Send us Fan Mail This week on the Travel Australia Podcast, we’re bringing you the ultimate hidden gem for off-grid camping lovers—a new Hipcamp tucked away in the stunning Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Imagine parking up among 3,000 Christmas trees, relaxing on lush green grass, and soaking in panoramic views of the Glasshouse Mountains… with only one other campsite nearby! We share our full review of this magical spot and why it should be high on your must-visit list. Plus, we tackle a s...

G’day from the road. Travel Australia Podcast by The Feel Good Family is the sound of our family’s life, a long-term adventure shared by Paul and Katie Guerin. It picks up after we left our corporate jobs and a challenging four-year IVF journey, trading a conventional setup for a Toyota Landcruiser and an off-road caravan. For over five years now, we’ve called the entire continent home, from the Gold Coast out to the dusty red centre and everywhere in between. This isn't a glossy travel guide; it’s the real, often messy, and wonderfully rewarding experience of full-time family travel on Australian roads. You’ll hear us navigating remote tracks, debating the merits of free camps versus caravan parks, and figuring out schooling for our son Jasper under a gum tree. We chat about the practicalities of life on the move, the incredible characters we meet in tiny outback towns, and the quiet moments that make this lifestyle so special. Each episode of this podcast feels like a yarn with mates around a campfire, covering everything from the profound lessons learned from a simpler life to the utterly mundane realities of laundry and grocery runs in a new place every week. It’s about the society and culture of the road, the education found outside classroom walls, and the deep connection to places you only get by staying a while. Join our family’s conversation for an authentic, unvarnished look at what it truly means to explore this vast country together.
