Travel Australia Podcast by The Feel Good Family
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!

Welcome to the Travel Australia podcast. We are Paul, Katie and Jasper from the Feel Good family. Join us as we explore this great country, Australia, its people, places and cultures.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's the Travel Australia podcast where we share the latest in RV industry news road trip travel, caravanning and camping, product reviews, where to go, what to do and so much more.
Speaker 1:Thanks for joining us this week we farewell the trusty 79. We stay at the hidden gem on the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It's a Christmas tree farm and Katie talks all things caravan theft. Are you covered?
Speaker 2:A jam-packed episode again this week, paulie, and you know a bit of a bittersweet starting saying goodbye to our beautiful 79. I mean, I don't know, it can't just be us. You know, you bring a vehicle into your household. It becomes a part of your family, doesn't it?
Speaker 1:You bring it into the world. Katie, look, almost three years behind the wheel of our trusted, tried and true Toyota Land Cruiser. Can't get enough of it. But honestly, comfort, automatic, yeah, just a different way of touring for us as little Jasperoonies growing into a young man and we're getting greyer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, speak for yourself. I think One of us is anyway. But no, you are right, it's definitely time for a change. It has been an incredible touring vehicle, though I mean this time, three years ago, we were pinching ourselves that we were upgrading into this 79 series, you know from our trusty Hilux, which we thought was absolutely fabulous when we first kicked off. And now to think that we're upgrading again is super exciting. But didn't the 79 change the way that we travelled around this country?
Speaker 1:Look, it came almost in sync with the Zone RV and those two in combination absolute dream setup for us. You know, particularly the Zone RV was up there on our vision board. You know, all those years ago, katie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when you first had the crazy idea to travel Australia.
Speaker 1:Correct. And so to have lived the dream with those combination of vehicles the last almost three years, yeah, total dream. And that's the question like, why the hell would you change what's working guys?
Speaker 2:That is a very good question, but as you mentioned, paulie, we're after a little bit of comfort in our more mature years.
Speaker 1:My knees are going to love me. Yes, I got a real good compliment this week.
Speaker 2:Oh, digital, not from me, no.
Speaker 1:Unfortunately, that's actually true. I yearned for it, but it doesn't come. But I did have one of the guys at McCormack's four-wheel drive who are doing the new build on the new vehicle that will be revealed next week. Or, if you want a sneak peek, go to the YouTube channel, the Feel Good Family and you'll see exactly what's going on there and he said to me when are you turning 40, mate?
Speaker 2:Oh bless him. Did you hug him and say you're a keeper?
Speaker 1:I didn't because it was a work shed. It's a quick way to get you know, turfed out, yeah, a boy amongst men in those places. I tell you what. I don't have a clue, but amazing group of guys there and what they're doing and, yes, obviously very generous with their compliments. So thank you.
Speaker 2:Yes, I'm intrigued to know what your answer to this amazing question was.
Speaker 1:I said oh, thank you, mate. Yes, almost 12 years ago. He's like no, get out. I'm like thank you, mate. Righto, it's my mum's cooking when I was growing up and now Katie's cooking as I'm getting well over the hill. All right, now we're not here to talk about my age or compliments, but we are here to talk about our fantastic hip camp that we just stayed at.
Speaker 2:Oh yes. Now talk about unique and look, I want to say we have stayed in plenty of hip camps since they first, you know, sort of launched here in Australia. They're hip, they are you can camp there, love it.
Speaker 2:Great name and look. Something that, you know, always amazes me is that, even when you're searching in a particular region, you may not ever be across all of the properties that are available, and that just seems to be the way that these apps it's not just HipCamp, it's Airbnb and other places like this work as well. They sort of serve you up a you know here. Look at these ones, and then all of a sudden one day, when you're in there and you're scrolling and you're looking for the perfect campsite, boom up, pops, one that you've never seen before, and you think, oh geez, this must be a new listing. And then you trawl back through you know 500 reviews and you realize it's been there all the time.
