You both are so welcomed back to the Land Down Under
Your Aussie series was one of the best I've seen on youtube and we have recommended heaps of our friends to watch it! Great to hear you're coming back!
You’ve seen more of Australia than most Australians! 😂😂
True. As someone from Adelaide, I've only been to this city and not any other 😂
@FC-OTHER we are in Adelaide too. We did a cruise from Sydney around the top of Australia to Fremantle, if you ever get the chance to do that I think you would love it, we have such a beautiful country, it's worth seeing it. In saying that I've lived all my life in South Australia and I've never been to Kangaroo Island but it's on our wish list.😊
Can't wait to see you back in Australia, hope you get to see Tasmania this time truly a beautiful part of our country.
Waiting for the "Tia for Scale" T shirts and coffee mugs too !!!
Oh yeah! That would be super cool!!
haha imagine they sell a tia for scale tshirt but it’s only sold in tia’s size
One "Tia for Scale" T shirt for every place Tia has done "Tia for Scale", that should pad out their merch store nice and quick as well as giving a new item every week 🤣 T shirts and coffee mugs of all the past post card designs would be good too
I thought Cheveyo was going to call a 'Tia for Scale' next to his little niece at 1:22!
@@brettmoffitt8223 oh they missed a perfect opportunity!
I love your stickers and postcards Tia, you have a great talent for art and design. Us Aussies have "adopted" you both 😄looking forward to seeing your van travels and fingers crossed we see you back in Oz in June 🤞❤
Awesome vid guys, had me in fits when Tia says, " You can cook eggs. " ...while sitting on the throne? I lost it!😂😂😂😂. An expat Kiwi watching from Brizzy. Cheers.❤
I couldn't be happier to hear you are coming back to Australia! I loved your Australia travel videos, and I loved spending time with you while your explored the country. Yayyyy.
would be cool to be able to buy the post cards as a set or maybe better, country series. same with the stickers if you turn the post cards into stickers.
A bunch of postcards matted in grid format and framed would look super cool!
I thought some of the Route 66 trip was really pretty, I really enjoyed it.....some people are hard to please aren't they. Looking forward to seeing the prettier parts of the US. The van will be great too!
Great to hear you guys are like Boomerangs & coming back to Australia. You guys love nature then you will have to do Tasmania, it is gorgeous. And remember Australia does get cold, you can even go skiing during winter
You must see TASMANIA this time,but any spot in Australia is magnificent.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You guys will make the BEST parents one day!!!!
Omg… best announcement. Returning to Australia. Fingers crossed you do end up being able to do the whole lap of Western Aust. The scenery around your home region in Arizona, feels like the desert regions in Aust. When you do arrive in Australia…welcome Home honorary Aussies! ❤
Hey Tia and Cheveyo, Greetings from sunny Adelaide. Great to hear you are coming back to 'The Land Downunder'. Looking forward to welcoming you back to Oz. PS Thoroughly enjoyed the Route 66 trip.
So happy to hear that you are planning to come back to land down under too like many other fellow Aussie! 😄 Thank you for showing the beautiful/pretty, historical and special trip on Route 66, your home town and your beautiful family ❤
Ok.....you just made a heap of Aussies happy !!! Yes, June is perfect....dry, warm weather. Try to get a second hand 4x4 for the off road stuff. I know you guys do your research, but if you need some suggestions.....happy to help. If you're flying into Perth, let me know....I can pick you up ( limo driver )....Don't forget your camping gear....This part of Oz is epic and so much like Az but with better beaches....haha.
Yep June is good for the top half of the country and the West coast, it is winter down south though
We NEED Tia for scale hoodies!!!!
Australian here. Re: The Lap - Get an AWD or 4x4 of some kind, whether its a Subaru, Toyota HiLux-type vehicle or a Nissan Patrol/Toyota Prado. It'll give you a lot more route flexibility in the event of road closures etc.
Spot on!
Totally agree!
you probably want to go across with friends that have their own 4wd too, that way if you breakdown you got another car as support.
Wooooooooo!!! So happy to hear you are coming back! I definitely recommend a trip to Tasmania also. It is absolutely gorgeous ❤️
So nice to see you enjoy some downtime in your hometown and re-connect with family - great way to re-set and centre yourselves between so much travel which I imagine can be exhausting! The Sedona red rocks and desert are gorgeous and reminiscent of outback Australia. The stickers are awesome and Tia should definitely use her creativity for some merch! You should do an official Tia for scale with the van exterior! Excited for your next Australian leg, meantime look forward to seeing some van life travelling more of the US! Enjoy!
