Hot tip. On the end of the canister 💩 push the button while emptying it out. It lets air in.

Cheers John, thanks for sharing 👍

Yummo pork! Another great vid guys can’t wait to see the van 👏😄

😋 Thanks Tracey ❤️ 😊 🙏

[@corinnahill6017]

Hi Guys, I'm new to your channel and I'm loving your videos. Learning lots and thanks to Laura I've just started a puzzle lol. I live in Wonthaggi so not far from you guys so am really interested in seeing all the different locations in our region you guys get to for weekend trips. Looking forward to seeing where you guys end up next.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Oh, welcome aboard. Thanks for following along 🙏 . We certainly have some beautiful spots in sth Gippsland ❤️ 😍

[@SalsaShakers]

Brilliant stuff once again guys and CoCo looking sooooooo gawjuss! But at 13.34 is that tree a eucalyptus? TY for taking all the trouble to upload it for us all. :) Love from Scotland ♥♥♥

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers, mate 👍. Yeah, I'm not too sure in regards to the tree, sorry. thanks for tuning in 🙏

[@pieterscott792]

Love Spear Creek it's a great place the area you were camping in was the track down to the ranges when we use to shoot up there. It's great country and the pipes lead to a spring where they get their water from. Years ago they used pack horses to move fencing supplies up to the top of the ranges. Great to see the area again thanks for that. We must get up there again soon. Safe travels Cheers Pieter 👍

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers, Pieter, it's such a great area 👍. It definitely makes sense that they would've used horses back in the day 👌

[@Paul-pn1vc]

I am recovering from and operation which I had yesterday and feeling uncomfortable - what a great evening to spend watching your journey. Thank you. 🤪

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks Paul, hopefully you're having a speedy recovery 👍 🙏

[@frankguernier2280]

I am also sitting in a hospital in France. Recovering from a gall bladder emergency op 7 days in and maybe escape tomorrow. My new van is waiting for me in OZ. Thanks for the great video adventure.

[@travellingwithtwomoodles]

We just purchased the Pryml Kayak, the white snake 34lb motor, the air pump thanks to your recommendations 😃 just brought a battery this morning as well $500 later 😳🤣taking it out next weekend and hoping it’s as good as you say 😆

[@JourneyUnknown]

That's Awesome, lm sure you'll love it. Mmm the batteries are expensive 😲. Happy fishing 🎣 😊

[@katherineporter2654]

Great episode. That pork looked amazing. Look forward to seeing what you get up to in Bali. 😊

[@JourneyUnknown]

It was delicious 😋 😍 🙏

[@ervinslens]

Absolutely gorgeous presentation my friend!

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you for your kind comments 🙏

[@cheryl1766]

another great video guys..Laura i could feel your pain with that hike on a goat track with the bloody flies ..looks like a great place though. all the best for the future and look forward to your travels again..take care, love to Coco ❤

[@JourneyUnknown]

It was a tough but lovely walk. thanks for watching and supporting our channel 🙏 ❤️

[@mrandmrsmeier8685]

[@JourneyUnknown]

😂 it was absolutely delicious 😋 😍 👌

[@petergall2155]

G'day guys loved your trip. Red dirt on car and van, just wash as normal but add a cup of roughly 200mls of blue kerosene into the bucket with the carwash in it will make everything look new, rubber tyres, decals, plastic trimming around van even the dirt in the silicon around the windows and doors, also your awning top and underneath and just pressure wash it all off. Just do one side or end at a time you will amazed, Cheers Pete and Yvonne from Geelong, Go Pie's 🤣🤠🦘🇦🇺

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks for sharing Peter, that's great to know 👌

[@WarrenRorison-yb5ux]

Low n slow good fire habit troy There was 1 thing you forgot to pack 4ya walk Now I'm going to be in the shit not you # a small glad bag with a teaspoon of concrete # lol🤣 seriously good effort Laura, it's a lovely spot there we go in winter and it's cold but no locals to deal with, flys n mozzies. Safe travels

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers, Warren, 😆 🤣 . concrete is a bit heavy to take on a hike 😂

