The Pod Well Travelled: Exploring the rugged Australian Outback
Vast, remote and brimming with cultural richness, the Australian Outback is one of the world's most unique travel destinations.
Host Megan French and seasoned explorer Stephen Scourfield discuss the wondrous landscape on the latest episode of The Pod Well Travelled.
The duo take listeners on an epic journey from the iconic red heart of Uluru and the dramatic domes of Kata Tjuta, to the ancient gorges of Karijini and the rugged beauty of the Kimberley.
Hear firsthand accounts of sunrise and sunset at Uluru, the ever-changing colours of the desert, and the spiritual power that draws travellers back time and again.
The conversation also explores must-visit destinations such as Kings Canyon, Flinders Ranges and the legendary Gibb River Road, as well as quirky outposts such as Coober Pedy — where life is lived underground — and the historic mining town of Broken Hill.
'Karijini National Park is like going down an elevator in time, through millions and millions of years,' Stephen says.

Accommodation in Kings Park unlikely after tiny cabins trial
A bold push to allow tourist accommodation in Kings Park has seemingly fizzled out after last year's tiny cabin trial, with neither the Tourism Minister or Environment Minister keen to talk about a future for overnight stays. The company that brought in the three tiny cabins last June around drawcard event Lightscape has also confirmed it won't be returning when the lights and sound spectacle returns next week. 'We really appreciated the opportunity to trial the concept at Kings Park and while the response was positive overall, we've decided to focus on our regional expansion for now,' a Heyscape spokesperson confirmed to PerthNow. Your local paper, whenever you want it. Cabins in Kings Park look unlikely to return. Credit: Stephen Scourfield / The West Australian WA's new Tourism Minister Reece Whitby, who was environment minister when the accommodation trial was supported, referred questions about the prospect of future accommodation for Kings Park to new Environment Minister Matthew Swinbourn. Mr Swinbourn did not answer any of PerthNow's questions this week and a written response — attributed to a State Government spokesperson — was non-committal. 'The Heyscape overnight stay experience provided a novel, world-class experience in an extraordinary location,' the statement read. 'Any future proposals will be informed by the Heyscape review, which provides valuable insights into key considerations for accommodation experiences.' Last year's State Government-backed trial allowed the three cabins to be set up in the park for the three-week duration of Lightscape, providing a rare overnight accommodation experience for some of the event's 180,000 visitors.

'Kings Park is one of WA's best attractions and my government wants to bring Kings Park to life,' he said. 'That means more for visitors to do as they experience one of the world's biggest and best inner-city park.' But the accommodation audition drew a mixed response, with plenty taking issue with the $495 per night price tag for being too steep. Community group Friends of Kings Park also slammed the trial because of the potential to 'ruin' the A-class reserve.

Australia's Kadi luggage is big on style & performance, & now even bigger on value
Colleague Megan French is in England on a long trip, and she has with her new Kadi soft luggage. Kadi is an Australian-owned and designed brand that launched in 2023. A spokesperson explains that it was 'born from the need for affordable luggage that doesn't compromise on quality or design'. Colours are interesting, unusual and pastel, from charcoal to pebble, olive to a midnight dusk blue. The durable shells of the hard cases are made from premium 100 per cent German polycarbonate. And there is currently a sale on the website. + For example, in their soft shell luggage, the medium Cloud check-in in charcoal is reduced from $329 to $297.40. Holding 81 litres, it weighs just 3.2kg and has a lifetime manufacturer's warranty. + The large Cloud check-in, which Megan is using, is reduced from $379 to $227.40. It has a whopping 120-litre capacity yet weighs just 3.9kg. + The 40-litre Cloud Carry-on weighs 2.6kg — a distinct advantage with carry-on limits. It is reduced from $279 to $167.40. + Kadi also has an impressive range of hard-shell cases. I particularly like their Carry-On Business in olive. Currently reduced from $399 to $239.40, is cleverly designed, right down to frosted PVC pockets and a quick-access front pocket for tech. With a 38-litre capacity, it weighs 3.5kg. + There is also a Carry-On Leisure version of the hard-shell cases. They are currently reduced from $325 to $195. + Kadi also has weekender bags, pretty 33-litre over-shoulder and handle bags in subtle shades. They have a firm base, so they sit upright when you put them down. + There are also colourful bags designed for kids. + From the tough shell material through to durable spinner wheels and water-resistant zippers, Kadi's product developers have worked to turn each Kadi piece into a 'trusted companion'. Editor's note Megan French will bring us a full, on-the-road report on her Kadi case in a future edition of Travel.
