In this mini episode, we travel in our converted Ford transit campervan, to Ballarat Victoria Australia and visit Ballarat Wildlife Park.

The park offers a comfortable walk around their facilities, with the chance to get up close and personal to some of Australia’s most famous native animals. With over 100 Kangaroos roaming free, around the Park, they give you the opportunity to experience hand feeding these amazing animals. You can enjoy lunch in the fully licensed cafe or bring along a picnic to have on our outdoor table and chairs, surrounded by the Kangaroos. While at the Park, we recommend you take an ‘Animal Experiences’, which is a photo of you and an animal, professionally taken as your souvenir to take home. At the Park, they specialise in native Australian animals and a wide variety of exotic reptiles – from free roaming Kangaroos, Koalas, Wombats, Tasmanian Devils, Eagles, and Giant Tortoises, Crocodiles and Alligators to a large display of Lizards and both venomous and non-venomous Snakes. There is a Tiger Sanctuary, home to a Sumatran Tiger named Satu the Sumatran/Siberian Tiger named Kai.

We hope you enjoy our channel. We often get asked, ‘what is vanlife?’ Van life is a lifestyle of living in a vehicle full or part-time. The names are compound words that derive from the fact that it is typically done in a van that has been modified with basic amenities, such as house batteries, solar panels, a bed platform, some form of toilet, sink, and storage space. Some van-dwellers live this lifestyle by choice while seeking freedom, self-sufficiency, and mobility without paying for conventional stationary housing, while for others it may be one step from living on the street or in a shelter. Although the term van-dwelling implies living in a van, many types of vehicles may be used for permanent, mobile living arrangements, including former public buses or school buses, campervans, recreational vehicles (RVs), travel trailers, mobile homes, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and cars. It’s great to see Australian tourism picking up with many people traveling around Australia in caravans, campervans, RVs, and camping in tents. We enjoy part-time van life, creating weekly episodes that are live at 5pm (AEST) Sundays, and sharing our experiences on our travels with our cavoodle, Twyla. In our episodes we stay at free and paid campsites, showing our tips and tricks on how to make life on the road easier and fun. Come join us on our adventures!
