Frequently Asked Questions
What is Off the Main Road?
Off the Main Road is an Australian travel blog and photo journal where we share stories from life on the road. We travel the unbeaten paths, capturing the beauty, humour, and small-town charm found far from the main highways. You’ll find honest reflections, local tips, and plenty of dust in between.
Who writes Off the Main Road?
We’re Neil and Cameron, a couple travelling full-time around Australia in our motorhome with our four-legged co-pilot, Zoe. Together, we write and photograph our experiences…from quirky outback pubs to red-dirt roads and quiet riverside campsites. It’s part photo diary, part travel log, and part love letter to the wide open spaces of Australia.
Where have you travelled so far?
We’ve travelled through much of Victoria, Outback and Far North Queensland, the Northern Territory, and inland New South Wales. We’ve also spent time exploring South Australia’s wide landscapes and small towns.
Can we visit the places you write about?
Absolutely. Every post includes details on how to get there, what to see, and when to visit. So you can plan your own adventure. Whether it’s a road trip through the Gulf Country or a lazy stay by a country creek, we try to share everything we’ve learned firsthand.
How often do you post new blogs?
We post as we travel — sometimes weekly, sometimes when the dust settles and the Wi-Fi behaves. Each story is written on the road, so timing depends a bit on weather, distance, and how many photos we’ve taken that week. The best way to stay up-to-date is to subscribe to our newsletter. We promise not to spam you, and perhaps we’ll inspire your next adventure!
