- THE NULLARBOR!!! What else do we need to say??!! We were fretting, how were we going to tackle 1400+km from Ceduna to Norseman... with 2 young kids (one ASD, ADHD!)????
We are a full time traveling family, towing our Maverick Viper 13 Caravan with our trusty 4x4 Triton; we are fully self-sufficient to off-grid camp.
This road trip actually turned out awesome! We had the best time, yes it took us way longer than anyone else, but we found the most amazing campsites. Some way off the beaten track. Some with horrible corrugations, but all worth it.
Follow along on our journey, how we manage travel with 2 young kids and the campsites we find.
Please say hi, and let us know about your travels.
PS If you don't want to publicly comment re kids, feel free to message on Instagram privately if you want to discuss anything travel with ASD kids, happy to have a chat. IG @margieandtim
Doing it right I reckon, so many people just zip along the Nullarbor. Doesn't matter how long it takes. Looks like you're having a great trip, cheers
We've seen so many more sights with the kids than what we probably would have seen if just Tim and I drove it, been fantastic stopping and exploring everything :) cheers
We’ve been watching your content for a few weeks now and really enjoying it. We live at Port Augusta and looking at doing the same spots on the Eyre Peninsula you have been. It’s been super helpful.
Just another 3-4 weeks before we get our hybrid caravan. Can’t wait.
Thanks for all you do.
How exciting!!! Thanks so much, feel free to msg any questions about the campsites, we've been to plenty others also that we haven't shown here too :)
You guys are so chilled and patient. It looks like you are having a wonderful adventure, and taking your time to see the sights. I love those drone shots from above.
Thanks heaps :)
Great video again love the information you put in them, will be very interested in the fuel consumption as I have a MITSUBISHI MQ . Happy Travels to you and family 🤗🤗
thanks very much :) Iwe'll do a chat video in the next week or so (pending kids!!) and cover all details. let us know if there's anything else you'd like us to add in :)
I love the way you show us how you set up the camper 😊 ! You make it look so easy 😊
Haha thanks, lots of practise now!
2.00 pm - 100kms to go - not sure if you're going to make it before night fall?? Hope that was meant to be a joke! Yes, the Nullarbor is an amazing stretch of landscape with more to see than most people think. Enjoy the veggies before hitting the border!!
Haha!! Yea, we plan a bazillion stops!! 🤣 kids did really good thou, so was quicker than expected! :) thank you, it's just a beautiful spot here :)
Another enjoyable vid looking forward to you’s coming into the best state WA and see what you’s think of her
We're really looking forward to exploring, and so far it's been amazing!! :)
Another great video! How cool are the windmills where you stopped!! Stunning views overlooking the cliffs! Eeek that track at the end is tiiiiiight!! We travelled once after tea with the kids asleep when we needed to go a longer distance & knew that the views wouldn't be that great! Your kids are doing great with the travels! We found that our 3 kids gradually adjusted to spending more time in the car travelling. Looking forward to the next installment & what happened with the storm! We had a few of them around that time here. 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
Thanks so much:) that track was a fair bit tricky... but sooo good once we got there! The windmills were great!! :)
@@margieandtim 💕🐨
Great vid, hope to spot you guys somewhere around WA!
Thanks heaps, for sure well be around wa for a while I think! :)
love your posts the best on youtube
Thanks so much :)
Well done for the extra subscribers since I last saw ya, 😂. Was wondering, when u stay in towns etc, where do you put your caravan? Do you stay at a campsite or something? Cheers
Hey thanks!! :) we try to avoid towns where possible, but otherwise the cheapest possible! Overflow showgrounds have been good in the busier places, otherwise wikicamps low cost camps within 20kms of a town is also what we've found works well. Not too keen on leaving the van in a free side of the road camp site just in case - feels better when you have a camp host there for the $15/night. We generally do smaller quiet towns to fill water/dump etc and shop local. Thanks for watching, any questions please ask :)
keep going you will make it
Thanks for the positivity! 😁
Been watch you guys for a while, hey Tim would you do on the good and the bad things you have found with the Triton and what you would change 😊
Hey Rod, stay tuned! We're going to do a full review on the Triton, what we've changed, whats working and whats not in the coming weeks. But we're also going to do a chat video next week or so (pending kids!) which will go through a few things. Let us know anything in particular you'd like us to cover. Tim
Hey guys…@3.03min, make sure your safety chains are crossed. They aren’t in this shot.
Thanks for the tip, will check this next time :)
Hi, thanks for the freat video. Interested in your fuel economy I have the same setup as yours and would like to do that same route.
That's great! It's a wonderful drive, and setup works well. Were going to do a chat video in the next week or so with a rundown of all car stuff :)
I must have missed the episode going to Ceduna please send a link
Hey Ralph, here is the link of us camping just prior to Ceduna. czcams.com/video/dCRd2ZlFOBw/video.html :) enjoy
Hows the Triton going with towing the camper. I just bought a similar camper van and I too have a Triton.
It's going well, have you done the gmv upgrade?
@@margieandtim nope. Should I ? Your ears must be burning I’m actually watching your video right now.
@NumanAir not necessarily, depends on the weight of your van and overall combined weight. Were going to do a chat video in the next week or 2 and talk about what we've found that's good re triton, but just check your figures with the weights. :)
@@margieandtim cheers I’ll be doing the Nullarbor trip next year early 2025. So I’ll keep an eye out on your adventures. Thanks for the chat
