We love learning new languages, and particularly jargon-it makes us feel more local when we travel. A bit of Aussie slang you might not know is "woop woop", meaning a place that's in the middle of nowhere and the perfect setting for one of this year's biggest travel trends: going off the grid.

If you like to stay in vogue when it comes to vacations, consider one of these ultra-luxurious private lodges hidden far away from civilisation. Glamp amid the red sand of the Simpson Desert, or look down on the world from treehouse-chic accommodation in the depths of the world's oldest living rainforest.
We've picked out some of the best off-grid offerings, just for you.
