So what do you actually do for work? How do you fund your travels? These are the questions we get asked the most and we've finally made a video about it!
This is part 1 of a 2-part series showing what we do for work while we travel around Australia.
This first video gives a behind-the-scenes look at a week in the life of a content creator caravanning Australia, including how we make our TH-cam videos, how long it takes, what's involved with filming, how we manage our time and the extra jobs involved with running our business.
In Part 2 we'll answer YOUR questions about working while travelling Australia, TH-cam, income, camera gear etc so drop any questions you have in the comments below.
We wouldn't have this job if it wasn't for YOU following along our adventure so a huge thank you for every view, like, comment, subscribe and beer. We appreciate it more than you know!

This is inspiring Brian and kayley! you guys work hard for your crust. I have always thought you were doll bludgers living off us hard working Australians.
hi kyle what moisturiser do you use i hear you have the softest hands in the west
Love watching you guys, love that you guys don’t dramatist everything just to get views, you guys are genuine and that’s what makes you so enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work and can’t wait to see what adventures are coming up❤
I think you are one of the most wholesome and legitimate caravan content providers on the social media platforms at the moment. Thanks for showing that you’re not just on a holiday but are working hard towards providing entertaining clips.
That means a great deal to us mate, thanks for the support 🙏
That was super interesting, it always amazes me how much work it is! Thank you for sharing it with us 😊
Glad you enjoyed Emma 🥰
Enjoyed yet another video from you guys. We have been travelling ourselves and have waited until we get home to catch up on our regular channels. You’re in our top five favourites. Ironically 4 of the 5 of you catch up with each other at times and we love seeing that. Thanks for showing your behind the scenes and we love that you don’t do a dramatic thumbnail for the TH-cam. We find that you all have different strengths and appeal in different ways, and you all have improved in front of the camera as well. I love your interesting facts that you do Brad on the different locations. I only said the other day that you too should have been a teacher as well as Hayley.
Looking forward to seeing the next adventure as you film it.
Cheers
Sharon & Jon
Hi guys, thanks so much for the kind words! Hope you had a great adventure & we are very appreciative of you support 😊 See you guys on the next one 🍻
Awesome vids as always. Thanks for the heads up of behind the scenes. Very informative. Keep on Keeping on Guys
Nice video Brad and Hayley, we enjoyed this one (as we always do), a lot of work making such great content. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks guys
I’ve followed you guys from day one, I still remember your first video when you basically said you had no idea what you were doing but you were doing it anyway 😂 Congrats on what you’ve achieved and the fact that you’re inspiring others to get out there and enjoy this fabulous country of ours. 👏👏
Cheers for tuning in for the last 2 years Greg! We still don't know what were doing but were doing it haha!!
Hayley and Brad.
Give yourselves a pat on the back 👏
I was putting off watching this vlog but gave it a chance and,WOW 😮 you guys produced one of the Best we have watched in a long time! 👍
So well edited and produced with buckets of concise, honest and revealing information.
So glad we watched and thank you for all the work you put into this one just to lay it all out for us.

Awesome 🤩 👌🏼💯👏🤷🏻♂️🫡👍🦆
Thanks for giving it a chance guys, very different to our usual stuff but hopefully a good insight into what were doing for work this year 😊
Life savers, we are just getting started in our channel, love your content guy,
you guys actually convinced us to buy a caravan again and do this lifestyle.
Thats bloody awesome to hear guys, safe travels 🙌
The video was awesome. To see how much work goes into a single episode was eye opening. Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos, they are truthful and real.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏼😃
I never realised just how much goes in to producing your videos. Very interesting. Keep up the good work. I travel everywhere with you seeing I can’t do it myself. stay Safe xxx
Thanks for watching Annette! Glad we can make it look somewhat seamless for you to enjoy 😊
Brad n Haley. I've been watching for a while and guys both myself and my wife Alison love your videos.
Thanks for sharing your story about working online 👍 ❤
Thanks for tuning in Paul & Alison, we really appreciate your ongoing support guys 🙏🥰
We watch every single one of your videos. They are always entertaining, informative and interesting.
One of the best videos in this genre that I've seen. Very informative. Great that you showed just how much work has to happen to be a successful traveling you-tuber. Loved seeing the trello spreadsheet and how you organise your days. A lot of work. Well done guys.
Sounds very demanding.
We watch all your videos, very interesting 😊, love what you do.
I usually don't comment, but this time l need to praise you both for the underwater videos, they are soo bloody good, just a wow.
