Are you someone who doesn’t like to cook? Good news Adam and I are going to road-test five different canned foods for you to take on your next camping adventure. See what scores we give each can as we test them.
Where we stay and things we do in this episode:
• Eildon
•Lake Eildon
•Eildon Breeze Holiday Park
•The Eildon Dam
• Foggs Lookout
• can food for camping
• camping cooking tips
• camping cooking recipes
• slow cooked meals
Eildon as a township came about due to the construction of the Sugarloaf Reservoir. The township of Darlingford (which was located near the junction of Big River and the Goulburn River) was established in the 1860s, when gold was discovered nearby, however, when the construction of the reservoir commenced in 1915, which would ultimately flood the land behind the dam wall, including the township of Darlingford and Eildon Station (a run of 25,000 hectares). The town of Darlingford was moved closer to where the current township is now located. The Sugarloaf Dam was completed in 1929, and the original town of Darlingford is now completely underwater.
The Eildon Dam or Eildon Weir, a rock and earth-fill embankment dam with a controlled spillway across the Goulburn River, is located between the regional towns of Mansfield and Eildon within Lake Eildon National Park, in the Alpine region of Victoria, Australia.
Breeze Holiday Parks - Eildon
Located on the pristine Goulburn River, the lush natural setting and panoramic views of surrounding mountains will have you feeling completely at ease.There’s a variety of caravan, camping and cabin options available that are suited to families, couples and even large groups. For the avid fisherman who wants to wake up and chuck the lure out - there’s also a range of riverside sites available.
Foggs Lookout, also known as Mt Pinninger Lookout, is a stunning vantage point that resides in Lake Eildon National Park and looks over the Dam Wall and vast clear waters of Lake Eildon. From up here you can see everything that is happening on the water below including boating, fishing, water-skiing and if you're lucky you might spot a house boat or two out for the day. There are several seats and picnic tables for you to sit back and enjoy a bite to eat whist appreciating the stunning views of the area.
Lake Eildon is a scenic destination for avid fisherpeople, and some of the more common species of fish found in the lake include Redfin, Murray Cod, Carp, and Golden Perch. The lake benefits from the Snobs Creek Fish Hatchery Native Fish Stocking program, which in 2020 restocked the lake with more than 500,000 Murray Cod and more than 200,000 Golden Perch.
We hope you enjoy our channel. We often get asked, ‘what is vanlife?’ Van life is a lifestyle of living in a vehicle full or part-time. The names are compound words that derive from the fact that it is typically done in a van that has been modified with basic amenities, such as house batteries, solar panels, a bed platform, some form of toilet, sink, and storage space. Some van-dwellers live this lifestyle by choice while seeking freedom, self-sufficiency, and mobility without paying for conventional stationary housing, while for others it may be one step from living on the street or in a shelter. Although the term van-dwelling implies living in a van, many types of vehicles may be used for permanent, mobile living arrangements, including former public buses or school buses, campervans, recreational vehicles (RVs), travel trailers, mobile homes, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and cars.
We enjoy part-time van life, creating weekly episodes that are live at 5pm (AEST) Sundays, and sharing our experiences on our travels with our cavoodle, Twyla. In our episodes we stay at free and paid campsites, showing our tips and tricks on how to make life on the road easier and fun. Come join us on our adventures!
It’s great to see Australian tourism picking up with many people traveling around Australia in caravans, campervans, RVs, and camping in tents. If you enjoy traveling within Australia too, make sure you Like & Subscribe to our channel. Thanks for watching!

Well done. I haven't been to Eildon for many years. Then, the lake was so low that many of the houses of the original town were out of the water or others partially exposed. Well done as well as camping in the rain entertainment.

[@kingdeanoadventures]

Hey Kingdeano and Adam, almost forgot Twyla. Great video as always. My goto is spam because you can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nice to see you took the van off road and did not get bogged. Keep up the good work and see you in the next video.

[@rachelmorton4734]

You boys need a portable rotisserie game changer

[@kingdeanoadventures]

That would make some great meals!

[@wheretheroadtakesus523]

Great medical kit you have but I would definitely add a couple of snake bandages. Loved the episode as always and seeing beautiful Twylah 😍. Cheers guys from Sharon 🥂 oh and loved the can challenge 😀

[@kingdeanoadventures]

Thanks mate. We definitely had a lot of fun even they were stuck in a van with all that rain. It was nice to get out on the last day and check out the beautiful views

[@elainemcintyre4407]

Hello

[@kingdeanoadventures]

Hi Laura!

[@adventurewithdj]

we came across your video while we were about to put up our eildon video! we bumped into you both over the weekend as we were leaving ( you thought our gear on the roof wasn't secure!) funny enough it actually came undone on the way home and we almost lost our camping chair!! hahaha thanks again for looking out! - Jamie

[@kingdeanoadventures]

Hi guys, how are you going? Any exciting trips for you two? Deano

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

Spam does look like dog food. I don't mind the Harvest tin food for a lazy meal. They are good in jaffle maker. The toastie looked delicious. The St Johns first aide kit looks great. They come in handy. Their first aide courses are great aswell. You guys make me laugh with the can challenge. Eildon is a lovely town. The caravan park was pretty peaceful.

[@kingdeanoadventures]

Hi Michelle - oohhh thanks for the jaffle idea - I like spaghetti In jaffles, I may have to try the Harvest brand in one. Deano

[@undodgy]

Loved the canned food challenge! I do the occasional motorcycle tour and one issue with tins is the weight. Oh, and the other is taste :D I always have a stash of ready-to-eat meals, they are not as cheap as cans but taste really good. 'Go Native World' is my preferred brand, made in NZ, not dehydrated, last without refrigeration. Anyway thanks for another entertaining video!

[@kingdeanoadventures]

Hi Greg, yeah it was funny one as we don't eat many meals from a can.. if any. Your NZ brand sounds good, Ive seen a couple varieties in some outdoor stores, may need to keep some on hand. Deano

[@timheron1441]

Hi boys I enjoyed todays episode about Eildon. just 2 things I would like to share, 1st I needed to calm down my black Labrador Lily when she heard Twyla barking outside of the Eildon bakery and 2nd I hope your stomachs handled all of that canned food without any side affects

[@kingdeanoadventures]

HI Tim, glad to read you liked it! Adam only ate what I filmed and I had some of a couple for dinner - luckily no upset stomach afterwards! :) Deano

[@ianderbyshire2620]

👍 lake Eildon is massive & picturesque. Shame it was your wettest van trip to date. Interesting can challenge Twyla wasn’t impressed & Adam I love my Woodoku too

[@kingdeanoadventures]

Hi RVTH, it was a shame it was wet, but I guess having our own space to chill and relax in while the rain poured. I've only found Woodoku recently and are hooked - I just cant past 1,500 pts. What's your highest score on that? Adam

[@rvtravellinghusbands]

@@kingdeanoadventures the best I’ve managed this month is 1281 but my overall highest is a pretty good 1938. I think I discovered it about 3 months ago. Yes I’m hooked too 😀 Scott

[@kingdeanoadventures]

@@rvtravellinghusbands Ohh - I'll have to try to get close to that score! Adam
