The Great Australian Roadtrip | 5 Months & 21,000KM

What was your budget?

3 hours west of Sydney is the Capertee Valley, bigger than the Grand Canyon.

Late comment but I can totally relate to how you fell in love with the country. I did too as a Vancouverite and did everything I could to move permanently, which is really hard if you don't have a certain in-demand career.

Turns out my wife's dad is a Kiwi though, which makes my wife a Kiwi by descent, and Kiwis can live in Australia permanently. Five years later, she's getting her Aus citizenship on Friday, and I'm not far behind. Where there's a will there's a way. This is our forever home and we couldn't be more grateful.

We just binged your entire Aussie series snd teared up a little, I gotta admit. Hope you can make Oz home too.

Thank you for sharing your videos of Australia. I found you guys about a week ago and I watched them throughout this week. I have not set foot in Australia yet, but I already know Im in love. 😊

I am not surprised that Tia cried about Blueberry. You guys have been through a lot with that car. Made a lot of memories with her. Its hard not to get attached. 😢

Im sad you guys are leaving Australia as thats one of my bucket list destinations, but I look forward to watching the rest of your videos, both past and present. You guys are more cheerful then a lot of people I know.

Again, thank you!

What an impressive journey indeed Tia & Cheveyo (@onepackwanderers). It was really well documented! We (me and my wife) just finished watching all 37 of your Aussie videos, including this final documentary here and are sad to see it end too, along with saying goodbye to good old and trusted Blueberry as well. Thank you so much to the both of you for your fantastic storytelling, consistent quality videography across the board, always being true and respectful along the way, and for showcasing what Australia has to offer…and as an Aussie living abroad, I appreciate you both beyond words for bringing my birth nation ever so much closer to my heart and soul, along with my loved ones. Keep safe, happy travels and now onto the next journey. Namaste :)

This is the best encapsulation of Australia that I have ever seen. It should be sponsored to reach a mainstream audience and cut through the cliches, just like you did. Well done on the humanistic side as well. Your behaviour towards each other, including teamwork, is a stunning exemplar.
NB: Tasmania is also a really good road trip. I'm sure they're feeling left out down there.😉

As an Aussie I am extremely glad you had a great time as we have a lot on offer. I am even more impressed that Tia pronounced "Emu" correctly!
More importantly ... You now understand Oz. Come back any time. 😎

glad both of you enjoyed Australia and its beauty ❤

I enjoyed watching you guys navigate your way through my home land. She is a spiritual country with much to love about it as you now know. much love <3 <3

Unfortunately they have only 2 seasons in northern Australia wet and hot and wet and dry
In the wet you will be delayed

Amazing documentary!

Thank you for such a respectful and quality documentary of our wonderful country. You guys are adorable.
Fyi I very stayed in exactly the same air bnd in Brisbane.. great price and the only one in that building.. I recognised the view, and then when you showed the inside, it confirmed it. It's a huge world and a small world at the same time.. I'm glad you liked our part of it. We are proud down here. We have a paradise. 😊

First video that i completly watched!! Amazing vid guys

Why did you drive off and leave the camera?

i wonder what the total gas bill was lol

Absolutely loved every minute of your video ❤ beautiful sights and inspired me to travel a lot more around Australia. Thank you for making this, I felt like I traveled with you. I fell in love with this country when I moved here and can relate to the feelings you describe when seeing the majestic nature here. Hoping you guys will be back. Greetings from Brisbane 😉🙏

This was incredible - you will look back at this documentary for the rest of your lives. Something I wish I had done with my previous adventures is have documented it more than I did - too busy soaking in every last drop. You were meant to go to Uluru and I am so glad you did. To this day, one of the most surreal places I have ever been to, the energy, the people, the significance of this place were unlike anything I had ever experienced. I hope you can make Australia your home someday soon - you both looked at peace throughout your many months of exploring and that says a lot about a place. If you get the chance, you MUST visit Aotearoa (New Zealand) before returning back here!

