Snow Camp - Our first time with the caravan & it SNOWS | Going South Part 3 | Roadtrip Australia

[@michealsaville1028]

Hey Guys, I work in the Ski Resorts. When we park our cars we lift the Windscreen Wipers off the Windscreen to stop them Freezing to the Glass, especially with Auto Wipers you can tear your blades just when you really want them. Been following you since Charlie Bear was about 6 months old.

[@Eighty9Mike]

how good is snow camping, can be super soft and LUMPY!

[@louwallace4139]

Best mash spuds cut in half boil from cold water then when water comes to the boil simmer so the lid isn’t dancing....20 mins should be soft. Drain add butter salt pepper, mash then stir in pure cream to make creamy mash spuds.

[@rebekahmillowick9302]

Lumpy mash is the best kind! We don’t even peel the spuds, just give them a good scrub and chop them!

[@scottmcneill1805]

Lumpy. I've loved watching your videos and travels. So informative. I worked for 9 seasons in Perisher valley as a snowmaker. It's fun watching peoples first reactions to snow and freezing conditions. It's a pity you didn't spend any time around Jindabyne and Perisher or Thredbo. I understand why though as it appears there are no camps in that area and I'd say all the caravan parks would be booked out well in advance

[@TripInAVan]

Yeah we planned to stay in Jindabyne and explore but we couldn't actually get any accomodation.

[@scottmcneill1805]

@@TripInAVan I think all the caravan parks are booked out a year in advance and with a waiting list

[@theoutdoorcook1794]

Who doesn’t enjoy a bit of lumpy mash!! Absolutely no drama with a bit of spud texture

[@jacjewels]

Guys you are our inspiration - 10yr wedding anniversary for us next year and we are contemplating a trip south for hubby and two kiddos to see the snow for the first time. Love your info, reconnaissance, family vibe and friendliness ❤️ “Lumpy”

[@TripInAVan]

Hahaha love doing a reccy for ya’s.

[@davidriggs5116]

That roast mate looks really smick and lumpy....yummo. Thanks for the video. Safe travelling

[@Lee-astrololee]

Loveing the episode, love how the kids just got straight into that damn fluffy stuff lol! Also didn't someone let you know to lift your wipers off the screen when parked up and its snowing? Stops the rubbers freezing to screen which causes stress on the electrics if you try to use them!

[@TripInAVan]

We did know that. Thanks!! All was good tho🤙

[@Lee-astrololee]

@@TripInAVan Glad you did, snow is so much different from Queensland weather, thats for sure!

[@grahamparker3468]

I’ve lived above the snowline for many decades. If you pull your wipers away from the windscreen and you get half a meter of snow, they are unprotected and can break. Leave them tucked in safely against the screen. Start the engine, run the de-mister while you clear the snow. They will operate safely and normally. Local knowledge!

[@holgermuller2987]

@@grahamparker3468 g’day you have always pro and cons. Where we live no such thing as a meter snow. So what? I reuse the cork from the 🍷 bottles under the arm to lift the wiper a bit to not touch the glass. And yes I do it mostly in summer that the rubber not stick on the glass and bent into always one direction and prolong life time. Now wiper sets are becoming increased expensive no more get 2 new rubber for 10.- AUD, except when you drive old vehicles Cheers

[@nevillelivingston7010]

The lamb and "LUMPY" mashed potatoes looked great

[@kirstyfrancis642]

I leave skin on my potato’s! Just so I get a bit of texture! Love the “lumpy” mash Bec!

[@allthingsaustralia4861]

That is gold.. water front site. a hole in the ground. True Aussie optimism. You guys are awesome. ❤️

[@iangoodwin345]

Lumpy spuds, lumpy snow, lumpy bush camps. Another top episode, with real snow and a killer B&E roll. Great work by the kids to construct their snow people. Wish I was there to share the marshmallows and hot chocolate. Continue to enjoy the change of climate and the cooler temps of the southern regions.

[@kathleenharsha6504]

What great fun seeing you all getting so giddy over a little snow. In central Utah we get quite a bit. So pretty at first but after 4 or 5 months of it. YUK! Spring can't come soon enough. As it starts to melt, there tends to be lumpy clumps of it scattered about. Looking forward to the next vid.

