From outback hilarity to on-road headaches – this episode has it all! We kick things off in the tiny Queensland town of Tambo, where we pull in for an unforgettable overnighter at the Tambo Cabins & Caravan Park. What this town lacks in size, it makes up for in pure outback charm – and absolutely no one warned us how wild the chicken races at the Royal Carrangarra Hotel would get!
We agreed to bid responsibly… but somewhere between the wine and the feathers, things escalated. Let’s just say, Katie blew the budget, and it was worth every dollar. (The chickens are racing for charity after all!) But it’s not all fun and games. After the laughs, it’s a long travel day to Chinchilla, where we finally get the smashed back windscreen of our LC300 replaced – a reminder that outback adventures often come with their fair share of dust, rocks, and unexpected detours.
It’s family travel in Australia at its realest – equal parts chaos, comedy, and country kindness.