Speaker 1:Now just a question, because I'm getting confused with this, but Wikicamps our favorite app, I mean that's that for knowing where you're going Does it have HipCamps on the Wikicamps app as well?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it can Not all. It doesn't bring them all over from HipCamp into Wikicamps. I believe it's up to the property owners as to whether they list their property as a HipCamp property on Wikicamps. We've certainly found many HipCamps through the Wikicamps app, but not all. I believe Some of them are just exclusive to hip camp. Well, this little gem was one that just popped up at the perfect time. Don't you love that? It was like the camping gods were smiling down on us. We needed somewhere to stay, and that was North Brisbane, but also extremely close to the Sunshine Coast, and this property is in Beer.
Speaker 1:Burrum, it's the best of both worlds when you put it like that. It's kind of even Stevens in either direction, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it really is Just off.
Speaker 1:Steve Irwin Way.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:One of your old besties.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely, in fact, a little bit of trivia from a past life. I was actually involved in the renaming of Steve Irwin Way it wasn't always called Steve Irwin Way that particular road that cuts through off the Bruce Highway and takes you through Beerburram, glasshouse, beerwah, landsborough, maloola, and then back out to the Bruce Highway there, where the old Etamoga Pub, which is now called something random like the Banana Bender, how was he?
Speaker 1:It is called that Katie. Look back to Steve-O, though. Yeah, I tell you what, kate you barely drink alcohol.
Speaker 2:Barely.
Speaker 1:You've got some incredible Steve Irwin stories of your time spent with him over, I think, almost six years, yeah, and of course how we met was at Australia Zoo. But if you can get Katie into a second glass of wine, she'll tell you all the secrets Around the fire. That's the time to get her.
Speaker 2:Oh awesome, she opens up.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. She opens up.
Speaker 2:The secrets are people.
Speaker 1:All right, now Beer Burram the location. Red Sour people. All right, Now Beer Burrum, the location. What is the name of this hip?
Speaker 2:camp. Okay, the name of the hip camp is Country Mountain Farms Day.
Speaker 1:Great.
Speaker 2:And it is also known as the Sunshine Coast Christmas Tree Farm.
Speaker 1:I love this. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
Speaker 2:Oh look, we were so excited and it is literally just off Steve Irwin Way there in Beer Burrum. And what makes this? Well, there's a few things, I think, that make this location so spectacular, but the thing that stands out quite literally is the epic views of Mount Tibragagan, better known as the most famous glass house mountain here in this particular region on the Sunshine Coast. It is just incredible, and where you park up your caravan or your motorhome just looks out across lush green grass and beautiful little Christmas trees that are just doing what Christmas trees do at this time of year grow.
Speaker 1:We're talking. Over 3,000 trees are currently in harvest.
Speaker 2:Yeah, incredible. So it is private property. It is owned by Errol and Kay, two of the loveliest Hip Camp hosts. You will meet Super welcoming Talk about hard workers. You know, we were there for quite a few days and they were out there tending to those trees every single day, even on the weekend, and the property is just stunning. It's very simple. You do need to be fully self-contained. There are no facilities here. There are no power or water hookups here, no bathroom shower facilities. So, bearing that in mind, if you love a good off-grid hip camp, but you also love feeling like you're safe and secure, but peaceful I mean, the only noise that we heard off in the distance was the occasional train, as the train line runs all the way from Brisbane right through up the Queensland coast, to be honest, but you can hear that off in the distance.
Speaker 1:I love that sound.
Speaker 2:It was awesome. Jasper loved that sound as well. Apart from that, I think the loudest noise we heard were the birds and Jasper and Jasper and Errol and Kay's puppy dog, who loves to come over and have a good scratch.
Speaker 1:And we were the only ones there. I mean, you could not get further down the spectrum of differences between last week's oh, my goodness, where we came from Sandstone. Point experience and the Christmas tree farm experience. We absolutely love this. Now, as I mentioned, over 3,000 trees, they do start selling them from the very 1st of November, mm-hmm, and that will be a five-foot tree for roughly $130.
Speaker 2:Right. Now every foot that that Gee, that's good value, isn't it?
Speaker 1:When you look at the amount of work that these people put into creating the Christmas tree, and the spirit of Christmas and the magic of it all. $130 for a five-foot tree amazing. We could maybe get that into our caravan.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm just over five foot now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we'd be right. Every foot after that is about $20 per foot, and this year, for the first time, they believe they'll be able to harvest eight foot trees. How cool, first in best dressed. Yes best decorated, yes, and first in, first served, and it is really a farm gate. It's direct to your boot. Okay, so you have to just rock up. They cut off on December 20 or if sold out, which happens regularly.
