Congratulations Guys! We are so excited for your new chapter and can’t wait to get to know you better - looking forward to catching up again soon ❤❤❤ P, K & J
We can totally relate, Bianca worked for 9 mths last year and we had to drop our video down to fortnightly, as they’re just isn’t enough time to work fulltime and film and edit videos etc every week.
This will be suck a big adjustment for you both, but don’t stress to much everyone will still be here waiting for the next video when ever you upload it 😊
Enjoy living life to its fullest 🥰
Congratulations and Well Done 🎉. Zone are smart people to engage you both!
Thank you Big Oz for all the sharing and teaching you have provided from living your lives on screen on the road. All the ups n downs etc. We are sending Best wishes for this new direction life has bought to you, as always it’s a choice whether the new is received as a gift or not. We’ve loved seeing your precious children grow up too as well as yourselves. Jayda is such a brilliant young lady with that great sas, (mentioning sas as a wonderful strength to have so naturally), of which I hope she never looses and Jack the lil man with his terrific big mouth smiles, exciting hair cuts and lil boy big discoveries. I, we haven’t always been big commenters etc, but we’ve been with you there along your roads travelled. Sometimes catching up sometimes missed. Shed tears too, when hearing your news, grief comes in many ways, ours is happy grief! Anyhoo, Thank You Sian and Chris for your courage, intrepidness in creating a wonderful life for yourselves from virtually vim and spirit through the lense of a camera. Also Chris your drone work is tremendous. Love and Cheers from Jen n Co! 🥳🤩💝
Oh Sian, I cried with you (happy tears). We have loved every single video you’ve made and have followed you from the start. Wow, what a journey ❤ consider yourselves hugged from us. It’s not goodbye but more ‘see you later’. When you visit Tassie look us up. Not room for a van but a hot cuppa always. Much love from my family to yours 💜💜💜💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sian & Chris,
This is probably an ideal time for you to pause you travels. You have covered so much country and given us viewers/subscribers a great insight into what's out there to see without becoming repetitive. You have also provided some great insights into caravanning life and all it entails. Who can forget the Composting Toilet episode I still rate that as the best explanation of the composting toilets I've seen on TH-cam or anywhere, and that episode is just one of many.
I am not surprised Zone has taken you both on. They are wise to do so. You will both be an asset to Zone, with your experience and also importantly for your natural communication skills we've all seen on TH-cam. You have real life credibility with a great back catalogue you can steer people to. Being a Zone owner myself I am particularly pleased you have joined the team, congratulations and good luck in the future. We will miss your regular videos.
Congrats on the next chapter guys! Wish you all the best 👏😊
Family first. There are seasons in life , no stress , no need to feel guilty, people often only see the glam of travel and van life but don't understand the effort and work behind the scenes. People also underestimate the value of putting roots down for a while and the stability it brings particularly for kids and their development. Enjoy your next chapter!
So thrilled for you guys! You helped us so much to become gypsys on the road, we’ve loved watching you and wish you all the best in life!
Wow! You guys have been such an inspiration and while we will miss your weekly episodes we totally understand your decision. It is hard work putting together a episode every week. There is a lot of photography that get chopped down to make a single episode. You have inspired our travels and there are places we have seen and will still see thanks to you. All the best in your new chapter of life. We still hope that one day down the track we can cross paths. Your awesome 👏
Hats off to you guys, we think you are amazing and you should be proud of yourselves. It was so good to meet you in Airlie 3 years ago. The work and van life struggle is real, we've been stopped for work and Gem has been 4 to 5 days a week so still havent even done a walk thru vid of our new van lol, but we hit the road again in 2 weeks, cant wait!
I have watched you guys from the beginning. Packing up and selling while covid kicked in. The kids were so much younger. Good luck with whatever you do; thanks for the memories.
Sad news, happy news, tears, laughter, sending you guys hugs. Thank you for sharing your travel life with us every week, we’re so very happy for you guys.
