Tassie does shacklife like nowhere else, especially when summer rolls around. It’s the first week of summer in Sisters Beach on the north-western coast of lutruwita/Tasmania and all is quiet. The shacks lining the streets have their curtains pulled and only a handful of people toddle down to the sand each morning and afternoon. In a few weeks’ time, eskies will be packed, relatives rallied, and the annual pilgrimage of Tassie locals will see its streets transformed.

Australia’s National Surfing Reserves are hallowed ground when it comes to the beaches found along our coast, and not only for surfers.

Former shopfitter and visual merchandiser respectively, Luke and Jess Riddle had no idea when they set off on a lap of Australia in 2017 that they would still be enjoying a nomadic lifestyle seven years later. They’ve travelled hundreds of thousands of kilometres and tested out almost every vehicle set-up you can imagine – new off-road caravan, troopy, a converted Toyota Coaster bus – and they’re now looping back to some of their favourite spots in a 60 series Toyota LandCruiser.
