Australia Travel Guide

Honest travel guides written by Jack Thompson — an Aussie travel writer who drives these roads himself.

Welcome to Australia

I have driven a lot of this country, from Sydney’s harbour to little fishing towns up north, and I still find places that surprise me. I plan slow trips, stop at every lookout and write down what works. Start with our best beaches, pick a state below, and build a drive you will actually enjoy.

What You’ll Find Here

Every guide on this site comes from my own road trips. I write about things to do in cities and small towns, honest places to stay, beaches worth the drive and food stops I would return to. Start with the state hubs — New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory — or browse by topic: things to do, tourist information and road trips and Australian facts.