Good luck and best wishes on your next adventures You should both feel EXTREMELY PROUD of what you have achieved . Congratulations. Onwards and upwards
I will miss my weekly Big Oz fix but I will still enjoy the more occasional Big Oz vids. 🙂 Look after yourselves and enjoy this next chapter in your lives. 💗
I have followed you guys since the beginning and have seen every Big Oz episode. I'm sure you inspired many people to take the plunge and travel and gave others hope during the dark Covid lockdowns. Selfishly I'll miss your weekly episodes. Wishing you all the very best for the next stanza in your lives.
Congratulations on your new ventures. You should be extremely proud of what you’ve accomplished. Your real life average joe perspective has been refreshing to watch.
We lived in our caravan fulltime for 11 yrrs and completed a lap of Australia in 2021. We are from Sydney but we bought a house in Cairns last yr as we love it here. So like you we are adjusting to a big house. We did not sell our caravan as we love our weekend trips away. So dont sell your caravan just yet.
We might see you at the Cspe as we are doing it in August for 3 weeks. I heard the PDR is pretty bad and Nolan river is worse.
Good luck in the next capter of your life. 😊
Congrates on your new chapter. You have helped many people both experienced and newbies through your stories. On a selfish note, I think you and Zone will be a great combo of differing experiences and the customers will be the winner. You guys care about what you do and that shines through. Again thank you.
We went to zone last week to finalise our van purchase and my husband thought he saw you guys there 😊 of course he didn’t tell me until we left. Good luck you two. Thanks for all of your content - we have learnt so much from you both. 🙏
We had such a great time at Wee Jasper and loved meeting you both and the kids (hope they are enjoying their spotto books). We will miss watching you every week but understand that your life takes directions that is best for your family. We are headed to Fraser right before the Brisbane camp out - will there be a possibility of maybe a day visit? Or we may delay our fraser trip by a day to come and say hi at the show.
You have created such a great community and you are both so welcoming to everyone.
Chris & Kelly
Well, all I can say is thank you for 3 years of great footage and stories. Good luck with the future team. We will still be here.
Wow, that was a shock. It's great to see you youngsters achieving so much in a relatively short time. Taking chances, pushing boundaries, leaving everything behind to explore Oz. A great leap of faith that helped you and your family grow. All the best for the future.
We almost crossed paths a few times. Daily Waters, Broome, Kununurra- could have given you guys some free Didgeridoo lessons 🤣
Oh wow, I honestly was not expecting this. So annoyed I missed this live, massive move but I also understand how hard it would be to try and juggle 2 full time jobs at the same time. Looking forward to catching up still in premieres, albeit not as regularly. Wishing you all the best with your new endeavours and hope you are enjoying "normal" life. I'm sure you'll be back on the road at some stage, its just a matter of when. Thanks for entertaining us for the last 3 years every Thursday pretty much. Will miss all the regular laughs and banter in the chat oh and the possibility of attending the birthday camp out 😪PS #lickthestick 😂
Wow guys, amazing news! Congratulations on your new adventure with Zone and family! Oh guys, I totally understand just how hard it is to produce the content constantly. It takes hours of filming and Deryck spend so so so many hours editing videos. Sometimes life is viewed through the lens rather than soaking in the experience some times. Well done on what you have achieved. You should feel proud of all you have created and all the travellers you have inspired. Best of luck guys, will keep in contact.
3 Years with two kids on the road is a great effort. Well done folks, enjoy the lifestyle change.
I'm so happy for you all but at the same time so sad that I won't get to watch one of my favourite families doing what they do best. Like many ive watched you from the start & enjoyed your content so much. You have given me lots of insight into what to expect when I start my travels. BTW got the patrol last week, what a beast. Take care & goodluck with it all, you will be missed xx❤
Will miss your weekly travels. They have been so good. Watching you all growing in confidence and fun. This next step in your lives will be as exciting and rewarding as the previous 3 years. We don't have a Zone but they certainly look like a great product. 😊
Take care guys on your latest adventure we feel you have made a good decision. We will miss you very much as we have been with you from the start. We still have your Big Oz sticker on our Landy and have been questioned about over here. Its great to hear Jayda & Jack are enjoying there school days, best days of your life.😉. Anyway love to you all for now. Roy & Cheryl xx
It’s been a pleasure to get to know you from day 1 !
