HARDER THAN WE THOUGHT... First Impressions of Van Life Tasmania

Tasmania is absolutely stunning, but we are quickly realising it might not be as easy as we expected it to be for van life in our little Toyota Hiace. [Remember to protect yourself with Nord VPN: www.nordvpn.com... and use our link for 4 months free with 2 Year Plan] We are not self contained (apparently a pee bottle doesn't count as a toilet) which is a parameter for a lot of free camps. As we were here in the height of summer a lot of campsites with facilities are all booked up. Combine that with some rough weather and no LPG fuel stations things are a little tougher than expected.

⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. Then we took our van further than she had ever been before to the very beautiful Turkey. Enroute, we stopped off in Spain for a few weeks where we experienced every van lifers worst nightmare, we were robbed and they stole all valuables in our van. But then we were back on our feet, fully MOT’d and back on the road through Europe before we experienced another vanlife nightmare... our van caught fire!! After the trauma of that we had a massive change of plan and made our way to Japan. We enjoyed a three-month Japanese Adventure and then got back to Martha for some new European Adventures. After an incredible three-month Scottish road trip, we packed up our van and headed to Australia for a new van life adventure! Here we bought and built our new van in only 30 days and then took him deep into the Australian outback and beyond!

Thanks so much Pam ❤️

[@SecrePeach]

Philly you old romantic…… coffee in the morning and such a lovely sentiment at the waterfall! I know you have both had some tough times travelling but what a beautifully positive couple you are. I absolutely love ‘virtually’ hanging out with you guys, you really do make me laugh and brighten my day! 😊

[@phillyandkeely]

Awww thanks so much ❤️❤️ we are happy to have you all hang with us 🥰🥰

[@MrStuross]

Glenarif waterfall, Carrick-a-rede rope bridge, Portstewart strand all in one day - well done you two 😜🤣

[@phillyandkeely]

Really does look like them all, but Carrick a reade costs money now!

Your right and the beach and Mussenden Temple. 😜

I spent a month travelling Tassie in my campervan & for most part free camped ... and I was nearly 70 at the time #loveTassie ❤

Watched this while scoffing my roast chicken Sunday dinner , won’t lie I felt a bit guilty 😊Hope you guys have a better week ahead! Love from Co Down x

Morning guys, wow two hikes in two days well done. The waterfall was incredible, but the both of you. My tummy was turning as you went over the suspension bridge though...yikes !!! heights like that challenge me for sure. Just wanted to give you both a hug and say all is well, tomorrow is another day. Here's hoping you can find some Keely and Philly friendly park ups. BTW that chillie dish looked yum. 🫂 😊

[@richardsracingmad]

Did you have stuffing and gravy and those little tiny peas too? Edit, I got beaten to it😅

[@CarinaPiersay]

Hiya kiddos!! Happy St Patrick’s Day ☘️!! Tasmania is so lush and beautiful! Those ferns were massive! It kinda sucks no LPG and no cool park ups yet. Hopefully that all changes. Those falls were sooo beautiful! I was thinking Philly might get a crazy idea and want to climb them. Glad he didn’t 😂!! What kind of towns are in Tasmania? Are you staying away from the populated areas? Thanks for taking us along! Safe travels… from Southern California ☘️

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Carina ❤️❤️ happy st Paddy's to you too. There is a super cute town we can't wait to show you next week. Spoiler alert it had a steam train!

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Ditto, from Utah❤

[@dominiqueharvey-jones5248]

From Tassy, most of the West coast towns are old mining towns. It's often wet and raining but so green and gorgeous.

[@Amanda-uc5jq]

Loved your video 😁It’s still tourist season down here so they get stricter because everyone wants to free camp. West coast is wild & wet most of the time. Unfortunately people leaving human faeces and toilet paper everywhere meant a lot of places became self contained only. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time down here.

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah totally understand that if people are abusing the nature, they should have big fines for people who leave any kind of waste behind.