Thankyou
Thanks Leanne, we are itching to get back into our diving 😁
Awesome 😂I enjoyed your journey 😊
You guys are the best we love watching all your videos guys! Keep it up legends 🙌🙌

If ur content is good im clicking just like ur channel great honest people and great content...
Love ur channel
Thanks Daniel, we appreciate the support mate 😃
Thank you Brad and Hayley for this video, we now know how your U tube releases are so amazing. The work you guys put into each and every episode is testament to how much you care about the work you do. We believe your visual content is the best of all the people we follow. We watch every week and love every episode 🥰 Take care guys
Thanks Sharon, your kind words mean a great deal to us. Thank you for tuning in. ♥️
Best travel Australia content by far. Well done guys 🤘
Thanks for the high praise Gav 🙌🏼😃
This is one of my faves of your videos. I do a small channel and edit our weekender travels for family and a small following, so this video was so interesting, honest and made me feel a part of what you do. We know it's not easy, and u don't need to make excuses for your lifestyle. We all have hard days, busy days, and this showed us yours.
Loved it. Thanks guys
If you're bored, have a look at our tiny u tube flicks;
Adam and Jen on the move
An amazing insight into your very busy lives . We have spoken to other full time TH-camrs and have full respect for what and how you provide TH-cams for the rest of us to enjoy frequently . Well done and thank you . And by the way , you are or have been in our favourite part of WA ( we actually live in Perth ) .
Hey guys awesome real episode, very interesting to see how much work goes into your videos, nothing but respect for all your hard work. Being Brisbane based, I didn't pass up the chance to go to the show and meet you guys, chatted with Hayley for a little while (unfortunately Brad was busy showing people around at the time). this was definitely my highlight of the day at the show. My wife and I are heading to WA tomorrow for 6 weeks which will be spent visiting your recent locations, we are super excited. Keep up the awesome work, oh and we both absolutely love the Zone van, but love watching you guys too!
Really insightful video and great to see all the amazing effort you guys put into making your content 👏🏻 Only stumbled acrosss your channel a few months back and we’ve already caught up on all your vids 😂 ps don’t think you need any clickbaity titles in your thumbnails? your content, likability, film work and amazing locations are enough to keep people watching 🔥
Hey Chris! Thanks for tuning in again mate. We don't either, were happy with something clickable enough that relates to the content to reach a wider audience 😃
You’re content is always amazing guys , thanks for sharing what you do 👍
Thanks for watching! Jon, we are very grateful for the support 😀
Two of the most genuine nicest legends on TH-cam. After meeting you at Brisbane c/van show at Zone and down by the river, I can honestly say youre both even better in the flesh.
You definitely helped influence our decision with our Zone build. Legends ❤
Thats very kind of you guys, the countdown is on for the new home on wheels! So lovely to meet you & will keep an eye out for you when you hit the road 😊♥️
Great video guys
We're getting the rewards guys with the great videos you both deliver about this beautiful country ❤️
As always guys awesome 🤗love watching your channel never miss an episode 👍
Thank you so much for your support Gordo 😀
Hi Brad and Hayley, love you channel and contents, always open and honest and can see that you guys are putting in hard yards to provide good content. I am using some of your content in planning our own lap next year. maybe see you on the road sometime or maybe when you're in sunny Cairns next time 👍👍
Thank you! Yes there is a good chance we will pop up somewhere there 😀
You guys do a awesome job thanks for taking us threw what you do to get these videos out 👏❤️
Thanks for watching!
Love your show and the caravan is beautiful 😍
Really enjoyed this video and had no idea that you had to adhere to such strict timelines in order to get your vlogs out on a regular basis. Have been following you since your initial departure from Brisbane and really enjoy your videos. The content is consistently good, the drone footage is excellent, and the places you have covered are amazing. But above all, what makes your videos so good is the two of you. You are both positive, full of energy, well grounded, natural, great role models for all, and overall a “wholesome” couple (that may sound corny in today’s society but it is true!).
So, if you are worried about making your thumb sketches each week to attract your viewers, don’t be, because anyone who does watch your vlog will become rusted on Subscribers! Don’t be tempted into Click Bait, or concocted dramatic situations (as two couples from your Cape York trip are doing) as that is simply not you guys! Just keep on doing what you are already doing!
Hey Jimbo, we really appreciate the kind words mate. It has been an awesome trip, and documenting the travels has been both challenging and rewarding. We will always stay true to ourselves and our morals. Bloody awesome to hear you've been here since the beginning too, thanks for tuning in once again 🍻
YOUR VIDEOS ARE LOVELY. GREETINGS FROM POLAND .
