The Newell Highway Road Trip: In Polaroids

June 4, 2014

As most of you will know, last Saturday I embarked on an epic three-day Newell Highway Road Trip to relocate from Melbourne to Brisbane. I had the best of intentions really I did - I googled my daily route and new exactly where to stop for the best photo ops and early morning walks, hell, I even wrote a post about whether or not the inland drive was actually even touristy and not just a flat expanse of monotonous bitumen as popular discourse would have you believe. Well, turns out pop. ... Read More

Road Trip Essentials

May 29, 2014

  In little over 24 hours, my Dog Poppy and I will be dousing ourselves in essential travel oils, donning our best black leggings and climbing behind the wheel of my trusty V-Dub to commence the long and arduous road-trip up the Newell Highway from Melbourne to Brisbane. My car is nearly exploding with boxes, bags, paintings and all sorts of random paraphernalia, but these key road trip essentials will be sitting pretty by my side incase of emergency. Here are some modern road-trip ... Read More

April 17, 2014

Last week I gave you some top-notch reasons why Campervans are cool.  This week it's only fair I flip the coin to the other side of the argument (y'know, in the interest of journalistic integrity 'n all) to bring you some reasons why Campervans are not cool.

April 10, 2014

What was once the wonderland of retirees, motor-homing is seeing a massive resurgence among us gen y-ers, especially with the range of vehicle options available to suit all budgets. As I take on New Zealand in my ginormous Apollo Camper, I am happy (and slightly shocked) to report that I am a fan of driving holidays, and the following reasons are why camper vans are cool. [SIDENOTE]  It's important to remember when you're travelling in a camper van you're effectively the human equivalent of a ... Read More

Road Trip Great Ocean Road: Know Before You Go

February 10, 2014

The Great Ocean Road curves around the cliffs as if it were a sea serpent. An impossibly black, endlessly long sea serpent glistening in the unrelenting sun.  This is one of the world’s most famous coastal routes, a dizzying drive in Southern Victoria which hugs sky-high rocks vertically colliding with the ocean below. A drive where the laid-back and rugged landscapes melt into the ferocious, turquoise waters of the Pacific. Road Trip Great Ocean Road: An Introduction Who To Take: Take your ... Read More
