WHO ARE WE:
We're Grant and Bianca - two travel enthusiasts who have been exploring and camping across Australia since 2017. Our dream was to caravan around Australia, and when Bianca was made redundant, we saw that as the perfect opportunity to pursue our dream.
In March 2021, we hit the road in our Ford F350 American 4x4 Truck, towing our 2003 Bushtracker Off-Road Caravan with our 2 Dogs Frank and Baxter.
After a year on the road, we realized that caravan life and road tripping were in our blood, and we decided to continue with our journey. We started this channel to document our travels and share the amazing places we've discovered, and the tips we've learned along the way, including the delicious meals we cook on the road, whether in the caravan or over a campfire.
Join us as we continue our journey through this incredible country and subscribe to our channel for the latest updates on our adventures and the joys of caravaning Australia!

I’m so sorry guys that your fur baby isn’t well. Thinking of you. It’s bloody heartbreaking xx
Thank you so much😊🙏
Oh you poor things. I got teary and I don’t even know your dogs. But that face, that sad, sad face…. So glad that he survived the bite and good luck with the next ops
Thank you Lisa. 😃
Sorry to watch about the dogs. I hope things get better. It’s the real life of travel. We have decided to stop for a while. Sometimes it’s ok to stop and rest and reboot
Completely agree!
Thanks for watching 😁👍
So glad Frank is recovering
He’s doing much better thank you
Of course you have to go back. It would be good for you and for Frank. I'm sure your being there made a huge difference for Frank (and Baxter!)
It was great seeing them, we all needed it!😁👍
hi guys wow your brought me to tears about your dog we to also were in Cairns on a 2 week holiday 5 days in we got a call our boxer had had his back legs drop out meaning he was dragging them behind him our pet sitter called us as did our vet we also packed our bags flew back down to Melbourne then a bus to Geelong were we live unfortunately the next day we had to put him to sleep it was gut Wrenching still is that was 5 years ago now keep your chins up love your real on the road approach live your best lives as we only get 1 life sending all my love from Paul Buckley
So sorry to hear about your dog, it’s just heartbreaking. 💔 they never stay long enough 🥰
Ohhh so sorry to hear about your troubles, takes me back to our Bushtracker days & when we were in Tasmania & got a message about a family member who had taken seriously unwell. I acted instantly and literally did a U-turn & raced to Hobart , threw the wife on the first flight to Sydney & then she flew halfway around the world making it to the family member about an hour before she passed away. Those times can be difficult indeed.
I hope you guys have a relaxing Xmas/New year down at Grafton & all the best for 2024 🎉
A lot of tears shed with us and dogs over the years. We have lost three to snakes, one to a tick, one stolen, one attacked by another dog, one run over but we still have dogs and our two travel with us still. Very painful when you can do nothing for them. I’m so glad Frank survived. You guys being there with him will definitely lift his spirits again. ❤
Omg!
Can’t imagine what you went through losing your pups!
Thank you, he is feeling much better now 😁👍
Geez, try a cat!
Oh no…it’s all happening for Frank 😢 he does look incredibly thin. Poor little man ☹️
They loved having you back!❤
Something always happens to Frank! It’s always Frank! He’s a consistent source of anxiety!
We spend so much time and money protecting that dog from himself!
He’s lucky he’s cute!
We lost our boxter (9yrs) on our lap, in hopetoun WA on the beach from a heart attack, ironically it was 12 months today, this hit me hard. You did the right thing, every minute counts with older pooshes. Darwin will be there when your time is right. XXX
So sorry to hear about your pup!
I can’t imagine…
Yes Darwin will be there waiting!😊👍
So glad that Frank is o k hope that you are too. I really enjoy your adventures. Thanks for sharing!
😊👍 thank you 🙏
Oh my, what an episode of dramas 🙀 glad the truck battery issue was sorted, and so lucky it was not half way along the Gibb. As for poor old Frank, so good to see he pulled through. The fur kids certainly tug at your heart strings at times. Great to see F&B reunited, they make a great pair. Good luck to Grant on his solo travels.
