The locals’ map of Australia.

Ripper Spot is a community map of the places that make Australia, well, Australia — the elite servo pies, the best-at-sunset lookouts, the proper country pubs and the hidden gems the brochures never mention.

It’s built by locals. Every place, tag and rating comes from people who actually know the area — and everything’s checked by a real person before it goes live, so it stays useful, honest and good-natured.

We’re starting in Queensland and rolling out across the country. Want in?
