Episode Recap
Warning Spoilers!
The Heeler Family is going on a roadtrip, but Bluey soon gets bored. Mum is sure she packed the tablets, but they've packed so many things into the car that they can't find them so the girls can play computer games. Mum tries to keep Bluey occupied with car games, while Bandit is most concerned with keeping their stops brief and staying ahead of a group of grey nomads. Eventually, however, Chilli is out of ideas, and the grey nomads get ahead of them.
Looking to make up her own game, Bluey finally locates the tablets, but is more interested in the fold down table they were hidden behind. Chilli comforts Bandit by pointing out how much fun the girls are having, and he agrees. To their surprise, the grey nomads begin to pull off the road, but when Bluey and Bingo learn that they're heading for "The Big Peanut" they want to check it out to. Reluctantly Bandit pulls off as well, but soon finds himself enjoying making memories with his wife and daughters.Appearances

Trivia
- The train that the Heeler family are racing resembles the Queensland Railway NGR (New Generation Rolling Stock) or the Queensland Railway EMU.
- Its horn was taken from a stock recording of a Nathan K3L train horn, as heard in trains from other shows, such as Mavis from Thomas and Friends and the train featured in the Caillou episode "Next Stop, Fun".
- A roadworks dog replaces Bluey in the credits of this episode.
- Contrary to a frequent fan rumor, Chilli did not shoplift the sunnies. She can be seen paying in the background as Bandit grabs the kids.
- Long Dog: This long dog is a sticker located on the back of the Grey Nomad's trailer. It is yellow with a brown nose, black wheels in place of feet, and a stuck up tail. It is most visible after the camera switches to Bandit's Point of View during the drive.
- When this episode aired on Disney Channel in the US, it was paired with Muffin Cone and Circus.
Errors
- The grey nomads catch up to the Heelers as soon as they stop at the service station and the flagman, despite the Heelers traveling much faster than the nomads. It is possible this was a different group of nomads whose vehicles looked the same.
- Bandit could've easily driven around the grey nomads, as the road was a two lane road, and the Heelers are passed by a semi truck while Bluey, Bingo, and Chili are playing a road game.
- While the Heelers were stuck behind the nomads, the road was a 2 direction road. However, a few shots later, the road is a divided highway.
