SHOCKED by what we see at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. We had to walk away.

WARNING: Part of this episode contains footage (34:50 to 36:19) which shows the cruelty of nature and may not be suitable for all viewers.
We sold our house and gave up our jobs in the UK to tour the world. In this episode we visit Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, investigate motorhome issues and stay at various places overnight in our motorhome. We are travelling in a rented Maui motorhome from Cairns to Brisbane.
We are travelling around the world for 8 months and in this video we share some of our experiences in Australia.
Usually, we are full-time motorhomers and live in the UK. We have shared our recent travels through Europe and have now started to record a much longer trip that has been many years in the planing.
We would love to share our adventures with you. Please subscribe to our channel by clicking the link below if you would like to join us on our journey.
Formerly called 'Happy Trabellers' (which was a name that caused a lot of confusion!) so we are now renamed to 'Peg and Rob's Game for Adventure'.

    I reckon that drainage is blocked up with hair and cooking waste. They are only small pipes.or it's a back pressure . My water bottle does the same when using the little tap at the bottom The rental company should sort that out. The magpies are awesome . We also get sea turtles laying eggs on the beaches in northern NSW. We have about 40 to 50 kangaroos running wild on our local golf course in western Brisbane

I cannot express to you how emotional it is too see these turtles We saw them laying their eggs got to handle the eggs to replace them to a safer are Then the turles follow the light from a torch back into the sea This is why you have to book early because it's one of the best things to be a part of ever Highly recommended from experience

    Yeah you can’t stop at the truck stops they are for our trucks drives as they have to take breaks to sleep as they travel long distances and they can’t if cars and caravan are in their way. There are designated spot for cars and people in caravans and motorhomes to pull up in as you can see along on the road. I can’t believe that the motorhome they gave you is just in terrible conditions they should of taken you though it before you set off. Never leave the gas on always turn it off before you leave and when you are not using it.. yeah you should of gotten Wikicamps Australia app on your phones as it with tell you where all the free camps are & caravan parks etc are,it will let you know where the water is to fill up plus a whole lot of other stuff. everyone has it on their phones etc in Australia as we camp a lot.. 😊