Thanks guys! 😁👍
This video made me cry, I have 2 dogs, and my biggest fears are snakes, paralysis ticks and cane toads. I have taught them the leave it command, but dogs are dogs and explore. I'm so happy he is on the mend. I'm sad about growth, big hugs to you. I would have done exactly the same
..first flight to them. ❤
Sorry for the tears but you’re dog person… you get it!
Thank you, he is doing much better!
Oh my gosh Bianca. I was ugly crying!!! Oh how I felt for you. I just wanted to jump through the screen and give you a hug. You did the right thing. I would've done it to... It's hard when the furkids get sick.. take care. Love n hugs to you and Grant. And cuddles to Frank and Baxter xxxx
Thank you Karen 🥰
❤to you both
🥰thank you!
So so glad to see Frank home again - what an absolute nightmare of a time for you all!! Good luck with his upcoming investigations/treatment and look forward to seeing you back on the road when circumstances allow ❤
Thank you 🥰
Bad luck guys but you did the right thing we would have done the same,your dogs are just not dogs they are very important in your life,I hope things worked out for you.About the battery issues Grant is fairly clued up he needs to study up on you tube and some forums and learn how to do it himself there’s plenty of face book groups and 4x4 forums with a lot of helpful people,if you build it yourself you know how to fix it ,when you travel remote you have to be handy.Good luck.
So glad Frank is ok, I cried.
I would not know what I'd do if I lost my Max. He is my best mate!
Its funny, some people don’t understand how an animal can mean so much to you, I feel pity for them. Nothing and no one is capable of the unconditional love that a dog has for its human. Imagine not ever feeling that!
@Livin_Like_Kings_ that's it, unconditional! Love watching your journey.
am glad Frank is ok...:)
Yes, we know only too well how you feel, our 5 year old Dachshund died after 9 months of struggle 6 weeks ago.. we are heartbroken..So glad Frank is doing ok.. and fingers are crossed that he’ll stay that way in the future..
We’re so sorry for your loss!
Wow so glad he pulled through it’s not good having that news so far away enjoy the trek back
Thanks, us too!
Yes it was a horrible feeling!
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Glad to hear Frankie is okay, and you guys are home safe!
Thank you!😁🙏
Having dogs is hard when things go pear shaped, but it only gets harder when your travelling. We found out 3 weeks ago that our youngest border collie has a rare cancer which is sadly terminal. We're still travelling trying to give her the best time of her life. Sorry to hear Baxter got bitten and I hope the growth is not bad news. Grant don't enjoy yourself to much goimng solo for the week.
So sorry to hear this, they are such precious souls 🥰🥰
You both have had it tough this year, my heart goes out to you.
We have a old boy, (dog) that hates travelling, they r a heartbreak ❤
Thank you Leanne 🥰
Oh you poor buggers. Everything happened at once for you 🫤when it rains it pours.
I’m so happy Frank is ok 🐶💙 I bet you are happy to be back with your boys 🐶🐶 and I’m certain they will be happy to have you home too 😃
Your dad is amazing too. You are very lucky to have him 🥰
Take care of yourselves and I hope you get some good news on Franks issues 🤞🏻
Yes it’s been a whirlwind but extremely lucky to have dad around to support us!
Feeling more like ourselves now that we are back with our boys
Oh Bianca this was heartbreaking to watch, you are always so happy and positive no matter what but we all know your dogs mean the world to you both and we all felt your sadness 😢
So glad that Frank is on the mend and that you are both now home with your beautiful boys once more ❤
Thank you!
We don’t like doing sad or negative videos but we decided to share our travels and our lives with everyone, so the good with bad I suppose! In a way, it shows the reality of full time travel
Thanks for watching 😁👍
I cried through this, so scary. Hopefully things turn out well with Frank x
Sorry, didn’t mean to make you cry!
