Bogan Journey: Bourke




Eerily quiet streets of Bourke - Australia's crime capital?

Frog Love


The gated motel with electric fence.



An Afghan mosque from the 1900s which was used by the camel drivers.


Telling it how it is.


Bogan Journey: On the Road Day 2



The earth grows more and more red as we approach Bourke "Gateway to the REAL outback!".





Very rare to see this part of Australia flooded. They've had the most rainfall since a massive flood in the 1950's. Some areas have seen a whole year's rainfall in 24 hours.

Bogan Journey: Gilgandra Town


Hollie approves of her tinned spaghetti on toast for breakfast.






The blood stained hotel reveals its true glory in the light of morning.






Gilgandra is derived from the Aboriginal word meaning 'long waterhole'


Means Chicken Schnitzel. Even took a while for us Austro's to work it out

Something I had forgotten about Australian pubs, the gambling rooms.
