The Cooke Family
We are the Cooke Family, travelling Australia as "The Cookie Van Australia". We have always loved the outdoors and decided one day that our usual weekends away, camping outdoor life, should be everyday life and made the decision to travel Australia full time. This was not an easy decision to make, but it is one we do not regret. We have seen some amazing things while we have been travelling since late 2021.

Sam is an outdoors man through and through. A carpenter by trade, he is travelling and working at the same time.
Sam enjoys fishing, four wheel driving, camping and outdoor cooking. He loves a campfire chat with good company.
