THE ORIGINAL BLURB FROM THE BIG LAP DVD CASE:
Taking a year or two off and driving around Australia is a dream that many people share. For the Baile family, tired of the rat race and yearning for distant horizons, their dream finally came true after 7 years of planning.
Join Steve, Jen, Savanna & Sara on their epic 46,600km journey of discovery as they leave behind friends, family and Melbourne city life and embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
Determined to get ‘off the beaten track’ and find some real adventure, the Baile’s set themselves the goal of visiting every state and territory and reaching the extremes of the continent...that’s the north, south, east, west, the exact centre and even the highest point at Mt Kosciuszko.
All while travelling many of Australia’s toughest roads and visiting many spectacular remote destinations.
Share their adventure in this 10 episode series filmed over 2 years that will give you hours of entertainment, ideas, plenty of laughs . . . and a few tears.
‘The Big Lap’ is a priceless insight into the real experience of travelling around Australia by road that will inspire you to make your own travel dreams a reality.

Thank you Steve. Having purchased the DVD's when they were released, watching it again has been an experience as we also have done a lap since seeing the DVD's the first time. Brings back many memories. We did our lap in a caravan so a little more comfort than what you had.

What an incredible lap adventure and so beautifully told. A dream that you made come true. So fascinating to see a lap from so long ago compared to current ones, so much is different and yet so much is the same. Loved every second of the entire series, and what a beautiful ending, thanks to you all 😊😊

Thanks for sharing, we also went travelling with our kids when they were young, it was fantastic, and very grateful we had the opportunity to do so,

[@snowman3195]

Thanks Steve and Jennifer for 10 magnificent episodes. It certainly brought back magic memories of our 2011 Big Lap. All the best for your future. Frosty.

We also did the big lap almost 30 years ago with our 1 year old daughter, now our daughter is doing the same with her husband and daughter ♥️ we loved watching our adventures. Thanks for sharing ☺️

Thanks Steve and Jennifer for a wonderful series about your trip around Australia. It was a great story that was told very well. I really appreciate all of the work that you did getting this to a suitable quality for KZbin. I have watched many channels with people travelling around Australia and this was one of the most enjoyable. It would be great to see an episode about what you have done since the big trip. Thanks again for sharing your trip.

Thanks Peter, we’ll publish a follow up video in the near future with an update of what we’re all up to.

Great series enjoyed every moment

[@chrisgrant3967]

A fitting end to a great series . Another edition to your family mate. Well down it now inspires me to do it even though my wife and I are approaching 70 +. And yes we’re going to rough it with our camper.

[@louiskudlak2256]

Was sad watching the end of your adventure, all good things must come to the end, all the best on your next adventures ❤

[@dannyconelly1454]

Good to watch the series again, still have the DVDs somewhere. When i bought them i wanted to do the overland track. I still havent as yet. About time I started making reasons to! Thanks for re releasing the series. A breath of fresh air from all the cookie cutter youtube shows.

[@ExpeditionAustralia]

Thanks Danny, I’ve got more Overland Track content in the pipeline, hopefully that gets you over the line. Stay tuned.

[@jimgraham8323]

What an epic journey, and a very well produced series. Enjoyed it immensely, now how about an update. As a father of four girls I would love to see how your girls have grown, what they remember of the trip. What has happened since returning?

[@ExpeditionAustralia]

Thanks Jim, we’re working on a ‘where are they now?’ video which should be ready soon.
