Thank you Leanne 💙

Hey Paul and Katie. Dont know if your itinerary includes going through Peterborough in SA. Your map line looks like it might. Really a great place to explore the train history. Awesome night light show about the trains. Jasper will love it. Awesome old Elvis history in the old picture theatre as well. Enjoy the trip.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thank you Doug! We love Peterborough (especially Jasper) and will definitely include our experience there - safe travels and thanks for your support 😊🇦🇺👍

[@cherylrayes8015]

The story of the little dog there is lovely too 🙂

[@petercross8620]

Great to see the wheels turning again. I love the area around Glen Innes, Inverell and down thru Bingara, Barraba and Manilla then over to Gunnedah. I drove a truck thru that area for many years on many of the dirt roads in the region. Enjoyed every minute of it. Looking forward to watching your adventure for the next few weeks, travel safe.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hey Peter, the country through this region is just beautiful!! Looking forward to the adventures ahead thank you for the support 🇦🇺🍻

[@nograndplan]

Rv time is so real. I love how your filming is blended. Have you done an episode on your editing program and filming gear?

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hello and thank you 🙏 we have covered off the gear and software in a q&a ep - but in a nutshell; Final Cut Pro editing on a MacBook Pro, Canon R6 for locked of shots and stills, GoPro x 3 for 90% of footage, DJI drones and the iPhone14pro 😅 we also use rode mics and DJI wireless mics 👍🏕️

[@anthonymcneil8778]

Weirdly I just drove much the same route recently. Beautiful out there. Btw, in NSW you’re allowed to turn off a road and cross a solid white line, we’re sensible like that

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

What a trip hey!! Yes, we have now learnt that road sensibility is more common in NSW 😅🚗👌

[@thats60slife60]

Just a little chip... think you should of touched a little more on Coonabarabran. It truly a beutiful town

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Yes you are right!! Unfortunately we had 28days to get from the Gold Coast to Uluṟu return so not possible this time round…. But, we’ll be back 💙🙌🏕️

[@suewiles292]

So glad to see you moving again.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

We are buzzing 😊

[@peterjames8714]

Looking forward to following your trip. In 1979 my wife & I did a 3 week 7,500 km trip from Sydney to the Alice & Uluru via Wilpena Pound & Oodnadatta Track. We were camping in a tent. Only 5 days of the trip was on bitumen road!! Cheers to Adventure. 😃

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Wow!! Times have changed - what an adventure of a lifetime you got to experience - you should write a book!! Thanks for sharing 😊💙🇦🇺

Awesome, I’m planning to do something like that next winter, looks like a good route you’re on so it’s great watching, many thanks.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

That’s exciting and yes a really great itinerary that has it all! Enjoy and thanks for the support 💙🇦🇺👍

[@bevandrews6911]

Hey! Paul, Barkly Hwy mmmmmm! Still not good currently, lots of potholes. There are warnings in place but we learned to watch for skid marks from the trucks when approaching the worst of them. Still a lot of work to be done. Hubby said in the Alice best fuel stop is BP in Whittaker Street, a prepaid truckie stop. Tenant Creek BP was also good. We stayed at Barkly Roadhouse, their facilities are coming along nicely after the fire last year. Curtin Springs was lovely but fuel $325.9 🙄Enjoy your travels.🥰

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Whoa! Great information thank you 🙏 we are so excited to be heading that way and will keep our whits about us 💙

[@marnibarratt8805]

FUNNY you just mentioned BROKEN HILL that's where I am from, my family still live there.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

So good in BH!! 💙

[@cherylrayes8015]

Great show, been a while since Ive done the run youre doing. Youre wise to have heating at Uluru my granddaughter and I were there at the end of June the year the Field of Light first started and we car camped and woke to a thick layer of frost all over the car lol. Didnt stop us doing the sunrise trip we just took a blanket each to wrap round us lol we were in the overflow carpark and let me tell you, its a long walk from there to the toilets 🤣🤣 have a lovely trip.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Oh wow!! We got down to zero at Curtain Springs last trip and froze out little butts off 🥶😅 always such great memories when you relive the stories - awesome 💙🇦🇺😊

[@Shinrin_Yoku_Delica_Adventures]

Tenterfield has an old cork tree as well

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

We missed that this time.. on the list 💙

[@stevencrosby8313]

Guys did that Cobar dump water point have obstructions to avoid you turning in/out or just double lines? In NSW can can cross double lines to enter or leave the road via the shortest route.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Wow!! We did not know that thank you 🙏 😅

[@treeman3663]

Coona is a lovely town 😊

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

So friendly too

morning to you guys always love your vids. just a question regarding your dash organizer, where is this from please!

