Discover the lesser-known wonders of Australia with our latest updates.
Discover the lesser-known corners of Australia with our latest stories. We travel by road through the outback, along the coast and across the bush, sharing real moments from places often left off the map. Join us as we uncover hidden gems, quiet campsites and the kind of adventures that happen when you wander off the main road.
If you’re planning a road trip through Outback Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory, Victoria or New South Wales, you’ll find plenty of stories from the tracks and towns along the way. From remote creeks and gorges to small country pubs and station stays, these posts share the people and places that make travelling off the main road worth it.
Shifting Gears in Bogantungan
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.
Barcaldine: Stories Beneath the Trees
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.
Charleville, Slow and Social
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.
Burgers, Burnt Pubs and Bush Camps
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.
Charleville
Charleville keeps proving there’s more to the outback than just red dirt. A date farm in the desert and caves tucked away on a cattle station—two places we won’t forget anytime soon.
Rockhampton Rhythm
We spent five relaxed days in Rockhampton with favourite brunches at Riverston Tea Rooms, exploring the Railway Museum, and soaking up the creative buzz at the Art Gallery. A perfect blend of history, art, and wide-open skies.
