Have you ever found yourself locked out of your van in the middle of nowhere with only a soldering iron for company? We sure did! Join us for a laugh-out-loud recount of our Family Travel Podcast Road Trip as we navigate the misadventures and triumphs of exploring Australia's breathtaking landscapes. Our recent escapade in Larrmah had us grappling with a van lockout, a hint of mystery thanks to a notorious Netflix documentary, and the realisation that carrying multiple sets of keys is a travel necessity. But fear not, our spirits were lifted by our two free drinks waiting for us at the Highway Inn!
Come along for a whimsical ride with Mick, the local groundsman, as he introduces us to the delightful world of bowerbirds and the colorful eccentricities of Australian slang. We recount the unexpected joys of roadside relaxation—complete with poolside lounging and deliciously affordable food—and the spontaneous decision to extend our stay with the promise of more drink vouchers. As we patch up our window and secure that elusive gas bottle, we wrap up this episode with a reminder of the joys and challenges of life on the road. Embrace the unexpected, cherish the camaraderie, and revel in the simple triumphs that make every journey memorable.

We've hit the road south from Darwin after an incredible 3 months in the Top End! We set up camp in Katherine for a few nights to experience 2 must-do activities that we have never done before including a visit to Katherine Outback Experience, owned and operated by Tom Curtain. This tour is fantastic and gives you a great insight into daily life on an outback farm in Katherine. We watched the horses and working dogs being trained, fed the farm animals and Katie even learned how to crack a whip! Look out! 

The highlight of our stay was the wonderful Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) boat tour. We chose the Nit Nit Dreaming 2 Gorge Tour and were blown away by the incredible beauty of the gorge. We can't believe in all our years traveling we have never stopped to visit this spectacular National Park. 

Plus, we camp up at a quite Hipcamp on the outskirts of town, and spend a night at the National Park campground.

After hearing so many great reviews about this Top End holiday park from other travellers and Northern Territory locals alike, it was time to give it a try for ourselves. 

From the moment you arrive at Tumbling Waters you're transported to a tropical paradise. Set on 100 acres of beautiful natural bushland, there’s plenty of space for everyone, whether you’ve got a big rig, a tent, or a rooftop camper. A few days here might not be enough!

During out stay we day trip to Crab Claw Island for an awesome seafood lunch, and experience one of the best tours in the Top End, heading out with Northern Territory Airboats for an epic ride across the floodplains.

We say goodbye to Uluru and drive 260km to Kings Creek Station, a rustic campground and cattle station, famous for their camel burgers, located on the boundary of Watarrka National Park. We set up camp for 4 nights and explore the various hikes and activities available within the National Park, including the beautiful and fairly easy Kings Creek hike, and the 6km moderate Kings Canyon Rim Walk which is a must do bucket list experience when visiting Australia's Red Centre! 

We enjoy a night at the Discovery Parks Kings Canyon Resort to experience the beautiful art installation, Light Towers, by Bruce Munro, then set off early the next day towards the West MacDonnell Ranges. 

It's pitted as one of Australia's worst outback roads, the infamous Mereenie Loop, AKA the CARAVAN KILLER! Katie takes up the challenge and tows the van along the entire 160km of dirt, corrugations and washouts... what could possibly go wrong?

We're camped up at the Ayers Rock Resort Campground and book in for the best experience we've had, riding bicycles around Uluru! If you're not travelling with your own bikes like us, it's so easy to hire a bike from Outback Cycling and take on the challenge of the 15km Uluru base circuit. What a breathtaking way to experience this incredibly huge monolith!

Plus we test out the Uluru Audio Guide - something we would highly recommend you purchase during your visit - and we cook up an Aussie inspired damper while watching the sunset over Uluru.

We get up early to witness the beautiful sunrise over Uluru, then it's off to explore incredible Kata-Tjuta, for one of our favourite family friendly hikes!

There is no other place in Australia like it! This week we're sharing THE BEST ways to experience Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, in Central Australia.

We set up camp at the Erldunda Roadhouse for a few nights at the Desert Oaks Campground, and Paul heads up to Alice Springs to get a new spare wheel and balance sorted on the 79. 

Then it's time to hit the road towards Uluru and the Ayers Rock Resort Campground. We stop to take in the impressive views at Mount Connor, also known as Fooluru, before filling up with water and fuel at Curtin Springs Station. Then it's on to Yulara where we snag the best campsite and we explore around the resort including all the facilities and activities on offer.

Plus we are excited to be supporting the brilliant work of the Royal Flying Doctor Service through a new partnership that will have you feeling good in more ways than one!  We've teamed up with Tim Adams Wines and Mr. Mick to donate $20 per dozen wines purchased using our FEELGOOD 15% discount code, to our favourite charity, the RFDS.

Once our heart rates settle down, we make a plan to unhitch the van and change the tyre on the side of the highway. What a feat in less than ideal conditions... heat, thousands of flies and a sloping run off, made jacking up the 79 an effort in itself! 

We limp into Marla and sort a spare tyre from the local repairer, and enjoy an impromptu overnighter at the Marla Travellers Rest Roadhouse, before hitting the road again early the next morning. But our vehicle troubles didn't stop with the flat, as we experience uncontrollable shaking through the steering at speeds over 70km per hour, so it's back to Marla to try and figure out what on earth is going on with the 79!  Despite all the challenges this week we are reminded of the incredible generosity of others, and are so grateful for the help we received in such trying circumstances. 

Plus we are excited to be supporting the brilliant work of the Royal Flying Doctor Service through a new partnership that will have you feeling good in more ways than one!  We've teamed up with Tim Adams Wines and Mr. Mick to donate $20 per dozen wines purchased using our FEELGOOD 15% discount code, to our favourite charity, the RFDS.
