Show Notes
Join Andrew, Mick and Tony with their special guest Micky J, to hear Micks four‑week “trip of a lifetime” through the heart of the Australian outback.
From the rugged Flinders Ranges and vast station country to the salt plains of Lake Eyre, Coober Pedy’s underground streets and the iconic red rock of Uluru, this episode is packed with stories, laughs and hard‑earned lessons from the road.
You’ll hear how Starlink and GPS changed the game in remote areas, what really happens on long night drives, and why chatting with locals in tiny pubs and outback stations can become the best memories of all. If you’re dreaming of your own big outback escape—or just love red dirt yarns—this one’s for you.

He’s passionate about three things above all else — golf, Bali, and Melissa (not necessarily in that order 😉). A proud member of the Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club, Mark and Melissa split their time between the championship Sandbelt courses and their Bali timeshares. 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? 👇
