The remoteness is unlike anywhere in Australia. We are exploring the rugged coastline and tracks of Dirk Hartog Island for eight star-filled nights from lockdown to downtime.

One of the biggest hurdles for planning a more extended remote trip is the food considerations, and this is one main reason why trips are rushed or short-lived.

We have a play around with a 4WD Travel Buddy Oven on a trip and try our hand at a lamb rack sous vide. Yep, that's right! Let's get a bit more into the low temperature this thing can sit on. 

 

There’s nothing quite like sitting on a mountaintop, breathing in crisp alpine air, and slurping down a hot, flavour-packed bowl of pho.

Every bit of this track is amazing and can be walked in sections or completed in 6 to 8 weeks. With only 3 days we had to pack in as much adventure as possible and chose the section from Mandalay Beach carpark to Walpole town centre - to the nearest beer and burger joint.

One of the biggest considerations when hiking is pack weight and how to minimise it. We buy gear based on weight, packability, durability, and functionality - does it do what we need it to do?

As the season warms up, the endless fly-swatting battle takes charge and heat stress and heat stroke become major hazards.

We head into the bush with Harry from Fire to Fork to try our hand at a sous-vide in a cooler. How to Sous-vide in a cooler while camping. Firstly this was not a hard cook at all, it's dead easy. Normally served in swanky restaurants or at home by keen cooks to impress guests, it’s a failsafe way to not overcook your cut if meat. Harry from Fire to Fork is no stranger to cooking over the fire and luckily for me, he’s not a vegetarian...
