We share our authentic experience of life on wheels in one of the world's hottest environments. If you're a fellow traveler, adventure enthusiast, or simply curious about life on the road, don't miss out on this heatwave survival journey through the heart of the Outback and into the unique and fascinating town of Coober Pedy, where the people live underground to escape the temperatures. Drawn to the area for Opal Mining it has a wild west feeling, but the people have hearts of gold (or opal :P) We ultimately cannot stay safe in the van at such high temps and seek refuge in one of the dug out (cave like) rooms. Learn from our mistakes as you see the challenges of Van Life in Coober Pedy in the Aussie summer.

⤈ 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 have now packed up our van and are heading to Australia for a new van life adventure!

You guys did such a great job battling that heat!! We have no idea how you did it, carried on adventuring and having a laugh and filming!!😮 I would’ve crumbled instantly 😅😂 we’re loving the Australia series!! 🇦🇺🦘

[@clarissatodd4975]

I genuinely get excited every Sunday to watch your new video. Thank you so much for sharing! Also, having lived in a van in Florida in the summer with no AC (only 38°C but 98% humidity 😬) made these last few videos very relatable. You guys are champs and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the temps stay cooler for the duration of your trip. Thanks for the laughs and positive vibes!

[@phillyandkeely]

Oof it's tough in the van even with Aircon, so no idea how you survive without it! Good on ya 💪

[@angelagraetz6505]

When we stayed at The Comfort Inn the carpark was full of RV’s and campers… literally every car! So no shame in taking a break underground.

[@johnburnett5624]

Hi guys, Really enjoying your vid. My wife and I have travelled all over Australia over 25 years plus and never had any trouble with road trains and if you go into the mining areas of WA the're a LOT longer. As far as travelling in the outback, the tourist season is from April to about 1st week in September. Only the locals and travellers just as yourselves travel at the other times. During the tourist season you'd be lucky to get into a Coober Pedy caravan park it's that busy.

[@phillyandkeely]

Good to hear that there are benefits to comomg this time of year as it felt like we had the place all to ourselves with no other tourists, a fair trade off for crazy heat haha. thanks for your kind words John ❤️

[@jacquelinerichardson5809]

Awww yiu poor things. The heat can be unbearable but being in a car with no relief i feel for you. ❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Jacqueline, we appreciate your empathy 🥰

[@lisawanderess]

Soooo cool you two! As crazy as I think you are for tackling the outback at this time of year, the fact that you've done it is AMAZING! So glad you took respite in the cool dugout. I so wanna go there too now! Thanks for another great chapter! Love you guys! ❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much my love ❤️❤️❤️

[@johnniecoles3925]

Great video as always guys, so many memories for me there. The campsite of dirt you stayed at was where I had an argument with the owner, him telling me that we were in a camper van, not a camper trailer. We got charged less for 2 nights as he was convinced that the thing we were towing and living in was not smaller than just a little van. Heat had got to old mate methinks!

[@phillyandkeely]

😂😂😂 unique place isn't it! Literally only one other tourist in the whole place (in that big rental van at campsite) apparently sane people don't usually come in summer 🤪🥵

Makes me laugh about the heat. Welcome to summer in South Australia. My son in laws grandpa is the postie in Coober peddy and runs tours.

[@phillyandkeely]

That's awesome that his grandpa runs tours, such an interesting place!

[@southaussie5108]

Awwww. You would have gone pass Woomera. Wife, 3 daughters and I lived there for 4 years 1984 - 88. I worked in security of the Rocket range there. One Christmas we had 9 days straight over 45c ..... and it didn't seem that hot at the time. The small fires along side of the road is what is called fire stick farming. its to keep the combustible grasses down to prevent a major bush fire. also some plants need fire to bust open the pods to release the seeds for regeneration. the burning is normally done and controlled by council workers namely Aboriginal workers.

[@phillyandkeely]

That's so interesting that you lived there and worked on the security range!! Did you ever see any rockets take off? Or did they build the tech and send it to other places to launch?

