Wonderful first blog. Enjoyed a longer episode. If you’re still around the Yorke Peninsula, you catch the whiting with pippies or mussels! Look forward to the next instalment

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers, Warren, yep, stocked up on pippies 🎣

[@ironnatz6791]

Great episode guys, that schnitzel needed a bigger plate!

[@Karen_richwillo]

Great episode. Lots of great information and great shots of where you were. What a wonderful experience for you all to be able to go - three generations. Laura I loved how organised you are. Well done team 🙌

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you for watching and commenting ❤️ 😍 We are all very lucky to be able to experience all of these wonderful places together. extremely grateful 🙏 .

[@johnboyle4355]

Thanks for a fantastic video of SA, make sure you call into Port Vincent for a look see. We will be there from the 28th Jan for 3 weeks, hope to see around somewhere.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks, John, we'll see how we're travelling 👍

[@DesAmos-w8t]

Glad your enjoying SA so far. My home state.❤

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you for having us, it's a beautiful state ❤️ 😍

[@jerrytow4651]

I was there the Friday b4 you at lake Lonsdale and it was so hot. But that water was the absolute best we were down near the brake water just down from the boat ramp. Have fun guys

[@JourneyUnknown]

Ahh, nice one 👌 thanks for tuning in 🍻

[@Carpo74]

Awesome guys so stoked for

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you, Tracey 😊 ❤️

[@emilyhill1795]

Amazing 1st week! So many spots added to our list to visit ❤ and that chicken 🤤

[@JourneyUnknown]

That's awesome to hear 😀. mmm the chicken 👎

[@ulrikezachmann7596]

Beautiful places you visit. That boat is pretty good too. No stinky petrol engine. You don’t seem to have much luck fishing though. Here is a tip. Buy some fennel root and cook it up to a mush on low heat and then let it cool. Soak the fish bait in it. Fish love it and works a treat. Greek fishermen use this trick. Use high tide just as it is coming in for max effect. That is when the fish come in to feed and just at sun set.

[@JourneyUnknown]

That’s great to know. We have a new rod and fishing this weekend so I may have to locate some Fennell. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@sharonpalmer908]

Fantastic start to your lap, excellent content. Thank you for the stellar effort 👍👍

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you, Sharon, We're both very happy you enjoyed the episode 😀

[@lyndoncarter1528]

Thanks Lyndon 🍻

[@HelenVerri-r7p]

Fantastic episode. Your first week was epic💜

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you so much 😊

[@AdventuresWithAChow]

Safe travels and I hope that you enjoy your journey and Lap around Aus Troy and Laura (coco, Harrison and King Billy). Have been watching your videos for some time now and really enjoy your content and effort you put in. Love that you have showcased so many camp option throughout Victoria as many other KZbinrs don’t. You are both so real and genuine and I really value that in you all. Also from Vic on the Mornington Peninsula (support the locals) and watching your journey will hopefully inspire myself and my husband to do this at some stage, soon, hopefully. Waiting on the arrival of our New 18’8 caravan which should be complete by mid Feb 🎉 lots of Vic travels planned for this year. Thank you for sharing so many dog friendly camping locations also, we love traveling with our dog also and he loves coming along with us on our journeys. Keep up the amazing work, keep it real and Enjoy!! Looking forward to seeing all your travels and updates. Be Safe and have a Blast.. Owen & Lee 😊

[@JourneyUnknown]

Awww, thank you, Owen & Lee, that is very lovely to hear. good luck with your new van and safe travels for when you get out and about. 🙏

[@frankguernier2280]

I got out of bed at 3am to get a drink and couldn't help myself I watched the complete episode. Excellent. We have a new van on order and hope to follow your path. Thanks for all the tips.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Haha cheers Frank, hopefully you got some rest, mate. 👍

[@lisainkster5153]

Haha I’m the same…..don’t EVER open the app if you’re meant to be sleeping 😳🙃🤪

[@kymbatten6738]

Hi, In regard to your water leak, I had the same problem under my sink. I can't really tell from your video, but most caravan builders do not fit the locking circlips on the John Guest pipe fittings. As a result the vibrations from rough roads and corrugations cause the pipes to come loose from the fittings. I recommend you go to a caravan parts shop which sell these fittings and you purchase the circlips and fit them to every push fitting. It is a $10 fix which will save you losing water. Safe Travels

[@JourneyUnknown]

Ahhh, great idea. Thank you for sharing 🙏 😊

[@ianbailey4114]

Good one guys.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers lan 👍 🍻

[@rogerkaden4118]

