About Us:
Hey! We are Lydia and Wehan, welcome to our channel 💙🚐
We're from Perth (Australia) and are currently doing the big lap of Australia in our self converted Sprinter van.
Feeling unfulfilled and unhappy after building the life we thought we should want, in 2021 we decided to to sell our house and quit our corporate jobs so that we could go on the big lap of Australia in our self converted Sprinter van. Having barely travelled previously (besides a one off trip to Bali) and being hardcore 'planners' we were worried we were making a huge mistake but we've been on the road for almost 2 years now and haven't looked back.
Our goal is to continue to push ourselves outside our comfort zone; seeking new adventures, learning about new cultures and seeing as much of the world as possible. We hope you enjoy watching!

Natural bridge is still as beautiful as we remember. Last time we were there was our honeymoon in 2011. They filmed a tv show there years ago I can't remember the name of it. Thank you for showing Natural Bridge.
I just told my daughter about you guys and how much I look forward to see your videos. Thank you sharing! From Las Vegas NV🎉
That's so kind of you, thank you so much! Hopefully one day we'll get to road trip the US 🚐🤞
That will be excellent as part of your future international travel!! 😊
Have you been to Bendigo & checked out our population of flying foxes as Rosalind Park? If you’re in the right location around sunset, the fly-by is amazing!
Don't forget, some people call it the "Cold Coast" lol
It's definitely been hit with some cold weather recently 🌧️🥶
Springbrook is the best!
Gosh, you do worry about things at times. I also own a Sprinter & while longer than a car I would consider a long vehicle to be a Coaster not a Sprinter. I have always used the signs as a guide & figure I can always turn around if I get it wrong. A bit like people saying a road is 4WD only. Unless it is very sandy or has river crossings, I just go for it. Part of the fun! I am enjoying your travels.
i went to brisbane i went thru the gold goast and it seemed like the buildings near the beach were very thin n small i went thru on a bus coming from brisbane only stayed there fr a short stop over i didnt like it very much there altho might have if i stayed longer looking around
I'm not very keen on the Gold Coast because it's too touristy and restrictive, for parking. Your van is only requiring a normal car driver's licence, therefore it's not a truck or long vehicle it's classified as a car. Anyway, the Sunshine Coast is much better, beautiful beaches plenty of free parking, no crocodiles or stingers. I call it the Goldilocks Zone. Once you get to Cairns, you will love it. I've been living up here in my RV In the Kuranda Rainforest since 2020 to escape Dictator Nazi Dans Lock down and his World War 2 style curfew. PS Best water, fruit and veggies from the Atherton Table Lands. You guys will enjoy Rusty's market, however, Mareeba and Koha Market Is much better value and quality. Enjoy...
I think we got pretty lucky as it didn't seem too busy during our visit but the weather was a bit on and off which may have deterred the crowds! We've since been to the Sunshine Coast and agree; amazing beaches, easy parking and the weather cleared up so we had some incredible sunrises.
You're right, we probably would have been fine. We always try err on the side of caution when it comes to taking our van up questionable roads just in case, especially after finding ourselves down a few too many dodgy roads in Tassie 🤣 The Gold Coast's classification for 'long vehicle' is 7.5m so we decided not to push our luck as we're just under that 😬
We are really looking forward to heading north, already have loads planned that way. Are Mareeba and Koha the best spots for produce around Atherton? We heard Atherton was great for produce but haven't yet looked into which spots to go to. We have Kuranda on our list so we may cross paths! Have a great weekend 😊