[@Amanda-uc5jq]

@@phillyandkeely has anyone told you about the bioluminescence in the water down here or about the southern Aurora? Oh & if you get a toilet and grey water container you will be considered self contained. 👍

[@CuriousEchidna]

Welcome to down under downunder. My favourite place is the tasman peninsula and the various capes to walk there. Also pretty good place for spotting an echidna. Enjoy your travels round our beautiful state

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah we will defo be doing a cape walk ❤️❤️ excited to share all our Tasmania explorations, the land down under the land down under 🤣🤣

[@lisawanderess]

This video brought to you by Bundaberg Ginger beer! 😂 No, but seriously you two, another lovely start to my Monday morning...Philly high five-ing the ferns was hilarious I was expecting him to say "Hi fronds"! 😂 What a beautiful place and Keely you're looking gorgeous in that red jumper. It's all about the "Wow" moments isn't it? That's why we put up with the many challenges of nomad life... Love you two! ❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Lisa ❤️❤️ haha to the high fives. Yeah the waterfall was so wow!!

[@debyarger3084]

The views are beautiful, waterfall was amazing,and that little bridge was crazy. Next time your in town. Keely you need a roller for those sore muscles. They don't take up much room and although painful at first the aftermath is priceless!

[@phillyandkeely]

Yesss defo need a roller! Philly has one of those mini massage guns back in Martha, that will be getting use after our first ireland/Scotland hikes when home haha

[@moniquedoherty8831]

Oh guys not a great start but the scenery wow!!!! You two seriously make me smile and laugh along with you. Good to know that free sites are few and far between and with restrictions.

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Monique 🥰🥰 I think we've just been unlucky in the area we are in, east is meant to be amazing for parkups

[@ewanstevenson]

6:05 Philly's really becoming best of fronds with the locals! 😂

[@phillyandkeely]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@alanhat5252]

Feeling you with the lack of parkups 😢

[@phillyandkeely]

It gets better thankfully, but it was harder than we expected for sure!

[@Amanda-uc5jq]

It’s still tourist season & everyone wants to free camp now. In a mini drought down here in southern Tas, brown, crunchy & dry dams

[@veronica1952]

Loved the waterfall fair play to you both for doing the walk . I would be like you hungry and tired after that. As the song by Peter Cunnah from Derry says "Things can only get better"Hopefully all goes well for you in the next week. 😂☘️💚 Happy St Patrick's day

[@Aaron-P]

Happy St Patrick's Day! Watching your vid over some lovely colcannon, roasted veg, a wee tipple of Jameson, and (by your suggestion back in the UK) mushy peas. Full disclosure, we're not able to get marrowfat peas in the US without extortive prices so we used Vatana peas, but they're pretty good! We're planning a trip to the UK in late September and are looking forward to the real thing. 😋🤤 Tassie weather looks more than a little like Seattle! 🌧️🌧️ Nice of them to make you feel at home i suppose? 😁 That chili at the end looked very tasty! Do you know why Irish chili can only have 239 beans in it? 'Cuz one more bean would be too farty (auditory joke). ❤️❤️✌️😎xx

[@phillyandkeely]

Haha that 239 joke 🤣🤣 oh my word som colcannon would go down a great right now!! Sounds incredible!!

[@deej7930]

You guys always make me laugh- yes I’m sitting here with my feet up and a cup of tea!

[@andypotts8062]

Wow that was a big waterfall wow and wow. Sorry Tasmania is not giving you a good welcome...I should have said the drone footage of the Waterfall was superb. Both of you looker to.have lossed some weight, must be all.the exercise. Totally enjoying your adventures. I'm away for a coffee. Best wishes to you both.

