25.01.2022 Mirror reflections: nice view to wake up to. Billabong on the Paroo, near Wanaaring (halfway between Bourke and Tibooburra). #outbackNSW #ultimateroadtripsaustralia
23.01.2022 Time to #ReclaimSummer There's never been a better time to go back to Mallacoota. If you've never been there before, you're in for a treat. Read all about my recent visit in Australian Traveller magazine. https://www.australiantraveller.com//return-to-mallacoota/
22.01.2022 Is bigger really that much better? Our latest Two for the Road column in Escape about the best camper trailers.
21.01.2022 Worth travelling for: Maccassan Beach. Pitch your tent with uninterrupted views and the chances are you'll have the entire place to yourself. It's the ultimate road less travelled.
21.01.2022 Campsite with a view we didn’t stay at number 22. Pamamaroo Lake; most of the Menindee Lakes are still dry, except this one, which is full to the brim. Great beachside camping (would be the perfect sunset spot) but it was blowing a gale so we opted to camp riverside in neighbouring Kinchega National Park. So many great places to pitch a tent on the river road. #DarlingRiverRun #UltimateRoadTripsAustralia
20.01.2022 Dealing with uninvited guests of the wild and bitey kind is part and parcel of life on the road. Two for the Road on how to deal with the wilder side of road tripping https://www.escape.com.au//3e04bfa27963b611afc10137b7a3ac0b?

17.01.2022 This is why I love the outback: it’s all about the space. #DarlingRiverRun #ultimateroadtripsaustralia
16.01.2022 Camped by a billabong. Not sure if they’re coolabah trees and no jumbucks in sight, but now I can’t get the song out of my head. On the Paroo. #camplife #outbackNSW #ultimateroadtripsaustralia

14.01.2022 Exploring a few of the gorges in Mutawintji National Park. Looks and feels just like central Australia, but it’s in western NSW, a bonus for us east coasters hemmed in by Covid-closed borders. #outbackNSW #ultimateroadtripsaustralia
12.01.2022 There’s never been a better time for a road trip along the Great Ocean Road. https://www.escape.com.au//793a5e970d43017eb37587160848e02e

10.01.2022 As far as road trips go they don't get much bigger and better than the Savannah Way, Cairns to Broome across the top of Australia. Thrilled to find an edited extract from my latest book, Ultimate Road Trips Australia, in the travel pages of the Weekend Australian this morning (yes I know, I'm a day late opening the paper!). If you missed it subscribers can read the story at https://www.theaustralian.com.au//9309c72384ba823a2f242a28
10.01.2022 Two for the Road, from last week's Escape: https://www.escape.com.au//a9e42e8fe0c07c06ed5cf50b105dfc2
10.01.2022 Love going to extremes? Camping at Lake Eyre will take you to a new low! One of my recent stories about places worth the journey in Escape.
08.01.2022 Stretching my wings at last! Waking up away from home for the first time in a long time on my first road trip out of lockdown. Snapped this morning in beautiful Mallacoota in East Gippsland. Feels so good to be back on the road, even if it’s only for a couple of days! #ultimateroadtripsaustralia
06.01.2022 Saving the best till last and finishing off our western rivers NSW road trip with a night camped beside the river in the town where I grew up. On the banks of the mighty Bogan in Nyngan, in the heart of the Bogan Shire. It’s also home to the Big Bogan, one of the best big things in the state (although I might be biased) #selfiealert #outbackNSW #ultimateroadtripsaustralia
05.01.2022 With the closure of the NSW/Victoria border i’m thankful I was able to squeeze in an interstate road trip when I did. Playing peekaboo with one of the resident budgies at our campsite in Mutawintji National Park last week. This park is a birdwatchers paradise. #outbackNSW #ultimateroadtripsaustralia
04.01.2022 If the thought of waking up to a million-dollar view and paying nothing for it sounds like your perfect holiday, this camping spot is for you.
04.01.2022 Another day, another beautiful campsite on the Darling. This one’s at Tilpa weir. #DarlingRiverRun #ultimateroadtripsaustralia
03.01.2022 For those that enjoy being on two wheels just as much as four. Australia's favourite motorcycling magazine has been reborn, with my partner, Bill McKinnon, (who was editor of the magazine from 1985 to 1988) bringing it back to life as a digital archive of the best writing from Australia's best motorcycle writers.
02.01.2022 It’s not a real outback road trip unless you come home covered in dust #outbackNSW #ultimateroadtripsaustralia
01.01.2022 If these walls could talk I think they would sing. Rock art at Gundabooka National Park near Bourke. #DarlingRiverRun #UltimateRoadTripsAustralia