Thank you for sharing, it was really special to have joined you on your travels ❤

I dunno who was saying your car wasn't suited for the desert. I had a Mazda protege (precursor to the 3) I bought in the tropics and the radiator hose sprang a leak. I didn't realize it was completely out of water until I stopped the car right across the road from the garage gas station i was headed in 88 degree heat. It stalled out. Why? Because up until that moment it was being air cooled. 4 cylinders don't produce a lot of heat like bigger engines so they are more suited for hot climates. The technology in those and fords is pretty good too. I read the engine will throttle back and use the fuel to cool it if it detects overheating.

You actually did the climb up Bluff Knoll near Albany? Well done. That's a big commitment. 👌

I would love if you guys were more explicit with prices of things! It would be awesome to hear how much the car cost, and how much that nice room in the CBD was so we can have an idea of what kind of ballpark we can expect when we do similar things! :)

Lmao you tried to walk across Rottnest Island? Haha classic. You just realized how big the country is at that moment didn't ya.

Great summary of your Auz trip. Id do it again if I could(physically). Continue to have fun guys.

What an incredible job you guys have done!!!!Honestly I felt like crying seeing the Blueberry leaving you...all the best for everything,guys.

Thanks for this amazing documentary.

God bless you!

Thanks for your great videos touring our vast country. The Nullarbor is not for everyone, but I love the isolation. I've made the crossing 4 times.

OMG You guys are the least annoying, least wanky travel vloggers ever. What a breathe of fresh air! Keep it up!!!

So wonderful and rare to see a travel series that does justice to Australia! I’m glad you let her under your skin. And thank you for sharing your feelings about Uluṟu; to feel the ancient hum of life in the land is what this country is really about.

The Mazda 3 was a good choice. Out of the most reliable cars to ever exist you chose the one with the best handling.

I’m from Sydney I’ve been to Melbourne before for the AFL but that’s it I’ve also visited Byron bay and places in NSW

I'm in live in Adelaide but have been up the centre a few times to Darwin and across the eastern states, but never to WA. Your videos have really made me want to explore more of Australia. Now I have to see The Big (Turd) Potato
Tia:"Between Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney we have spent over a month in big cities." Canberra 395,790 ‎(2016), Adelaide 1.306 million (2016), Perth 1.985 million ‎(2016) 🤔 I feel shunned....😥...🤣

Please tell me you loved it.

The sugar cane toad is known as Buffy by the locals. My home town of Sarina

Perth, capital city??, I don't think so.

I just finished binge-watching your whole Australian adventure. I have lived in Melbourne my whole long life and never seen my own country the way I should have. I loved watching you guys, and then I realized, it wasn't the places you went that was so captivating and inspiring - it was 'you'. Tia is beautiful and you two are such a wonderful couple. You made me cry remembering how beautiful love and youth really can be.

You have found some good side track, even loose sand…

Hi to you to both I was just watching the news and they reckon they are bringing out some $1 big things coins ten of them although theres officially over a thousand so next time you come back do the thousand. 😂😢😢

come and see sri lanka

I shed a tear when you posted the second verse of Dorothy McKellars famous poem My Country. When I was a child we would recite this poem as we raised the flag at school on Monday mornings. ❤ I wish you all the best for your future travels and do please come back, another Blueberry (4wd) and campervan and continue on with enjoying our beautiful country.

Thank you for visiting and exploring Australia!

Great video of your trip around, am planning the same next year so gave me some good ideas/tips - thanks! However :) it would have been great if you could have added more comments around costs, for example - car? Fuel? Your accommodation? This would be a very nice complement to the video, maybe you did this in other videos and I missed them? Keep smiling!

Thank you for such a wonderful summary of your epic trip around our beautiful country. Seeing it through your eyes made it that much more special.

amazing film guys. Me and my girlfriend are starting a similar trip from Perth on September 14th :) we've enjoyed watching your journey so far

ganda naman

i am ver glad to have watched thid completely brouight back lots of memoiries as i have transversed the nullabor many times and the first was when the old road was in use but more importantly is the fact you enjpoyed your stay and all the popsitive commenmts you made about our beautiful country the best in the world i think

Been living in Melbourne for over 17 years and call it my Home. Your videos are excellent, I defo should get out and explore!

I legit teared up at the end when you were talking about Blueberry. 😢 She was an integral part of your Australian adventure. Thank you for sharing your journey.

You guys should visit New Zealand. It will be a totally different experience.