Excellent. Yes we got asked today if we have a loo on board lot of the parks you must be self contained. ❤. Looks like u are having fun though ❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Stella, yeah I understand the logic about self contained to protect the site, but also we have managed to survive many years without an onboard toilet, so we can control ourselves pretty well right now 🤣 all I need is a bottle haha

[@chriswebb9059]

Hi Guys I live in Tasmania so if you want any tips send me a message. Their are plenty of free camping in Tassy. Love watching your adventures especially you trip to the Northern Territory. Cheers Chris

[@phillyandkeely]

Aww thanks so much Chris ❤️❤️ yeah weve realised there is alot of free camping further east, I think it's just the area we were in 🥰🥰

[@chriswebb9059]

Yes plenty of free camps on the east coast, Easter will be a problem as a lot of people go campin,g, .pyengana has a free camp with showers, has a cheese factory and a nice waterfall. Also check out the Bay of Fires on the east coast. Maria island also a lovely place to visit. Tasmania a small place but to see everything take a couple of months.take care Chris

[@lisablanco9894]

Tassie is beautiful but it's very sad to see the state of your last camp spot. What a mess! Hopefully things will improve as you continue your travels :)

Thanks so much Lisa ❤️ yeah we were really surprised to see all that rubbish!!

[@kaz.murdoch]

@@phillyandkeely well, fingers crossed 🤞

[@brewsterkits]

Guys, Tassie has a lot of trees and not a lot else to me! the waterfalll was good, and what we saw of the beach, so was the rain! the sandwiches were good!!

[@phillyandkeely]

The sandwiches were the best 🤣🤣 so many beautiful trees

[@ScottEvans-vk7hse]

Montezuma Falls was a favourite of mine in the mid 90's when my sister was teaching on the west coast. The NE Dundas tramway serviced the Hercules mine and carted ore to Zeehan for processing. When I was last there the wire rope bridge wasn't a thing, the other side is a popular 4x4 track.

[@phillyandkeely]

That's cool that it was a 4*4 track! Such a beautiful area 😍

[@michaelrapson]

You seem a bit underprepared for wild Tasmania. Oh well, it's an adventure of a lifetime.

Yeah we barely seen anyone on that walk!! I don't know where they all were with all those cars!

[@SwampCityRadio1974]

Tasmania has free camping along the East Coast. I stayed at two free campsites at Swansea, one is quite popular and a bit crowded but the one directly opposite Freycinet is a beauty and the fishing is fantastic in the river mouth. I also free camped at Bluestone bay, bit of a bush track to get down there but it's a great spot overlooking a bay, whales and never ending flocks of migratory birds. There is a dirt track out of Richmond with a turning circle between two paddocks where you can pick oysters out of the tidal river. Just ask at the supermarket, they'll know which one, ha ha. I camped there for a while too, although I was pushing my luck. I packed up my tent every morning and had no problems. A neighbour brought me a beer at Christmas time.

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much for all the advice 🥰🥰 fryeyicent is such a beautiful area! That's what Sunday's video is about ❤️❤️

[@teresaqureshi9909]

When I drove (car) in Taz the rain was relentless I was proud of driving to port Arthur on a bridge road when I could barely see the end of my nose from the rain/spray. I also found a high concerntration of name places from where I live in the UK, Chiswick, Richmond it was surreal

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah crazy!! I kept saying to Philly why does Australia have no original names, it's all just named after UK towns haha. But I suppose we colonised it 🤣

Well I like the hiking better than the rock climbing . Personally here in the USA 🇺🇸 I prefer to walk on the rocks . That’s the best waterfall you’ve shown me so far . I wouldn’t have went anywhere else after seeing that the first station was closed . It would have been straight to some fuel .

[@phillyandkeely]

No LPG fuel until the other side of the country 🤣 so might aswell enjoy the scenery along the way haha, running on petrol ain't all bad, just doesn't run as smooth as it does on LPG.

[@julie3935]

I'd tried to blank those Tasmanians rope bridges out of my memory! I was there with my teenage boys who thought it was hilarious to wobble the bridge while I tried to make it across. They also love the "Im Philly, pleased to meet you" joke, I must have heard it over a thousand times. Tasmania is beautiful, it needs the rain to be so green and lush, enjoy.

