Driving 3,500kms Through Outback Australia

[@itsJackandMegan]

Hey everyone, thanks for joining us for this massive journey! Please use this as a reminder to make sure you have all your safety equipment and have your vehicle checked by a professional before any rural trips. Stay safe out there, love you all 🩵

[@richarddevaottien7724]

You both look quite anaemic, too much coffee is notorious for causing this,.... assuming you haven't had that ghastly 'j@b@roo😮

@@richarddevaottien7724 🤨 we’re fine thanks

[@neilmitchelhill9388]

Just rewatched this one and you are both such genuine people ❤

[@itsJackandMegan]

@@neilmitchelhill9388 appreciate it mate 😊🙏🎅🎄

[@mwilliams2101]

Jack saying “6amp or 8amp” in fast forward high pitch had me in stitches 😂 IMO, somehow this is your most genuine and down to earth vlog ever. Love the road semantics Keep it up guys

[@itsJackandMegan]

😂😂😂 still makes me laugh every time I watch it hahah. Thanks for watching mate!

[@AyodanDownUnder]

I do love driving across Australia so much to see and yes going nuts at times. Love the dances keep them coming

[@HammerRocks]

It's amazing to think that a small humble town like Broken Hill, spawned BHP (Broken Hill Proprietary), one of the biggest mining & resources company in the world. Thanks for the ep guys. 👍👍

[@itsJackandMegan]

Crazy hey!! Thanks for watching mate 🙏😊

[@russellturner295]

Jack and Megan...you two are the best! Fantastic Sunday night viewing! Please don't stop entertaining us! ❤👌😁🎅

Totally selfish of me but i love your videos traveling Aus. I did enjoy your overseas videos but these just seem to be you!!!!! I so hope your WA project goes well and will we see it?? I love your chemistry together and the happy dance🤣🤣🫶🫶. Just love you guys..... thank you!!!!!

[@andrewr171]

Just going to watch your buymeacoffee!! Oh, and thank you for taking out that shelf!!!! I'm amazed how much safer I feel with it gone🤣🤣👍

SA/WA border "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" moment. Loved it.

[@themagician96]

I honestly think this was one of your best video yet! It was such a joy to watch and you showcased some of the most amazing things about Australia, the Landscape and the people. You should both be very proud. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@elmsy45]

I have really enjoyed seeing you guys back in Australia. I hope you keep at it for a while longer. I love seeing Australia from your perspective. I have hopes of one day seeing it all for myself as you have. I for one, like that you are so honest about what frightens and challenges you both. I think you'd be surprised by how many of us can relate. Keep living the dream Megan and Jack, no matter what your dreaming of. Keep dancing it's awesome.

[@aestheticbeautyau]

I think my favourite moment was Jack sharing that you forgot the fruit/veg purge before Quarantine. This would be a mistake I would make after multiple journeys and I found it very relatable and comforting (though in fairness you guys were probably a bit tired from the long days on the road!). Love the vlog in it's entirety. You guys are incredible at what you do and inspire me to work toward the travel goal every time I watch your vids. Thank you.

[@steveturner8883]

[@dglass7141]

Hey I'm from the US and my wife and I watch your channel. You both are an amazing couple. Australia is a place I'd like to visit but may never will. We also watch other van lifers such as Philly & Keely who are currently in Australia for the first time. They too are a great couple and it would be totally awesome to see you both meet up. 👀👍❤️ I apologize if this idea/suggestion is not proper.

[@twoandaute]

We just arrived back in Aus after working/travelling in Canada for two years! This gets us so excited to explore our home of WA ❤

[@kimwalter1269]

So glad to see you both back in Aus, I love your videos travelling this beautiful country the most! But wanted to come on and say hubby and I absolutely LOVE you guys and love your real and honest content. Jacks dance at the WA border needs a special mention though! You had said before you got there that, that one was the hardest place to video because the police station was right there. Jack, I absolutely loved how you went all out with your dance, I mean you went there buddy, and you did yourself proud lol. But the way you ran off to get in the car and leave as fast as you could at the end of your epic moves was the funniest things Ive ever watched and I laughed out loud! Keep up the great content guys! We are so excited to watch your van makeover, we have gone back to watch some of your older videos again x

[@MyLittleFarmhouse]

Love the boarder dances 🤣💕👍🏽

[@sue-ellenskinner954]

Jack driving in the middle of nowhere is the perfect place for Megan to practice driving, we regularly drive Darwin to Brisbane to start our holidays and it's only possible cause we both drive - 2 1/2 days done! If you both can't do everything then one day you will get stuck badly

[@RoamingRooma]

Gooday guys. I remember in Dec 2021 me family left at Longreach after lunch to head to Hughenden for camp stop. We drove past a massive storm for about 100km and was too hot 38degree after dark to camp. Just kept going and ended up in Castle Hill lookout just in time for the sunset. My wife just had a little nap after dinner 😉and little 8 year old girl stayed awake for me. That was the best drive I ever did. Changing landscape and terrain. We gotta a love this great Aussie Beautiful couple, beautiful travels

