Yes ramble. Love to here your travels.
Sweet. Will do.
Another fantastic episode. Love the snorkelling shots. With everything you get up to I don't know how you find the time to put such great footage together. Well done.
Naw thanks Paul! Yep we like to keep busy, that's for sure!
Hi guys. Love hearing about your travels and the bit about yourselves. Would like to know more, like what work you do/used to do before travelling, how you are funding your trip, what you did with your house and packing to leave, how it is travelling with kids etc. people love to know all the nitty gritty bits. Keep enjoying your travels!
Hi Sue. Thanks for that. Ok, will try to share more of the nitty gritty :-)
What I loved in this episode was was Ace’s groovy song. He’s such a cutie 😊
Thanks Jennie. He sings it all the time. We love it too.
Loved the preview segment, looking forward to that one!
Cheers Derek. Whale Sharks - one of the best things we've ever done!
Awesome episode guys. FAV part of the episode was the snorkelling, epic wild life we have at our doorstep in Australia.
🍻
Cheers mate. YES! How good is the wildlife here!? Snorkelling just amazing here.
Agree… “Whale Sharks” ✌️…..it is interesting though to hear how people have managed to get where they are today.
Thanks Ray. Can't wait to show the whole whale sharks episode - yew! So many people travelling, and everyone with such different stories.
Love the drone footage, love the ramble and thanks for the Thermacell tip
Cheers Colleen
Another great episode loved watching it ,did the tooth fairy catch up with Em after such a brave effort. Enjoyed the rambling helped fill in your early entry into your big lap. Thanks for sharing your of the beautiful places that you are visiting
Hey Jim! Yes, the Tooth Fairy was quite generous I believe for Em's brave effort pulling it out - what a trooper hey?! She has another wobbly one now actually that also needs to come out. Thanks for following along mate.
Best part of the episode is the rambling
Cheers Jacki - we love a good ramble, so will keep them up :-)
Love you both so real and natural and relatable.
naw, thanks Ricky!
Still catching up.
Another great episode.
thanks mate!
Very easy to watch, enjoy watching and seeing the CP’s and the tourist attractions you go to. Great work
Thanks Kerry.
Really enjoy watching your travels, especially the in car sing alongs. Please keep the episodes coming, learning about you guys is welcomed and interesting.
Thanks so much Jason - appreciate the comment and support. The car singalongs, a lot of fun. The kids know the words to a lot of our favs now!
Love this episode. Loved the Quobba blowholes and surrounding area when we were there in 2013. Brings back great memories of our time on the west coast. Swimming with the whale sharks was the most amazing experience.
HI Lyn. Can't wait to share our whale shark day with you in the next episode. Agree, it was absolutely amazing hey?! SOOOO grateful to have done that.
You guys are doing great job like all video so far
cheers Gary, appreciate it :-)
Great episode. Loved the snorkelling at Coral Bay. Ace is a legend!
Cheers Kevin.
Love your episodes! Just a laid back family enjoying your lap around Australia. I love Ace's new song especially when the crab was added to the lyrics 😂
haha thanks Simone! We are constantly singing and adapting that song!
Great episode. I loved the tent for the kids. What a great idea to carry their own cubby house!
Yeah they absolutely love the tent! Great for the adults to have the van to ourselves occasionally too!
Love the drone footage guys
cheers mate
Loved the chat at the end. I always love hearing about families journeys (the good and the challenging). We are planning a lap for 2023 so its great to hear.
2023 is not far away at all - awesome! Glad you're enjoying watching, we'll keep the chats going at the end :-)
More rambles. Fav part was the rambles. Interested to hear what got you over the line to do the lap. It must have been tempting to give up during the pandemic. All the best.
Glad you enjoyed the rambles :-) Will keep them coming. Yes it was tempting to give up during the pandemic, but man we're bloody happy we didn't as it ended up being the best year to travel. Will share more in the next episode.
that was interesting to see all the different options available . Noosa sounds the best !!
