#1 – Caravanning With Kids

Wayne & Adele started what has become one of the most popular travel blogs in Australia – Caravanning With Kids.

Packed full of recipes, gear reviews, home schooling tips, and even a regular e-magazine, this blog is heavily focussed on how to travel as a family with young kids.

They even sell a number of their own products, including a pegless clothesline! I highly recommend that you check out Caravanning With Kids and the useful resources within.

#2 – Lost and Loving It

Lost and Loving It is another highly popular blog created by Noela and Joe. They have been travelling as a family since 2013, and decided in 2017 that they would continue travelling full time without returning home!

Their blog has steadily grown over time, and is now packed with resources on how to save money for your trip, how to do home schooling for young kids, as well as how to change your mindset on taking risks (like leaving your job to go travelling with kids!).

They encourage you to be ‘lost and loving it’! Read more: Lost and Loving It

#3 – Trip In A Van

Trip In A Van (or TIAV for short) started when Justin and Bec decided to hit the road with their 3 young kids over 5 years ago! In addition to writing about their travels, they have filled their blog with useful spreadsheets and books to help other travellers budget for their own trips!

There’s also gear reviews, destination & itinerary lists as well as advice on travelling with kids and dogs. They also have a thriving YouTube channel that has plenty of interesting videos.

All in all, this is a very useful resource for anyone considering a lap around Australia of their own!  Read more over at Trip In A Van!

#4 – The Blonde Nomads

Rob and Tracy, along with their 2 kids, Marli and Ziggy, make up The Blonde Nomads. On the road since 2017, they like taking their time when travelling, enjoying the journey as much as the destination.

They’ve been featured on a number of magazine covers as well as the Channel 9 Today Show. Their site includes a number of products reviews as well as exclusive discounts for their readers.

#5 – Big Family Little Income

A blog all about the Devereaux family, this site includes more than just info about caravanning and doing a big lap around Oz – although that was a big focus of their site in the earlier years.

Rather than useful guides and calculators, this blog offers an unfiltered insight into what it is like to do a big lap as a large family!

Read all about the ups and downs that come with long term family travel over at Big Family Little Income.

#6 – Travelling Australia With Kids

After doing her own big lap with her family in 2017 but finding limited information about destination and gear (other than the commercial spiels from the proprietors themselves) she decided to set up TAWK – a blog dedicated to providing fellow travellers with real information about what it’s like to do a lap of this big country!

There’s plenty of information and downloadables on budgeting and home schooling, but there’s also some excellent content on choosing the best caravan for you and your family.

The blog serves to track their progress on their way to hitting the big 50, as well as providing fellow travellers with an honest glimpse into what life is like on the road.

Their ‘Income On The Road’ webinar is very popular and one of their main contributions to the Australian caravanning and camping community. See more on Galways Go Round.

#9 – A Big Peachey Adventure

A blog started by Natalie and Michael to fill a void that they saw in terms of information about long term caravanning with children, A Big Peachey Adventure has rapidly become one of the most popular caravanning blogs in Australia!

#12 – Dirty Drifters

Adam and Tahnee are the two dirty drifters – a couple from WA who are set on travelling all around Australia. Rather than many of the other overland travel blogs which focus on family travel and caravans, the Dirty Drifters are childless and camp in their rooftop tent!

This makes them appeal to those would-be travellers who are without kids and are wondering how to best go about doing a lap of Australia.
