A part time caravan puller, that has only made this channel as a record of places we go to, a diary if you will, video is poor, sound is poor, still photography is OK though, as that is what I am set up for, basically having a bit of fun and sharing stuff with family and anyone that is weird enough to sit through this stuff. I think I am funny but know I am not. sixteenthman123@gmail.com
CUTTYS GLASS BOTTOMED FISH SEEKER EXPERIENCE
Of course checking on mating cuttlefish, with Manny the Californian Marine Biologist giving great dialogue on the reproductive and other habits of the cuttlefish. Video is rubbish, but Manny's dialogue is very good, even though disturbed by wind on a few occasions.

Well part of our caravan jouney in south Australia took in Quorn, surrounds and it's sunset light show on the Viterra grain silos. Some history, some great vision, and we definitely enjoyed, not sure ohters will or do, but that is not my concern.

As we continue the Caravanning Australia, it is interesting to get into a bit of agriculture stuff. Agriculture has been what I have done in life and it is interesting to see contrasts in different styles and states. Grain growing and transport is very different down here in South Australia than in Qld or NSW for example. A bit of a short on one of the terminals we saw from a newer entry to the...

Peterborough well worth a visit as you caravan or camp your way around, through, across, up or down Australia. This is a short on the presentation we attended at the visitor information centre on the history of and importance of rail to Peterborough. Learnt alot here and will do something longer when I get home. The sound is a bit dodgy when old mate speaks, just have to listen carefully. No do...
WALLAROO SILO ART PROJECTION
zhlédnutí 20Před 21 dnem
Another stop on our Caravanning Australia, well partial, tour, Wallaroo on the Spencer Gulf, South Australia. Checked out the silo light show projection, it was a very good one, just after sunset, on the Viterra Silos in town. Coupled with a magnificent sunset, it made for a good day. I will put the longer and some would say more boring full version up when I get home, whenever that may be.

BOURKE NSW

Bourke was stopover for night 4 on the dive into caravanning South Australia, great bakery in Bourke and I had one of the best pies I have ever had there this time, a lamb and mint job. Also a wonderful cemetery, in which you will find Fred Hollows, I kicked myself for not knowing that. The water tower carries a mural celebrating Percy Hobson, a local indigenous gentleman that won gold in the h...

