Wander & Hook With The Somertons
Welcome to Wander & Hook, we’re Richard, Tanya, and Django (our black Lab), travelling full-time around Australia in our Vacationer Roughrider 21R caravan, towed by a Toyota LandCruiser LC300 Series. We’re complete vanlife newbies, figuring it out as we go from shakedown trips and caravan fails to outback sunsets, camp cooking, and quiet moments by the water. Our travels take us through South Australia, Victoria, the NT and beyond. Richard is a world champion bream fisherman, so expect plenty of fishing tips, camp cook-ups, and relaxed days chasing fish in rivers, oceans, and secret bush camps. We share honest reviews, raw moments, and real-life lessons from the road — with a dose of humour, a bit of 4WDing, and the occasional burnt dinner. Whether you’re dreaming of travelling Australia in a caravan, love fishing, or want to know what it’s really like to live full-time on the road with a dog, a partner, and no idea what’s next — subscribe to Wander & Hook and come along for the ride.
