ExploreOz Allan and Jess on sail boat in Darwin Harbour

"Live the life you love"

Hi, we’re Allan and Jess, and we’re traveling full-time around Australia in our 2019 Mitsubishi Triton and 2006 Goldstream caravan. What began as a road trip in May 2021 has blossomed into a three-year (and counting) journey across the rugged outback and serene coastal shores of this beautiful country.

Our mission? To Explore, Share, and Educate while fully enjoying life on the road. We’re committed to being open and transparent about everything we do, and we’re always happy to help fellow travelers. We aim to inspire others to embrace their own adventures, sharing stunning landscapes and unique experiences along the way.

Got questions or need travel advice? Reach out anytime—we’re here for you!

“There is something magical about the way a sunset can make us feel at peace, grateful and alive all at once.”
- Morgan Harper Nichols

Happy Friday everyone! 🤗
It’s a public holiday long weekend for most of Australia, so let’s celebrate by sharing some adventure! Let us know where you’re at and what makes it awesome! 🌏

If someone posts a spot you’ve been to, jump in with your thoughts, let’s inspire each other with epic bucket list ideas! 😁

We’re finishing up a house sit this weekend in Carnarvon, but yesterday we explored around the incredible Cactus farm on the fruit loops scenic trail (find it on @wikicamps ).
Can’t wait to see where everyone else is and what you’re up to! 🙌

🚨 Solar panel SOS! 🚨 Our faithful Kings solar panel has finally waved goodbye after four rough years! 😩
We’re on the hunt for something compact and lightweight for our caravan—and that can give our Triton a boost too! ⚡️
What’s your go-to? Hit us with your best recommendations! 🙌✨

We want to answer any questions you have 👌🏻👍🏻

It’s the most expensive part about travel, but we try not to think about it 😂

Probably one of our favourite things about being on the road, we can wake up somewhere different everyday 😍

Have you ever been somewhere that has been so hyped up that it just didn’t hit the mark?
Spa Pool in Hamersley Gorge Karijini National Park was exactly that for us. We know that’s going to be an unpopular opinion…HOWEVER, there is so much more in the gorge to experience.
Instead of heading straight to the “tourist destination” Spa Pool, enjoy a float downstream through the stunning rock formations and immerse yourself in the feeling of drifting back through time.
But that’s just our thoughts 😉

Pretty hard to beat watching a sunset change the colours of the cliffs when you’re out bush 😍

📍Temple Gorge Campground, Kennedy Range National Park

Honeycomb gorge is a short 600m return walk in the Kennedy Range National Park. The walk takes you along the riverbed, over boulders and is incredible in itself.
The honeycomb walls of the natural amphitheater at the end are created by wind and water spray from the seasonal waterfall and water pool.

Expectation vs reality 😂

But let’s be honest, it doesn’t get much better than having a couple quiet drinks around the fire at night 🔥

First night back on the road, and what a free camp this was 😍
Half way between Carnarvon and Gascoyne junction is where you’ll find this place.
Stay tuned though, because you won’t want to miss the reason we are out this way!

📍Inggarda (on wikicamps)

What a way to start the day 😍

📍Shelter Bay Campground

💥NEW YOUTUBE IS LIVE💥

Join us as we leave the comfort of Shelter Bay campground to explore Edel Land National Park on an adventurous day trip. Our destination: Steep Point, the most westerly point of mainland Australia.

Experience the rugged limestone terrain and marvel at the giant waves of the deep blue Indian Ocean crashing against the stunning white Zuytdorp Cliffs.

After returning to camp, we switch from a beach front site to a more secluded spot and show you our “back to basics” setup.

A rainy last day dampened our spirits slightly, but with Useless Loop Road closed due to the rain, the possibility of an extra night in paradise didn’t seem too bad.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy our journey!

💥SUNDAY MORNINGS ARE FOR YOUTUBE 💥

That’s right, we are ditching the luxury of our caravan, heading off grid and going back to basics!

Come with us as we make the bumpy, sandy and corrugated 3 hour journey out to Shelter Bay in Edel Land National Park right near Steep Point, the most western point of mainland Australia

Little did we know our campsite was going to be right on the beach.

We spend a couple of days enjoying our beach camp fishing, snorkelling, stand-up paddle boarding and enjoying the diverse marine life around us, including dolphins, manta rays and sharks.

Each month we donate 10% of our YouTube add revenue to a charity of our choosing so we appreciate you watching the ads. If anyone has a specific charity in mind or that is close to their hearts, let us know down below in the comments and we will look into it in the future. Thank you and enjoy this weeks episode.

Sit back and enjoy part 1 of our 2 part series.

Within 30 minutes of being at Shelter Bay Campground we were lucky enough to spot some dolphins and an absolutely stunning Manta Ray 😍

📍Shelter Bay Campground, Edal Land National Park

Can’t complain when your closest neighbours are over 200m away 🥰

📍Shelter Bay Campground (Site Kels 1).
#bluetobluetti #bluettieofy

Going back to basics and travelling without the caravan was exactly what we needed 🥰
📍Shelter Bay Campground, Edal Land National Park.

This would be our favourite out of the four corners of Australia, and the journey here makes it even more special 🥰

📍Steep Point (Most western point of mainland Australia)

🔗link in bio🔗
Big Lagoon Campground is a “first in, best dressed” campground that you have no promise of getting a site. Problem is, you have to take your caravan down 16kms of dirt, sand, and mud to get there. Lucky enough we snagged a site, and we were so glad we did!
This is one of our favourite campgrounds ever!

#bluettieofy

Stretching over 100m up into the air, these two skywalks are not for the scared of heights 😨. If you do overcome the fear, the views over the Murchison River and into the distance certainly make it worthwhile.
If you’re in the @kalbarriwa area, make sure to stop in and have a look around. Our pick would be sunrise 🌅 , but rumour has it that sunset is just as incredible 😍
📍Kalbarri Skywalk

As much as we love travelling around Australia by ourselves we are always up for a fire with good friends and a couple of cheeky drinks, and what better place to do that than @murchisonhousestation.
Cheers @artzone_travels, we have no doubt that we will bump into you again somewhere out there 🙌

Did you happen to catch our latest YouTube episode?
🛻Four wheel driving at Murchison House Station and Kalbarri National Park😍
https://youtu.be/N3fWTipmyEQ
We absolutely love station stays and Murchison House Station is no exception. We catch-up with the incredible @artzone_travels ⁠ who we are lucky enough to call our friends. Together we explore around the station on their four-wheel drive tracks before settling in for drinks around the fire.

We also head out and explore Kalbarri Natinal Park taking in a stunning sunrise at the Skywalk before attempting what we feel is one of the best hikes around, Z Bend.

Each month we donate 10% of our YouTube add revenue to a charity of our choosing. If anyone has a specific charity in mind or that is close to their hearts, let us know down below in the comments and we will look into it in the future. Thank you and enjoy this weeks episode.

Where is the weekend taking you? Are you heading away exploring or having a quiet one at home?

We are going to be heading off grid for the next four nights and absolutely cannot wait! No reception, no electricity, no water and NO CARAVAN! To say we are excited is an understatement 🥰
