Long term solo travel on a budget.
Visiting Tasmania has always been at the top of my bucket list and I was delighted when I finally got the chance, meeting a friend there to drive around the whole island in 3 adventure-filled days. It's not an easy feat, and I'd recommend spending as much time there as possible to see everything this... Continue Reading →
I can't think of a more famous drive in Australia than the Great Ocean Road. It officially stretches 243km from Torquay to Allansford but a lot of people will make the drive from Melbourne to Adelaide over a week or two. Think endless beaches, dramatic cliffs and the world-famous Twelve Apostles. This is one you... Continue Reading →
As someone who prefers mountains and forest over beaches and palm trees, leaving the coastline of New South Wales and heading inland to Kosciuszko National Park was a dream for me. I was sceptical about seeing actual mountains in Australia but this place did not disappoint and it's well worth the drive. Thredbo As we... Continue Reading →

If you're looking for budget accommodation in the heart of the city with plenty of free... Continue Reading →
Western Australia is massive. It covers 2,529,875 km2, or one third, of Australia, that's seriously huge. If it was its own country it would be in the Top 10 biggest countries in the world, you could fit England inside it 20 times, or Texas 4 times. Most of the population lives in Perth which is...

After driving around 1,300km north in 8 days to swim with whale sharks it was finally time to turn around and make our way back home as fast as possible so Nigel the Nissan didn't cost us any more money. It was an impossibly long, boring and uneventful drive made marginally more exciting with the random... Continue Reading →
1250km north of Perth at the very tip of Australia's west coast is a small town called Exmouth, famous for giving travellers the opportunity to swim with whale sharks. If you don't already know what a whale shark is, let me educate you. About whale sharks The whale shark is a slow, graceful filter-feeding shark... Continue Reading →
