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.
