Remember these few simple things in life.

Don't think about the present. Think about the future.

It dosnt matter how far into the future you think. But if you don't know where your going, how are you gonna get there❓️❓️

Driving through a few states and you see some weird things.

Some massive dice. Haha

Did some decent ks today. Drove from broken Hill to Adelaide and reached our destination 1 day early.

There wasn't as much to see as we thought in between broken Hill and Adelaide so we just drove it.

Another great catch up with another great bloke.

Thats why I love this online business so much and the community that comes with it.

Steve and myself have worked together on a few projects so far and me and Steve have been wanting to catch up for a while.

Today was the day we finally got to catch up.

Lucky neither of us had to work or we would of missed this opportunity.

The BT50 definetly needs a lift kit. Looks pretty small next to the big rig.

For those people that havnt seen this video yet. Please have a watch.

If you havnt driven the nullabor yet, I insist that you need to do it at least once in your life.

I think this video captures alot of the nullabors true beauty and what makes it such an amazing part of this country.

Please enjoy 👍👍

We put the rods in for a few hours again this arvo.

The water is still pretty dirty and probably will be for a few more weeks.

No real luck. But my mum caught a pike eel.

As you can see in the picture she is very happy with her catch.

You have to have a rod in the water to have any hope of catching anything.

Just a few short videos from today. Bloody beautiful day.

I followed the big storm all the way from Goondiwindi to the fold cost and watch the effect of it the whole way. Absolutely incredible amounts of water.

Hoping to have a dry sleep tonight and then my finally destination very soon.

02/03/2022

I know your not meant to do this sort of stuff while you drive but it was so nice. So I had to haha.

Some of the amazing country I went through today.

Stopped for a sleep in Goondiwindi.

Ill post a few pictures in the comments

❓QUESTION ❓

What is your favourite camping place that you can fish from?

So im talking no need to get in the car. Either there is a bank you can just throw the rod over, or the boat is anchoredright there in front. I also don't want to have to drive on the water for half an hour to get to this spot.

Im looking for awesome spot with convenience.

With this new year comes some new toys and I wanna use them properly.

Picture is of 1 of my Favorite places I have been so far. BUXTON QLD.

Rightio👍

Who can tell me where I am?

Just to be annoying there is no hints. Haha

Going back nearly 2 years now to the production and planning of my canopy.

So many sleepless nights planning and researching anything and everything that went into the canopy build

Hours and hours of build time from Jason at STL Fabrication

I helped as much as I could towards the end when I finished working.

But wouldn't take any of it back. So proud of what was accomplished and so proud of how it all turned out in the end.

Imagine if there was still more to come 🤔🤔🤔🤫🤫🤫

So I get asked a fair bit why I chose a vehicle like the iveco.

I chose it for a few reasons.

The luxury of having a duel cab but still a tray bigger then most 4wds. 🚚
Better carrying capacity💪 then most 4wds
Increased GVM from factory and also the choice to go even bigger, and I have.🚛
Factory triple 3️⃣ diff locks and a twin 2️⃣ transfer case puts it in a class all of its own.
Can fit 37s on a stock vehicle.

But there is also a few things that makes it a bit annoying.

One in the picture is im about a foot wider then most other vehicles so it makes sand driving quite hard work. I always have to make my own tracks.

If you have any more questions feel free to hit me up.

Well this is what a tomato shed looks like from above. I sent my drone up for a bit of a fly at lunch time.

Also this would have to be the biggest greenhouse I think I have ever seen.

I have highlighted my truck for comparison.

04/02/2022

I miss the West Coast.

I can't wait to go back. It's so amazing over there.

It really is like it's own country.

I only really got to see a very small section of the south of WA, but from what I got to see, I was super impressed.

The landscape changes so much and so quickly over there. I can't wait to explore the rest.

I just don't think there is anything in this world that is so beautiful, surprising and prompt as a sunset.

They are surprising because you could wake up on one of the coldest and crappiest days you have experienced for years. But you can never pic how and when that beautiful sunset will come though.

They are prompt because no matter what happens to you during the day, no matter what someone says to you, no matter if you worked for the day or relaxed. No matter what happens in your day the sun will set and it will be there for you to appreciate it.

Don't take a sunset for granted. Even if you just look for 5 seconds. Appreciate it.

JET.

This bloke is an absolute legend. I miss him heaps.

I always wanted my own dog from a young age, as soon as I got my own house I started looking and I found this legend.

As much as I would of loved to take him traveling with me, unfortunately it just didn't work out. As a whippet they can suffer from separation anxiety, because they are very loving and loyal.

Jet suffered from this quite bad. I did try and travel with him but unfortunately it didn't work out.

He is now and has been with his new family for a while. They love him heaps and he is part of the family.
I appreciate it everyday how they took him in and loved him.

I want to know if you have travelled and worked with a pet and how it went for you.

Let's roll

29/01/2022

❗Going to go live on Facebook Tommorow night.❗

6pm Victorian time.

Answering any and all questions regarding the truck 🚚, canopy, places I've been🏝, places I want to go and maybe we will get time for some future mods.

Get your questions ready!!!!!!❓❓❓

26/01/2022

Well they did say that they think eventually everyone will get it.

Unfortunately I'm apart of the latest people on the covid list.

If there is ever a time to message or call me about anything.

Maybe we can try and solve some of life's great mysteries or maybe you just want to know a measurement of something on the canopy.

Feel free to message me or call.

Ill be here for minimum 5 days. 🤣🤣🤣

25/01/2022

What's everyone up to, today for Australia day?

Im just chillen in my new temporary home about to go for a drive.

24/01/2022

This was one of my very first trips I ever did with my canopy on. The first feel of the weight of it and how the truck behaves with it on.

Dealing with something so big and heavy, and then driving the truck when the canopy is off, is like driving 2 different vehicles.

I'm quite familiar with both vehicles now. I'm used to the different driving styles and speeds of them both.

Such a cool trip, and got to see the famous area of the power lines track in Perth.

23/01/2022

Normally I wouldn't post something with so much swearing in it, but it's important in life to not worry so much and just concentrate on yourself.

That dosnt mean you don't care about anyone or any thing.

It just means, don't worry about things that you don't need to waste your time and energy on.

Coming into Monday morning tommorow, I'm hopimg heaps of people will give this a read and just not stress so much.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

A picture of myself not worrying on an old tractor. Hahah
