Episode Details

Forget manicured greens—this is golf as an epic outback road trip. The Nullarbor Links spans 1,365 kilometers across Australia’s remote heartland, with players hitting from dirt, astroturf, and dodging snakes and wombats. Each of the 18 uniquely named holes tells a story, from the Wombat Hole to the SkyLab Hole near the 1979 spacecraft crash site. The annual “Chasing the Sun” tournament draws global adventurers, turning golf widows into golf tragics—and even inspiring players to order their own clubs by the time they get home. Born to combat driver fatigue on the Eyre Highway and spotlight forgotten towns, the course thrives on adventure, camaraderie, and quirky traditions like fines for silly antics—all while raising funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. It’s not about the score—it’s about the journey.
