We re all able to name the world s highest place, but how many of us know where the coldest, remotest and wettest places on the planet are located? Even if we re told, we might have problems finding them on a map. All the world s most extreme places are reachable by adventurous travellers, though few of us might have the skills or patience to get there. Many are a physical challenge, and nearly all are frustratingly located in obscure places that will never feature on mainstream tour itineraries. But never fear. If you want a taste of the extreme without going the full hog, there are alternatives that will give you a fair taste of the experience. ....

Tonight Kidd (his real name is James but nobody, including him, uses it) is checking the progress of rains through the creeks and gullies that snake through the property, which spans 500 sq km in Queenslandâs outback channel country. ....
Craig Tansley10:00, May 10 2021 SUPPLIED The Classic Safari Company runs five-day “Aussie Outback Pub Crawls” that take you 4000km across the outback encompassing three states and visiting eight pubs. The outback comprises 70 per cent of Australia – that s 5.6 million square kilometres; half the size of Western and Eastern Europe combined. This back of beyond defines Australia, and Australians, and yet for most of us, it s as foreign as any country.

Getting there from a capital can takes days of driving; and once you re there it takes days to get anywhere else. That s why it s largely the domain of adventurous, time-rich grey nomads in four-wheel drives with enough grunt to pull their caravan through the heart of Australia. ....
