The secret with Kale, is to chop it really fine, it's easier to scrape off your plate into the Bin .
LMAO! Perfect...
This did make me laugh but in saying that is so weird how they can actually taste like chips.
Spot on
Yep 7 out of 700 😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 so good.
You really are a lovely family and i get soooooo much enjoyment watching your videos.
Thank you so much 😊
Congrats Finny on the big boy bike ride 👏🏼
Thank you so much 🤠
Nice to have you on the road again. Your boys will turn into real dinkum Ozzie blokes one day. Unlike a lot of the namby baby one meets nowadays. I recon that you're bringing the up just right. Good on you guys
😂😂 we know what you mean! Haha
It’s so nice to be back on the road again! Especially in the outback (:
Its amazing to hear how hard our ancestors had it and the stories surrounding them. Again its amazing how they etched a living out of this red barren land....tough as nails they were!
It was great to see your boys having their lil input into your vlogs too.
We are so incredibly lucky hey! So much has changed over the years (: thank you for watching 🤠
More great laughs from the Elnick crew. Love watching your travels and crazy antics.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Jason! (:
Omg 😂 u 2 are so funny and such a good sense of humor 😂 . Love the show 😊
Appreciate the support! Thank you! (:
Thanks guys for another awesome video... you will have to show us through your new caravan.
Thank you! Yes we will for sure (: we just wanted to test everything and get used to it so we can give you all an honest feedback etc (:
Love all the ventures but it is also refreshing to see kids that aren't wrapped in sanitised cotton wool.
They are defo not 😂 thanks for watching 🤠
I seriously love these vlogs and channel! Its so good to just hear true blue wifey/husband banter and adventures 😂.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate you taking the time to comment (: means a lot
Must agree inland WA has so many places to explore and yet nearly everyone sticks to the coast. Winter it is so green and the camping is epic. Glad you went out there and finding a balancing rock on top of these places makes you wonder. Cheers.
Totally agree! We love the outback, the camps and the history it’s amazing (: thank you for watching 🤠
Right from the start, loved this episode. Finny with the farm animals, I truly hope he becomes a vet or a farmer, he’s definitely got a passion for it. You are all so wonderfully humble, so happy we stumbled upon you a couple of years now. Cheers Marg 💛
Yes he LOVES animals (: he has such a big heart! (: thank you so much for watching 🤠
So good to see you out in the wheatbelt with the coast just packed during school hols . Maybe a bit hot but no doubt cool nights . Another true Elnick episode , so entertaining . You can just imagine the views when the crops are full especially the canola in August /Sept .there are so many granite rocks in the wheatbelt .
Yes we will have to go back then 🤘 Thank you for watching 🤠
Really enjoying your videos. Lovely to see such a lovely family enjoying our great country.
Thanks so much! 😊
Great viewing new van looks good on the dirt on our way to pick the colours for the new Dakar good to see your back having fun stay safe Greg and Jacqui
Oh hope the colour picking went well! I felt that was the hardest part 😂 thanks for the support guys (:
Again another awesome show, thanks guys. You really need to show us through your new Caravan, with all the ins and outs…
Yes we will be , we are using everything and getting used to it all so we can give you all honest reviews on everything (: thank you!
Awesome, thanks for the laughs 😂
thoroughly enjoyed it👏
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you (:
cool vid guys a true ozzy family if ever .no more up short pics of big boy hey crumbed sausage v chico roll ???
😂😂😂😂 one of the best comments hahaha (: thanks for watching 🙌
Probly 24 v system on the truck. And 12 volt jump pack. Why have you got kings shit anyway. 😅😅. Go hard love you guys. How goods Ollie on the bin eating an apple. Gold
So am I better taking my gf to arb? Opposite lock? Tjm? Lol
He’s growing up fast aye !! We have a 24v jump start coming the little kings one is for the boat 🤠
fantastic video guys ,thanks for sharing ..and your new van looks pretty cool so far..
hey Elenya i find with kale the best way to prepare is to use lots of oil..it slides into the bin easier 🤣 safe travels xx
😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t believe the boys liked them , especially Nick (: thank you for watching (:
On my F350, I have a permanently mounted 20 watt solar panel mounted just above the driver to keep the house battery fully charged for just your moment lol, mine has a built in PWM regulator under it, so good.
Might have to look into this Peter ! Thanks for watching 👍
While I come from WA I have never done the wheatbelt way loving your journey for me I am sitting on the Menindee lakes taking photos keep up the fantastic vloging ❤
Oh another beautiful spot! We loved the Wheatbelt way! Appreciate the support 🤠
Another amazing Video, you Guys just make me Smile.