You’ve inspired me and so many others to follow a dream.
Thank you for sharing your life with me.
You’ve chosen a new path and that’s fabulous. Good luck to your family ❤ best wishes to the kids. They’ll love the stability I’m sure.
Signing off now cos I’m really teary 😢😢😢…..
You know what I see?
You both look really happy😀
Thanks for sharing the last 3yrs, enjoyed every episode and loved watching the kids grow. Wish I could have been there for live episode, always found Thursdays hard to do live, at least it means you got the ads from me 😊.
Going to miss seeing your episodes, enjoy your new life and best of luck with all you do. Well done giving the kids an AWESOME start to life with some amazing experiences.
Im balling with you Sian! Im really going to miss you guys! I so looked forward to watching you. Please stop crying Sian we’ll all be here keeping an eye out for notifications and we’ll be watching with bated breath. Its been great watching the kids growing and transforming. We love you ❤❤❤
Congratulations guys. What a wonderful opportunity
You guys are amazing. I will miss seeing your smiling faces.
Congratulations on your new roles.
Good luck
Wow, I had a feeling that this was going to happen this year. I am so happy for you guys, but will miss having you and the kids in my life. Don't cry Sian, it is not goodbye, but see you on the next one. Hope to catch up with you guys in the future as I am about to launch my own TH-cam channel. The last 3 years have been an absolute pleasure to watch you on your journey. Can't wait to see your wedding day. Take care and stay safe. Steff, Ivan and the furkids.
OMG guys. Your making us cry with you 😜 Happy tears of coarse. We all move forward in life and you guys need to do what is right for you and your family. Steve and I are business owners so we really do get it. Thanks for taking us on your journey over the last 3 yrs. We look forward to keeping in touch with you over the next chapter in your lives.
Love you guys always 🥰🥰
What an amazing opportunity you have both been given with Zone. Certainly one that seems too good to not take up and hey, Sunshine Coast based...can't beat that! Hope to see you both around the sunny coast and look forward to seeing where life takes you next. Also looking forward to Gootchie
Congrats guys happy for you guys. Family always comes first.❤❤
Sorry to see you going as have followed your travels over the last year or so and watched all your early shows.We will be travelling full time soon and the knowledge you have shown us and places to stay is amazing.All the best for the new chapter in your life from Rod and Jenny 🦐🐟🦈🎣👍🍻
So so happy for you guys! 🍻
Thank you for inspiring our travels, we will definitely be revisiting your videos to plan further trips.
Enjoy your time out of the spotlight, well as much as you can living as celebrities.
😢😢😢Will miss you guy's so much we are setting our lives up. To go on the road full-time in two years when I retire because we have watched you guys from day one

So happy for you guy's. Like anything when it becomes hard work it is time to change or something has to change. So keen to see how things progress. Happy to still be subscribed and provide feedback n recipes 😅
Still devastated but know exactly how you feel and where you are at. Definitely think you should make the most of the Cape Trip and just enjoy n be in the moment
So grateful to be included in your family.
Would love to catch up one day
Naaaaw love, light & the best of wishes to you guys on this new chapter ❤❤❤❤
Omg! I knew something was going on? I was questioning what the scenario would have been. You know what guys? Good on you but I must say we’ll really miss seeing you on a weekly basis. But! We’re very happy for you! I can see the excitement in your faces and I can hear it in your voices. You were our top favs out of all the travelling families on TH-cam. We’ve been following you since the start and we’ll stick by you guys. Love to you and the kids. See ya when we see ya! ❤❤❤
I’m so happy for you but so sad 😞 we have watched you from the day you packed up your house now till the end. We are sad that we never got to meet you both. I guess it had to happen one day. 😢😢😢 hopefully when we travel up north we can catch up for a beer and wine. We will miss you. Thanks for everything. We will still keep seeing what you get up to. Good luck. Rob & Lyndal
I recognised the couch straight away, been watching you guys since episode 1, totally understand your decision especially having kids… don’t be sad, in the end viewers and followers only want the best for you and your family and that has to come first!
