Travel Destination Guides

The south coast of NSW is a busy tourist Mecca, but just a few kilometres inland you'll find verdant bush, rushing mountain streams, near-deserted campsites and some great 4WD touring.

Across the top of Australia is a road steeped in history and filled with opportunities to experience vastly different national parks that mean it's not just a way to get somewhere, its  a travel destination in and of itself.

  

There’s a lot more to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia than the national park, as I discovered on a nine-day expedition as low down as the Bridle Track and as high up as Arkaroola. Airborne tyres, pristine stargazing and unsettling silences are all around the corner.

 

Kalkajaka National Park, comprises 780 hectares and includes several other huge piles of black rocks seen in the surrounding area.

Immersed in history that dates back to the Devonian period, Windjana Gorge is one of the most picturesque gorges in the Napier Ranges.

 

Deep within the north-western corner of outback New South Wales exists a realm of red dirt, Aussie battlers, long-fallen dreams of settlement, and endless 4WD and camping opportunities. Here’s a glimpse of its highlights.

 

Winding its way through the Alpine National Park, the Great Alpine Road is full of beauty and areas to explore.

The west Coast of Tasmania has much to offer the Aussie camper as Ron and Viv Moon relate.

We have put together the ‘classic’ big things across Australia that you just might want to add to your next road trip.

 

You're spoiled for choice when it comes to top spots to drop a tinny out west, so we figured we'd narrow it down a little and share two of our top trailerboat trips from the western shores.
