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.
You guys certainly show us many beautiful places but what really makes these episodes great is the human aspects within. The story telling and humorous interaction between you is the stuff that we all really love
Oh we absolutely love to hear that Jason thanks so much for the kind words! 🙏🏼🧡
Did anyone else flip out when Jack said "I actually dont know where megan is taking us today" thinking she was driving again? hahaha
You guys are always making the best videos! Such beautiful locations!
The reaction to the chocolate fruit was so good, Jack's realisation that it did taste like chocolate was crazy good!
You guys are just so down to earth and genuine. that bit at the end with explaining the national park was wholesome!
Thanks legend!!! The fruit was a very interesting flavour that’s for sure.
Gotta get Megan behind the wheel again actually. 😅😬
Thanks again for watching mate we love reading your comments! 😊😊👍
I can understand why Megan rates Big Crystal Creek as one of her favourite places in Australia. It's naturally beautiful. Very picturesque. Love all the various watering holes within short walks of each other. One for the bucket list.👍👍
Just a spectacular place isn’t it!
Thanks for watching mate! 👍😊
You two always bring a smile to my face. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us all. Megan and the hair spray cracked me up. Your my favourite Aussie traveler’s. Regards, Mario.
Thanks so much for the kind words😊 how bloody funny was the hair spray hey 😂😂
Thanks for another great episode. On our recent travels we met an indigenous couple at the Laura Rock art who told us we should always thank the spirits of the traditional owners for having you on their country. Maybe this was in part some of the gratitude you felt in this place. The welcoming of the indigenous spirits.
So great to see you guys adventurning abit further and Shaking off the constant of “ not supposed it” and having the time of your life. 💙💙💙
Thanks for watching Emma! So good adventuring that little bit further!
I just found this video by chance and after watching you decided to subscriber. You both have natural ability to talk as if you are actually taking to the viewers. I am from the UK. I have subscribed to an American couple and a UK couple van lifers who travel like you. Keep up the quality filming and the stills you seem better than thevothers , a thumbs up to you. From a new subscriber.
Thanks so much Hamza so glad you enjoyed the video 😊 thanks for the kind comment we’re glad to have you along for the journey 😊
Thank you both for sharing. You deserve all good that comes your way as it is easy to see how hard you work to deliver these wonderfully edited episodes for us each week.
Until next week, travel safe and watch for crocs every where Megan now your up north 😉
Thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying the episodes. Don’t worry I remind Megan multiple times a day 😂😂
Congratulations on everything you two have achieved. You really deserve it!
One Life, One Search,
Shane
Thanks so much Shane 🥹 thanks for joining us every week!
Great video as always. Very nice neck of the woods.
We call that fruit the chocolate pudding tree and the riper the better, very nice.
Was pretty nice! Apparently even better with some yogurt!
@@itsJackandMegan Ice cream or custard is what I have it with but yogurt would be healthier.
How good is Crystal Creek! So many spots there that you’ll have all to yourself! Glad to see you guys venturing out and finding those spots!
You are a couple of cute little kids. I love ❤️ watching you running around n doing stuff
Thanks Sean. 😊
Ditto
Another great episode…..you two are a pair of crazy cats 😂
I hope you ordered extra latches from Alu-cab? 5 months - yikes.
Safe travels xx
The pool scene made me smile as much as Megan. So much fun.

Thanks for watching mate 👍
Amazing vid once again! Loved that Jack went for a slide too! Wooo!
Thanks so much Sarah! Haha he loved it!
There are many awesome waterfalls and swimming holes in North Queensland.
Crystal ck at the bridge is always a little cool.

Thanks heaps Dean! So glad you enjoyed it ☺️☺️
Awesome ep Guys, Lovely area up that range around that bridge the diggers built
That bridge is just incredible hey! Thanks for watching mate 👍😊
Such an amazing couple plus the fact that the adventures is also inviting. I love the sliding part section it reminds me of my childhood days way back in Philippines.
Thanks for watching! I'm sure the waterholes would be amazing in Phillipines! Hopefully we can visit ourselves one day
Google Basa before you eat any more. Vietnam fish living in filthy water.
Nice to see the intro with how the bed bit folds.
Marty from Perth
Thanks Marty!
Yep after reading a few comments we won’t be buying it again 😅
You two are a crack up 🤣the aeroguard thing was classic and then finding some fire was a good one. Big crystal is great have you been to mutarnee just down the road from the highway it's a beautiful spot for a dip
We had the same thing happen to our catches. AluCab Cape Town sorted us out with some great new ones that look like the can be repaired on the road if need be.🤙
One of my favourite places, when visit mum in Townsville.
🏞️🛻📹🤙😎🌅🌄 good on you for having a go on the rock slide ! such an epic location ! very cool to see ! 🎬 great episode !
Was freezing but worth it! Thanks heaps for watching mate, so glad you enjoyed this one!
VO5 insect repellent 😂 I don’t feel so bad mistaking the handwash for lotion! I love Stranger Things. Unfortunately the very time I sat down to binge on it, I got sick and needed an ambulance 🤣but I did catch up eventually! Thanks for another awesome video you guys. Seeing as you like trying new fruit, you should look for jackfruit. So yum!
Awesome content guys. I'm taking the family up to Cairns from Brissy next year so we'll definitely go see those waterholes on our way
Yess the family will love it here! Thanks for watching mate!
Beautiful spots, What an amazing country we live in.