[@cherylmckay9347]

I can't believe you guys decided to travel at this time of year through Central Australia

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah our six month visa landed smack bang in summer by the time we finished the van, we decided to go December- Jan so that we could be gone by the extreme temps in Jan - Feb, but the heatwave came early it seems 🤣 i suppose at least we are showcasing the realities of life there for the locals, not just optimum season 🥰

Oof I remember the hottest heat I’ve ever been in was in Australia, New Year’s Day 2006 (don’t start mathing on me Keely, we’re both robocop babies and that’s all I wanna say about my age 🫣😂) and it was 49C. Omg I was hungover and thought I genuinely might die. When you said “Am I in a kiln?” It all came flooding back. The end of this video was such a relief to see you guys get a break from that kind of heat!! I never would have lasted multiple days. Well done! I hope you’re enjoying somewhere more temperate now❤

Your brain honestly can't comprehend the heat, it's like you know it's going to be hot, but you can't fathom your core itself being hot, we just have no point of reference being from Ireland, even all the hot countries I've been in on holidays, nothing compares to the outback heat, it just hits different 😂 I think it's because no amount of shade or wind helps, it's EVERYWHERE 🥵🥵🥵

Great vid guys, Coober Pedy is on my bucket list for 2024, I can't wait!

Safe travels 🙂

Good morning Keely and Philly wow talk about a heat wave I hate when I go to a cold place but when I get there never been this hot before but you guys have heat and wind can’t even make pancakes glad you went underground it could be dangerous take care see ya soon 😘🌺🌸☕️🥵

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Linda! Yeah the lack of pancakes took its toll on my morale 🤣🤣

[@veronica1952]

Your video reminded me of Jamie Dornan and his series Outback it looked horrendous 😂but you both were sensible and as you say staying safe (and all ve) is very important we couldn't do without you two 💚 really enjoyed seeing the hotel but not sure it's as good as the usual Comfort Inns 😊Very enjoyable xxx

[@phillyandkeely]

The darkness in that room is like no other, deepest night sleep ever!

[@richiebainbridge2608]

Oh wow that temperature must have been awful. Loving the video, keep em coming.

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Richie ❤️

[@thewanderingjojo4239]

Ahhhh look at you two sneakies, you went underground hahahaa! Good bloody choice that. I am alike you guys, dark dark rooms are blissful when you absolutely need sleep, they suck you in, i call them Vampire days! It's incredible how these areas that don't have anything to look at, 2 hour drive feels like half a damn day of driving. I have felt that type of heat, and its beyond debilitating and absolutely draining. Fires in the NT are part of the normal land regeneration and left to burn out, it happens alot, and I saw plenty heading into Kakadu National Park, it is alarming when you aren't aware of it. Glad you survived, kept your humor and danced in the rain. Ranger loveheart Keely. The names growing... Yo da bes guys!

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah the roads feel like a time warp!! Three minutes feels like thirty, it's crazy! Dark room vampire days i think we need to plan at least one of these a month to keep our energy up 😂😂

[@kevsamo7252]

Wow - that looked a really testing time in that heat. Fair play guys & don’t blame you one bit for escaping underground. I would have done the same. Another great episode

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Kev ❤️❤️ definitely needed that room, deepest sleep I've ever had 🌑

[@SecrePeach]

Wise move to stop, rest your mind body and souls, you clearly needed it! I’ve experienced 43 degrees in Dubai and even a cold shower wasn’t cold it zaps your energy, fun and common sense too so you really did the right thing. How you managed to keep so up beat is unbelievable. You both always manage to inject some giggles along the way, the tumbleweed 😂🤣😂 and Kelley I’m with you on falling over….. hello, ankle op 🙄🤣😂 keep you’re spirits up guys and don’t sweat pushing for content if you’re not up to it, it’s great just hanging out with you both 😁👍🏼

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much ❤️❤️ yeah it feels like showers swimming etc still struggle to cool you really when your core is radiating heat like that. Thanks for hanging with us ❤️🙏

[@pamfogarty3087]

OMG how do people live there when it's that hot! Keely you were close to having a heat stroke - wow. All that is missing is Mad Max on that road hahaha. You guys rock!

[@phillyandkeely]

Hahaha thanks Pam ❤️❤️❤️

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Feel for you guys, glad you got to spend time indoors b4 your brains fried..❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Thankyou ❤️❤️

[@ChubbyJesusLives]

Might be worth checking out Spanian. He’s an Aussie KZbinr who explores dodgy areas. Could be advantageous to know where to avoid. X

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Robert I will check him out 🥰

[@kristingrounds4163]

Hopefully the weather will cool down for you soon!!

