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.
Cobbold Gorge: Corrugations to Calm
We explored Cobbold Gorge after a rugged drive from Forsayth. Floating along the calm waters and hiking to the glass bridge, we were captivated by the towering cliffs, wildlife, and serene beauty of this Queensland outback gem.
Undarra Lava Tubes: Underground Adventure
Exploring the Undara Lava Tubes was like stepping into another world…towering underground tunnels carved by ancient lava flows, part history, part geology, and all awe. A side quest well worth the detour.
Crocodylus Park: Croc Territory
Crocodylus Park in Darwin brought us face to face with the Territory’s wildest locals. From croc feedings to holding a baby reptile, this visit was thrilling, educational, and a little bit terrifying.
K’gari: Sand, Sky and Saltwater Magic
From freshwater lakes and towering rainforests to beach highways and shipwrecks, K’gari is the wild heart of Queensland’s coast. We toured, swam, floated, and flew, and left with sand in our souls.
