One Pack Wanderers Big Lap of Australia in Luna the Mazda BT-50

‪@OnePackWanderers‬ are back and this time they’re tackling Australia in a new Mazda.
It’s 2021. You’ve decided to travel the world. An adventure of a lifetime. High on your list is discovering Australia so you head down under, eager to explore the world’s oldest continent.
You arrive in Perth on the west coast. Stretched out in front of you lies almost 1.9 billion acres of land. You quickly realise you need a suitable vehicle to explore the planet’s sixth largest country, so you go car shopping. And the perfect set of wheels? A Mazda3, of course.
Just ask Tia and Cheveyo. They are the adventurous duo behind One Pack Wanderers, the world-famous travellers who video-record and share their global adventures via their popular KZbin channel. They know first-hand the capabilities of a 2005 Mazda3 sedan, especially in the world’s most rugged and beautiful terrain.
A year ago, the intrepid pair drove their Winning Blue Mazda3, which they nicknamed Blueberry, throughout Australia in a dream trip that explored the best of down under.
They started with a 3,500 kilometre drive to Melbourne and then decided to complete ‘The Big Lap’, a 15,000-kilometre circumnavigation of Australia. It was a big request for any car, but not for Blueberry.
Now they're back to finish what they started thanks the Luna the silver Mazda BT-50.
Seeing Australia through the infectiously joyous eyes of Tia & Cheveyo has been a gift. We highly recommend heading over to their channel to watch their adventures in Luna if you haven't already.
Will One Pack Wanderers be back in Australia soon? Who knows... Tell us where you think this dynamic duo missed and why they need to come back to see it!

Couldn't have asked for a better adventure partner than Luna 😊❤

[@firecrakka]

Couldn't have asked for better brand ambassadors... well done guys. 👏

[@bluedog1052]

Good onya guys, have been following your travels for quite some time now. Since you did such a good job show casing the Mazda brand and our great country of Australia, hopefully Mazda in other Nations might jump onboard if you do another significant road trip in the future.

[@chopper7352]

What are those black things covering your feet ? They almost look like shoes...but surely not... 😂

[@BendeGroot]

You guys are so genuine, and this has been a great partnership. It's been lovely following your travels! Hopefully this partnership has a follow-up.

[@peterwaugh9416]

You can do all the ad's you want for a car but to see them drive around Australia doing real things is the best advertisement you could ever get. Tia's smile is just an add on bonus

[@Preview43]

One of the only times I'll ever volunteer to sit and watch an ad. Watching these two take on Australia has been very entertaining and my next vehicle will likely be a Mazda.

[@AndrewAlanDavidson]

Cheveyo and Tia are the best ambassadors Mazda could possibly have. Super positive and genuine. Thank you Mazda for helping them complete their goals! (And if you havent watched and subscribed to their channel you are in for a treat. Some of the loveliest people, taking amazing footage around the world and doing it all in a humble and respectful way. They are the best!)

[@70chevs]

Mazda you picked a winner with the one pack wanderers. You could not have scripted a commercial better than this as it's the real deal.

[@craig1899]

Many Australians have come to love and admire Tia and Cheveyo whilst following their adventures around our amazing country. I think Mazda hit the jackpot sponsoring this wonderful couple. You couldn't have wished for better ambassadors to showcase your vehicles and represent your brand. Knowing that you have a reliable vehicle that will get you through rough terrain puts your mind at ease and allows your to focus on enjoying the experience.

[@jaredford8440]

Nice work Mazda for helping the One pack Wanderers achieve their dream in style 👌

[@batmanlives6456]

A credit to Mazda for supporting this couple’s efforts and their commitment to show Australia and their brilliant cars in such a good light

[@carokat1111]

Well done Mazda supporting these two. Such a beautiful couple and the ute really helped them to complete their lap.

[@ashman870]

Congratulations to the marketing team at Mazda Australia on what I’m sure will be a successful campaign. And congratulations to Tia and Cheveyo for completing your ‘Big Lap!’ I look forward to seeing where you go next!

[@muncheesuppar]

you picked 2 absolutely amazing humans in Tia and Chev , they really get australia and everywhere else they travel .

[@artistjoh]

This couple are the best ambassadors for Mazda the company ever had, and their international popularity means it probably has benefited Mazda globally. They have the ability to make their vehicle into a third character on their journey.

[@garyrowlands2334]

Thanks, Mazda, for choosing this amazing couple to be ambassadors for your brand. You couldn't have found a nicer couple. One of the things I liked was that there was no overt selling to us, the viewers. Just two people visiting our country, undertaking a travel adventure in the comfort of a great vehicle. There is no need to push your vehicles on the public. I prefer the indirect, softly, softly approach where the brand will speak for itself over time. Thanks again for giving this young couple this opportunity.