[@phillyandkeely]

🤞🤞🤞

[@andypotts8062]

Brilliant video superb quality..watching you enjoying the heat while we are at -2 in Northern Ireland. How Brilliant are the dug outs and I agree, it looks like the wild west, as a photographer it would be a great shooting location...I note your use of the health drink, in Northern Ireland we have something similar known as Buckfast..maybe you could check if its available in the Outback...looking forward to next episode..many thanks and best wishes.

[@phillyandkeely]

😂😂😂 I've heard buckfast is great for guut health too 🤪🤪🤪

[@allisononeill5265]

Wow! That is crazy hot, kudos to you guys for making it through! It was fun to see Coober Pedy again, I was there 20 years ago but in winter so it wasn’t very hot, the nights were actually cold! Hope the weather cools down for you, can’t wait to see you make it to Uluru! ❤️

[@phillyandkeely]

I reckon in winter it would be a very different story weather wise. Yeah buzzing to share uluru with you all ❤️next week 🎉

[@MsAngelwithin]

watching you melt on the laptop whilst out of the window we have snow flurries,

[@phillyandkeely]

Oh wow, snow is so magical ❤️ enjoy every flake 🥰

[@MrStuross]

We love your videos each week and hope it has now cooled down a bit more for you to start really enjoying Aus. At the moment here in NI it’s a lovely 3c with snow forecast later in the week. We had a great holiday in Aus last year and you have given us the urge to go back and explore more. And by some weird coincidence I said hello to Philly’s Dad during the week as I had reason to be in your home town. ( a long story to how I made the connection 😜).

[@phillyandkeely]

We want to hear the story how you made the connection now 🤣 that's so cute that you met his dad, do you see a resemblance? Less hair 🤣

[@MrStuross]

Are you sitting comfortably !

[@phillyandkeely]

@@MrStuross yes 🥰 (well as comfortable as you can in this wee van ahah)

[@MrStuross]

We used to visit a great wee coffee shop in Glenarm ,run by a lovely lady called Samantha. Unfortunately she decided to close it just before Christmas. We didn’t get the chance to get a last visit before she closed but just before Christmas we ended up at IKEA having a coffee when Samantha and a friend walked past. We stopped by her table to wish her all the best for the future and ended up chatting to her and her friend who had driven up from Portadown/Lurgan to join her for coffee. Her friend ( sorry cannot remember name) was home from travelling Australia with her husband and young family in a motorhome. I then suggested she watch this great KZbin channel about 2 ejits who have built their own camper van (again) and are currently traveling in Aus. She thought a second and then said I know who you are talking about - Philly is the son of my Pastor at my church. 😜. Now wind forward to the new year and last week. Unfortunately I had a funeral to attend in Lurgan and guess which church it was at and who was the pastor taking the service. And now you know 😊.

[@MrStuross]

Ohhhh yess spotted the resemblance a mile away 😜🤣🤣

[@SammyB90]

Its really cool seeing parts of australia i havent even got to yet. Hope you're feeling recharged, cant wait to see rest of the trip ❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Sammy, glad to bring you along to see it from our perspective

[@user-Kenny631]

Makes my week viewing your adventures..btw snow forecast for n.ireland brrr😂🥶 take care P&K..

[@phillyandkeely]

Thankyou ❤️❤️ hope the snow lies for once!

[@billyharden9316]

Your in an oven guys . A corrugated roof acts as an oven.I feel your pain I’m sat here in minus 2 in Scotland.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤣🤣🤣🥶🥶

[@phillyandkeely]

I used to think I would choose the heat over minus anyday, but I had never experienced heat like this before, never thought I would miss UK weather 🤣🤣

[@notseamus]

Once again, you’ve left me speechless 😳

[@phillyandkeely]

😂😂 it's a skill we have haha

[@michelleh9685]

Wonderful video as usual guys. Keep safe & always take twice as much water than you think you'll need.

[@phillyandkeely]

We've realised we need three times as much 🤣 never drank so much in my life.
