In the Bush Wanderlust podcast series, Ali Smith and Katie Watson take listeners on a road trip around the Narrabri region in North West NSW.

It’s the place Ali and Katie are both lucky enough to call home.
But of course, this series isn’t just about the place. It’s also about the wonderful, intriguing, diverse and super fun people who live in the Narrabri region.
Ali and Katie can’t wait to introduce you to the loveable locals, many of them are their mates, and share their resilient, entertaining and inspiring stories.
From every country bride’s dream wedding caterer to an adaptable farmer turned barista and a proud Gamilaraay woman whose love story will make your heart skip a beat. The Bush Wanderlust podcast will fuel your travel desires and give you a taste of country life. Who knows? You might even fall in love and decide to make the Narrabri region your own home. Ali and Katie both did!
These two birds from the bush will explore all the magnificent wonders right here in Australia’s backyard and have plenty of fun along the way including a cheeky visit to a nudist retreat and uncovering the secrets to spotting the elusive pink slug (the slippery little sucker is exclusive to the Narrabri region).
It’s time to hit the road and #stayinthebush. As the locals say – just you, five million stars, a mountain range and a yowie.
Ali and Katie would like to thank the Narrabri Region Tourist Information Centre for supporting their podcast project. As well as, the talented Pip Brett and her team in Orange who organised The Huddle - a fabulous networking event Ali and Katie attended in 2020. It was a weekend of inspiration and lots of tips from some kick-ass businesswomen. Two of the hottest words at The Huddle weekend were ‘podcasts’ and ‘collaboration’. So Ali and Katie collaborated to make a podcast to showcase the spectacular Narrabri region.