Frank is feeling much better now thanks😊👍
OMG what a terrible time you have had. I'm so glad Frank is better and hopefully the growth can be removed easily and he will be back to his old self again. Pets are such a worry when anything goes wrong and our hearts just break for them. I really hope that everything starts getting back on track for you both again quickly and all is well for you again. At least it is great to see your Dad again even if the circumstances could have been better. Thinking of you both.❤
Thanks Debra!
We couldn’t agree more.
Things are beginning to look up a bit now and Frank seems to be doing a lot better now!
So cautiously optimistic 😁👍
So glad your furbaby is ok 🙏🏻🙏🏻 would have been so distressing trying to get back and not knowing if he was ok.
Thank you!
Yes it was a bit rough but seem to be slowly looking up😁👍
Omg my heart was in my mouth! I am so glad Frank is home. Safe travels Grant. Big love to you all ❤
Thanks so much
Loved seeing you reunited with your fur babies but so sad for everyone and Frank. Hope Grant enjoyed his movie, podcast, music marathon whilst on his own and on the drive home. Hope no more pears in your journey! 🍐
I hope so too!
Your good fur parents :)
I wish frank a speedy recovery.
I’d do the same for my dog if anything happened. He’s my world
Thank you so much!
So glad he is getting better absolutely made me so sad to see you so upset, we lost our boy after 13 years and it broke my heart 😞
P.S I have watching the ads for guys, I watch a few travellers but you guys are by far my favourite 🤗
Sorry to hear that about your boy 🥰. Thank you so much that really means a lot.
That’s the only problem with dogs is they refuse to live long enough for us and it really hurts every time as a 70 year old we now have no dogs the hurt is too great
Oh guys, the constant crap breaking is a real thing on the road. If a week goes by and no issues, woo hoo!
Hey Grant your torque wrench needs to be reset or wound back to zero after each round of usage or else it's values change
😁👍 thanks mate
Good Morning 😊 Lost of one pet , family member is hard 💔 I lost 4 at once last month when they got into a snake nest 🐍 Thanks for Sharing and Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Mate, we couldn’t imagine losing one let alone 4 at once! We’re so sorry for your loss!
Very raw episode Bianca, glad to see Frank is on the mend. Be safe and hope to see your smile back on the track. Happy festive season to you all. Cheers carolyn and Stephen
Thanks Carolyn! All the best to you and yours!🎅🤶👍
❤ Im glad Frank is okay but how are you going to stop it happening again?
Well there are lots of things we can do but weather any of them will work is another matter!
Frank is by his nature, inquisitive, stubborn and highly determined!
We have always tried to save Frank from himself but we fear we may fail.
Thanks
You are welcome!
Thank you so much 😁🙏
No worries, I know the feeling when you lose your pet, I lost one a few years ago and can't bring myself to get another because of the heartache of losing them, I'm glad yours has survived 👍
@@mypointofview444 sorry for your loss mate, I can only imagine the hurt!
Your experience with the big Effy is not the best endorsement unfortunately. You guys deserve better for the money you have spent. We love our Bushie too !
Yes it hasn’t been great but the fault lies entirely on the work been done to it, not the vehicle itself!
We could fault the truck at all before the mods and now that the problems have been resolved it’s a completely different beast!
Ah well, live and learn I guess!😁👍
Fair enough
You to are calm under pressure....well on camera anyway 😂it's a tough place to have issues...
Believe me we have our moments, but the majority of the time we’re pretty calm.
