Mini Lap of Australia Wrap Up, The Costs, The Km's & Everything In Between

We’ve driven over 7500km across a 28 day period to complete a mini lap of Australia - a road trip we believe every Aussie should experience in their lifetime! We started in South East Queensland and travelled through Outback New South Wales, through Outback South Australia and the Northern Territory and travelling to Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park! We conquered Kings Canyon, braved Alice Springs, drove the Barkley Highway, camped at a Ghost Town, found dinosaurs in Outback Queensland, soaked in the great artesian basin hot springs and so much more!
If you've every wondered, "how much does it cost to travel Australia," we have you covered!
In this episode we are sharing all the details, where we stayed, the kilometres we travelled, the total cost of fuel, our favourite experiences, the good, the bad and everything in between.

Remember when you first started. Certainly come along way since then. Really enjoyed following your travels both the good and the bad. Finished caravanning last year after 12yrs. Are now awaiting our MY2023 Jayco Conquesdt FA25.1 delive Feb 2024. Will be good to be back on the road again. Well K,P,J, keep safe.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

WOW thank you guys!! How super exciting to be getting the new set up 🙌👍💙 hopefully see you out there on the road soon 🇦🇺🕺🕺

[@user-gd8mi3wc8h]

Thank you. Enjoy this Great Land. After Service in Malaysia and Vietnam I really appreciate this great Land as you do in your Travels.

[@LandTourier]

Hey guys, great effort in compiling all of the travel data and the E-Book looks amazing. Your professionalism and attention to detail is second to none on this platform. It's been amazing watching your growth from your very first episode, and how comfortable and knowledgeable you have become. Sensational job by all of you. Cheers team, Brian and Deb

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

💙🙏🇦🇺🍻 thank you both so much xxx P,K&J

[@thesullivans217]

Katie, that thing/moment you shared with Paul when you were presenting this video is called “The Married Couple Mind-Meld”. Happens with my hubby all the time. I think it and he says it pretty much at the same time❤. Gotta love it when you’re on the same page

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

We love this! Now we have a different name for it other than Unargi! 😅💙🙏

[@iandibley8032]

Hi Paul & Katie totally agree we were totally blown away by Uluru , much better than we expected. We didn't fill at Curtain Springs too hot for us . Alice Springs, a few problems too.. Today, 170k outside Broome, a Kimberley cruise in a couple of days travel safe guys.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Wow! We love it there - have an amazing cruise and soak up every minute 💙🇦🇺🙏

[@robmcervale5801]

Thanks

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thank you 🙏 💙🇦🇺😎🕺

[@jimoctec]

I’ve enjoyed watching this particular journey showing people what’s possible when you have only a set number of weeks for travel. It is so much nicer being retired so that we rarely travel every day. We drag our old caravan about 400 kilometres maximum on one day, then park in a caravan park for a couple of days up to a week to explore that area whether on foot, by car or by tourist vehicle (bus, boat, train or ?). So much more relaxing for a couple of seniors. It took almost a month to get from Adelaide to Darwin for example. I’d be recommending shorter journeys if you’ve only got four weeks. Still, thanks for a terrific series.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

A very good point and thank you for your support 💙🙏🇦🇺

[@CharlesJHin]

I really enjoyed this series. It would be great if you could do some more, covering must do destinations all over Australia to do in about 3-4 weeks.

[@markhopkins9925]

Thanks guys , enjoyed the video and all the information to do the trip in 28 days. Its on the bucket list . Keep up the great work. Stay Safe. 👍👍🍻🍻

I've been watching your earlier stuff recently....getting through it!!

