Australian Road Trip | Byron Bay to Melbourne
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Hello Darlings! In this weeks video James and I have come from visiting family in Byron Bay and we decided to take a road trip to get back to Melbourne. We didn't use any satellite navigation on our phones to guide our journey, we just used the old school map book to find our way home to Melbourne through inland Australia! We start on the far north east coast of NSW and then go inland to Armidale and Tamworth and lots of little cute towns between! I know this isn't my usual vintage video, but I hope you enjoy this style of video just the same!
Sending lots of love,
Sage Xx

Americans singing along: Oh, beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
Omg I thought the same
I saw this comment first and was waiting for it lol. Found it and totally did sing along!
What's the Australian version, super curious 💕
I loved that and thought the same thing!
@@lauramanning8659 There isn't an Australian version! It's completely unique to The States. I was listening and thinking, "Isn't this American? What is this song?" And then I remembered. I'm not sure why she chose it but I think she wanted something majestic. 😊
I like how ironic that “America The Beautiful “ is playing while we are enjoying beautiful Australian scenery. Made me chuckle❤️
Also I two have a Nanny and Poppy! And their yard with all the birds is GORGEOUS
Glad I wasn’t the only one who got a laugh from the background music.
I just found you, and enjoyed your road trip so much! I adore your accent, and your vintage style. You see, I am a widow ,83 years old. Watching you and your sweet hubby reminds me so much of me and my hubby back in 1962 on our honeymoon camping road trip across the USA. And many,many years later of our trip to Australia. Thanks for the memories!
Ahhh I’m from the states and seeing y’all drive on the “other side” of the road is so neat 🥰
Same. It's the little things.
Don't forget, also the other side of the car. Learning to drive that way was a bit challenging at first. I was always going to the "wrong" side of the car, looking for the steering wheel. 🥴
It's so neat seeing the similarities too! 🤩
I am too. I was thinking that and how strange it was to hear the temperature in Celcius.
They also drive on the left hand side in the UK. At first I thought she was British but no an Aussie for sure!
I am so impressed by this whole super fun, beautifully sweet video.
1). Adorable couple💖
2). Gorgeous sites/kangaroos (that really is a "thing")
3). No arguing from either one of you arguing or fighting over having to look at the map book because you got lost and had no idea where you were. (Our map book was torn to shreds when we were driving through the Los Angeles area decades ago)😑
4.) No pulling over asking for directions from random people.
5.) Steady state of calm throughout your whole journey.😌
6.) Not an ounce of traffic anywhere 🗻🌄⛰️
Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous journey with the rest of us. 🌹❤️🌹
Calling my travel agent on Monday 😊
I had no idea that Australia is just basically Texas. I can't believe the similarities is the way that the landscape looks.
It really does I agree
Are you in Texas? I'm in Texas!
I've noticed that before. Except for the side of the road Australia drives on, and the Kangaroos, it could be the USA
@@hutchcraftcp No. It's completely different. Yes, there are spots here and there that are reminiscent of Texas, but all in all, Australia is MUCH different. It's also nearly the same size as the US, and - like the US - it's landscape changes, depending on where you go.
EDIT: I just wanted to mention that I have lived in both Texas and Australia for several years, so I know this firsthand. 😉
Yes! It totally looks like Texas.
Never have I thought to look into the beautiful diversity of the Australian landscape. The Waterfall Way seriously looks like Alaska. Gosh, Australia is gorgeous...
I love the vintage luggage, and I always prefer to travel with a paper atlas. Loved everything about this video.
I LOVE that fact you used an old paper map !!
It was so much fun to do instead of using our phones!
@@SageLilleyman I'd just like to come back, so I can visit my late wife's parents 😥
Love that detail
Austraila is so scenic. I wanna go sometime!
My husband and I are about to go on holiday driving to Yellowstone National Park. I’m really excited!
So fun to see some of the Australian outdoors! 😀
What a fun video to watch, I have never seen this before. It's kind of strange seeing you driving on the left side of the road, here in America we drive on the right. Sage, I really do love all your videos you are my favorite UA-camr. You are always happy and such a sweet person the way the world is today, you are a breath of fresh air. I always look forward to watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.🙂💖
We drive on the left in England.
