Explore NSW’s outback with a driving tour of Sturt National Park

  dsc_6152 There’s something about Aussies and getting away. We’ll jump an international flight at the drop of a hat, but rarely do we explore our own backyard. How about this: the next time you’re taking a break, don’t look to SkyScanner. Instead, consider hiring a 4WD, grabbing a handful of quality mates and scoping out some of the craziest, most amazing land in your home state. It’s a rite of passage. [block_green]Did you know: Outback trips take a lot of prep, and going unprepared can be dangerous, even deadly. Make sure you read our survival guide before you decide to make the trek out west.[/block_green]
