Our guide to East Arnhem Land in a caravan, the road in was one of the toughest yet!
Come and join us as we tackle the Central Arnhem Hwy with our 23’ Evernew Caravan. The drive out to Nhulunbuy tested our rig and we did not come out unscathed!
In this video we share our van preparation, what permits we needed and how we tackled one of the most challenging roads yet. Yes we did have a few things go wrong on this trip, but there is so much more that went right.

Hi Paul & Wenda, thanks for such an informative and interesting video! You really gave us some great tips and info. What a beautiful part of Australia. A lot of permits are required, however you probably saved people a lot of time. You've done all the research, thank you! 😊 Your videos always have worthwhile content and I'm happy to keep watching. There's no exaggerated or untrue thumbnails! I loved the ending with all the inspirational quotes. See you next week, stay safe ❤

Hi guys. Loving your content and delivery. I always carry a cheap small tarp to throw on the ground for situations such as changing a tyre. Good to keep me out of the dirt and to keep the wheel nuts and tools together. PS: Wenda use the other end of the broom to fight the crocs off.

Haha that’s a good idea 👍 for both the mat and broom 😉 We have an old picnic blanket tucked away in the back, should’ve used that! Cheers
Hi Paul and Wenda, loved the second episode on your adventure to Arnhem Land. The trip so far looks amazing and thanks for sharing this very informative, inspiring and useful information 👏 The tips and tricks have also been noted! Thank goodness you were able to replace the leaking tyre without any major issues occurring or unwanted critters stopping buy 🐊 that broom 🧹 would’ve put a sting in his tail Wenda hahaha 🤣 well done! Stay safe and catch you guys next week where we’ll be stopping by once again 🤠

Those 44-gallon drums most likely had diesel in them. I know they use to leave them in the outback for people to fill up, I reckon I heard that from one of Malcom Douglas shows

What a great series of tips, views and general info. Thank you. The permit system for getting from West Germany, through the GDR to Berlin was easier in 1985 than the permits you described. The restrictions were the same - stay on the main road!

Great videos and excellent information. I think there are too many permits / rules to visit this are for us. It's probably easier to get to North Korea. Thx heaps for these videos

Thanks 😊 haha yeah it does feel like a lot of permits and rules. Fortunately they were easy to get hold of 😉 Cheers
The drums are left over from fuel drops. Fuel drops are not utilised so much these days but, say, 20 years ago they were a requirement for outback travel. The drums were ordered from the supplier and dropped off by contractors. The price of the drop included pickup after use and the drums were marked by name or your rego plate.

What a stupid comment, this is how 99.9% of folk travel, especially when they have worked hard their whole life and are enjoying their rest.
Did you ever get your fridge fixed??

No it’s still playing up. We have it booked in with Dometic in the Gold Coast early next month.
They never used to let vans into Gove. Shame that they are allowed now....will only add to the downfall of the environment and its uniqueness..
