Having an off-grid, overland adventure in Australia has been a dream of mine for a long time and finally, that dream is coming true. On this expedition, Regena and I travel to the Land Down Under with our good friend Marco and his family to meet up with the Justin and his son Christian from Patriot Campers and set off to explore one of the most iconic off-road destinations in Eastern Australia, the famous K’gari Island (Fraser Island), a designated World Heritage site.
We will spend the next several days exploring the magical beauty of the world’s largest sand island and find out there is so much more to the island than beautiful beaches. But this adventure is not just about wheeling and camping, we had the unique experience of being personally welcomed by Traditional Owners with a smoking ceremony and learning more about the history and culture of K’gari.
But before we hit the beach and trails, we were invited to check out the Patriot Campers factory and see where the trailers I’ve been towing for years are made. I love seeing how things are made and learning about the process, the precision, and hard work that goes into every single build has given me a new appreciation for the high quality of these rugged trailers. At the end of our tour, we finally get to see what we’ll be driving and towing on this Australian adventure for the next several days.
This whole adventure was an incredible once in a lifetime experience, but it wasn’t without a few challenges along the way. Tune in and ride along with us as we discover the magic of Australia’s K’gari Island!

Australia was the dream of my dad. Its incredible............. Fantastico, GRAZIE a Regina & DOC. Thanks to Patriot camper. They, however, are of Italian origin. From Milan where I live to Sicily where my blood originates, immersed in a thousand panoramas and history, I feel a little envious about your trip. Then I got used to American English, hearing people speak with an Australian accent reminds me of Fluffy, Gabriel Iglesias. A big hug to Marco and all the Petriot campers family and.....enjoy the vastest paradise on earth. Respect, Paolo

Man oh man. The places you have taken us too here in the states is amazing but this, this is truly an epic adventure I would never have imagined. Did you ever think your off road hobby would have taken you here to the land down under? You and Regena are the best ambassadors of the overlanding phenomenon. Having Marco and his family along makes it such a special trip. Thanks to Patriot Campers for hosting this incredible adventure.

@13:15 Brad was wondering about the fuel tank size. Justin's truck seems to be using a BrownDavis fuel tank. Actually Justin seems to be even endorsing the tank on the page of BrownDavis's. You can find it with "79 Series Fuel Tank Justin Owner Patriot Campers".

My grandfather left Adelaide in the early part of the 20th century. I took my first trip to Australia seven years ago. Oh, so many things to see and do. Now retired I am working on a 4 to 6 week outback trip. The challenge is where to go? Too many things to see and do and not enough time.

Been to Frazer Island many times, looks like I need to go back, always loved it. Have a great trip, look forward to more Frazer videos. As an Aussie, can’t come at that welcome to country rubbish.

Hey Brad & Regina, this was a great video, what a honor to be welcomed in such a warm way by Justin & his crew. I met you at Overland West about 4 yrs. ago, even got a photo with you ( Marco also). After my son graduated high school he along with his cousin & two of their friends went to Australia for 3 months. They wanted an adventure before they had to "buckle down" for college. They said they were going to Perth in western Australia, but the first call I got from him he said "hi, we're in Surfer's Paradise on the east coast". Plans can change fast when you're young and adventurous! They loved Australia & the people they met & had fun learning how to surf. Glad they got to travel some while they were young, they are all in their 40's now.

HAHA. On my 98 cruise on the Stennis we pulled into Perth and then Hobart on Tasmania. I was surprised on how green the Island of Tasmania was. We actually went out into the "bush" and went shroom picking with some Aussie Deadheads we met. Definitely a memorable port. I also got a big tattoo from a Tasmanian Hells Angel.
