About us

We are a travel webseries that focuses on the local knowledge and lifestyle. Our first season will take place in Australia’s East Coast, driving from Cairns to Sydney, passing through the Great Barrier Reef, Whitsundays, Fraser Island, Gold Coast, Byron Bay and much more.

Camperlife is a popular way of traveling (and lifestyle) in Australia. For that reason, we will be covering 3000km showcasing the daily experiences of this type of adventure, including breathtaking locations, a range of extreme sports and an abundant wildlife both in and out of the water – much of which cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

Additionally, The Local Eye Show aims to feature special guest appearances from local personalities in each region. This approach allows us to showcase not only the main tourist attractions but also places and activities from the perspective of a local individual, such as an athlete, guide, influencer, etc.