Cheers Brent. Noosa was awesome. Actually there haven't been that many places that we haven't liked to be honest! We've been ridiculously lucky with our timing.
Great video, we enjoyed the blowholes and the snorkeling being available so close to the beach.
Cheers Ray. Totally agree, that made it so easy for the kids to snorkel too as all they needed to do was step in.
Keep rambling,it’s interesting hearing your story
Cheers Stuart, will do :-)
Great episode, the best bit was definitely the cliff top chase after the drone, lol
Haha. Cheers Gus.
Great to hear your back story! Thanks for sharing! Love seeing the friendships you’ve made on your journeys! Cont wait to see the Whale Shark exciting day! 👏💫
Hi Jen. Cheers for that. Can't wait to show you the whale sharks - it was awesome!
Always love watching your videos, good for planning, informative, great song from Ace. Cheers
Thank you Wendy :-)
Loved seeing the blow holes! And a great idea about taking a tent for an extra play room especially when the weather isn’t that crash hot! Good episode guys! 👍🏻
Cheers Rebecca. Extra tent is a winner!
enjoyed the "rambling" and another great view
Cheers mate.
Great episode, It was good hearing your story. We are currently planning our lap for 2023. Funny you mentioned the fridge in car as my husband was just saying today we need a car fridge.
Hi Laura. Thanks for letting us know, we'll keep sharing our story in future episodes then :-) Some friends of ours watched the episode and said "we told you that a fridge is needed, as well as a diesel heater". Yep they were right about both. We have managed, but both would have been nice, 2023 will come around in no time. Exciting!!!
Love the.snorkling sites!
Cheers Paul. Awesome snorkelling spots here.
Love this episode. Love how real you guys are and show what life on the road is really like. you inspire us each episode to keep preparing for a lap 🥰🥰
Naw, thank you! What an awesome comment - we're trying to just be ourselves with the camera on, so that means a lot. Yes, keep preparing - it's amazing!
Hello Ebony and Danny! Yes I am finally trying to catch up. I love the blowholes! I never seen anything like that in my life. Ace is very creative with his songs. Now Emerald pulling her own tooth I got to give her credit as I always had my Grandmother do it by wrapping a piece of string around it. Now catching a fish with my bare hands well.... I love hearing about all of you and on how you came to go about caravaning. Safe travels!
Thanks Harry! Yes that episode was a lot of fun. Can't believe Emi pulled her tooth out. She's getting so much more confident in backing herself to do things since we've been travelling. Thanks for watching :-)
Great work... keep rambling ..love it.
Love all the places you show us...
Cheers Vince - we'll keep up the rambling :-)
“Praise the lord” for an awesome day. Really liked it when you said that! Travelling in nature, how good is it to be enjoying and experiencing all his creations up close.
Absolutely! Feeling very blessed x
@@onthewaughpath6552 all glory to him. We tend to praise his creation but not the creator? Not often enough. May the lord bless your travels and your family. I pray for the Health, well-being, safety and security of your family. In lord Jesus name I pray, Amen.
@@dantheman6159 Thank you so much Dan. God bless you!
Love the snorkeling the colours of the fish were amazing sounds like you are having a great time . Looking forward to seeing the whale sharks next time
We just love our snorkelling, and so lucky to be doing it out here. Amazing under the water here! And how good is technology that we can film it too!?
Great episode love watching you guys, we enjoy all the tips and do's and dont's, keep rambling.
Cheers Jacqueline, appreciate it.
Another fantastic episode guys! Loved the wrap at the end about your travels so far, keep it up!
Cheers Graeme, will do!
Love watching you guys and your chat session at the end.
Thanks for the support Sharynnoll - appreciate it!
Love this episode, it brings back memories of our trip in 2018. Can't wait to get back there. My favourate segment was the bit about nearly loosing the drone and the turtle footage.