Speaker 2:And you get to choose. You get to actually rock up and choose the particular tree that you want and they cut it for you.
Speaker 1:I think this is such an awesome experience and a great lesson for your kids as well, to see really what you know is a truly natural experience of a Christmas tree opposed to one from Kmart for 69 bucks that ends up at landfill.
Speaker 2:Look, I have to tell you, when I was a kid, we had a real Christmas tree every year up until I was about eight or nine. And the one thing that sticks out in my mind of that time of year and even now fast forward too many years that memory have you had your 40th. Katie. Oh, I love you, dom, I love you. Let's just say no. Everybody who listens know that I had my 40th because we went to Tassie, remember, and got the flat tyre on the way down All those years ago.
Speaker 2:All those, yes, all those long years ago, but the memory. You know, what's so amazing about our sense of smell is that I'm not going to get all technical now and how it works but it connects to a part of our brain that is our memory bank. And so smell is such a powerful tool for us because it can instantly bring back a memory and transport you there. And so even now, you know, all of these years later, if I have that smell of that real Christmas tree, it transports me back to being a kid growing up, and every year. Now let's just say my dad wouldn't go to the Christmas farm tree and get a Christmas tree from there.
Speaker 1:No, let's just say he was friends with someone in the state forestry.
Speaker 2:Oh look, it was a sleepy little hinterland town when I was growing up out there I won't name which one and we just used to go for a little drive and come home with a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1:He knows who's being naughty or not. Gail, it was amazing. That aroma just fills the entire house with that real Christmas tree and that's probably why there's such a magic around this, because music is the other connector to memory for me. And then you chuck in a beautiful alpine smell of a Christmas tree Boom.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just awesome. So really really cool and a really different farm gate experience for us and a really different camping experience as well.
Speaker 1:and a really different farm gate experience for us and a really different camping experience as well, and again to be the only ones there and have 250 metres of manicured plush green lawn.
Speaker 2:I think that was the squishiest greenest, most unbelievable green grass we've ever camped on. We should say there are only two sites here. They only allow two, I guess, groups of campers at any one time and we were very fortunate, as you mentioned, paul, to have the whole place to ourselves.
Speaker 1:Which, come on, I mean at $30? I think it's $35 a night. You know they're not exactly, you know banking any money Like honestly to allow people into your private space like this, for you know, a low cost but high value experience is crazy to me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what's amazing is that this farm used to be a passion fruit farm back in the day when Errol and Kay bought this place and they worked it as a passion fruit farm for a very long time and Errol was telling us all the stories and how hard it is. It's hard work harvesting passion fruits.
Speaker 1:Well, they ran the passion fruit farm for 20 years and they stopped that about three years ago and moved to Christmas trees, which is still labor intense, but a lot easier on their backs.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:And yeah, crazy to think that you know we met all that time ago as well in this same area.
Speaker 2:Mm.
Speaker 1:Just there at Australia Zoo. So amazing people and they have got maybe I don't know about 10 rows of passion fruit still with different species and varieties.
Speaker 2:Yes and oh, errol brought some over for us. Oh, my word, that is seriously. That is like you know. If you picture the gods all up there, you know having their breakfast. That's what they're eating passion fruit.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. It is God's fruit.
Speaker 2:Yep it was sensational, so definitely worth a stay. You can find it on Hip Camp. It is Country Mountain View Farmstay. I think I got that right. We'll pop the link in the description.
Speaker 1:I think you got that Farmstay. I think I got that right. We'll pop the link in the description. I think you got there Now. One last thing to say on the Christmas trees is that if, like us, you are travelling in a van or you don't have the space at home, but you still want this experience of a Christmas tree, they do potted trees that are a lot smaller, a lot more manageable and, yeah, you can pick yourself up one of those.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so good. Definitely worth going out and having that experience.
Speaker 1:We'll make sure that the address, the location, is there in the show notes so that you can. If you're in that region. It'd be worth a two or three hour drive to get one of these, I reckon.
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely, and particularly if you are looking for somewhere to stay. The Brisbane area, north Brisbane, notorious for not having an array of great campsites, caravan parks for you to be able to stay in, so to find a little gem like this, what are we doing? Telling everybody about?
