Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling van life family who self-converted their dream house on wheels - we now live full-time in our Sprinter van called Cooper as we do a full lap of our home Australia. Inspired by our friends van life journeys Kara and Nate, Eamon and Bec and Kinging it.
Hey everyone!! Welcome back to another episode!! It was so fun heading over to Tasmania on the ferry to take Cooper to his next state on our big lap of Australia :)
I went to Tasmania in a cruise ship for three days 6 years ago. W went to vineyards Museum of modern arts and Port Arthur that was my dream
I live in Tasmania and I’ve been watching you guys for about two years now and I’ve really wanted you guys to come to Tasmania
Also my dad works at the sprit of Tasmania in east Devonport and the spirit is so fun Hunter will love it
As a Tasmanian I am so excited you love it here 😍!
Hi Stephen and Jess, I have a few suggestions on where to visit in tassie as a local..
the cataract gorge in launceston
Arthur’s river (also called THE EDGE OF THE WORLD)
Stanley
Boat harbour beach
Please go back to Ireland. I mayo is perfect there
This age is just the best, when their character shines through, Hunter is just so adorable 🥰
its SUCH a fun age :)
And she is so clever as well. She speaks so well, it must be so nice to be able to communicate with her. Xx
Love Hunter's education. Full of meaning and joy, she will become a fantastic generous cosmopolitan adult
aww thank you!! we hope so :)
The children’s laughter that filled this video also filled my heart. A wonderful way to start my day. Thanks for sharing your family and adventures. Also Hunter not wanting to wake up on the ferry was priceless 🤣💚
💛💛💛
Yes! Finally! I found a person who also likes to dip their bread in soup!🍞🍲
Been waiting for the Tasmania tour since the whole vanlife adventure started.
And damn, the camerawork and editing is fantastic as always.
Ah thank you so so so much 💛
Hunter's, "I do!", is so adorable 🥰
WOW!!! This place is absolutely gorgeous! The moss everywhere is so fluffy and green and the ferns... This is now on my bucket list! 😍💚
Its so cool! we love it here - second time we've been to Cradle Mountain
There is so much to love about the island, many nature spots and some wonderful water tours. The ocean tours down Port Arthur way are amazing.
Watching you guys enjoy life gives me the same feeling as wrapping myself in a warm fuzzy blanket straight out of the dryer (from Liverpool England).
naww this is such a lovely comment thanks Bec :)
Jess: Hunter what are you doing?
Hunter: Doing
😂 That expression from Hunter
Hahaha best bit of the video!
@@flyingthenest I do agree 😂🙌
Hunter's response ofr what she was doing in the buses was just the cutest. We really all are just "doing". Loving watching your family's adventures.
Was looking for your new video..my sunday morning coffee,, not the same without you 3.
I’m in the UK and I have a pen friend in George Town, Tasmania so this is very interesting to me. X
Hunter is so lucky to have such awesome parents as you two. Cheers.
This is one of my favourite vlogs, I was Hunter's age when I first took the ferry to Tasmania (and have since been about 48 more times 😂) but it has just brought back so many memories from the past 26 years. Love watching you all make all of these memories together
Hunter is so adorable...and she is having every bit of travel moment which we adult always dream of.
I went on the spirit of Tasmania 7 years ago. We also played on the playground that Hunter played in as soon as we got there. This brings back so many memories!
Lol good old Bluff Beach playground! Loved by locals and visitors alike!
hunter saying hello is so adorable
Tassie is a beautiful place with so much to see. Please tell me you’ll revisit NSW and VIC and visit the beautiful forests, alpine areas and coastal beaches. A visit to Jervis bay is something you won’t regret!
Swansea is the best. Your videos always make me smile 😊 hunter is getting so big! This is such a fun age!
Hell yeah! I suggested Tazzy! :) have fun guys.
