Hello from Hannah, Chris and dog Archie, and welcome to the Staycation Oz website.

2020 was certainly an interesting year for most people. For us, having to cancel a big European holiday (for a big birthday!), combined with the long Melbourne lockdown restrictions, triggered some life changing conversations, a big decision and lots of planning.

So, on the 4th of March 2021, we will be setting off on a 12(ish!) month trip around Australia – our BIG Staycation, with the whole of Australia as our backyard. We are sooo excited and can’t wait to get out on the road in our ute and caravan, exploring the best places, views, activities, food and drink that Australia has to offer, and looking forward to meeting some great people on the way!

We will be updating this website regularly with stories and our progress going clockwise around Australia, setting off from our home here in Melbourne.

We’ll also be posting weekly videos on YouTube of our adventures and the great places we visit, so subscribe to our Staycation Oz channel.
