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.
A Couple of Old Favourites
Our journey from Warrnambool to Cobar marked the beginning of a new chapter, chasing the sun and warmer days.
Big Changes!
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.
Wannon Falls, Still Beautiful
Without the usual cascade of water, the sheer basalt cliffs took centre stage, revealing the volcanic history that shaped this area.
Murtoa Stick Shed
The Murtoa Stick Shed is definitely worth a visit. It’s not just a piece of agricultural history, but a hidden gem for architecture and history lovers alike. We were so glad we made the detour to check it out!
Lake Lascelles
We pulled into Lake Lascelles in Hopetoun, Victoria, planning for a quick stop. Instead, we found ourselves lingering, drawn in by the peaceful atmosphere and the stunning lakeside setting.
Wine and Water Views
We swapped red dirt for lake views at Lake Lonsdale, with a visit to Seppelt’s Great Western for a dose of history, cool underground cellars, and a cheeky drop or two of sparkling shiraz.
The Shakedown Begins
Our first motorhome trip from Geelong to Eden was equal parts chaos and discovery. We packed too much, sang off-key in a winery, and learned fast that the road has its own rhythm.
