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.

Hi Steve, awesome episode, what an experience.

4K definitely fantastic, clear and sharp. Really enjoying re viewing the trip.

Fantastic episode some of the sites are amazing. Very inspiring. Loved seeing the Aussie skills trying to straighten the trailer axle, everyone mucking in to help, that is the Aussie spirit :-)

[@robyndehavilland1609]

So good to see these spots so many years ago. Strangely it doesn’t look like too much has changed 😊, those Cable Beach sunsets will always be beautiful. Cape Leveque is one of my favourite Kimberley places, I was lucky enough to visit Kooljaman before it closed. Really looking forward to the Gibb episode.

[@andypeacock6970]

One word awesome. Being a sand groper this trip inspired The wife and myself to get out and explore our own State. We travelled the same track up to and including part of the Gibb. I see in the last two videos you put in a few extra clips that were not in the original DVD set. Chicken nuggets had me in stitches. Cheers.

[@ExpeditionAustralia]

It’s a classic isn’t it! 😂

[@antonyjh1234]

There's 10.6kw's of energy in every litre of diesel, an average 24hr electricity usage for a single person is 9kwh, my last power bill was 4.07kwh per day, do you evet feel guilty using all this energy per tank, i.e. a 60 litre tank would be 156 days or 5.2 months of my total electricity use?

[@daverobertson1419]

Do you reckon you could do that trip with an electric vehicle towing that big heavy camper?

[@antonyjh1234]

So in about 3-400 years there will be 7 metres of sea level rise, ever increasing in speed when 2000 years later it will be 70 metres, all from the amount of energy we are putting into the system. The point isn't really to keep doing the same things we are now a different way, it was more about realising what this energy will mean, just so we can go for a drive.@@daverobertson1419