[@itsJackandMegan]

Amazing hey!!! Memories you will never forget!! Those terrains and sunsets just have to be seen to believe!! Thank you for watching 🙏😊

[@happydays241]

Hi Jack and Megan, I used to live in South Australia for many years and I can tell you DON’T DRINK THE WATER THERE IT’S NO GOOD WELL THATS AN UNDER STATEMENT!!! We didn’t even use the water for our iron because it would blow the iron up. When filling the bath tub up the water didn’t look inviting at all. I live in Tassie now a lot different here but still not perfect…

[@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310]

We’ve been in sa for a few months now and the water is some of the best we’ve come across, it’s amazing.

[@happydays241]

@@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310No need to get yr back up, Megan is the most recent visit to South Australia and her opinion is the same as mine. You obviously haven’t experienced it as yet, you have only been there a few months.

[@bertkelly7650]

We have Paw paws in south central PA. They aren't orange on the outside but the center looks the same. OMG that car fire! We passed a truck on fire going camping last year. Yay, a happy dance!

[@itsJackandMegan]

It’s so good hey!! The fire was bloody intense hey scary stuff hey. We had a chat with the police officer that was taking care of the situation. She said that the trucks carting hay catch on fire fairly often and they are huge fires!

[@ThatsFarked]

i unfortunately live in my van in perth due to tough circumstances and ive been trying to save for a power bank for ages to survive this eat and one day get a fridge. so tough living but your videos get me through the dark days. one day ill hopefully get power and survive a little more comfortably. my van is in no means fitted for van life but im gratful it keeps me sheltered. really enjoyed this video sorry for the second comment.

We purchased a ZOLEO for exactly that reason. You just never know! Stay safe at all times.

awesome to see you guys back on the road again ... started the Big Lap again 4 days ago [3rd time lucky] after probably 20K up and down the east coast but this time i'm determined nothing will go wrong and i'll make it to WA

[@retnav92]

Nice episode 👍. Heating water takes a drain on the battery packs, such as EcoFlow, and other brands. When camping, I heat water for instant soups/oatmeal/etc, on the propane camp stove. I do cheat a bit though, and make my coffee with a Keurig plugged into my EcoFlow, which in turn does amount to a big power-draw heating the water. But, gotta have the coffee. I recently moved up from the Delta 2 to the Delta 2 Max. A bit heavier unit, but more available power...for making coffee. 😎

[@karavanningdownunder]

You guys are the BEST!

[@OTRWA]

Hey guys...just dropping in to say we are glad you took care and drove safe...my oldies just arrived home today. Came back from QLD to WA...sorry If you got stuck behind them at any point...lol...Caravaners...hope you had fun.

[@georgegraham3342]

Hi guys. Thanks for your video - it brings back memories. I have a photo of our Urvan stopped on the same NSW/SA border with two children in NSW and two in SA, from 1988. Definitely go back to Broken Hill and spend a week there (we camped at Lake View caravan park) - Silverton (watch out for the dips in the road) Mundy Mundy plains, Daydream mine, Mootwingee National park, Tibooburra, Menindee and more! Enjoy!

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks heaps for watching! We definitely want to go back to that area to see it properly one day!

[@tricianicholls2371]

feral goats kept many farmers afloat during the drought Feral goats are also a resource and commercial exploitation of feral goats is an industry worth about $29 million a year. Many pastoralists in Australia now consider the capture and sale of feral goats to be an essential part of their business.

Torrens creek to aramac is interesting. We travelled by coaster bus from Perth , broke down at border village. Once repaired we travelled the reverse way back to Townsville 40° every day. No aircon. Love Australia thanks for your videos. I wish I’d known about your meet up. Cheers.

[@destinyridge]

Most of the goat meat goes to the USA. Most of them are range goats or wild goats. In draught times the farmers muster them and sell the goats and that is their income for a while.

[@phillroo7871]

Hey guys, glad to see you back in OZ, I do have a question regarding the car fire, did you ask how it started, I think when you experience things like that it's a great way to help others understand and basically use it as lessons learned for other watching your vids. Anyhow safe travels and regards from Korea

[@itsJackandMegan]

Hey how’s it going, thanks for watching! The fire was started apparently from the car over heating! But I think it must have been electrical. Honestly no way of knowing as the car was already on fire and the couple didn’t really know anything about cars unfortunately.

It's never good seeing other motorist in distress like that in the middle of nowhere. Thank goodness no one was hurt. Things like that really hammers it in how important it is to always have your car fully checked and serviced - especially when going on long remote road trips. Jack "my neck is always red..." Jack, are you saying you're a red neck? Just kidding. 😁 Stay safe out on the road guys.