Australia is beautiful vintage looking!! I love your Grannies bathroom. What a fun trip👏🏻💕❤️I love your channel🏠🥰☕️☕️
You guys make a Great Coulpe. Let folks know how to send you a wedding gift when it's time please. God Bless you guys! 😊 You guys have to get James some warm 1950s 40s cloths :)
I'm so glad you had a safe trip! It's great you both are covid free, sounds strange but I like to hear about the different precautions different countries are doing. As a nurse I've had covid twice and it's not anything fun. I caught it the first time in mid March 2020 from a patient right before my state went into shut down (before any precautions were even in place). Then I caught it again from my roommate in January of this year. Hopefully our world will return to "normal" soon.
Yikes! Glad you made it through. 🤍
@@VioletJoy thank you, I don't think I could have done it without my parents making deliveries to my door and accepting virtual payments, I'm very lucky they live close. I think if anyone is getting the 4th strand that has came out, it's going to be me though.... Seems like I'm just lucky that way. The only thing I still have an issue with is taste/smells, and it's slowly coming back. I can smell really strong things but not much else. Also anything French vanilla tastes like vomit to me now, don't know what that's about. 🤷🏼♀️🤣
@@kaylamarie1796 Oh gosh! 🤣 Funny, not funny.
Oh my goodness I am so sorry you had to deal with COVID twice! I also hope everything goes back to normal soon
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE YOUR TRAVEL VIDEOS! AND ALL OF YOUR OUTFITS ARE GORGEOUS!
This was really cool!
Australia is a bucket list trip for me--one day I'll make it! My grandma's family was from NSW and I've always wanted to see it in person. I loved seeing the kangaroos! Thanks for taking us on your trip! It is a great escape for me from our record heat and all the smoke blowing in from fires in California. Love from the western US 💕
May I ask where you're from? I'm in LA county so we aren't getting smoke down here, that I know of. By the way, when you go to Australia can I go with you? 🔥 😁
I still can't get over how it's so cold there in July. It just seems so backwards to me. Also, loved the song. Lol.
What fun, Australia is breathtakingly beautiful.
What a treat. I've always wanted to go to Australia,. Its really lovely and I agree it does look so similar to texas. Thank you so much for the video sweetie 💞❤💞
What a terrific travel log. Must get back to using good old map books on my next road trip. Amazing scenery - those trees look prehistoric and you saw some roo's! So glad you got to spend time with family. Always love your sense of humour. And of course there's nothing like a nice cup of tea! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching! :)
Hi Sage. Thank you for showing parts of Australia I wouldn't get to see. Loved the quaint towns and countryside. Enjoyed the waterfall and the history also the submarine. Marie.
good for you guys; great trip
I love doing this, have been all my life of 50 years of driving, taking the off the major roads to check out side roads ..the best..
Thank you for showing me your country. And thank you for all the videos you bring out. Have a blessed day
How fun! The scenery all beautiful..love the kangaroos siting too! Lol, your little heads traveling the map, too cute! 😆
I would love for it to be cool enough here to wear a sweater ☺️ Looks like a great trip! Thanks for sharing!
Loved watching this and made me very homesick for Australia. I used to go camping with my parents to Gundagai when I was little. The towns all look the same as when I was there 30 years ago. Thank you for bringing us along with you.
Aw I’m glad I could bring you down memory lane! Thank you so much for watching 😊
“There’s a track winding back to an old fashioned shack…” sorry that always makes me think of that song 😆
Loved watching this Video. If you road trip down this way again stop at Albury, Beechworth & Bright NSW so much history 😊
Even with the surreal listen to the US National Anthem while gazing on beautiful Ozzie countryside, I love you guys.
What a beautiful adventure through some amazing sites. Thank you Sage & James for taking us along on your journey. We hope one day we to can make Australia our road trip..
Cheers from PA in the USA. 💐
yay! I love long videos!
Agreed! The longer, the better!
THE OUTSIDE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS HAD FUN .
Love the vlog and so glad you were able to get back into Vic before the locking of any borders.
Cute couple! I treasure my road atlases and folded maps. They’re an important part of planning & use them regularly during our leisure road trips. Loved your beautiful Australian journey, thanks!!!
I‘m from Switzerland and I travelled with my family from Darwin to Alice Springs, from there to Broome and back to Darwin when I was 15. I LOVED Australia so much. Can‘t wait to come back one day! I enjoyed your video a lot, it was so nice with the landscape, music and you using a map 😍 very nostalgic and calming!
