Our most watched Episode - z • BEACH CAMPS ON THE NIN...
It all started when…
In December 2015 we packed up and hit the road for what we thought would be a 12 month Lap of Oz. Fast forward 4 years and we decided to create a video series of our travels to show you all what it’s like to live life on the road!!

So cool to watch your videos and watch your children growing with Mum & Dad on the experiences you are giving them all in Life. I'm more than Sure they will be ALL ADVENTURERS in there own right as they grow up and older with Partners/ Husband / Wifes. I noticed you guys have NEVER BEEN to VYRILA POINT on the Western Side of Cape York ! Seriously, you all are missing out after living up there for years. Its the very very best place on the CAPE Fella.

[@TripInAVan]

Thank you so much! Vrilya has been shut for years hey, I’d love to get up there if they open it again

[@jamiesullivan8900]

"I can drive straight no worries it's the backwards bit" Bec you crack me up! Great driving and awesome adventure gang. Giddy up

I wish to do bush driving during this pandemic, I'm bored staying home...

[@MonikaMonoProduction2012]

Amazing! Very informative with beautiful views! You kept it real. Great job! ❤

[@kelvinring5690]

Beautiful to see that last family photo that will be etched into your hearts and minds for life. Literally a high point or a Tip Top point...

[@KatherineBright]

Awesome video. Inspirational.

[@TripInAVan]

Katherine Bright Thankyou 👏

[@gregshipley1761]

Justin we had a chat outside the amenities block at Broken Head (not the best place for a chat ) just before the states locked down. I was the old guy trying to decide where to go from there my partner was caught overseas. I have watched all your videos from your first post right up to present and look forward to them every time you post. Most of all I love the great education your children are gaining in your travels and their great exposure to being an Aussie and learning so much about Australia. They will cherish those memories for their lifetime as I cherish my camping days with my parents when I was growing up. Keep up the great videos and safe travels. Hope we cross paths again one day.

[@TripInAVan]

Greg Shipley thanks mate, glad your enjoying the vids. Safe travels mate🍺

[@markhutchin7143]

Awesome guys, Punsand Bay has changed so much since we where there 25 years ago, tourism and progress I guess. Your vid brings back so many good memories of our trips up there, we used to do every 2nd year up there and have done it 6 times. Never gets old seeing that country

[@davidriley119]

I thought Bec was very good at reversing their rig (or “the backwards bit” as she put it) 😂 Great to share in the excitement of reaching the northern-most tip, also a few good hints and tricks, and some wonderful scenery. Thanks TIAV

[@TripInAVan]

David Riley thanks mate👍

[@davidriley119]

@@TripInAVan - I also liked how you included some bits that didn't quite work the way you'd planned - like your decision to cross the Jardine late in the day rather than camp on its banks - only to find the grocery store closed when you arrived at your destination. Things don't alway work out as hoped, and it's comforting to know it happens to TIAV too :-) And the 'old' video of your Old Telegraph Track adventure from a couple of years ago was outstanding. I can see why you wouldn't attempt the OTT with a 22foot caravan! Thanks for the three-part Cape York series. Hope you're planning a quiet and restful Christmas.

[@jase6827]

Kids Travelling Australia basically since birth , and all they want is a Croc tooth leather necklace from the Croc tent. Awesome.. Also love how your little girl gets involved when you say "how is it boys" she is classic. Coming form a Bloke who travels with all Girls in the family
