Edith Falls – beautiful but closed This time our destination was Litchfield National Park. The morning was quite chilly, but we left Katherine without any major regrets. It was a 240-kilometer journey from Katherine to Batchelor. On the way to Bachelor, we stopped to see Edith Falls. Unfortunately, the trails were closed due to high water…
Katherine is a charming town located in the Northern Territory of Australia. Situated at the junction of the Katherine River and the Stuart Highway, this small town is often referred to as the gateway to the Top End, and for good reason. From the stunning natural wonders of Nitmiluk National Park to the rich cultural…
Outback camping in Australia is one of the best ways to see all the wonders that Australia has to offer while on a road trip. The distances between attractions can be vast, so in some cases, you may have to stop and camp overnight in the middle of nowhere. It’s important to know how to…
Mataranka – The Capital of Never Never Mataranka or should we call it “The capital of the Never Never” is located in the Northern Territory, 90 km south of Katherine. The famous hot springs are located in Elsey National Park and they are certainly worth visiting. Mataranka, located midway between Alice Springs to Darwin, is a must-visit…
Taylor Creek Camping On the way to Devils Marbles and Mataranka, we stopped at Ti Tree. It is a typical roadhouse on the way up, with many Aboriginal people around the place. Later on, we fueled up at Barrow Creek (population 11) and had a little surprise. There was a nice local, historic pub there…
Alice Springs is often considered the unofficial capital of the Red Centre, with a population of approximately 26,000 people, making it the second most populous town in the Northern Territory.

Agnes Creek – First Free Camping Following an action-packed four days in Coober Pedy, we set our sights on the Red Centre and began our journey northwards.

On the road to Coober Pedy After visiting Woomera, we hit the road again and headed towards Coober Pedy, a distance of only 250 kilometres. However, as we drove further north, the landscape became increasingly wild and untamed. For most of the journey, we drove through a barren desert with only occasional small shrubs to…
Crossing New South Wales and South Australia border Our plan was to spend a night in Port Augusta and then travel to Coober Pedy via Woomera. As we drove through the outskirts of Flinders Ranges, we were struck by the picturesque scenery. We learned that the ranges were perfect for hiking and 4WD driving and…