Thanks for tuning in from the other side of the globe! 🇵🇱 🍻
Thank you for sharing your working week with us! Love watching you both every week 🙌🏻
Thanks guys ♥️
Love this insight into your day to day lives.
Sometimes people only ever see the highlights on TH-cam and don't understand how much work goes into making a video! Kudos to you both. Hard work pays off!
Thanks for the support Tom 🙌
I love the quality of your videos.
That was a wonderful insight into your working and travelling life. It's a lot of hard work! However, it's your passion, enthusiasm and humility that comes over in spades. Thanks for sharing it all!
Thanks Loz, as always very grateful for your support 🙌
Great insight, my partner was dead keen on doing utube, I told him it’s not easy as there’s so much stuff you have to do behind the scenes. Showed him your excellent comprehensive video of the goings on in utube land….his response…..yeah nah…..
Yes its a bit more full on than you'd think!
Cool Ep guys
What an eye opening episode guys. Well done.
Alot more work goes in than I thought. You both deserve the lifestyle you've created. 👌👍
Thanks for the kind words guys. Glad you can appreciate the work that goes into this labour of love! Safe travels guys, might catch you out there one day 👍
Great to watch behind the scenes and the excellent work you guys do. It’s definitely hard work to do what you do but it shows in the quality and enjoyment of your videos. Every time I watch one I want to hitch up the van!!!!
Haha its dangerous this travel bug!!
I actually look for your videos now, they’re always entertaining and informative so hats off to you both. I started watching because of the Zone, but stay because of your content. I may never get to some of the places you go, but I admire the way you tackle anything with gusto and you always show both sides - the good and the not so good. Enjoy your travels and I’ll be sure to chip in for a few more beers for you.
Thanks for the kind words guys, really appreciate the support it motivates us more thank you know. Hope you're well & safe travels 😀
Love the "behind the scenes" video. Glad to see you guys still get time to enjoy the little things that travelling around is all about, even with all the work you guys put in!
Thanks guys, it’s definitely important to enjoy the little things 🙏🏼
Hi had no idea how much you put in for my enjoyment! Thanks safe travels!
This was really good insight into what it takes to operate a small business, it’s hard yakka, but extremely rewarding when you succeed. Integrity goes along way today, many people become tired of clickbait thumbnails with empty content that follows. You two are natural and your enthusiasm always shines through, you also have a nice balance of content in your videos. Loved the flight shots you managed to get whilst on board, and BNE River actually looked good for a change.. safe travels🇦🇺
Thanks for the kind words! That week in Brissy was bloody spectacular weather wise 🙌
Hi Guys - just wanted to say that I watch a lot of TH-cam travellers & you guys are my favourites, keep doing what you do, you are the best 💙🌸
Thanks for the support Liz ♥️
Loved this! You guys work so hard but looks like you are enjoying it along the way 🙌🙌
We remember your very first video and have watched every episode since. It's been fabulous watching you both become so confident and creative. A lot of hard work but the experiences I'm sure are definitely worth it. Safe travels !
Amazing, i can see you've been subscribed since the beginning! ♥️ We still have no idea what we are doing but always moving forward and trying to learn & improve. Its the spice of life hey 😀
Brilliant episode, so informative. All your episodes are very high quality and well thought through and this one shows that it's only because of a lot of hard work. One question, what software do you use for video editing?
Don’t worry about too much you two
You are smashing it
Every Ep is refreshing and lively and informative
Keep on keeping on
West is best 👍
Thank you Wayne! Will do! 🙌🏼
Hi Guys, we wanted to pop on and say how much we love watching your episodes 😊 we enjoy seeing behind the scenes and how much work goes into creating what you do. Your episodes on the Ningaloo Coast were awesome! And it’s definitely on our bucket list!
Thanks so much for tuning in guys. It’s such a special place for us. You will love it over there 🙌🏼
Thanks for a 'real' video this week! Other info videos talk about what you two showed us, so thanks!
And I think that with the'thumbnail' for you tubers! I guess for new people that are flicking through you tube then the thumbnail may be a thing but fir the rest of us who have subscribed to your channel and make regular comments because we watch your videos each week, it's you two that we love to watch and what your doing and where! You are such an awesome couple to watch and we look forward to each video that you provide! So thankyou to you two for your huge efforts to bring to us what you do! Seriously good!! Phil
Thanks for sharing all the work that goes into the videos we enjoy so much. I know its important to have a good Thumbnail But for me I'm just ready to watch whenever you post one up
Thanks for the support mate 😁
Great insights. I recon you are top of the game in the TH-cam travel vlogs. We watch all the videos, does not matter if tje thumbnail is "good" or not
That means a lot mate, very appreciative of your support 🙌
Thoroughly enjoyed the episode guy's, and we really appreciate the effort involved to put them together.
