I love frogs, and I wanted to create a mini nature documentary about all of the frogs in Tasmania, that little island at the bottom of Australia, while travelling around in my van. Well... if you watched the video, you'll know it didn't exactly go as planned.

This is probably the silliest thing I've ever made (and a bit different from my other van life videos), but I had so much fun making it. Thanks to everyone that helped me along the way - Craig Broadfield, The Tassie Frogs facebook group, and Lachie for the thumbnail design.

We are currently doing a lap of Australia in our self-converted sprinter van, and will be making more silly little videos about Australian wildlife, the Australian environment/nature, and our Aussie adventure.

Thanks so much for watching - if you liked the video, let me know liking or subscribing - it keeps me going + tells the algorithm to show the video to more people.

I recognise and pay my respects to the deep history and culture of Tasmania and the Tasmanian Aboriginal people, the traditional owners of the Land upon which this video was made.