Great episode we have never been to the York ,Hahndorf is always good the German mixed grill at the Inn is to die for,just a tip which I think you should do is fit those little red circlips to all your John guest plumbing fittings as they can come undone with vibration causing lots of drama,you can get them at any caravan shop.Cheers looking forward to the next one ,love watching coco enjoying herself.🐾🐾😃

[@martinvandenberg9112]

Good introduction of yourselves the other day. I have a better understanding of your life now. Good job

[@martinvandenberg9112]

Not in the right area sorry

[@JourneyUnknown]

Hi Roger, Thank you for some handy tips. They're on the shopping list 👌

[@JourneyUnknown]

Awesome video!

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@BeHereNow-fz6kc]

Awesome Video. We were 2 day's ahead of you at Wauraltee beach stayed 2 nights wind was horrible. On a calm day Wauraltee would be awesome. We also have a Great Aussie Xplora. For bait use squid, cockles, or raw prawn.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers, thanks for watching. did you happen to go to point Hughes?

[@BeHereNow-fz6kc]

No went to Moonta Bay@@JourneyUnknown

[@chrisb3939]

Well done guys...taking note of your free camps as we will be heading that way in 2025. This year we are going up to Cape York and back to Geelong via the coast. Will be away for 3-4 months. Luv your laid back approach...keep it up!! Tell King Billy to slip, slop, slap!!

[@JourneyUnknown]

That's awesome 👌. Cape York will be an amazing trip safe travels. 😀

[@lisainkster5153]

So bummed I couldn’t get to Lake Lonsdale…..our planets will align ONE day!!! Ripping episode…..and love Donna H’s chicken….winner here for sure!! Looking forward to ep2 Stay safe 🥰

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks Lisa, yes next time, I'm sure we'll pass through again. 😊

[@juttman04]

What an organiser you are! Safe travels!

[@JourneyUnknown]

😍 it keeps Troy on his toes 😄 🙏

[@gavcash3153]

Good luck on the trip. Much jealous but hopefully we can do it soon. Got all the gear but circumstances at home preventing us going ATM. You seriously like your toys Troy 😅😅 Looking forward to the future episodes

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks Gav, yes lm sure you'll get out when you can 🙏. Haha, yes, I love a good toy 😄 🎣

[@mickyg8633]

Great video guys entertaining as ever. We are going to give the chicken drumies a go 👍love the king salivating in the back ground 👍keep up the good work guys, this is going to be entertaining. Safe travels Mick & Jodie from the Gong 👍

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers 🍻. haha, the chicken was amazing 👏. Thanks for tuning in 😍

[@suziklucso1954]

Great episode guys. Great start. Hopefully we will catch you on the Rd somewhere. We’re leaving Melbourne on the 3rd April. Going up the centre doing the Oodnadatta track then upto Katherine and Kununurra to do the Gibb River Rd then onto Broome. P.S what was in the flour mix for the chicken drumsticks?

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you 😊. your trip sounds great, I'm sure you'll be counting down the days. It has corn flour and baking powder mixed together

[@katherineporter2654]

Loved the one hour episode. I have started a note on my phone of the places you stayed at in SA, would like to go back and see more than just driving straight to Port Lincoln and bypassing these beautiful spots. Travel safe.

[@JourneyUnknown]

That's awesome. Thanks for the feedback . it's great you're able to get a few good campsites to look forward to 😊

[@tim18118]

Great vid team! Diesel heater tank leaks must be in the air 😢. I’ll be replacing mine this weekend. Safe travels!

[@jeffgreaves1559]

Great vid guy's great to see king billy on your trip i think that's great

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers, Jeff, dad loves coming along 🍻

[@oldgold4u3971]

Such a great vlog as usual. Well done! Love the drone footage too, as it was very stable and engaging. What drone are you using?

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you so much 😊. we use the Dji Mavic 2s

[@jacqui131]

Awesome first week guys

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks Jacqui 😊 ❤️

[@DuitserSwart]

First time watching from south africa and so far enjoying it. Are those rhodesian ridgebacks? I notice later in the video they are not rhodesian ridgebacks. I have never seen those dogs, what breed is that

[@JourneyUnknown]

Wow, thanks for watching from South Africa 🇿🇦 🙏. Haha our dogs are Hungarian Visla's

[@DuitserSwart]

Thanks, they look like a lovely breed.@@JourneyUnknown

[@baumie4618]

New subscriber here! Just pretty much binged watch about 80% of your content. You guy's have a great style and come across as being REAL, which is refreshing on KZbin these days! Also loving the info on camps with dogs. Enjoy eh! 🍻 Hey also, what's the go with that water app, looks good....

