Cairns to Adelaide in a Motorhome | The Outback, Australia
Join us on an unplanned, one-way journey into the outback as we travel from Karumba (just south of Cairns in Northern Queensland) to Adelaide (South Australia).
Experience the spectacular scenery as we travel north to Karumba on the Gulf of Carpentaria and then down through the middle of the country, visiting Devils Marbles/Karlu Karlu, the West MacDonnell Ranges, and Uluru among other places.
You'll get a feel for what our motorhome (Maui Cascade) was like, as Nat pushes outback mobile internet speeds to their limit and continues to work online from some of the most remote places in Australia!
We never had any places booked and chose to go at our own pace, discovering some incredible spots and one of the best free campsites you could imagine. This trip is a must for anyone interested in seeing a quintessential part of our beautiful country – we thought it was incredible.
While the video quality may not be as high as our recent ones, it captures the essence of our adventure and the breathtaking landscapes we encountered.
Here are some of my highlights from this leg of the journey:
- Driving from the east coast to Karumba and exploring the Gulf of Carpentaria.
- Discovering the unique landscapes and wildlife of the Northern Territory.
- Visiting iconic landmarks like Devils Marbles/Karlu Karlu and Uluru.
- Exploring the West MacDonnell Ranges and their stunning scenery.
- Experiencing the vast and remote beauty of the Australian outback.