That spot where you said that looks like it would hurt your bump is the main rock slide! All us locals love that slide you get some mad speed

Jack.... you may need to rescue Megatron some day so you better know how to get in the water !
One of your best videos, really enjoyed it so thank you. Keep them coming please
So happy you enjoyed it Neil! Thanks so much for the feedback, we really appreciate it 🙏🏼🥰
Just found a you tube couple I think you will like for a couple of reasons, osom Aus. Jack please watch episode 2, “how he makes his pizza”.
With the Chocolate fruit you leave it untill it's overripe and squishy. Tastes awesome. Fantastic video too. Cheers
Yep not sure if you watched till the end it was brilliant the taste was very interesting.
@@itsJackandMegan Yea I should have waited lol
Did you guys look into locally sourced latches for the camper they might be better quality or at least easier to source. Another great video guys but that water looked dam cold great work jumping in.
Thanks for watching mate!
No we hadn’t even thought of looking local! As another viewer has said go check out Bunnings.
Another refreshing vid....great work guys!
Thanks Jack! Really appreciate it 🙏🏼
No food is "to die for" food is to live for so you get to enjoy it again. Lol.
Those waterfalls were awesome 👍👍👍bloody great spot 🔝🔝
Lmao at Megan using hairspray as deodorant 😂😂😂😂so funny
Hahaha definitely need to wear my glasses more often 😅😅
That was one funny episode. Loved it. My wife loves Stranger Things and is watching it as I write. Does her head in too. We both enjoyed this vlog very much. Keep up the great work guys. You are champions!
Thanks so much Steve! So happy to hear you enjoyed it 😀 haha how good is stranger things!
Awesome video!! Thank you! 😊👍🏻 Hello from malaysia 🇲🇾
First time l have seen your videos very good really enjoyed the video
Thanks Robert! So happy you enjoyed it!
Stranger things 😂🤣😂🤣
Just finished it very addictive 🤪.
What a beautiful spot👍.
Great video, as per usual. BTW just pop down to bunnings for those latches for your roof top tent. Easy as 👍
Never thought of this I’ll go have a look Tommorow! Cheers mate.
No worries 👍.. enjoy your travels. U never know. We may cross paths some day.
beautiful .
Haha love strangers things! What I would give to clear my brain and watch all the seasons again for the 1st time. Had to wait like 2 years in between seasons!
Yesss we said we were kind of lucky we were late to it so we didn’t have to wait between seasons 😝
Megan & Jack thanks for the video 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! 😃
Nice work young people! Well done. 👍🏼
Thanks Barry 😊
Good luck!!!👍👍👍👍🎥👍
Cool that you’re throwing in some Outtakes at the end now 😎
Glad you’re enjoying them mate 😆 thanks for watching!
Awesomeness
Surely you guys baked that chocolate fruit thing off-camera! :P Missed your blog last night
You got to go to Glencoe Falls north west Cardwell.
We lived in that area where the slides are for 24 yrs spent lots time swimming with our Grandkids great place
Amazing! We were saying how awesome it would be to live around there and have that be your local swimming spot 🙌🏼 What a place to grow up!
Big Crystal Creek is simply stunning. The water is so clear. With the amount of beatiful swimming areas visited, I would have though Jack would have been tempted to jumped in at least once.😁 Any new challenges suggested by your viewers for you to do? Keep sharing these breathtaking places.♥️ I too am a late fan of Stranger Things, I only started getting into it last year. Season 2 got even darker didn't it?😲😱
It’s so beautiful isn’t it!
That water slide is so much fun we spent a while there was great! A few challenge videos still to come. We haven’t forgotten them 😅
Stranger things is next level! We just finished it last night. It gets wild 😂
Excellent thanks heaps
Thanks for watching! ☺️☺️
Nice Places!!:)
Hello from Indonesia. Thanks for sharing beautiful places of North Queensland. It's feel like private heaven to me... amazing 😍🙌
Queensland is so beautiful! we hope to visit your country next year can't wait to explore! Thanks for watching :)
@@itsJackandMegan you're always welcome🙏
Love the videos guys, your living my dream :)
Have you ever considered integrating google earth satellite images and transitions of where your going, i personally love it as a small touch.
Keep it up guys, hope your enjoying yourself !!!
Thanks for watching!
We will try add this in a few coming episodes 😊
What a great video of yours, I thought it was really great. I also love making videos on YT😃
You really have my support in a great channel👍🏻
Thanks for watching 😊 Good luck with your channel as well! Will have to go check it out 👍😊
@@itsJackandMegan Do you also watch other channels? Then I would be happy if you take a look at mine, I have all the videos in different languages with subtitles. See you soon, The Surprise?

