Stradbroke Island in our 4x4 overland vehicle & offroad caravan off-grid beach camping

[@KiwikimNZ]

Gun it on that sand! Lol Stradbroke island brings back so many memories ! Every Christmas holidays as a teenager we would set off! So much fun spent there, getting people to buy us XXXX beers, pissed at at the Stradbroke camping ground trying to act straight in front of the olds, chasing boys, blue bottle stings, sun brunt to a crisp, my first spliff and first pash lol thanks for bringing back the memories. My dad, brother and sister that I spent those holidays with have all unfortunately passed away, so bought a tear to my eye. Great to see you enjoying your lives and doing what you want to do, living the dream! You both deserve it, very proud of you! For a young couple it’s inspiring to see ❤! Great information ! Xxx have fun

[@ivanolsen8596]

Did you visit the Little Ships Club on Straddy? Top spot, my second home when I lived in Brissy. Only fish on a rising tide, any other time the fish stay home. I loved your comment on the caravan coming off the beach, Sarah, cute as !!!!!

[@doctorpc4x4]

However you cook in an oven is how you cook using the Weber

[@teaspoon7173]

I'm amazed how Keelan has grown since the channel started

[@PaulMotu]

Thought we were the only crazies that named their car and van LOL. Nice vids guys - reallly enjoying the quality and humour of your content. I was a little hard on my comment about your 12V solar vid but I do enjoy your vids, quality of content, humour and hmmm now your cooking suggestion! They actually looked good when you were chucking them in so well done. Best regards ❤

[@smokehuntersbbqteam3510]

Hew guys. A suggestion would be to get the Weber trivet system and two grill plates for your Weber. It will give you better options for roasting and allow for indirect heat and not directly cook the bottom. Great video and hope you enjoy our home state.

[@f.t.w1066]

Great video guys..👍👍👍

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Thanks legend ❤️❤️

[@s1879278]

Take the breakfast plate off, put grill plates in. Get a kaon baby q roasting tray with a Weber trivet. Use a thermometer into chicken should be > 70 deg c. Nice poppers btw 👌

[@RoscoAdams-xt5lp]

🤗 Jalapenos And Cream Cheese 🥓🐔 Thy Worked Out Well 😋 Sweet 🌊🏄‍♂ Thanks For The Share Guys 👍🏻👍🏻

[@finnslater]

Surfing footage was epic!

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Thanks legend!! Was really good fun!

[@danedge5180]

love camping on straddie not far from my place

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

far out mate you got a good backyard!!

[@dalexdrone7573]

Mateeee! What a rush. You came into J1 track at pace😮😮 Was that the sand squeaking in the tyres?😂 Legends! So sorry to hear you suffer migraines Sarah. I have had then for years. I would just wake-up with one and know it was not going away until I took a lay down and 1 iptam. Great surfing clip again. That is such a good angle. I felt I was out on the wave. Bugger about the stinger. Love your enthusiasm.

[@outahereadventures]

Spewing we missed you guys, we just left the island last weekend we were camping in zone I… fishing tip, don’t fish in the middle of the day. We do sunrise and sunset and we got a large haul of Taylor of Flinders and main beach….welcome to our back yard

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

thanks leanne! I reckon we were there around 3-4 weeks ago, thats how many videos we are ahead! thanks for the tip! makes sense because we caught nothing haha next time we will take that advice and hopefully get something for dinner!!

[@essentialtraveldash]

Keelan your face as you got into site J1 at Stradie 😂😅 well done I laughed with Sarah’s #* words 😂

[@JandH2017]

We piss ourselves laughing at Keelans aussie "strine & colloquialisms" Sarah it must be a workout being the camera woman and camera gaffe running around amd after Leroy Brown. Surfing looks so much fun mate until a stinger hit ya in the 👁 lol. #lovebirdsatsunset 💞

[@tokinwithtuck]

the surf looks awesome

[@pata8167]

Great blog guys drive it like you stole it 🤣 in the sand

[@steveswain2599]

Love everything you guys are doing. Thx for taking me around Oz from my lounge chair. Always informative and fun viewing. Stay safe and keep following your dreams.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

thanks legend what a sick comment!!

[@pheonix1758]

Guy’s awesome vlog- Keelan awesome off road driving, Sarah that dish is very tasty thanks for the recipe 👍. Stay well and safe travels.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

thanks legend!! cheers for the support and such a kind comment 🤙

[@Davi.b]

Moreton Island next hey. If you take the van .stay camped on the bay side. And do a day trip to the Cape and surf side. I love straddle, been there 100s a times.. good big tailor fishing off north point. Surf is on the east side. ( obviously ) As far as beach camping on Bribie, with the van. I would not bother. Honestly. If you go to Fraser. WITH THE VAN, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GO OVER OR PAST INDIAN HEADS. YOU WILL FAIL AND RECOVERY WILL COST A FORTUNE . Good vids guys . Nailed it.

[@leecousins5440]

Awesome episode, love seeing you excited about new places.

