Epic Red Centre Road Trip: Outback NSW to South Australia
This episode we travel from Cobar to Broken Hill, in Outback New South Wales. We catch up with a bunch of crazy awesome humans taking part in the Shitbox Rally, raising funds for the Cancer Council of Australia, and we stay under an endless sky at the Starview Primitive Campsite at the spectacular Living Desert. Plus we share our Top 10 experiences to fill your days and tick off your bucket list when visiting Broken Hill.
Then we travel over the South Australian border and free camp in Peterborough, a quiet country town that was once the epicentre for Australia’s rail network.
Our epic road trip from South East Queensland to the incredible Red Centre - Uluru and Kata Tjuta - the beating heart of Central Australia, is underway!
We’ll be driving approximately 7500km over a 28 day period to complete this mini lap of Australia - a road trip we believe every Aussie should experience in their lifetime!

Yes I have had a Strawberry malted at bells milk bar and enjoyed it. I guess i am still a kid at heart. I have to say I love your video's and your zone caravan has convinced me to upgrade to a Zone. I am at the other end of the life spectrum and have travelled the world plus a lot of Australia but mainly in small bites at holiday times.Hearing about your adventures has inspired me now that I am retired and still healthy. Just one question have you done a video relating to say weekly average costs eg diesel and van park or other accomodation costs. Cheers.

When I heard you say “fresh produce” in Broken Hill I yelled “NO” and I had a giggle and saw your faces “Bugger”. That’s why I have frozen veg the freezer or cook everything eg spaghetti sauce and you have good meals when crossing the borders fresh that’s ok I have bought broccoli I blanche it a couple of days before and freeze and blueberries/berries in general freeze I tell em and they look at them and has long as they’re hard frozen no worries. I always download the quarantine guide and I call them if not sure and we have a big salad at Manna Hill 😂 I saw the S..box rally cars leaving Newcastle a week ago…seen the variety club one going across from Karumba on the Savannah Way to Cairns a couple of years back.

G'day Paul & Katie, we loved your content as usual. We also loved our time in the 'Hill' last year, popped in the Toyota dealership Saturday morning, and needed a battery for the LC key ,no stock the guy drove Downtown found a battery no extra charge..real service. The quarantine in S.A.... same deal, a large bag of fresh fruit & vegetables. I put the produce in the bin provided watched by Old Mate, we were asked to look in the van the first draw I opened for the inspector one orange missed during the clean out ...quite an interrogation and a $403 fine in the mail .my facial expressions were worse than yours , there were adjectives used. Safe travels..

So sorry about your freshly bought fruit and veggies . We travel to SA from WA and back occasionally and am always stressed about quarantine both ways . Have learnt over the years to take nothing through quarantine into SA or WA and either cook up or cut up and freeze solid anything fruit or veg . We felt your pain at forgetting this time . Safe travel to the NT .

@@TheFeelGoodFamily I forgot to mention honey . No honey at all regardless of where you bought it ,can be brought into WA but store bought honey ie, processed honey is ok to be taken into SA . SA do not accept raw honey and we were told by quarantine at Pinnaroo quarantine a few weeks back that people try to get away with putting raw honey into empty containers bought in the supermarket but they can tell the difference . There is also aQuarantine booklet that gives all details for each state’s quarantine dos and don’ts from each state. Good luck next time .
As soon as you said you were going to buy fruit and vegetables in Broken Hill we both looked at each other and said aren’t they crossing into SA today.

Thank you 🙏 we use GoPro 9,10 or 11 (we have one of each from over the years). It has Timelapse and Nightlapse options to shoot still or video content very simple to use 🙏💙🇦🇺 we also use a power bank connected to the GoPro so we can shoot 10-12 hours continuously- this is then fixed to a tripod to keep still and occasionally we add a small LED LIGHT to ‘paint’ the subject so that it has light while the sky stays dark 😅🍻💙
It is absolutely ridiculous the quarantine check points as they are not manned 24/7. It seems to be hit and miss. Used to do 2 up trips from Brisbane to Perth every week and a lot of the times there wasn't even anyone there.

Hi Paul, we’ve just started watching your video’s. In the clip for the Living Desert Starview Primitive Campground (where we have also booked for a few nights at the beginning of September) you mentioned that you got permission to use your drone out there to take some photo's/video's. Can I please ask who you had to write to for permission. We'll be doing a trip at the end of August leaving from Brisbane heading down through Lightning Ridge, Bourke, Tibooburra, Broken Hill, Peterborough (and everywhere in between), up through the Flinders Ranges and Birdville Track to Birdsville before heading back out along the way to home and we would love to take some of those awesome aerial photos while we are out there as well. Safe travels to you, Katie and Jasper and we look forward to seeing more of your video’s.
