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.
It's very important that the lady learns how to drive with a caravan in case you're partner gets sick or ill or something, its an important skill for the ladies
Watching the two of you each episode is like watching my kids on Christmas morning, your joy and excitement for every little thing is infectious.
Love your adventure.
Thanks Dave! Megan on Christmas Day is next level 😂😂
One of the greatest memories I have was the view from the top of Ayres Rock. That too all the thorny Devils that were everywhere.
That would have been incredible hey!
The Days of Climbing the Rock at 4am, and seeing sun rise we're amazing! But a walk around is great. Funny story. First time I was there I dropped my sister's camera and it bounced all the way down off the side of the rock. 2 hours later in the car park a German tourist was walking around. Did someone drop a camera? Got it back. Amazing. It was in its padded bag, but the strap broke. And still worked
Great video, If you ever go back past there again go check out the viewing platform at Kata Juta? (Olgas) for sunrise coming up behind Ularu.....Epic!
Fantastic guys, what beautiful footage. I especially loved the timelapse, the moving clouds and colour changes on Uluru looked spectacular. Thanks for sharing!
No worries mate! Couldn’t believe how many different colours appeared as the sun was setting. 👍
Those steps at the beginning of the Rim Walk are killer. All of those places are awe inspiring.
Hope Megan isn't sick.
Oh yeah they are not easy 😂😂
Great Stuff !! I love it there too! Been probably nearly 25 years, we've gotta get back some day. 👍👍
Incredible isn't it!
Desmond here your video is amazing jack and Megan I am also doing the kings canyon is it. True the red centre change to many colours
I don't often click the recommended videos over on the right but I'm glad I did, this was pretty awesome. I'll have to go back and watch a couple of older episodes but it looks like you're having a great trip. You're right, Uluru probably needs 2 nights but you hit all the highs in 1 so well done. We did the lap a couple of decades ago and only gave Uluru / kata Juta 2 nights. We only gave a max of 2 nights for most places - we did our lap in 3ish weeks. 😂 Up the centre from Adelaide, left at Katherine to Broome, down to Perth, and left again to Adelaide. 3 weeks is probably a bit quick but. 😂 Looking forward to the rest of your trip now though. Great job!
PS. Everybody says Uluru is one of those places you have to see in person. Deadset, it's true. Even growing up in Australia and seeing the images forever, nothing prepares you for the awesomeness that is the rock. I totally get why you were blown away.
Hey Shane thanks for watching mate!
Yep minimum 2 night at Uluru to much to see hey. 3 weeks is quick but I bet you had a bloody good time!! The videos and photos just don’t do it justice hey it’s incredible isn’t it! 👍
Awesome edit & soundtrack guys!
Love your excitement & energy! 5 stars.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks Craig! Appreciate it mate 😊
How beautiful is Uluru, being there is just such an incredible experience! Glad you guys got to do this :) Thanks for sharing!
Your were both energetically healing at Uluru and Kata Tjuta, hence why she was probably abnormally lethargic. Be good to support her so she can continue supporting you. It's expensive per night, and for nothing but heat, ants and flies. So I understand being there for one. Hope you enjoyed Devils Marbles.
Beautiful vlog ❤.crying out love in the centre of the world,you two❤❤😊
Best thing about the long flat drive to the Rock is the size and height blows you away. Some of that rock art being so old is impressive and a bit undervalued.
Exactly right mate when you drive in it’s just massive hey!! And the rock art is incredible it’s a very special place!
You two had the same spiritual experience I had there. You can feel how important the place is to the first nation people.
One Life, One Search,
Shane
Great video guys.
This is on my bucket list. (It's really long).
Sometimes you just need to sit and relax. Glad you guys did that.
Regards from Africa.
Awesome video - shame you did not find the pay for two stay for three nights at Uluru deal. Not really promoted but great value :-) The Valley of the winds walk is absolutely worth doing at Kata Tjuta (3-4 hours walking). Great experience, but probably not good for UA-cam with the request for no photography aspect. I would encourage you to take the time to experience the places - we loved the time we spent in NT last year. Thanks for the reminders.
Thanks for watching Toby! we didn't have a clue about that deal otherwise we would have stayed it would have been great!!
Yep! Been there. Done that
You will love the West McDonald Ranges. Ormiston Gorge in particular...
THE INTRO!!!! WOW!
What a great intro, that was done so well! I loved that! Brilliant episode again you two! I cant believe you only stayed 1 night there. I admit that I have hardly watched anything on Uluru, but after this, im definitely interested. Might have to watch a couple of times
Sorry for the late reply here mate.
Uluru was honestly spectacular a few videos on UA-cam of people climbing it. It would be an amazing view! Thanks again mate!
love a good mid week video keep it up
We are heading from Brisbane to uluru in 2 weeks time its our first big trip with our new van bit nervous tbh
Nothing to worry about take it slow guys you will love it!
