It’s pretty peaceful. Where do you like to camp?

You must be a ? I don't even no what to call you 😂 if you hate camping why you on this channel 🤔

@@davidmilledge221 It's people much like yourself that congregate at such spots which proves my point. As for the Murray it's a muddy river. Incidentally do they travel from overseas to holiday on the Murray?

@@australiaprisonisland9156 I don’t understand your point? My idea of a great camp is a peaceful setting, off grid, not many other people around, this sandbar area is not muddy at all. Have you visited the Murray? Do you only camp on beaches? I do love those too

I agree, the instructions did say to do that to make it work faster. I don’t think I’ll do that again

Nah! This is my footage and my original video. Have a look in my TikTok, it’s my video from 2022… but thanks so much for looking out for that. My TikTok is @donnabuckingham__ it’s in my folder scary places Australia 🫶

Someone was just telling me they went snorkeling up at cape Leveque - we definitely swam at Broome beach that is patrolled and also had a few days we couldn’t swim as it was closed because of a croc sighting so I guess it depends hey. Thanks for your comment 🫶

Thanks Yes, took us a few days to get through this one! Would love to learn how to ferment in oils to save it and less canned tuna

Yes we leave them inside, most of the time with the windows open and fly screens closed. They have never attempted to get through the screens. But if you are worried you could leave the roof windows open.

Oh wow, they are terrifying. You have to go out to this area in Kakadu it’s just beautiful and so much to see include Ubbir for sunset

Totally 👍 wish we had another $20k to spend on

So friggen close hey!! 👋

😅​@@Donna.Buckingham

Totally, would be awesome to have a big double roller door but didn’t have more $$

He is on his own next time

🤪 idiots

Hahahaahha our caravanning days are over

Depends on where you learn to speak. In AUSTRALIA it's called a caravan🤨

Yes here is Australia we don’t use the term travel trailer. We call this a caravan or van 😀

Opting out next time

For sure!!! A few extra metres all round will make everyone happier - the bank account is the problem 🤑

I'd place some foam or rubber on the shed entrance. At least if you catch it, you are less likely to cause serious damage. Secondly, get a railway sleeper and place it behind the caravan wheels when your caravan is in. Mark their exact location. Drill through the two timber stops and the garage floor and use rebar or solid steel rods. That way, when your reverse, you cannot go further than your caravan wheel stops. Lastly (as an option) fit a cctv camera on each corner facing opposite directions so you have 360 degree camera viewing (adds caravan security) and place the viewer in/on your dash and internally on the caravan with any DVR if you want to record... cheaper options that a new door and widening the opening.

@@Donna.Buckingham Agreed but you built the shed for the van seems like false economy, however if it was just a mistaken measurement then live with it for a time while you save up to make a couple of changes to make life easier

Thanks for your feedback, we did get the higher roller door to fit the van but yes we are cheapskates on the wrong side of life not being willing to spend a another $5k for ease of entry. My husband will agree to make it 3 metres wide each way for sure 🤪

At least your structure seems to be well built, so 'cheapskate' or not, pretty good effort. See my other comments for alternative 'cheapskate' solutions 😉

100 percent would be way more fun to hear the stories from the Mena Creek Hotel than watching my boring you tube video 🤯😝🙌

Yes remember them, every one had them from fantastic furniture

It’s bruised now! 🤪

Hey Thanks Sharrilee I am glad you found me! 100 percent life is too short 🫶 we are tired of spending life stuck at a desk or working long hours. You need to think about enjoying all the moments you can ✔️ glad you are here and thank you for commenting 😘

Cheers Daniel! It is a fun road trip, on the way over we got a lot more time checking out all the spots to stop. And yes I guess because of the remote location you pick up on a lot more weird stuff. Hello back from Victoria too 👍

It’s such a great place to camp, it was a little creepy at night when no one else is there and there are huge dog prints

Very good advice 🫶

This is so very true, WA is so huge! Thanks for commenting Darryll 🫶

WA is pretty darn awesome. I have 105 places and most of them are in WA. I live in Vic and have maybe 3 here. Thanks for sharing your beautiful state with us 🫶

Awesome Shaun, thanks for your comment and watching 🫶

It is really an incredible place 🩵

Thank you for your lovely comment, replying from freezing Geelong 🥶

Hey Anna, this is just the intro. If you tap on the link it will take you to the full video, I am breaking it down into several shorts videos. Thanks for your comment and feel free to ask me any question’s in the comments

Hi Byron, I am not sure how to answer this one but I know they used jigs of some sort to try to get squid. Not much luck here but more luck at south LeFroy. If you reply I will ask my son and husband to get more specific and let you in on where to go to get the spangos

Sounds terrible, but modern prisons are a lot more cozy

🤯👍

Yes water snacks are sooo deadly

Sadly not, the crocs attacks are getting more and more frequent

It is pretty amazing when the wind is down

Thanks!!! Held up pretty well since it’s half the price of a lot of the other vans getting around these days

Yes. Maybe they thought it was safe from crocs

Yeah who knows with these algorithms, some stuff goes bonkers and some stuff not at all.

Thanks so much, we are in our new house now and when they get to go to the yard they both walk to the caravan. I think they just like sleeping and looking out the window

I get it, but is it harder to afford everything on your own? Do you also take care of the outside of the house, gardens, car, maintenance of property etc?

@@Donna.Buckingham not if you don't live above your means. My partner and I had been together for eleven years, childfree. We shared household expenses, but without the added costs of children, childcare, schooling, etc., we built a large savings and still had spending money after expenses are paid. We had a mutual split back in February, and while it has been an adjustment to not share expenses with someone, it's not harder than it was before.

@@socksandpi1264 thanks for sharing, it’s good to hear other people perspectives 🫶

Well done for being so active 🫶

It’s such an epic trip, there is so much to see up the east coast of WA too.

@@Donna.Buckingham Sadly my Ford XA back in 84 just didn't have the legs to do the Tip from Daintree

Good point!
