Could not be happier with this amazing show on our very last night in Tassie 📸🙌💙
Saving the best until last! With only 3 more nights in terrific Tassie, we heard this place was worth checking out and we have to agree 💯 % 🥃
If you’re planning Tassie, you must check this place! They also do amazing meals paired with their own whiskey relish and jam!
Hellyers Road Distillery 👌
Sending you all postcards from a perfect little seaside village called PENGUIN 🐧
Meet the newest member of our family “Penguini” - can you spot her?
And who would’ve thought Penguins could be so tasty 🥧 hehehe
Safe to say we LOVED Penguin ❤️
We got up early this morning to rock the Cradle 🌄
🤩this place is magic 🤩
Yes it was freezing 🥶 but was 1 million times worth it.
FLASHBACK ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ fun times and great memories over the past 12 months on the road…here’s just a few 😂 thanks for coming on our adventures with us!
We were a little worried we wouldn’t get to see these cute little creatures in their own backyard before we sail back to the North Island.
However, tonight was the night! Another bucket list item ✅
Time for a healthier option and some exercise after all the naughty things we’ve been indulging in lately 😝
Latrobe to Devonport return = 31km 👏🎉🚢 bloody exhausted!
It’s time for confession 💒
*disclaimer: it’s not our fault there are too many temptations in Tassie!!
Something phenomenal happened this morning!
Tasmania was actually warmer than our home town of Tweed Heads!
We are currently 16° and in T-shirt’s wandering around this amazing place that captured the world 18 years ago!
Any idea where we are? 🤔
📍St Helen’s, Tassie
Today we were fortunate to meet this incredible human- Samuel McLennan.
🚫 Samuel had planned to sail it from Hobart to Sydney, but that voyage has been put on hold.
Marine and Safety Tasmania says it will consider re-registering the vessel if certain conditions are met. Samuel is still waiting on an outcome after further emails sent last Friday.
♻️it was awesome to see what he’s done to recycle debris and waste that has been washed up on beaches and waterways in Tasmania, this boat looks solid!
🌎 He’s certainly doing more than most to clean up the mess that other humans have made… it’s a disgrace what other humans do to our beautiful planet!
⛵️it was such an honour to meet Samuel and we wish him all the best for his future endeavors!
🙏 PLEASE do your part to conserve our beautiful planet and pick up any rubbish on the beach and bin it!

Quick trip to the Gold Coast ☔️lots of rain but so good to catch up with family and friends. Our hearts are filled with so much love ❤️ and a huge congrats on your run Josh, so proud of you 🥇
Breaking down in an RV can be a challenging experience, but with a calm and methodical approach, you can manage the situation effectively. Whether you’re on a cross-country road trip or exploring the great outdoors, being prepared, and knowing the right steps to take can make all the difference.
Fatigue while driving and how to mitigate the risks, worth a read from RvSafe 🤓
Stay safe
Embarking on a journey with a recreational vehicle (RV) promises a road full of adventure and exploration. However, the thrill of the open road comes with its own set of challenges, and one concern is driver fatigue.
We braved it 🏃❄️time for 🍰🤣
Windmills, convict history, incredible topiary, friendly locals and an awesome donation camp.
A stroll around town turned into an amazing 6 hour history lesson!
Very excited to showcase Ally’s Trinkets for the first time! Super proud of my love for her hard work and creative flair. Here at the St Helens Markets today ❤️
Now we know why this free camp is known as “Millionaire’s Row” 💰🌅😲
What an Amazing day! Ben Lomond National Park in Tasmania, home of Jacobs Ladder. Kinda freaky steep switch-back road but so beautiful with todays sun and ice/snow.
Then get to the village and seeing snow, Brad hasn’t seen it before and had a blast - till he remembered he didn’t dress for cold 😜
Anyone in North East Coast Tasmania looking for Driving Lessons, here's a bargain :)
Capturing the peculiar and unexpected moments that come with exploring new places is what makes an adventure truly exciting 📸😁🇦🇺
Cold but Beautiful day exploring Bicheno. Brad used Magic 🪄 to create waves, and Ally wanted to try everything at the bakery 😂
Of course, Brad is Happy about this 🤓❤️
Anyone for a new drink? 😂
National Road Safety Week is a campaign that aims to reduce the number of and impact of crashes due to unsafe roads and driving.
Today marks the start of National Road Safety Week
Let the fun begin!! Bakeries and funny poses. Let’s get this exploring underway Ally ❤️
Franklin Tasmania, amazingly beautiful village on the Huon River. Great place! Blue River Cafe - lovely pies and strong coffee 👍🤓
In Australia, provided you have a full driving licence (some states and territories place towing restrictions on Learner and Provisional Licence holders), and the caravan and tow vehicle don’t exceed the mass limits that involve an endorsed or heavy vehicle license, you are permitted to tow a trai...
This week we are packing up camp 🏕️ after being here for just over 3 months, we are sad to be leaving beautiful Hobart, however, with the camp hosting finished, we are going in search of more fun and adventure and hopefully we will capture a glimpse of the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis).
The pic below (not ours) was taken last night, not too far away, and just with an iPhone and visible to the naked eye 👀WOW!
As we head further south towards Bruny Island, for more beautiful mountains, beaches and trails, we thank you so much for following along and hope we can being some magic to you soon from the Southern lights 💙

