Early this year, we (Jake and Anna) moved our home base to the Gold Coast, and honestly… we hadn’t properly explored our new backyard yet. Then Insta360 reached out about the Insta360 X4, and it was the perfect excuse to finally do it properly—like locals. Jake had been hyping up the sand islands off Australia’s east coast since way back when he was in France, so we mapped out a plan, packed the X4s, and hit the road to share three places we were genuinely excited about. In this travel film we chase that classic Aussie road trip energy—sand, waves, and those “how is this real?” mornings—while capturing it all in 8K. We explore from K’gari (Fraser Island) in Queensland down toward Julian Rocks in Northern New South Wales, with moments that feel like a proper sand safari and sunrise scenes that make you stop and just take it in. The big takeaway: 8K isn’t just a spec—when you’re filming travel memories, it makes everything feel a whole lot crispier, and it lets you relive the details you’d normally miss.
