Caravan of Courage is an annual road trip, travelled by Australian comedians Hamish Blake and Andy Lee. There have been a total of four road trips, the latest two being both aired on their radio show and combined into a television special, the first two were broadcast as a segment on the talk show Rove.
Every Caravan of Courage takes two weeks to complete. It sees Hamish and Andy travel across numerous states or countries and meet people along the way and participate in numerous activities. The caravan is usually named; the American caravan was named Abravan Lincoln and the Great Britain and Ireland caravan was named Sir Vancealot. While visiting numerous tourist attractions, Hamish and Andy take unusual routes through the smaller towns, for example in 2009, skipping the inner states of the USA.
In 2007, the caravan of courage was thought up by Hamish and Andy who used it on their radio program, the duo wanted to have "The Peoples Holiday". Over a two-week period, they travelled 4000 km from Melbourne to Queensland. They were met in Queensland by Rove McManus and his live talk show as production moved to Queensland for the episode which feature was the caravan of courage.
In 2008, after being taunted by emails claiming they did not travel far enough. Hamish and Andy after first rejecting the idea decided they would once again bring out the caravan and set out from Melbourne to Darwin in two weeks. They set out on 27 October 2008. The trip was named "Who Dares Dar-Wins" a parodied title of the very popular Australian show Who Dares Wins.
Hamish & Andy's American Caravan of Courage was the third installment in the Caravan of Courage franchise. The road trip was travelled by Australian comedy duo Hamish and Andy and their caravan called Abravan Lincoln. The two-week adventure was aired on their radio show and was made into a television special for the Australian Network Ten.

The trip aired on Australian radio every weekday as part of their program The Hamish & Andy Show which streams across numerous radio stations across Australia. Parts of the trip were combined and aired as a special on Network Ten
