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.
Have been watching you guys from the start . Haven’t commented, but , keep going … getting so good filming and try to not feel too homesick. This is a once in a lifetime thing ! Getting an audience now . Will be here watching , that’s for certain.
Thanks so much for commenting Joanne! we absolutely love the community and what we are doing, comments like this push us even more so thank you so much :)
@@itsJackandMegan how is your holiday going jack and Megan I see you are driving a mini cooper one day i will come up to see you guys
We use to live in Townsville, one of our favourite places. Snorkelled at Alma Bay, loved the island. Hope you enjoyed your Darwin trip where we live now!
Hey guys! Magnetic island was so much fun!
And Darwin well that was just incredible. We had the best time! Thanks for watching 🙏👍😊
Magnetic Island is wonderful - so much to do, you guys just scratched the surface so hope you come back and have the opportunity to spend more time. Also Townsville has wonderful things to experience as well - and a short trip out to Charters Towers for a great Historic town and the outback - then of course not to mention Puluma just north of Townsville .yep so much on offer, so do come back ⭐️🙋🏻♀️
Different and great Ep guys. That seafood 🦞 dinner looked bloody scrumptious 😋. Luv following your travels, cheers 🥂 🍻

Thanks for watching Rob! Glad you enjoyed the different style! The seafood was to die for those little bug thingy are brilliant! Darwin was epic! Can’t wait to share the episode!
I spent just over a month living on magnetic island while doing plumbing and other Reno’s on my uncles house. It’s a beautiful part of the world.
Congratulations on Darwin. The cape is amazing and a dont miss but there is always next year.
Also being from WA I dont get thrilled by the sun going down over the ocean.

I live on magnetic island in horseshoe bay, and have been following you both and your adventures since the beginning. It is truly touching to me seeing you both visiting my home and loving the island as much as I do. Horseshoe bay is hands down the best place for sunset. I hope you both had the best time on the island
Hey Hanna, we absolutely loved it! wish we could stay forever. would have loved to have explored the whole island apparently there are cassowaries on the island is this correct? thanks for following along for so long so good to hear you have been along since the beginning!!
@@itsJackandMegan yes there are local cassowaries who live in the national park area! As well as the classic tropical North Queensland black chicken looking things, koalas, rock wallabies and many more!
Such incredible news! Congratulations to you both.
Super awesome job opportunity Megan, Congratulations. You guys will nail this!
Thanks so much!! We had the best time of our life we cannot wait to share it!
Love the timing of this video! I’m going to Magnetic on Thursday!! ☀️😆
Perfect!!! Anything you need to know please send over a message on Instagram 😊👍
What a beautiful little island. Thanks guys. ♥️
It really is! would love to live on the island for a while and really explore!
My partner and I stayed in Maggie Island during the school holidays. We stayed in the same AirBNB as you guys!! Such an amazing island.
Love watching your videos guys keep them coming..
Thanks John!! 👍😊
Fantastic video loved your lunch Fish meal enjoy your stay love the video
My heart sang when you announced your first tourism job in Darwin! So so so happy for you both! Have been a long time watcher and follower on IG. I was actually in Darwin at the same time, kept my eyes peeled but didn't cross paths - hope too one day!
It's ok Megan Mini's don't come with ejector seats so press the buttons and have fun 🤣😂 Thanks for another great video of your travels and adventures and taking us along.
Thanks for watching guuys! Megans sold on buying a mini one day now.
So happy for you guys with receiving the Darwin tourism job. You will smash it out the park. Have the beat time!!
Thanks so much Sherene we had an absolute ball in Darwin!!
Definitely looked like some nice beaches for a proposal Jacky boy! 🧐
I also thought the same thing hahah
Really enjoy your videos and liked this one the most. You guys are a natural at these.
Look forward to the next one!
Safe travels!
We were in Magnetic Island at the beginning of this week and we slept in the same Air BnB 😊. Definitely too windy to fly the drone when we were there, you guys got amazing footage!!
Congrats on the Darwin job!!🙌
Another great video. Exciting news about the Darwin job! BTW, I really like the editing that you do -- things like the little montages with the zippers add a lot to the story telling.
Thanks for bringing that up mate those little edits take a while to film sometimes glad you noticed them! Darwin was amazing can’t wait to share the episode!