Glad to hear you are completing the Big Lap. you really missed my favourite part of the whole country, the Kimberly and the Coral Coast. You will be blown away and won't want to leave...
❤ Hey coming back to Australia yes! I loved seeing my beloved country thru your sweet eyes Its been fun watching route 66 I have heard about route 66 for many years and enjoyed every bit of this journey ❤ I don't mind where you go I'm engaged and watching with delight Just love the music u match with wonderful scenes ❤
By the way big shout out to Chev legend effort with front suspension overhaul....👍👍 that van is a unit !!
13:00 if you get back to Oz I recommend hiking in the Karijini gorges in the Hammersley ranges. If you like red rock canyons then this is iron ore country. Maybe a camper van and include the Pilbara and Kimberly
Just got your announcement about Oz 😄 June July should be dry season in N WA, winter in Perth
OMG I love stickers! I love this idea, if it will ever be possible to get some (outside of the US), I would buy some.😍
i love that you're going to come back to see us in australia! 🇦🇺 i hope that you'll make it all the way around this time and find some more hidden treasures. looking forward to seeimg you guys and the amazing artworks from Tia....and a blueberry reunion????
Awesome news, guys. 😍 Please try to see Tassie this time around, you will be blown away. Sending love from the Sunny Coast 🌞🌊
it's good to see you when you are back and there is giant Rocking horse waiting for Tia
Your artwork on the back of a T-shirt would be amazing .Or your beautiful art on a journal too
Maybe do the Flinders Ranges, Kings Canyon, then Kakadu before you head west from Darwin for the remainder of the lap to Perth. Those would all definitely be better with something a bit more off-road than a 2WD Mazda. No need to be a 4WD expert, you can still avoid the rough tracks. But for example the road you accidentally took west of Alice can be done in a 2WD but would be more comfy in something with a little bit more clearance (4WD or AWD). Hope your budget is up to it and you get a long visa again!
Omg your nieces are absolutely adorable ♥
You guys remind me in times of need that there are nice people out there! :) Yes the stickers are amazing! Your creative outlet making money is just a bonus!
We loved your route 66 trip. Can’t believe that people don’t think the USA is pretty. We’re New Zealanders (which is exceptionally pretty) and I love the USA. Love the stickers and the postcards.
Love Tia's art so stickers would be cool. Great to hear you coming back and Cheveyo's haircut is looking good.
So happy to hear that you are coming back to Aus to take care of unfinished business!😊 I am 100% certain that you will be blown away by the similarity of landscapes between the area around Sedona and the Kimberley region of northwest Western Australia. Our winter (June - August) is the best time of the year to travel across the Top End. My wife and I will be visiting central Australia in August. Happy Trails 👍
Awesome... We're doing our camper trailer now from Reno-San Jose-Santa Barbara-Palm Springs Joshua Tree-AZ-NM-Austin-CO-UT-Idaho-Reno LOOP. Dropping off the camper for our son to use this summer while we head over to UK Ireland Scotland Spain Portugal Morocco for the summer.. Be safe! If ya see a yellow/gray Retro camper on the road with 2JUSTGO NV plates, give us a honk ✌️
Just wanted to say that I loved the Route 66 videos, found them interesting and different. Really enjoying your you tube channel, have fun, love from the land down under xx
Thank you 😊
I saw "reckon" in the title & knew was Australia related! Great that you'll be able to complete the lap,the Kimberley Region will absolutely amaze you! If you're looking for other 4x4 offroading ideas - theres the south East Qld sand islands. There's K'gari/Fraser, Strabroke and Moreton. Tip if you do visit K'gari/Fraser Island on the Fraser coast, there's other places of interest around the region too. Including the heritage town of Maryborough - which has a quirky connection to Mary Poppins. It was the birthplace of P.L Travers who wrote Mary Poppins. The old bank building where she was born upstairs, was re named the "Story Bank" and turned into a fun, heritage museum. The crossing lights have Mary Poppins on them too instead of the usual stick figures. There's also an annual Mary Poppins Festival at the end of June lol. If you end up back in New South Wales to see the Blue Mountains, an hour south there's also the Jenolan Caves, the world's oldest known network of open limestone caves. And this one's just completely random info - but there's an area in outback NSW a lot of people don't know about to visit called Mungo National Park/Lake Mungo. An ancient dried up lake system with striking white sand dunes in the middle of the outback. And these strange formations from eroded dunes called "lunettes" - which look like something from another planet. The area has huge cultural and Australian history significance through archeological discoveries that proved that Indigenous Australians had been here for 65,000 yrs. There's also the worlds largest preserved collection of ice age footprints that were found there. It will be early winter in Australia in June, some areas will be cooler than others, be sure to bring some winter clothing so you're prepared, wherever you go. Looking forward to seeing your next series of Aussie adventures - wherever they may take you! 🙂
I share your enthusiasm for OZ! I have been there 3 times and even lived in Melbourne for around 6 months, I feel so at home every time I go there.
