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.
Street Art and Sea Breezes
Tumby Bay set the tone for this stretch of coastline, with striking street art, peaceful scenes at Yeldulknie Weir, and moody photos at the closed jetty. A gentle, creative break before Port Lincoln.
Whyalla to Cowell: Steel, Sea, and Small-Town Charm
From steel and sea to small-town charm, Whyalla and Cowell capture the contrasts of the Eyre Peninsula. Circular jetties, lighthouse rides, and a dash of coastal humour. This leg surprised us in all the right ways.
Hot Days, Warm Nights
We sweated through 42-degree days at Spear Creek Station but were rewarded with golden Flinders sunsets, quiet hikes past ancient stromatolites, and stony creek beds. Rugged, remote, and unexpectedly beautiful, heat and all.
Port Augusta: Where the Desert Meets the Sea
Port Augusta’s more than a pit stop. Between the gulf and the desert, we found Spear Creek sunsets, station stays, and outback landscapes that blend grit and beauty in equal measure.
Mining Tales and Mateship
We rolled into Moonta with good friends and found history, sandstone charm, and a camp full of laughs. Exploring the old copper mine and eerie slime pits gave us a glimpse into South Australia’s mining past.
Innes National Park: Cliffs, Coast and Two Wheels
A full day of riding through Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park took us from shipwrecks to cliff lookouts and steady ocean views. A simple, windswept stretch of coast perfect for slow exploring.
Southern Yorke Surprises
Coastal charm, striking silo art, and a slice of history! Our loop through Stansbury, Edithburgh and Wool Bay gave us quiet beaches, quirky sculptures, and a deeper look at South Australia’s hardworking past.
Crabs, History and Sunsets
Ardrossan turned on the charm with peak crab season, a warm bakery welcome, and a fascinating museum visit. We ended the day on the jetty at sunset, soaking up this friendly coastal town’s relaxed rhythm.
Port Willunga: Sea Breezes and Slow Days
Port Willunga gave us the perfect blend of beach time, wine country rides, and coastal charm. From vineyard-hopping on the bikes to salty swims and surreal art, this stay was all about slowing down and soaking in.
Victor Harbor: Granite, Gulls and Ocean Air
From the wild coastline of Cape Nelson to the peaceful shores of Meningie and dramatic boulders of Granite Island, this leg was full of quiet surprises, big skies and salt-sprayed walking trails worth the detour.
