Last lot - I hope you enjoyed them. How many does it take to change a tyre (and yes that is the correct way to spell it :laughing::laughing::laughing:) Elachbutting Rock Pergande Homestead (abandoned) The sheep yards at Pergande Homestead - these were made from sheets of granite rock...

I have just come back from leading a trip for my 4WD Club out into the Great Western Woodlands (Outback Western Australia). It was a quick 8 day trip which I would have loved to last longer :grinning: The Great Western Woodlands is approximately the same size as England but with less than 50...

Here in Australia we call them 'Bull bars' or 'Roo bars' but when we talk to people from outside of Australia we mostly use the term 'Bull bar' because most people won't know what a 'Roo' is :laughing: I was glad he was able to hop off but I am not sure how badly he was hurt - roos are really...

Long story - short for both animal strikes as they happened on the same day (in fact 20 minutes a part :rage:). I was leading a group of about 12 vehicles on a trip through and we had just come out of a rough track in some scrub land and were on a formed road and it was about 3pm in the...

Following on from my post the other day about 'How Bogged Can You Get' here is a video I made of the weekend - I hope you enjoy it. Karl

Where I live in Western Australia, we have had our wettest year in over 30 years and ground that is normally hard / firm is now just bog :anguished: Went camping on the weekend with my 4WD Club to a property that we have access to and before we even entered the property two vehicles got...

Here is another video of mine shot with the Fimi X8 SE 2020 - this drone gets very mixed reviews, some love it, others hate it; however, for the price I paid, I really enjoy it. This video was shot over the weekend when SWMBO and I went down south for the weekend - nothing special but it does...

Here are a couple of videos that I have done with my Fimi X8 SE 2020 drone:

We have the same issue here in Australia - the price of 2nd hand 4WDs has gone through the roof, caravan and campertrailers have gone through the roof, purchasing a new 4WD has wait lists of 6 + months, all the popular (easy to get to) campsites / grounds are are full and this is all due to...

Went to photograph the full moon setting the other morning, unfortunately mother nature had a different idea and at the last minute cloud covered the horizon :disappointed: Anyway, I tried my best and the colours from the sunrise weren't too bad :grinning: Karl

Did a quick overnighter out into the Central Wheatbelt Region of Western Australia in the hope of photographing the Supermoon rising above one of my favourite salt lakes; however, due to too much cloud that didn't eventuate. One the plus side - it was a great overnighter and here are a couple...

Glad you liked it - if you want a laugh watch my YouTube Channel on the trip (Westralian Images), it is a great area of the country and I will be going back for more trips. Was supposed to be leading a trip for my 4WD Club to the Helena and Aurora Ranges this weekend but got cancelled due to...

Welcome - where do you live, I am in Rockingham? Karl

A well set up auxiliary battery system using quality components shouldn't cause you any issues at all and it has a lot more uses than just powering a fridge. I use mine to run my lights at night, charge batteries (phone, camera, chainsaw etc), power a second fridge wen required (yes I have two...

Here in Australia many 4WDers have fridges fitted in their vehicles and this is basically due to our climate with a majority of our country being in hot zones. Yes there is extra requirements for a fridge such as having a secondary battery system but it in itself then becomes useful to run...

Every afternoon around 1600 h (4:00 pm for civvies) I get large flocks of these White Short-billed Corellas come into my front yard and eat the olives off of my olive tree. They are very comical to watch but very noisy :grin: I just sit there in my chair and take photos of them and they...

Thanks - it was a lot of work and I basically did most of it myself. Thinking of doing it again next year but if I do I will start planning a lot earlier. Karl

I recently organised an event at old Narloo Station in the Yalgoo Region of Western Australia for my 4WD Club (The Four Wheel Drive Club of WA), Trackcare, Austravel Safety Network and the Rockingham Photography Club (as I am a member). A Station is the same as a ranch only bigger :tonguewink...