All the best for you guys ❤
Great to see you still doing what suits you guys and your family and in all those 3 years you have stayed true to yourselves.
We have followed you from the very beginning and watched your journey and were one of our favourite TH-camrs. We have had to just to unsubscribed to a lot of travelling TH-camrs due to a devastating change in our own circumstances but you have been the hardest to unsubscribed from. So you now working for Zone and stop full time travel does make it easier for us.
We had 7 months of full time travel before that came to a sudden holt due to an extremely serious health issue for my husband with terminal Brain Cancer. We have had to sell our van and truck and settle back into life in a house. Travelling was our dream and something we have worked our whole married life towards, 37 yrs. I can certainly relate to the tears and heartbreak Sian of not being able to travel. And yes massive massive grief. We have had a life changing event which has turned our life upside down and refocus on what is important and make the short time my husband has left as great as possible. Keep each other close and don’t’ ever take your loved ones for granted.
Good luck and all the best guys! We will miss the videos and thank you so much for the wonderful family memories that you were able to share with us all! Best wishes!❤
Well Played Team BigOZ...Still remember the Ranger Canopy fitout Vid.....What a ride...Enjoy being in the ZONE. PEACE.
Another chapter and another page in life to capture.Loved all your filming and knowledge you have set in my head about full time travelling which our new van is about 2 weeks away now (not a zone sorry but a Nova )House still not sold but itching to get on the road.All the best to you all and stay safe.Tight lines and god bless from Rod and Jenny 🦐🐟🦈🎣👍🙏
We are so happy for you guys and wish you guys all the best for the next chapter
It is so sad for all of us To not see you every week but we totally understand
Awww we will miss u guys lots 😢😢!! Have watched every episode u feel like family ❤ Really going to miss seeing Jayda and Jack out exploring too.
We do want to wish u all the best in yr new adventures thgh.
Luckily for us, we live on the SC and can only hope we run into u all one day to say thanks for sharing yr lives over the last 3 years. Was amazing to watch all yr travels. Good luck, and we can't wait to see another episode one day in the future.
P.S. Fraser sounds good, have wanted to go there for sooo long xxx
Love from Ruffy and Legs 😊
Good on you guys! What an effort putting videos up weekly! ….And for 3 years!!! Enjoy the time with the kids - love hearing about jack loving the toys at kinder :) will look forward to watching vids from you guys in the future! Make sure u get to tassie! U will love it! Take care ❤
Congratulations Zone have a major asset wishing u all of the best from South Africa 🇿🇦 .will keep an eye out for future videos.
We will miss following your adventures for sure, we will miss the kids growing up but how good is it that you have family time now. Well done to you guys, such a huge decision. Wishing you all the best in your new ventures. I get that you are upset Sian as it’s been a huge part of your life and you do have a big ‘family’.
Congratulations!! Very thankful for sharing your amazing travels journey and watching Jayda and Jack grow up also best wishes for the future Big Oz ❤
family comes first, will miss watching you guys travel. your one of my favourite families to watch, have enjoyed seeing the kids grow. little jack is so much like my young robert so watching jack grow has been like watching my robert all over again. thank you so much guys
So good to see your happy faces on TH-cam again. You all look so happy and well adjusted to "normal" life again. I've followed you since episode 1 and stopped watching "said family" as they are all about the look at me factor. You have always been genuine and that's what made us buy a caravan and want to travel. We really hope to one day meet you in person, either at your new property camp outs or if you come down to Tasmania for a holiday?
