About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.
Thanks for watching everyone, hope you enjoy this weeks episode. If you’re keen to check out what Skillshare have to offer, make sure you use our link for 1 month free - skl.sh/jmxploring10211

Classic 😂😂 I always say it 😂
I just found your channel, love it!
Thanks for sharing my home town 🌞
And glad you guys had a great time 🌊 xx
Thank you for watching. Exmouth is definitely one of our favourites. 👍😊
Lol as a chef for many years, I laugh at your cooking attempts, yet they always turn out well and looking delicious... Hats off to you mate...
😂😂 classic mate they do taste good! Yet to master the curry tho always comes out slightly to watery 🤔
Wow those views of the canyon or gorge are stunning, Exmouth is on the list now too!! Stay happy guys!
Gotta go to Exmouth mate!
Yet another excellent video. Love the way you guys shoot your travel videos and tell your story. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Henry! Appreciate it mate.
I started binge watching from QLD, the quality of the videos have improved tremendously.
Keep up the good work!

One Life, One Search,
Shane
@@itsJackandMegan whos Peter 😉
"Megan-tron" I like that. 😁 The turtles seeing them naturally like that is mesmerising. Another fantastics episode. 👍 Regarding canyon vs gorge, in terms of the proportions, a canyon is considered larger than a gorge. They are both deep valleys, but a canyon is often wider compared to a gorge. The term gorge is at times used to describe ravines.
Thanks for that mate we did a little research after and it all makes sense now 😂 the turtles are amazing hey!
Great vid guys, just a handy hint for you Megan, it looked like your goggles fogged up, just spit inside the lenses and rub it around with finger then rinse it out before putting them on. 👍
Thanks for that will give it a try next time round! 😊👍
The view while both of you sitting in the sand enjoy an beer and the sunset is out of this world the water is so clear with all kinds of small fish wow wow and the stingray in the end an Epic episode greetings from South Africa
It’s incredible isn’t it! We could see the fish as we stood at the water line!
It was beautiful underwater footage Megan. Stunning!
It a whole new world in the water hey!
Congratulations on the sponsor, which just proves your producing quality episodes 👍
Thanks mate we are so stoked to have a sponsor on the video we have worked very hard to get to this stage! 😬
Jack "I'm not going snorkeling. guys" that's a surprise. NOT! 🤣🤣Great seeing turtles in the wild. Another top-notch episode guys. Keep 'em coming. 👍
😂😂😂 classic mate you know me to well!
Amazing place, Exmouth is beautiful...Amazing beaches...Some day i'll visit that place...Greetings from Venezuela!
Beautiful under water footage Megan. Glad to see that you guys have packed your “ bickering “ recovery gear in the troopy!
Love it (bickering recovery gear) 😂😂
Terrific video, if you like Calamari try this recipe: 50/50 lemon pepper & curry powder, then add to Panko bread crumbs.
Put your calamari into a beaten egg or two depending how much you have.
Hot oil in a wok, add the calamari one piece at a time as you go round the circle of the wok. By the time you get the last one in the first is ready to eat. Try it, we do it every Christmas as an entree.
Thanks for the tip Neil! We will definitely give this a shot. 👍
Another great vid guys! Awesome 👍
Thanks legend!
i am totally enjoying watching. Great adventure guys. cheers
Thanks for watching! 😊😬👍
Great job guys! Enjoyed watching
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great video and a Blokes Advice T subscribed brother. 👍🏻 Bullara and the whole area are something special for sure. Take care.
Thanks legend!
Another great episode, congratulations on the sponsorship that’s awesome 😎.
Thanks so much Shad, really appreciate it! 👍
I would love to see turtles so close, amazing experience ❤️
I really enjoy your videos and your travels. Simple is the best!
It was an awesome experience Celia! You have to do it one day 😊
@Jack & Megan what beach to see the turtles, we are planning to be in Exmouth end of Jan to early Feb.. may I also ask do you need a 4wd to explore Cape range and to go to Mesa Beach? And how many days should we allow to explore Cape range? Many thanks in advance.
awesome coast and plenty of things to do
Awesome episode. Seeing the turtles like that would be such a great memory to have. Great snorkeling footage!! I'm not sure about the squid & watermelon together bit!🤢 Catch you next vid!👍
Thanks K the turtles are always a highlight amazing creatures! 😂 the watermelon is definitely something different.
