Ready to hit the road and discover the real Australia in 2025? Forget the clichés—this isn’t about the Great Ocean Road or the East Coast Highway. We’re talking rugged tracks, jaw-dropping landscapes, and adventures that’ll make your mates jealous. Whether you’re conquering the Outback or cruising alpine passes, our gear has you covered. With gear tough enough for the Aussie wild and storage solutions built to handle everything from fishing rods to family camping gear, you’re sorted. So, let’s dive into five epic road trips begging to be ticked off your bucket list.
The Savannah Way (WA to QLD)
Think you’ve seen the Outback? Not until you’ve tackled the Savannah Way, mate. This 3,700-kilometre route from Broome to Cairns has it all—waterfalls, ancient rock art, and enough dust to make your 4×4 feel like it’s earned a beer at the end of the day.
Must-See Stops:
Borroloola
A tiny speck on the map with big Outback energy. Drop a line in the McArthur River or explore Limmen National Park.
Lawn Hill Gorge (Boodjamulla National Park)
Picture emerald waters, towering sandstone cliffs, and hikes that make you forget your inbox exists.
Kakadu and Nitmiluk National Parks
Get your boots muddy in Kakadu’s wetlands or paddle through Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk. The views will knock your Akubra off.
The Alpine Way (NSW and VIC High Country)
Who said road trips were all about deserts and beaches? The Alpine Way takes you into Australia’s high country, where snowy peaks meet lush meadows, and every bend in the road deserves its own postcard.
Kosciuszko National Park
Whether you’re scaling Australia’s tallest peak or tackling a snowball fight, this park is an all-season wonderland.
Mount Hotham
Summer or winter, Hotham delivers. Hike wildflower-strewn trails or hit the slopes when the snow falls.
Beechworth
Gold rush history, killer bakeries, and boutique beer? Yes, please.
If the heart of Australia is calling, this is your sign to answer. The Red Centre Way takes you deep into Outback country, where the landscapes are more significant than your wildest dreams (and just as red).
Uluru and Kata Tjuta
No Aussie road trip is complete without paying homage to these giants. Watch Uluru glow at sunset, and don’t skip the Valley of the Winds walk at Kata Tjuta.
Kings Canyon
Take the Rim Walk if you’re up for it—it’s six kilometres of jaw-dropping views, lush oases, and “pinch me, is this real?” moments.
Tjoritja/West MacDonnell Ranges
This ancient landscape is bursting with gorges, waterholes, and views that’ll leave you speechless. Camp under a billion stars and forgot about five-star hotels.
Seafood lovers, this one’s for you. South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula dishes up some of the freshest oysters, kingfish, and scallops in the world—and plenty of rugged beauty to go with it.
Port Lincoln
Dive with great whites or chill with some world-class seafood.
Coffin Bay National Park
Ever slurped an oyster straight from the sea? Now’s your chance.
Ceduna and the Great Australian Bight
Rugged cliffs and whale watching? Yes, please.
Swap beaches for big skies and Queensland’s untamed Outback. This loop takes you through the state’s heart, with history, stargazing, and plenty of good old-fashioned Aussie grit.
Charters Towers
Gold rush relics, ghost stories, and that small-town charm you didn’t know you missed.
Mount Isa
Mining history and the best sunsets you’ll ever see. If you’re into 4WDing or fishing, this is your playground.

Home of the Stockman’s Hall of Fame and plenty of yarns about the bush.
