[@lindathwaites2522]

What a stunning couple. Jess is such a sweetheart. I’m only new to this page but wanted to say Congratulations on reversing! I never learned to do it but my late husband and I just loved caravanning around this beautiful country so thank you for taking me back to those days and reliving memories through you two and your beautiful love 💕

[@hayleygreen3717]

Awesome awesome episode.👌👌👌good to see Jess behind the wheel 👌

[@MrOrgasmatron6969]

Stunning Place!!

[@gerdacoonan7250]

When you swam in Ewens Ponds, that is the last area of the Blue Lake water that flows to the sea, the lip of a massive saucer of water under the continent, limestone filtered !!. Glad you enjoyed the area, but too brief !!. Thanks for sharing, Cheers.

[@karlyherbert6195]

It was so great to meet Jess today - she is staying behind us at the RAC Holiday Park in Esperance! What a lovely girl! My little one came off her bike early this morning and Jess was straight over to help Marley before I could get there. And this afternoon she was kind enough to teach Marley how to ride her skateboard 🛹 Thought I’d find the channel she mentioned with her partner and WOW what a great video! Looking forward to following along! Safe travels!

[@markcarlile5209]

Matt you look like you are having a great time. Love the diving photography. Can’t wait for the next episode.

[@mikemorgan4670]

Beautiful. Love the sinkholes/ cenotes. Mea culpa on my cynical comment a few weeks back about the free dive lesson video. Now I truly appreciate it. Awesome tip thus far!

[@jimmyp164]

you guys should have a tv show

[@mattjames4527]

Good to see Jess back. Thought it was going south when u lost burkey and then got a van but now I have the Mrs as a fan so it’s a win win mate! Bring on my lap in 2022 🍻

[@moe_1886]

Great episode Guys. It's been so long since I drove along the GOR. Can't believe how much has changed, especially the 12 Apostles. Such a lovely drive. Can't wait for SA. Cheers!

[@kevinlincoln1591]

Got a love Kilsby’s and Ewens, Ewens is epic at night with a clear sky the stars are amazballs 🤙🏼

[@Nicholaswilms17]

I have been to the 12 Apostles in 2023 still very beautiful and I the great ocean road is amazing and when down there check out Warrnambool amazing spot to spend 2 weeks there

[@louisaklimentos7583]

Really beautiful video . Well done !

[@Starman_67]

WOW! So many great places to explore. Can't wait to get out there. Couple more years and the purchase (possibly) of a Vision 14. Rock on! \m/

[@slowboat6021]

love your work guys, hey Jess if you reckon those cliff's are dramatic, you'll be blown away when you see the "Bight" You guys seem to be going hammer and tongs, slow down and enjoy the trip.

[@rossp1762]

Yes definitely slowed down and enjoy it

[@whitey62]

100%, going way to fast. Slow it down.

[@neildon2216]

I use to ride my Harley down the great ocean road at least once a month in the warmer seasons, always a nice ride

[@glynndoyle8939]

Cant wait for the next episode, you have given me some good ideas.

[@theexplorelife]

We love hearing that mate!

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

Great adventure! Epic scenery! Thanks for sharing!👍

[@nath4x4moyle13]

Loving the road trip team. Cannot wait until next week.👌

[@explore_n_4x462]

GOR is amazingggg. We done it Xmas 19'. Stay safe guys 🤙🤙 really enjoying this series

[@cameronschenk5910]

Really enjoying the new range in content, seeing touring sights and activities along the usual routes that are different to the norm is refreshing. 👌🏼

[@rollyb5061]

what an epic episode, well done Jess and Matt, travel safe and keep the episodes happening

[@mikefish5885]

Such a good vid btw. Loved the chilled

[@stanyoung9546]

Hey guys I love that 79 it looks amazing and I would have that all day keep up the great video

[@theKhumbaguy]

This was an amazing trip and lovely.