So glad!! Thank you for watching 🤠
Love watching you guys and your boys are just gorgeous.😊
Thank you so much!🤠
I sometimes have a hard time understanding some people but I always seem to get Bigboy and huge, that comes through clear every time. Camper vans need to be fixed from the day you buy them till you sell it. Just part of owning one. Your boys need a puppy to play with. That water retention tank built on the big rock was an awesome idea. Stay safe and healthy.
Oh wow no to a puppy! Finley would love it but we have our hands full with the 3 boys 😂 thank you for the support 🤠
Really enjoyed that ep guys thank you 🍻🍻🍻
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! (:
Something you can do with the jump pack so it always charged set up a alarm on your phone , say every month and a half ,maybe twice on the date you pick so if you miss the first alarm you will hear the second one , plug it in for bit .On my LG phone there is a calendar in my alarm settings ., I use it all the time for reminders . So next time you need to use the jump pack it won’t be dead .
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that tip 🙌
New van is looking mint
Well done team👍
Those yards were cool
The yards were awesome (: so much history behind them (: thanks for watching 🤠
So enjoyed this episode, just loved the kids loved the views so good . Love you guys 💞💞👍🏼😁
Thanks so much🤠
Another awesome vid guys, its great to see you all having so much fun as a family. We lived in the wheatbelt and goldfields for years and there is sooo much to see and do with no one else around and all free camping , neat country. The golden Heritage Trail is also a great trip to see. Keep it up. We pick up out ute and van in a month or two and will be back out that way for sure 👍
Thanks so much! The Wheatbelt and Goldfields are amazing 🙌 thanks for watching 🤠
Love your travels guys, stay safe
Thank you! Appreciate the support (:
Great video guys looks awesome out there cheers legends 😎
Thank you! Cheers!🙌
Such a awesome ep and places well done guys,
Thank you so much (:
thanks for showing us the places no one goes to hopefully its like that for me when I eventually get there keep showing the off the track places
Will do! Thank tou(: we prefer exploring those places less travelled (:
@@elnick.adventures great to hear. More please. Lol
Looks like you found the good bits of WA out there after your disappointments of the southwest... Thanks so much for sharing!
The golden outback has been amazing (: we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country (:
That was such an amazing video. In so many ways …..
loving the different perspectives on this place. So good to see something different on CZcams 🤩🥳😎
Totally impressed guys ….
🍻🍻😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment (:
I know its a bit late to tell you, but although I haven't got a caravan yet, on the Tow vehicle with the Auxiliary Battery system, I installed a CTEK Dc/Dc charger with MPPT /Smartpass. When the Solar panels have initially charged up aux batteries, then it pulse charges the Starter Battery. Also it will boost up the starter battery from the Aux Batteries when the Starter Battery is flat.
19:25 - You know the saying in caravanning- 'Everything should have two purposes'? Nicks Undies fit the bill!😂
Thanks for that 🤘 legend!
Wow!!! I didn't know of this area. We are yet to travel WA, it's in the planning process and will certainly add this to the list. Thank you for sharing. Well done Finney on getting your 'big boy' wheels, there will be no stopping you now😊 Enjoy your week.
Oh its a beautiful area of WA (: thank you for watching 🤠
You guys make the best CZcams videos, we love watching you. So glad you are enjoying our state, especially the Wheatbelt way which has so much - including unfortunately the flies…. I am pretty sure the lake you are camped at in the closing is out at Southern Cross. We camp there often on our way to the Aurora Ranges which is a hidden secret in itself. Happy and safe travels. PS. I hope parents are taking notes of the way you bring up your boys. They are going to grow into fine young men who can accomplish anything thanks to you two.
Thank you so much sue! The boys have so much fun on the road and continually learn so much (:
Yes that’s the one! It’s an AWESOME spot! 🙌
Thanks again for your great work respect and stay safe out there 😂❤🎉
Thanks so much 🤠
Awesome as Always. Keep ‘em coming
Thanks! Will do!🙌
Loved this episode. Looking forward to the walk through of your new caravan 🙂
Coming soon! Thank you (:
Great fun as always guys, had more than a few chuckles along the way, always look forward to your episodes, catch ya next time 🤙🤙
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much 🙌 see you next week! (:
Well done I loved watching the episodes keep up the great job I have to laugh every time the cooking shows come up love watching you all

Thanks so much Shaun! Legend 🙌
Bloody love your adventures and that they’re just a little bit different and real!
Thanks so much! 🙌 appreciate the support
Great video. We did the wheatbelt way in spring. We’re really surprised what it had to offer. So beautiful with crops and fields of canola.