Glad it brought back memories of 2018 for you :-) Such an awesome spot hey?! We can't wait to get back there already too!
Truly enjoying binging on your episodes of your travels round Australia! Your advice, tips & amazing photos & videos are so well presented & interesting. Since My husband passed, my sister Irene & I want to do the big lap next year, so are putting plans down & also wanted to bring along our small dogs. Mine is very quite & clingy plus will be 11 years by then & Irene’s puppy would just over a year & hopefully a bit more settled.
I love the places you get to see with your beautiful children, they are ever so sweet, brave & adventurously, so blessed to have amazing parents like you both. I realise we would find it hard to get into places were no pets allowed, including National Parks. I would love it if you could also drop some advice on your episodes to assist those that would love to travel with pet’s.
We thought for us it would be easier to have a camper van instead of towing a caravan, but after seeing your advice on doing a towing course & having access with a you can see more, so we are still not decided totally which way to go. You have definitely opened our eyes to many beautiful places!
Love your episodes & travels so getting back to watching your Coral Bay trip! Regards from Angeline & Irene, Perth WA 👍
Hi Angeline and Irene. Thank you for your beautiful message.
As you know, we don't travel with pets, but a few tips we can give - there is a family you may want to follow called 'Vet in a van'. They are obviously pet lovers and have good vids too. Towns Travel Oz travel with their 2 dogs too, you can find them on Insta and FB. HEAPS of people travel with dogs. You can often find dog sitters at caravan parks too who look after your dogs if you want to explore places that you can't get to with them.
Re campervan or caravan, The Feel Good life do a video on the pros and cons of both. You can still do a great lap and a lot of exploring in a campervan, so depends on how off-road you want to get to, and the other good thing is having the car available to drive with. But the campervan would be (I assume) easier to not have to hitch and unhitch at every place you stop.
Anyway, hope that helps. You will love it no matter what you end up doing. Enjoy!
we've just got back from 14 mile and Quobba 2 days ago. What a beaut place and thanks for the reminders. We are definitely going back hopefully next year. The sandflies can be nasty and leave a little festering sore if you're not careful.
Hi Colin. Awesome that you went there and get to go back next year. We were lucky to not get the sandflies. But you're absolutely right, if you scratch them they can scar. Hard to stop the kids from doing that.
Another great episode from you guys. Keep up the good work. We were there 3 years ago on our big lap and can't wait to get back there. Met a lot of people on the way and made some long lasting friendships. The drone footage is excellent, and that was a close call with the low battery.... Really enjoying your trip as it brings back fond memories for us.
Hi Michael. Cheers for that. So glad you're enjoying the vids and that they're bringing back fond memories. It sounds like you're planning to head off for another lap in the future? Yep, that was a close call with the drone. That would have been a disaster!
Enjoyed the rambling ending, it will be nice to know who you are. That fish! 🤣🦈
Thanks Amanda. Yep that fish was crazy!
Hi guys, great episode, loved the blowholes. Keep doing what you're doing, so interesting to watch while we prepare for our trip.
Thanks for that feedback Neil. Those blowholes went off. Glad the vids are helping while you prepare for your trip - that's great :-)
Great episode 🦋🐬
When you go on your adventure for the day,do you worry about the caravans
On there own,
Love the blowholes and the whole episode take care 🐬🦋🍷🍷🥂🥂🇦🇺🍺🍺
Hi Paul. Thanks for the comment, appreciate the feedback.
No we don't really worry about the van when we're exploring. Most places the van is parked with other people and caravans where people generally keep an eye on things for each other. We also have some security on it, so not too worried. You get a good feel for places too and don't leave it anywhere that feels unsafe.
@@onthewaughpath6552 that’s great because that is the one thing that worries me, but you are right you have a feeling about places,, I am stuck in Melbourne and we can’t get away at the moment but this time will pass and we will be on our family adventure. Keep safe and looking forward to seeing you with the Wale shark 🦈🐬🦋🇦🇺💖🌈🌈😎
Hang in there Paul - you'll be out exploring in no time.