[@seandolkens4021]

We’re watching the download of the e-book bundle with anticipation. Going to try and replicate this trip in March to April next year but will take 8 to 10 weeks to do it with a side trip in the Flinders Ranges. Thanks very much! 🙏

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

That sounds brilliant 🇦🇺💙🙏 enjoy guys and let us know how you go with the ebook - safe travels x K,P&J

[@B0TH4]

Thank you!! You guys really make planning so much easier. Watch, load and travel 😀

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

So good! Thank you 🙏

[@garrydownward1896]

Hi guys . Well done on the 28 day adventure. I am interested staying at some hip camps on our next trip thanks for showing those campsites. I would like to have seen spending items on . Takeaway coffees. And all meals purchased. In the costing. Looking forward to seeing next trips . Happy travels

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thank you 🙏 such an amazing road trip and full of incredible experiences and people - generally meals/take away items on average are 30% increase in price to an east coast city. Hope that helps and safe travels 🇦🇺💙🍻🏕️

[@TinaWarn]

Wonderful episode! 🎉

[@jameshowie5419]

So excited to see what the highlights were! Definitely need to plan my own mini lap of Aus

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Do it James!! Where will you go first….?

[@murrayparker8536]

Another very informative video. I live in NZ and have explored parts ofq your country. Three weeks in a MH doing the Great Ocean Road and then this year Brisbane up to the Witsundays and then a couple of weeks at Hydeaway Bay. What a great country you guys live in. Keep up the good work. Look forward to your videos every Sunday. 😊😊

[@coversadventurecapers2838]

A great run down of a fantastic adventure. Awesome stats.

Thanks for this series guys-really enjoyed it!!! Wondering if the book would be still worth it coming from Perth?

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thank you so much! We think you’ll love the ebook but check out the 2 ebook bundle that includes the Travel Australia Guide (been our best seller for good reason!!) this may make more sense for you coming from WA, but honestly thank you either way we love your support 👍🙏🇦🇺🏕️🕺

The best!

Hi guys. Wifey wants to know what model Yeti is Katie using in the vid. Thanks and keep up the great work

[@PeterandRayleneWilson-nf4uk]

Hello to you both we so love listening to your you tube shows. 😊 You said you have been off grid for 12 months now which kept your costs of travelling down around how much solar do you have or by what other means to you collect power.

[@8888westy]

Hi guys on the 28 trip traveling with 2 dogs is there alternative camping other than national parks that you stayed at

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hi! Yea plenty, you can have dogs at Ayer’s Rock Resort RV park but can’t take into the NP. the only place we stayed that would be an issue was devils marbles but there is camping close by at Pub - just means camping outside of the NP reserve 👍🇦🇺💙🏕️

[@JayWilFo]

Thank you for another magical video. The Aussie govt should be using you for ambassadors, rather than lame the slogans they usually employ. Hypothetical situation though. You wake up in an alternate universe and you have a Prado instead of the 70series. So you’re limited to 3tonnes towing. On this trip, do you: a) Get a cramped off-road hybrid camper capable of free camping? Or… b) Get a full sized on-road van but limited to caravan parks?

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thank you 🙏 💙🇦🇺🕺 …. After much consideration…. A. Because you you’ll spend more time out of the van than in it!! Woohoo 🙌 enjoy 😉

[@craigdewit2502]

Hi Guys, enjoyed this series and purchased your Road Trip eBook Bundle. I am having trouble accessing it unfortunately, maybe I’m doing something wrong ? I’ve received your email confirming the order and when I hit download it says it downloading however cannot find it anywhere on my iPad. 🥴 I did send you an email asking for help however no reply. Any ideas please? Thanks in advance, Craig

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hello Craig! Thank you and sincere apologies. Katie will check the emails shortly and respond with a workaround 🙏😊💙 cheers 🥂 Paul

[@craigdewit2502]

@@TheFeelGoodFamily thank you, apology too in email I think I called Katie, Jess… sorry Katie. ☺️

[@louises6729]

I stayed their in a unpowered site for 4 days and it was 1999 it cost $50.00

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Wow! I bet that was up there in price in 1999 too 😅🏕️🙏💙🇦🇺

[@louises6729]

@@TheFeelGoodFamily very costly it was my honeymoon we drove up in a 1980 Toyota 4 wheel drive and nothing overrode the romance of the adventure and sheer beauty of the outback and NT. I walked around the rock and their were about three hotels their back then.

Some rules are absolutely ridiculous,taking photos at some locations is disrespectful,i don't get that,and as far as alcohol is concerned,it's a LEGAL drug,if LEGAL means nothing what's the point of laws existing.
