Mini bio
How it started.
Justin grew up in Burpengary and met Bec while they were both serving in the Royal Australian Air Force in Newcastle. He worked as a mechanic, including in mining, before the couple sold up and left Newcastle with their three children in December 2015. What began as a planned year around Australia grew into years on the road.
The audience found them.
They documented life as Trip In A Van, sharing the everyday work of travelling with children alongside the places they visited. Their kangaroo-in-the-caravan video drew international attention in 2016. Justin’s drone footage of a crocodile carrying a cow along the Ord River brought further coverage in 2017.
Sharing what they learned.
Their first print guide arrived in November 2022, covering preparation, budgets, equipment and itineraries for every Australian state and territory. Bucket List Experiences followed in November 2025. They now have a Queensland home base, with the family continuing to travel during school holidays.
