Happy birthday to your little girl and Mate I really appreciate your vids of my country and a huge thank you for making me understand that I live in a beautiful country and don't take it for granted.. you have a beautiful family Mate

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying them! Australia is a beautiful place! We love it! Thank you, i could not ask for a better family!

[@RichardBroad-rb8dn]

Great to see you getting a perfect day at Rainbow and D I P. What a way to celebrate your amazing daughter's 4th birthday.. I'm worn out from just watching the sandhill surfing. Big props to the 4WD crew for getting you out to the point. Makes an old Aussie's heart swell knowing there's still a lot of good in this beautiful land.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

It was such an amazing time there! The hills were a lot but they were fun! Definitely big props to the amazing new friends that took us in there truck!

[@RefurbIshment-z7l]

Well done to the Aussies who gave you the 4wd trip. You could probably find plenty of other offers if you put the word out in advance. 4wd would be awesome for West Australia. Camping along the way. But yeh even 2wd takes you to so many beautiful beaches. Enjoy 🇦🇺

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yes it was nice they did that for us! So many nice Australian’s!

[@iambenadam]

I was having a really shit day, now I've got the biggest smile on my face 😊 good on ya guys, absolutely beautiful ❤

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Glad we could turn the day around for you! Hope you have good rest of your day! Thank you for the support!

[@markeaston7353]

I love the way you guys always respectfully acknowledge the indigenous traditional custodians of the lands that you visit. I've not seen it done before on travel blogs and you guys should be proud.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Glad you like it and thank you for noticiing!

[@SimonEnglish-ec2fo]

Happy birthday Ariah, and hi guys, you’re having the best holiday ever. Glad to see you enjoying Australia. 😊♥️

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! We really are! Its been amazing!

[@michaelmcclown5593]

You guys are living your best lives, thoroughly enjoying the series.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying!

[@djlow2398]

When there is swell, Double Island Point (referred to as 'dee eye' by Sunny Coast surfers) is perhaps the longest ride in Oz. There's a few youtube clips online of it breaking. Lots of 4wds and surfers there when it's on. Glad to see you got to Carlo sandblow. Lots of people go to Rainbow and miss that.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Dang i just saw that! i wish it was like that when we were there!

[@djlow2398]

If you like riding sand dunes, check out Moreton Island. Some crazy big dunes. Need 4wd for around the island, but you can take a boat just to Tangalooma, and maybe feed the dolphins.

[@sa2591-p5d]

Double island point…. Top spot.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yes it is!

[@Realitycheck-w5c]

Another great video! Happy Birthday Ariya! And most Aussies still say Merry Christmas - hope you all have a great New Year.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you for everything. Hope you have a great New Year also!

[@BowieZ]

Yeah, "Happy Christmas" is more common in the UK than it is in Australia. However, I do think "Merry Christmas" sounds very 'formal' -- it's like the 'official slogan' of Christmas -- and Aussies don't like sounding too official or formal! And the phrase also feels very 'wintery', it evokes feelings of the snow and a warm fireplace (which we see all the time in movies and TV shows), which doesn't fit the vibes of our summer Christmas! So that may be why you don't hear the phrase as often as in America. But that's just my own theory! :P

[@karekerry4362]

Another great vlog! Gorgeous Queensland coastal town and beaches.The Fish & Chips looked Delicious 😍.Happy 4 th Birthday Ariah🎈🎂😊. Happy Travels 🌟❤️

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! We loved Rainbow Beach! The food was amazing! Thank you for the birthday wishes!

[@XU1-c2f]

Happy Birthday to the big girl, she is a lucky young lady living the dream. All the best to your family for the New Year Wickman family. Love from NSW🎂

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! Thats really nice! Thank you for the support!

[@michaelmcclown5593]

I'm thinking Queensland Tourism should use you guys great content.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! If some one knows someone in that industry please get them in contact with us!

[@stevemurrell6167]

Great times.....and a stunning part of the country. The food looked great too!

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

It really has been amazing! We loved Rainbow Beach! Food was amazing!

[@gezzac100]

I'm from the west coast, but I must admit the Qld coast around there is very nice, and K'gari is adventure not to miss.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

It really is a special place!

[@elvisstar5813]

Beautiful places.. Beautiful birthday 👍

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! It was an awesome stop!

[@70chevs]

This east coast trip has been epic, for the most part the weather has been perfect and the scenery stunning. So nice of those guys to take you 4 wheeling. You'll have to put the west coast on your bucket list.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

It really has been and the weather could not be any better!

[@robe461]

35 bones....love it! I'll use it if I may...please apply plenty of sun screen cream...our sun is nasty...❤

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Use it! We like to use a clear zinc. Doesn't wash away as easy and its not as obnoxious as white zinc!

[@wmvaux]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you as well!

[@julesmarwell8023]

[@wayneanderson419]

Hey guys loving your trip you are doing it right. You can ferry over and stay at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island you don't need a 4wd as you passenger ferry over. they do a 4wd exploration tour of the main southern island sights such as Lake Mackenzie and Eli Creek. Enjoy!!

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Hey! Dang i wish we would of done that! That would of been really cool!

[@wayneanderson419]

@TheWickmansLife2024 all good. Let me know where you are headed in the near future and I can drop some suggestions for you. Safe travels and go Niners!

[@DarylStewart-r3i]

I really have enjoyed watching your travels in our wonderful country and you sound like such a lovely family , We live a few K's out of Miriam Vale and i see you guys were here not too long ago but from my own personal experience i don't think you should leave our country without visiting Ilfracombe Longreach and generally the central west of our wonderful state of Queensland but be prepared for the heat and more importantly the flies

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! We plan on checking out a lot more places!

