New Backpacking Adventures - England to Australia

After a 4-week break in England from my last backpacking adventures, I’m back on the road! This time, I’ve journeyed to Australia for a unique experience: house sitting for a friend near Cairns. Located about 2 hours from the city, his home is surrounded by vast land, offering plenty of space and tranquility. Join me as I dive into the tasks and adventures that await during my stay in this beautiful part of Queensland.

Wow stu thats going to be a big 6 weeks stay in cairns

[@nealeinNZ]

Nice set up Stu. It will be a steep learning curve for you, but should be rewarding.

[@olderbackpacker]

Absolutely :)

[@tristanmorris7137]

What a project! Then amazing adventure!

[@olderbackpacker]

Definitely!

[@michellekinch3543]

Excited to watch it unfold.

[@olderbackpacker]

It’s going to be a busy few weeks, if it stops raining! :/

[@crombelsla9800]

[@olderbackpacker]

Totally agree :)

[@tomhebdon3528]

The channel is growing! Good work Stu.

[@olderbackpacker]

Welcome back Stu,watch out for the Redbacks,Brown Snakes,and any other venomous critters lurking in the bush.

[@olderbackpacker]

Hoping that there’ll be no critters on my watch lol

[@olderbackpacker]

Thank you :)

Hello Stu.... Welcome to Australia and good to hear from you. I may have missed a video or two, but last video I saw, you had just landed in China. Will be keenly looking at your new adventure(s), especially Manila and the Philippines. Cheers from Keith in Adelaide

[@olderbackpacker]

That was the last video I actually did. I’ve had a months break in England without KZbin, so I’m slowly getting back into filming again :)

Great to see a fellow lad from Darlo traveling the world. I left Darlo 25 years ago, and moved to Chicago. I have been traveling on and off for the past 20 years around the world. I am heading back to the UK next week to visit family in Darlo, for 10 days, and then it’s off to Oman for 3 weeks before heading back to the US. 👍. Looking forward to see how you get on in Auss mate !

[@olderbackpacker]

Chicago is definitely different from Darlington. Although I love travelling, I always head back to Darlington . Hope you enjoy your trip back :)

Good to have you back Stu, I'm just starting the new series now, and got to the end of this one. Yes you have a task and a half on your hands there, but looking forward to updates. Also really looking forward to the epic backpacking journey you are hoping to be making. Take it easy bro.

[@olderbackpacker]

Thank you

[@abritabroadinthephilippines]

Welcome back stu it's nice to have you back. However hope you don't mind me saying this but your friend is taking advantage of you 100% you're doing him the favour by looking after the house that's enough. Tell him to get a contractor in to do all that work man. Not good at all.

[@olderbackpacker]

All is good. The guy is actually one of my best mates and I knew 6 weeks would be a bit boring if I had nothing to do, as I asked him for any big jobs that he would want me to do! Originally he gave me stuff that would have taken me a couple of hours to do. I’m not one for sitting down and being bored lol

[@russellscott1064]

Wow. Great to see you again Stuart

[@olderbackpacker]

Thanks. It’s good to be back on the road again :)

[@ivanamcmullin-8548]

Hi Stu! I am so happy you are in Australia. I had no chance to watch your videos in Florida and now I will be home soon and to my big screen. Looks like a lot of work will be interesting to see how you will progress. Nice to see you again! 👍🤩

[@olderbackpacker]

I hope it’s not too hot in Florida and you’re looking after yourself?

[@ivanamcmullin-8548]

It was very hot in South Florida this year this early. I am back to Toronto but in Naples, Fl is 33C feels like 40C. Still I miss it. It is so subtropical lush landscaping and really amazing shops. 😂 There are so many places to enjoy but with this intense heat we only did limited activities.

[@jogon1052]

Great Stu you have made it down here. There is so much to see in this country and it will take you a long time to see it all.

[@olderbackpacker]

You’re right, I’ve been to Australia a few times over the last 10 years and seen so much from Darwin to Perth on the west and the majority of the east side, not forgetting Alice Springs. Unfortunately I’m only in Queensland this time but I’m hoping to do another trip to see more :)
