Two hearts, one journey - across the wide horizons of Australia's outback.

Road to Nitmiluk is a sweeping travel memoir that follows Martin Kari and his wife, Arja, on an unforgettable journey through Australia's outback. From the fertile fields of Queensland to the soaring sandstone cliffs of Nitmiluk Gorge in the Northern Territory, the couple travel thousands of kilometres across landscapes that are as unforgiving as they are breathtaking.

Along the way, they encounter remote towns, hidden waterholes, ancient rock formations, and the quiet strength of people who live where survival depends on resilience. More than a travelogue, this is also a story of companionship - of shared laughter, challenges, and wonder on the long road north.

With vivid detail and heartfelt reflection, Martin Kari captures not just the beauty of the land but the enduring spirit of a journey taken together.
