In this episode, Annette chats with Jacqui and Dave from Really Good Travels, retired school teachers who set off at the end of 2022 and have since spent years exploring Australia in their caravan. After travelling across multiple states, including remote parts of Western Australia and the Northern Territory, they share what they've learned along the way and what they would do differently if they were starting again. This episode focuses on the common mistakes many travellers make before leaving, including overpacking, misunderstanding weight limits, underestimating power and water requirements, and trying to create the perfect plan before hitting the road. It's a practical, honest conversation that highlights what actually matters when planning a Lap of Australia and why flexibility often leads to the best experiences. If you're preparing for your own trip, Annette's planning guide will help you get organised before you leave and avoid the most common mistakes.