All the very best on your future and congratulations on becoming husband and wife. 🎉❤
Going to miss watching you guys. Congratulations on your new ventures.
Really going to miss watching you guys, I've watched you since the beginning and really going to miss watching the kids grow up as well especially Jack wow he's come a long way. All the best for your future and enjoy family life cause that's what it's all about, life is way too short and I know this personally from loosing my husband
Legends! Thanks so much for your videos! You were the first ‘caravanning’ TH-cam channel I subbed to! Inspired us to do our own 8 month semi-lap last year and it was the BEST!
Congratulations on your new venture. Hope all goes well for you. Will certainly miss your videos but very happy for you both. Look forward to hearing from you now & again.
One door shuts and another opens. Enjoy this next phase. Love your work.
Aaaaawww 😢, we were wondering where you were. Well good on you guys, go with that open door and excel in everything that comes your way, yes it's a new chapter😊 hey Sian, don't you worry about ugly crying, we were sitting here watching and crying 😢😢😢 with you. All the best to you, Chris, Jayda and Jack. Hold on tight to each other, because we are aware of the caravan business lifestyle, just pls don't get caught up in going your separate ways too often!!!!🥂🍻
Congrats guys ✌🏽 What a great opportunity with Zone & the Sunny coast suits you I think. Not a bad spot to base yourselves in for now. 😊 Your lives will still be an adventure, and I’m sure you’ll still be part of the socials with all your regulars tuned in. Sudden changes can be emotional, but take it all in your stride and enjoy the opportunities 💙
Don't feel guilty, you guys have shared your lives for the last few years and let us see Australia vicariously. You are allowed to enjoy your children and lives without having to miss the little moments because you are looking through a camera lens. You are getting to work in an industry that you are passionate about and know doubt get to do some pretty cool stuff. Zone are very lucky to have your input and skills. Enjoy !
We have good friends who have a son who is very successful with social media, his life is not his own! Enjoy your freedom 😊
Congratulations for your new adventure. It’s a shame I won’t get the chance to meet you guys personally. Have a great Cape York trip.
Nothing in life stays the same! You have to do what is right for your family! All the best for the future! I’ve followed you from the start and it’s been fun a blast tuning in to your travels each week. It was great to meet you at the Wee Jasper camp out. Cheers
🤯 so grateful for the past 3 years. It’s been great to follow your journey and experiences. Congratulations on the job opportunities. Zone are very lucky to have you both on board. I will miss your weekly episodes 😢😢however look forward to your impromptu episodes in the future.
It has been such a pleasure being part of your life and travels. We have seen Jack grow up and watched Jayda turn into a gorgeous young lady. My Chris and I will miss the Thursday night Bloopers. We look forward to future updates. Many Hugs and kisses to you all.
I am off to find a therapist now!! 😂😂😂
Well done guys. We have totally enjoyed your adventures❤❤❤. I'm turning 75 yrs young next year and have just retired. Our new van is due September this year and we are looking forward to the future travelling WHILE WE CAN.🌄🌅
Thanks for the fantastic content over the past three years.🥂🥂
Best of luck with your new direction, sounds like you have found your niche ❤
Looking forward to seeing what the future brings
Must admit. @11:00 its not holiday life. Its alot of work involved making vid with little incentive. With kids growing, cant be on road full time. I think you guys made right move going working with zone rv with all the experience you gain during travel. Surely it can be quite beneficial towards the company.
So pleased I’ve finally found out why you stopped TH-cam! Been watching your episodes for months as my go to when the kids go to bed. You have inspired me to travel again soon. Did a couple of months through the Territory a few years ago in a camper trailer with 3 young sons during a marriage breakdown & it was still an amazing experience. Loved watching a real family travel unlike trip in a v..😜 You guys kept it real. Hoping to save enough for a van when the kids leave home & I retire! I will miss watching your episodes but sometimes life throws you a curve ball ! If you have any suggestions for solo female trippers on TH-cam let me know. I now have a massive void to fill. P.S. don’t get caught up in the rat race
Wow, guys, we have been checking your channel and worried about what was going on. Onward and upwards. Good luck with your next chapters. We will miss you guys. We have watched Jack and Jayda grow up. Love you guys xxx
Wow. Congratulations guys, sorry have been a bit behind on your episodes as we have been doing our own trip and currently in Tassie
You guys are great and helped us do this trip we are doing. You will always be there for the community and look forward to what ever you put out.