Yes we are defo going to have to go back in the spring (: the wheatbelt was beautiful! We’d go back for sure (:
Very interesting, great episode. We had a unique accommodation business in rainforest where we would get some field mice in the chalets. We would give guests non killing traps and then we would “humanely take care of them” Guests thought they were so cute and would just let them loose outside their chalet door & all the mice would do, would be run back to how they got back in 😂 🙈. Have a great week & great work Finn on the big bike ❤
😂😂 yes they are pretty cute and we felt bad but we knew he would come back (:
Great idea for your guests though! (:
Thank you for watching 🤠
Thanks again for sharing another top episode.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment (:
Donny Dakar - great vid as always . Glad to see u r enjoying our beautiful WA and can’t wait till u get to do the ningaloo coast up to Broome ❤
Thanks so much! So many beautiful spots to explore (: we can’t wait to get up north (:
Well guys what a great kid episode and Ollie has become the real little man. Love the new van, if this is your first airbag van we are sure you will love it, we could not believe the difference going from springs to bags. It's about time you got that boat wet again Nick or it'll get dry rot in it ??
Yes first time with airbag suspension and it’s sooooo easy isn’t it 😂 yes I know! We are eager to get her back in the water 🙌 the trips are getting closer and closer (:
Thanks for watching 🤠
you guys make my Friday night... thank you
Aww thanks so much! Hope you have a good weekend 🙌

Never a 10/10 just yet! But you wait! It will come one day 😂😂😂 patience is the key ahhaha
Thanks so much for supporting us! (:
You’ve already won the battle with the mouse,but an old fella once told me, after I wouldn’t stop whinging that my traps were broken,to burn the cheese with a lighter a bit or the thing that worked for me was pumpkin seeds jammed on the spike thing, I turned into the great white hunter overnight
😂😂 legend! Thanks for that! (:
Really loved this episode 👌
Thank you so much 💕
Pretty sure the swatting undies is what attracted the flies 😂
Thanks for the share 😎🤙
Hahahah that’s a possibility hahahha (:
Awesome video, 😀
Thanks 😁
Hey guys my wife and l just love watching you guys ❤ just a suggestion you might like to purchase a itech JS80 3000 amp portable jump starter and back power bank, very powerful will start a 10 litre diesel engine, top quality, our unit has saved our bacon many times they are based in Perth they are currently on special. Take care Mark and Kerrie
Thanks so much for sharing (: we Will have a look (:
Im in Bunbury, shout out if you need anything when youre out this way
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it 🤠
If you're ever in innamincka Down By The Creek there is a road with a concrete causeway there are rocks where the water flows over when you sit there you can actually catch little fish by hand and yabbies On The Rocks and the rocks are about baseball size or a bit bigger specially there to stop fish going too far upstream
Thank you so much for sharing (: appreciate it (:
Thanks for sharing. Another fantastic episode. Loved seeing the boys on the bikes, well done. Elenya, how was your back after carrying Ollie in the carrier?
Thank you for watching 🙌 yes my poor back is used to the weight nowadays hahaha (:
Hi guys, this was a bit different out in the wheat belt. To me it looked very relaxing and a great place for the boys to get tired by riding there bikes and having fun. But the bloody flies all over ya dinner🤬🤬but great in the cooler months with the rains and nice and green. Well Elenya I’m not sure about cooking your bush 🥴 😊it looked a bit extreme to me I’m sure there must be better ways to go about it.mind you what ever tickles your fancy🤣🤣 looking forward to the look around your new van. See you next week take care and thank you guys. Jon 🇦🇺
😂😂😂 Jon! Yes you have to give it a trim and handle it with care 😂 yes the flies over dinner is extreme, we have spent many nights in the van now as they are super annoying 😎 thanks for the support!
I can't wait to explore the wheat belt myself 🔥👌
Yay Finley, but ya gotta keep looking where you're riding 😂
Hope you've recovered from your lock-jaw Elenya after the big girth you're not used to on that snag!!!! 🤣🤣 And I'm with Nick, nobody likes bush on kale 😊
Love the battle with the mouse 🤪🤙 little 💩 got him finally!!!!
😂😂 every week your comments make us laugh! The things you pick up in our episodes haha (: appreciate the support!(:
Thanks again my fave family :)
You are so kind! Thank you (:
Mummy never gave dried vegetables like that .sister I will give you a nine.
😂😂 thank you (:
I feel so ashamed coming from Perth that I haven't even seen these amazing places that you have showcased. Thanks for an awesome vid guys and kidZ. BTW, what was that app you used earlier in the vid?
Glad you enjoyed it!(: it’s a beautiful spot to explore (: just type in Wheatbelt way in your App Store on your phone and it should come up (:
Glad you enjoyed it!(: it’s a beautiful spot to explore (: just type in Wheatbelt way in your App Store on your phone and it should come up (:
Great episode. Nothing worst then a freeloader 🤣 we had one in our van.
