About this listen

Outback Tracks and Trails – where three mates (that's me, Tony, and Mick) spill the beans on every sunburnt, dust-choked adventure we've dragged ourselves through.

Think off-grid camps under a million stars, busted utes, and the kind of shortcuts only locals know. We talk real—where to park without getting bogged, what gear actually survives the heat, and why you should never trust a map that says 'easy access'.

Sometimes we drag in a guest—some bloke who's crossed the Simpson or camped on a ghost station—just to hear how they didn't die. No polished scripts, no fancy edits. Just us, laughing at our own dumb decisions, and maybe handing you a few tricks so you don't repeat 'em.

If you're stuck in the city dreaming of red dirt, or you've got a four-wheel-drive and nowhere to point it—this one's for you.

Family, friends, anyone who's ever wondered 'what's out there?'—pull up a chair. We'll keep it loose, keep it honest, and keep you coming back for more.

    Grab a cold one and join us for a cracking yarn on the very first episode of Outback Tracks and Trails!

    We kick things off with deciding to start a podcast—because why not turn our love for the open road and good mates into something you can listen to?

    We swap stories about our very first camping trips (think dodgy tents, burnt sausages, and dads who thought they knew every shortcut), right through to epic father-son adventures and how our camping game has levelled up over the years—fancier gear, but the same old terrible jokes.

    We also dive into some wild overseas travels, the big career switches we've pulled off, and what’s next on the bucket list. Spoiler: there are a few ridiculous dream trips in there that’ll probably never happen… but we can dream, right?

    It’s full of laughs, a bit of nostalgia, and plenty of real talk about why hitting the tracks with your mates is just bloody good for the soul.

    So pull up a swag, hit play, and come along for the ride—we reckon you’ll feel right at home..
