About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.

@@itsJackandMegan thanks for adding the name here. I googled it and google seems to think it is the most dangerous living bird to humans! Fear justified! Is that why you stayed in the car Jack and filmed while Megan got out to take the pics? We have the Ostrich here which packs a mean kick which can kill a human. I see the Cassoway can get as big as 1.6m! Now I know why you didn't want to meet up with one...you'd have to look him in the eye and explain what you doing on his property :).

Nice one finding a Cassowary. That was a living descendent of the dinosaurs right there. Lucky the one you saw didn't have chicks with it, as it can get very aggressive & territorial when they have their young with them. They're not known as the most dangerous bird (or 2nd most dangerous bird next to the Ostrich) in the world for nothing.
