A few years ago Tony fought off throat cancer and had terrible survivor’s guilt, so he and Lisa hitched up their caravan and took off - using the time and space to mend physically and mentally. What was initially meant to be a six-month holiday, eventually turned into more than two-and-a-half years, and after Lisa (an ex-ballet dancer) had surgery on her ankles earlier this year, they’ve headed bush again!  

Get ready to hear about the Southwell’s adventures around Australia, where they share everything from cooking bush tucker, to meeting the man that developed the Tasmanian Overland track. If you need inspiration to get on the road - you’ll find it right here! Listen in as Lisa and Tony take you on their “coddiwompling” journey through outback Queensland - travelling in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination.
