- Come and join us as we tackle the Central Arnhem Hwy with our 23’ Evernew Caravan. The drive out to Nhulunbuy tested our rig and we did not come out unscathed!
In this video we share our van preparation, what permits we needed and how we tackled one of the most challenging roads yet. Yes we did have a few things go wrong on this trip, but there is so much more that went right.
Transit Permit: www.nlc.org.au...
Visitor and Camping Permits: www.dhimurru.c...
Liquor Permit: nt.gov.au/law/...
We made this video using Shotcut, a free video editor : shotcut.org/
We use green screen sample from: www.vecteezy.com/
A really good guide to the central arnhem highway trip. Thanks
Thank you we appreciate the feedback 😉
Cheers

Haha yes a broom is a must in croc infested areas 😉
hi guys we absolutely love your channel you give so much information we have learned so much from you thank you looking forward to more videos and safe travels
Thank you😉we appreciate the encouragement and so glad the information has been helpful.
Cheers Paul & Wenda
Hi Paul & Wenda, thanks for such an informative and interesting video! You really gave us some great tips and info.
What a beautiful part of Australia.
A lot of permits are required, however you probably saved people a lot of time. You've done all the research, thank you! 😊
Your videos always have worthwhile content and I'm happy to keep watching. There's no exaggerated or untrue thumbnails!
I loved the ending with all the inspirational quotes.
See you next week, stay safe ❤
Thank you Lyn we appreciate your support and feedback. We do try and avoid clickbait thumbnails 😉 This is an amazing part of the country can’t wait to share more of it we went to an indigenous community yesterday and got some great footage so keep an eye out for that one ☝️
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Hi guys. Loving your content and delivery. I always carry a cheap small tarp to throw on the ground for situations such as changing a tyre. Good to keep me out of the dirt and to keep the wheel nuts and tools together. PS: Wenda use the other end of the broom to fight the crocs off.
Haha that’s a good idea 👍 for both the mat and broom 😉 We have an old picnic blanket tucked away in the back, should’ve used that!
Cheers
thanks for another great video. This is on our list as I have done it but my wife has not. Can't wait and watching this makes me want to leave now 🤣
Haha yeah the trip in to Nhulunbuy was a lot of fun. And there’s some great places to check out up here! Cheers
Hi Paul and Wenda, loved the second episode on your adventure to Arnhem Land. The trip so far looks amazing and thanks for sharing this very informative, inspiring and useful information 👏 The tips and tricks have also been noted! Thank goodness you were able to replace the leaking tyre without any major issues occurring or unwanted critters stopping buy 🐊 that broom 🧹 would’ve put a sting in his tail Wenda hahaha 🤣 well done! Stay safe and catch you guys next week where we’ll be stopping by once again 🤠
Thank you for your kind words we appreciate the encouragement 😊We’re looking forward to sharing the rest of this trip, it has been amazing 👍
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Thanks for this video. It is so helpful love all the information you share ❤❤
Hopefully it helps out on one of your adventures 👍
Hi Paul and Wenda - Nick and I are in awe!!! Helen x
Thanks Helen, it was quite an adventure just getting to our destination 😉 Paul x
Lovely Ep Guys
Thank you 😊 it was a lot of fun
Cheers Paul and Wenda
What a great series of tips, views and general info. Thank you.
The permit system for getting from West Germany, through the GDR to Berlin was easier in 1985 than the permits you described. The restrictions were the same - stay on the main road!
Haha thanks Ben. Don't think the consequences of non compliance would be quite as severe 😂
Cheers Paul & Wenda
@@beyondthegreyoz No, the border guards told us to not stop even if we have a flat tyre - just keep moving. We made it no problem despite the road being horrendously potholed and rough.
@@BenMitro that would actually be scary! But what a memory 👍
Great video and so informative thanks
Thank we hope it’s helpful 👍
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Great information on the area thank you, its on our list , look forward to the next episode.
Our pleasure, it is definitely worth a visit. Cant wait to share the next bits 😉
Cheers Paul & Wenda
Much appreciation for sharing your journey ❤❤
Thank you 😊
Those 44-gallon drums most likely had diesel in them. I know they use to leave them in the outback for people to fill up, I reckon I heard that from one of Malcom Douglas shows
Yeah that would make sense.
Cheers
great video guys .looking forward to the next video . as for doing Arnhem land i think we might give it a miss to many rules and regulations 😊
Thanks Goeff hopefully we can share enough and you’ll feel like you’ve been here 😉
Cheers Paul and Wenda
The drums are left over from fuel drops. Fuel drops are not utilised so much these days but, say, 20 years ago they were a requirement for outback travel. The drums were ordered from the supplier and dropped off by contractors. The price of the drop included pickup after use and the drums were marked by name or your rego plate.
Awesome thanks for sharing that 👍makes sense now
Cheers
Great ep guys and the inspirational quotes at the end were fantastic (but for a few that had hard to read fonts!!!!)😂😂😂
Thanks for the feedback Jack, glad you enjoyed it, we're always looking at way to improve the videos
Cheers Paul & Wenda
Great videos and excellent information. I think there are too many permits / rules to visit this are for us. It's probably easier to get to North Korea.
Thx heaps for these videos
Thanks 😊 haha yeah it does feel like a lot of permits and rules. Fortunately they were easy to get hold of 😉
Cheers
You’re lovely people. But I call you the ‘glamsters’ on your travels 😁
People do it a lot tougher and truly know what caravanning and camping is all about with budgeting and long travelling. 😊
Haha thank you Toni yes we can be a bit precious at times,but it is a lot of fun out here 😉
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Enjoy your golden years 🤗
What a stupid comment, this is how 99.9% of folk travel, especially when they have worked hard their whole life and are enjoying their rest.
That's a lot of permits!
yeah it's an effort but so worth it 😉
Awesome video and good tips. Just a question is your LC 200 stock standard, or what upgrades did you do?
Thank you, the only mods we did to the car was to the GVM for towing. There are few few bit and pieces we did like Clearview Mirrors, bullbar and driving lights. we also put out a video a little while back on all that we did to the car
Cheers Paul & Wenda
do u reckon im able to do it with a 2x4 ? till Nhulunbuy ?
We reckon it would be risky. When we went the road wasn't too bad for most of the trip but then there were some very bad spots. We have heard that currently the road is pretty rough and wouldn't want to make any recomendations. Sorry to be so vague but it is a challenging road. There is a FB page that is dedicated to the Arnhem Road if you join that you can ask about the current condition of the road.
Cheers Paul & Wenda
@@beyondthegreyoz many many thanks!
Did you ever get your fridge fixed??
No it’s still playing up. We have it booked in with Dometic in the Gold Coast early next month.
They never used to let vans into Gove. Shame that they are allowed now....will only add to the downfall of the environment and its uniqueness..