A lot of people doing it tough these days especially in regional Australia. Bourke has a lot of knockers but it's got a fair bit to be proud of
Agree. And always plenty to learn for old dummies like me
I'm the night rider!
what's the deal with the VW...does it drive...!?!
Dunno if it drives but probably does. Recently rebuilt but is an interactive display, push buttons and get Mad Max sounds
@@vagabond_vanner it's very interesting and cool...Thanx🤘😎
Nice bit of Country up there, went there at Easter. nice video mate!
Thanks 👍
I am Not sure what i just watched ? However, the gist was = Onya Aussie !
Nice Video Mate! Keep it up.
Thanks!
The trip you do to see if everything is working properly, just a little local one to make sure the tow fee is not too heavy if something goes wrong post maintenance season.
Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs in Busselton, Pink Zoot and Sherbet in Bunbury, and few years latter the Angels at the Bussel Hotel, and they were good old days, young strong and bullet proof, who would forget those years as a great time. Had an ap6 valiant regal v8, very rare rocking horse shit, wish I had it now, no speed limits out of town. Look at the nanny state we live in now.
Good on you mate.
Thanks for the visit
another great video it's an eye opener keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Foreign investments in Australia's productive farmlands, should it be more regulated than it currently is?
One night at Surfers Paradise for the Seafire Fireworks extravaganza, hosted by Skylighter Fireworks. I reckon the Lime Bikes are becoming a problem in this precinct.
For those interested, or struggling, here is a short piece on how to marry up your Next Gen Clearview mirrors to your Next Gen ford Ranger.
Is that a diesel or petrol ute? "For every litre of petrol burned, it puts out 2.3kg of CO2, while LPG produces only 1.5kg for the same amount, and emits up to 63 per cent less nitrogen oxide (NOx) - and even less compared to diesel." I took this off google. Maybe look at an aftermarket lpg setup? After all we are one of the worlds largest lng producers. It's a lot cheaper to fill up. I love my 2006 holden rodeo lpg ute and laugh when people complain about diesel and petrol costs.
They aren't utes.. They are Tonka Toy trucks. They clog up car parks and destroy the roads. They should pay a higher tax.
Don't waste your time doing, for the 5th time. And don't worry about this tax, that will never get started. Put your time into seeing how these electric fizzers are 10 times more damaging to the environment. Than any I C engine vehicle out there. A big thing they don't push. Is that every time you fast charge your car, it shortens the expected life of your 30 thous Dollar battery pack. Give or take 2 or 3 grand.
Thanks to all the brain dead that voted for Airbus Albo the bastard
How can a government just keep making more taxes we need to have a vote to change this system how they have to much power
What we need to do, is get rid of this lunatic Government
We need a tax on large vehicles like utes asap…very progressive.
So you approached someone in their driveway to measure their tyre footprint with your beanie with pom pom football supporters hat and uncut hair and you got a response that was friendly and forthcoming, …..that guy is very forgiving .
Nah in my walking gear. Asked him from the footpath what he thought of the chev. Told him what i was doing. He said i could measure his anytime. I see him alot of days. Walk past his house almost every day. He sells cars so happy to chat. Havent measured his in any case. Want a 2500 not a 1500. Not sure my hair would be a problem.
I've lived on a sailing catamaran since 2003. I've had lithium since 2010. I installed my own cells and bms system, charge systems etc. The lithium battery industry in Australia is an absolute rip-off. Call big wei in Brisbane or ev power in Perth and you will be amazed at the prices. We are gas free and use everything electric. This includes non caravan items like autopilot anchor winch macerator toilet etc. It is absolutely simple to do lithium yourself and I have done many boats without any problems. We even use induction electric cooktop.
Gee you braved that old video. They are really terrible now but incredibly terrible back then. To be honest we have bugger all requirements for power and no need to change that weight distribution. If we were living in it full time, maybe but that will never happen but thanks for the advice.
@@vagabond_vanner mate if your like me and like to avoid the masses get a boat, any boat big enough to live on. I can't stand the caravan thing because wherever I went there was people. I'm not a hermit, I still have to go to Coles or woollies, I still have missus family mates etc but nothing beats the solitude of nature. It's moron free. We had very little power needs as well when we changed to lithium. We created excess power and that gave us cheap sustainable options like an electric toaster and kettle instead of gas, induction cooking instead of gas etc the list is long. It mainly gave us longer periods of independence. We now have no gas on board which is a damn site more dangerous than lithium, something rarely mentioned. It also costs money but i dont think the system would be paid of with gas savings even in my grandkids lifetime. We have a watermaker, reverse osmosis, so the limiting factor for us is fresh vegetables and my other half has perfected air tight container storage of fresh vegetables for up to a month. I love videos that have content that is thoughtful and looks at all perspectives. I am not interested in "We bought this and its great but we have no idea what else is available or how it works and by the way we would like to thank them for giving it to us for free". Those idiots are destroying a useful resource called CZcams by cluttering it up with mindless promotional garbage. A thorough intelligent analysis of pros and cons of different things is what I look for, not cheap sales pitches for somebody else's benefit. I can get that at hervey normal. Cheers
