Steve & Jen’s Big Lap Expedition

This is where Expedition Australia all began. We are the Baile family, Steve, Jen, Savanna & Sara and between September 2005 and January 2007 we travelled 46,600 km on our 16 month adventure around Australia. Along the way we travelled some of Australia’s toughest roads and visited many of the most remote and spectacular destinations.

Our goal for the trip was to reach all of the extremes of Australia – that’ the north (Cape York), south (Cape Tribulation), east (Cape Byron), west (Steep Point), the centre (Lamberts Centre) and the highest point at the top of Mt Kosciuszko. We figured that getting to these points would involve a whole lot of adventure along the way and we were right!

Our Trip Log

We published a Trip Log of our trip which was a great way to share our trip with friends and family and over 1000 other people that followed us ‘virtually’ through this website.

I’ve had to take the Trip Log offline temporarily because the old blog format it was created in is not WordPress compatible, however I’m starting to republish it camp by camp from the beginning and including new material, photos and useful links so click on the link below to see where we are up to.
