Welcome to Off the Main Road Magazine: The Outback Edition is Here
After months of planning, writing, proofing, and a very anxious wait for the first print copies to land, Off the Main Road Magazine is officially available in digital and print.
If you’ve been following along, you’ll know this has been a long time coming. If you’re new here, the short version is this: Off the Main Road Magazine is a glossy, photography-led magazine for slow travel through the outback and regional Australia, built from the real routes, campsites and stories of two full-time travellers on the road.
Inside the Outback Edition
Issue #1 is 68 pages covering outback Australia, the area we’ve spent the most time in over the last while.
Inside you'll find:
Across the Heart of Queensland, A full journey from Charleville to Cloncurry along the old stock routes
Journey: Due North, Tracing the Stuart Highway from Alice Springs up through the Territory
Gulf Country: The Other Outback, A look at one of the least-travelled corners of the country
A Traveller's Notes spread on the Matilda Way For anyone planning the drive themselves
A Few Days In: Charleville An extended feature on one of our favourite outback towns
Spotlight: Lightning Ridge Everything that makes it one of the strangest, most memorable stops on the map
Side Quest: Boulia, chasing the Min Min lights
Big Country: Close Up, a new recurring photography feature we're genuinely excited to share
Plus much, much more!
Every image in this issue was shot on the road, not sourced from a stock library.
Every story comes from lived experience, not a press release.
Neil’s photography runs through the whole thing, a lot of it images we've been sitting on for months, waiting for a format that could finally do them justice.