Cheers ay
Thanks team, love ya work 🤙🏼🍻
Your the best so natural. Appreciate the work that goes in to creating content.
Thank you so much 🤗
Thanks, another great episode.
Our pleasure!
My husband and I watch all of your videos! We love the way your videos are edited (much better than some other TH-cam couples traveling Australia). Keep it up and enjoy your trip! You guys are blessed to be living the dream! ❤
Thank you for such a kind comment ♥️
Great insight! Thanks for taking the time out to show us.
Our pleasure! 😊
Another great one guys, love reading the comments, so proud of you guys ,cant wait to buy yas a beer at the rocks.❤
Looking forward to it guys, safe travels ❤️❤️
Video editing is very good, I thought it must be outsourced.
Background music is also good and unobtrusive - surprising for an old fogey like me.
I've been watching Bush Tucker Man, a fabulous old ABC tv show and music is such a perfect fit.
No surprise I play acoustic guitar to the full moon and stars - that's venus setting after sunset early Aug.
🎇🥇
You Bloody Legends.
I said to Marnie, we need to buy you a beer again.
Then we watched this episode and I said , if we feature in the Brisbane caravan clip we would give you double.
So happy we had time with you in Brisbane.
Things are going our way better then expected and we will be on the road hopefully one year earlier then planned.
Then we can sit by a camp fire and have a real beer with you two.
Keep living the good life.
Thanks so much for the support team ♥️ Bloody awesome news, how exciting for you 2. Absolutely, look forward to it 🍻
You guys are amazing love your videos keep up the fantastic content ❤
A great episode guys, i had somewhat of an idea what it could involve to be a youtuber but it's even more than i thought. We've been following you guys from day one, and i've just realised that almost a year ago, when we picked up our Peregrine from ZoneRV we saw your old van (Kedron) parked just outside ZoneRV and messaged you. We had no idea you were switching. What i'm saying is, you've been doing this already quite some time and we still enjoy every episode because they're genuine, informative and enjoyable. Keep it going guys, we're big fans. Who knows we might bump into you some day now that we're on the road full time too but just twice your age lol.
Thanks Hans! Its been a crazy few years for sure. Thanks for following along, we are very grateful for the support 😁
Really appreciate and relate on so many aspects of this awesome episode guys. So enjoyed it, thank you for taking the time to create it. Have fun over there as you hit the snow wooo hoooo ❄️ ⛄️
Much appreciated guys! Will do 😃
Hi Brad & Hayley
Great content & video. Really interesting to see your daily routine, how you manage to upload a video each week, plus everything else. Love to know what the managing check list program is that you use. You guys are so good together, keep smiling & enjoy!
Cheers Marg
Thanks Marg! Hope you guys are well and getting a chance to get out in Mildred 🏕️ The program is called Trello, free to us and simple enough to use 😀
@@our.australia.trip. We are getting away when we can but still dreaming of the day that we can do it whenever we'd like. Dreams keep us going!
Thanks for the tip, I'll check out Trello - I used to use something called Asana a long time ago. I think I need some of your management skills. Cheers Marg
Ooh this should be interesting, looking forward to watching and learning a bit about what it's like 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Great video, thanks for sharing! We love you guys!
Thanks for watching! It’s our pleasure 😊
The content is always engaging, the photography & videography is sublime, the thumbnail is better than you think. I’ve had depression for the last 4 years & was looking for something to give me some inspiration; I fell into the OAT rabbit hole & raved about it to the family. Hubby started watching it & reckons it’s the best Aussie travel content going. Major fans, keep it up guys 💕💕💕💕
So thankful for your support Vicki ♥️
Interesting insight into your work life
This was a really cool vid guys...I'm always interested in seeing the "behind the scenes" stuff that shows that the effort put into the final result.
Thanks Steve! Bit of an odd ball from us but i think theres definitely value in show the BTS 😊
Thanks for the insight of what goes on behind the scenes, your both extremely hard workers have a great respect for both of you.. stay safe and keep smiling.😊
Much appreciated!
Good job guys, we don’t always watch your vids but glad we watched this one. Helps us appreciate the work you put into it.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for the insight, Gold. I love your content .