[@allstargsr]

Awesome episode mate them blue lakes look amazing

[@jamiewilliams7618]

Well I am now adding all these places to my list to go to next year when I have enough annual leave saved up and great filming guys, I really enjoy see the amazing places that you go to

[@shauntaylor6175]

How good r us Qlders?, its bloody cold we wear jackets but we wear shorts and pluggers at the same time, yeewww. Ha ha. 🤙

[@davidcalverley6248]

next time you dive you hold the go pro mate more jess please.

[@rubiconazza]

Awesome, love this one

[@peterdoyle3205]

At the rate you are going you will do your lap in a few weeks. You have only had a cursory look at a couple of places in NSW and Victoria and ignored most of the great places in each state. Why the rush?

[@Dollarstodust]

New drinking game.... take a drink everytime they mention “deadline” etc...

[@theexplorelife]

Main plan for this trip is to see WA mate I have done most of NSW and Vic is close to home. We also have to be back in Melbourne for the 4x4 show so we will be doing more of Vic then. 🤙

[@73m98]

@@theexplorelife we’re keen to see you put your camper to good use

[@michaelbulla9231]

Those lakes and sink-hole dives look awesome 👌

[@colinross6259]

Lol, welcome to the bracing southern weather and waters.

[@StuTheFarmer]

Kinda feels like you skipped the great ocean road part of this great ocean road adventure. So much to see along there. Beach port and robe is an awesome area to though.

[@DropBeaRacing]

Ewen Ponds and Kilsby Sinkhole look amazing. The colour and clarity of the water 💦 12/10.

[@ubonrat8653]

Nice one guys

[@Dennis-zr3fb]

Im 60 and the missus and I enjoy watching your videos. But your right some things our bodies object violently about doing🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AusJD]

We are literally about 2 weeks behind you on the same path. Writing all these spots down. Thanks mate, awesome vid

[@mikefish5885]

Just made a $50 bet with the Mrs that Jess will be pregnant by end of year and we will be tuning in the the upgraded TIAV don’t let ya boi down mate😆

[@73m98]

I’ll match you

[@davidday1092]

Planning this trip in September, never been to the GOR myself. Loved this epp guys 👌

[@ducfatsvideos.6293]

Having lived and surfed down that way, I can honestly say the GOR is over way overrated, compared to other parts of Australia coastline. Limited places and expensive to stay in a van also. The NSW coastline, Sth coast in particular, parts of SA coast and the WA coast, from top to bottom...best in the world!

[@wtls000]

Awesome ep mate. So keen to check out those sinkholes. 🤙

[@ThiefImages]

You guys in a rush or something?

[@geoffbuckley1883]

Great Footage - I grew up down there, and you did it well.

[@Liam-oj9fj]

3rd wheeling 🥺

[@DanCabban]

Sucks I can only press the like once. Another epic episode 👌

[@mel-lvk9460]

Living the dream..

[@NicoBailey]

bro love the videos

[@azzurripro]

Was just in Mt Gambier last week. loved it. Just remember flying a drone in any SA national parks is not allowed unless you have a permit and pay a high filming fee.

[@weridegiantsmtb284]

Oi I saw u guys the other week pulling out near red rooster in w’bool! I was pulling in haha. Have a good trip an u missed the massive swell too!

[@chelseaprimmer3912]

I grew up in port Campbell. My parents still live there. My dad has never lived anywhere else but port campbell

[@rodneykay5223]

Love your work keep it up

[@theexplorelife]

cheers mate

[@whatathrushtv6590]

Cool as how was the trip from the mt to beachport an robe as I live not far from mt Gambier did U check out the little blue lake be careful on the beaches

[@kurtdavies7878]

Also did Jess just drop like 20kg or something between filming this and your story 🙀🙀 she looked unreal in the red haha bring back the red thong from the island hopping episode with crays 😻😻😻

[@andrewcoulter323]

Ewens ponds is a gem ey... I havent dived for many years now but that was a couple memorable dives there, there used to be a few large fresh water crayfish in there

[@TJANDMAC]

Mate ive never heard of these ponds, thats insane ! water clarity is perfect

[@mountainconstructions]

Yeah, most like it that way too

[@theexplorelife]

So sick mate 😍

[@stevenwilluweit3411]

Flying along, should have stopped in Portland and done some 4x4 on the dunes, great vid

[@saltykids5651]

Yeeeow

[@jedrhodes2513]

Yeah the boys

[@kudakwashemagwa298]

First time on this channel and I've been inspired , working and saving to build up a rig but this is what I wanna do , all these beautiful spots. Definitely subscribing.