Wow, I was lucky enough to get up to Exmouth for a 4 day trip. Stayed with friends at Mesa Campground over new years and absolutely fell in love with that place. Never wanted to leave it and I'm now counting down the days till I graduate and can head back up their with my best mates! Just found your channel, you got a subscriber from me!
Great video. You two are fun to watch!
Thanks Nathan! Happy to hear you enjoyed it 😊
Great vid especially the underwater shots..
Thanks oyster stacks in Exmouth was spectacular!
Megan & Jack thanks for the great episode 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching legend!
Here you go.....In terms of the proportions of the two, a canyon is considered larger than a gorge. They are both deep valleys, but a canyon is often wider compared to a gorge. The term gorge is at times used to describe ravines which are narrower than canyons. ... Often, gorges are associated with rivers while canyons are not
Thanks Rick this is exactly what Megans Mum said when we were chatting with her very interesting!
@@itsJackandMegan I learned something also as I thought a gorge was more of a dead end. One way in and out. I was never good at geography 😂
I have the same Front Runner table!
Yeah we went to some of the same places too.
Hi guys, I camped behind you at t the RAC campsite in the teardrop camper, just stumbled across you you tube blog, looks great and ill be following you two.
Happy traveling.
Jim & Lynette
Hey guys yes we remember! Hope you’re well! Thanks for following 😊
Great episode guys love it.👍🇦🇺👍
Thanks for watching 👍😊
What a great video lovely to watch. I subscribed
Thanks for subscribing we really appreciate it. 👍😊
Thanks for another great episode,see ya on the next....
No worries mate!
I’m a fun already! I’ve been dreaming for this adventure for a while.
You should definitely do it! Best time ever 🙌🏼
16:03 I’m probably a little late for your offer, that being said Thankyou for taking the time to explain your sponsor SKILLSHARE. Most people on CZcams don’t give an explanation about what their sponsors offer, and in that case I’m generally not interested in finding out. But you explained it beautifully and it got me interested, I am starting out in photography, and saw via your information that they have a DLSR course! So I’m very interested to give that a go, and check out some more!
Thanks so much for the feedback Chris! This was our first ever sponsored video so that is really good to know! Skillshare really is a great platform and we have learned so much from it.
Tried your famus Tuna recipe the other day was delish Thanks Good vid as well
That’s so good to hear Terry! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid as always guy’s 😄
Thanks Kevan!
Awesome.. such Lovley places ..we have subscribed to you as well .. cheers Chris & Sam from Uk 🇬🇧 x
Cheers guys! Thanks heaps for watching! 😊👍
Great potential guys. Gonna enjoy watching you evolve. New Subscriber.
Thanks so much Braden
Thank you Love 💕 your videos You are so entertaining
Thanks for watching Patrick 😊
Well done love this content guys thank you
So happy you enjoyed it Michael! Thanks for watching 😊
Always freeze squid or cuttlefish before cooking. Makes it far more tender when you cook it.
I always freeze overnight then thaw out in milk the enzymes help tenderise also.
Thanks for the tip! We are newbies when it comes to cooking squid.
Hi J & M, just discovered your channel. Was in Exmouth 7 days ago and loved the oysters on the breakwater. Had an extra 7days there in isolation with Covid, but what the hell,the weather was sublime and the Cape Range blew us away. The scale of the ravines was fabulous.
Its a beautiful place isn't it!! our favourite is defiantly oyster stacks! Thanks for watching Otto.
Literally just came back from a trip to Exmouth and Bullara a few days ago! What beach were those turtles at? Can't believe we didn't go there! Great video guys 😊
Thanks for watching Jabe! There is a point of interest pin on wiki camps called turtle resting area, if you're on your way out of Cape Range it's about 5-10 minutes after Yardie Homestead. Was so amazing to see!
Good video guys. Love beach camps.
Thanks Gary!
Spent nine months at the Harold E. Holt US Naval Communications Station - Exmouth Western Australia.
