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.

A great slang word I haven't heard in years, "Poxy" 🤣🤣. And a whole new dimension of content to be explored with your drone stunts. Next video "When drones attack!". Enjoying your uploads guys 👍
The snake is an Elegant Sea Snake. Highly venomous, rarely bite. Normally washed ashore after a storm or trawler has been through the area.
We love following your real life adventures guys,keep up the great work 💕Dee and Daz
I really enjoyed your video. 👌🏼 Great channel. 🤝 ⭐️ Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼🇦🇱
Another awesome blog by the both of you. Thank you for stopping to take that dingo pic, it was an incredible shot. Also Megan, you cracked me up when you said “poxy”, I haven’t heard the word for years 😂 Classic!! 😊 Enjoy the rest of your travels around Fraser.
Hi Guys, did Fraser last year and loved it. It was our first time going and did all the usual prep, tyre pressures etc but bogged it off the barge on fraser in front of everyone as i forgot to put it in 4wd. My wife reminded me when we watched your vlog today. Anyway your guys are doing a great job and love the regular content. Cheers

Loving the intros in your past few episodes. It really captures the day. Megan's child-like innocence story-telling of drone near-death experience was funny.♥

I'm with Terrantino: nailed it again! Brought back fond memories about Fraser. Also good to see the Inskip approach, because we took the northern barge, so Inskip is new to me. Weirdly, we never saw any dingos, other than one dead one on the beach.
Happy Birthday Jack i hope you enjoyed that steak it looks delicious great video guys see you later Ron
Definitely a sea snake! Good work Jack! The sea snakes have a vertical tail, like an upright flipper ❤
Another beautiful video 😍
What a great birthday present! Happy birthday, Jack ! Enjoy Fraser and by the way, birthdays are not the best time to start eating healthy food 😂. Cheers mate and greetings from cold europe where winter is starting soon…
Happy birthday Jack and we love you both to
Aaah Fraser…. Our happy place. ☺️ Beautiful work once again guys. Such a magical place. Going back next year for what will be our 8th trip and never get sick of it.Glad you had a lovely birthday Jack. Megan the lights look cute. Definitely not “ poxy “ 😂 What a beautiful gesture it was for those folks to gift you a new camera. We can all see how much you love and appreciate your viewers and it means a lot to us all. Cheers :)
Jack: ‘let’s race’… Also Jack (when Megan starts winning): films Megan’s butt.. Happy birthday Jack🍻 Thanks for the video!
Nailed that intro again! I absolutely love the editing you guys do! I think Jack is right, looked like a sea snake with the tail it had. What a great birthday present! Even with the attack of the drone hahaha Cant wait to see more of your Fraser adventure

Happy birthday Jack!! Really appreciate your open and honest admission of your experiences with anxiety, and the passion for travel you both share with us all. Absolute ripper place to celebrate another orbit of the sun, love K'gari. Hope you enjoyed your time 🍻
Well done guys!
Happy birthday Jack, And yes I agree Frazer island is one great place, We we’re on Frazer in July
Awesome video. K'gari is my favourite place to camp. Inskip is usually easy this time of year. Gets more difficult in summer when there's heaps of traffic and really hot sand.
Been to Fraser Island a couple of times always stayed a week and its never long enough. Love sandy cape and the western side is usually very quiet.
Awesome episode jack and Megan 😃👍
Looks amazing enjoy
Happy Belated Birthday Jack, I’m glad you got back out to Fraser Is. I know how much you guys love it there. I actually saw you guys the other day (I’m certain) but I was running late for an appointment & didn’t have the time to chase ya down. Lucky escape for you guys me thinks 😂. You won’t be so lucky when you get to Tasmania because I’ve placed wanted signs all around the Island with your pictures on it 😏 Thanks for the great episode.

Happy Birthday Jack! I couldn't think of a better place to be. (yes, it was a sea snake) You made me feel very home sick. I lived on the Sunny Coast for 14 years, met my wife there & both our kids are Queenslanders. I've travelled to Frazer, Rainbow etc many times. Double Island between Noosa & Rainbow was our go to camping spot, often going on a Friday arvo after work at the drop of a hat (no matter what the tides) being based at Caloundra meant we were able to travel to many great places in South East Qld. (still trying to figure out "why" we moved back to S.A.) We really miss the Sunny Coast, Frazer etc. (we lost a good welding glove we used for the camp oven to a dingo on Frazer one night! I guess it smelled really good!) Another great episode. Cheers!!

Going to rainbow beach today
Sea snake. You can tell by the paddle tail.
0:51 That's an Olive Sea Snake , I've handled hundreds if not thousands of those in my years on the trawlers , even at full strength the big ones are easy to pick up by the tail because they lack enough muscle to curl up back on themselves when out of the water , the very small ones though are more agile . Being on the beach , I'd say that one had something wrong with it if not dead , ordinarily they never leave the sea . I have friends coming to visit from Sydney soon , they are hiring a 4wd and heading over to Fraser for a couple of days , I'll show them your videos before they go if I get the chance , glad the sciatic issue is resolved now Jack . Cheers guys 🙂

Hi i make make volgo video all the world
Jack, you need to start walking more - 5km is nothing. You should have brought the dog, keep you fit walking 10km a day.
@Gordon_L
Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately , dogs are not allowed in most Australian National Parks , that puts a big limit on where travellers and especially Vloggers can spend time . You can often transit through a Qld NP with a dog in the vehicle as long as it stays inside at all times . That's not always practical either . I don't agree with the rule but there you go .

Regarding the Apple watch; IF Apple says they gotta repair it, you'll have to pay for the repair, bad luck, better luck next time. BUT IF Apple says THEY CANT repair it, that's BS, this is Australia there are statutory protections. Call Apple (don't deal with the store) and raise a case. Tell them you were willing to pay for the repair, but Apple couldn't repair it and that you should get a new Apple Watch replacement at no cost. Push for it, you will get a new one. Trust me. Good luck.