Taking a campervan across the Kimberley’s and the Pilbara in Western Australia would be awesome. I have just finished a road trip to the Grampians from Newcastle via the backroads and it was such a great experience. I don’t know if a campervan would survive the Gibb River road from Kununurra to Broome but the scenery is spectacular. Also you have to experience the float plane trip out of Broome to the Horizontal Falls. It is one the most amazing things I have experienced in my life.
It's great you missed out on the lap because you got to see Uluru and the rest of the centre, and, we now get you back to complete it 🤩👍👏 PS. Would love to see some of the indigenous culture if you're inclined. 65,000 years and counting :)
Watching this 3am Brisbane, Watching you complete the big lap down the West Coast of Oz will be one of the best adventures .
There's so much 'comfort' and 'daily life' in this video, so nice to watch. And I can almost kind of 'feel' the dry climate of Arizona, when watching. Which is kinda weird, as I am watching this from home in Kuala Lumpur, which is as humid as it gets, as you both know. :-)))
Looking forward to seeing how you finish off the Big Lap out west and once again getting amongst the Blue Bush (a variant of Salt Bush).
I’ve always thought Tia was an amazing artist. You are so blessed to be able to use your talent. I think people not seeing the beauty in any land is knowing the history of the land. I always picture the people that came before. American native villages in the shade of cottonwoods along a waterway with their herds of hundreds of horses. White invaders with only their 2 wheeled carts holding everything they owned going across the country. Families following wagons pulled by oxen. Having to keep moving no matter how close women were to giving birth etc.
Y’all videos are like the best part of my week I’ve been really focusing on work lately so I get really excited when I get the notification
Great idea with the car cleaning, thanks. Looking forward to seeing more of America. Hope to see you down under soon!
great news, you are coming back for further exploration, although I suspect the real reason is the desperate need to discover even more "Big Things". Ah yes. who could forget the look of awe and wonder when you discovered the "Big Potato"" (dare I say the eighth wonder of the world!!!). Lovely to have you back. Onya possums.
Yayyyy I'm so excited for you guys to come back to Australia!! Some beautiful places you can visit of the section you couldn't get to last time😊
Some van life for the next few weeks will be SO FUN 👏🏼 So excited you are coming back to Australia for more adventures!! Drive safe & can’t wait for the next one!
Great to see Sedona! I mountain-biked around there in 2009 during my US road trip. It's so beautiful there. So glad you're finishing the big lap in Australia ❤
I really love that you guys are repping the US so thoughtfully. We’re a big, complex, gorgeous country. I love abandoned USA, but I see why folks overseas may not get that. And - I’d buy stickers from you!!!
Happy travels ❤🎉
The variety in your videos is awesome! Road trips, hikes, home life... Thank you both for showing us the 'real' side of traveling! I love stickers - stickers for different countries, and maybe in country packs as some people have suggested, would be awesome! Sticker sheets would also be really cool :)
Looks like Arizona is as dry as Perth ,hard to grow a lawn .Enjoy the Van guys ,can't wait to see your trip in it !!!!
Greetings from Perth. Love the fact you used "I reckon... " Very Aussie! Still loving your content. Great that you're coming back to Oz!
I am so excited you are coming back to us in Aus, cannot wait. Thank you for making my day with this news.
Enjoy RVing! So cool you guys are heading back to Australia
Great to see you are coming back to Australia! Tia’s art is amazing. You should do an exhibition sometime, although I can see how that would be tricky when you’re travelling. 😊 🇦🇺
Tell those people there are some beautiful parts of America, including the abandoned places, such as Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, the Rockies and many more. The west coast is stunning. If those people came to outback Australia where there is nothing but expanses of empty land they would probably say the same but we also have beautiful places. So glad you guys are finishing the big lap at last. Travel safe.
Really excited for Australia pt. 2!
Yay, welcome back, we can’t wait to see you again ❤
Looking good guys!! Obviously a great vlog.. happy days. Thanks for sharing your family with us too.❤️
Really looking forward to pretty America in the next few weeks, and to your continuation of the Aussie lap! There are so many beautiful places in Australia that you are yet to see, can't wait to follow along with you!
