Thanks guys for sharing. We are doing the same in a few weeks time, so your info was helpful. Cheers
Thanks for watching Allen, good to hear it does help.
Appreciate the feedback
Ken and Julie
Telstra and Belong are the only way to go in remote areas. No other companies come close.
Excellent vid with great information. You guys are making some great vids
Thanks Charlotte, we've always appreciated your feedback, thanks for following us on our journey and we are very happy to have shared our travels with you.
Ken and Julie ❤️
I’m guessing you’re close to home or back at home by now. Will you continue to travel?
About 4 weeks from home now, will be home a couple of months, then we will do some smaller, more direct trips, plenty to see and do in NSW and Queensland for a while.
Thanks Charlotte.
Hi Ken and Julie , this is the first time I have watched your videos , it was great ! You are doing what I would love to do caravan across Australia . Thank you for all the information and also the videos showing me what it is really like , it looks amazing ! Ken you are a real statistics man just like my Dad . He always used to write everything down and also keep a track of all the stats at the local footy game in Donnybrook . Looking forward to following your trip . Have a wonderful time .😀🌞
Thanks so much Kay, its great to hear from first time viewers, and we really do appreciate your feedback.
Hope your turn comes soon to travel and enjoy this great country.
Thanks for watching

Hi Ken and Julie, it was great to meet up with you in Esperance. Our biggest cost occurred on the Nullarbor. A bird flew into the car and damaged our aircon. Just one of the many pleasures of being on the road.
Thanks Heather and Steve, its always great to catch up with fellow youtubers and exchange thoughts.
I've watched a couple of your video's now and i'm envious of your commentary.
We ran into the other couple we met when we met you guys, on the Bunda cliffs, a couple of days back.He wanted to put the drone up but it was blowing a gale.
I look forward to seeing more of your adventures, thanks for watching
Ken and Julie
Thank you. Yes, that gentleman did get his drone up after you left. All went well until he tried to catch it in his hand, it bounced off his hand and tumbled along the ground for a bit.
thanks for sharing! It has been really interesting watching your videos. My family and I are planning our trip for next year!
Thanks for watching, hope your travels go well next year.

On our recent trip crossing the Nullarbor we had very similar numbers. It certainly make a difference to fuel usage when travelling into a headwind our worst was also around 20 litres per 100 km. 2018 model Isuzu towing 2.6 tn. Very informative vid thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Thanks Sep, good to know other traveller's numbers, appreciated.

Lovely Ep
Thanks Craig, appreciated.
Thank you that was great. I am surprised with the lack of mobile coverage.
Hi Leon, so were we, we crossed the nullarbor 8 years ago and thought things would have improved.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching.

Hi Ken & Julie…
Thanks for an informative episode. We are planning the same crossing next May so I’ll take note of the expensive locations and with a 140ltr tank I can hopefully use the extra capacity to bypass the expensive fills. So far we have seen 15.8 - 20.9 l/100k with our V6 Ranger.
I know what you are saying about the “wind wall”, particularly when the trucks approach from behind… I communicate with the trucks via my UHF where possible and once they have pulled out to pass I ease back and reduce speed and when they are along side I “gently” apply the accelerator so as to barely increase speed but just to pull my combination “tight” and I hardly even feel them passing using this technique.
If I do overtake I “never” do it on even a slight downhill grade as my combination is then loose and many van rollover videos I have seen have been overtaking down hill.
I’ll re-watch this episode and plan out our fuel stops… thanks.
Graeme
Thanks Graeme, some great tips there, 145lt tank should serve you well accross the Nullarbor, no having to fill up through the middle.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching.
Ken & Julie
Are you taking the fuel figures on the cars computer or do you work them out your self?
I find there's a difference from what the cars computer says and what I work out on paper by using a fuel consumption app. Scangauge I fond is more of a realistic figures and there is not more than 1 to 3 ltrs different from the SG and what the app says.
Figures read out on the dash I most often higher than both the SG and the app
Put km and lt into fuel app everytime i fill up.
Thanks for watching