[@harrycollins9244]

Another great episode of the trip always get LUMPY mash but love it

[@peterleighton9392]

Just love mashed spud not lumpy .Great episode beautiful scenery keep the vids coming 😊

[@lanalou6054]

Amazing episode. That lamb looked delicious. Don't get me started on those LUMPY potatoes. Nice job guys.

[@cas5797]

The LUMPY potato mash queen! Oh what a laugh what Charlie said about your mash! Gold!

[@brettbell599]

The kids are so entertaining... that includes Justin as one the kid's! "Lumpy" Love the vids!

[@damiant5876]

Thanks for bringing back the memories of the first time we took our kids to the snow. My wife is famous for her lumpy mash too.

[@chrisreid4953]

Looking forward to seeing the snow. Love the video. Lumpy.

[@charliehalbert7368]

Snow looks awesome. Nothing wrong with LUMPY mash bec

[@jakeadams5686]

I love how the marshmallows and the potatoes were LUMPY, just to keep up with the theme

[@kellihodges7446]

AWESOME EPISODE GUYS “Lumpy” Best mash is to use garlic butter a little milk salt pepper and use a stick blender so it’s nice and creamy can add cooked diced bacon on top soooo good

[@alanforbes9482]

Lumpy mash and lamb; great meal. Loving your travels.🤘

[@nataliaasher5237]

My hubby does Lumpy mash tooooo! Loving the snow ep

[@beggarsbanquet3420]

Love LUMPY mashed spuds,a bit of texture 👍

[@paulgray4676]

love the episode, and the LUMPY snow fight

[@ingridmatschkephotography]

Watching this while I should be cooking dinner. Now I am starving after watching your lamp spit.

[@erinwhipp1227]

Thanks for another great Sunday family session watching your Going South Pt 3 episode! Loved the ‘LUMPY’ mash.

[@TheRednut27]

Looks like another epic trip. ‘Lumpy’

[@neshculi]

Lumpy. Love the videos and how kids get along and play, and fight. Well done.

[@robpinter5431]

Thank you for visiting my back yard, snow country, so good to see you all having a great time, we who live down this way head north for the winter.....

[@graemegrieve1953]

The road to the snow’s not bumpy… The kids ski gear is funky… Bec’s mashed spud’s not LUMPY And it’s great that no one is grumpy. Love your vids… enjoy the snow.

[@fleurneumann8430]

The fuel map is the ideal way to check fuel prices when in need of fuel and amazingly prices in some places have a huge price range . A very worthy app we use constantly for diesel in our home town Perth and whenever we are caravanning which is often . We did the snow in 1985 when we did our round Australia trip in our 18ft York caravan with our 2 girls aged 4 and 6 .stayed at Lake Eucumbene and accessed the snow fields from there . Love following your travels , thoroughly enjoyable and informative .

[@kellytalbot2089]

The roastie had me drooling, but love a bit of ‘lumpy’ spud too! Love the snow eps. Safe travels!

[@TripInAVan]

thanks mate

[@reneeround5658]

Nothing wrong with LUMPY mash!! Another great ep! Now have a craving for bacon egg roll!

[@Nikki-wu5xd]

Lumpy…. Watching from our camp chairs. Our last night in our house before we move into our caravan! Thanks for the tips and inspo!

[@kenmeadows8162]

Another big smile :) on my face watching you and your mob livin the dream. Quick tip for ya. Eggs. If you cook your eggs with a lid on put a couple of table spoons of water half way through cooking and it steams (cooks) the tops but keeps the yolks soft. Perfect eggs I reckon. cheers.

[@ianparmenter1704]

Great spuds. They don’t come out lumpy.

[@kiaorable]

Sooo much fun, as long as you can stay dry eh! You all look like kids that have never seen snow before, I was cracking up watching you as I remember that’s how we all acted the first time. Great stuff, look forward to the next one., cheers Judy

[@rachelmunn2010]

We always had LUMPY mashed spuds when dad was in charge of dishing up! Mums always make the best mashed potato!! Another great Ep! ♥️

[@cameronwoodall468]

Ripper episode- got to love a lumpy mashed spud!

[@philmcdonald7878]

LUMPY. Great vid guys! Love some of the shots with the 200 and van covered in snow. Weber pot looks like the go!

