About the Wallaby Track…

‘On the Wallaby Track’ is an Australian term for travelling the country looking for work and new experiences, not necessarily in that order.

Historically the expression harks back to the days when the swaggies roamed the highways and byways, waltzing their matildas from town to town.

In modern times, people come from all parts of Australia and overseas to explore this continent and the myriad opportunities it presents.

Using many types of shelter from the traditional swag to the six figure motor home, they ramble and roam on Shanks pony, by bicycle, motorbike or pull a caravan. There are tens of thousands of nomads of all ages living on the Wallaby Track today.

If you are among them or planning to join them, this is your place.

What you can expect to find here is information and advice on how to get the most value and enjoyment out of your time in the bush.

There are plenty of travel sites on line and lots of glossy magazines competing for your hard earned cash. Our primary focus will be unbiased tests of useful camping and outdoors gear as well as some homespun guidance to help you enjoy and develop a lifelong connection to the bush and its people.

We hope you enjoy your visits.
