About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.

Hard to describe what gives a channel that "raw" effect but with you guys its more about sincere and honest reactions you give to day to day occurrences, good and bad. It sets you apart from other travel vlogs in a big way. Really enjoy your vids, keep up the good work.

Loved the change of plans - we did that last year too! If you are heading to the Atherton Tablelands make sure you drop into Innot hot springs. There is a sandy river bed that you can lie in the hot water from the springs. Great to be first there with a cup of coffee in the morning! Free camp just off the road a few km away with markets at the campsite every couple of week-ends (don't get stuck as the stall will set up around you!) Thanks for the video and the great reminders of our trip :-)

Thanks again for another great episode 😄Just spent 6 weeks (May/June) travelling across to Perth (AND back). I had lists of all these Free Camps but we ended up searching most nights when possible for electricity to power our heating otherwise it was off to bed with thermals. We went via South Australia’s Eyre & York Peninsula and then the Margaret River …stunning scenery and met some great people but I didnt thaw out until we reached Moree NSW on our way home to Brisbane and warmth!🥰so I can understand you wanting to find the way out of the cold

Thanks for your wonderful videos Megan and Jack. My husband and I love your videos and have followed you since the early days - you are both so natural and genuine and have a real joy for the simple things in life. We did a trip in a ute and rooftop tent in 2016 from Perth to Victoria, a month in Tasmania, then up to Townsville - took 3 months but we just loved it all. Keep traveling your own path! Look forward to next week's episode.

a great episode guys well done. That region is filled with tales of hardship and fortune fortune. I saw Mary Kathleen as a productive uranium mine in the 70s and again when the decommissioning sale was held and in that water i believe there is still machinery used in mining the actual yellow cake as it was just best to leave it in there..one little chuckle i got was that the turkeys you mentioned a couple of times Jack were actually Guinea Fowl but who cares, it was great to see and hear you guys excitement. Travel Safe guys.

We love how real you are, how you interact with each other and your personalities are gold. Maybe we’ll see you on the track.

One of the truly brilliant things about your channel: being Australian, you’re not afraid of animals when they come to say hello! I’ve noticed that with other travel vlogs from non-Australian creators, that they seem to be only used to interacting with dogs & cats! I loved watching you with that little goat - so adorable!
