About this listen
They had a house deposit saved on the Gold Coast.
Corporate jobs. Brisbane commutes. The "next step" all mapped out.
Instead, they chose to travel Australia.
In this episode of Big Lap Chats, I chat with Abby and Gus from Sunburnt Tracks about why they skipped buying property and hit the road in a Hilux canopy setup with a rooftop tent and tinny.
We cover:
-
How they replaced a mortgage plan with a big lap of Australia
-
Negotiating remote work on the road
-
Fishing their way around the Top End
-
Croc-country boat launches (yes, that story)
-
Corrugations, breakages and reality checks
-
Why East Arnhem Land left such a mark
-
What they'd change if they started again
This is an honest conversation about freedom, pressure, money, and choosing your own version of success in Australia.
If you're dreaming about a lap but feeling stuck in the "should we buy a house first?" stage, this episode is for you.