@@itsJackandMegan hi jack and Megan how are you doing guys you should come to Ballarat special school farm campus cafe all day please come down here
@@itsJackandMegan how you are doing today I am in Darwin driving around we can catch up in Darwin if you wanted
@@HOLDEN921 hey mate unfortunately we’re back in Queensland now mate 😅
I have to come to Queensland to pick up my new ford ranger ute i am coming up in the morning leveling dawin in morning and I will come up to you guys and I being my girlfriend if that’s ok with you guys
Love watching your vlogs. Super awesome. Keep travelling and posting 👍☺️❤️💚
Boy Maggie, it's been a long time since I was there last. One day I will get back there. Apparently their is a good population of Death Adders of there, which when I do get over there, I hope to find. Have an awesome day!!
Awesome opportunity in Darwin for you both, well done!
Darwin was amazing we can't wait to share our episode up in the NT!
Megan & Jack thanks for the video 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! 😊
Always up for a piece of battered mackerel. Townsville has some of the best fish n chips in the country..even though I do live here 😉 glad you enjoyed yourselves.
The fish was soooo good mate! Might even get some fish n chips for dinner tonight now you have reminded me of it 😂😂
excellent video ! very interesting ! definitely one day would like to see this place !🏞️🛻😎🤙📹
you would have to start to stream live on UA-cam . 🎬📹 would definitely have some influence on your choices and decisions could be interesting to try out one time .
You guys have come a long way since the beginning of your travels. I think that the Darwin job is just the beginning of a great career for you. Hope you can still fit some travelling in between filming jobs. They are so much fun to watch!
Megan looks like a 'Rock Star' in that Mini!
Understand the Darwin decision, gotta take those opportunities when they pop-up.
Marty from Perth
Nice episode leeke seafood i am hungry now again a episode full of fun and energy greatings from South AFRICA
Seafood was amazing! we have to start catching it ourselves now!
I love watching you two exploring, keep doing what you do, thank you
Thanks so much for joining us every week Mandy!! :)
Looks like a good trip guys! Those wallabies are pretty bloody cute, have been watching your NT adventures on Insta, congratulations Megan -youve put heaps of effort into your editing and socials, you deserve the Tourism gigs!
Loved it you think two ❤️❤️
Jack you are a brave man. Megan can't see over the top of the steering wheel 🤣🤣🤣
Classic mate she and she needs those glasses to drive haha
My Magnetic island experience, probably 2003/4 was varied, on our way up north in a backpacker bus!
Would have been awesome to see it back in the day compared to now!
I think West Point Beach is a better beach to see a sunset in Magnetic Island. Congratulations on the photo job. Good luck with it all. 🤞
Thanks for watching mate! The Darwin trip was bloody awesome can’t wait to share the episode! We
Pretty Flash, i remember when all you could Hire there was Mini Mokes, Congrats on the Darwin Gig, i can see you Guys working in Tourism in the Future.
Loved the mini was a cracker car!!
Thanks mate so stoked to be able to work with the NT!!
@@itsJackandMegan Go visit Matt Wright while you're there, help him move some Crocodiles 👍
You guys bring a smile to my face every time I watch you.♡
Thanks so much Peter this is so nice to hear!
Pretty cool seeing platypus one week and koala's the next. I though possums had a scary growl but we were out in the bush and heard what sounded like a growling pig but it was koalas. If it was after dark it might scare the crap out of you. Great video!
Another great video, but I think it's now time you both did a scuba course, you'd love it !
Great suggestion! we have spoken about it a few times!
Hey guys I live in Townsville and I swore I saw you guys about a week ago around town must have been right haha love the content you guys are amazing
Hey how's it going!
That was probably us we did leave about a week ago, we didn't want to leave though! Thanks for following along.
Darwin sounds great , good time of year to be be going there too , not too hot :-) . At the harbour down at Stokes Hill Wharf they used to have a bungy jump setup , might be gone now , last I was there they were getting some trendy dining establishments at the end of the wharf , might be worth a look if time permits . 🙂
Hey Gordon,
Darwin was incredible we didn’t film much as we didn’t have the time but did manage do get a little episode together! We had the time of our life’s. Kakadu was incredible!
Congrats on the tourism job guys!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Thanks so much:) we can't wait to share the episode!
Love ❤ 😍 your content keep up the good work.
Hope to see you out there one day.
Cheers Tim and Trish ♥️
Thanks guys! Would be great to see you on the road also :)
You will enjoy it. With an open mind.
I feel so much safer when Megan is driving
😂😂
Another of my favourite parts of Qld
Paradise isn't it!
Hey, love the video as always.
Just a heads up, I heard police were charging people for no seatbelts in videos.
I thought I saw something in the outtakes.
Anyway can't wait till next video.
