For those following along, part 3 of our Central Australian Expedition continues. Hauling north, from Hotel [emoji481] to Hotel [emoji488], we’re spoilt for hot dinners and dusty relics. The narrow gauge Ghan railway was abandoned decades ago and the remains of the sidings and sleepers can be...

Our LandCruiser came with a big, steel winch compatible bullbar. Although not popular, our budget has been better spent elsewhere on the vehicle. Until now. Deciding against a replacement bar, we worked with local engineers to modify, strengthen and fit my choice of lights into the bar. With...

We love driving, lucky, because we can do plenty of it in Australia. Wanting to test our setup, and our resolve somewhere remote and beautiful, we packed the LandCruiser and sped off over the mountains.... Read Chapter 1 [emoji901] https://rlhydnoverland.com/weekend-border-run-part-1/

Hey folks, here is a first look at the 12v configuration and gead in the LandCruiser. Between Solar and LiFePO4 we’re travelling rather empowered. We do have some improvements to make before a longer Expedition this year but check it out, let me know what you think!

I’ve written about an older adventure where we took the Oztent deeper into the centre of our continent. In this story, We’ve wound through ancient gorges and a micro Australian Steppe, and found ourselves at a dry, historic township where [emoji248] Afghan and Australian industrialists...

Recently we drove in convoy (normally solo!) and explored a couple of National Parks within hours of home. Whilst we were warned weather would be cold (that doesn't stop us!) we weren't expecting anything fluffy this far north. Read the story here...

As we drove, we perused the Hema for our options. Our conundrum was simple, we didn’t want to backtrack, anywhere if possible. It felt like we were at the wrong end of Zeka Spur Track, but were still undecided when Howitt Hut appeared.... Read the rest...

We spent a week in the Mountains for the first time earlier this year. Keep in mind, Australia doesn’t do altitude like the rest of the world, but given our meanderings in the desert below sea level, these were brave new heights for us! Hema, LandCruiser and 10 days to kill [emoji108] Part...

Hi OB folk! Thought I would share my 13 part Trip Report from last year's Australian misadventure. 4500 miles of solo travel, almost nothing went to plan. Everything from vehicle issues to illness. Combined with our travel permits into remote and limited access lands meant we had to re-route...

I'm considering adding a wok to my cooking kit, anyone else added one? Pros and Cons?

Anyone have any experience with this console fridge/freezer? Promises -12degrees celcius and such a tiny footprint for an extra freezer when touring, I am tempted. https://www.snomasterusa.com/product/traveler-series-bd-c12-12l-dc-portable-fridge-freezer/
