Oops, wrong turn!
Looks like you’ve taken a detour to nowhere — but hey, getting lost is half the fun, right? While we can’t offer a map, we can point you towards some great posts to get you back on track. 🧭👇
Because sometimes the best stories start with, “We weren’t meant to end up here...”
Travelling full-time isn’t just sunsets and scenery. It’s dishes in a tiny sink, missing family, and finding space for your own head and heart. Here's how we stay balanced when the road feels long.
Barcaldine blends rich history with small-town charm. We stayed at a peaceful local park, visited the famous Tree of Knowledge, admired the mighty Comet windmill, and soaked up the stories that shaped this resilient outback town.
A peaceful few days along the Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail gave us quiet skies, curious art, and a dose of outback magic - including a visit to the healing circle that worked wonders for Zoe.
We reached Muttaburra just behind the rain, camped close to town, and met the towering Muttaburrasaurus. From fossils to the Centre of Queensland sign, this quiet little town gave us plenty to smile about.
A night of chicken races, rain, and school holiday chaos had us making a quick dash through Tambo, Blackall and Barcaldine — chasing dry ground and peaceful camps before heading into Queensland’s quieter heart.
Charleville gave us two slow weeks of outback charm, filled with friendly faces, hearty meals, and quiet mornings. From historic pubs to bilbies and bombers, there’s more here than first meets the eye.
Peaceful riverside camping, outback sunsets, and a surprise burger stop. Not every stop has to dazzle. Sometimes, a full belly and a calm creek are just right.
St George keeps pulling us back — and it’s easy to see why. Big skies, flowing rivers, great food and country charm make this town the perfect launchpad for exploring Queensland’s quiet, beautiful southwest.
Every now and then, you meet people on the road who feel like old friends. Mel and Susie’s bush poetry, humour, and warm-heartedness made us instant fans — and lifelong mates.
We rolled into Lightning Ridge for the third time — this visit a little muddier than usual. After dodging puddles and slick backroads, both the moho and Jimny looked rally-ready and well-travelled.
We’re chasing warmth in Northern NSW and Queensland’s hidden thermal pools — from the soothing hot springs at Burren Junction to the steamy delights of the north, each dip is a refreshing escape into nature.
Narrabri was a familiar dot on our map — we’d passed through before, but this time we decided to linger and take a closer look.
We rolled into Baradine with no big expectations and left a few days later completely charmed.
While in town, we couldn’t skip a quick visit to the Big Bogan — cheeky as ever and just as good for a second round of photos.
This was our second visit to Cobar, so we stayed for two nights this time to get a proper feel for the place.
Our journey from Warrnambool to Cobar marked the beginning of a new chapter, chasing the sun and warmer days.
Selling our house in Melbourne was one of the biggest decisions we’ve ever made — and one of the best. Letting go of bricks and mortar gave us the freedom to live life on the road full-time.
Without the usual cascade of water, the sheer basalt cliffs took centre stage, revealing the volcanic history that shaped this area.
We arrived dusty and travel-worn, but Alice Springs greeted us with warmth, colour and comfort. From quirky cafes to red desert sunsets — don’t believe everything you read about Alice.
Don’t rush Uluru — take a few days to soak in the stories, landscapes and stillness. We explored by foot, watched the rock glow at sunset, and came away with full hearts and red-tinged boots.
Massive, mysterious and far less crowded than Uluru, Kata Tjuṯa blew us away. We wandered among towering domes, soaked in the silence, and left feeling tiny, dusty, and full of quiet awe.
A breathtaking rim walk, dramatic sandstone cliffs, and a peaceful Garden of Eden — Kings Canyon delivered some of the most stunning outback views we've seen. A true Northern Territory highlight.
Often when travelling together it’s great to visit places individually so that we have a different point of view.
Red cliffs, cool swims and desert stillness — Ormiston Gorge delivers classic Outback beauty. Whether hiking the Pound Walk or spotting wallabies by the waterhole, this is a place that stays with you.
Nestled in the heart of the West MacDonnell Ranges, the Ochre Pits offer a fascinating glimpse into Australia’s rich cultural and natural history.
Nestled in the rugged beauty of the West MacDonnell Ranges, Standley Chasm is a natural wonder that left us in awe.
From railway tragedy in Bogantungan to the supermarket aisles of Emerald, this leg of our trip marked the shift from outback stillness to something closer to civilisation — with Carnarvon Gorge waiting just around the bend.
