Leaving van life behind for a tropical island paradise | Wop-pa Great Keppel Island

This week we (tentatively) waved goodbye to Billie for a few nights to explore the tropical paradise that is Wop-pa (Great Keppel Island). Once known as a place to party with its tourism campaign encouraging travellers to come 'Get Wrecked' at Great Keppel, Wop-pa is now a sleepy and budget friendly tropical island that is steeped in natural bushland. Join me in this special place where we bask in the summery weather, explore a couple of crystal clear beaches, and hike around the island... with a few pesky friends. ------------------------------------- Links mentioned in video // 19080s TV tourism ads for Great Keppel Island:    • Great Keppel Island tourism ad (1983)      • Great Keppel Island Australian ad (80s)   News articles regarding Wop-pa's potential redevelopment plans: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/creative/... ------------------------------------- Follow the journey on instagram: @jessiwandering ------------------------------------- All music licensed through YouTube music #vanlife #vanlifer #travelaustralia #alternativeliving #nomadiclife #vanlifevlog #travelvlog #queensland #tropicalqueensland