Interesting place, greatbeaches, great diving - love the beer, be safe, stay healthy.
Thanks for watching John! Stunning place isn't it!
Another amazing vid guys! We've been following since the start of the year. The filming and editing skills are getting so good!
Jack, we need to know why you don't swim??? It's killed us since we first realised Megan is always swimming alone - WHY!?!?
Thanks for following along guys! And thanks for the feedback 😊 I do swim just had some bad experiences when I was younger and still a little scared to jump in but working on it! 😂
@@itsJackandMegan oh no!! 😩 maybe just steal the noodle from Megan then 😉
Oyster Stacks is our absolute favourite snorkelling spot
Show good is it hey! So clear.
awesome video guys 🤙
Cheers mate!
Amazing place.
😊😊
That squid salad looked delicious, have to try that one.
It’s delicious!
nice one guys !!
👍😊
The drone Footage is spectacular
Another crackin' episode guys
Thanks mate! 😊👍
also you should get some braid on that fishing rod reel and then just use a clip to the squid jig .. you can use leader but not really needed ..
Yeah I gotta get a proper setup hey!
Thanks so much guys, when I saw your petrol guage Jack, I was sure you wouldn't make it to a petrol pump, how far did you have to go? You were so lucky. ⛽⛽⛽.
turtles were unreal, so close and so many. 🐢🐢🐢🐢. The snorkeling, footage was so good Megan and the water was so clear. 🐡🐠🐟. Well done guys. ❤🇦🇺🦘
We drove a further 30kms couldn’t believe we made it!
That was your best yet :):):):) saying that every week
Thanks Kerri! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Very nice place
😊
Geez. You guys eat better on the road than I do living at home. 👌
Congratulations
You master chef very good
My from is Ecuador Nice to meet you
😊 Thankyou for watching!
Tortuga 🐢 wow
Greetings from North Texas!!!
Was so amazing to see them all! Thanks so much for watching 🙏
Great video
Thanks Jason! 👍😊
How about Not as busy.
Lol love ya work.
Can't wait to see that part of Oz
It really is a stunning part of the world! Thanks for watching mate
hey guys, great vid, love squid aka calamari - so jealous, straight from the water into your belly yummmmm
you may not have seen it but I mentioned in a previous vid that you need to fit a switch to link the aux battery so you don't need to run that dodgy piece of wire to start the engine when the main battery is flat.
Yep I gotta do that still it’s weird some days it’ll start but others it won’t can’t figure the bloody thing out!
maybe a loose wire/cable on the battery/starter or starter battery on it's way out............? 🤔🤷
Just found you guys. Love it 🍻
Thanks for watching mate!
Cool videos, loved.)
Thanks mate so glad you enjoyed it! 😊👍
@@itsJackandMegan You are very welcome:)
Thumbs up 👍🏾 thanks
Cheers Matt!
We go to Kurrajong and Osprey every year, usually in May, Kurrajong the best snork, go out to just before the breakers, you will not be disappointed.
We will have to get back there next year to check out the snorkelling at Kurrajong!
Make sure U book, I'm booking for Osprey and Kurrajong next May, need to secure a site 26 weeks ahead.
Thanks guys.
Marty from Perth
Cheers Marty!
Anothee specky episode.Can't wait to get back over to WA.Used to live in Carnarvon when I was 3 during Apollo missions.Did Monkey Mia in 92 .
Carnarvon is a great place monkey Mia has become very busy now we gave it a miss this time round.
Hey mega-trim- jack love your video’s look forward to you each week?can tell us is that a rooftop tent or just a pop up room?and are you going to be at this year’s 4wd and adventure show?many thanks?
Hey Russell thanks for watching! We did a roof conversion on the troopy with an alu-cab tent! Has been the best mod to the car 🙌🏼 we aren't attending as creators but are definitely keen to go for a look ourselves considering we'll be in Perth when it's on!
I also free camp by the Telstra mast on Charles Knife. No that canyon view well. Enjoy
Didn’t realise we could camp there we ended up staying in the rac caravan park.