So bloody stoked for your family 🙌🏼 sucks that we missed a camp out, all the best in your future endeavours 🍻 May just have to put our head in Zone when we finally get to QLD 😂
Yay! No more shilling on my feed 😂
OMG well done guys good for you, see you in September when we come over from WA for some warranty repairs👍 bit gutted but happy for you all🙏
I am so gutted about it, but I am so happy for you guys. I wish you the best in everything you guys do with Zone and your new endeavour. Will miss watching you guys but don’t be strangers
you have
definately kept it real wish we could come to the last camp out
Thanks for the memories. Your Andy’s Chasm episode was one of your best. I’m hoping you do the video on how youtube works that you said you’d do as I’m always wondering how some of these people do it. A behind the scenes look should be very interesting. Good luck with your new normal life. 👌
We watched you guys from the start. Will miss watching your episodes. So glad we came along to your Vic camp out now!
Wow amazing times ahead for you guys and the kids. Have thoroughly enjoyed your travels and watching your 2 beautiful kids grow up. Good luck to you all.😢🎉
Sorry to hear the news guys. Sad for us, but all the very best in your new ventures.
Wow wow …. Congrats guys and all the very best for the future…. Nailed it. Sorry we didn’t get a chance to catch up @ WJ… all the best guys 🤙🍻
Totally understand, but not going to lie….bummed that we won’t ever get to attend a camp out in WA! Hope this change makes a huge difference to your lives 🤍
Congrats Guys, will miss your episodes 😢 maybe I'll see you when I come too look at the new Expodition😊
Please film, at least snippets along the way, of the Cape. We are going next year and are currently planning our trip. We were really looking forward to your realistic insight into it.
Thank you and congrats guys!
So sorry to see you guy go,have love all your shows,good 3for the future and enjoy your family life and work 😢😢
Good luck guys and we’ll still follow to see what you’re up to. Hope to catch you around South East QLD somewhere
Congratulations guys it has been a blast watching yous
Was looking forward to catching up at a camp out, we will miss out as we get caravan at the end of the year. You guys have to do what's best for you, all the best with your new adventures
Wow - have watched you guys since the beginning. What a life change. Good on you for being brave enough to do it. Look forward to meeting up at the super show.
Wishing both of you best wishes in your future endeavors. Your RV journey across different parts of Australia was awesome.
That’s awesome guys congrats. What a great opportunity with a great company very jealous lol. All those years of travelling and making forever memories and the hard work along the way has led to this great opportunity.
Wow, I’m so going to miss your episodes but I can totally understand where and why you’re taking this wonderful opportunity, even though I’m feeling emotional probably for you guys awesome
You have to do what is best for you and your family. I have enjoyed every episode and wish you both well for the future. Look forward to any catchups.
FANTASTIC! Proud of your decision - well done!
Omg...your crying had me crying that I had to go get a bowl of icecream 😂😂 I bought a sticker off you today, so I'm glad I have that as a great memory. I know you said you are going casual and I WILL be looking forward to those. I was watching a movie when my phone said you are going live but when I turned it on I had to go to the beginning and watch it, not live. 😢 great news for you guys, life changes so easy. We are 5 weeks away from living on the road ourselves. No Youtubing but only instagram and FB. We are looking forward to it but thank you for being you. We have both enjoyed seeing all your new episodes. All the best from me of "Smithy's Adventures". I better eat this icecream. Lucky I like it soft 😂 all the best guys. Xox❤ Jules.😊
