Another lovely episode. We live in Lake Macquarie and the Wollombi, Broke and Denman area is one of our regular motorcycle routes. We were in Denman for lunch in the little main street just this past week. Heading past there in the van this coming week en route west. Almost too close to home for us 😂😂

I recon pub stays are great they cook for you have a beer then free out back , if you pay at the caravan park and there not cheap you'll end up at the pub anyway
@beyondthegreyoz5 ай бұрын
Exactly! We would've spent the money there anyway and there is a different feel when you staying out the back as opposed to just turning up to the pub 👍

Very informative and helpful video. Using wiki camps is good, but to actually SEE the places and have your commentary ( and shots of the food on the menu at the different places) helps visualise if it would work for me. Definitely going to check out Burning Mountain and Wollombi Tavern for a meal and some Dr Jurds.

Thank you Lynda 😊We get the photos on line from www.wondermade.com.au/ You can upload pics and quotes on to the decals and get them posted. They just stick to the walls and are very easy to remove.

Loving your videos. I'm about to set out on the road for the first time ever... I have no idea how the free camps, bush camps, pub camps, etc work. Is there a limit as to how long you can stay? I'd like to go to a town, plonk down, setup, have dinner at the local, visit the town and locales, have dinner at home, leave in a day or three ... is that possible? You never mention if there's a limit, and you only seem to stay someplace overnight. For me that's a tad too fast paced.
@beyondthegreyoz5 ай бұрын
That’s great to hear about your plans to travel! We love this lifestyle. A lot of free camps have a limit of 72 hours some are just overnight and others don’t state a time limit. We have a preference for free camps that are close to town but they are the ones that will have a time limit. Wiki camps is a great app for finding out information on what is available. We are on a free camping journey right now and will include that sort of information, and hopefully answer some of your questions in the next video. Cheers Paul and Wenda

I have just stumbled across your channel and loving it. But I have to ask, and forgive me if this has been done to death before, but why don't you guys use a dc to dc charger to charge your van's battery from the cars alternator while driving between stops? A thousand dollars well spent to be able to arrive at your next camp fully charged. I get it that most nights you can charge from powered sites it seems to me it would eliminate the uncertainty of having enough grunt in your battery when you consider free xamping.

Hi, you mention you struggle to get your batteries charged in bad weather, why not look at getting a dc2dc charger and run an anderson plug from you car and while your driving it will charge via the alternator.

Thanks for the tip we’ll have a look in to that 👍. But the problem could be that we only travel short distances often under an hour. Cheers Paul and Wenda