I would say I am 100% like you, maybe more so, not a van freak either, would love a boat but wife wouldn't join me so have to compromise. WE travel in winter to places like Tasmania, it is marvellous, one morning woke up at minus 6, not a soul in sight, but you have to like cold. Second time we have travelled Tasmania for an extended period and van parks empty, free camps empty. I am a deadset hermit, wife handles the coles and woollies, I rarely go out these days. Started a youtube channel to overcome some fear of public speaking, it is a battle I can tell you but I will push on. Agree on the reviews and sensationalism of many channels, I can't watch them but I guess some are making a living doing it all and they need to stay at the forefront.
Fuel standard need to be included with the fuel efficiency standards. No point using the existing fuel on “better” cars going forward. Get better fuel. Less sulphur (10ppm) equal or better then European standards.
These regulations are just rubbish based on nonsense and a tax grab.
If Chris Bowen think he is going change the way trades buy there utes the hourly rate is going to go through the roof we just put cost on the customers so Chris when the people find out that that to call out the electrician and its 300 dollars an hour its going to be a blood bath as the next election because it's ute tax that is going cost evey one and Chris Bowen his job
Any tax is govt market manipulation. Name me a time when govt market manipulation has reduced costs for consumers and improved innovation ? This tax needs to be opposed.
There are tons of examples.
Re amplification across social media 'I wont have that problem' - Priceless, you won another subscriber!. Geat balanced take mate. So tired of all the yelling on the socials about this, life hard enough without getting triggered by emission standards.
Thanks. Just being honest. I speak poorly but want to speak better and agreed, i cant manage what i cant control but i can dig in and look for the opportunities presented.
it's an odd tax considering newer vehicles are producing less Co2, yet taxing new vehicles will cause older ones to have a longer service life. the other argument for the tax is weight of the vehicle on the road, curious when a tesla model y weights around 150kg less than a hilux, yet the tesla isnt going to be taxed. this would make more sense if the average road was in a decent condition and not riddles with patch overs and potholes. Co2 also makes up 0.04% of the entire atmosphere, and most efficiency comparisons are based against late 1980's injected vehicles. which is always the major argument pro EV. its a skewed metric to make arguments about taxing as a push towards an EV option. lastly rural Australia doesn't suit widespread EV. not to mention the power grid simply cannot support widespread EV use. as a plumber i often travel 400+ km a day to rural areas for jobs, so a diesel dual cab ute is the only real way to do my job. adding a tax to me when i upgrade will only push that cost on down the food-chain. as it will many businesses and sole traders. obviously those using these recreationally will suffer the most. caveat i am not anti EV as-well, i think they have their place, however the govt shouldn't be pushing in this way.
Couldnt agree more on most. At this stage they are a long way from suiting rural and outback oz. It will all depend on how the company cost is apportioned and what price points change buying habits. The weight thing is interesting. Still have to measure footprints of some chev 2500s but i have some interesting results. Thanks for the comment. Will fill in some gaps in part 2.
@@vagabond_vanner All new cars are too porky. My old Hi Lux is dwarfed by a new Hi Lux yet has the same payload and I don't need a step ladder to get into it.
How I see the 'ute tax' workings, think I have this mostly right from what I have read to date. Naturally doing this stuff off the cuff I have missed some stuff so will do a part 2 in the near future, maybe even a part three if I run one on heavy transport.
There is a lot of misinformation out there , let me start with the EV torque thing , the only reason some of these EVs put out a lot of power is two fold , firstly an EV has an absolutely huge power pack to funnel masses of energy to motors , unfortunately electric motors under load use even more energy under load because they can , hence why every single load or towing test against a comparable internal combustion vehicle, the EV has failed miserably. The other reason some EVs do manage to put a lot of power to the ground is because they have multiple motors. And I’ll give you an example of a single motor Tesla , my nothing special Toyota Aurion ( like a Camry) v6 family sedan naturally aspirated stock 6 speed auto V6 runs the quarter in the 14 second bracket , the Tesla single motor runs in the 15’s , the only time electric cars have more power is when they add extra motors to them . And for transparency we have a dual motor long range in the family fleet , of course , even with the bigger battery the range is not even close to my 7 year old Toyota big sedan which also is fitted with a tow bar and a spare wheel/ jack, tools , etc. On the traveling from Melbourne to Sydney in an EV , you can expect 12 plus hours , and December just past we had family emergency in Melbourne, and that time in the Tesla , the car had been charged over night and was fully charged before the trip home and it still took the 12 plus hours. It’s an easy 9 hours without even trying in an ICE powered vehicle. On the cost of vehicles, particularly commercial vehicles governments in Australia have been using them as nice little piggy bank for years, and even more so the big semis , which time after time after time, the pollies love to slug them wherever they can , of course the down side to that is, truckers cannot absorb the cost so they put their prices up , and because of that freight cost for everything you think of goes up , Raw material sourcing, raw material transportation, food, clothes, manufacturing, houses , all goods and all services , the cost of living also goes up , but transportation while being one of the basic ingredients for the gears of the economy to go around are also mated with a few other basics , water , gas , electricity , land rates . You add all these things together that governments of Australia over