They had a house deposit saved on the Gold Coast. Corporate jobs. Brisbane commutes. The "next step" all mapped out. Instead, they chose to travel Australia. In this episode of Big Lap Chats, I chat with Abby and Gus from Sunburnt Tracks about why they skipped buying property and hit the road in a Hilux canopy setup with a rooftop tent and tinny. We cover: How they replaced a mortgage plan with a big lap of Australia Negotiating remote work on the road Fishing their way around the Top End Croc-country boat launches (yes, that story) Corrugations, breakages and reality checks Why East Arnhem Land left such a mark What they'd change if they started again This is an honest conversation about freedom, pressure, money, and choosing your own version of success in Australia. If you're dreaming about a lap but feeling stuck in the "should we buy a house first?" stage, this episode is for you. 🎧 Subscribe and follow Big Lap Chats so you don't miss future episodes.
