36 mins
Uncover the eerie disappearances, strange encounters, and stories of phantom figures surrounding Australia’s vast Nullarbor Plain. Explore how the endless darkness, extreme isolation, and long stretches of empty highway turned one of the world’s loneliest roads into a place filled with unsettling legends.
Ep 1:
Crossing the Waterless Land
We begin the great Nullarbor crossing itself — a limestone giant named Unduri by its first people, and the brutal 1841 expedition that gave the highway its name.
Ep 2:
Blowouts, Headwinds, and Hidden Caves
Flat tires, killer headwinds, and a mechanic's stray pliers turn this leg into a lesson in Nullarbor chaos, while hidden cliffs and cave systems reveal the plain's secret depths.
Ep 3:
Ghosts, Ruins, and the 90-Mile Straight
Sand swallows a century-old telegraph station, cyclists brave the world's longest straight road, and Australia's haunted highways raise unsettling questions about what really lurks out there.
Ep 4:
The Nullarbor Never Lets Go
Alone in the dark on Australia's emptiest road, unwritten rules of camaraderie collide with eerie phenomena as we finally reckon with what the Nullarbor truly is.