That baby! Love watching her grow! Thank you for sharing her with us! You guys are the BEST parents!
oh my gosh, hunter is growing up much too fast, she’s hilarious and adorable 🥰 i had no idea how beautiful tasmania was, stunning edit as always
Tasmania is always a must visit 😍
What a treat Tasmania seems to be! It reminds me of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada with its many lush forests, mountains and beaches all together! Although considering how Australia got somewhat overwhelmed by imported rabbits multiplying with no Aussie predators I'm a bit surprised that anyone in Oz would look FORWARD to the Easter Bunny's arrival, it sure looks as though you all had fun with the hidden chocolate eggs AND bunny pancakes. Great that you all and the other family have strong bonds with each other (and Hunter has three friends if not temp sisters)! Thanks for this!
I think that Tasmania series first introduced me to your channel and now hunter is so big. wow
So excited to be traveling around with you guys! And those bunny pancakes were AMAZING 😜
Hehe gotta make some more 🐰
You guys are going to love Tasmania especially Hunter
Your little girl is so smart!!! “Purple”! That’s right Hunter, you’re growing so fast! 🥰🥰
Loved it. Hunter is so precious and very smart . Can't wait for the next episode.
This is an incredible channel and deserves 10M subscribers and even moree.....luv uu hunterrr😘😘😘😘😘
Your Easter was so cute! Oh, and we have the non-alcoholic Bundaberg Ginger Beer in the U.S. and Steve it is delicious!!
Don't forget Victoria has wonderful natural assets, and many great places to stay.
Love hunter’s laughter! It’s the best! Definitely at that age where everything is amazing
I live in Launceston Tasmania you guys gotta come check it out it’s amazing you guys would love it
Ditto !
What a fabulous crossing on the Spirit! My hubby and I were on the Spirit to Tasmania which left Melbourne on Dec 27 1998. It was a night or horrendously scary waves of up to 20m (a force 12 storm) that took the lives of six or seven sailors in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. I was so petrified I couldn't even be seasick. We've had other crossings since that were far more pleasant!
OMG...guys I love when Hunter says" purple "sooooo cute little girl 🤗😁love the video👍 thumbs up for the great work 👍👏😁
Hey guys. What fun! Freycinet (pronounced "Fraycinay" is perfect.... and Swansea on the East Coast, holds awesome memories! I love my Island State, and so happy that you guys do too xx
oooh whoops thanks for letting us know :)
After you have done a lap round Australia, try and drive Cooper to the UK!
Yeah
The Uk is amazing (definitely not from the UK)
Yeah! Been waiting for a new one and checking every so often. Brightening up my Sunday morning in Alberta Canada, where, if you can believe this, there is still snow here and there and ice on lakes up north. Anyway... watching now and thanks for letting me be part of your lovely, delightful family.
hehe every Sunday one will pop up unless we film a couple then you may get one on a wednesday :)
I'm Australian living overseas and I want to visit Tasmania now with my lilttle boy. Stunning!
I’m so glad I live in Tassie, it’s such a beautiful place. The mountains at Freycinet (pronounced Frey-sin-ay) are called The Hazards. Can’t wait to see where else you visit here.
Lol I was gonna say this to !
Absolutely stunning💖💖. Hunter adds the magic in it💕💕💕
Hunter finding the Easter eggs was the cutest thing! Forever bringing a smile to are faces!
hehe she is definetly in full blown easter mode
Love that Hunter's "Yes," is "I do!" ❤️
Hehe it’s our favourite
Can’t believe how much hunter has grown up,she is very verbal now.loved the scenery of Tasmania,totally different weather to the mainland of Australia where it’s hot most of the time,looking forward to seeing what you do whilst on the island.ps I was watching whilst drinking a bunderberg ginger ale.
I love Tasmania so much! Such a beautiful part of Australia. Can’t wait to go back and visit
One of our fave places too 😍
Hunter was so cute when she said doing😂😍❤️
It’s the “yo, yo, yo” for me. I love that part
Hunters hair is so flippin cute 🥺
Hunter at 5am is a vibe.
