- Outback Queensland Road Trip from Winton to Emerald
This week we journey from the Outback to the Ocean, saying goodbye to Winton and travelling 600km to Emerald, in Queensland’s Central Highlands. We find out what it's like to camp in the Outback of Australia, Queensland.
We overnight in the sleepy town of Alpha, famous for its fossilised wood, and set up camp for a week at one of our favourite spots just south of Emerald, Lake Maraboon.
We spend days visiting the nearby Sapphire Gemfields, immersing ourselves in the history and culture of the area, exploring underground mines and trying our hand at fossicking for precious and beautiful gemstones! Will we find the big one?
We hope you and your family are safe and well, take care, and stay happy, healthy and hopeful!

We are an ordinary Australian family, creating extraordinary experiences. We've taken a leap of faith, packed up our lives, said goodbye to the 9-5 grind and hello to 24/7 - life as a traveling family!
Being complete caravanning newbies, we are hoping the experiences we share through our Family Travel Australia series will not only have an educational element, but will inspire you to take your own leap of faith, get outdoors and make memories that will last.
We live by the mantra "You don't need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step!"
I enjoyed this so much! I loved the story of the Rubyvale Gem Gallery!! You could feel Peter's genuine passion for mining sapphires and the lifestyle they created. It shows you anything is possible in this life! I have actually had the privilege of visiting this family and their business and you will never meet more genuine, caring people, excited to share their part of the world with you!
So true!! Peter and his family are a true inspiration and it was such a pleasure to spend time with them - all the best to you and your family this Christmas and thank you for taking the time to comment 💙😊
That’s got to be one of the best episode ever done we would love to go around with your family just beutiful
Thank you Greg! It was really awesome to spend time with Peter and hear his amazing story 😊
I like winton
We love it there 🇦🇺💙
That was a wonderful show again. The further west you guys travel, the more relaxed you look. I am always fascinated with flood depth gauges; when you look around and try and imagine the staggering amount of water that would be spread over the immediate and surrounding country, is always hard to get your head around.
That was a wonderful interview and life story with Peter Brown. He is just as passionate now as he was in the beginning, fantastic and inspiring to listen to.
Your coverage of the mine and mine head operation was a nice piece of work, congratulations. Hope you find a decent gem that Kate can wear with pride. I think she would have been reluctant to remove some of those she tried on in the shop. Thanks again for your efforts in putting this together and sharing, take care, cheers.
Thank you BigKev, Isn’t Peter and his family an inspiration! They offered me a 20 year layby on the ring she was checking out 😬🤣💙
@@TheFeelGoodFamily . . . . don't tell me you passed it up !!!!, if it's the one on the video, . . . . . that was nice !!. Selling a kidney probably wouldn't even raise a deposit !!!! :-))

Thank you Katherine - it was an awesome experience especially meeting Peter and his family!
Hey guys the AIATIS shop has indigenous maps of Australia. It would be really good to also refer to the Indigenous name of the part of the country you are visiting . A learning experience for everyone and a mark of respect for our First Nation people. Love your vids.
Great suggestion Lou and thanks for the idea!
You forgot to stop in Longreach. Qantas Museum & The Stockmans Hall Of Fame + heaps of other great stuff. ??
Yes you are right! We decided not to rush through in a couple of days and are planning on a dedicated trip back for a few weeks in Longreach, Barcaldine, Charleville and all the towns in between - we just need more time than we had this visit and want to do it all justice 😊👍 we can’t wait to experience Longreach!
Hi Guys just seen this video, great work. My wife and I have just come back from the outback. Winton / Ruby Vale and more. We were just like you with excitement of finding some gems.Have subscribed, looking at more vids, will follow, regards Russell.
Hi Russell. Thanks for taking the time to comment and thanks for your support! Hopefully catch you along the road sometime. Happy Trails! Paul, Katie & Jasper

I noticed something was missing... where are the flies outdoors that should have been annoying everyone?
🤣that’s true - it was very tame