[@goeffburdon7351]

great video guy's when you get your new van will you be changing to a compost toilet and also we are 3/4 through to having our MUX fitted our cheers guy's see you on your next video😊

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks, Geoff. we're still considering the composting toilet. Nice one 👍 👌

[@marnibarratt8805]

hey guys I've missed you, just had total knee replacement, I have been hanging to get out of hospital to catch up your episodes!🤣missed Troy's one liners. regarding fly's, I don't care what it looks like I wear my fly net everywhere when they become relentless because those mongrels can literally spoil your fun.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Oh no, hopefully, you have a speedy recovery 🙏. that's nice to hear you had a bit of entertainment to watch 😀

[@RobynVoy]

Hi laura, your pork looks awesome. What cut of pork and how did you prepare it to cook in air fryer. Thanks Robyn

[@JourneyUnknown]

Hi Robyn, it was the loin cut, We pat the pork down with a paper towel, plenty of salt in the fridge for a few hrs, and straight in the airfryer for 45 minutes 🥰 👌

[@justindaffey8780]

A very good video Troy and Laura

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks so much, Justin 🙏

[@papa7745]

Laura it is safer to have 2 hands on the steering in the 10 and 2 position all the time. You are a legend to tow that big van and over time looks like you are more comfortable do it.

[@JourneyUnknown]

True, she is used to driving a manual

[@HilltopFarmHomestead]

If you add a tablespoon of sweet paprika to you stroganoff not only does it taste better, it gives it a gorgeous rich colour.

[@JourneyUnknown]

That's a brilliant idea, thank you 😊 😋

[@DonnaLee-wr2nn]

Hi guys we are new to your channel and loving all the information. We have a question, what breed is your beautiful puppies?❤

[@travellingwithtwomoodles]

They are Vizsla’s 😃

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you for following along 🙏. They're Hungarian Vislas 🐕 ❤️

[@ladysusanjane2682]

We didn’t have as great experience at Spear Creek but tbf we were exhausted travelling from Coober Pedy in one day and then 60km/hr winds🤦🏼‍♀️the door smashed into my knee from the wind and I fell off the steps. It was a disaster. We left early.I think we need to go back and experience it again!😂the walks were nice 😊

[@JourneyUnknown]

Oh no, that's not good 😔. Yes, hopefully, next time around, you have a bit better luck 🤞

[@andyk5473]

Another great video, that pork you cooked in the Airyfryier look perfect. Which size / model is yours. Cheers

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers, Andy. It was absolutely delicious 😋. it's the smallest Phillips air fryer

[@kerrylogan3953]

We enjoyed our stay at Talem Bend though they were still doing some work on it but they were very accomodating. We stayed there about 18 months ago. Is Coco good with all dogs? I’ve noticed you have her off lead when you can so does she have good recall? Just asking as we have a reactive Staffy and it has made our life difficult at times when we travel. Another great video and I look forward to see where your next adventure takes you guys. 😊

[@JourneyUnknown]

It is a beautiful area 😍. Yes, Coco has great recall and is totally fine around other dogs 🐕

[@daviddanne5259]

Hey guys, there’s nothing more annoying than having flies and/or mosquitoes, especially when you’re trying to relax around a campfire🔥. Troy, it looked like you had forgotten to have your Shiraz with your beef stroganoff, which looked great…… where’s mine??…..hahaha. Please don’t take offence to this…..I do understand that you need to have control of Coco, please try not to almost choke her because you’re in a rush to get to the bench seat and sit down. I’m thinking about going on a boat(mine) trip for a month or two, on the Mighty Murray, either putting in at Echuca or Tailem Bend, which do you recon? Again, thanks for uploading your videos, it’s great watching.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Hey David, 😆 l did forget 🍷 the food was too good to stop eating 😋. All good. She backs off. if you start running with her, she'll just run faster and do the same thing. Usually, we have her holti on which prevents any choking. l know right the flies were next level 😮. Both spots are pretty good, Tailem Bend is much quieter, ld say 👍

[@GregBrady-su1zw]

Try Dettol and baby oil to keep the flys away about a50/50 mix will you be exploring a bit more of the Flinders when you're back on the road ,where heading there in August so hoping flys wont be as bad, thanks for sharing

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks for sharing, we have heard that works quite well 👍. We'd love to explore more of the Flinders Ranges, although it's a little hard travelling with our dog.

