In this episode of the Travelling Australia Podcast, we chat with Emma and Jarred from Six Wheel Wanderers, an Aussie family exploring the country full-time in their one-of-a-kind 6-wheel Isuzu DMAX and 23ft JB Caravan Scorpion Sting Air.
From outback dirt tracks to stunning coastal campsites, they share what it’s really like to pack up your life, hit the road, and embrace full-time caravan life with kids. We talk about the reality of off-grid living, how they juggle homeschooling on the road, and why you don’t need everything to be perfect to start your own adventure.
Whether you're planning your Big Lap of Australia, curious about 6-wheel conversions, or just love hearing real stories from Aussie travellers, this episode is full of practical insights, epic travel tales, and honest advice for anyone dreaming of life on the road.
