Outback Tracks and Trails

Show Notes

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..

Episode 17 of The Outback Tracks and Trails Podcast is live! This week we’re joined by a long-time mate of the boys, Mark Wheller. Mark has walked the thin blue line and worked as a mortgage broker. He’s passionate about three things above all else — golf, Bali, and Melissa (not necessarily in that order 😉).

We sit down for a proper yarn about career changes, the golf life, escaping to Bali, and what keeps him grounded. Expect plenty of laughs, a few life lessons, and the usual good banter that comes when old mates get together. 🔥 Drop a comment: What’s your favourite escape — the golf course or Bali? 👇