[@theexplorelife]

glad you're enjoying it mate!

[@BigFellaGames]

I hope you went for a 4x4 in the Otways, nice and muddy this time of year.

[@mountainconstructions]

Bahahaha, "Pulls up at Bells Beach", shows Winkipop.

[@martinryan2570]

Enjoy your videos, but this one was rush, rush, rush. You missed a lot of the Great Ocean Road. As I was watching I was wondering why you didn't do the Otway Flyer, but as you explained later it was human error. Awesome 4WD tracks in the Otways too. Enjoy the rest of the trip. Looking forward to the next update.

[@michaelperrin3503]

How’s the look of that water 😍👌🌊

[@user-hx4ok5xk1j]

Ive been here lots of times

[@darlineainsworth1460]

Love your vids been watching since you took delivery of the van we will prob order . Just the 16 as we are a bit older as you mentioned lol . The only thing I would say is that the saying “this bad boy “ about so many things is a bit repetitive but it’s not a biggy still Gonna stay with ya 😎💕

[@anthonyjavni1931]

Welcome to the great Ocean road

[@hayleystevens1545]

I love this channel and was wondering if you will be doing more diving? Would love to see Jess spearfishing too and can’t wait for the helicopters!!!!!!!!

[@sezhewitt1432]

What a beautiful video to watch with the fam during lockdown. Love your energy and smiley faces guys! Will you two be coming through Perth? I have a little future pilot who has found her idol in Jess and would love the chance to meet you guys!

[@sloth_e]

If you think its dark now (daylight savings transition) you should see it if there wasn't daylight savings. Its always out in the month before and after.

[@deebee5236]

Coffee shops, bitumen and caravan parks, ken do that in the falcon

[@theexplorelife]

Do the next ep in your falcon mate 😂

[@paulyemary8522]

Throw us the keys and I’ll give it a go in HIS falcon!

[@andrewkehagias6664]

Youse guys seem like user in a bit of a rush I wish you spoke about Port Campbell a little bit

[@rayzor3463]

Yeah, it all feels a bit rushed to me and I expect them to have done the lap by the end of August,lol.

[@ducfatsvideos.6293]

Hey guys. We’re a retired couple, following this with interest as we have ordered a Vision RV 14, same as yours. Interested to see more info on your van, maybe a review of what you like or dislike after using it? Also, did you end up taking it over the weighbridge? Interested to know your travelling weight and how it tows etc. Enjoy your travels.

[@theexplorelife]

You’ll see the van get put to it’s limits in the next few weeks. Love it and would t chnage anything major just tiny things like 240 power near the bed and maybe a different handle on the outdoor hatches that’s it. Tows like a dream would be even better with no boat

[@omeba600]

You missed Otway Lighthouse! So many things to see and do along the way. Was the Helicopter tours over the 12 Apostles still operating. We did it 14years ago and now are planning a road trip for next year with the tin lids in tow!

[@theexplorelife]

Hey yeh it’s still operating 👌

[@benhawken6347]

Suspended bridge is good as went there on year 7 camp term 1 this year also it’s called Otway fly

When did you switch the 79 to a left hand drive 🤪?

[@theexplorelife]

gamechanging mod mate ;)

[@maccaflash6797]

Hey guys, think your great but my feeedback is .....we would enjoy watching you explore our country at a slower rate. Great ocean road is stunning and mate you speed through it and in the dark! We follow a lot of travellers and much prefer to see you enjoy and experience life rather than speed through. Your energy and personalities are good fun 👍🏻

[@theexplorelife]

thanks for the feedback mate, we're slowing down soon!