[@retrodude9185]

What a great advertisement for Mazda. Well done! Onepackwanderers!

[@continental_drift]

Thank you for supporting #onepackwanderers. The #BT50 did you proud.

[@belindaclarke7803]

for someone who does not like ads you two made the ad feel real becuase you both were the real deal great ad Mazda an honest ad.

[@Aaron_Cross]

Well done #Mazda in partnering with Tia & Cheveyo on their trip around Australia. ZOOM ZOOM 😀

[@crushingretirement]

Well I have never considered #Mazda before but Cheveyo's fuel consumption updates were impressive and I did like the look of the #BT50. Seriously clever marketing by #Mazda to support the nicest KZbinrs ‪@OnePackWanderers on the planet. Great ad!

[@MrTaylor1964]

Great to see One Pack Wanderers, this showed the BT50 on the Australian roads and how good they handle those 4x4 tracks. This video shows how a great marketing campaign should be, the BT50 was another ‘cast’ member which then shows what they really can do. Congratulations MAZDA.👏👍

[@LisaS23N]

Best real life ad ever. One pack Wanderers are amazing. Thanks Mazda Aus

[@FionaEm]

Love the One Pack Wanderers 😊 Now you just need to sponsor them on a working hoilday visa so we can keep following our favourite American couple's adventures here Down Under 😁

[@Shift0231]

Such an honest, heartfelt testimony and one that I feel honoured to somehow have been a part of and witnessed! Mazda picked a winner with you guys - the best test driving ever!

[@Gordon_L]

Two things missing from this video is a few seconds of " Tia for scale " somewhere and Cheveyo giving the fuel economy figures which were pretty impressive.

[@thies7831]

At least they had the "Big BT-50" well placed in the pictures. 12300km and as clean (on the outside) as if it just rolled out of the showroom.

[@giselecormier805]

Great ambassadors for Mazda and adventure travel in Australia.

[@karencornish1060]

Love this couple and love Mazda Australia for helping them in their quest around Australia. Tia and Cheveyo are just so into exploring every inch of the places that they visit that you feel like you are right there with them❤️🇦🇺 hopefully they will come back sooner rather than later to our beautiful country.🥰

[@docbob3030]

Goodonya MAZDA for getting behind this beautiful couple and enabling them to enjoy even more of Australia in their world travels 🎉

[@tarshnottrash1483]

Would watching Tia & Cheveyo travel Oz in a Mazda inspire me to purchase one??? Yes, yes it would

[@nataliedcruz6079]

Love Tia and Cheveyo! They are great ambassadors for the Mazda brand. My husband and I have owned 6 Mazdas over the past 20 years. We currently have three Mazdas in the household and love driving them. So reliable and luxurious, with grunt. So proud to see Mazda promote through One Pack Wanderers. They’re a beautiful couple who have deep respect for every country they visit.

[@bigbrotheriswatching8709]

What poise and grace! And that American couple look like nice people, too.

[@inodesnet]

I have been a massive fan of the One Pack Wanderers videos. Cheveyo & Tia are down to earth and I highly recommend anyone watching this, to watch their whole two travel series through Australia (amongst other adventures in Japan, Vietnam and New Zealand to mention a few). It was nostalgic for me watching their first attempt at a loop of Australia. My first second hand car was a 2000 Mazda 323, but I made the jump to a 2005 Mazda 3 (not too dissimilar to "Blueberry") I loved that car and was sad to see it go. But it became someone else's first second hand car.... and I am sure, that it made them a Mazda fan too. Fast forward almost 20 years, and I am still a Mazda fan having purchased the very first diesel CX-5 to arrive in Australia back in 2012. It the purchase of the CX-5 that our Japanese family challenged us on, because our family in Japan were always Toyota fans (although the mechanic and car fans back in Japan were 100% Mazda all the way). I believed in Mazda. From 2011, Mazda really doubled down on true Japanese engineering from being inspired by Samurai swords to create the world record high tensile steel (a patented steel that has helped them lead crash tests in Europe and America for years), through to new ways to paint their cars using motion capture from 20 year+ paint experts. We were proven right when out of hundreds of cars, the Mazda CX-5 won 2012 Japanese car of the year in Japan. Mazda would go on to dominate the Japan car of the year domestically in Japan for the next many years to follow showing other Japanese brands that you don't have to be big to be successful. We lived in Japan for an extended period of time recently (actually while Cheveyo & Tia were travelling in Australia the first time), and sure enough our daily car was once again an older model CX-5. These days though back in Australia, we have a diesel CX-8. Super reliable, roomy - the perfect road trip car.