[@gayejohnson5856]

“Lumpy” never ! What an awesome shot in the snow. And some great camps to stop at….. Enjoy

[@TripInAVan]

thanks mate

[@bengrainger4947]

Camping in the snow looks awesome! Even the LUMPY mash looks good!

[@kateroods6677]

Awesome trip! I too love some LUMPY potato’s. And Jack, I love a burnt marshmallow! You cooked them to perfection. Black on the outside gooey on the inside. Yum.

[@TripInAVan]

he loves em charcoal

[@stevepierce3509]

Justo a tip if you ever run the high country again in snow or sleet is lift ya wipers from the front windscreen as the rubbers will freeze to ya window bro. And another is never boil the kettle and poor over ya windscreen as many do and end up with the windscreen cracking. put the kettle on for 20 seconds only max. The sleet and snow will melt only with normal room temp water, never hot mate. And don't poor cold water over as all it will do is bond to the existing ice and snow to make it thicker Legend.

[@TripInAVan]

Thanks for the info

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

LUMPY - great episode. Love you showing the reality of kids fighting in the back seat

[@twoodfield]

Great vid again guys! Lambie looks a bit LUMPY.

[@dalec3572]

LUMPY spud and snow is the best! Cracker of a snow season to be down here!

[@garys9390]

The innocence of youth… “mums mash is lumpy…..” gotta love that. 😂😅🤣 Personally, I too like lumpy mash, and lumpy gravy…. I feel like each lump is an unexpected lucky dip prize… another great vid gang. I’ve said it before, your little’uns are awesome… you are both great parents! 👍 And the adventures they are having… they don’t have to use their imaginations, they are living the dream… river adventures like huckleberry Finn, sword fights like zorro (or princess bride…), ocean adventures like flipper, desert adventures like Lawrence of Arabia, and mountain climbing like Everest… Brilliant….. just brilliant. Looking forward to your next vid…. 😎🥳

[@parkdalesrspollmerinostud1573]

Love seeing the snow. LUMPY ❄️

[@thetanners9824]

So you don’t get “LUMPY” mash: - cut potatoes in quarters - make sure you start them in cold water (so they cook evenly all the way through) - once cooked through drain until mostly dry - while potatoes draining return pot to stove and add milk and bring to the boil - once milk is boiled/hot return the potato and mash as much as you can - add butter and whisk rapidly. The whisk gets rid of any lumps, if it’s been cooked properly Glad you loved the snow and snowy mountains. We love the high country.

[@johncrossling8845]

Gotta love the diesel/gas heater, it opens up so many other options of where you can go. Have fun in the snow it is so much fun LUMPY 👍

[@johnjordan4647]

Ha ha Bec sitting in back to separate fighting kids brought back memories. Our kids are 39,36 and 33 now and the wife used to always sit in the back in the middle of the 60 series Landcruiser doing Mount Isa to Yeppoon to Grandparents place

[@TripInAVan]

thanks mate , appreciate your support

[@highvibe4839]

This was what life was like in the seventies for many, it’s time Australians got out of debt slavery system, live simple again with government out of your lives. They are nobodies! You have to make some sacrifices to do it, first of all stand up for your rights against their beserk Powers, crazy agendas, and out right theft of fuel, houses, inflation they created, home school your kids, as there lives depend on it going forward. Cheers, every Aussie family deserves this life.. I know, because I’ve experienced this…

[@jodowney9541]

Love how excited Justin is about his spit lamb Love the famous LUMPY spuds and of course lamby on the head

[@stevequinn9763]

Loved the video. The good ole Aussie Lamb roast looked fantastic even with Lumpy mashed potatoes. Keep The vids coming

[@danielbruce45]

so great you guys were in my home town, albury, great launching pad to plenty of great spots like mt beauty, yack, beechworth, bright and the rest.

[@TripInAVan]

So cool!

[@coversadventurecapers2838]

Can’t go past a good spit roast and mash. Lumpy mash creates texture! Our kids also thankfully love their vegetables. When asked what they want for dinner they always say vegetables and snags. Loving this episode. Can’t wait to see snow!

[@michaelcameron8904]

Hi family, you are not that far away now keep coming towards mount Hotham. I honestly dont understand why you are coming to the cold. It’s been miserable. Your choice. We will be going north when able due to work commitments. Enjoy the cold, i suppose something different. Take care. Bravo from Victoria Australia
