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.
Leigh Creek
For us, Leigh Creek was a fascinating and slightly eerie stop. It’s a town that tells a story of industry, change, and resilience—worth visiting for anyone wanting to see a different side of the outback.
Carrieton and Johnburg
Carrieton and nearby Johnburg are quiet country towns in South Australia with a strong sense of history. There’s not much happening, but that’s what makes them worth the stop.
