Hey Legends! Do you enjoy seeing us travel with other people? Would you like to see more of it? Would you like to see other travellers set ups? Let us know by replying here! 😁👍🏻

[@rockotravelsoz3770]

I enjoy seeing your travel whether it’s alone or with others, always good!

[@brentmcd12]

yep it works

Yeah love seeing you with others the family vibe is fun. Frustrated toddlers are fun….

[@tashh3222]

I enjoy both! Would absolutely love to see more with others! We dont have many friends to travel & 4WD with so would be nice to see & know if others make friends on the road to travel & 4WD with! Also love to see the reality of travelling with kids & not what everyone posts on socials! Would also love your nachos recipe

yes love seeing travle with other familes

[@Dennis-zr3fb]

Mate in my opinion it doesn't matter what content you produce or who is with you, all that matters is you dont change your style or down to earth ridgy dig Aussie family no bull--- way of doing things. And I had to pause the video to read it, supporting people like you is easy.

[@BigOzExplorers]

Nawww thanks Dennis! That’s what we try and stand by too. We don’t want to change as things grow, but be us and continue to do so as it seems to work. 😁👏🏻

[@williamdavis9253]

Great episode Guys. The reality of travelling with kid's. It's great to see your honesty of what you have to deal with daily. Well done. When they are older they will remember the bond you have formed with them . That is priceless. It's good to see you travelling with friends as well but I don't think you have to change your format.😊👍❤

[@BigOzExplorers]

Thanks William. I don’t think we’d change the format but if people didn’t enjoy it we could stop including it also. Just nice for the feedback sometimes. ☺️ Cheers!

[@frankgatt]

I don't think you need to change at all as your content is always excellent and enjoyable to watch. As meeting people is one of the most enjoyable pleasures on the road it could be good to include these experiences as well from time to time. You keep it so real, love it.

Coming from you Frank, who I know has followed us for such a long time, it means a lot! Thank you 🥰

Local Perthite here. Sandy Cape is one of the first few legal beach side designated camping areas north of Perth, so it’s popular for Perth people and travellers. 🤙

[@karenfrench4094]

Loved this episode. WHY? Because you guys keep it real. I can't imagine what travelling with a young family is like, but as a Nanna now, I remember my kids very well, at the same age. Your camp spot was just superb. The moment the sealion came to play with the children, I laughed and felt as excited as they did. What a moment!! 💜💜 Keep being you, that's why you're all loved by so many. Travelling with others? Doesn't matter. As long as you're the stars of your own show, it doesn't matter. 🥰🥰🥰 PS Jack's tantrums brought back memories. Thank goodness I'm past that now. Grandkids, I can pass them back. Enjoy xxoxoxo

[@peterbougoure5356]

Travelling with other people adds to the dynamic of the group as a whole. It also gives you, as adults, interaction with other like minded individuals, and if they have kids of similar ages as yours, it keeps them socialised.

[@trentsadventures5284]

Hey guys great epp the thing I love about your channel is that you keep it honest, my family loves watching every week, seeing you guys traveling with other families is great keep doing it please? Also some more of Chris fishing would be good also

[@BigOzExplorers]

I’m not really sure when the fishing thing is going to happen, he’s been trying to be a fisherman since the start and still failing LOL. I think he’s more of a beer taster or pub reviewer 🤣🤣

It will get better guys. Traveling with little kids is a challenge. However I can tell you. You will miss them when they are older. Awesome episode 👌

Awh the joys of toddlers and tantrums. Our youngest was the champion of tantrums. I used to dread staying in caravan parks with him. He is 13 now and the tantrums are a distant memory and something we can laugh about now . At the time he brought me to tears several times. Love watching your travels and it's cool to see you catch up with others but we also enjoy just watching your adventures. Do what works for you and what feels right for you and yours xx

[@BigOzExplorers]

