Our discovery of Lakeview Hip Camp in Beachmere is exactly why we love exploring close to home. Just 45 minutes from Brisbane's CBD, this 50-acre property offers lakefront camping with direct water access, provided kayaks and paddleboards, and thoughtful amenities including a playground, games area, and campfire pits. At around $35 per night, it's a bargain escape that doesn't require a long journey.

The highlight of our episode is our conversation with Harry Fisher from Fire to Fork. His story of transitioning from corporate finance to Australia's premier campfire cooking expert during COVID lockdowns is nothing short of inspiring. Harry shares how filming simple cooking videos on Broome beaches led to bestselling cookbooks, massive YouTube success, and a completely transformed life. His practical advice for fire cooking novices (treat it like a barbecue and start with liquid-rich dishes) had us eager to expand beyond our trusty campfire baked potatoes.

Harry's mouthwatering miso fish recipe and tales of his modified Land Cruiser 300 (with a jaw-dropping 1,330Nm of torque) left us inspired and hungry for more adventures. As we wrapped up, we reflected on a powerful reminder that resonates with so many families: "You only get 18 summers with your kids." What adventures are you putting off today that could become tomorrow's treasured memories?

Curious about cooking over fire or looking for your next weekend escape? This episode might just spark your next great adventure. Listen now and join us next week as we prepare for the ultimate test – K'gari (Fraser Island)!

Luxury meets adventure at Sandstone Point Holiday Resort, where traditional camping transforms into an all-inclusive vacation experience that's dividing the caravanning community. We dive deep into what makes this Queensland destination arguably Australia's most expensive campground, with sites reaching a jaw-dropping $1,669 per week during peak periods.

From the moment you arrive, you're immersed in a resort atmosphere that prompted our nine-year-old son Jasper to declare, "It's not a caravan park, Dad. It's a theme park for caravaners." The facilities are genuinely extraordinary – swim-up bars, water slides, splash zones, pump tracks, recreation areas, and a unique wristband system that serves as both your access key and wallet throughout the resort.

While the price tag might cause sticker shock for traditional campers, we explore whether the value proposition makes sense for families seeking a complete holiday destination where kids can play endlessly and parents can relax poolside. Our midweek visit (30% discount applied!) gave us the perfect opportunity to experience the luxury without the weekend crowds.

We also catch up with Brad and Hayley from Our Australia Trip, who share their journey of turning a planned one-year adventure into three years of full-time travel. They offer practical advice on working remotely, with Brad securing truck driving positions and Hayley working as a relief teacher. Their key suggestion for aspiring nomads? "Set a date and just go – you can always come back for special occasions."

The couple shares insights on their favorite Australian destination (the Ningaloo Coast), hints at an exciting vehicle upgrade in their future, and discusses how they're transitioning from a short-term adventure to a sustainable traveling lifestyle that might eventually include children.

Whether you're dreaming of luxury camping experiences or seeking practical advice on how to make long-term travel work, this episode delivers inspiration and real-world strategies from those living the dream. What's your take – would you splurge on Australia's most luxurious campground?