Lets take a look at the Mirror Requirements. Travel Guides last night had a great episode in Tas. However, the guides were given 4wd’s and caravans to navigate the winding roads, with no apparent extension mirrors. The RvSafe Handbook has all the info. You Must be able to see beside and the blond spots, around what you are driving and towing. #rvsafe #mirrors #visibility #caravan #rv #rvs #rvlife #fulltimetravel #didyouknow #travelguides #tasmania #mirrors #knowyourrequirements
Wow. Hard to capture but amazing to watch. Canon60d shots from The Neck, Bruny Island. Tasmania #tasmania #aurora #beautiful
Safe and Happy Easter wishes from us at Brad & Ally's Adventures and RvSafe And of course our rarely sighted smiling Easter Bunny 🐰🤓👍 #rvsafe #rvs #rv #caravan #motorhome #connectlearnexplore #funnybunny #roadsafety #drivesos
Sending positive vibes for a Safe and happy Easter period. This is another time with a 4 day weekend bringing a lot of people into the roads, with some travelers and their gear maybe not being quite match for. So, RvSafe has a Checklist App available from the App Store and Google Play, to help you stay safe when packing and checking your travelling gear. Stay rvSafe, and enjoy 🤓👍🇦🇺 #rvsafe #fypシ゚viralシ #Easter #drivesos #roadsafety #checklist
Lucky camper. Let’s discuss levelling and the use of ‘stabilisers’ on caravans and RV’s. I’ve seen some interesting uses, but what is the specifications for stabilisers. Can they hold the weight of a van while balancing on a circular rock? Or do they just Stabilise? Forward or rearward? So many questions. #rv #rvsafe #caravan #caravansafety #rvsafety #stabiliser #lucky
Here I’ve found a difference between advertised tow capacity and Actual tow capacity. Our BT50 is touted as a 3,500kg tow capacity. However, I’ve noticed the tow bar, manual, and placard all reduce the actual tow weight limit to 3,350 with tow ball weight at 335kg. Interesting, we never want that much weight, and can’t with only 5,950kg GCM (Gross Combined Mass) which I also thought was 6,000kg. .So, long story longer, if it’s advertised as one thing, do yourself a favour and check the Actual weight limits 👍🤓.@rv_safe #rvsafe #rv #rvs #caravan #motorhome #weightlimit ##towing #bt50 #mazdabt50 #forinformation
Do you know your Speed Limit? Generally, vehicles over 4.5t GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) And Combinations over 4.5t (Gross Combination Mass GCM) will be restricted by law to 100km/h. This doesn’t mean the vehicle of combination has to be over 4.5t actual weight, it is the manufacturer set maximum that defines it, as well as making you pay higher registration for heavier vehicles 🫤 Also, some states fine you for driving Too Slow for the speed limit - causing obstruction to traffic - so find a sweet spot, be safe, don’t be a road block but don’t channel Lightning McQueen 🏎️ #rvsafe #rv #caravan #speedlimit #speed #roadsafety #DriveSOS

Why we do, what we do. Travelling full time in Australia now, after many years experiencing the effects of road trauma, we now promote road safety awareness for Recreational Vehicles, as RvSafe ambassadors. Along with many other agencies and groups, we hope to encourage the knowledge of travelling safely, that is at times not promoted, or interesting. Stay safe, reach out if you would like more info or a downloadable booklet 🇦🇺🤓. #rv #rvs #rvsafe #caravanaustralia #caravan #travelcouple #roadsafety #drivesos #motorhome #caravancrash #crash #roadcarnage
Wow. Mount Wellington - Magic. At 1270m, the drive was worth it and it was mostly clear. The weather is different up there but magic. Much yet to see in Tassie, so much beauty 🇦🇺👍⛰️.#visittasmania #heytasmania #mtwellington #beautiful #fulltimetravel Discover Tasmania
We found a GoWeigh public weighbridge near Geelong Victoria. Easy to use, 2 step weigh to check the combination weight, then disconnect the van to show the GvM of the Ute, and the ATM and TBM of the Van. It was simples, and at only $48, well worth the piece of mind. These are popping up all around, highly recommended to drop by to check your weights and remain Safe, but also, legal👍🤓 #rvsafe #DriveSOS #pieceofmind #caravan https://maps.app.goo.gl/ukUdajddp5DJaE1y7?g_st=ic
