Adelaide’s best days are the slow ones. Museums, galleries, gardens and the Central Market make up our top five things to do in the city — an easy, walkable loop we return to every time.

From Dundee Beach to the Sapphire Caost, these five Australian beaches made us stop for a while. Real coastal favourites that are relaxed and worth the drive every time.

From drive-in towns to riverside camps, these are our hidden gems of Outback Queensland. Small places with big character, strung along quiet highways where the days stretch long.

We’ve gathered a few favourite posts that still stand out on our travels — from Snake Creek and Robin Falls to Lightning Ridge and the RFDS airstrips. Simple stories, still worth revisiting.

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.

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.

Territory Wildlife Park at Berry Springs offers a relaxed way to explore Top End wildlife. We wandered open trails, watched birds in free flight, and learned how wetlands, forests, and savannahs shape life in the Northern Territory.

Banka Banka Station offers a peaceful slice of NT outback life. From the quiet waterhole walk to friendly donkeys and starry nights. A relaxed, red-dirt stop that invites slow travel and longer stays.

We outran a Queensland rainband and settled into Longreach for a couple of steady days. Dry roads, river walks, and a town full of outback character made it a welcome stop after the dash north.