decades have milked and allowed costs to skyrocket , there is your answer why we currently have people no longer able to afford a roof over their head , people living in tents and cars, business after business going bankrupt, and this is not new , it started in 70’s , but in recent decades it has ramped up. Why are we in Australia looking at house prices for a nothing special 3 bedroom home often on a small plot exceeding half a million dollars, 30 years ago the same house was around a hundred k. Re the running to EVs as some magical solution to a very small problem creates way more problems, if you think the cost of Electric cars and utes is pricey , look at the price of a nothing special bus or heavy duty electric truck , I was in the trucking industry and was an owner driver , and I can tell you without reservation, the path these F wits in Canberra are steering us down into Ev nirvana is a farce and and a joke and will cost the country its reliable cost effective diesel fleet to replace it with cost prohibitive EV powered units that make no mistake will not be fit for purpose. I have a mate with a small bus company being told by his local shire he has to convert to electric buses by date X ….. or else ! The buses cost twice that of a competent diesel bus , and they do not have the range , and when the electric bus company was contacted for its suitably, he was told , point blank it would not do the job of a diesel bus, but welcome to the crazy net zero stupidity at all costs. The amount of cons and compromises are ridiculous, unfortunately this is the way we are being pushed. There is more , but I have talked long enough.
Good points, thanks for the comment.
The siloart that we visited as we caravanned our way across the mainland to and from Tasmania last year, we are fans of siloart and lightshows, so Quirindi was a must see this trip and we got a few others in on the way home. There is a much longer version of the Quirindi light and siloart show down the list a bit. czcams.com/video/QwsgOWQAlfk/video.html
Beautiful place
Vivid Sydney is or has been one of my favourite things to visit.
Great video 👌
Glad you enjoyed
another good video your 100% right when it comes to service and Maintenace i do as Mutch as i can myself the caravan industry is in a mess
Thanks for watching. I have a fair way to go in my presentation, but that is why I am doing this. Bit if a two way street on maintenance, if folks launch in and don't know what they are doing, creates a dangerous situation for all, or could create a dangerous situation for all, but 'caravan' maintenance can be broken into some simple sub sets that between a mechanic and gas fitter can be taken care of effectively and simply.
Good stuff mate 👍cheers for calling out BS thumbnails/titles 😂
Excellent video, this helps towards our trip . Thanks
No worries, glad it is useful but really only our feelings pertaining to us. Tasmania is a great place though, looking forward to our next visit.
Hi mate, in all your towing, have you upgraded to a Transchill transmission cooler?
Nope, only extras I tow with are the mirrors, I can monitor oil temps in this one, seems OK, we do only travel in winter though and usually south which may make a difference.
You're absolutely producing awesome content. Thanks for your open personal views
Thanks, it is an interesting place to be and it will be good to learn to speak better I think, although the software learning process is something I enjoy as much as anything. A lot to learn yet. Next two or three might be a bit on the boring side though.
another great video keep them coming
Well, glad you enjoy, I don't get amongst any of the drama, my wife tells me I should be more upbeat but upbeat just isn't me, so will have to see if I can alter my deadpan and boring persona.
can't get enough Tassie at the moment, such an amazing part of the world, every corner shows something new. Those trees about 5m in are awesome. Good luck with the channel, I know how much work they are, subbed ✌🏻
Ah not worried about any channel success. Bit of a project to document our travels a little differently and learn to speak a little better. The videography is definitely ordinary. My stills are much better but have been neglected a bit.
The concept of the solo's in different light was an excellent idea
My stills will be alot better, I am definitely no videographer and have a dreadful voice, my wife tells me to be more upbeat, just not me I am afraid. Just got to get around to processing said stills.
We're travelling from Geelong to Devonport today and it's packed, about a thousand people I'm told. Very calm crossing.
Geelong terminal is far superior to the previous one in Melbourne.
Wish the dog kennels were in an areacwhich could be reached during the voyage. Don't think our dog enjoyed being left alone for 12 hours.
Great episodes! we are loving our 6 mths in Tassie on adventures. might see you on the road
Very nice video❤
Thank you 🤗
Very nice video❤

The Franklin was quite a divisive issue. Mum protested while dad worked for the Hydro!!....... fun times.
It was indeed interesting times even fro way up here. I didnt get it until we visited there in 2016.
hey mate, nice video but you need to change the title of the vid to "tullah" . nothing about rosebery that I could see . How about the incredible 20 minute drive from tulluh to rosebery ? would have made a great vid on it's own.
You are probably right, my creativity lets me down I am afraid, I guess Rosebery was the final destination. It is an incredible drive as are many. It was/is funny, started the video caper as a bit of a joke and a diary sort of a thing, kids gave me some stick so I carried on for fun, so nowhere near set up for it, much more set up for stills, so often had to cajole passenger into firing up the camera phone through the windscreen.
all good...excellent coverage of tullah though@@vagabond_vanner
Well done bloke, I'm finding your videos quite interesting and informative. Great work
Thanks, I never really got into it for views etc, but just a travel diary, so videography is poor, sound not good, but it is an interesting process for sure, I wish I was creative but anyway, it is all a timeline of travel and stuff. Appreciate the comment.