We feel the same with Jack, his scream is so loud he leaves our ears ringing! I ALWAYS leave aircon on in van parks so the closed windows contain the sound a bit 😂😂 will definitely be a good story for his 18th 🤪 Thanks for tuning in guys 👍🏻

It’s so nice to be able to spend time with people from home! I don’t feel homesick until I know I’m going to see or experience something from home. We were able to reminisce about home days and fill the bucket which is special 🥰 I can imagine it would be quite cold over there, the last time I was in England was my 17th birthday and it didn’t snow our whole trip except my birthday! 🎉 take care guys and talk soon. ☺️

[@TheNomze]

Just some parenting advice lol because I'm sure you don't get enough (yeah right) 😉🤣but when your kids say a word not correctly although it's dam cuteness overload you shouldn't then say it like them you should repeat the word to them the correct way. Referring to a item with the word they use for it only reinforces them to use the wrong words. Just what I learnt from my toddler doing speech therapy. Your lucky you jagged a calm day to put that shade device up lol I reckon it wouldn't last 5seconds if the wind was how it normally is at sandy Cape. Love you videos though so much more real than the other popular Instagram style family that caravans.

[@BigOzExplorers]

Totally agree and generally speaking we do say the correct way. He has three or four words which sound Russian and we do play on them a bit but not enough to destroy his whole vocabulary… ☺️☺️ no offence am taken at all either, totally all good 😁 and agree, we totally jagged a good day that day!

Hi guys love your videos... travelling with a young family can be hard at times but so rewarding as they are getting to do so much that most kids only dream about... when my kids were around 2 they all gave their dummies to the dummy fairy... their choice... but they got rewarded with a really nice or cool toy... . They cracked it for one day or 2 but then forgot about it... worth a try xxx good luck 👍

More video of you all after dinner around the campfire talking shite would be a lot of fun. Also doing the touristy stuff together. Not every video but every now and then would be good.

We suffered the same with my 2nd daughter about the dummy but she is easygoing. We decided not to give her one day and she totally forgot about it and never asked.

Some will not agree 100%, some will agree with most, the majority might agree with all, but sadly, a small few will just be dicks and complain for the sake of complaining… personally I think these people are just trying to tear others down because their life is missing joy so they want everyone to be in the same boat. Don’t dislike them, pity them, maybe even try to empathize with them. But above all, keep being yourselves… love you videos, keep up the good work…. OS - nearly caught up with all the videos, getting close…. 👍👍👍👍

[@BigOzExplorers]

Totally on the same page and agree Gary! We don't worry too much about them but I think its good to share when everything isn't sunshine and lollypops. Most KZbinrs don't talk about the other side and it's better to be out than in they say 😁 You're getting close now! We will see you very soon at the latest episode. 🥰

[@mikepearson2367]

Stupidly busy because our tyrant premier won’t let us in or out. Love the episode hope your enjoying the state.

[@BigOzExplorers]

It's been a strange couple of years hasn't it!! I'll be glad when it all starts to go back to normal again 🙌🏼

What type is your drone, please? Regards Bill

[@BigOzExplorers]

We have a DJI Air 2S with the Fly More pack. Its a great little set up!

@@BigOzExplorers thank you I just saw your episode where you showed all your equipment. Great to know and I am loving your adventures!

[@danrichards2998]

How about using what3words to show exactly where you are ? Just an idea

[@BigOzExplorers]

Hey Dan, I had never heard of that website before, just checked it out. That's a pretty cool idea though! 👏🏼

[@japes1983]

With or without others is great. We really enjoyed Annie & Paul’s authenticity but could never find their Insta. Just not Martene please 🤭

[@BigOzExplorers]

Ohhhh we miss Paul and Annie, we spent so many months with them and got along so well!! They are now settled in QLD... They're instagram is @legendary_adventures_ 🥰

Havent watched you yet (this episode) saving you till later tonight..but bet you are glad you arent in Onslow at the Moment ....50.2 C and getting hotter Damn thats warm ....-20c here pool frozen solid hahaha...you're living the dream guys xx

[@BigOzExplorers]

