Outback Adventure Travel - Road Trips In Outback Australia

Following The Old Ghan, Part 1. Into The Unknown

Step back in time to 1950. You’ve said yes to a three month stint in the Red Centre. But first you have to get there on the Old Ghan!

Gary Junction Road camping spots. Where are they? What facilities are available and so on? All of your questions answered here.

Once you reach Gary Junction from the east, where to next? We chose the drive through to Marble Bar. An extraordinary journey.

Gary Junction Road runs across two deserts from the red centre of the N.T. into northern W.A. One of the great drives in Australia.

Pooncarie is one of those small towns you could drive through without really noticing. Stop & have a look around, it has a long history.

It’s one thing to see footage of the NSW drought in the media. But it’s depressing and frustrating when you’re standing in the midst of it.

Tanami Road has a reputation of being boring, monotonous. We can’t figure out why, we loved it! A road trip across the Red Centre.

We visit Wolfe Creek Crater, near the western end of the Tanami Road in WA. The real story is far better than the movie script!

Binns Track from the Plenty Highway to the Ross Highway winds through the Harts and East MacDonnell Ranges. Mountains in the desert!

The Plenty Highway is an excellent way to lead you into the magnificent Red Centre of Australia. Just be prepared for a rough ride!