So excited that you are planning on coming back to Australia , you are both just a welcome burst of sunshine that we need especially after the events in Sydney this past week
Great your coming back to Australia....nice to see you in your hometown also....😊
Glad you're coming back to Australia
I love the idea of turning the post cards into stickers and selling them. That would be good in sets per country too. I'm so pleased you're coming back to Australia! Fantastic news, and the weather should have settled down by then too. It's been so hot in the west and almost constant cyclones and rain in the north, but it's starting to behave itself now that Autumn is beginning (here in Qld at least).
Love you guys. I can't wait for you to take travel on youtube by storm. Im rooting for you guys. Btw im excited for you guys to come back to Australia
I'll look forward to your WA trip with interest as I plan to spend three months next year travelling WA. I have travelled pretty much all over the all other states but never had the time to head over there.
Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your next adventures. Merch is a great idea 😊🚐
Great news that you are coming back to AUSTRALIA, We loved that series. When going to Outback get BUSHMAN Insect repellent. Sold in Woolworths about $12.00 Take Care ❤❤
Woo Hoo!! So exciting!!
Woohoo 🎉🎉🎉 Very excited about you venturing back to Australia in June ❤❤
So pleased that you guys will be back in Australia! We look forward to your arrival and your next awesome adventure! Sedona looks amazing…wow! 🇦🇺✈️🚗
Love love love those fairy lights! Excited to see this series of videos, and SO excited you’re coming back to Australia! 😊
oh cool you're coming back to Australia! We have all of your postcards on our wardrobe door, my kid will be so stoked to watch!
Like #2 from Gilbert Arizona! 🎉❤
Looking forward to the new adventures 😀
Stickers look great! 👍
Hope The Jemez and Valles Caldera near Los Alamos, New Mexico, are on your route. Stunning part of New Mexico.
enjoy van life and can't wait to see you back in Sydney Australia soon
Yay so awesome that you are coming back to Australia hope you do some regional towns love all your videos
Tia will/would be a terrific mom! Ivy obviously adores her. So nice to see you guys back home in the USA and enjoying life🙂 You have a lovely family Cheveyo.
Your drawings are amazing. Great on a tee shirt or coffee mugs! So would buy them!
Enjoy Vanlife! ❤
Thank you for planning on coming back here to Australia to finish your trip! Am so excited for that but in the meantime I know I’ll enjoy your scenic road trip in the US to show us more of your amazing country! Take care and thank you heaps for your enjoyable vlogs. Love from Adelaide ❤❤
Wow!~~ Congratulation!!!~~ Good to see U guy again.....
So glad you guys want to come back to Australia. Makes an Aussie feel very proud that you liked it here so much that you'd travel all this way to come back again.
Awww lovely family vid guys &. can't wait to see more of your beautiful country in your van. Sedona is stunning! Btw love your earrings Tia ❤
Fabulous news 👏 Australian here 🇦🇺
Yay. Loved your Australian trip videos. Hope you get to see Tasmania as well.
Great to hear you’re thinking of returning to Oz to complete the loop. I picked up your channel when you first landed in this great land, and have been hanging out for each next update ever since. You bring out the best experiences possible from your travels in other parts of the world without doubt. I’m 70, never been outside Australia, but have travelled the country widely, and there’s still so much I haven’t seen. Whilst we’re in Melbourne, one of our sons is a doctor living in Cairns, so we don’t really need an excuse to head to Queensland as often as possible (and like a lot of Melbournians we share a passion for Noosa, or Sunshine Beach to be more precise). Enjoy being home and amongst family before your next adventure.
Hope the van gets to ....Yosemite, Sth Lake Tahoe, Antelope Canyon, Brice and Zion.....with a return to the Grand Canyon / Monument Valley.
We did our own road trip when we were young like you and just loved Sedona and the red rock country ❤
We cannot wait to have you back in Oz; We think it's actually your spiritual home. If there's any prep or set up you need in Brisbane, let me know, I am happy to help.
So glad to hear you are coming back to Aussie land. Loved following your Australia travels, you are such a gorgeous couple and your videos are so cute.
Yay! Cant wait to have you back in Australia ❤ i would love to buy stickers for my drink bottle 😊
It's great to hear that you are going to finish the lap. 'Wilpena Pound' is right up your alley.
Should of guessed it by your title you reckon 😎 Can't wait to see you guys back. 😎
