You have inspired so many people to travel and they in turn get out and travel and have a youtube channel. Your videos were so well produced, so many connected you you and your family on your adventure. I have watched 'the big lap series' 4 times now. One day Sarah and I and our dog Clover, will be out there. doing our travels. I think we have the best country in the world. We are so blessed.
bought your video a few years back before we left on our big lap in 2018 we free camped for 2 years it changed my life for the better i now have itchy feet to do it again cheers from Queensland south
We have watched your DVDs over and over and loved them. Thanks for the email letting us know that you are now on utube. We will definitely be watching again
You’re giving those girls life experiences that no school could ever come near to giving them You’ll all look back on this trip for the rest of your life 🏆
I purchased the Blue Ray set some years ago and disc 2 never played properly, there is a fair amount of pixelation during episode 5 that I have to scroll past the damage. Disc looks perfect with no scratches or blemishes so not sure what went wrong with it. I do love what I can actually watch though and only got it out recently to start planning for the Gibb River trip.
Sorry to hear about that disc. Not sure what would cause that?! If you want to send me your postal details through the contact page on our website I’ll see if I can find a spare disc and send you a replacement. Otherwise the TH-cam version is better being remastered in 4K.
Hi Steve, I'm keen to know how you "used AI technology to digitally remaster the series from the original HD format to stunning 4K and 50 frames per second" I've got a few video that could do with an update. 😀😀
Thanks Steve@@ExpeditionAustralia I gave the trial version a go on a really old 640 x 480 (76mb file size) video and didn't really notice an improvement. One thing I did notice is the CPU temp went up by 20 degrees. I have a fairly robust computer so not sure how it would go on an older one. Looking forward to watching The Big Lap again in better quality though. Cheers
Yeah it seems to struggle with the really low res videos. Better results with the HD to 4K. My MacBook Pro has been working overtime for months processing the files with fan running the whole time but gets there eventually. My older iMac that I edit on really struggles!
Your DVD's inspired us to retrace your travels in 2017. You were the original trip in a van. Thanks for sharing the adventures.
I love this series. I have watched it numerous times.
Your DVD still take pride of place on the shelf . Still number 1 family to watch
We have the DVD series, it inspired us to travel. Great to see it on TH-cam. Thanks

Love reliving the reality of technology and time from back when this was filmed, great job, thanks for posting👍 When was this filmed?
Filmed between 2005 and 2007. Before social media, iPhones etc :)
@@ExpeditionAustralia oh wow thought it was later!
This is such an awesome series. Third time watching, and am so looking forward to it. Ive got to say this inspired me to also want to do a big lap...
That was fun. Thank you
Great to watch guys, interesting how much the gear has changed since then, but the basics remain the same 👍
Pretty ‘low tech’ back then. Mind you we still have and use most of that gear 😂
I've got the video but id forgotten alot, will be good seeing it again❤
So glad you did this, I bought the DVD set way back and this is much better.
So happy you guys have launched a TH-cam channel now! Looking forward to seeing all your adventures

Got the dvd set and loved it, well done
That reminds me, I need to copy the ones I downloaded from the subscribers area.... I'll watch on my (povo 1080p) TV.... :)
I wasn't aware of this until Cam Wild gave it a plug - and I am fascinated! I'll be following along and am looking to each adventure.