[@erolmunur5879]

Thanks again we enjoy watching your videos. Just if I can ask one question not related to your videos, Troy can I please get a quick opinion on the 300 series, towing, reliability etc. Thanks.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks so much, Erol. l really enjoy driving the 300. it tows very well after the GVM upgrade 👌. beforehand, it was a bit dodgy. We get great fuel economy between 18/20Ltr. if we had to get another car, it would be the same 🍻

[@erolmunur5879]

Thanks I’m considering updating my 200 series, so I appreciate your comments. Thanks

[@deniseday4613]

@@erolmunur5879 You will love the 300, had our 18mths now towing a 3.5t Lotus Van, no problems, we also have a Pedders GVM upgrade to 4080t

[@scottspitty8283]

Great job guys. The adds were horrendous, have you upped them ?

[@JourneyUnknown]

Hey Scott, thanks for watching. nah, You tube determine the type of adds.

[@lorenzoscribani]

Noooo. Please don’t tell me you snapped the spaghetti in half! 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣 That’s a jailable offence in Italy 😈

[@JourneyUnknown]

😂 l did mention that to Laura 🤣

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Well I’d be sad it has ended but I know you’ll return with more content so all is well😊

[@JourneyUnknown]

Yes 💯 we'll be building content along the way 😍

[@That_Girl_7_11]

Hey guys are you in SA right now? I’m confused as I just watched your vid on getting the new van? I’m in Whyalla just down the road from where you are if you are in the flinders ranges.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Hi, nah, we're back in Victoria now, building our new van.

[@WilliamLudbey-jv9gh]

Another great episode with plenty of comments usual, very sorry i had to come back home early

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers KB 🍻

[@noeltregaskis6282]

Agree with Troy , worst sealed road I’ve ever driven on, the dirt was better. Apart from that great place , the lamb from the shop was amazing.

[@JourneyUnknown]

True 👍. the lamb looked amazing 😋

[@warrencoombes4258]

Question for Laura, how’s cooking with the induction cooktop, and are 2 elements enough?

[@JourneyUnknown]

Hi Warren, it's absolutely fine and heats up really quickly. Yep, 2 elements are perfect. We'll use the BBQ if we need more, very rarely.

[@Mick_4591]

Hey Laura Could could you tell me what the blue mat is that you had in the air fryer while you were doing the pork roast? What did you do to get the carckling like it was ?

[@JourneyUnknown]

Hey Mick, it's a silicone base that keeps the airfryer from getting dirty. (kmart). We pat the roast down with paper towel first, slice the top, and plenty of salt. At room temp straight in the airfryer for 45min 👌 🥰

[@johnpitt2742]

just the bull bar if it falls off get a new one at the next town

[@JourneyUnknown]

Great idea 😆

[@JoanWayne827]

Hi Laura!! I have done a search for the shirt you are wearing black with red logo. All I found yellow logo.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Are you referring to the JU t-shirt ?

[@JoanWayne827]

Yes the one you’re wearing in the latest video

[@leannechurches5227]

Airfryers do the best pork crackle😊 Thanyou for the vid

They certainly do 🥰

Breed not feed

[@JourneyUnknown]

👌

[@BoopedBetty]

Why did you need to belittle her while she reversed the van? You made her out to be less than what you are..patronising and shows who u really are.

[@cheryl1766]

is this your first episode? he wasn't belittling her reversing skills (Laura is as good as any male with that van ..many women are.) i took it to be about the positioning of the van as he said that it was exactly where he suggested to put it..its Troys humour and i think they are very well suited and you can tell he adores her.

[@JourneyUnknown]

🤣. l don't belittle anyone in life, let alone my fiance. We both have loving banter, and we'll both continue to do so 😍

[@JourneyUnknown]

💯 correct thanks, Cheryl 🙏
