    Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a travelling 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.

    You guys should totally publish a little ebook /interactive map when your done. It would be great to get your thoughts on all of the campgrounds you stayed at and experiences you had. It would be super useful for people who want to do a lap of Oz after Covid is over.

    It would be so interesting if you guys did a podcast episode talking about everything you learnt on your road trip around Australia in Cooper! Maybe one episode on van life and then another on what you’ve learnt about the complexities of road tripping through a massive country! Absolutely loving your videos and seeing little hunter grow!

    I think you should go to Kooralbyn! When I went there, I went to the kooralbyn valley with lots of swimming pools for hunter, golf course (if you don’t want to play golf and just drive the golf carts around, go in the afternoon when barely anyone is there) I’m sure hunter will enjoy it! Near it is a Llama farm where you can look after 2 llamas for about an hour and you can feed them and walk them around! You can check these out unless you have plans already!
