epic ....brings back memories as I live in Hervey Bay....good work Sarah.

[@sarahrosefoster]

Such a good area ! Glad you loved the video !

[@dalet1001]

Your content is really well done, showing some stunning locations and demonstrating how capable and resilient you are. Hope the channel continues to grow and support your dreams.

[@sarahrosefoster]

That means a lot, thank you for the support ! 🤩

Loving your vlg style. It is inspiring my next Fraser trip.

[@sarahrosefoster]

That’s awesome! Hope you have an epic trip 🤩

Hey Sarah great video as always. Also I think induction heating would be a great addition to your setup.

[@sarahrosefoster]

Thank you! And yes I think I’ll definitely add it in! 🤩

[@qlder01]

Incredibly beautiful place, on my bucket list. Sounds like the rooftop tent held up during the storm and a neat little awning as well. Love your videos, I look forward to them each week!

[@sarahrosefoster]

It really is a must visit! And yes thankfully the rooftop tent did so well to handle the wind! 🏕️

[@ClayShootingTrucker]

I changed to induction cooking in my truck for the same reason you are thinking. I couldn’t cook in the wind and wild weather. Since changing to induction, I never have to worry about not being able to cook. It’s much faster as well. Another great video. Well done. 🤙🏼

[@sarahrosefoster]

That’s good to know, I think I’ll be making the change soon! Thanks for watching 🏝️

[@ClayShootingTrucker]

@ you won’t look back after changing. No worries at all. I enjoy watching the videos 🤙🏼

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

Sarah thank you for putting a smile 😊 on my face at this time and love ❤️ it prayers and blessings for you and your family love ❤️ your fellow Aussie family friend John xx you and your channel are fantastic xx

[@sarahrosefoster]

Thanks for watching John 🙌🏼

@ no problem 😉 sarah

A another adventure with Sarah you are a excellent tour guide lovely show today ❤😅

[@sarahrosefoster]

Glad you enjoyed it thank you !

[@phillipcollins9290]

Interesting, thank you. All these places I didn't know even existed. Between your videos, Molly Dixon's and dozens of train videos I'm learning a bit about Australia. Maybe you should come and explore South Africa?

[@sarahrosefoster]

Thank you ! love discovering new places in Australia too, might have to look into South Africa sometime! ✈️

Beautiful day out sarah if ya keen for a catch n adventure keep up the great content

Thank you !

Good Lord your home baked wrap bread looked soo good!

[@sarahrosefoster]

Thanks heaps, it was so delicious! Amazing what you can make on the fly🙌🏼

[@scottkovarik6361]

That does look better than store bought wraps

[@sarahrosefoster]

Glad you agree ! 🙌🏼

[@phoebecooperjackson]

Omg, you’re so brave camping where you literally get cut off with the tide! Haha. Love the drone footage 🤩♥️

[@sarahrosefoster]

When the storm hit that night I did consider how I could get out if I needed to 😂 not ideal haha thank you 🫶🏻🩵

[@Thereminator101]

Wow...your camping setup looks so comfortable Sarah...and those mad off-road driving skills! 😎 👍

[@sarahrosefoster]

Thank you! Was a lot of fun to tackle this track ! 🙌🏼

[@GB-cm6yy]

Start calling you the Queen of darts Sarah. 😊 They are lots of fun to catch, even if they are on the tiny side 🤣 Another awesome video too. I almost take your editing and cinematography for granted these days ... but bloody hell it's good. So entertaining. Looking forward to more adventures and as always safe travels.

[@sarahrosefoster]

It was so much fun! The confidence boost I needed 😂 Thank you so much!

Mazzy got it done!!!!!!! No Problem!!!!!

Piece of cake 🤩

A big thank you Sarah for sharing this video with me definitely enjoyed every minute of it. Congratulations on getting through the Kargara Rocks . It’s definitely one beautiful island to visit sometime. So looking forward to seeing you soon on your next adventure 😊

[@sarahrosefoster]

Thank you! It’s such a beautiful place! Definitely one to visit one day !