What an amazing trip to go on as a teenager - I've been from Darwin to Alice before for work but never for a holiday, something I would love to do with my own kids one day. Living here it's one of those things some of us just really need to make time for I think
Clare Miller you should absolutely do it! When I have kids, I want to gravel Europe with them. I‘m dedicated to the idea of getting a camper and go on roadtrips with my family. I enjoyed that a lot as a kid. Especially when we would stay at campgrounds so I could run around and be active after a day in the car.
Your random dancing is just 👌👌🤣 I love it!! 🤗
Looks like so much fun! You two will remember trips like this always. I love adventures with my husband.
You two are the cutest couple! Love the beautiful scenery
I love finding little local eateries along the way. Always the best food!
Have a nice trip and enjoy at the moment
Wow, kudos on the movie-like intro! Thank you so much for sharing!
Here today in the middle of America it is 77 degrees . It really should warmer but strange year . It was hotter but I think fall will be here early maybe spring will get there soon too . Yay kinda
Love this vlog love the ruins. Beautiful
oh my gosh, those old buildings in the small townships are so cute!! I really want to see this part of Australia one day
This was SO fun! Thank you for taking us along! Loved it!!🚗
I loved this! I’m up with insomnia and after a snack and some water, going back to bed for happy traveling dreams. ☀️ Thank you for your lovely channel!
I would love to visit Australia. It looks beautiful ❤💕
Just seeing this! So much fun going on vacation with you and Jim! You guys are just so adorable! I’m glad you had a little journey by map - so much fun!!
You two are the cutest couple ever i love it!! 💖☺️
I love that you’re in NSW and America the Beautiful is the song playing! I saw another comment saying that AU looks like Texas...because I thought the same thing and I live in wine country/ the Bay Area in California and it does look quite similar in NSW on your way home.
What a small, wonderful world we live in. Let’s just all keep that in mind..we’re all alike but also so fabulously different. Let’s all just be friends. (I’m talking to you, Putin! I think he needs a hug or something...)
I love that at 2:34 it starts playing america the beautiful😂Loved the video!!!
Sage that was so beautiful to see especially where you went it was so beautiful. You looked absolutely gorgeous. Thankyou again your such a beautiful person❤️🌹
Watching from the UK. What a great video. Thank you Sage and James for sharing your road trip. It was a pleasure to watch. 🙏❤️
I loved to see the villages from Australia! It felt so relaxing ! And James’s moustache is absolutely charming 😍❤️
I love this style of video, it makes me really want to go travelling. Also the outtakes are always my favourite part
Lovely video, and great editing :) Some of the natural scenery looks very similar to parts of South Africa, but your old towns are so much prettier and better maintained. Glad you had a safe and fun trip; thanks for sharing!
We definitely do live in such a beautiful country 🥰
Such a cool trip Sage! Your grandparents are adorable!! Thank you for sharing! I love all your videos! I grew up in Coffs Harbour so it was exciting to see a glimpse of the Big Banana!
Hi Sage!
Australia is so beautiful, I wish to visit some time...😍 Thank You for showing to us wonders of Your home land... Such a lovely trip Sweetie. 😊
My husband prefers the original paper maps, like You said "the old school travelling"...and I love it too...😉👍
Lots of love... 💝
I am so enjoying this road trip with you guys and l so into waterfalls I just like waterfalls so relaxing but what a treat too see a wild kangaroo 🦘 your gran and pop the filming outside their house you were filming outside was that their garden
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful country!!!
So beautiful and well done for navigating by map! My parents house is only 10 miles from our house but there’s a river between otherwise we could walk and I would still get lost! I love your content.
Love all your videos. This one was wonderful. It took me back to a simpler time and love the swimwear.
Ugh makes me miss the cold so much! Such a lovely trip 🥰
I visited Australia (Adelaide to Sydney) 15 years ago and was surprised at how much it resembled mid-California. Especially back in the 60s/70s.
Very wonderful! God bless you 🙏guys and your family 👪🙏❤
I love that you have the vintage suitcase
You may be surprised to learn that a real 1950s road trip would have seen you on roads without asphalt/bitumen+chippings on many occasions, gravel road (even parts of the Hume Hwy). You would have heard the gravel stones 'polishing' the underside of your vehicle, and perhaps a stone would get into your drum brakes requiring a visit to a garage. Tyres weren't as good - you would have expected to change at least one. And when you bought petrol it was a totally hands free for you business - an attendant filled the tank for you, you just handed over cash and got 'change'.