Thank you 🙏 MSA 4x4 Accessories 💙🇦🇺

[@wilsonwhanau5618]

Great Episode guys. If you wouldn’t mind ensuring that any roads (including to Hip Camps) if they are ok for non off road vehicles. We travel in a Van so we would like to be sure that your itinerary is ok for us as well… Paul, I would love to hear (even quickly) what your daily schedule is for file dumps from your gear. As a photographer/videographer, it intrigues me how you plan your shoots for the day or do you simply wing it? Do you dump footage daily? I’m sure there are many that would also like to know how to photography/video more effectively - a tour can’t be enjoyed if your always looking through a lens. We have a 2 week return trip to Townsville from the Gold Coast coming up and I’d like to know how others capture and document their special moments, even if it’s not for a You Tube Channel. 😊

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hello and yes will do 👍 all roads we plan to go on and have so far are all good for on road vehicles 🚗- we may go off track in Kings Canyon but will definitely explain that it is a off road road 😅 I film drive and dump footage and scrub footage every single day so cameras can be charged and footage backed up, then at 5am next day I edit what I can to get a jump on the Final Cut. It is a lot to do if you are working and travelling every day on the 28 days but if you only have 4 weeks school hols/annual leave it would be amazing as you’d not be thinking about work - we really want to work our butts off over the 28 days to make sure we can give viewers the whole experience we are having - hope that helps and the footage will make up an 8 part series even though we cover in 28 days 💙🇦🇺😊👍 we are buzzing with this trip it is so incredible 🙌😎🏕️ thanks again PG

[@wilsonwhanau5618]

@@TheFeelGoodFamily thanks Paul for the comprehensive reply. I’ll certainly spend more time on the planning for our filming. It’s nice to know you rough edit along the way. Something I wasn’t sure if I should do or just wait to the end of the whole thing but that could be a nightmare and produce a massive headache. Take it easy on those wines matey else you’ll become the next t-shirt showcasing the real “Feel Good” Family…hiccup!

[@craigdewit2502]

I know this episode was done many months ago. I just would like to ask if I may, was there a particular reason you chose to go clockwise on this trip? We are thinking to do much the same journey from Brisbane however my thoughts were to go counter clockwise. 🤔

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hi Craig, great question 👍 the reason was because when we set off parts of the Barkley Highway were closed due to flooding…. So we knew the longer we left that part of the journey the more chance we had of it reopening and as it turned out it reopened a few days before we arrived to that section 😅 albeit in a patched up but accessible state 🙏🇦🇺🕺💙🍻🏕️. Ideally (and humorously) you’d travel counter clockwise as you can safe a small amount on fuel as you are travelling on the inside/left lane making it a shorter distance to travel therefore saving a few dollars in fuel 😅🤩👏 safe travels and enjoy every moment Cheers Paul

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Ps if you have the time watch the whole Uluṟu series to get the whole picture and you will see the Barkley sections on the footage - it is amazing country through there 🇦🇺

[@craigdewit2502]

Thanks Paul for getting back to me, it’s really appreciated. Who would have thought I’d be saving money on fuel too going anti-clockwise! 😂

[@Stephen0001]

So the road from Casino to Tenterfield was OK towing a van? It looks really twisty on the map (I’m a Flatlander from WA).😶

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

It was a bumpy and windy route but no trucks or traffic so easy going and it was beautiful scenery 🇦🇺💙😊

[@KimberleyJaskolski]

We are getting a 24.8 foot caravan. We know we need to get a new/secondhand car to tow it what would u recommend? I am having trouble finding one. It also has to be automatic as I can only drive it. Hubby can drive both. There are 6 of us, 2 dogs and a cat.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Wow!! That is a big rig 😊 I think you will need to really look at the van weights fully loaded (as you have the van already in play… ) once you know those numbers you can look for a vehicle that has the weight capability to safely and legally tow it. It would be good to ask this question in a caravanning group that may have someone towing the same van model and see what they have chosen as their vehicle - you can then connect and ask them their experience etc. all the best guys 🙏😊

[@gregrobinson2394]

Is travelling around these central Australia areas suitable for a 2wd vehicle or should you have a 4WD? I have a new 2wd Outlander. Thinking of buying a small on road caravan too. Are the roads (particularly dirt ones) too rough for it?

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hi Greg, you can definitely travel with 2WD and access central Aus as most roads we travel on this trip are bitchumen. There are plenty of roads off the track that are only 4WD access. You can travel from Adelaide to Uluṟu to Alice Springs to Darwin to Kakadu and Litchfield all on bitchumen in a 2WD 👍 stick to the tar and you’ll be fine