Stayed at Big Crystal Creek last week based on this video. Not disappointed. Will be back again.
How good is it hey!! Did you see the fruit stall!
Going to love your travels looks great so far.
Couple of thing what is the troupy like on Juice
what does the coconut milk taste like?
And
why is Megan always the first to test the water temp haha
Hey Rhonda thanks for watching 😊
We get 550km out of 90lts of diesel.
The coconut water is delicious very sweet
Megan loves the water I’m not a big fan of the water so megans always first in 😂😂
Fabulous video guys ,id love to trex around Australia, got a question for you guys where did you get the table with the max tracks and the one on the door, im building a camper canopy on my getting it ready for next .cheers guys
Thanks for watching Steven! We got it from Quick Pitch in Perth! Such a great mod to have!
We love watching you guys from here in South Africa 🇿🇦 if you are struggling to get Abu-cab clips we’ll bring you some when we visit Aus in December 😂
Haha how funny we are finally booked in to have it fixed in December! 😅😅
Good work
Hello, very beautiful, nature is beautiful, and you are the most beautiful greeting of love from southern Iraq. How I wish you in this nature♥️🌹
Thanks for another great video guy’s and keep your travels safe. Living in the north has many great places to visit and plenty of fresh food to try and experience. I thought I might warn you about Basa! It is imported and is usually harvested under stilted village’s and fed from human waste. Please don’t buy Basa, buy reef fish and enjoy the north.
Thanks for sharing this info Tim! We won’t be getting it again! And thanks for watching, so happy you’re enjoying the videos 😊☺️
Awesome work
Thanks for watching mate! ☺️
Thank you for the amazing video, definitely one of your best! Question though... why didn;t you feel comfortable cooking outside at that last campsite? Too many people around?
Thanks so much for watching! We just get a bit iffy in spots like that because we’re not entirely sure if it’s supposed to be caravans only and didn’t want to draw too much attention to ourselves 😆
By far my favourite channel guys. You two are nailing it.
Just wondering what size data plans on your phones do you have? I’m about to live on the road and have 200gb. Not sure if that’s enough tho. 🍻
Thanks mate!
Megan has a 40gb a month plan and I have 80gb a month between the two of us we use it all up in a month! It’s not enough. 200gb sounds great you should be fine. 👍😊
Good 👍
Where I live in California in the Sierra Nevada mountains the rivers look exactly the same as this. Glad to see the same type of beauty elsewhere in the world. BTW are there any salties nearby? 🐊
That’s so cool! We’ll have to put it on our list to visit then! None around these waterholes but there are in the ocean not too far away!
Great vid again! Those water holes are now on my list.
Where was the beach at the end please?
Thanks for watching 😊
The beach is Saunders beach just north of Townsville 👍
Great, thanks 😊
Enjoy our back yard , we just think this is an average day trip from home . So happy to have you guys here. Look up where Bassa comes from , you wont buy that shi;;; again.
Thanks for watching Marc.
Bloody beautiful place hey. Have just looked it up and received a few other comments we’re not to keen on bass anymore 😂
Amazing content
Thank you! So glad you’re enjoying the videos 😀
Watched this one with dinner tonight with the fam, think I might of converted over the fam over to be Jack and Meagan fans. Next time we meet they will know who you are haha.
Honestly banging episode, not just the thumbnail getting you views, cracking content too.
😂😂 love it mate! Thanks for watching guys puluma national parks a banga place! Bloody thumbnails don’t get me started on that subject hahahah 🤣
@@itsJackandMegan it's near Townsville which is apparently off limits according to Mel... Maybe this will convince her, though sadly, it's going to be a long time before we come back this way.
these guys shows are great hope they dont go down the same path as the other traveling shows were they all go professional love the raw stuff
Thanks mate. 😊
You guys should try Murray Falls just north of Cardwell
Stay tuned for Sunday! 😁😁
Jack Mate in the water🤣🤣
He’s done it!! 😆
Make your own mozzie spray. Dettol,real tea tree oil and baby oil.
nice look
I also watching strange things 😀👍🏼
It’s an addictive show isn’t it! 😆
Visite Campos Dos Goytacazes RJ Brasil.
Since our first trip to 🇦🇺 in 2003, apparently the only '4WD technology' that was never improved are the latches 😉 Any new / better solution out there?
you 2 are a couple of champions cobber
Thanks legend 😊
♥️
Hey guys! I live in the area of Ingham and it is definitely a beautiful part of Australia. That wasn't Magnetic Island, magnetic Island is off the coast of Townsville. Have you guys done Wallamen Falls yet?
Oh yes that’s right! We have in todays video! 😁😁 incredible place isn’t it!
@@itsJackandMegan Ah beauty! Will be tuning in! Enjoy guys.
So do you guys have a ladder in the camper vor you just climb up on the chair?
We just step up on to the fridge and jump up 👍😊
Where you at Fraser Island a couple weeks ago? Think I saw you's there. If not you, someone looks like you both with same vehicle.
Nah wasn’t us mate!
No crocs in there?! 🤣
Not that we know of 😅😂
Living in Townsville, Crystal is my local.
Would be sooo good to have that as your local swimming spot! 😍🙌🏼