There's a few stealthy's on Charles Knife, better than spending $60.00 in Exmouth. We're completely self contained in a motorhome so can free camp or national parks. Enjoyed your podcasts.
There’s a Self serve Shell service station 10 kms out of Exmouth that has diesel up to 17 cents a liter cheaper
Will have to remember that next time we’re there! 🙌🏼
hi excellent , a quick tip on your mask , a little bit of spit rub it around on the interior lens and rinse in the sea water will prevent them from fogging up
Thanks for the tip Justin! We are absolute noobs when it comes to snorkelling so we're keen to get a bit more practice in!
Wonderful kids thank you
also I have another question.. if you guys didn't have a rear bar swing away tyre carrier. where would you put your gas bottle and Jerry's of water / fuel ? the roof?? I don't have that much realestate left up there with my setup
I’d chuck the gas bottle on the roof and have a water tank under the car.
Guys, I’m currently paying $211.5 for diesel in Adelaide
That redarc mod is worth making permanent with a momentary switch on the dash.
Yeah definitely going to run a wire helps when winching aswell.
Probably been asked before but why don't you swim Jack? Wicked episode!
A beer for breakfast ha😅
It’s only taken me 47 years and Jack to realize that not everyone needs to enjoy swimming in lakes / rivers / oceans! I find it awkward, somewhat inconvenient and a bit scary! Jack?
I do like to go in every know and again main reason is I am scared something I do have to get over! Just not my thing.
Love the Troopy. HDJ?
Hey mate it’s a 1hz.
Squid = Free food :-)
👍
You guys have the same bamboo bowls as us! How good are they? 😂
We do 😂😂 they’re so popular hey we love them because they’re so durable!
@@itsJackandMegan they are, we use them for everything. Cereals, curries, noodles, spaghetti, the list goes on 😆
I know exactly how you feel when you snorkel for the first time in ages…I always hyperventilate too! 😳😳😳😳
Glad I'm not alone on that one! Scared the crap out of me last time haha
running on fumes !! 2L haha
😂 was very risky!
You need to find out WHY YOUR STARTER battery was flat, some thing is not working, and it will cost you so.e thing some where, check earth straps, alternater, solar input, to start with, watch your fridges and freezers, be on guard
I think it happened when I ran the compressor of the starter battery and forgot to run the car at the same time.... other than that I can’t figure out why else it could have happened. The battery is about 2.5 years old.
@@itsJackandMegan stay on guard. Always check bits n pieces, rattle rattle fix fix, twist, tighten, cold beer in hand, oil. Water battery, power, voltage, constant checking needed, that chicken dinner looks yum,
😂😂 cold beer in hand love it mate!
@@itsJackandMegan yeah I was wondering the same.. you need a link switch .. flick the switch in an emergency and can allow the other battery to start the car .. better than a wire .. can Handel the amperage required
Gold in that gorge
👍😊
should get some padlocks on your top box exspecially for insurance better to be safe than sorry .. I do on mine ..
Yeah you got a point I got the locks in the car ready to go as well 😂
are there crocodiles on the west coast of that exmouth area ?? like cape york?? or nah just sharks n box jelly fish ?
Nuh mate just sharks and not to sure about box jelly fish.
Another good Ep guys, thnx. What’s the name of the beach ?? Thnx Rob
Jack, your Fav beach?
Mesa beach! There’s a campground there too. It’s a bit boggy to get onto but no dramas if you let your tyres down!
Megan's a bloody Mermaid, i love the Turtles as well, used to live on the Coast and they would come up next to your Boat, it's disgusting that they are still allowed to be hunted, and the Dugong..
They definitely should not be hunted! They’re a stunning animal aren’t they!
@@itsJackandMegan Amazing, it's surprising how fast they can swim, often when out cruising in my Boat through the Sandy Straights off Fraser Island, you would look down and there would be one or two cruising beside you..
Where did u get ur armrests from with the landcruiser on them ?
They are from 70series store they’re on Instagram. They’re brilliant.
@@itsJackandMegan we got some from one stone but i like the landcruiser on the side
JMxploring. Were did you get your maxtrack holder from?
Hey Jan it is from Quick Pitch in Perth! Definitely recommend!