Speaker 1:Look, there's only two spots, so it's probably just going to book out. Now we are going to have a bit of a chat in our RV news segment on caravan theft, Hot topic at the moment but right now a little word from this episode's sponsor. This week's podcast is brought to you by Nakey, home of the world's first 100% recycled hammock, made from 37 plastic post-consumer water bottles and weighing less than one kilo. Nakey products will not only make you feel good see what I did there but they make the environment feel good too.
Speaker 2:Love it, Nakey. Relax wherever you go. Seriously, what are you waiting for? We love the Nakey products so much. We have so many of the Nakey products and they are all awesome. Look, if you want to get your hands on some Nakey products, jump on over to our website and take advantage of the awesome 15% Feel Good discount code that our good friends at Nakey have provided for our awesome Feel Good family audience.
Speaker 1:Love it. Okay, let's get on to the RV news, Katie, and this one really new news, Paul.
Speaker 2:I mean, it's certainly something that is probably a lot more common than most of us would like to admit.
Speaker 1:I think too. You know, you look at social media and you'll have a bad story like a caravan theft or a lithium battery fire caused by you know, one of those e-scooters or something. And it just explodes across what is really, in the global scale, a pretty small market here in.
Speaker 1:Australia. So I think the attention is just magnified because of social media. It probably hasn't increased all that much, although you know it's a sliding scale, isn't it? As there's more campers and there's more people out there, then I guess it's just a percentage of that total amount. You know 860 000 registered rvs here in australia now yeah, well, look, I think it's fair to say.
Speaker 2:I mean, unfortunately, theft is a part of daily life, no matter whether you're living in four walls or you know you're travelling down the road with your home on wheels. It is unfortunately just something that happens, I think. As far as caravan and camping industry goes, though, it seems to be in particular in more remote or free camping areas, where security can be quite minimal. So we just wanted to go through, I guess, a couple of points from doing a lot of reading and research on things that you can do to really, I guess, protect your rig and your camping gear and also have a bit of a backup plan as well, just in case things do go wrong.
Speaker 2:And the first thing we would say is to lock your caravan hitch. If you are towing a caravan, a big rig like we are, or a little rig, it doesn't matter Most caravan thefts are quick and opportunistic and they're looking for an easy win, and, in all honesty, it doesn't take that long for somebody to back up, hitch up and drive away with your rig if you don't have it properly secured. So we would say use a hitch lock to actually physically lock the coupling. We use a Cruise Master one. It is the neatest little piece of kit, isn't it? It is so clever, paul.
Speaker 1:It is, and I don't know. It would be near impossible to get this thing out because it's a lock pin inside the actual hitch barrel, so it's not like you can cut it. I don't know, you'd have a hell of a time trying to cut it off, and I guess that's the thing it's really, deterring these opportunistic thieves.
Speaker 2:Well, that's right. I think like they're not there, spending all of this time, you know, like trying to crack a safe or anything. They they're not there spending all of this time, you know, like trying to crack a safe or anything. They're there for a quick, easy win. So making things as hard as possible is a deterrent in itself.
Speaker 1:I tell you what. Some people out there in Western Queensland had their vehicle keys stolen.
Speaker 2:Oh, yes, I remember.
Speaker 1:Now this is in a caravan park.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And so they thought, well, we'll hitch up, and that way we'll have a little bit more security around not having our vehicle stolen.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And you will not believe it. They still took off. The whole family was in the van, stabilizers were down. Crazy, it's mental. They didn't get very far, only a kilometer up the road and then they ran off.
Speaker 2:But I was going to say you could imagine the absolute raucous that that would have caused.
Speaker 1:Oh, the fear for that family too yeah pretty, that's an unusual one, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Pretty crazy that one. Look, if you're parked up somewhere for a long time, you could install a wheel clamp as an added deterrent. And we actually have in our zone RV a Y-tie security system installed and we would say, you know, for the minimal outlay for something like this, for that peace of mind. It can not only lock your van electronically, it also can trigger alerts and immobilization features if any movement is detected when you're not in or around your van.
Speaker 1:What an incredibly inexpensive piece of kit. You know. I mean we're talking like $500, $600 to really secure your asset and you know your lifestyle, if you like.
