Great to see the family still travelling and kids growing fast Cheers

[@coriousgmail2270]

Magnificent part of the country Highly recommend Ocean Rafting tours. We went with them last July and our kids loved it Thanks for showing us more of the Whitsundays.

[@cindydagger2303]

I stayed on Sth Molle in the 80's and one of the day activities was a snorkeling trip to Hook Island. The fish were amazing and they said there was a resident huge grouper but I didn't see it. We went onto the island and there was a camping area. But the snorkeling was amazing.

[@TripInAVan]

Very cool! Would have loved to see it back then

[@RobertHay-ic3dh]

Love watching your videos.

Drop your boat in the dam and give it a good wash👍

[@geoffreythurtell8761]

I stayed at Hook Island resort in the 1980's. The concrete pad beside the beach was the communal kitchen and bar. The cabins were up the hill a little further. From memory, there was also a small aquarium beside the resort, run by James Cook University. All wiped out now. 😢

[@TripInAVan]

That’s great info Thankyou . It would have been unreal back in the day

[@geoffreythurtell8761]

@@TripInAVan A small correction... what I called an "aquarium" was an underwater observatory run by University of Queensland. It looks like it was closed in 2010.

[@mickzammit6794]

Development killed the Whitsunday islands. I was employed and lived there through the majority of it. Whenever I see it's so called new beauty I feel sorry for the Proserpine locals who tried to keep it a secret.

[@whitsundaygirl72]

Yeahhh Airlie Beach was a good place at one stage but the do gooders from down south that have moved to the area have ruined it now and of course the local council and developers have listened to them and not to the actual locals that have lived in the area for many years as the old saying goes money talks

[@kateferlito4009]

Bowen Is Probably A Better Place To Consider To Live A Lot Of Nice Beaches To Visit As Well Unless You Like The Hustle And Bustle Living That Airlie Beach Has Turned Into Now But If You Want More Of A Laid Back Place Bowen Is The Option 👍

Haha that mask never seen one like that but game off thrones

[@triciawilliams8183]

You guys are true Aussies. It's good to travel when the kids are young. They're learning so much, let alone seeing our beautiful country. They'll remember these moments for the rest of their lives. Keep up the good work. Lastly, I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I go to your channel I have to turn up the volume (then ofcourse the ads blast and I need to turn it down) Anyway, don't know if it's your microphone or what..

[@TripInAVan]

Thanks mate… I have just upped the volume levels on latest video so hopefully it’s better👍👍

[@TripInAVan]

Sorry!

[@katherineedwards1963]

Can’t believe Hook Is resort looked like that. I worked on there in the late 80’s. The top cabins were for staff and the main buildings were on the beach. (Bar, restaurant and gift shop and the observatory round the corner). Very sad.

[@TripInAVan]

That’s crazy. It woulda been awesome back then

[@katherineedwards1963]
