  • After a few relaxing nights in Ceduna, we make our way over to the much heard about and recommended Spear Creek Holiday Park. This park was amazing! If it had a running creek, it would absolutely top it off! Being dog friendly and fires allowed, this was the perfect getaway at the base of the Flinders Ranges. We attempt a hike but the flies were relentless! It did work up a great appetite though.

    Love Spear Creek it's a great place the area you were camping in was the track down to the ranges when we use to shoot up there. It's great country and the pipes lead to a spring where they get their water from. Years ago they used pack horses to move fencing supplies up to the top of the ranges. Great to see the area again thanks for that. We must get up there again soon. Safe travels Cheers Pieter 👍

    G'day guys loved your trip. Red dirt on car and van, just wash as normal but add a cup of roughly 200mls of blue kerosene into the bucket with the carwash in it will make everything look new, rubber tyres, decals, plastic trimming around van even the dirt in the silicon around the windows and doors, also your awning top and underneath and just pressure wash it all off. Just do one side or end at a time you will amazed, Cheers Pete and Yvonne from Geelong, Go Pie's 🤣🤠🦘🇦🇺

    We enjoyed our stay at Talem Bend though they were still doing some work on it but they were very accomodating. We stayed there about 18 months ago. Is Coco good with all dogs? I’ve noticed you have her off lead when you can so does she have good recall? Just asking as we have a reactive Staffy and it has made our life difficult at times when we travel. Another great video and I look forward to see where your next adventure takes you guys. 😊

    What did you do to get the carckling like it was ?

    • @JourneyUnknown
      @JourneyUnknown  Před 3 měsíci

      Hey Mick, it's a silicone base that keeps the airfryer from getting dirty. (kmart). We pat the roast down with paper towel first, slice the top, and plenty of salt. At room temp straight in the airfryer for 45min 👌 🥰

    Hey guys, there’s nothing more annoying than having flies and/or mosquitoes, especially when you’re trying to relax around a campfire🔥. Troy, it looked like you had forgotten to have your Shiraz with your beef stroganoff, which looked great…… where’s mine??…..hahaha. Please don’t take offence to this…..I do understand that you need to have control of Coco, please try not to almost choke her because you’re in a rush to get to the bench seat and sit down. I’m thinking about going on a boat(mine) trip for a month or two, on the Mighty Murray, either putting in at Echuca or Tailem Bend, which do you recon? Again, thanks for uploading your videos, it’s great watching.

      @JourneyUnknown  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hey David, 😆 l did forget 🍷 the food was too good to stop eating 😋. All good. She backs off. if you start running with her, she'll just run faster and do the same thing. Usually, we have her holti on which prevents any choking. l know right the flies were next level 😮. Both spots are pretty good, Tailem Bend is much quieter, ld say 👍
