Hi! We're Margie and Tim — a family of four caravanning Australia and chasing the dream of the Big Lap of Australia!

We left Adelaide in November 2023 with our two kids and everything we own, with the goal of travelling Australia's coastlines, deserts and everywhere in between.

This channel is our travel diary — the real, unfiltered story of what it's like to do the big lap of Australia as a family.

If you like raw travel inspo, caravan maintenance tips, big lap planning hints and tips, we would love for you to join us :)

New videos every week: caravan tours, budget tips, destination guides and honest family life on the road.

Hi everyone,

For those who don't know, our son has a Okur Chung diagnosis. It's a genetic condition that has many challenges. It's also a reason why not many videos lately... life's been a little hectic!

It is early days for the research on Okur Chung, and I'm doing a fun run to help raise awareness, and money to support more research.

If anyone would like to donate or learn more, please check out my link: runsignup.com/Race/117206/Donate/K7QY3QEUXCudlatC

Ps Alex is doing well, but it's an ongoing learning curve for us all, and I'm learning to navigate the medical world of therapists and doctors :)

Hi everyone!

Hope you're all having a wonderful day :)

We haven't uploaded a video for a while, and we have much to tell you!!

Quick update:
We're back in Adelaide for a short while. I (Margie) have been sorting out a few health troubles, which I'll let you know about after I get my head around it all. All good, but it has required many specialist appointments.

We've sold our hybrid and looking at the next size up with bunks!

If you'd like to follow our journey on upgrading the van, and what we think we need to add in, join our email newsletter.

Head to www.margieandtim.com.au to join up (for free and you'll get a copy of our how to plan a lap of Australia guide)

I'll also update you on threads - I've been enjoying posting random info about van shopping!

Once we get our new van sorted, and my health good well be travelling again!

Can't wait to start uploading some videos again, but for now please join us via our email community and threads

This is the Ningaloo!! Well, out take on it anyway!!

Tune in 4.30pm CST today to be the first to view :)

Back to posting videos on Friday, but it's kinda cuz I didn't get time to upload on Monday... If you want to see the BTS, join us on Instagram margieandtim to see our crazy stories... then it will make sense!! 🤪

Anyway, I think you're going to love this one, we weren't planning on filming this but I'm so glad we grabbed the camera last minute.

So it's unplanned, unscripted and 100% what happens daily!!!

Ps it would mean heaps to us if you could please subscribe, like, comment, share with friends. That will really help support our small channel as it helps the YouTube system! :) Thanks so much 😊❤️

Hey :)

As you can imagine, travelling with kids... and ND kids, has its challenges! We go on their time schedule, and if they need us more than usual, other things (like our YouTube channel) get second place.

So... hence why the posting on different days.

However, we're starting to get into a routine and have a question for you.

What day do you prefer to watch YouTube videos?

We'll be publishing a video this afternoon, and it's one of our favs yet :)

Once we have a day somewhat worked out, we'll let you know.

PS feel free to join the chat over on Instagram @Margieandtim

Good evening everyone!
Just a heads up... In the next hour or so I'm releasing a new video that is completely different to what we've been uploading.
Please don't panic! We'll be back to travel vlogs and caravanning adventures shortly (I'm hoping in the next few days, pending how kids are going - if a video is late, just know I'm flat out with kids haha!!)

On a similar note, this video that's about to be published with Alex in mind, but I figure it will be great for everyone.

Please let me know if you like this and would like more, or if I should put these on a new channel.

Have a wonderful evening and thanks for all your support.
Margie and Tim :)
