I lived in melbourne for 20 years. A friend from England came to stay with me. He rented a car to drive to Perth to visit his sister. I asked him why you not flying. Quote " its just a good days drive isn't it?" I explained to him it would take at least 3-4 days driving just to get there and then you have to get back. He couldn't understand the vast distance it was. As he said, it doesn't look that far on the map. It's 4000km each way

I lived in Katherine, more specifically Tindal, for the better part of a decade. I was born in the UK and moved to Perth as a young lad, always lived in the suburbs of big cities. Was quite a difference living 300km south of Darwin in the middle of the outback but it's a place I'll never forget. The storms, the weather, the smells, and the shenanigans we used to get up to were epic. Used to waterski with crocs, rescued a few snakes from work including an inland taipan, and used to go cane toad killing in the wet season as they're a real pest up there. Bought a dirt bike and used to ride the motocross track in Palmerston near Darwin, and the local track in Katherine was good for a bash after work. Used to be able to ride the dirt bikes from my house on base along the fire trails all the way to the track. There was also a great calm up there, where you could properly relax on the weekend and enjoy life. I will be retiring in the outback, far away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The people are nicer, the land is nicer, the air is nicer, everything just seemed better when you weren't bogged down with all the BS that comes with the big smoke.

Travelled through Alice on my way to Tindal from Wagga Wagga. Was really surprised with how good your roads are there, they're better than a lot of city roads. Wish I'd stopped off and actually had a look around but I was on a mission to get to where I was going in under 3 days.

Please note that the "nearest big city" that takes 18 hours to get to (Alice Springs) is actually a town with a population of under 25,000 people. (Which has significant fewer opportunities for theatre, or fine dining than New York, London, or Paris)

I was watching the news one night. A bloke was in court for letting his 12yo* daughter drive home while he was pissed in outback NSW. His reply to the cameras out front of court.