[@phillyandkeely]

🤣🤣🤣 that's so cute Julie, glad they loved the joke. Not so cute about them wobbling the bridge haha.

Oh my god, we are tough in Tasmania because everything is more extreme down here and the weather can be unpredictable, but it's normal for us. This island is heavily regulated in terms of camping, it never used to be like this. Gas for your van, eek. Let's hope Tassie doesn't break you. Hope your trip gets better, and Keely, that you feel better, because those tracks are hard work. One last thought: can you imagine life for transported convicts (really were slaves) in Tasmania - it was hard to survive on the run. Take care and stay safe. Looking forward to more spectacular Tassie scenery.

Thanks so much Jo ❤️❤️ Tassie just keeps getting better and better, can't wait to share our next video with you all 🥰

I know that spot you camped in. Just out of Queenstown. You probably discovered the next morning 1 klm further up the road you could have camped near the boat ramp of Lake Burbury There is also plenty of free camping just past the Strahan airport overlooking Macquarie Harbour.

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Anthony, that's good to know about other spots 🥰🥰 we actually went back into Queenstown and it was lovely ❤️❤️ looking forward to sharing our experience with you all 😊

I had to scroll 10 minutes through the comments to find out where they were these two are like lost in the Wilderness not telling us where they were

[@phillyandkeely]

haha, we do need to start adding location pins back to our videos, got out of the habit in our australia videos, but your comment has motivated me to start doing it again!

[@Stellemae]

When you come back to Victoria, Bendigo specifically, hit me up and I'll take you out gold prospecting :)

[@phillyandkeely]

Enjoyed your passionate experiences & personalities P&K - avocado as well on mine pls - you probably discovered that the Wild West of TAS rains 400 days a year and even wetter than far nth QLD - the NW coast has recently been recorded as having the purest air in the world (surprisingly Antartica and Arctic poles release methane) - I’ve been trekking the apple isle from the mainland for over 30 years now and mainly Feb/Mar for the best weather and avoid school and public holidays - I’ve done it by small SUV with the last five being a bicycle on my own - hopefully you got to Liffey Falls/Mole Creek/Deloraine in the mid nth and Bruny Island/Huon Valley in the sth - now that we’re past Covid I can plan my solo Ireland/Canada bicycle trek in 2025 - happy travels 🚴‍♀️

[@phillyandkeely]

Oh wow a solo bike trip over in Ireland/Canada would be epic! So happy the world has reopened, honestly didn't know if we would ever get back to Australia for a while, so glad we have been able to come enjoy it and share it with everyone. Be prepared Ireland is like Wild west of tas, rains 500 days of the year 🤣🤣🤪🤪

[@debbiearmstrong7405]

Come to the Huon valley. Down south is gorgeous. Says me… a southern Tassie girl! 😉

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Debbie ❤️❤️

[@raneezeller7475]

Wow. That’s a different experience to what I’m having. Do you have wikicamp? Montozumer falls is amazing. lol my dog Tilly refused to go over the swinging bridge. It was pretty scary. I hope it’s improved already. The weather is perfect again xx

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks ranee 🥰 yeah we have wikicamps, think we just had an unlucky time this week. Much better on the east coast. Is your van also small or do you have a toilet?

[@raneezeller7475]

I’ve got a coaster bus so I’m fine. I’ve just watched your newest video. I hope you went to the WALL in Derwent. I cried the art work was so beautiful. I’m now staying at Waterhouse beach. For me it’s the most magical place in Tassie. There’s toilets here and no people. 🤣🤣 perfect. If you get the chance it’s village green part. Lover your shows always. Xx

[@rachelash7299]

Not knowing where you're going or what you're doing is all part of the adventure. Hopefully you find your feet in Tassie soon. We do have many places that look like you can camp but they're actually car parking areas so overnight camping not allowed. If you can camp somewhere it will generally have a sign that says "overnight stop" for example or "RV friendly"

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much for the info Rachel ❤️❤️ Tassie has been fab since our first few days haha
