A couple decided to take their modem on an adventurous road trip after their three young children refused to join them on their 'boring' day.

Australian parents Cassie and Chris wanted to take the family-of-five on a day trip to Warrnambool - a city along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria on Sunday.

But the pair were quickly met with the response 'that's so boring, I don't want to go'.

And so in a hilarious turn of events, the parents unplugged and took the internet router with them, as they documented their day together at the beach, amusement park and playground.

'Chris and I decided that instead of taking three unappreciative kids out, we let the ones who didn't want to go stay home and took our most over worked family member for a well deserved day out... our modem,' Cassie said.

'Modem had a fantastic day not being used by the kids and it was lovely not to listen to constant bickering. The only complaining was Evan being mortified that we took our modem out in public.'

The mother shared a series of pictures of their road trip on Facebook, and her post has since been 'liked' more than 11,000 and 'shared' by over 7,800 people.

The couple has left thousands of people in stitches, with many describing them as 'heroes'.

'Love it... Modem looks so happy on its day off. Wonder how the kids went with their day off,' Kellie said, with laughing emoticons.

Carla said: 'This is actually the best thing ever.'

Sara said: 'Love it looks like modem had a wonderful day living the life.'

Jenny said: 'Parenting goals right here.'

And Pam said: 'You win the internet today, this is the best.'

Other parents said they were going to do the same thing to their own children if they refuse to go out with them.