Loving seeing you guys back in Cooper xxx
Wow! Tasmania is beautiful!
I cannot contain my excitement watching this. 😩 only just got on the spirit and I am just non stop giggling in happiness 😍😍
I want to be like you guys when I grow up
Absolutely loved this episode, tas looks so beautiful hopefully I get to experience and explore this beautiful state
The cream scene is just GOLD!
Yayyyyy welcome back to Tassie!
Amazing shots of the dolphins
How beautiful that Hunter is at the age where she gets enjoyment from Easter hunts. It's beautiful to see and what a little chatterbox 😂 her words have developed alot. Lovely to see the voyagers tagging along. Thanks to your earlier videos I've started following them. I am really looking forward to watching nesters and voyagers travelling together. Safe travels 💕👍🤩
Hunter is a little adorable angel! Love the new words and mannerisms. Warm hugs from South Africa.
Glad to see you guys are back...was beginning to wonder, what the---!!
SO much fun, love it so much when you all get together!
We visited Tasmania in January 2014. We hiked to Wineglass Bay and saw Wombats in Cradle Mountain also. Thanks for taking me down memory lane and I look forward to revisiting Tasmania through your videos! 🇨🇦
How is Hunter with bedhair even more adorable than regular Hunter? Like, how is that possible?
Welcome to Tasmania! So exciting to know that Cooper is here in our beautiful state (as you three as well, of course). At the end of our honeymoon, we caught the Spirit of Tasmania (from Sydney) home to Tassie, and we very much thought of it as a mini-cruise. It was a great way to end the holiday. It helped that the Sydney trip was longer than the Melbourne trip, so we had more awake time on the ship. It's gonna be so surreal seeing you guys explore places that I am familiar with. Happy Easter, Hunter.
Soo lucky to be able to bring Cooper across - it honestly was a little bit of nightmare getting him onto the Spirit - we could easily get him across but bookings were booked out itll June so we were worried we were going to get marooned on tassie (not end of the world) but we did find a spot thankfully
LOVE Tasmania, Cradle Mountain was my fav place there! This is probably already on your list, but make sure you go to Launceston/Cataract Gorge! That was my second fav spot haha. Also Hunter is always so happy, it's so cute!!
Agreed!! I live in Launceston the Gorge is a must!
It’s so nice watching Hunter grow 🥰
its so fun!! they change so much so quickly
I'm having so much fun watching you. Tasmania is a beautiful place 😍 enjoy and have fun. Thank you so much 💓 😘
I will always watch tour videos and happy days to you guys! ❤
Love your videos . Have wonderful times, making memories and having fun . Hunter is amazing xxx
Yay my Sunday morning breakfast video!!! Super excited to be going exploring a new state next week 😊
hehe whats for breakfast
Wauw looks absolutely breathtaking 😍 awww Hunter you are such a little star 😂😂😂 face seeing the Chocolate Easter Eggs Brilliant ,when she saw the Wombat so sweet ❤️
The Dolphins beside the boat omg what a wonderful day , your Friends were delighted 😜.
Looking forward to to your Next adventures. Safe travels 🥰🥰
I think the old subtitles you guys used to use, the ones that were highlighted in black, was a little bit more eye-catching. Just my opinion, love watching you three!
This is so beautiful. Tasmania is wonderful. Hunter , you are really really adorable. Your friends are very cute
So peaceful ❤❤
Aww what a beautiful family vlog I really enjoy watching all your travel videos and because it’s like I’m there with you guys god bless the flying the nest family ❤️❤️

Hunter's speech is improving right before our eyes!

Missing the Tassie things and the life in Devonport.
Taking the Tasmania Spirit was a good memory.

Yippee, I found another place that I definitely would love to visit! Going on Adventures with you guys and Hunter is the best! That Wombat was just the cutest. I was telling my hubby and children that I want one this past week, how funny that you would have one in this video! See you soon! 🙏💕🤗
