The Great Australian Detour

[@robyndehavilland1609]

Love the little history lessons 😃

[@VetinaVan]

It's great to tour through some of the lesser known areas of Australia's Goldfields past, we love it. 😀😀

Retired guy in Florida here, I bet this channel will have over 199k subscribers soon.it's quite good.

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video, we got some pretty epic country down here! 🤙🤙🍻🍻

[@bradtottman1425]

Great video I enjoyed watching😁

[@VetinaVan]

Thanks so much, we are pretty blessed to be able to like this life! 😀😀

Another great vid, I’ve missed watching you guys, just been doing a bit of adventuring myself. I used to work at SOG in the nineties, so long ago but I love that area still. This truck license business has piqued my interest. You could go a Isuzu or Mitsi as you’re used to a rough ride 😂😂😂 (unmodded seats !!!) or maybe a six seat Ram, who knows, should be interesting.

[@VetinaVan]

Yeh mate, the new tug build is starting to take shape! Whatever you think it might be, it's something else! Let's just say we shouldn't be difficult to miss! 🍻🍻🍻

@@VetinaVan that comment gives me Unimog Vibes, or something of that ilk ! Whatever it is, I hope you love it.

Hi guys love the video and the info on all the places you go see but just what to ask as looking at buy a 76 what’s the gvm you are running thanks

[@VetinaVan]

With the coil conversion, we are 3900 pre reg gvm, very tight on weight! The new tug has a bit more.. We don't have any tune either, so the power is less than a 200 series. But we aint trying to drag anyone off the lights, so still very happy with the 76, and it's been pretty much indestructible.. 👍🤙🍻

[@johnpitt2742]

i have done that distance in an overnight trip but i didn't have a van and a family

[@VetinaVan]

Yup, adds a whole new dynamic with a big van on the back and three kids! 😀

[@biglap.australia]

Nice post. We really enjoyed our time at Mt Magnet. Went up to Cue then on to ghost town of Bell. Anyway can I ask are they clear views or MSA mirrors?

[@VetinaVan]

Yeh, it's a pretty cool part of Outback WA. I just wish we had a bit more time to explore! The dumbo ears are Clearview. They were the only viable option when I built the car back in 2019. Would do MSA ones now if I was building a new rig. 🍻🍻

[@contributor7219]

A few episodes back we thought: 'Your family is about to outgrow that '76, you'll need a truck soon...' Fingers crossed we'll soon be welcoming you to the truck-travel community if all goes the way it looks to be going. Good ol' Herbert Hoover, for good reason not so fondly remembered by our US brethren it seems!

[@VetinaVan]

Haha, indeed!!! Let's just say with the new tug we won't be worrying about weights anymore!! 😀🍻🤙

[@contributor7219]

@@VetinaVan The same thing we all start out thinking about our trucks... Then the items aboard to multiply - and I'm not talking about offspring this time 😂 Looking forward to seeing what you've chosen 👍

[@VetinaVan]

@contributor7219 haha, indded,, as we are literally having the conversation on "how big the boat should be".. 🍻🍻

[@leannechurches5227]

As always love the content 😊

[@zoezoe610]

Thanks Again. Just wondering how many ks you do between the van's axle service.

[@VetinaVan]

Hey Zoe, every 10k or there about, usually 1 - 2 times a year, depending on the roads we have been on. We were due during this vid and unfortuantly had something go wrong! Will show you next week. 😀😀

[@zoezoe610]

@@VetinaVan Thanks, about twice a year for us too it does not take long to do 10k. Thanks looking forward to seeing the new setup. License to HR/LR was a glimpse 😁

spend too much time in there and you will end with a hole in the pocket

seems like you have a good granny don't spell things right so you can tell if people are reading their signs