[@amandaburgess1263]

Love the potty mouth Sarah 🤣🤣

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Thanks pearl!! Haha 😂😂😂

[@KyanLucasMichael_Fishing]

Love the suspense you brought! We all know the fear of sand and van

[@robertczerwiec3898]

[@grantlouw3182]

Leroy is an absolute weapon! Just don’t get too confident though…

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

hahah thanks mate! Leory still had more up his sleeve!!

[@davidmilledge221]

Still expensive sealink there but probably a smidgen cheaper than the KI one in SA , we have the most expensive 45 minute ferry trips in the world , I see why folks fly out off Australia and go overseas for cheaper holidays , great time you guys having we love ýour videos play safe 😊

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

yep I agree about KI that broke the bank haha these are on our bucket list though and it was 100% worth the money we reckon!! thanks David!!

[@almorgan9005]

By coincidence, I just happen to have the ingredients for Jalapeno poppers in my fridge. Guess wots for dinner tonight. Thanks for the recipe guys.

[@yusufsayed1583]

My daughter said she met you on Fraser Island today 👍🏻

[@rtarrant1]

Great series team. Seeing some great places for us to visit. Thank you so much.

[@jeremyharris4415]

Fantastic video really enjoyed it and yes I just described to your channel

[@MonsterMick]

I just went for 4 days over the Labour Day weekend. The weather was absolutely shocking and it just made it not worth it. Ended up changing the ferry and going home early. Especially with the cost of the ferry, I’d recommend checking the forecast before you go over there. Beautiful place though.

[@seancorley8137]

Great Video. One of our favourite places. Spent a week at zone A last month.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Bloody awesome spot hey!!

[@Ben-bj3ev]

Can drive bud... on point. I'd be packing.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Thanks legend!! Was heaps of fun

[@Pauly.]

Awesome vid. Good to know other people peak a bit when towing on the beach!!

[@SandraPrinsloo-vn8dq]

Hi Guys great video we just got back from Staddie yesterday. We stayed at Main Beach Zone H for 2 weeks. Amazing, beautiful place isn't it.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Nice mate how good is main beach aye!!

[@stevepierce3509]

Beautiful van setup design inside guys really like it can you please do a walk through to show design and brand please

[@mrandmrsmeier8685]

That was EPIC guys!!! It was truly wonderful seeing your excrement and so thrilled you loved our beloved island. Can’t wait to see the next 3. Morton Fraser and not sure of the fourth but bring it on. Our hearts were racing along with you. That beach entry can be a car sink hole at times. Bravo guys. Straddie took Leroy’s Cherry 🍒 lol

[@addicted_2_adventure_]

Amazing ❤

[@ryanstewart8836]

Nice vid, I hope you pop over to Moreton as well

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

we did do Moreton! what a cracker island that one is!

[@raelock598]

Straddie is a good place I'd leave your van on the mainland if you's are thinking of Moreton island then Bribie island a nice spot all in a short drive from each other and close to brisbane

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Thanks legend!! You will have to stay tuned we havnt taken our van to all the islands

[@garycharters7168]

Site J is our go to one as well - great episode and you nailed the beach access on and off as it is really as bad as that when towing and momentum is your friend 😅😅😅

[@treeman3663]

You need a surf rod

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

its in the works!! just saving up haha

[@barrydixon1]

Thanks Guys 👍 You guys are easy to watch 😊 no bullshit 😊 Enjoy your beach adventures 👍

[@WHIKID1]

Spent most of my earlier years over on Straddie. The sand isn’t ideal to drive on. You did well dragging that caravan through it. The ferry is a little overpriced I think. Never used to be so expensive.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

thanks mate! I under estimated how long the top (non tidal soft part) part was!

[@davidmilledge221]

Gee wiz buddy mate you don't want to roll ya van on the beach far out man 😮

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

narh thats for sure!!

[@Peter760]

Just watching you come off the beach, noticed the suspension on KIETH just soaked up all the bumps where LEROY was all over the shop.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Some hectic soft sand mate, Leroy has it hard haha Keith Is setup amazingly!! We are working on something that will soak it up even better watch this space

[@raneezeller7475]

Good ole straddle. It’s a local place for me but bloody expensive to get across. Great video. Love watching you both. ❤

[@Fitzy6722]

Great ep. just watched wild reaches before this and he was there also. And also very good content he shares👍🏽👍🏽

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Love his shows!! As real as it gets!! He seems like a aussie legend! Reminds me of Malcolm Douglas a bit

[@Fitzy6722]

@Sarah and Keelan Travels yes he's great. In his first 3 or 4 eps is my mate Dan. We worked together at Australia Zoo back in the day, and used to surf with Steve himself. I was there in 1998 till 2001. Mad fun days🤙🤙

[@chrisg9214]

Another great video with heaps of helpful information. I wish we had your talent to share our similar travels from a few years ago. We're on the sunny coast if you need a property to camp on for a few days. Cheers.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

hey Chris, you have the talent mate! just gotta have a crack!! you learn and get better every time you get on the camera or on the laptop to edit!! cheers mate

[@JustcruznRob-AlanaBuick]

Great to have you both in our Sunshine State. I’m such a fan of the whole Moreton Bay region with enclosed seaways from the Gold Coast to the top of Moreton island and more! Excellent fun video thanks for sharing. 😊

[@rollyb5061]

awesome episode Keelan, can be a bit daunting beach driving with a van by yourself without another recovery vehicle , you did very well👍

[@richardcrumpton2071]

Next to me I'm on macleay island

[@robertmatchett-mk2if]

Keenan you need one of these boats they are a lot better and weighing in at 45 kg ezy toppers

@@SarahandKeelanTravels been following you guys since you started, and we love every episode guys, your channel is informative, entertaining and always Legendary!

