  • I’m booking my trip!

    Before this podcast, I’d never heard of The Outback Way. It must be Australia’s best kept secret, but I’m so glad the secret is out! It’s going on my bucket list because I am now super keen to do the whole journey and experience all there is to see and do along the way. Highly recommend this podcast to international visitors and fellow Aussies who want to get to know our marvellous country and people better!