[@matallens3006]

French fries here in Australia are called chips, fish n chips😊👍 great video , lovely family enjoy our beautiful country, please take rubbish and put in the bins we like to keep our beaches and country clean awesome guys take care on your adventures

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! We always make sure we clean our trash up! Thank you for watching, and glad you enjoyed!

[@matallens3006]

@TheWickmansLife2024 I wasn't directed towards you at all 😊👋 love your videos , I was just talking generally if people from other countries watch and want to come over to Australia 🦘. I think Australia in general we like to keep our country clean and our Forrest's and beaches too. It makes it a more pleasant experience for all if there's no rubbish on the beaches etc. we even have clean up Australia day which is local volunteers to clean up around our beaches, city's, and rural towns. Take care and keep making these great videos of your experiences in Australia hitting the road in a travelling holiday. Which is better you see and experience so much more than you would if you just stay in the capital city's and don't experience the people, culture, history , beauty of the place in general. Or I might be a bit biest being a resident of Australia.👋😊🦘

[@uterogers1]

Another awesome video. Really enjoying your channel. Love the feel good vibes 😁👍

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying! Just trying to bring good times and good vibes!

[@Final_Cut_FF]

Wow, that last part was Epic.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you it really was awesome! One of our favorite parts!

[@davidjohnpaul333]

I have never heard of Rainbow Beach. It is a beautiful spot; I need to plan a trip up north soon. I used to go fishing weekly, Whiting was always amongst my catch. I hope your daughter enjoyed her aussie birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Rainbow Beach is awesome! Definitely go check it out! Whiting is our favorite! She really did thank you!

[@gregoryjohn4]

Love your adventures! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you for the support! Means a lot!

[@noway5347]

Lovely vid.....ah yes..whiting..what is better...yum...😂..dunes..water..sunshine..livin the dream good family!😊

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! Whiting is the best! This place was so much fun!

[@glenod]

small point of difference, not a complaint, a technicality if you will.... anything here in aus in a burger bun, we refer to it as a burger, not a sandwich. a sandwich, is anything in 2 slices of bread, including a toastie ( toasted sandwich ) a steak sanga ( you need to try one of those with the lot from a fish and chick shop :) ).. etc.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Ok gotcha! We will remember that!

[@michaelmayo9048]

Sand hills are fun especially when your young full of energy.sometimes they can feel like a desert if the sea breeze doesn't get in on a hot day. Nice sand surfing guys .l built a sand car around my son when he was 4 the photos of him in his sand car are cool .

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

They really are fun, and can definitely feel like a desert. Thats really cool about the car would love to see that!

[@robertschulz7454]

Long time no hear, I was sure Bigfoot [Yowie] had finally caught up with you guys. Happy Birth Ariah

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yeah the holidays got the best of us! We are still here lol

[@colinpryor6590]

Glad my state is turning the weather on for your trip. I'm heading up there on Tuesday for a couple of days. Getting a break from Brissy. Thanks again for your fantastic videos.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Its been beautiful out! Its a beautiful spot! Enjoy your trip! Thank you for watching and the support!

[@Blissbomb2]

Did you check out the waves at Double Island Point, usually it's pretty good.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

We didn't unfortunately but you know Dad wanted too! Hopefully one day we can come back to our favorite spots and dive deeper!

[@john6986]

Wow!!! Absolutely beautiful spot!

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

It really is!

[@livertic]

Great vid once again, ps we do say Merry Christmas over her.. Enjoy our beautiful country

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you! And okay cool. Good to know!

[@ChristopherJewels]

They still have K Mart in Australia for very cheap clothing and footwear. And other stuff too at half the price of other stores.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Ok cool we will keep that in mind! These kids are barefoot bandits even if we put shoes on them, they some how come off lol

[@CarlosAlfredoChavarriaSorto]

Stunning place 🎉

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

It really is!

[@aussiefarmer6012]

Enjoying following your travels, thanks for taking the time to produce your content. Please make sure your children are wearing hats. Our Australian sun is very strong and we have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. The worst sun damage we receive is when we are children. By the time I was in my 20s I was getting cancers burnt off me. Have fun and wishing you safe travels.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed! We try to put hats on the kids, they just don't stay on very long so we tend to use a clear zinc! Works great for blocking the sun and its a more natural option!

[@lynnmoses3563]

Your babies could do with some hats in the Queensland sun guys, even if they wont keep them on!....Happy birthday, Aria! 🎉🎈🧁🎂☺Stunning place guys!.A Very Happy 2025 to you all!It looks as tho Aria is a Capricorn...No wonder she likes climbing!

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yeah they have hats they just wont keep them on. Trust us we try! Its a battle we aren't winning but we use clear zinc! Very good protector agains the sun and its good natural option! Clear is better because its not as obnoxious at the white!

[@DaveOz-mx5oh]

Sandwich=🥪, Burger=🍔

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Ok cool!

[@tironibusmaximus6100]

how many more signs do you guys need to say this is where you're meant to be. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

No more! lol

[@shanearmstrong9400]

Chips chips please get the lingo 😊

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Sorry Sorry!

[@ChristopherJewels]

Avoid Eudlo Rocks at high tide. Best crossed at low tide. I have seen many a gungho 4x4 come to grief trying to force their way through at mid tide.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Ok cool we will avoid high tide! Thank you for the heads up!

[@vsboy2577]

Meanwhile I m stuck in a small town with nothing much to do.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Sorry to hear that! Get out if you can!

[@michaelmayo9048]

So confusing go to maccas ask for fries next day l go to hungry jacks ask for fries but they call them chips sometimes you forget which drive threw your in ...but no matter if you say fries or chips you still you get the same thing. 🇦🇺🇺🇸
