In 1994 I set off on a years world ticket from the UK, during which I backpacked around mainland Australia… In 2002 I arrived back and stayed. Since this time I have been on a journey ‘I certainly didn’t see coming’.
Now 23 years later and I’m at it again, off on a solo road trip, to tip the balance back in my favour, by reestablishing a thirst for adventure I thought lost to the yearnings of a younger man.

Join me as I navigate the unexpected on a road trip around Australia.
Confronting the extraordinary beauty of a landscape unlike any other; I aim to travel from Tasmania to Tasmania with the small matter of the enormity of the island to the north in between, whilst tackling the emotional highs and lows of a return journey to find adventure and re-build self-confidence, 20 years on from the Richard I used to know.
On a course heading west from Melbourne, follow the passage of richardtheJourneyman as he shares along the way:
- What it takes to put a trip like this together
- Travel Tips
- The Blog (Stories, pictures and song)
And how to fill in those occasional free moments, ‘should they arrive’, i.e ‘Wordle’, Backgammon, or attempting to record an album of desert songs along the way.