Hi Grant & Bianca 🙃
Wow - sorry to hear about Franks ordeal ☹️ - Our hearts ♥️ to out to you both - 😢 - xfingers for a great recovery after Franks op 👍
Grant - as already noted by one of your followers- tyres to be rotated every 5k - better run on the rubber 🙃🤪😬
Batteries- installer’s- bugger - sorry to hear there are rouges out there who are not professional 😖
All the best once again to one and all
Best wishes - Raymond & Diane 🍷🍺
Thinking of you, I lost my fur baby to a snake bite. Could of caught up while you were in Darwin xx
Oh no 😢, so sorry to hear that Estelle. Dam I didn’t know you where back up in Darwin
Yeah it was when I was living up here before. Yeah ive been back up here since April. Next time your up let me know xxx
Get well Frank
He is starting to feel much better now 🙏😁
Hope all goes well for frank.
Thank you he’s doing much better
If tyres wearing in the middle..too much air in them...batterys dont last long in the humidity...lucky to get 2 years out of them up here
Thanks good to know that
I’ve never heard that before, what exactly is the issue and are we talking L/a, AGM or Lithium? I’m curious, seriously. If you have any links to any articles etc I’d appreciate it 👍
Was there a bath at the HS Hipcamp? 🤔🤷♂️🙈
Not at the one in Darwin.
We know how you feel the last trip we did to qld when had our 5 year old kelpie pass away 3 days after we returned 💔💔💔💔
So sorry to hear that 🥰🥰
Please take your bubbies with you. I couldnt leave home with out Mario the Pug
Don’t worry, the boys will stay with us from now on!😁👍
❤
Out of interest, would you go back to B.D.Builds again?
At least you are laughing but it's not
NEVER put bad tyres on the front because you will lose steering traction! 😱🙈👎🏿
Thanks for the tip
This is what happens when u sell the best reliable 4x4 on the road and go to another brand , I know because I done the same thing !
While do miss the LC but our problems are not the vehicles fault, it’s the people working on it!
But I’ve had some great people working on it recently and I see smooth seas ahead
I bet that debarcle cost a pretty penny!!!!!
Most of our savings.
Out of interest, would you go back to B.D.Builds again?
🤷♂️
@Livin_Like_Kings_ Big Dog Builds....you've had some drama's with the F Truck?
Not too sure!
That being said, when we were there, he was too busy and was frazzled as you would be!
If he works out the kinks and devotes more attention on our build then yes! We would go back!
I hope we just got unlucky and we’re an isolated story and he has picked up his game. He’s a hard worker and a nice guy so I would want to give him another crack.
@Livin_Like_Kings_ I hope they get it sorted for ya's, we'll be watching.....so happy Frank is ok, my wife and I were sobbing like babies watching. I had to give our English Bulldog a extra big cuddle after watching your clip.❤️
Yeah hold them tight! They are not here for long enough!
Why is the wiring a mess its a new vehicle 🤔 and you got professionals to do the add on's hmm
Yes, we did pay professionals for the work. Bright side is, with the problems we’ve had has educated us as what to look for!
But the vehicle is not new, it does look it but it’s a 2017 model
This is why I don't watch dog movies? Sad
“Marley and Me” destroyed me! Then, like an idiot I went out and bought not one but two dogs!
That being said, I like the me that having dogs has created
@@Livin_Like_Kings_ I watched Marley and me, had to leave the room to go to the toilet had a tear in my eye. Funny thing. We have three dogs at the moment. A pug, a cavalier and a West Highland Terrier. Guess what the cavaliers name is? Marley...... Marley, Millie and Pebbles
@@tugboat8475 looks like neither of us will be watching that movie again! Shame really, it’s a good movie!
Would you leave your kids with your father to travel the country. I have dogs and they go where I go. Your responsibility, not your fathers. My dogs don’t complicate my life they make it. When travelling my dogs, keep the pests away two legged four-legged or no legs. Livin like KINGS is about family.
Thanks for watching Mark 😀
❤
That’s the only problem with dogs is they refuse to live long enough for us and it really hurts every time as a 70 year old we now have no dogs the hurt is too great
Giving dogs the ability to live as long as we do has been a birthday wish of mine since I was 18
