- [Stephen] Alrighty, before we head off
Jess said I need to go check the luggage,
see if we've packed enough stuff.
So she said check out hers.
Okay...
that's a bit of stuff.
All right.
Hunter's.
Uff!
I mean, I'm gonna say a little bit excessive
but let's check out mine.
(camera lens shifting)
Oh, I see where she's trying to save space on the luggage.
What is that?
- I don't know which one to choose!
What do you think?
(Jess chuckles)
- [Stephen] You just pick one.
Alrighty, Hunter, we need to save space.
What are we going for, white?
Yeah?
Or shall we go for yellow one?
(soft flute music)
- (baby cooing) I'm pretty torn Dad.
White goes with everything
but yellow goes with swimmers.
Why not both?
- You're just like your mother.
(upbeat music)
(bag zips)
(bags thudding)
- (baby cooing) Grab all the hats Mom.
- [Jess] We've just realized that it's been six months
since we've been on a plane.
And the last time we were on a plane,
we were heading back from Hawaii
and little Hunter was still in my belly.
And since then we've bought a house,
we've built a nursery, we've had a baby.
- [Stephen] (chuckles) And Hunter is now
10 weeks old. - [Jess] 10 weeks old.
- And we're about to head off on our first little adventure.
We're going up inside Western Australia to the top
to a place called Broome.
It's about two and a half hour flight.
- It's tropical.
It's 30 degrees and sunny every single day
that we're gonna be there.
This is her first time that she's going
to experience like warm weather.
First time we can put her in like a little dress,
a little shorts, a little T-shirt.
I'm very excited about that.
- Take her to the pool.
- There's a lot of things we're excited about.
- First, I'm going on a plane.
Let's just start with that.
- We just packed and we are impressed.
I wanna show you.
So these are the two travel bags that we always take with us
even before Hunter.
And we were able to put our stuff plus a little new section
for Hunter in there all fit.
And then the two additional things is just her travel cot
and her pram, which are actually free.
So if you have an infant when you flying Qantas,
you can actually bring a car, a pram,
and a car seat all for free, which we didn't know about.
And we thought that was pretty cool.
And then we have a little collection here
of things for Hunter on the plane,
luckily she only 10 weeks.
So this year the most entertainment ever which is perfect.
And then I guess we just have over here.
All our camera gear again in the bags that we normally take.
The only difference is now there's a couple of nappies,
a couple of wipes, ready to go.
- [Stephen] How are you feeling, feeling good?
- Oh my gosh. I'm so excited.
She's sleeping right now.
Do you wanna see her?
Hunter.
- [Stephen] (whispering) she doesn't even know
what's about to happen.
- When she wakes up we're gonna go to the airport.
- (baby cooing) Hurry up and pack the car.
(upbeat music)
(music dies down)
Alrighty, bags are all packed, heading to the airport,
and we're all super thankful
that we live in Western Australia
'cause our state borders have been closed.
No one from over East can come in.
So we're kind of in this little bubble and we've had,
I think, over a hundred days since community transmission.
So our Premier who runs our state has made flights cheap
within WA to kind of promote everyone
to go explore your own backyard.
And that's how we're able to go up to Broome today.
- [Jess] Feels so weird being back at the airport.
(distant chatter)
- [Stephen] Quick cuddles with aunt.
- Yeah, hello baby.
Come on.
She doesn't know what's gonna happen.
I'm gonna miss you. - [Jess] Bubba!
I'm gonna miss you so much, you big girl.
Oh, hello.
What is the world?
- [Jess] (gasps) This is called the airport.
- Yeah.
(Stephen chuckles)
- This is the place that takes you
to all these different amazing places.
- Look at the little blondie.
(wheels rolling on pavement)
- [Stephen] You got some additional baggage there,
which we've never done before.
- This is so exciting.

I wanna go on my vacation.
- She already got her feet out.

Now, she's strapped in.

(baby cooing)
- [Stephen] Yup, this is the life.
Officially on vacation.
- So early last week
this little one started swimming lessons.
Sorry.
(distant chatter)
You're practicing in the pool.
Yay!
Are you ready to have a dip in a pool, Bubba?
- Can you just show everyone what you've been learning?
(Jess gasps)
Oh, you're in the pool, Bubba!
(water ripples)
Now, you're on vacation.
- What do you think of the pool?
Little feet.
All right, Hunter.
This is your first vacation pool...
I know right now you're not fazed
but this is to future Hunter.
I bet you, when you're like a couple of years older,
we're gonna be jet lag and you will be like, dad,
I need to go to the pool.
I just want to swim.
So this is for future proof.
- She's learnt to do this.
(laughter)
- Her classes...
- To just enjoy the water.
- Her classes are singing nursery rhymes.
- And learning to enjoy the water.

we've parked our pram.
How funny does it look?
Like look at all these cars
and then our little spot.
- Hey, this is one of the most beautiful sunsets here
on the West coast.
Do you wanna come up?
- Ready for that?
Hunter?
So this is cable beach.
One of the most famous beaches here in Australia.
And do you know what is so special about it?
Look behind us right now.
See it?
- There's some camels.
So we actually came here a couple of years ago,
just me and Jess.
Hunter wasn't even like a thought at the time.
And we actually went on the camel ride.
It's a really cool experience.
You go up and down the beach and there's this bit
where there's a bit of a mirror
'cause of the water and it's spectacular.
Definitely the best way to see a sunset.
And I didn't think we'd be here two years later with...
- With little Bubba.
Just realize that you guys are matching, aren't you?
(Stephen chuckles) - Oh, yeah.
All right, this is risky.
We've decided to bring fish and chips down to a beach.
I see seagulls everywhere.
Hold it, there's one coming.
No, no, no.
(chuckling)
- I just wanna have a nice meal on the beach.
- Always.
Yeah, I know that Hunter.
