Hi Rob,
Enjoy the DVD’s.But a quick question.
We have a motor home and sometimes you will say that a road is a bit rough and to leave the van behind.If so,would the motor home be able to go over that road,or is it only for a 4 wheel drive.
Thanks and cheers,
Onslow.

G’Day Onlslow,
It’s hard to make a general call, but where we’ve stated it is a bit rough – it probably is most likely that you could take in your motorhome. Some of those places were, Gieke Gorge & Zbends at Kalbari. They weren’t 4wd only. However places like Gibb River Road & the road into the Bungle Bungles are rougher and maybe better suited to a 4wd, so best get some info about the conditions before you travel in – probably the local tourist info centre or the roads authority. Also talk with people in the van parks or camp spots as they will have some up to date info.
Cheers
Rob

Hi Rob & Marg

Just watched the Eyre Peninsula dvd and I found it was one of the best for a long time. This time it did seem to really be more about travelling in a caravan. Loved Rob swimming with the seals and tuna, the free camps you showed, and even you not catching any crabs.

I’m afraid we found the Margaret River one very disappointing, as non drinkers by the time we skipped through the endless parts on wineries etc there was very little left. It didn’t seem to have much to do with caravanning.

So we are hoping the ones to come are much more like the Eyre Peninsula one.

Hi there!

We have finished our year travelling around Oz!!!! I know, it seems amazing that we have finished… we got home on Tuesday, but because we work 3 months in advance (videos and mag) you have yet to see The Great Ocean Road, The Murray and the Snowy Mountains/Canberra/South Coast. (I think the Eyre Peninsula is just out.)

Caravan & Motorhome provided us with the caravan and tow vehicle… and now that we’re back home, they’re selling the van. A great buy for someone.. We did have a lot of input into the layout & we were extremely happy with the finished product. We will miss the van.

Yes we still will be travelling, but for now it’ll be a little bit of time catching up with family & friends back here at home. Make sure you keep an eye out for us, as you never know where we’ll appear.

We’re still unpacking/settling back in (our son, DIL and 2 little granddaughters were in our house while we travelled, and they’re currently looking for a new rental) so it’s pretty busy here right now.

We plan on catching up on forum posts etc when we have had a few days to catch our collective breath… roll on Easter!

Now I’m off to watch The Biggest Loser and get some motivation to go back to the gym, lose weight and make up for all those happy hours…

Cheers
Marg

Hi Rob and Marg,
Thank you for your enjoyable DVD’s of your trip. Barry and I are about to do our half lap and we are leaving Sydney in about 2 weeks time. We have both watched the DVDs with great interest and are taking them on our trip to view again so we dont miss any of the wonderful parts of NT, WA and SA. We especially liked the last dvd on Freecamping as we will be doing that for the first time on this trip.

I saw your van is up for sale and my how I would love it!! I know it wouldn’t fit on our driveway so I can only dream.

Glad you made it home safely and what are you both going to do now?

Hi Pam,

How exciting that you’re off on an extended trip! Bet you can’t wait. There’s so much terrific stuff to see out there. We’ll be going back to visit a lot of places again, that’s for sure.

But not for a while! After a year on the road we need to think about what we’re going to do with the house… it’s too big for us now, so we’re going to buy something smaller (with plenty of room for a caravan!). We’ll need to repaint the house ready for sale etc etc, and we’ll both be doing a bit of part-time work while we’re planning where to go next. For the next six months we’ll probably just be doing shorter trips – anything from a long weekend to 10-14 days. Not sure where at this stage!

Cheers
Marg

It was a pleasure watching your DVDs…so inspiring to get out there and see what you did

Thankyou both

Dave

Goodday Rob & Marg,
Been a while since I posted in, but see from above that you are home safe & sound !

Enjoyed all your DVD,s, so thanks to you both.
Its good to get a “fix” of ‘vanning when you are still at work.

Like my wife & I after our 2005 -round the block- we still relive the experiences all the time !

After a few months at home bet you get itchy feet ( or should that be wheels) to go again !

Thats again, & best wishes to you both.