Glad you enjoyed it Dave 😀🙌🏼
Wow loved this episode keep them coming really interesting to see how much work goes into making each one
Thanks for tuning in Joanne 😊
Great video guys, love your honesty and being so genuine.. top stuff👍
Glad you enjoyed it Waz 🙏🏼
Really enjoyed the video. Found it incredibly interesting and informative. Keep up the good work.
Awesome, thank you!
Love seeing this kind of stuff! Well done guys!
I love this video, guys. I've been watching for ages and love every one. It almost seems you're doing too much work. :-( Had to laugh at the reference to a Trello board :-) But I guess you know what you're doing and are making the most of the opportunities that present themselves. Keep up the great work b ut remember to enjoy every day. See ya out there!
Hey guys love all your content, we have been following you for some time and to watch such genuine people is awesome. We will continue to follow stay true to you :). Just a quick question can I ask what program you use for your daily/weekly/monthly organising? Cheers
You guys shouldn't get stressed the videos are always great
Thanks for tuning in Dale 😀
Wow guys, you are so busy, so much work, that’s serious discipline and dedication. Glad that you are still able to find a balance and enjoy your travels at the same time. Great that it’s worked for you, I sense a big number coming soon 😊😊. PS I can not believe you lost your Cape episodes Brad!! 😮😂
Thanks Robyn, it is a lot of effort but well worth it in the end 🙌 We've learnt so much and gained so many life experiences along the way. I cant believe it either, such a rookie mistake 🥲
really like your videos, enjoy watching them every week. sorry if the question has already been asked but what hardware and software equipment do you guy use to create your content?
Brad, how could you delete that glorious V8 noise on Cape York? Bad Brad, lol. On a serious note, i have watched you guys since the start and think you're doing a great job.
Cheers Gaz, we are very grateful for your continued support mate 🍻
Must be pretty interesting to actually fly over Australia’s rough and remote country that you have actually driven over and camped in . I do feel for ya, it’s hard enough ( but so pleasurable) just caravanning and enjoying this big country of ours let alone recording it weekly ,editing ya footage and posting it up on “all” the social media we have now as well as having your you time well done and congratulations on sticking it out and pushing on 👍 making content that people want to see 👍
Hi Paul thanks for the kind words mate. It’s much appreciated 😊 Funny you mention that, we have mapped out quite a fair bit of the country at this point and it’s quite fun flying over and being able to figure out where we are in the air by using mountains, landmarks and the coastline to pinpoint where we are. SW WA, the SA peninsulas and shark bay/ cape range are all so epic from the plane 🙌🏼
Guys, love your work! Keen to actually meet you in person one day on the road!
Cheers Rambo 🤙🏼
What a cool insight into your TH-cam life. Hope you still enjoy the travel and doesn’t become a chore. I create content for fun and thought 10-15hrs per video was me just being slow. Nice to hear your content takes similar hrs to produce 🤟🙏🇦🇺
It’s a labour of love for sure hey. Thanks for tuning in mate 😀
Well done,keep up the good work. Regards Tony
Cheers Tony, hope you are going well mate!
I’m very impressed with the way you handled a 18 speed.I’m an 80 year old truckie and I retired on a 18 speed.
Thanks mate i had a blast driving the old girl 🙌
@@our.australia.trip. They we’re pretty flash back in my day.
Awesome content guys. Thanks for letting us into your life.
Hi guys, what an amazing insight into your daily lives.
I was just wondering how you go about planning your trip? What experiences/places to go? How far out is your planning?
My wife and I love watching your videos and we have a massive list of great places that we will be now looking forward to visiting because of your amazing videos.
Hey Az, thanks so much for the kind words & great question mate. Will answer in detail shortly 😊
Great video guys! Some questions for your next vid.. What's the trello software you use? and what SSD do you use to store, is SSD better than HDD?
Awesome video guys!
Love your content ❤
Thanks Rianna ♥️
New to following your channel (been binging on your WA content this week) and seeing this episode truly allows you to see the hours go into making them so watchable. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode 😊
Welcome aboard guys & thanks for the kind words 😁
Love to see the behind the scenes, love to hear all the goss😅
Thank for tuning in Jen 😊
Absolutely love your channel guys and great episode!!
Just wondering what vid editing software you guys are using?
Hey guys, we will dive into the video production in the Q&A vid 😀
Great video and organisational skills you two 👌 would like to hear more about how to manage your video/photo data storage - you prefer externals drives to iCloud? Cheers Wendy
Great insight into life and living on the road, credit to you. Btw, what the bbq table with built in charcoal cooker at 12.30 mins.
Thanks Mark, its all snowpeak gear 👍 More coming up in next weeks vid 😊