You two are the cutest couple!
omg I love all your videos and your energy is contagious love your vibe and your lifestyle
Great video love all the places you Visit. So happy couple . Love it 😀😀
Oh hello! You nearly made it up as far as me. I'm on the other side of that remnant volano, Tamborine Mountain. The inland highway is a lovely run too
That submarine is so bizarre we saw it on our way back to Sydney from Melbourne. No water in sight but it was a good place for two little kids to play and the bakery down the road was pretty magnificent
Nice to see cold weather. It's 110 degrees Fahrenheit here (Arizona)! (That's 43 degrees Celsius). Sometimes, during summer, when it's 110 every day, you get to feeling like it will never be cool again. Lovely of you to share your road trip. The bouncing heads on the map was hilarious! By the way, why do you people keep driving on the wrong side of the road? ;)
One of the reasons I moved to Prescott😉
I loved this video!
your videos are just perfect and such a blessing to watch!
I really enjoyed you sharing with us parts of Australia. It’s so beautiful 🤩 I call my grandpa Poppy!
Beautiful 🤩 travel vlog
I’m from Lismore NSW.. 40 mins from Byron bay!! I had gone to Maclean a few weeks ago and had seen the exact same boat docked on the river! How crazy!
I’ve just randomly stumbled upon your 1940 house wife videos and I’m loving it ♥️
"America the Beautiful" in a video about an Australian roadtrip? Interesting choice. 🤔
The music is originally from a hymn "Materna" by Samuel A. Ward, and was then later used for "America the Beautiful". "America the Beautiful" was actually a poem, that people sang to many different tunes, until pairing it with "Materna" became the most popular
@@Amy-cv4fd I had never heard that before. Thank you for educating me. 🙂
Great video! Loved seeing all the sights!
Haya. Wonderful seeing your journey. Thanku for sharing. x
Oh I love road trips! It looks like you had so much fun 🥰 Adding some of these destinations to my Australia travel list 💖
Also, the Big Banana! My son loves the TV show Bluey and when they take a road trip they stop by the “Big Peanut”. I couldn’t help but think of the show when I saw that 🥰
Wait.. You’re in Australia 🇦🇺 Oh wth sooo cool
Would love to send you some of our hot steamy summer weather, whew! I’m definitely an Autumn/Winter gal!!!🔥
What a fun road trip!! You two make a great team!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TRIP. FORGOT ITS YOUR WINTER. LOVE YOU GUYS. JOANNA CALIFORNIA
Very beautiful and forgot to mention, new subbie, your videos are awesome, very calming to watch, love it!!! ❤ me and my boyfriend can't wait to take a road trip. Also loving your vintage suitcase, hopefully I can find one of those, I love them, their unique comparared to today's suitcases.
this was so cute i loved watching this :)
I’m from Armidale! Pj Thai 10/10 place! 😂 and the Top Pub in Uralla has really good food, a really nice fire and atmosphere!!
Love your videos!
You looked so cute. I loved seeing the scenery there.
I didn’t realise it can get that cold over there, almost as bad as the UK haha! Glad you made it back safe and sound ❤️❤️❤️
I want to travel to Australia, it's so beautiful there. Maybe one day I will, fingers crossed!
Hello beautiful people. 🇬🇧 you are so English for Aussies. Your scenery is also beautiful like places in the UK. It’s weird to see minus wintery weather on my birthday July 10th of which Is the hottest month in the UK 🇬🇧
Love your vlogs. They are so professional. Lots of love ❤️ xx
i love your youtube videos is very relaxing to watch✨🌈
Beautiful journey
Sage you are the cutest! I loved this! It's funny we seem to be on the same wavelength with what we're making because I just put out a travel vlog too haha! I love it.
As a Canadian I find it rather adorable how cold you were in 0 degree weather :P
As a fellow Melburnian who was originally from Newcastle and has done the the trip to Byron and back countless times, it was so nice to see places that I haven't been to on the trip! Definitely going to stop at all these places next time💜
Yay another Melburnian! ❤️ Yeah, we really enjoyed doing this inland trip because it was so different from going along the coast road!
@@SageLilleyman The only places I've been to on there was dog on the tuckabox and Holbrook. Definitely want to check out the waterfalls and the Gold mining town next time they looked incredible!