Speaker 2:Oh, total peace of mind, paulie. Okay, number two, let's talk about your camping gear. This probably is the biggest thing you know. These are easy grabs, easy wins for opportunistic thieves, and we've all done it. We've left. You've left the barbecue out overnight, or the kids' bikes. We've all heard of a mate's mate who's been traveling and had the bike stolen off the front of the van. Using cable locks is a great idea to secure things like solar panels or your barbecues or even your bikes for extra security. Always, always, store your valuables inside your van or your vehicle, especially overnight. Don't leave things out laying around as a oh, that looks like an easy grab.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my dad used to always say sometimes you really just want to deter the honest people.
Speaker 2:Well, look, if you see somebody's wallet and keys just laying around, you know tempting for some. Look, if you are parked up in one particular place for a longer period of time, you could even install things like motion sensor lights or cameras around your setup, because even just a light coming on in the middle of the night is enough to deter some people. Great advice. And look, it doesn't just happen in these remote places either. It can happen in busy campgrounds. I mean everywhere we go we see the signs in the campgrounds. In the remote places either. It can happen in busy campgrounds. I mean everywhere we go. We see the signs in the campgrounds, in the camp kitchens. They give them to you at reception. It says thieves go on holidays too people. So just have your wits about you.
Speaker 1:Exactly, and the most stuff that we ever saw stolen at a caravan location was actually in a caravan park on the Gold Coast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely. Look. A rule that we put in place from day one was that we lock our caravan door anytime we leave it. Now that could be going to have a chat with the neighbours who are in the next side over hanging the washing on the other side of the van. If you can't see your caravan door, we would say to you lock it. That way you know you're not going to run into these issues. Good habit, okay. The third point we would say is track your van with a GPS. Now, our YTAI system has the GPS tracking included in that, which is just brilliant. But you can also get little GPS trackers that you can place, you know, inside your tow vehicle or inside your caravan, because if the worst does happen, then you've got a way to be able to track it and find it quicker.
Speaker 1:Incredible piece of kit. Did I say that already? Yeah, absolutely. We don't work with a witty Y-Tie, but great piece of kit.
Speaker 2:It is, and look the Zone. Rv vans come with the Y-Tie installed, which I think is just an awesome thought process from the manufacturer to include something like that. When you're investing a lot of money into a high price, luxurious piece of kit, you want that peace of mind from the get-go.
Speaker 1:Cheap insurance.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely. And talking about insurance, get the right insurance because even with all the right locks and lights and gadgets and things to secure your stuff, sometimes theft can and does happen and that's where you really want good insurance. We are insured with Club 4x4. They have many great products on offer and that just gives us the peace of mind that we can cover our camping gear as well as our vehicles.
Speaker 1:Now look, we're certainly not insurance experts. We can only tell you who we're insured with and that we know and trust this product as the best on the market. So do your own research. That's who we use.
Speaker 2:Absolutely so. As a final thought, we would say lock it, track it and insure it.
Speaker 1:Love it.
Speaker 2:So that when you are heading off on these epic adventures, you know you're chasing the freedom, not the fear, and you've got that peace of mind that your rigs and your gear are going to be safe.
Speaker 1:So good. I just think there's so many valuable little nuggets in there. And, like anything in life, the things that are easy to do are also easy not to do. So, you know it's low cost, easy to do. Set of ideas there, tick them off, she'll be right mate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, look, absolutely, I would say. If there was only one thing that you were going to do if you're towing a caravan around Australia is get a hitch lock, because that is just such a great deterrent.
Speaker 1:And the white eye.
Speaker 2:Yeah, true around Australia is get a hitch lock, because that is just such a great deterrent.
Speaker 1:And the white eye? Yeah, true, I mean.
Speaker 2:Okay, if there was only two things that you were going to do Exactly. Or if there was three things yeah, get yourself insured as well.
Speaker 1:So pretty well all your points.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Okay, good, that's probably why you made them. Yeah, Now okay. This week Exactly Okay, good, that's probably why you made them. Yeah, Now okay. This week's takeaway we're just talking about adventure, but I love this Adventure. Doesn't wait, neither should you.
Speaker 2:It's so true. It's so true. And time and time again, we have met plenty of people, you know, on the road or in these towns that we travel through, who have said to us oh, the only regret that we have is that we didn't do this sooner, or we didn't do it with our kids, we waited for this, or now, time, you know, has passed us by and we just we can't travel the way that we thought we could. Get out there, just get out there.
