BUSH CAMPING AT LANDCRUISER MOUNTAIN PARK | SEASON 2 - EPISODE 1 ROADTRIP AUSTRALIA

CAMP FIRES, WATERHOLES AND 4X4 TRACKS.
Welcome back to Season 2 of Roadtrip Australia!! We have just come out of travel restriction lockdown in South East Qld and headed straight to a place called Landcruiser Mountain Park.
Only a few hours inland from the Sunshine Coast & a perfect place to camp up for a few nights and test out the new rig, have a few campfires and just relax!
We do some campfire cooking, and explore the campgrounds on offer around the park. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did!!
Cheers - Justin & Bec

Our most watched Episode - z • BEACH CAMPS ON THE NIN...
It all started when…
In December 2015 we packed up and hit the road for what we thought would be a 12 month Lap of Oz. Fast forward 4 years and we decided to create a video series of our travels to show you all what it’s like to live life on the road!!

[@snoordman4831]

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you guys for putting so much effort into making these fantastic videos! We sold our house, car and a lot of our belongings, bought 4 (familie of 4) visas and 4 one way trip plane tickets to Australia to go travel for a year... Unfortunately covid wrecked our little plan but we are persistent and we decided to postpone our trip with a year.. So with a little luck we will be visiting your beautiful country next year. Until then we will be looking forward to the videos you make with all the fantastic stories! Thanks again!! Cheers mates 🤙

[@TripInAVan]

S Noordman damn COVID has messed with us all !!!! Great to hear your persistent and will see you hear one day👊

[@stevepierce3509]

Epic trip guys, I recon Charlie Bear is the Wild Child of the Bunch and show the boys up as they get older. Loved how she was laughing hard about leaving Mum at the Gate and driving on. Cant wait to see all of your kids grow up and watch them out bush that you guys as parents give them inspiration to the future of the many opportunities we have away from the big Cities out Bush. I'm more than sure they will follow in your foot steps to being drawn to the Country more than the Big Smoke. Happiness is being Bush hands down. It has a spiritual self healing property to the mind. I grew up with experiencing it through my Parents on Caravan trips and the Bush, and cannot leave Country now. Good on you guys. Its what every kid should grow up experiencing in life.🙏 You can see it in there faces they are enjoying Life.

[@davidmedlyn7401]

Cracker of an episode guys. The track down to the waterhole was epic. If it was Springtime, I hope you'd be taking the pressure bandages and the EPIRB. If one of the kids was bitten by a brown snake or coastal Taipan, you'd wanna be able to call the chopper. I know, I know, it's a downer of a subject, but most of the farmers on that edge of the Great Divide all carry the basics. It's like having a pool fence - better safe than sorry.

[@davemclaughlin8646]

Excellent start to season 2/ guys,a couple of campoven hints for you mate,1=never put your lid down on dirt,especially sand,for introduced grit into meal,hint is preselect a nice preferebably a stone,rocks,or even a couple of sticks to place lid on if removed during cooking!,2=to save oven space for veges,wrap a small pumpkin,sweet potato, potatoes in 3_4 wraps of Alfoil and place in coals on fires edge,cook for 45_60 min until soft when squeezed, then is cooked perfectly? 3= always condition oven before use by several heatings with vegetable oil ,& boil water in after use to make for ease of cleaning, wipe inside liberally with oil to prevent rusting, then is already for use next time,4= at southern side of kingaroy is the famous boiled peanut van,when in that area,keep an eye out for gayndah Navel oranges,munduberra mandarins,this is their prime seasonal harvest time,sweetest after winters first frost,happy travels guys through my old stomping grounds into central Queensland, I was raised on farm at Thangool, Mount Scotia has a great free camp?Canis gorge at Monto is worth a look,Canis dam is great fishing \boating,Callide dam at Biloela is worthwhile also?as always, Kindest Regards,Dave McLaughlin, Queensland ,Australia

@@TripInAVan,here is a winning campfire meal tip,with nil washing up!,Grab a medium to large Queensland blue Pumpkin, slice a lid off it,approximately 20_30 mm down from the top,scoop out all seeds,pith,to hollow out the insides,fill the insides with left over stew,casserole, or 1 cup per person of tin products,eg.curry,bake beans,spaghetti, harvest tin meals,place lid back on,in same position, lining up outside skin,secure with 3 small sticks( about the size of 2"_3" nails,make sure to remove all the stem(core), wrap in 3_4 layers of Alfoil,place in coals,cover and cook for 45_60 minutes, until soft when poked,remove from fire,carefully unwrap alfoil,remove pegs,lift lid,give family a spoon each,tuck in,a great way to use up frozen leftovers, wrap remaining skin in alfoil

Steak medium to medium well. Finally..... someone else in the world that doesn't eat steak warmed over raw....... I actually go for well done but I don't like it mooing at me!. Good vid, great pics, beautiful country. Wished Cruisemaster could persuade some of the high end van/trailer manufacturers here in North America to use their suspension. and the shot of the night sky at 23:08 is awsome!!

You should get yourself a small camp smoker so you can smoke/slow cook some pulled pork or lamb, or even a brisket. Best thing you'll ever do and you'll get that awesome smoke taste to your meat and whatever rub you decide to put on the meat.

[@bear6810]

Justin hot tip, use a hammer or small mallet whatever you have in your toolbox to smack the back of the Tomohawk to chop up your kindling... it works a damn treat & give it a go & se how much easier it is you don’t even need to hit it hard i did the old facepalm when i saw how simple safe & effective that camping hack is ... Loved the Episode guys that place is on my list...

Bec and Justin, Well done, you guys are legends and so inspirational. Watching your video and how you raise your kids gives me a little but faith in humanity. It just goes to show that young minds have amazing creativity and the kids seem so happy and able to make their own fun with out having to spend hundreds of dollars at toy stores. Keep up the great work and Justin, if ARB want to help you out with a good deal ask them about the HEMA HX-1, lots of offroad maps and better than your phone or in-car nav. hehehe. Take care and hope to see you on the road some where, just ordered my new van and about to order a cruiser. Steve M