Hey guys, while you are in and around Alice Springs, you should go to Lambert Geographic Centre of Australia Old Àndado is an awesome experience. Experience some remote travel up the Old Ghan Line. Chamber's Pillar is pretty cool.
Have fun
Love how you have got that troopy set up 🤞
Uluru is simply breathtaking. And I agree, you have to be there in person to fully appreciate the experience. Videos and photos don't do it enough justice. Well done J&M. 👍
Thanks for watching mate. Also sorry for the late reply on this comment!
Such an adventure! Awesome video!!👌
Thankyou🙏👍
Love you guys, always make me and my my wife laugh 😃, and have given us a determination to go to uluaru, thanks Megan and Jack.
Muck love Liz and Brad, don't forget about our character of catch and cook. God Bless you both on your journey. Remember keep the shinny side up. A quote from 4wd adventures Australia. Cheers and God Bless the 2 of you xxxxxxxxx
You guys make me feel sorry.. I can watch on my bed such a professional and amazing video
2 minutes in and I’ve got to post a comment! This is the pinnacle of your story telling and video composition so far, well done - just love being the “third person” on your trips. Now, time to finish the ep...
That means the world to us thank you so much! Haha hope you enjoyed the rest of it!
Great video again guys brought back some wonderful memories for us especially those flys . We love the the fact that you guys are so authentic keep up the great ( hard work ) ❤️❤️
So glad you enjoyed it Trevor! It really is a special place isn't it! Thanks so much for joining us ☺️
Awesome video guys! I used to work at the camel farm at uluru definitely check it out if you go back and have more time! Kings canyon is amazing also 😍
Megan & Jack thanks for the great video 👍👍👍
No worries! 😊😊
another great ep...agree the Olgas are prop better than Uluru. don't be in such a rush to move on to next location, take it all in and enjoy
Thanks for watching Graeme! yes we did rush a little we just get all excited sometimes and forget we have to take our time 😂
Thx for taking me to Ayres Rock
Awesome video, brought back some good memories for me. I loved it up there. Lived in Darwin for 2 and half years and the NT is a special place in the dry season. Look forward to the next video.
So good to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. 😊😊
Looks incredible! We’re currently in Sydney but cannot wait to get out there 😮
You will absolutely love it! It's a completely different world 🥰
They’ve done it again, another awesome video 👌🏽
Thanks Georgia! So glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰
Loved the time lapse of Uluru and that sunrise was just so spectacular! Also I’m green with envy coz it’s freezing here in Melbourne! Another great video!
The sunset was incredible! The rock changed colour at least 4 times we couldn’t believe it!
Amazing video i would love to travel Aussie one day. You guys are so amazing and everything you do. Huge fan i get sooo excited when i see that you have uploaded and the first thing i do is like and comment. You truely are my inspirations. Keep doing what your doing and may you be blessed in everything you do.
Thanks Caleb we love getting your comments!
Another great vid guys. My wife and I visited Jack and Megan"s Mystical, Magical, Mega Monolith a few years ago and I agree you haven't seen it till you've been there. We were lucky enough to spend a week there and even took a helicopter flight over the Rock and Kata junta absolute must do if you can swing it. Thanks for rekindling the memories. Travel safes hope to catch up with you out on the tracks some time .
Hey Stephan thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply here! A helicopter ride would been incredible! We saw about 4 helicopters flying at once at some point when we were there!
Whoooo this is so Beautiful I enjoyed watching checking in fr SA
Wow this is really cool.. looks like you had an awesome time.. how good is australia..
It really is incredible there isn't it! Thanks for watching 😊
Such a spiritual place, I remember the old days camping at the bottom of the rock. It’s all changed of course was last there in 2008…..Wow, must get back asap.
You’ve probably already left the area, hope you made it to the East McDonnell ranges - Ruby Gap, great out there and less peops
Another great episode….Megan’s like the energiser bunny, just wind her up and she’s good to go again. 😂
That was awesome...and on a Thursday ...nice bonus
Glad you enjoyed it
Love this! You guys are hilarious 🤣 keen to see the next episode! We’re so keen to do NT 😍
Cheers guys!!
Great episode guys! I loved Uluru but I agree with you Jack, I thought the Olga's were better too. Cheers
You 2 rock 🤟.
Im so jealous at this point in time.
Beautiful footage 🍻
Keep on just being honest and genuine love ya guts 😉😜.
Thanks mate!!!
Loved 😍 Alice Springs and Air Rock we were there last year AWESOME.
Still loving ❤ your content keep up the good work. 👍
Cheers Tim and Trish. ♥️
So happy to hear you enjoyed it guys thanks for watching! It's an incredible part of Aus isn't it!
heaps cool video ! 🏜️🤙😎 well done !
Thanks! 👍
Hey guy's,good to see you enjoying our land,love seeing it your eye's.
Please enjoy your time in the NT.Thanks for being here.😀😎
Thanks so much for watching mate! Such a special place isn't it!
