Big Lap Questions: Answered

Big Lap Questions: Answered is the practical, experience-driven guidebook every Australian traveller needs before hitting the road.

Created by the team behind The Big Lap Bible, this 290-page full-colour guide answers over 300 real questions asked by travellers from across Australia; covering everything from buying and setting up your caravan or 4WD to budgeting, finding camps and managing life on the road.

Unlike traditional travel guides, Big Lap Questions: Answered goes beyond inspiration to deliver specific, doable advice. Each page tackles the real, sometimes messy, side of travelling full-time with clear, practical answers, top tips, and genuine insights from people who’ve actually done the Lap.

Organised into nine colour-coded chapters, the book follows the natural flow of a Lap journey; from early planning and choosing your setup, through to daily life on the road and returning home. It’s easy to navigate, easy to reference, and designed to be as useful on the coffee table before departure as it is in the glovebox on the road.

Real Travellers. Real Voices.

The heart of Big Lap Questions: Answered lies in the words of the travellers who contributed to this book. Each section is shaped by interviews with people currently on the road or who’ve completed their Lap - from young families and solo explorers to retirees and off-grid adventurers. Their quotes, stories and must-have/do/see lists give the book an authenticity that can’t be faked.

Readers hear directly from people who’ve learned by doing, sharing what worked, what didn’t, and what they’d do differently next time. The result is a guide that feels like getting advice from hundreds of mates around the campfire.