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you for watching and subscribing 😍. the water flow meter hooks up to your outgoing water pump line. it counts the litres going out. it's called eflow and from memory around $200 fitted

[@jeffmathieu6267]

Love yr kids guys. Just needing more details. Such as that water dispenser, Was also a little shocked permit required, how did U guys know about this permit? Love it guys. Beautiful

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks Jeff, which water dispenser are you referring to? the Dometic container?

[@helenverrall2892]

Glad u fixed the water leak, was interested in the wet dry vac u were using. We have just got our new van and looking for things that have double uses. Would be interested in the details of product and if u would recommend.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Hi Helen, Thanks for tuning in. We actually purchased that vacuum from Aldi. You can also use it as a dust buster, which is great for the car as well

[@helenverrall2892]

Tried your chicken recipe tonight for hubby nd grandkids, went down well.😊

[@twocoddiwompletravellers]

Larry got a checker plate cover made up to go over our diesel heater container to protect it. It works really well. If you ever get back to Burners Beach a local told us the best time to catch squid was off the rocks just on dark.......the only spot there that Larry caught a squid.

[@JourneyUnknown]

That's a great idea thank you for sharing 😊 🙏

[@tripppinvanz]

Love it 😍 so excited to see your adventures- we plan to start in 2025 so will be watching closely! Which apps do you use to book campsites?

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks guys that's great to hear.l bet you can't wait. We generally use Camps Australia 👌

[@marnibarratt8805]

LOVIN KING BILLYS CHOPPER MOUSTACHE! 😂 😂

[@JourneyUnknown]

😄 he's had that for as long as l can remember 👌

[@meandering_wombat]

Enjoy your adventure 🥂 Enjoy your channel, great work. Crispy chicken looks amazing. Tell me you didn’t leave the opened UHT milk in the cupboard 🤢😂

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you 😊. 😄 nah the milk went back in the fridge

[@meandering_wombat]

Haha phew!

[@ChrisandJune]

Thanks for the in-depth adventure. Looking forward to you becoming part of our life for the forth coming months as you circumnavigate OZ. One idea to help orientate your new “fans”. The WikiCamps posting is great but could we have Google route planner or wiki planner so we work out where the hell you are and how you got there. Apologies if this is already planned to appear on the mid week updates. 😉

[@JourneyUnknown]

Cheers, Chris. we'll update our travels through our mid week episodes when we can get them out. 😀 👍

[@frankguernier2280]

Those click on fitings are bad, My friends three weeks ago flooded their 12 month old A van with a fitting pop of the pump outlet. The water welled up under the bed and shorted out the Projector and fused everything.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Bugger that would've been very annoying

[@rachelash7299]

😂"if you use chicken drumsticks you're a Muppet". Lost count of how many fish we catch on chicken... Maybe it's in the technique 😆

[@JourneyUnknown]

Haha, perhaps it's the fishermen 🤔

[@GoneOutExploring]

Wahoo first week video done and dusted - pity about the wind. 🎉

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks guys 😍

[@gstowe8021]

Where can i buy a King Billy hat from 🤔

[@JourneyUnknown]

Haha. we got him an Akubra for Xmas. he generally forgets to wear it

[@papa7745]

You have changed your BBQ?

[@JourneyUnknown]

Nah, that was on dad's camper trailer. we still have the same BBQ

[@TheDudeminator]

Keeping your distance from the drone...😉

[@JourneyUnknown]

Haha 😂. once bitten twice shy 🤭

[@jamesnicolson7420]

Just a bit of feedback. I love watching travel bloggers But anything over 25 30 minutes I tend not to watch. As it is to much of a time commitment. Thanks

[@OzTravellers]

Watch it in two parts.

[@suekeane]

Agreed and too much drone uggggg

[@jacqui131]

Well I'm loving the long vlog!

[@joannekondraciuk2411]

Too long ads!!!!

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks, James. If we cut the video in half, we'll end up months behind rather than in real time. which we think is more relevant, viewing. We also have many followers asking for longer episodes. cheers for your input 👍

[@liamwindsor5854]

That battery set up on the boat has to be one of the worst I’ve seen. Sorry. You have 18v batteries on a 12v motor

[@JourneyUnknown]

Don't be Sorry Liam it works perfectly 👌 😉

[@liamwindsor5854]

@@JourneyUnknown won’t be good for it long term
