance. I much prefer the beautiful views. Cheers Sharyn

@@BradGryphonn thanks so much for the recommendation, I’ll check it out on the map. Cheers Sharyn

@@BradGryphonn hi Brad, we stopped at Beerwah sports ground and it was closed. Not sure if permanently or just because it’s too wet. Thanks for the info, maybe next time. Cheers Sharyn

@sharyns.shenanigans No worries. I should have mentioned that even tho it is 'closed and there is no caretaker, if the chain isn't up in that tree'ed area, you can stay there. Sorry for not explaining that. Looking forward to your next video. I'm currently just North of Yandina, at North Arm, up on the Ridge.

@@PeterBrennan-oz8jq finally some sunshine today and warmer weather today. Heading into QLD now and will spend a few days south of Brisbane. Hopefully things will dry out. Cheers Sharyn

@@PeterBrennan-oz8jq roads will be very wet this year, luckily for us the roads opened quickly last year and we could continue our journey. Cheers Sharyn

@@Boggle5 yes, totally agree, the crowds must be very hard to manage

@@Boggle5 yes it is, the scenery was stunning. Must be a nightmare managing the crowds. Cheers Sharyn

Great feedback that the Iridium is doing well. Another area to put on my list Eastern Goldfields. Approaching Brisbane tomorrow, hoping we can find somewhere quiet. Cheers Sharyn

Thanks so much for watching. John has so many jokes and just loves them - don't think I could ever keep him from sharing them. Cheers Sharyn

Sooo cold, glad to be on the coast now even though it is raining. It was raining really hard when we passed Ebor Falls and we've been in there before so decided to keep going. One day I'm going to do the Waterfall Way and Region spending a few weeks. It is so beautiful in that region but not appropriate when you mainly have summer, warm clothing with us. Cheers Sharyn

I was lucky enough to visit Adelong when doing the Snowy Sculpture Trail and it was a lovely place to visit. The sculptures, bakery and visitor centre were lovely. Did I miss something because I would be happy for an excuse to visit that town again? Cheer Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans come anytime the caravan park is doing a good price at the moment.

Sounds like a great adventure on your BMW. I followed the car GPS from Bombala to Buchan and the road sure was windy and narrow, and took me nearly an hour longer than I thought it should. On the way home I went via the highway and cut 45 minutes of the drive. Some roads are not well maintained around that area but the scenery is pretty.

I don't know what it is about watching Platypus, they are just addictive to watch and they don't really do that much but it's still so much fun. Hope you make it to that area it really is a beautiful spot. Feeling a little better every day and should be right for our big trip. Cheers Sharyn

Thanks, so great to see the Platypus, wish the weather was better. Our theory is that we caught Covid together but no idea when and how. While we wear masks regularly no one in our tight friendship bubbly has contracted it and I'm guessing we just picked it up randomly. I am grateful that many friends know of my medical condition and are careful around me. Guess the infection sight will always be an unknown,

Love the platypus footage will definitely add location to a future stop...hoping the side effects of covid have eased ..there not pleasant x

@@trisherdmannsky definitely a great place to stop and the town is really friendly, just need to find an alternative camping spot that is quieter. Feeling a bit better each day. Cheers

Thanks for the feedback Karen, I'm please to have it confirmed that they were Hooded Plovers (I've been wrong before). I couldn't believe how cheeky that wombat was and not cranky at all. If you want to guarantee seeing a wild wombat put Bendeela campground on your list. Big wombat community and they rule plus it's open and easy to photograph them there.Thanks so much for watching my adventure. Cheers Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans sounds great! I looked it up & it's fairly far away from us (we're in Melbourne) but I'll put that on our list if we ever go on a road trip up that way 😀

@@naturephotographychallenge I hope you get there one day, it's a really fun campground (make sure you don't go on a long weekend or peak Christmas times).

@@sharyns.shenanigans oh yes!!! I even have a camping rule now that we don't even arrive at a camping spot on a Friday as Friday night seems to be when everyone arrives all excited & is at their noisiest🤣

@@naturephotographychallenge good plan

Thanks so much Marg. I could have spent another week down there but we just seem to have so much going on that I needed to head towards home ago. The band at Coopernook looked like fun last night. Cheers Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans you're inspiring Sharyn, good on you getting out there and exploring as much as you do.

You are right - didn't know anything about it. Wish the information centre had mentioned it because that would definitely be something I'd be interested in. Cheers Sharyn

The Ranger were really surprised that it was a red belly black snake. They said they were aware of copperheads, tiger and white tipped snakes. I had to show them a photo to convince them what I'd seen. In Canberra the snakes are rare to see at this time of year. Cheers Sharyn

Hey Sharon, Jason thinks this looks like a tiger snake.

@@LeisaGreasby there you go, I've never seen one before. Glad he was sleepy. Cheers

thank you, cheers

Thank you, I’m so pleased I did that walk. It has made me realise I can do more. Thanks for watching. Cheers Sharyn

Wow yourself, so jealous. Would love to do the Overland Track. Really pleased with myself. Hope to go back and do the Lighthouse walk one day. Cheers Sharyn

I know, I'm from Canberra and we have lots of pine plantations. I just thought it looked dramatic and wanted to stop and see it up close. No complaints, I have plenty of pine furniture and am happy for it. Cheers Sharyn

I actually do have a drone with me and I should get more confident and use it more. When John is with me he uses it all the time. I just find it busy taking photos, recording, editing and putting the video together, especially this week with such a quick turn around, that I just haven't used it. Off to Wilson's Prom today, will have to see if drones are permitted and if so, I will use it. Cheers Sharyn

Thanks, lucky John was with me. Stopping isn't really his thing and I stopped a lot this trip.

Thank you, so looking forward to it. Cheers Sharyn

@@sharyns.shenanigans did a motorcycle trip doubling my son many years ago - at the prom a wombat went under the hammock he was resting in - and there was a large area of nesting silver gulls and they made a huge fuss if you went near - you don't often see flightless downy gull chicks

@@pabrizzer so looking forward to all the drama. Thanks Sharyn

Haha, John just read you comment and has texted me a joke for next video. Not sure I will deliver it as good as him but I'll try. Cheers Sharyn

I am sure you will be a hit.
