The Feel Good Family Road Trip Travel Australia Episode 1
0:00 Welcome to the Feel Good Family Road Trip Australia Series Episode 1
1:30 Our Journey Traveling in a Caravan Begins
After 18 months planning and even longer dreaming, we have commenced our 2 year journey around, across and throughout Australia to discover its places, people, cultures and history. Total newbies to full time caravan and RV living we wanted to unplug from our hectic lives, take a leap of faith and spend as much time together before our little boy Jasper starts school! We hope you will be inspired as we share our adventures each and every week Sunday 6:30pm [Australian eastern standard time].

We are an ordinary Australian family, creating extraordinary experiences. We've taken a leap of faith, packed up our lives, said goodbye to the 9-5 grind and hello to 24/7 - life as a traveling family!
Being complete caravanning newbies, we are hoping the experiences we share through our Family Travel Australia series will not only have an educational element, but will inspire you to take your own leap of faith, get outdoors and make memories that will last.
We live by the mantra "You don't need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step!"

    Hi Katie and Paul, I know I’ve been subscribed since the start and I’ve tuned in to the odd episode but last week we bought a little caravan. Nothing as flash as your home away from home but we’re starting off small and planning on a bigger one for the bigger trips in a couple of years. Now I’m starting at the beginning of your adventure and watching every episode in order (ok, I cheated and watched your most recent one first) 🤣 Thank you for sharing your life with us. Stay safe and hugs to you both and Jasper 🤗💞

Thank you 😊 we primarily use a DJI Mini Pro 3, this is light weight, beautiful capture quality and has the capability to shoot vertical and landscape at the click of a button (while in flight) - this means it can save time in post production for socials (although you do end up shooting more which means editing more 😅) enjoy the journey and see you out there soon 😎🏕️

    A much simpler way, when you are reversing, to remember how to make the item you are towing move in a given direction, is grip the BOTTOM of the steering wheel and turn it in the direction you wish the trailer to move. If you are holding the TOP of the wheel you have you turn in the OPPOSITE direction, so GRIP AT THE BOTTOM.

We have just bought a campervan which is currently being fitted out for us so very excited! We won't be full time van life though until our girls are finished school at least (6 years to go!!). In the interim I'll be living the dream through other's channels. Looking forward to watching more.

    I've just started watching your adventures Paul and Katie. What a legend the little guy Jasper is. I also watched a later episode first, you were travelling across the Nullabor in another Apollo van a Windsor, then we watched coming home from Tassie with the Coromal. I've now start from the beginning and really looking forward to every episode. We have an old poptop van but ordered a new van last year. Helen and I are at the other end of your life cycle but will head off for a lap in 2024. A bit personal, but did you rent your house or sell. We will have a family member move into our house for our travels.

    We’ve only just found your channel today and have been watching episode after episode. Absolutely love it! So well done. We will be setting off at the beginning of next year but we still don’t have any real itinerary. We’re setting off from Sydney and heading north. Did you book in to parks ahead of leaving or have you taken chances on last minute bookings? What about school holidays...should we book ahead for those times or maybe go inland a bit to less populated type parks. Any info greatly appreciated. Jasper is simply gorgeous by the way!

    Your channel just popped up on my page today cause caravanning channel are one of my main views, you say you are new to caravanning but you don't seem to be new to cameras, You look like you have been on tv shows or something before. Even from the first episode the channel looks semi professional. My family of the same size(3) have all the gear now and thinking of starting a channel but this editing bit seems pretty difficult.

All the best and the best advice for channel content I have is just make a start - it will all fall in to place as you go 👍

    I think you have very good material. As a first time viewer I find it difficult to find episodes in order. Eg Season 1 Episode 3 was difficult to find on Playlists. One can easily see Season 1 but the episode numbers are hidden by the time length of the video. Perhaps, if you make it easier to find episodes and work out a method whereby seen videos are indicated. If other folk can do it so can you. People become frustrated if they have to spend time searching for what they want. Perhaps that's a reason you have so few followers. You should have a LOT more. Bill.
