Big Oz Explorers Our new campground Agora Hideaway

Chris, Sian, Jayda & Jack. Living & breathing Australia! Keeping it real ✌🏼 Welcome to Big Oz Explorers!

After 3.5 years on the road full-time, we're now part-time travellers and proud owners of Agora Hideaway, our campground in Tenterfield, NSW. Follow us for a mix of farm life, DIY projects, and travel adventures. Whether you're planning your big lap or just curious about the off-grid lifestyle, we’ll share what we’ve learned along the way and why we chose this journey. It’s been an exciting ride with ups, downs, and plenty of learning curves, all shared by your genuine Aussie family.

We are so pumped to share the progress on our brand-new shed! Over the New Year, we were lucky enough to have some good friends Nadia & Graham join us with their 4 kids for a few days to help kick-start the build. None of us had any prior shed-building experience, so it’s been quite the challenge, but an awesome one at that!

In just three days, we’ve managed to get the frame up and make some serious progress. Honestly, we’re super proud of how far we’ve come already. There’s still plenty to go, but now it’s just down to me and Sian to finish this off. 💪🏼

This shed will be a game-changer for Agora Hideaway giving us some much-needed storage and workspace as we keep growing this place. Massive thanks to our mates for their help, it’s been an unforgettable way to start the year.

Here’s to tackling the rest of the build and seeing this come to life!

Today, we’re celebrating the heart of our family and the woman who keeps everything running smoothly, whether it’s wrangling the kids, learning new skills (like operating that tractor!), or building Agora Hideaway into something truly special.

Sian, you inspire us every day with your strength, kindness, and determination. From the laughter you bring into our lives to the incredible adventures you lead us on, we’re so lucky to have you in our corner.

Here’s to another year of making memories, chasing dreams, and creating something amazing together. Have the most beautiful day, you deserve it! 💖

Lots of love,
Chris, Jayda, Jack, and Bella 🐾

Lake St Clair Park 📍NSW

Lake St Clair Park was one of our first stops in the new van, and what a way to kick things off! This stunning location offered plenty of space to camp, and we were lucky enough to snag a spot right next to the water. Waking up to those serene lake views through the window each morning was nothing short of magical.

The park has everything you need for a great stay. Amenities, a playground for the kids, a dump point plus plenty of bins. If you’ve got a boat, you’re in for an extra treat with plenty of water to explore.

At $48 per night for 2 adults and 2 kids, it was a fantastic spot for the whole family.

We’re absolutely stoked to announce that we’re back with a brand-new caravan, it’s a TORUS RV Kakadu 19.6ft. This has been something we’ve been talking about for a while. Having the freedom to hook up, disappear for weeks (or even months), and fully embrace life on the road again, we’ve missed it!

Here’s a fun fact: Torus RV are the manufacturer of our very first van when we hit the road all those years ago. It’s been incredible to watch their journey and growth over the years, and now we’re beyond excited to be part of that story again.

This van is our ultimate weekender and getaway setup, perfect for quick escapes or long adventures. We’re already gearing up to put it to the test with some big trips planned for next year, Cape York being one 🤘🏼

Here’s to new horizons, discovering new places and making unforgettable memories!

We’re so excited to announce that our new weekender has arrived! We decided to go with something smaller, as building something bigger is going to take much longer than expected! This new edition has everything we need, and we can’t wait to finally sleepover at the land.

Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing all the details about what we chose, why we chose it, and how it’s coming together. Stay tuned for updates, photos, and a peek inside this exciting new chapter!

14/10/2024

What a massive week it’s been! In just 7 days, we tackled 8 major projects on the property and couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished with pure teamwork and dedication.

We built 4 new access ramps to improve movement for us and our neighbors, prepped both the shed and house pads ready for the next step – pouring concrete, and completed a huge upgrade to the dam, expanding it to 3x its original size! The dam project alone was a monumental effort, but seeing it done is so rewarding. Every day brought new challenges, but we powered through with focus and grit.

It’s amazing what can be achieved with just the two of us pushing towards the same goals. Now it’s time to take a breather and appreciate how far we’ve come before we start our next big project 💪🏼

We couldn’t be prouder of our two incredible kids, Jayda and Jack! It’s been a great few years, travelling across Oz, exploring new places, and now starting a new life on the land. Through it all, they’ve adapted so well, showing amazing resilience and spirit.

Jayda and Jack have embraced every adventure we’ve thrown their way. From traveling all over Oz to the quiet outback, they’ve learned, grown, and thrived. Now, as we settle into our new life on the farm, they continue to amaze us with their adaptability and positive attitudes. Whether it’s helping out with chores, exploring the great outdoors, or making new friends, they tackle everything with enthusiasm and grace.

Jayda and Jack, your strength and positivity inspire us every day. We can’t wait to see all the wonderful things you’ll achieve in this new chapter of our lives. Here’s to endless adventures, new beginnings, and the amazing journey ahead!
