Just 180km northeast of Melbourne’s dense hustle, the picturesque, if ominously named, Mount Terrible is close enough to the big smoke for a weekend escape, yet far enough away to feel like a proper getaway.
Weekend Trip
75 MILE BEACH, QLD
75 Mile Beach is located on Fraser Island’s east coast and, apart from the practically endless sand driving, you’ll be able to stop off at some of Fraser’s most famous landmarks, including the Maheno shipwreck, the Champagne Pools and Indian Head.
MYALL LAKES NP, NSW
The unspoilt stretch between Myall Lakes National Park, Mungo Brush and the endless sandy expanse of Mungo Beach provides a litany of surprises. With quick and easy access to the calm waters of the Myall Lakes system, as well as the open surf beach on the other side of the campground, visitors really get to have it both ways.
CONDAMINE GORGE, QLD
The Condamine Gorge Road is renowned for crossing the Condamine River 14 times, offering visitors the opportunity to practice and fine tune their water crossing technique under fairly tame conditions.
DWELLINGUP, WA
Escape Perth’s rat race with an offroad excursion to Dwellingup. As well as some first rate offroad drives, the place offers the choice of a couple of A-grade campsites as well as some great bushwalking opportunities
SANDY CAPE, WA
Sandy Cape’s one of those spots that often goes overlooked by tourers planning more ambitious expeditions up the west coast. It’s only a little over 200km north of Perth, just past Cervantes and Jurien Bay, and can be reached in less than three hours from the West Oz capital.
@carlislerogers Checking out the new 5-door Jimny on Moreton Island.
Awesome rig. Longer wheelbase feels great off and on road. #littlelegend @suzukiqueensland

It's been a real honour working with the team from @oricomuhfcb and local indigenous artist Daniel Evans from @walkabout_warriors_ on the launch video for this beautiful new UHF handheld radio, the Walkabout, featuring hand-painted artwork by Daniel.
I got to spend the day with him talking about art, the medicine that the bush is for us all, and how important it is to stay connected.
Thanks to everyone at Oricom for your support and trust.
Please go check out @walkabout_warriors_ where you can learn more about Daniel's work to support youth in communities, and see more of his great artwork.
The new Walkabout is available in @supercheap_auto and @bcf.australia across Australia 👣

“The future remains uncertain and so it should, for it is the canvas upon which we paint our desires. Thus always the human condition faces a beautifully empty canvas. We possess only this moment in which to dedicate ourselves continuously to the sacred presence which we share and create.”

I don’t know what triple-oaked means. I don’t know why it’s special if my whiskey is ‘elemental aged’.
But I do know this stuff is smoother than windswept dunes.

Living the dream somewhere between Morocco and Western Australia.
Over the years, if you're serious about escapism like we are, you end up going through a lot of gear, trying out every possible permutation of each necessity and luxury against the elements.
I've come to a place now where I can use the best gear available, and it's made my journey lighter and easier.
The new Wolfpack Pro boxes from @frontrunneraustralia embody the same indestructible ethos as the Cruiser, plus they are waterproof and stackable.
I am thoroughly impressed with the @thebushcompany 270XT awning. It is everything I always wanted: simplicity to use, rugged and reliable, and easier to pack away than any other awning I've ever had.
I never thought I'd be a rooftop camper person. I love a swag. But the new Odyssey from @jamesbaroud_aunz has just about wholly converted me. It's basically everything I love about swags (airflow, protection from the elements, lightning fast setup and packdown) with a better view.
