Here's some photos from the hitching trips I've done over the past few months, and some photos from a bush walk I did when I met up with @Benji91 :) they're all from the coast between Melbourne - Sydney - Brisbane, to just north of Brisbane. The old rail tunnel is in Dularcha National Park.

Hearing about some fellow Aussie's holidaying in America using that phrase to fuck with locals have me a good giggle (hey, it's a national pastime to take the piss out of ourselves and see what we can get away with saying!). It reminded me of this photo, just to confirm cliches. Had this...

Just thought I'd share a few photos from my wanderings around Mt Tibrogargan (Glasshouse Mountains, Queensland, Australia) back around 2014 with my mate Peta and her pup Aura. It's a gorgeous place - a lot of disused 4x4 tracks, plenty of wildlife (birds, kangeroos, snakes etc) and some fairly...

Mods: Not sure where this best belongs? News? Destinations? Making a Living? Damn, if I didn't have shit going on here I'd jump on this. http://thechive.com/2017/01/21/free-island-to-good-home-tasmania/?utm_source=facebook_chive&utm_medium=post&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral The...

I visited the Great Ocean Road three times in the 5 months I was down in 'Straya, lemme tell you mate, that road never gets old. I swear it gets more beautiful every time. I've got some photos from the most recent time I went, sometime the first week of December. Drove around, watched the...

Just arrived in Wellington a few days ago and thought I'll write down some things about my time here since there isn't that much info about that place on this page. And happy to get tips and infos about where to go and what to do. Wellington airport is quite nice, has good wifi and hot...

So this weekend I joined a group to go beach camping and exploring up north a bit from Melbourne. Croajingolong Nat'l Park is just about halfway between Melbourne and Sydney (about 6 hours drive from each) aka literally in the middle of nowhere. We set up on the beach, started a fire and broke...

Hey y'all, so I've been in the land down under for about a week now! Yesterday I went out into the mountains, a few hours outside of Melbourne, to Yarra Ranges National Park with another StP member, @Aussie Timm ! The rainforest! The cars around here have bull bars in case a kangaroo...

The southern New Zealand town of Kaitangata appears the prime example of the pastoral landscapes the island is known for; it's lush, hilly, green, and peaceful. Only about 800 people live there, and it's a mere eight minutes from the coastline. For those who prefer the rural, slow lifestyle and...

There is a thread back here somewhere about me being on the North Island in 2015. It was pretty lukewarm. I biked past a lot of farms and orchards and neverending fencelines, then got a job picking kiwifruit with a buncha people I never warmed up to much, stayed three months pining away for wild...

Okay, so I got this awesome trip stuck in my mind for a while now, and I need to know about the feasability of it, to see if I go forth with it, or sink in disappointment. After my current trip in Asia and United states, I wanna go back to Australia to work for a while. I've checked that...

Any chicas on here have travelled by themselves in papua? Or guys,, I know they're notorious for their attitudes towards women - having read that they're worth as little more than turds...but I'll be traversing around there in a few days Obvs not gonna hh solo, but any info you guys have picked...

I've noticed that compared to other parts of the world this scene seems dead in Australia, I'd definitely want to get to know some Australians, especially South Australians who are/would be interested in hitchhiking or train hopping?

Thought I might share some pics from a new zealand trip awhile back.

So, I've been in New Zealand for about two weeks now. Got into Auckland with my bike, rode to Te Puke and got a job picking kiwis. Pretty hard labour but decently paid... once the season is over I'll be back on the road. Anyone got anything to say about this place? There doesn't seem to be much...

http://wanderlusters.com/vagabond-across-new-zealand-125/ New Zealand encompasses some of the most beautiful lakes, mountains, and countryside on the planet. However despite the obvious appeal, a high cost of living and elevated travel costs can deter visitors who long to explore these diverse...

An old lighthouse.. 1836ish.. turned robot in the 1990's.. This is the road in. 10 miles.. the first stretch is pretty easy.. it gets pretty thick at about mile 4.. It is important, however, to properly fuel up, first... The ride in is mostly just trees & rock road.. there's a spot...

i found this interesting article about finding work to finance your travels abroad if you're over most work visa age limits (which i currently am), so i thought i'd repost it here for anyone that might find it useful. tons of links here! Originally published at...

I'm looking to move out to Australia for about a year, i know getting a work visa is easy and i eligible, Just wondering how cheap it is, how are the people and so on. So please tell me what you fellow travelers think of the place.