[@doughaynes1048]

Absolutely beautiful scenery reminds of when I visited there . Thanks for sharing this beautiful place with us. 👀 looking forward to seeing you in your next adventure. ❤️🤗😀

[@sarahrosefoster]

Isn’t it amazing! Definitely going back there first chance i get ! Glad you’ve been able to visit it also 🙌🏼

[@doughaynes1048]

@ One of my favourite places in Queensland.❤️😀🤗

Great video 🤙

Thanks heaps! Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Sarah, another great video on Frazer. how much clearance either side did you have going past the rocks? maybe ill see you out there sometime, i'm headed to Lightning Ridge camping this coming weekend. hope the weather improves for us all :)

[@sarahrosefoster]

Thank you! It didn’t feel like a lot of clearance but more than enough to get through 🌴 enjoy your camping and yes hopefully this terrible weather goes away for more adventures !

[@JohnJones-ce5ri]

Yay you! so loving your content 😍 have you given your bt a name yet?

[@sarahrosefoster]

Thank you! I went with Bella BT but I’ll be honest I’ve never called it anything other than “my BT” 😂

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks for sharing, Sarah. great effort getting through Nakaga, got to ask were you in low range or high range to get through?

[@sarahrosefoster]

Thanks Rick! Definitely low range to play it safe here ! 🙏🏼

Induction is certainly better but there's a lot to consider, which I guess is why you're on the fence about it. Notwithstanding the total cost, here are the things that I reckon are important to think about: 1. Space. You need the space for a substantial battery, inverter, plus charger/s. The battery and inverter need to be substantial in order to handle the necessary power output 2. Power output. The battery should be 200 amp hours at the minimum but 300 more realistically, and capable of outputting at least 150 amps continuously (for a 12 volt battery). The inverter needs to be pure sine wave and capable of handling at least 1500 watts continuously, but better to be at least 2000 watts. You need these high specs for a few reasons, including: - it's important to have decent wattage headroom for the longevity of your system (and safety). Batteries and inverters will run cooler and last a lot longer if they're not overloaded. - appliances often draw way more power when you first switch them on, so the system needs to accommodate the peak load. - portable induction cook tops tend to use around 1000 watts even on their lowest setting. The induction turns on and off at lower cooking settings, rather than using a continuously lower output. From my experience, Giandel inverters are reliable and good value, but there are plenty of others these days. 2. Battery chemistry. The high power output means that you really need to use a LiFePO4 battery, as similar sized lead acid batteries can't sustain that power output. The voltage of lead acid batteries sag too much at high power, which drastically reduces how much you can get out them per charge and also how many cycles they'll last. Beware of unknown branded LiFePO4 batteries. There are some shonky rip offs in Australia. But you also don't need a really expensive name brand. I can't recommend one from my own experience as I build my own (and I don't recommend you do that), but the Kings batteries seem to be getting good reviews. 3. Charging system. Do you want to charge from your car engine, from 240 volt power, or from solar? While you can get chargers that handle two or three of these options, they're expensive and it might be more practical to get individual chargers for each type of power input. How fast do you want to be able to recharge? Chargers get a lot more expensive if you want high power output for faster charging. If you go with a charger that runs off your car's alternator then don't get one that goes much above 20 amps, as the higher output ones can kill your car's alternator (can be very costly to fix). Similarly, 20-30 amps is a good limit for solar chargers unless you plan to carry an enormous solar panel array. In Australia, I'd suggest Renogy for a car charger and Victron for solar. They're both reliable brands that won't break the bank in these low power options. Get the car charger professionally installed. There are plenty of 240 volt options and you don't need a really expensive one. I've even used $30 eBay chargers successfully - they just need to output constant voltage (around 15 volts) and constant current (whatever output you choose as long as it's less than the battery's rated max. charging value). But going with a reputable brand is always a good idea.. Hope this helps!

[@sarahrosefoster]

This is super helpful thank you! I definitely have the power / inverter set up for it but I think I’ll keep the standard burner cooktop as a back up if I need it just in case. 🙏🏼