Keep up the good work, The best part of your video was the Blowholes, I have been there when they really are pumping, I got a great shot approaching sundown, I like your down to earth videos, you have discovered great places, I mark them as favourites for my next trip north. Regards Tony, PS if you can get in check out Bulara station stay near the Exmouth Coral bay turn off heading north, try the damper made by the camp host and the cappuccinos on the veranda of the station homestead in the morning
Cheers Tony! Yes, we have actually stayed at Bullara now. Loved it there, great recommendation. Feel free to follow us on FB and/or Insta too if you're on those platforms as they show more of where we've been.
Absolutely awesome vid guys..
Naw thanks Dave xx
Keep rambling love hearing how you decided to do your trip :):):) keep up with the episodes love your channel
Thanks so much Kerri. Will keep the ramblings coming!
Enjoying watching your journey.
The snorkeling footage looked great (as does the rest of the videos).
Stay safe.
Allan Lewis.
Cheers Allan! We love our snorkelling, and what a spot for it!
Great vid guys. We loved our stay at Point Quobba too and was great hearing your background story.
Thanks guys!
Love the show
Cheers Peter.
Yes, please keep "rambling" as I enjoyed it. 🙂 It is a lovely region up there in WA. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. And finally, did the Tooth Fairy make a visit? 🤩
Hey mate. Yes! Tooth Fairy did make a visit. Think the Tooth Fairy was quite generous rewarding Emerald for pulling it out herself!
Yes, please ramble 😉 want to know the rest of the travel stories..
No worries, will do!
As Always, Best Video !! Best but Ace singing and doing his little jig and also the snorkelling, i’m petrified of sharks so i may not ever get to snorkel so i enjoy yours ❤️❤️
Thanks Louise. That's great to hear (not that you're petrified of sharks though of course!). Ebony is scared of sharks too - jaws has a lot to answer for!
@@onthewaughpath6552 yes my dad took me when premiered i was 9 that did it for me, but my favourite movie :) nawwws to eb’s ❤️
Love the chat. Keep talking.
Cheers mate :-)
Loved the talking , can’t wait to hear more. We hope to head off soon, if Covid allows.
Thanks Karen. Hopefully you'll be able to explore soon.
Awesome episode 👍🏻
Cheers guys, thanks for watching and commenting.
Liked the chats, keep them up
Cheers, will do :-)
Great episode guys, we enjoyed it, would love to know about all your prep for the big holiday 👍
Cheers Jackie, might even do a separate vid on that to help for planning.
Another awesome episode. Love hearing your story! Looking forward to the next part. Blowholes and kids in the tent for the win today. And the tid bits about products you use are really helpful too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jenny. Those blowholes were some of the best we've seen. And the kids would have the tent out at every camp spot if they could. Thanks for commenting :-)
Great episode guys 😊 The snorkelling looked amazing! Looking forward to lockdown ending in nsw so we can get out and start exploring. Keep the vids coming!
Hey Rachael. So sorry to hear you're stuck in lockdown in Sydney. So hoping things improve for you guys down there soon :-( Glad you're enjoying the vids and they're giving you future travel inspiration.
I really like your ability to adapt on the fly to caravan parks booked out, we'll free camp and found a great spot.
Cheers Gav. Gotta roll with it. It took us a while to get that attitude when we started though!
Very cool vlog there, dropped a like! :)
Cheers guys!
Great vid guys! 😊
Cheers guys
Love the ramble, we are currently on our way up to Coral Bay 🏖
Oh how exciting! Enjoy it!
Great job guys going to have to learn to snorkel now water is so clear hope we cross paths somewhere next year
Yes definitely. Wait until you see the snorkelling next episode - best snorkelling we've ever done anywhere on the lap. Turquoise Bay and Oyster Stacks, near Exmouth. AMAZING!!
