Roam Magazine covers The Outback Way, with Brendan Batty

Helen speaks with Brendan Batty, the editor of Roam Magazine. They discuss the coverage of the Outback Way in Issue 31 2018, after Brendan's wife Angela joined the media famil last year, much to his chagrin at being left behind! In this episode Brendan shares a number of tips about taking caravans on the Outback Way, as well as getting organised, key equipment and getting the most out of your van. He also shares a bit of the history of caravanning in Australia, and why he is so looking forward to visiting the Outback Way soon.