😂😂 there’s always one hahaha
Get yourself a can of Bushmans there are two types of Bushmans green can and a creamy one or green lid and red lid both are good they keep all mosquitoes including midges and flies you can spray it on your clothes on your face so the Flies don't annoy you and if you spray some around the edges of the openings such as windows and doors no ants or spiders will enter your van happy travels
Yes we need to invest in them! Thank you (:
Those kings jumper packs are hopeless I bought an itech world and never looked back! Possibly look into one of them guys
Oh really! We’ve used it a few times and has worked really well but i think it’s time to invest in a newer one (:
My father-in-law was a jackaroo he told me when he was alive that he use to bite the testies of the sheep.
Yes we’ve heard that from a lot of locals in the areas (: crazy hey! Thanks for watching 🤠
Love you guys, such a joy to watch, another awesome episode. What app were you referring to in the early stages of the video. Looked similar to wiki camps.
Thank you so much (: just type in Wheatbelt way and it will come up to download (:
Another great episode
Thank you 🙌
Thanks
Thank you so much! Appreciate the support 💕
Nick the mouse slayer 😂😂
😂😂😂 the poor old mouse had no chance (:
I enjoyed it. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you (:
How long did you spend doing the wheatbelt way? I think I said on Facebook that we cut our trip short. Having another watch of this video as we are hoping to stay at Swan Hill next month
Possibly just over 1 week (can’t remember exactly) (: oh yes swan hill is great (:
Where did you guys get your fire pit from??
Online at tentworld (: it’s a winnerwell fire pit (:
great vid
Thank you for watching 🤠
Hahaha the flies are shit! We usually have the Dyson in the cab when we travel and suck ‘em up with that if we do a stop and they get in. Same in the van at night aha
😂😂😂 will try that 🤘 bloody flies 😂🪰
Awesome 💯🇦🇺
Thank you! Cheers!
Kale chips are the best looks crunchy just the way it needs to be
Yes they are surprisingly good 🙌 thanks for watching 🤠
So much for quality control I would have thought that everything would have to be checked on a van must have been tried and tested before delivery especially an expensive van like yours
Things happen with every new van! Just teething issues (: thanks for watching 🤠
Great episode guys- how do you find the winnerwell fire pit? What size did you get?
Large and we love it! (: flat pack, super light and just great for our travels (:
Have you fixed the boat trailer. Another great vid
Yes she is all fixed and ready to go (:
Q.how long are you allowed to stay in a free camp
It’s depends on each free camp (: sometimes they have a limit (: be sure to do your research (:
Nice area in WA. Thanks for sharing.
What made the truck batteries go flat so quick?
We think it’s the dcdc charger not cutting off with low voltage (: thanks for watching 🙌
Love your adventures. Could you please tell me what map system you use with all the points of interest. Thank you.
Hi Lynette it’s just an app called ‘Wheatbelt way’ (:
@@elnick.adventures thank you
Go there in spring time
We will Defo be going back in the spring with the wildflowers (:
Nick just wondering how's the battery system in the Dakar working.
Hi Jacqui (: so far so good! Just getting used to it all (:
Thanks for the Dakar run down today Nick on the air, and disc brakes, hope the boys liked the ice cream.
Nick - get ur self a Noco gb150 3000a jump pack , Supercheap or bcf 💯🔥👌 . Will jump my truck same as urs no drama let me know n I’ll send u further details to make thing better
Legend thanks so much mate! (: if you have time flick us a message (: appreciate it (:
Are you coming to Kalgoorlie ???
Yes we will be eventually (: thanks for watching 🤠
It NEVER ceases to amaze me how and why people WHO when buying new equipment fro their lives always, ALWAYS FAIL to read their manuals!!! Especially for their new cars, which are the MOST complicated electronic things ever produced in 2024!!!!
It gives me the shits actually. I wish you guys would wear fly nets, it aggravates me watch the flies all over you. If you get the large mesh ones we could still see your faces... You could always light up the bush Tele at night!
Excellent episode again this week, It's great to see you shaking down the new van! All the best with it for the coming years!!!
Totally agree (: we couldn’t find our fly nets but eventually found them a ‘ safe spot’ in the new van 😂 yes the flies are super annoying (:
Thanks for watching and the support (:
@@elnick.adventures Thanks for putting out the content!
Hey can you borrow my 24 yo daughter and teach her to ride a bike???🤭🚴🏻♂️
Funny episode✔️
I have to add…there aren’t really many episodes without🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰
Hahaha it’s tough work 😂
Yes the flies are shocking! 🪰 but we found our fly nets 😂 so we have enjoyed it a lot more now (:
🇿🇦♥️♥️💙💙💙
Thank you for watching 🤠
Any doublegees at Karen's farm stay? You haven't been to WA if you haven't walked on a doublegee 😆😆
Nah caltrops are worse!
