Hi guys this video was very informative and helpful. Poor Pablo was just not feeling it was he lol. I’m guessing when stealth parking you just don’t take the pee and start putting your awning up and sitting out with a coffee. I guess it’s a discreet last in and first out scenario. No harm done. Shame it was so windy there near the lighthouse as I bet you could have got some great drone footage. Keep enjoying life and we’ll see you on the next one 🤗🤗🤗🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Hello Sandy and Tim. Yes if you keep to yourself, stay away from residential areas and no signage, they'll leave you alone. Thank you for sharing. Have a good day.

Shire Councils can't tell you want can happen in side a vehicle as it's the jurisdiction of the State/Territory Road Authority. They can set rules if you're on council purchased land, but that must not be "parking" as to Road Authority, a la state road signage. If you're on Crown Land, then you can sleep, as a natural common right. Where Shire Councils can get you, is when you dump grey water onto the ground. The Road Authority may have definitions of RV's and what that entrails. Same with electrical standards, if using mains electricity.

I remember one time I was parked in Prahran Shopping Centre, and I asked the parking attendants where I can park without getting a ticket after 6:00pm and they told me I could park in the loading zone overnight if I wish. Any unmarked streets are cool also. I used to park outside my work for two years whilst decking out my van and only once was I asked what I was doing there and I just said I work here. I used multi storey units to park outside of and some streets have boats and caravans parked out front of them, so I just slipped in between them and when the Spirit of Tasmania was running from Port Melbourne Lots of motor homes and caravans would park down by the beach where it was unmarked, take off with them in the morning which reminded me of that Batman movie when the Joker drove out of the bank with the rest of the yellow buses, lol

Yes there’s a lot of people who decide to go off in mobile vans around Australia unfortunately to most of us who are here in Australia you are driving a mobile tea room with some conveniences at the end of the day. You have to travel a long distance in Australia to see a change in the scenery That’s why most of us fly with small aircraft tedious to drive. Regards Al from down under whatever you do be careful of the cone fish there is no antidote and more people die who simply go for a paddle along the beach and fall asleep in the water and simply drowned. Take care.
