Australian Travel Guides by Off the Main Road

Welcome to our little roadside stop. The Off the Main Road shop.

Here you’ll find everything we’ve made for travellers who prefer quiet roads, small towns, and a slower kind of adventure.
Slow-travel guides, route planners, travel journals, fine art photographic prints, and our Touring Routes of Australia sticker collection.

Everything is written, photographed and designed from the places we’ve wandered ourselves.

All content on Off the Main Road — including our guides, blog posts, and travel advice — is based on our own experiences at the time of visiting. Road conditions, park access, and local businesses can change without notice, so always check current details before you travel. We recommend making your first stop in every town the local Visitor Information Centre. They’re a great source of up-to-date advice on road closures, tours, local events, and hidden spots you might otherwise miss. Travel smart, plan ahead, and use our stories as a guide — not gospel. The joy of being off the main road is finding your own way, safely and well-prepared.
