The Leichhardt Highway stretches north through quaint country towns, over rivers brimming with freshwater fish, by tranquil lagoons, through mining towns where opulence was once flaunted in grand architecture left for us to admire today. Magnificent wildflowers blooming in forests, historical villages, understanding our Aboriginal culture, entering the once "world's greatest gold mine" or just sitting at a bar and meeting the locals who are always up for a chat. So why not start your motor and get ready for a fantastic journey northbound following the steps of one of Australia's most energetic and devoted explorers.
