A&U acquires Trip in a Van’s Bucket List Experiences

Allen & Unwin (A&U) has acquired world rights to Trip in a Van’s Bucket List Experiences by Bec and Justin Lorrimer.

‘After seven years of full-time travel in their van with their three kids, Bec and Justin Lorrimer are fairly confident they have seen the best of Australia. They have lapped the country four times and travelled more than 280,000 kilometres,’ said the publisher. ‘In the same C+ flexi and full colour format as the bestselling The Complete Trip in a Van Guide to Australia, these are the Lorrimer’s hand-picked must-see experiences for those who are short on time or would love a new challenge. Family day trips, new beaches to explore, breath-taking landscapes, quirky remote pubs, waterholes, sunsets…all these trips have special meaning to this intrepid clan, shared with glorious photos and tips on how to get there and what to do.’

Bec Lorrimer said: ‘After experiencing the incredible beauty and adventure of travelling Australia firsthand, I’ve created this book to inspire you to chase your own unforgettable bucket list moments across this amazing country. Our favourite thing to do is a family friendly hike to a waterfall or swimming hole. It’s not only fun and adventurous, but it’s a wonderful way to connect with nature, create lasting memories and encourage our kids to enjoy the outdoors.’

Publisher Sally Heath said: ‘It was impossible to work on this book and not want to leave the office early for a spur of the moment long weekend, or be distracted by dreaming of the next getaway.’

Trip in a Van’s Bucket List Experiences is scheduled for publication in November 2025.
