Ive just ordered a copy, hoping to get some ideas for where to go for our own next big adventure

Not seen them, but have heard of these guys, they were at the gold coast caravan expo last week promoting their video series, Grey Nomad 101 - The Caravanning Made Easy DVD series - for all Grey Nomads (http://www.greynomad101.com)

I'm up to episode 3 and so far i'm finding Ep3 a bit frustrating. They did a practice trip before leaving on the main trip around Aus and during the practice trip they rolled the car. The accident put them behind in their schedule so they expressed across the nullabore and up the west coast. If your taking 18mnth to do a lap i dont understand bypassing stuff but maybe 18mnth is a bit tight to do it properly???

They needed to hurry up as they would miss the dry season for the top end and cape.

I watched 1-4 last night.....keep in mind there would be stuff they did that hasn't made it to the series.

I was surprised...not quite frustrated as well as it took them getting to broome before they modified the camper and back of the cruiser to make things easier..........

In saying that they have done it and learnt along the way.....while I'm still dreaming it

Notice the wife hasn't driven since the roll over

They are top spots, steep point is a bucket list item which we covered in the blog. :)

I found it weird he seemed to do all the sight seeing and she didn't. I know its harder with kids but he seemed to do a lot on his own.

Up to the last episode, have enjoyed it, more so from Broome onwards, the only thing I have been frustrated with is the recap at the start of each episode, maybe its just me, enjoy , cheers.

There are only two things we decided not to do on our lap,,
1 was the top end in the wet,,,
2 was Vic in winter.

Those things pretty much decided our direction and time limits.

Thanks for the links!:cool::D
