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.
Bourke: Where the Darling Tells the Story
Five rain-soaked days at Nyngan Weir and then north to Bourke, the Darling River’s great port, Fred Hollows’ resting place, an Afghan mosque in the outback, and a town that rewards anyone who slows down.
Cobar: Second Time Lucky
A couple of days in Cobar gave us history, quiet station camping and a steady outback pace. From the museum to Glenhope’s big skies, it’s a relaxed stop between the central west and the far west.
