Hi all, A couple of photos from a trip that I lead for my 4WD Club along the Dunn's Track which is located in Southern Goldfields Region of Western Australia over our Easter long weekend. This track was first created about 120 years ago and is very remote and rarely used (due to it's...

So what do you on a summers day when the temps are in the 40+ degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) - you Raptor Coat your vehicle of course (or part of it) :dizzy: The bonnet and roof of my D40 Navara were badly faded and had some rust spots and needed to be repainted; however, I decided...

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...

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...

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...

Went up to an area north of Perth, Western Australia with some friends to play in some sand dunes, so I took the opportunity to try out my new 2x teleconverter on my Canon 7D and Sigma F2.8 70 - 200mm lens. It seemed to work okay and I am more than happy with it - especially as it only cost...

Headed up to Julimar State Forest on Sunday with members from my 4WD Club to tackle some of the tracks there and in particular 'Dummy Spit' Hill. This is actually a series of climbs and descents as you traverse around the edge of the hill and in wet conditions it can be extremely extreme but in...

After two years of procrastinating I finally bit the bullet and purchased myself a Travel Buddy 12 Volt Portable Oven - I am not sure if you guys get them in the USA but these are very popular here in Australia and the Travel Buddy is Australian made (there are cheap Chinese knock offs but you...

A couple of mates and I took off for a ten day trip into the north-west region of Western Australia (WA) and had an excellent time. It is winter in the southern parts of WA but up north it was absolutely perfect weather wise. While there we stayed on Glenburgh Station for a couple of nights...

Headed out a few weeks ago with some mates to explore the North-eastern Wheatbelt and Yilgarn Regions of Western Australia. This is fantastic and remote country to explore and winter is a great time to visit as the temps are nice cool. The Yilgarn Region is a part of the Great Western...

Last weekend (29 Feb - 02 Mar 20) was a long weekend here in Western Australia so I took members from my 4WD Club down to Nannup for the weekend. Nannup is about 2 1/2 hours south west from Perth and is in the Southern Forrest region with big forrests of Jarrah, Marri and Karri trees. Came...

Having been made redundant recently, I now have a bit of time on my hands so last week I headed of on a 4WD and camping trip with a couple of other guys. We headed down to the south western part of Western Australia and spent three days exploring the D'Entrecasteaux Nation Park and had a ball...

Recently I was made redundant, so with a bit of spare time and needing to clear my head to plan what to do next I decided to head out bush for a few days with a mate and explore the north eastern Wheatbelt and Yilgarn Regions of Western Australia. Even though this area is about 4 hours drive...

Thought I would share some images of my Pioneer Longreach Off-road Campertrailer. It is all Australian made and will go anywhere that I can go in my 4WD. It is a rear fold out - that is the roof folds back and becomes the floor. We have had it for four years and I absolutely love it and we...

Australia is a very big place and outside of the main population centres it is very remote and unforgiving. So far this year I believe that we have had 5 people die in remote country from either vehicle breakdowns or boggins and they have run out of water and died of thirst and the lastest...

One of the members from my 4WD Club asked if we could take a few of the dad's in his local high school Father's Group out and teach them about 4WDing. They all owned a 4WD but hadn't ever done much off roading so myself and one member from my Club took them out and ran them through the basics...
