Stonehenge might not be on every traveller’s list, but it should be. It’s a true outback experience—laid-back, welcoming, and a reminder of why we love hitting the road.

We rely on highways for travel, but for many people living remotely, these same roads double as runways that could save a life.

Quilpie might be a small town, but it delivers big when it comes to outback charm and incredible views.

Charleville keeps proving there’s more to the outback than just red dirt. A date farm in the desert and caves tucked away on a cattle station—two places we won’t forget anytime soon.

Breaking down is never fun, but if it’s going to happen, better in town than out in the middle of nowhere.

Chinchilla Weir is an ideal stop if you’re looking for an easy, no-fuss camp with a beautiful setting.

If you’re passing through, make sure to visit the Miles Historical Village Museum—you’ll leave with a much better understanding of the area’s past.

This small town on the banks of the Balonne River had already captured our hearts during our first stop, and this time, we were ready to explore even further.

As huge fans of space and science, this iconic landmark was a definite must-see, and it did not disappoint.

This incredible railway depot is one of the few remaining roundhouses in Australia, and stepping inside felt like stepping back in time.

The Murtoa Stick Shed is definitely worth a visit. It’s not just a piece of agricultural history, but a hidden gem for architecture and history lovers alike. We were so glad we made the detour to check it out!

If you’re ever passing through, be sure to stop by the Woomelang Shearing Shed and check out the silo art trail. It’s a rare chance to connect with Australia’s rural past and witness the community’s dedication to preserving its story.

We pulled into Lake Lascelles in Hopetoun, Victoria, planning for a quick stop. Instead, we found ourselves lingering, drawn in by the peaceful atmosphere and the stunning lakeside setting.

Barmera is a small town but has everything you need—good coffee, a well-stocked IGA, and a few great spots to eat.

Farrell Flat is the kind of place you could easily drive past without a second thought—but you’d be missing out.

We stopped by Chateau Yaldara for a tasting and quickly realised this wasn’t just another Barossa winery—it’s an experience.

Driving into Wirrabura, we immediately spotted the towering artwork, a stunning addition to South Australia’s Silo Art Trail.

Parachilna is remote, with sweeping views of the desert plains and the Flinders Ranges in the distance. There’s not much in town beyond the hotel and the old railway siding, but that’s part of the appeal. It’s a place that feels untouched, steeped in history, and well worth a visit.

For us, Leigh Creek was a fascinating and slightly eerie stop. It’s a town that tells a story of industry, change, and resilience—worth visiting for anyone wanting to see a different side of the outback.

With no set plans, we took the opportunity to explore the area on the motorbike, winding through backroads and old settlements that barely make it onto the map.
