Surprisingly, you could easily spend a week in Broken Hill and not see the endless array of attractions. The experiences on offer range from art, history, food, and mining with a little bit of eccentric thrown in the mix. The town exists because of mining and would probably be one of the most significant mining sites in the world because […]

Episode 3: Broken Hill and Beyond
On this episode of our Australian Adventure we spend a few days in the sweltering heat at Broken Hill. We meet John, Broken Hill’s best tour guide, who takes us around most of the significant sights in Broken Hill. To escape the heat we hire a car and spend a day in the outback town of Silverton. Our departure is delayed […]
White Cliffs
When considering a visit to White Cliffs I got mixed reviews from people that had been there. It didn’t come too highly rated, the most common response was “I wouldn’t bother going there, there is nothing there” They were nearly correct, there isn’t a great deal to see, but I’m definitely glad we stopped in, and I would totally recommend […]
Cobar
For a town of it’s size, it is surprising what Cobar has to offer. Located right in the middle of NSW you get a taste of mining, farming, the outback, and some good old-fashioned country hospitality from the friendly locals. The tourism is primarily built on mining history, but there are a few modern attractions in the mix. Don’t miss […]
Episode 2: On the Edge of the Outback
In this episode we arrive in Cobar and explore the town on our folding Brompton bicycles. We then head to White Cliffs to check out the underground Motel. We are enjoying the outback… It’s hot and dry, the sky is the most amazing shade of blue, and the sunsets are spectacular! Enjoy Episode 2!
Episode 1: The Adventure Begins
After months of planning and preparing for our adventure, we are finally heading off. We have been delayed by a day due to bad weather but things are looking good – Cobar here we come!
Lightning Ridge
Lightning Ridge is one destination that I think every Australian should visit, and if you are not from Australia and want to see a unique side of Australia, which sets us apart from any other country in the world you need to visit Lightning Ridge. Categorically it is described as a charismatic, eccentric, quirky, crazy, unique town, with friendly locals from […]
A tourist hotspot that only the locals know about
Unless you grew up in the northern NSW region, or are a mad keen surfer, you probably have never heard of the town ‘Angourie’. As a child, living about 40 minutes down the road this would have been one of my favourite beach locations to visit during summer. It’s a place i haven’t visited since leaving my home town well over […]