It is very impressive. We did a few things around there. The sun rises and sunsets are the best
Beautiful place mate. For us it was that sunset we couldn’t believe the colours! 😊
We did it in Oct school holidays 2019 just before the climb closed, there were almost as many people as flies. Curtin Springs was a great base camp, the 80km drive was far better that the cost of Yalara. Great video, love following your journey, hoping to be on our 2nd lap next year
Yeah mate it was pretty busy when we went as well and flys everywhere 😂😂 would have been nice to see the view from the top tho!
Wow nature give you the best it have to over epic episode thanks for sharing greetings from South Africa
Thanks for watching Shaun, so happy you enjoyed this one! It really is an incredible landscape out there!
And a creativity thumbs up!
Thanks so much Greg! Really appreciate it 🥰🥰
Hey guys very good last few videos question
Where is you’re tyre gear bag from and back door organiser cheers
Hey mate thanks for watching!
It’s a PM canvas products bag 😊
just missed a head on leaving the rock one morning,,, the misses screamed the lights where on our side of the road....dont no how we missed he swerverd into the scrub
Great vid guys. Why didn't you stay an extra night at the rock? As you rightly say....to do it justice you need 2 or 3 nights. Why the hurry? We loved the centre and you'll love the McDonnell ranges. Don't miss Roma gorge. Not many people go to this gorge as it's 4WD only. It about 8Km in via dry river creek beds but it worth it. Stunning gorge with rock carvings ( Petroglyphs) everywhere.
Great video guys, beautiful country how lucky we are 😃
Thanks Kim! Incredibly lucky, such a stunning part of the world 😍😍
Great one guys 👍👍👍🥞🍳🥑🥪
Desmond here I am only months away heading to Adelaide to Darwin tour starts august the 6th 2024 heading to the flinders red centre Alice springs 16day tour how are the flys there how hot is it I am flying from Auckland new Zealand first time ever to the northern territory cannot wait
Great video guys! :)
Thanks George 😊
Mt Augustus is a must when your back in WA, its technically not a monolith like Ayres, but a monocline, an inselberg. It is more than twice the size overall. Roll it in with a trip through the Kennedy Ranges.
Yep heard about his one! The old man told me about it. Hopefully we get the chance to see it one day.
Very beautiful video 😍 like it 😍👍
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Epic video guys. We'll done
Thanks Paul 😊
The rock is definitely one of my places...
Your enthusiasm makes me want to get back out there
Keep up the great work guys😎
Thanks Mark appreciate it mate 😊👍 start planning that trip 😉
Off to the NT in October 😎
You don't need chicken stock cubes. They do not taste like chicken. At least vegetable stock cubes taste like vegetable stock. 😋
Love this vid. Will you guys by any chance, be in Darwin in time for the THE DARWIN 4WD, BOATING & CAMPING EXPO
25 - 26 JUNE 2022?
Unfortunately not mate we have decided to head over to Queensland! Thanks for watching!
nice work guys
Cheers Craig!
Hay guys...love the channel as a new viewer....if you like Uluru then you must see Mt. Augustus, the biggest rock in the world. good luck guys.
Thanks so much for joining us! Ooo yes we did look that one up while we were at Uluṟu because we were thinking “surely nothings bigger than that”😂😂 so it’s definitely on our list to see!
Love it
Thanks Kevin!!
So sad you cannot climb the red rock any more🙁
The video editing from you guys is just mint 👌. Who gets to claim it?
That’s Megan mate she’s getting pretty bloody good at it hey! I got some catching up to do!
Cool
Thanks for watching! 😊😊
Do you have a pee toilet in your Car?
P.S. a great video.
Suggest you get Megan's iron levels tested, or at least take some iron supplements. Low iron causing tiredness is very common particularly for woman.
Another great vid guys but please take your time to soak it all in. Uluru, Olgas and Kings Canyon in 3 days just doesnt do that area justice. Safe travels
Always Uluru on my bucket list could you help with my planning please. Driving up from Adelaide up. Could you please tell me what the road conditions are like I will be driving an 08 Holden Commodore. I have heard there are washouts along the Lasseter Hwy. Thanks for any advice.
Hey mate no problems at all! Can easily be done in a 2wd 😊
Never never know if you never never go
Oops I will be there once driving
Hey trendsetters, it's a big Rock hey ? we used to tell the Backpackers it was Fibreglass lol..
its MASSIVE! 😂😂 fibreglass what a crack up.
@@itsJackandMegan Yep, like the Big Pineapple etc, all fake lol...
I'd love to fly around with a paramotor.... sadly it's a no-fly zone there....
Nice time lapse btw.
No need to rush from place to place guys.... if you miss a weekly video... so what? Put your feet up a bit... and enjoy. :)
Challenge I meant lil
100 🤙
Thanks for watching mate!
Lol

Loved the video but wish we would of had a full episode on Uluṟu and another full episode on kings canion 😊
It’s such a great place and you guys did great to get what “private” footage you can. Hope you made it into Ruby Gap as that was our highlight of our Alice spots… including Uluṟu. Me n Mrs love watching your vids. Troop on 🤟