[@darkartsteacher]

Well Mazda You made me watch a whole ad., beginning to the end. Yes , I am looking into the Mazda 3. But that was not the reason I watched the advertisement. Good on you Mazda.

[@bifish101]

Good to see One Pack Wanderers getting support from Mazda

[@monicaking2140]

I’ve never searched an ad before but read one pack wanders ad had dropped and here I am . :-) I’ve just had to get rid of my 17 year old Honda civic (I cried at the Mazda dealership ) . I bought a cx30 and I’m in my cute girl era with all the bells and whistles I do feel safer 😊

One Pack Wanderers, Mazda and Australia. What a combination.

[@lynnmoses3563]

My two favourite people on KZbin....Their amazing journey thru and around Australia is something to behold...I recommend for those that havent experienced their journey to go check out. Nice work Mazda, your cars used in this journey, are a testament to their staying power, and longevity thru some of the most difficult terrain in this country we call Australia... Well done Chev and Mia on all your amazing camera and drone work, and for the delightful and indomitable spirits that you are..We love you... 💜💜💜

Thank you Mazda for hooking up with the One Pack Wanderers. It’s a Win win all round 👍

[@betty-loufraser5264]

Congratulations Mazda partnering with my favourite KZbin channel 😊

[@Davo-i1s]

Bought a new 2010 Mazda 6 hatchback and loved it when it came time to replace it they didnt sell the hatch anymore in Australia so I found something else to buy. I have never bought another Mazda but from my experience with that Mazda 6 they definately make comfortable and reliable vehicles. What great ambassadors for the brand I have been following them since they arrived in Perth and bought blueberry. The first lap they did we were also doing the same and were a week or so in front of them we just made it over the bridge at Fitzroy Crossing before it was washed out.

[@achebwahs1111]

I didn't realise how attached to Blueberry and Luna I'd become until viewing this. I felt a little sad about it all

[@AussieTVMusic]

Good people doing good things. We all win.

[@danw3735]

Yay one of my fav travelling couple, nice work Mazda.

[@FredRose2001]

Congratulations to Mazda Australia, I’m a full time retired Graynomad, driving a very big heavy motorhome, I have travailed “Vic/Nsw/Qld” yet to do Sa/Nt/Wa. Watching your Mazda cope with light duty of-reoading, for me it’s the way to go, so a Mazda with a canopy on the back and a roof tent will do the job, if I was going to do the Gibb River Road and other demanding tracks, yes go the whole hog and buy a fully optioned off-road rig costing at least $250.000 but the hard core off-roading in isn’t my thing, so your BT50 will be perfect for the distance and road conditions.

[@hi12349]

What a great partnership! Luna has helped create some of the best content showcasing Australia

[@amygone2pot]

Thank you Luna, for keeping Tia and Cheveyo safe.

[@Gordon_L]

I had a B2000 dual cab for a few years , 1988 if I remember correctly. It never let me down , simple and reliable .

[@KLM_ZA]

Awesome story! 🎉 Go BT50!

[@chrisjoyce911]

Watch this pair do there trip just makes me think , why do so few car manufacturers do this , first time I’ve thought about checking out a Mazda as a new car … I avoid commercial TV .. well done

[@thies7831]

When we bought our second hand CX-5, the salesperson warned us to look after it. For anything we are doing blatantly wrong, somebody at Mazda in Japan will "top themselves" for not having designed that model absolutely foolproof. 5 years down the track nothing detrimental has happened. At least, we do not want to get anyone at Mazda into trouble ...

[@yodyod7]

Cheveyo and Tia are the best ambassadors Mazda could have. 👍

Getting in touch with Tia and Cheveyo to give them this opportunity was a wonderfully generous, do i care that it was for purely marketing purposes? Hell NO, has it made me consider a Mazda HELL YES. But what I'm enjoying most about this video, if it keeps going at this rate, it'll be the most watch video on Mazda's page.

It's a pity that the footage used in illustrating them being "turned back" from the Fitzroy Crossing (twice), was a few thousand kilometres away in the wrong direction and in the wrong State/Territory eg. Somewhere south of Alice Springs... Other than that "continuity error", a fairly good effort.

Just a prediction about mazda from a long time mazda owner, mazda will be defunct in Australia in ten or so years and possibly be bought by a chinese ev firm if you don't take the move to Electric Vehicles seriously, this is from a rotary engine tragic who built a 13b extended port powered E2000 twin cab.
