The wind was very cold but the day 21 deg C.    14 and 15/7 at Maroochydore to see Doreen's sister. 16/7 arrived at Hervey Bay, QLD to spend a couple of days sight seeing.    17th at 1770 was extremely difficult to find a vacancy at a Caravan Park. Stayed out of town near an industrial area. The park was dodgy however the people were great, We had our first happy hour...

                I had a fantastic Labour long weekend in Victoria (I’m from Sydney) with one of my best friends Peta. We went down there for our friend Lauren’s wedding.    Peta and I took the day off and flew down to Melbourne on Friday lunch time. When we got there we took a cab to pick-up our Mitsubishi Outlander for the weekend. I work with Mitsubishi so they very kindly let me borrow an Outlander for the trip. The guys at Penfolds Mitsubishi were fantastic (thanks guys!).    Peta and I were so excited and impressed with having such a...

                Island beach run without the expense of barge fees. Bridge access to island, pick up beach permit from Bongaree Caravan Park & off you go. There's a couple of minor water crossings on the beach- watch them after heavy rain though as these can become deep and catch you off guard. War ruins at the northern end (don't forget the insect repellant) & inland track back to Welsby (closed during periods of heavy rain).

                Have noticed after a recent trip that we seem to take so much stuff away with us for our toddler and baby. 2 x portacots and blankets, 2 cases of clothes, nappies, towels. Toys to keep them amused, 2 x strollers, two eskis and 2 picnic baskets. Thats just for a weekend away. Am thinking we need to have a tip section for travelling light with kids on board!

                I love my weekends away Filling up both the days Driving out somewhere new Always with a great view Our 4x4 hits the spot It’s the best – it’s got the lot Taking us our into the green Where we can camp – it’s serene Family time is always worthwhile But sadly my eye is on the dial With petrol prices always high Every time I pay, I sigh If only it didn’t drink so much I’d have some money for a picnic lunch!

                Got away on the weekend to Yorke Peninsula in SA where the family's got a shack. The Outlander's great because we could fit all the gear... we were only going away for three days on the long weekend, but with all the space we threw everything that we could think of... including the six string that rarely gets a run, I'm a guitar hack. After a bottle of Annie's Hill on a Saturday night however,  I'm a deadset rockstar.    The picture is near Stansbury overlooking the gulf. There are farms right close to the cliff here with...

It was a great track & I've been meaning to do it again for years, Al & I decided the time had come & started planning our weekend this turned into many hours of research as we couldn't find any reference to "The Omeo Coach Road" locals from Swifts Creek hadn't herd of it Maps...

                We did this trip over two days, the first day just the NEW Jeep and the Oouty, then the next time we had a lot more vehicles to play in the rouch stuff.    As you can see in the video, we found rocky tracks, dirt, and mud - all the makings of a fun day out.    The Jeep got stuck (again?!) but this time we managed to get him out without any damage - maybe a little damaged pride?    The Oouty performed well again, and once again we all had a...

                We decided to get out for the weekend on this trip, and explore the tracks in and around the Glasshouse Mountains region.    It has been raining during the week, so there was a little mud about, but that made things all that much more interesting.    We had a fantastic day out with friends and family, until one of our group decided to cross a creek before checking the depth.   After he went through about 1/2 way, the bonnet disappeared under a wall of water, and the engine took a gutload of water.  After towing...

                A few weeks after buying our first 4WD we decided we would take it on a long weekend away to the Victorian Alpine region. Kathy and I had never been up there before so it seemed as good excuse as any to get out of the house for 4 days. We drove to Licola first, then north along Tamboritha Road and continued to Bryce's Gorge. Here we went for a walk and had a look at Pieman Falls and Guys Hut. We drove back to Licola to stay in a cabin at the caravan park for the night, which was...

                Jenolan S/F is agian one of those jems with in the 2 hour radius of Sydney with some very exciting tracks in it. The deep you go into the forest more interesting they become to the point of almost being impassable.  the pictures I have choosen here are of the camp site at little river and that of one of the back tracks just after the rains,  this was one many very deep holes that we could not gat around and just had to charge through on a wing and pray. thanks to the placement of the air in...

                Hi, I live in Oberon NSW which isn't very far from Bathurst. One weekend my wife and I decided to visit the inlaws in Armidale NSW. I knocked off work about 12pm, when I arrived home we packed the kids in the car drove up to Armidale late that night. On Saturday we drove over to Coffs Harbour for the day to visit the brother inlaw and his little family. we had such a lovely day on the beach, as we only have a dam back in Oberon.On Sunday we came down via Newcastle stopping at my Fathers place for a barbecue lunch. After lunch we headed to Campbelltown to...

             <description><![CDATA[ 
                Cross Country Rallies (like the Dakar) have been a passion of mine for a long time. While working on running such events here in Australia my NM Pajero was sign-written up as a rally car and used as a promotional vehicle, a rally course survey vehicle, and on several occassions as a Zero and Sweep vehicle in both Cross Country and regular rallies.
