G’day! We’re Katie, Paul and Jasper Guerin from Queensland’s Gold Coast.
We’ve been traveling full time around Australia as a family for over 5 years in our Toyota Landcruiser 79 series and Zone RV Sojourn off road caravan.
In September 2019 we packed up our lives and hit the road for full time travel around Australia. After a 4 year IVF journey to create our family and long hours spent working our corporate roles we started to wonder if there was a better way. After Jasper was born our perception of what really mattered changed and we realised our most precious commodity was time. We wanted to create more time together as a family, and spend our days sharing experiences and making memories to last a lifetime.
What seemed like a crazy idea at the time set in motion a 2 year plan to pack up our lives, downsize our ‘stuff’ and explore this great country of ours traveling Australia full time in a caravan.
It is the best decision we ever made, and over 5 years and over 180,000km later we are still loving traveling this incredible country and living in our tiny home on wheels.
Each week we produce an episode of our Travel Australia series for our YouTube Channel and free to air television (Channel 31 Melbourne and Channel 44 Adelaide and new in 2025 SKY TV New Zealand), as well as a weekly Podcast that showcases destinations, experiences, RV Industry News and Special Guests that share their journey around Australia!
If you are planning on road tripping Australia, are dreaming of tackling your own ‘Big Lap’ or are just looking for inspiration to get out there on weekends or school holidays, we’d love you to travel with us and experience the best this country has to offer!

Cyclones, bushfires, and flash floods – Australia's weather can turn from perfect to perilous faster than you can pack up your awning. When Cyclone Alfred approached Queensland's southeast coast, our family faced an unfamiliar threat that transformed from potential disaster to valuable learning experience.
The slow-moving cyclone (downgraded before landfall yet still delivering destructive rain and widespread power outages) highlighted a crucial truth for all travelers: emergency preparedness isn't optional – it's essential. Drawing from both this recent experience and our earlier encounter with bushfire danger, we share five critical components of an effective evacuation plan that every caravanner needs.
From assessing campground risks (those picturesque dry creek beds can flood with just 10mm of rain!) to configuring emergency alert apps, maintaining a ready-to-go emergency kit, keeping your vehicle primed for quick departure, and knowing when to make the call to leave – our practical approach demystifies disaster preparedness without inducing panic.
We've learned through experience that preparation doesn't diminish adventure; rather, it provides the confidence to explore further knowing you're equipped to handle unexpected situations. With climate extremes becoming more frequent, these discussions are increasingly vital for all travelers, especially families.
The ultimate message resonates beyond caravanning: prepare thoroughly, stay informed, and prioritize safety above all else – because while your vehicle and gear can be replaced, nothing can replace you. Join us for this essential conversation about protecting what matters most while embracing the beauty and unpredictability of Australia's magnificent landscapes.
