Last Updated on March 18, 2019 by Red Nomad OZ Cockroaches, cane toads and camels are generally considered physically and/or temperamentally unsuited to commercial racing.

Last Updated on February 11, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ It’s just a 20 minute drive from the Wycliffe Well roadhouse to the stunning natural attraction of Karlu Karlu/Devils Marbles. But other than distance, these two places could not be further apart. Wycliffe Well, known as Australia’s UFO capital, is full bizarre extraterrestrial figurines, spaceships, mural-covered buildings and other oddities[…]

Last Updated on September 25, 2015 by Red Nomad OZ The Australian landscape has provided the inspiration behind many creative and artistic endeavours. Some, for example, use their powers for good, and write poetry, books or music. Others, on the other hand, produce blog posts about Australia’s Scenic Public Toilets.
