Artesian bore water feels silky because of natural minerals like silica and magnesium. A mild sulphur smell is normal too, especially in hot water. It’s all part of the Outback hot spring experience.

The Cunnamulla Hot Springs are a relaxing stop beside the Warrego River. Clean facilities, varied pool temperatures and easy motorhome parking make them well worth a visit, especially in the cooler months.

St George keeps pulling us back — and it’s easy to see why. Big skies, flowing rivers, great food and country charm make this town the perfect launchpad for exploring Queensland’s quiet, beautiful southwest.

Every now and then, you meet people on the road who feel like old friends. Mel and Susie’s bush poetry, humour, and warm-heartedness made us instant fans — and lifelong mates.

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.

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.

Narrabri surprised us with its blend of geology, science and relaxed country charm — from Sawn Rocks to market scones and a slightly embarrassing moment at the Telescope Array. A simple, easy stop on the Newell Highway.

We rolled into Baradine with no big expectations and left a few days later completely charmed.

While in town, we couldn’t skip a quick visit to the Big Bogan — cheeky as ever and just as good for a second round of photos.

A couple of days in Cobar gave us history, quiet station camping and a steady outback pace. From the museum to Glenhope’s big skies, it’s a relaxed stop between the central west and the far west.

Our journey from Warrnambool to Cobar marked the beginning of a new chapter, chasing the sun and warmer days.

Selling our house in Melbourne was one of the biggest decisions we’ve ever made — and one of the best. Letting go of bricks and mortar gave us the freedom to live life on the road full-time.

Wannon Falls gave us a quiet pause west of Hamilton. Basalt cliffs, a deep gorge and short walks that fit neatly into a day on the road. A simple detour, but well worth the stop.

We’ve got some great news about our serious looking little girl :)

A quick stop in Coober Pedy revealed a town unlike anywhere else. Homes carved from rock, sunsets over the Breakaways, and a lesson in how far people will go to outsmart the desert.

We arrived dusty and travel-worn, but Alice Springs greeted us with warmth, colour and comfort. From quirky cafes to red desert sunsets — don’t believe everything you read about Alice.

What started as a pebble-eating mishap near Uluru turned into a race across the outback to save our girl, Zoe. With expert care and plenty of love, she’s now on the mend in Adelaide.

We returned to Uluru with fresh eyes, riding out for sunrise, circling the base, and watching rain turn the rock to copper. Quiet, powerful, and unforgettable—the red heart of Australia.

Massive, mysterious and far less crowded than Uluru, Kata Tjuṯa blew us away. We wandered among towering domes, soaked in the silence, and left feeling tiny, dusty, and full of quiet awe.

We hiked the Rim Walk at sunrise, cooled off in the Garden of Eden, and took to the skies for a birthday flight. Kings Canyon is vast, ancient, and one of the Territory’s true wonders.
