Beyond Warrnambool
Most places along the Great Ocean Road have started to feel like old mates, but Warrnambool is still the one place that gets me stoked every time I drive into Lady Bay or cruise up Gilles Street with the windows down. I’m Oleksandr Honcharenko, and I’ve spent years wandering this stretch of Victoria, whether I’ve […]
Kangaroo Island
Most people picture soft sandy beaches and lazy afternoons spent lounging with a joey in their backpack when they think of Kangaroo Island — but trust me, I’m Oleksandr Honcharenko, and I’ve learned the hard way that this rugged South Australian outpost is a bit of a rebel & loves to knock us off our […]
Best Time To Visit Phillip Island
The best time to visit Phillip Island is highly weather dependent, and after years of exploring spots like Summerland Beach, Cape Woolamai, and Churchill Island, it becomes clear that this coastline between Western Port and Bass Strait has its own rhythms. If you time your visit right, you can see migrating whales, catch waves at […]
Visit Kata Tjuta
I’ve learned that places with a major reputation often disappoint in the end, but Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) is one of those rare exceptions that leaves you in awe. Out in the Red Centre of the Northern Territory, the sandstone domes just seem to loom over the desert in a way that will leave you […]

Things To Do in Uluru
I’m Oleksandr Honcharenko, and doing some digging on the top things to do in Uluru revealed that this place flips your understanding of the Australian outback in ways you probably don’t anticipate. Uluru sits at the very heart of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s been carved out by the Traditional […]
History of Uluru
The history of Uluru – I only discovered this stuff long before I had any idea what I was dealing with. Rock up to this enormous sandstone formation thinking it’s just going to be a postcard shot and you’re in for a surprise – out here in Central Australia, with the Northern Territory stretching out […]
Uluru Facts
Uluru has a way of sneaking up on you long before it pokes its head over the horizon. That title ‘Surprising Uluru Facts From Someone Who’s Been There’ is more of a promise than a catchy phrase – a warning that this UNESCO World Heritage site in the heart of central Australia is far weirder, […]
Little Desert National Park
Exploring Little Desert National Park in Victoria – there’s always a thrill when you step into one of those vast, arid landscapes that’s been shaped over eons by forces far more powerful than any of us who happen to wander through it. My GPS actually tried to steer me straight into a cypress pine thicket […]
Black Range State Park
Black Range State Park – where I’m stoked to take you off the beaten track into one of Victoria’s quieter parks – a rugged sandstone pocket that’s often overlooked in favour of the nearby Grampians National Park, but has its own unique charm. As Oleksandr Honcharenko, I’ve spent years exploring the top end of the […]
