Locky & Irena Gilbert

Brand Ambassadors

Welcome to the Wonderland Family!

Locklan Gilbert, his wife Irena, their adorable daughter Ava,
along with their beloved dog Odin, have embarked on a
thrilling new chapter in their lives. They’ve traded the hustle
and bustle of city living for the freedom of the open road,
setting off in their 21ft Amaroo caravan.

As they explore the vast and diverse landscapes of
Australia, they will be sharing their
adventures with the world. From breathtaking coastal vistas
to rugged outback trails, they’re eager to discover hidden
gems and create unforgettable memories.

After completing their initial three-week journey from
Melbourne to Perth, Locklan, Irena, Ava (and of course
Odin) will be taking shorter trips over the next 9 to 12
months. This will allow them to share the best weekend
getaways near Perth, including family-friendly and dog-
friendly spots, as well as hidden local gems that their
audience may not have heard of.

Next year, the Gilbert family is planning a grand
adventure to the Kimberley and the Gibb River Road.

Stay tuned for updates on their journey as they explore the
wonders of Australia. Follow their adventures and
experience the joy of caravanning through the eyes of the
Gilbert family!

“We’ve tried just about every camping, travelling, and van life setup imaginable, and we believe we’ve finally found the perfect one with the Wonderland RV.”

Join Them on Their Journey

What inspired you to start caravanning?

The saying “life only starts when you hit the road” really resonated with us. With so many incredible places in our backyard, having the comfort of a caravan makes exploring them so much easier.

What's your favourite family activity on the road? How do you keep Ava happy?

Right now, it’s all about Ms. Rachel on YouTube, as Ava is still very young, so games are a bit tricky at the moment.

How do you fit everything in your caravan? Any clever storage ideas?

Honestly, the Amaroo has more than enough space for everything we bring. If there was more space, Irena would probably just fill it with something else anyway! 

What's the coolest thing you've found on your travels? Any hidden gems or off-the-beaten-path places?

If you can catch a good weather window in Exmouth during December or January, you can have the whole place to yourself! Just south of Ningaloo National Park, it’s perfect, and you can bring your furry friends along too.

How do you keep Odin safe and happy while caravanning? Any tips for other dog owners?

We use Tiegear pegs and a long rope to create a makeshift zipline for him to run around while staying tethered. We make sure he gets lots of runs and playtime, and sometimes he even sleeps in the bed with us—so he’s definitely a bit of a princess!

What drone do you use/recommend for travellers wanting to capture amazing photos and videos of their trip?

I recommend the DJI Air series—super compact and easy to charge via USB, which is perfect for traveling.

What are your go-to meals when caravanning? Do you have any favourite camping recipes?

Irena always handles the cooking, and my absolute favorite is her garlic pasta—it’s so good! We also love making pizzas on the Weber.
