This special annual edition of Australian Traveller, Australia's best-selling travel magazine, uncovers the hottest destinations and experiences of the year for our readers' favourite topic, The Outback. From the best drives, curious towns and luxury escapes for the bucket list, there's something for everyone.

We start by uncovering why WA's Golden Outback is really the experience that has it all by taking a road trip of staggering beauty, from the ice-blue waves to the incredible Wave Rock and breathtaking scenery at Lake Ballard (cover shot).

We share our guide on how to do the Top End your way – Darwin, Katherine and Kakadu on any budget, when to go and what to see. For the adventurers, we journey from Cape York to Cairns on a motorcycle and drive across Queensland's remote and scenic Channel Country. There's also the fascinating story that delves into the quirky characters of South Australia's Coober Pedy.