Hey Rob, that’s crazy about Onslow! The only time we dealt with temperatures like that was in the centre of Queensland around Julia Creek and it was SO hot! The aircon in the caravan couldn’t keep up, I don’t miss that! Sending lots of cool vibes your way 🧊 ❄️ ⛄️

[@Ducksouttheredoinit]

Wow! 😯 that was intense. This is what we like about you guys. You wear your hearts on your sleeves. Traveling, at the best of times has its challenges, throw in two kids and then obligations to produce for others (not traveling with you) 😮‍💨 It must get on top of you at times. THEN! Point a camera in your face and you are expected to paste on the smile and show the world how fantastic your life is?! We appreciate all the effort guys ❤️ As for the 0.01% ? They can f#¥k off!! Line them up in front of your “web fam” and give us a go at them!!! (We paused 😉) Anyway…… Travelling with friends? If it make you happy and keeps your sanity, go for it! It does make things a bit more interesting for us viewing but obviously is a mixed bag for you. How lucky were you with the bolts??!!! 🍀 faaaaarrrrkk!!! 😳 Love your content. Love you guys. Please keep it up but be happy to do it 😳👍😉😎🦆

[@BigOzExplorers]

Yep Duck you nailed it! Everything you said is 100% accurate… we do love it though. We say things more because we want to remind others hitting the road that that there are realities when travelling. There aren’t many other channels that show the negatives and I think it’s important to show they are still there for those about to embark on a rainbows and butterflies road trip! Cheers for the support again! I saw your notification on Instagram come through the other day and I had to explain to Chris who you were. I saw the name and 🦆 and knew straight away lol 😁

[@Ducksouttheredoinit]

@@BigOzExplorers good on you! 👍 I have traveled with young kids, 4&5yrs for a few months. Did a half lap. With a few other constraints that I won’t get into here…. That was challenging enough WITHOUT KZbin ! 😳 Awwww it’s so nice to be remembered (by some at least) thanks Sian 🤗😉🍻😎🦆

whats the blue on Chris' pinky finger?

Jayda painted his fingernails lol 💅

@@BigOzExplorers that is awesome! lol (its about time she fixed it up again, currently its siding on a oddly coloured bruise instead of a lovely father daughter bonding experience...and if hes not up for it, tell her to wait until he is asleep, lol)

[@Scalihoo]

Jack's word for chocolate ' shlob " should be added to the dictionary because if you eat too much of it you become a big fat shlob ☺️

[@BigOzExplorers]

Hahaha good one, that’s a dad joke in the making 😝

[@danifletcher986]

Ahh the great dummy debate.. its your sanity thats important. You know when its time there is no age restriction when he has to give it to you, it could be another child that tells him he is a baby and the he decides to stop using it . Trust me they dont go into there teenage years with a D 🤣 Would love to know your recipe for the nachos, they look amazing

[@BigOzExplorers]

I’m glad to see it gone now, young enough not to remember, old enough to be ok without it! It’s been refreshing 🥰 we will do nachos one episode soon, there have been quite a few requests for it ☺️

[@karenmcqueen6393]

Keep on keeping it real. Travel alone or with others depending on your situation. My parenting tip with Jack is throw the dummy away. Let him scream his head off for a few days. Sorry but I believe you need to stop bending over backwards for him. He needs some tough lovin'

[@BigOzExplorers]

Hey Karen, we agree with letting him scream but in a caravan when squished in with others right next door, there is a time and place and we are considerate of neighbours lol. 😂 we have since given him three days of screaming at a free camp a while back and it’s gone 👏🏻👏🏻 we’re hard arses when the time is right lol… Cheers for tuning in! ☺️

[@johnpitt2742]

you torment him too much now he will remember it when you are older

[@stevew4260]

Ok, im out at 3min, nothing worse than hearing someone chew/eat at the same time while talking. Bye.

[@BigOzExplorers]

That’s the way Chris feels about wooden sticks 😜🤣
