When Howie the Yowie was young, his mumma used to tell him stories about a ferocious large mythical creature that would lurk in swamps, billabongs, creeks, riverbeds, and waterholes. It went by the name of a ‘Bunyip’ and had the head of a crocodile, a tail of a horse, and a body of a giant dog with a long hairy black coat. Of course, Howie never believed in any of this mythical gobbledygook!
Then one day, whilst out chasing drop bears, Howie was up in a tree when he spotted the scariest looking dog-like creature he had ever seen! It was huge and had a large mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and a long tail like a horse. It…it…it…had to be a Bunyip!!! Howie immediately froze in the tree that he was in until the beast moved on. Ever since that day, Howie has always believed in stories of mythological creatures!
Before you rush out onto stage 3 of The Road Less Travelled, PLEASE note the following:
- All roads have been picked to be 2wd suitable, IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS.

This is NOT a power trail; this is a touring trail designed to be done at a more relaxed pace over a few days. No need to rush, there are plenty of accommodation options along the way for all budgets from free camping and caravan parks to B&B, hotels or motels in some towns or nearby.
