One Way Travel Throughย The Australian Outback

Or “How To Tie Yourself In Knots Without Even Trying”

Jump To Articles – Click Here!


“One way travel, what’s that?”, I hear you ask.

Well, we have a strange obsession with not re-tracing our steps. If we take one road to a destination, we’ll move mountains to avoid driving the same road again.

Strange but true. This is fine if travelling between towns for example. But let’s scale this up a bit.

Imagine you’ve travelled East-West across the Nullarbor Plain. A journey of about 2,500km. Now you decide to go to Alice Springs via Adelaide. So you drive West-East back across the Nullarbor Plain. All good so far.

But… once in Alice Springs you think, “There’s so much more to see in Western Australia. We should go back and check it out”.

Normal people (if there’s such a thing) would drive back the way they came. Not us. We really didn’t want to re-trace our route.

So how else can you get into Western Australia if not via the Nullarbor Plain? There are two realistic routes:

  • Up over the top via the Tanami Track and the Kimberleys, or
  • Straight across from Alice Springs into the centre of the Goldfields in Western Australia, via The Great Central Road.

We chose the latter. And what a journey! One of the greatest drives in this country. Mind-blowing scenery and about as remote as it’s possible to get.

See, this is what’s great about “one way travel”. It forces you to go places you’ve never even heard of.

Of course, sometimes it ends badly. Some roads shown on your GPS either don’t exist or are private roads. But it’s not the end of the world – you’ve been somewhere new yet again.

So join us as we use “one way travel” to stumble uponย those unusual placesย . Hopefully we’llย give you a feel for the country too.

ย If you have any questions, pleaseย goย here. We’re happy to help.