Oh crap that’s a good pick mate I think we were on a side street but that’s a good spot normally we are very good with our seatbelts!! We will start looking out for that. Thanks mate 😊
They will have to find them first...lol.
Also jack talked about mental health and online counseling please can you provide link I would really appreciate that thank you so very much for sharing your life’s and adventure
No worries mate here’s the link 👍 betterhelp.com/jackandmegan
Thank you so very much have a son named jack thanks again
Always good to plan but spontaneous is good sometimes too! Have you guys been to Norfolk Island?
Hi Guys have fun
Cheers James!
Great ep as always my wonderful husband of 37 years unlocks my door and holds it open for me to enter & exit the car now thats true love 💙💙💙💙💙 he is an absolute gentleman
Absolutely love this Kerri!!
awesome
Thanks William!
I was there in 2000, i remember there was a tall building, a sky scraper next to a beach that had a village, but i can't find it anymore, what happened to me or do i live in a parallel universe?
When my partner manually opens my side of the door If I am on the ball I get brownie points if I reach over and beat him to unlock his driver’s side .. yes theres no time to be complacent in the ‘old’ troopy🤭
How did the Banana in the back pack work out? Lol. I did that once......
Yep we definitely should have thought that one out a bit more haha.
You guys must have won lotto
Cost us $190 each to visit the island and do everything that we did, probably won’t do anything like that until Fraser Island now. Time to save up again 😅 Thanks for watching 🙏👍😊
Is it bad that i literally leave an awesome beach campsite to drive a couple of hours to find signal so i can watch the newest Video ....
Love this!! Thanks so much 😂😂 now a 2 hour drive back to the beach haha.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching mate :)
I spent 6 months on Maggie Island ❤
OMG the memories....
❤❤❤❤
Such a beautiful place!
Megan,
I have to put you on notice my lovely…….if you ever trade Troopy in for a bloody mini, 🤦♂️
I will probably stop talking to you 😂. Jack, dude, time to have a chat to you wife…..de-facto wife…….girlfriend…….fiancé ? Partner in crime perhaps? 😬 I’ve probably opened up a can of worms here 👀
Btw, a group of Wallabies is known as a “Mob” or “Troupe” of Wallabies……I think the Pommies also came up with “Court” of Wallabies but that sounds shit.
Sell the Troopy, for a bloody mini ……sheeesh 😭😭😭 Great episode guys, very pretty there ❤️
Don’t worry mate I talked it out of her 😂😂 no way we are trading the Troopy it’s to bloody good hahaha
@@itsJackandMegan Minis have their place in this world, for example; throw a mini in a deep bog and use it for traction under the Mickey Thompson’s 😂
Great episodes guys 🤙🏼
Yes kisses are Nice well Done
Congrats on the Darwin job! So jealous! If yr leaving the Troopy in Townsville and heading north again when you come back have a think about the Thorsborne Trail on Hinchinbrook Island. Yr dropped off by boat, its a 3 day walk, and they pick you up at the other end. Just a thought. Keep up all the great work. It's inspirational! 😊
Thanks so much Darwin was incredible! We can’t believe it all happened still in a high now 😂
We did look into Hinchinbrook but went with magnetic island. Wishing we did both now 😅😅 we have started to head south now so maybe next time! Thanks again 🙏👍😊
@@itsJackandMegan yes, that's a shame but l'll be watching out for that so please don't forget 😊 Magnetic is great too but a lot more populated.
My dad lived in Darwin (huge Greek population) but l'm in Melbourne. Spent lots of time in FNQ as well though (my 27yo brother died in the rainforest near Palm Cove). Just love yr vids. Mostly bring back terrific memories and inspire me to go back.
@@travelgirl747 was very populated for sure!
Funny you say the Greek population is big up in Darwin our tour guid for the job was Greek haha Megan is also Greek to! Sorry to here about your brother. we will be back to FNQ for the rest of our life’s probably end up retiring in the area who knows! Thanks again 😊🙏🙏
@@itsJackandMegan oh! That's freaky 😃 My dad was from Kos Island and l think half of Darwin is from Kalymnos island.
My brother passed in September 1995 in the rainforest behind Ellis Beach. Was in the papers but of course, not the internet back then, and thank you, much appreciated. Its a long sad story.
Soon l'm planning to camp my way up the coast and finish writing my book. I'll look out for the Troopy!
Glad you love FNQ as much as l do. There's something quite special about it (except for the spiders!) 😊
I think Megan is in love and it's not you Jack.
