- Hey everyone! We are back on the road full time travelling australia!
We have some 12v fridge issues in our Roadstar caravan but are able to fix it quickly. Were staying at Cape Palmerston and explore the beach which is walking distance away. We then head to Finch Hatton (1 hours from Mackay) while we explore the area and are staying at the showgrounds alongside cattle creek which is perfect for a dip. Bryce is straight into digging a nice little water hole to relax in and we go exploring near some water crossings. A quick exploration to Araluen Cascades for a cool refreshing waterfall swim.

Just a tip for you guys. Get rid of the three way fridge and install a 240volt compressor fridge. Cost around 30% of a 12/240 volt fridge. Run it off the inverter full time. I have a 225 litre fridge and it uses on average 4.5 amps per hour including inverter draw. Over night uses 57amps all up. Install another lithium and new fridge about half cost of 12/240 fridge. Ps uses 57 amps at 12 volts over night. Cheers
Yeah good thinking that could be an option for later down the track! Thanks mate!
...i think i have a man crush on Bryce its the dad bod vibe. Chelz, you cant be scared of roos on a lap of Oz trip...that pool dive was a six and that's being generous
We spent a week at Finch Hatton showgrounds and it was great. Had the best caretakers as well
Great spot! 👍🏽👍🏽
It is one of our favourite places.
Such a nice spot!
wow very interesting experience friend
😃 thanks for watching
welcome@@CaravanAdventureAus
Thanks for sharing and take care :)
Thanks 👍🏽👍🏽
I went to Jaycar and bought a computer fan and installed it behind the upper vent with a switch inside to exhaust the heat. Plus we bought a little shade awning that shades the fridge if the sun hits it. Made a huge difference.
Hey! Yes we’ve seen both done before. Great ideas 👍🏽👍🏽
Great to see you three again we must say once again you two have done a fantastic job with raising the little baby just beautiful
Thank you so much! 🫶🏼
Great video as always. I don't envy you in that heat, but the weather (apart from the storms) looks great all the same. Stay cool, stay safe and avoid the cyclone coming.🥵
Yes it is very warm but so beautiful in the fresh water 🫶🏼 thanks for watching

We just completed a 4 week trip through western Queensland to Karumba and then on to the east coast around the Daintree to Townsville all the time we had issues with the 3 way fridge. Average temperature 36 degrees.
We have bit the bullet and changed the 3 way out for a 12 volt compressor fridge
I had to add another lithium battery so we can spend more time off grid
Cost us around $1500 all up doing the installation myself new fridge is 165 litres the old one was 168 litres
Testing it now and all seems good so we will now head off on a lap with peace of mind knowing that the fridge will hold temperature.
Happy travels we always look forward to your videos keep up the good work
Thats awesome to hear, always nice to hear good reviews on things, we would love to but not right now, maybe if we upgraded our van we would go that route for sure, I love the idea of a compressor fridge 👍🏽 nice work doing it yourself 👌🏽
Thanks Guys, as always another great video .7/10 for the dive ! Thanks for sharing, Keep em coming. 👍👍🍻🍻
Thanks for the 7/10 👍🏽😂

Another great video guys. I had a Scrub Python from up there years ago. He was captive bred from a wild caught female (prior to protection) and live for just over 30 years. For such a big snake, almost 6 metres, he was very docile. I used him for educational displays and kids just loved him.
Hey Rob! That sounds cool 🐍
Lovely spot, watch out for the cyclone coming !
Keep safe.
Thanks so much for watching!
Yes keeping an eye on it for sure 👍🏽 we are around Airlie at the moment
5 for the dive as the legs were left to drag creating too much splash 😂
Haha I’ll work on it Rick 😂
Thanks for watching mate
You have done such a good job with Juice well done

Loving the drone footage and Chelsea I think you should do a dive and Bryce score you next time. 😮😂xx
Haha mine will be 10/10 😂
Awesome spot guys. Which water shoes do you use please? Ours take forever to dry
Hey! They are Aleader shoes 👍🏽
Keep up the good work, our fridge is a Tropical rated 3 way, it has a T prefix on the label inside the fridge, we fitted 2 computer fans bottom sucking fresh air in, top blowing hot air in, definitely helps on super hot humid days, I only have 2 120 AGM so normally run on gas when free camping, 240 when at CVP, I use 12 volt only when travelling using the car alternator via very heavy cables via Anderson plugs plus I bumped up the factory Jayco wring to the back of the fridge, in addition I use a Engel wireless thermometer to see how the fridge is going, plus i always keep the fridge full to the brim with long life milk as a cold mass, take excess milk out when need space for food
Regards
Tony
Yeah thats the way to go! We had fans on our last van but might need to look into get some for this van too! Definitely makes a massive difference 👍🏽
Hi, love your utube channel. What is the brand of your waterproof shoes you mentioned
Hey thanks for watching! They are aleader shoes 👍🏽
Hi guys,
Love following your travels.
Interested in your water shoes.
Are they Aleader brand? Thanks.
Hey Kath! Yes the brand is Aleader
@@CaravanAdventureAus thank you 😊
Install 2x computer fans high up on the rear of your fridge so that hot air can be sucked out by the fans. Obviously the fans need to be behind an external vent. That solves the problem.
Good thinking! We've heard good things about doing that, might need to look into it! Cheers mate
what are the name of your shoes and where do you get them
Hey! They are Aleader and just online
Going on prices juice first Bryce second and Chelsea last
🤣
