hello StP - new user here, currently in mparntwe/alice springs, 'australia'. long term enjoyer of cost free adventure, newer to riding freights in the notoriously challenging and unreliable rail network of australia. keen to keep learning the sparse network and hoping to travel abroad soon - i...

Feels odd to use my legal name. I go by Wyvern anyway with a lot of people, and have honestly thought about using Bandit for a nickname that no one can trace back to me, but like... no one knows wtf a Wyvern is or how to say it -- the amount of times I've copped Shane already, it may as well...

Hey yall. Planning on heading to Australia very shortly. Looking for full time work for all of august preferably with accomodation around NSW or Victoria. My job of choice would be beekeeping but keen on any work. I have experience beekeeping, picking, planting, and also hold qualifications in...

Hey there My name is Damien, and I've been an on-n-off user here (I keep forgetting old account passwords etc) as I am with most things in life (scratches head). Anyway, a coma I fell into last year changed everything for me; the whole trajectory -I know know what I want a lot more now, and...

Between the wire fence and floodlights lies freedom March 29th, 2019 on the belly of the beast desert bound with the pot of stars overhead to direct this north bound train. Getting here felt like an intangible dream, fast and ambitious like the stars as their life pounds deeply on our...

where are they? I've heard of Nimbin and Byron Bay but from what i've heard theyre no longer the true havens of alternative living. Anyone got a suggestion for a finding a community with sensible values?

Yo, my band Whiskey & Speed just dropped our first new track in years. Sweetness. I'm really goddamn proud of this one and how it turned out. It's the first track of our upcoming EP "Better Than Expected". A little less punk, a little more grunge. I guess? Idk, I'm stoked on it. Check it out if...

Does any one know what will happen if you are caught overstaying your visa in Australia? Please, No speculation... If you have done this or know anyone who has successfully, Please comment. The Visa processes down here are ridiculous! They are the highest cost and the longest time frames to...

I have some advice for anyone coming down. Hitchhiking is normal here, not against the law. There is a shit ton of freedom here! I never want to see amurika again... I have been in Australia for almost 4 months. It is CRAZY expensive here... Backpackers have been given court appearance for...

Repost due to my old account carking it and not displaying any of my old threads. Pics from ground level will be in another thread soon. Hope you enjoy

Hey folks! If you're reading this you probably know that having a vagina makes you vulnerable to some diseases and other issues that people without them don't have to deal with. I'm going to go through the two most annoying and teach you how to deal with and cure them. 1. Urinary Tract...

Hey mob, I'm gonna be travelling around Australia for a few years, I'm in coffs staying with family for a few weeks until my van gets fixed but after that throw me a line and I'll make you a curry and read your tarot. :)

I love sharing photos, and there is never much going on in the Oceania section of StP so I thought I'd share some more! Ended up going up and down the East Coast of Australia (between Brisbane and Sydney) a couple of weeks back. The main aim was catching up with mates and sorting our some visa...

Another punk show Down Under, if anyone's around Brissy. My band is calling it a day after almost a decade, we're kickin' at as we should and partying at a rad little DIY space called Common House with some of our favourite locals. This band has been a massive part of my life and it's a bit...

A couple of weeks ago I headed up to Mt. Glorious with a mate and our furry bud. We've been up there exploring a hell of a lot of times and found some great spots, but this was the best. Our general plan is to find somewhere to park where the scrub isn't too thick and the drop isn't too steep...

To anyone else out there in Brisbane, Australia... My rad little crew Pig City Folk Punk are getting out of the parks and into the pub - a few of us are taking over Sabotage in Fortitude Valley on Sunday Feb 11 from 3:30pm. Entry is free, beers aren't crazy pricey and the music'll be good...

Hi All, First post here. I saw this site referenced on Reddit so I thought I'd come see what it was all about. I've been rubbertramping for the last 2 years, based out of Sydney, Australia. Hoping to either move to Japan next year, or go full global-nomad indefinitely if that move falls...

Hey all, new here, read the welcome to STP- heaps of good info. Have looked around this site a few times in the last few years but signed up yesterday as I spent some time with Jim Stobe (RIP) in the states and had planned on riding with him and him possibly coming to Aus. I'm gutted by the...
