Sharyn Tregonning expects a glamorous 60th birthday holiday—but when her husband Barry turns it into a caravan trip from Adelaide to Broome, the journey is anything but smooth. Along for the ride are Barry’s friend Ray and Ray’s reclusive sister Kathleen, whose shared tensions and hidden resentments begin to unravel across the Kimberley. A dead body at a luxe resort forces past wounds and secrets to surface.
Published 30 September 2025, The Road Trip is a warm, sometimes biting exploration of family friction, unexpected friendship, and how distance can bring you closer. You’ll feel the red dust under tyres, hear caravans creak, smell the gin shared around a campfire.

Why this book matters
Stringer captures how ordinary journeys can strain relationships to breaking point—then force reckonings no one expected. The Road Trip shows that faults in friendship, marriage and self-worth often lie dormant until travel demands more than comfort allows. It’s a road-story with heart but with sharp edges.