[@kevinmajor3975]

What did you drop you van tyres to please guys?

[@roedama7986]

Great video guys, didn't know dogs were allowed on Stradbroke island, might have to cancel Fraser and head there instead!

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

thanks legend! Fraser is pretty good though haha

[@tonyf7997]

Keelan and Sarah, awesome spot. We were in ‘H’ on Flinders end of March for a week. Perfect when there is south or SE . I was lagging my ass of as I was also fishing in shoulder high water and got SFA and yet our camp neighbors in a big rig pulled in 6 great sized dart one morning . What an island - I was a regular when at school in the late 70’s and then work got in the way so only revisited this year in our 2020 VX and a hybrid. We use the In deflate for our rig and the gauge is shit - so inaccurate not funny but at least it does 2 tires at once! Why you guys in a rush? Slow up and enjoy, the cost is all in the ferry that is same regardless of time your there and 10 days on Straddie is nothing, plenty to see including the lakes and tracks. Love the east coast vids mate…. And hats of to the new cook! 😀😝

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

thanks Tony! its killer aye! we had a sick time there!! have a look at iCheck deflators, those red ones we use! Sam has made them accurate to like 1 Psi, they are awesome just screw them on and does all 4 plus the van at once if you have two sets of 4! SKT10 will get you a discount too!! thanks mate!! cheers for being a local on the channel and always commenting!

[@meandering_wombat]

You’re doing yourself an injustice by not getting an Insta360 for your surfing footage. Another awesome episode BTW

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

we had a look at those!! soo expensive aye! ill do some research now!

[@shaungill6992]

Fare play to you mate you got a set a nuts on ya haha I was sweating for ya

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

haha thanks mate, yeah the cut ins are soft as at the moment and long too!! I was expecting maybe 20-30m of soft stuff off the hard tide sand but yeah nah nah yeah like 150m of it haha cheers mate

[@robertmatchett-mk2if]

Ezy toppers

[@Bhoney-11]

Taking your caravan on the beach has been peaking, didn't know if I was going to shit myself or throw up 😂 $60 for a caravan park 🥵 Love your vids!

[@frankchristensen5778]

Hi guys, great vid as usual. Hey Keelan, how did you manage to squeal the tyres [towing the van] when you came off the beach?? Bad luck copping an eyeful while surfing! [the stinger, of course...] Greetings from Perth, West Australia. Cheers, Frank.

[@johnlaub8657]

Hi guys new to your videos but absolutely love them. Been hitting moreton Fraser and straddie for years now so great to see you guys enjoying them aswell. Where are you heading atm?

[@arm_luvr1002]

Lol they run semi trailers on that ferry all the time

[@Ramsi2377]

Hey Keelan, would you share your board dimensions for both you and Sarah?

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

I ride roughly 6'0 x 19.5 x 2 3/8

[@Angstvormirr]

What awning u guys running? cool video

[@TheAlphaWavePodcast]

Your 4 Runner is bad ass bro, but what are your thoughts on the Tesla Cyber Truck and the possibility of having a solar caravan that can charge your truck? They say the cyber truck will come with its own solar panels and it can travel 500 miles without charge and the solar panels on the back hood can charge up to 15 miles every hour. I saw in one of your videos, you mentioned spending I think 150 AUD per week on gas. Imagine spending nothing and even being able to nap while the truck self drives.😂

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Haha not a 4 runner it’s a landcruiser 200 series it’s got the 4.5L v8 twin turbo in it! Mate they are going to be epic! Wonder the price tag on them haha

[@malvane8306]

Hi I have a question. in leroy where did you get the window shades from the back and sides of you boot?. I am after a set for my 120 prado.

[@allancroker1620]

Do I get 10 points for naming the 4 islands are Straddie, Moreton, Bribie and Fraser

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Nope because your wrong hahaha 😝 😂 nice try though haha 😂

[@rodneypurbrick7899]

Not sure if anyone has asked...but why such a massive van ?

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

It’s only 18 foot 9! It’s perfect for us

[@richardwalsh5570]

Sounded like it was pinned 😂

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

I reckon we had it max at 75% throttle on that soft bit, with our tune we are in the power band around 2700rpm-3500rpm I think we had it around 2700revs on the soft bits I havnt yet had to drop it flat on the beach

[@treeman3663]

2 panadole migraine gone 😮

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

hahah dosnt work on me

[@jeffhornek5495]

What vehicle?

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

It’s a landcruiser 200 series

[@scratchgolfer]

You must be concerned that your rig appears to be way overweight.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Haha we are not concerned because we are not overweight 😂

[@treeman3663]

Nothing wrong with a potty mouth

hahah thanks mate