Great to hear your story. Found you guys during Vic lockdowns, thanks for getting me through 🙌. We have just bought a camper van and planning to do some exploring in Vic soon!
You are more than welcome. Feeling for you guys on the East Coast in NSW and VIC. It's been a long 18 months in and out of lockdowns. We loved exploring in VIC. Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island, The Grampians, just to name a few. You'll love it!
Loving following your trip. We are doing WA next year from SA. Approx 6 mths hopefully that will be enough. Saving all of your suggestions great work. Keep safe.
Hi Trevor. 6 months for WA from SA would be perfect in our opinion. Long enough to enjoy but you won't be dragging your feet either. Exciting!
great episode guys cant wait to see more im getting some ideas for when we start our lap in 2025
Hi Carl. That's great. Sooooo many places to see when you do your lap in 2025. How long are you planning to go for?
Thanks guys 👏🏻 nice yap at the end 😂surprised you haven’t got a fridge we went with the cfx 50 in the back fantastic size , thought it might have been a bit big but great for groceries run as well. Safe travels
Thanks mate, will keep the yapping up then :-) Yep, we definitely need to get the fridge situation sorted - yes, would be great for groceries too!
@@onthewaughpath6552 and may fit a block of 30 cans 😇
Loved the getting to know you part, be interested in your prep stage and how you managed time off from jobs etc...
Thanks Cath. Will try to add some of that info in a future rambling stage :-)
What did you do for work before the trip keep up good coverage we enjoyed it have fun Lou& Jo
Hi Lou & Jo. Will let you know what we did for work before the trip in the next episode. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching :-)
Hi guys, Erika and I are enjoying your episodes. We are very jealous as we were planning on departing for our trip this month but...🙄
We would love to catch up on the road when we eventually get out of the mountains and we love the song adaptation as that's something our boys do too 😊
Hey Sam! We were just thinking about you guys the other day and wondering whether you started pre-covid or were stuck in lock-down. Are you planning on leaving as soon as lock-down ends now? Yeah we'd love to catch up too - would be great to hang out :-)
@@onthewaughpath6552 we are currently waiting on council to inspect our property for our occupation certificate. As soon as that happens we should be able to start. Hopefully we will see you before the end of next year😁. Also Erika has commented on how much better the condition of your grammar hoodie is 😄
@@samcoxhead8180 that's awesome! Sounds like it's all falling into place then. LOL re the hoodie. My fav jumper.
Hey guys
Loving your vids
Just have a comment about Danny cooking on the Weber, he needs to learn how to cook on it correctly , so that he doesn’t burn everything
(Put the lid down)
Cheers Paul
Hi Paul. Haha, he doesn't burn everything, though it would seem that way from the footage! He's a pretty good cook and we like our food well done :-)
Hi just watched your video. Please can you send me the list of what you need to go travelling. Thanks heaps
Lorraine and Martin.
Hi Lorraine and Martin. No problems. Can you please send us an email at onthewaughpath@gmail.com and we'll reply with the list? Cheers.
Hi Looks like you are all having a great time in the west.
We have a question for you. We have just sold our OKA motorhome and are buying a 5.9mtr caravan we have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel. Do you have any problems towing your van?
Hi mate. We love our Jeep, we've not had any problems with it. It's very powerful and a great tow vehicle. Our van is 19.6FT and about 3T. In saying that, our Jeep model is 2019. We heard rumours that some before 2016 had some issues. But, again, that's just rumours which normally can't be trusted. We're glad they didn't stop us from getting ours. You've probably already looked at this but just check the towing capacity of the 2016 model, and also how much it can handle in total (towing weight, plus weight of the car fully loaded too). Good luck!
Hello gorgeous team, blowholes...have you been to NZ❓particularly Rotorua😱
Hi Helen-Maree. We have been to NZ - we got engaged in Queenstown, so it holds a special place in our hearts :-) Haven't seen the blowholes at Rotorua though, will have to check them out next time!
