Updated 29 January 2023.
Oh boy, I’ve gone down the rabbit hole that is Youtube and surfaced with these Australian Youtube channels to watch and subscribe to in 2023.
Youtube has come a long way since its launch in 2005. No longer dominated by short bursts of random videos, it has become an octane fuelled juggernaut of high quality productions. But there are also some channels that can inspire and inform, all while keeping a down to earth and authentic style of video.
Australian travel, 4wding, camping and caravanning content creators on YouTube offer loads of advice, product reviews and showcase amazing destinations.
I’ve put together Australian Youtube channels to watch, to really help you discover what’s out there in the Australian travel, 4wding, camping and caravanning universe.
I've broken things down into three categories (Blokes, Families, Couples) and in alphabetical order. If there is a particular type of channel you prefer, just scroll on down to reach the category you're interested in.
- FAMILIES
- BLOKES
- COUPLES
Just click on the video for each one you like and you will be able to support Australian Made content.
