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.
Lightning Ridge: Lush Ridge and Muddy Boots
We rolled into Lightning Ridge for the third time — this visit a little muddier than usual. After dodging puddles and slick backroads, both the moho and Jimny looked rally-ready and well-travelled.
Chasing Warm Waters and Big Feeds
From Burren Junction’s steaming thermal pool to Rowena’s country pub, this stretch of Northern NSW delivered good food, warm water, and muddy roads—proof that slow travel still brings the best surprises.
Mataranka & Bitter Springs: A Well-Deserved Oasis
After weeks in the dry, dusty outback, arriving at Bitter Springs and Mataranka felt like stepping into paradise. We decided to spend a full week here, giving ourselves the time to relax, recharge, and soak in the natural beauty of the region.
