Hi All, The "Old Tele" track is in the Far North East of Australia, and takes you up almost to the very tip of the continent (which is only 1,500kms from the Equator... (1000mi)) ... so it's hot, sticky and tropical up here, even in winter (which it is now in Australia) The track took us four...

Yep, that's just how they are!

Hi All, The Frenchman's Track in Far North Queensland dished out mud, a very deep and fast flowing river crossing, tons of flexy bits and absolutely stunning landscapes. This was easy the sketchiest riving crossing of my life, and we spent a very long time assessing the safest way to get...

Hi All, The CREB Track in Far North Queensland is infamous for extremely slick mud, deep water and remoteness. After road it's considered "extreme" and I've seen videos where it's impossible to walk up the slick inclines to attach a winch rope! The jungle here still has living remnants of a...

Hi Everyone, Northern Australia is turning super tropical, and I have to take in as much as possible while I'm here. The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living organism on earth, and is UNESCO listed. I had to get out SCUBA diving and have a look at this incredible underwater world for myself...

Hi All, As I move around Australia I'm seeing a TON of well-built Overland vehicles, but none come close to this one. Ruth and Tony spent two years driving around Africa on the same route as me in their Defender 130. We camped together in Egypt at what would be the final wild camp in all of...

Hi Everyone, A couple of weeks ago I asked for questions across social media, and now it's time to answer them all. Join Katie and I as we run through your questions about the Australia expedition, the Jeep, ourselves, and a whole lot more! -Dan

Hi all, For our latest adventure we set out to explore a remote island off the coast of Tropical Northern Australia. This National Park wilderness is packed with stunning beaches, waterfalls, river crossings and we even had a tropical rain storm. Oh, and I forgot to mention the crocodiles...

Hi All, I always knew Fraser Island / K'Gari National Park would be a top 10 highlight of Australia, and it absolutely did not disappoint! This is the world's largest sand island, and together with my uncle Ron we spent ten days exploring all over, taking in the sights. We swam in the crystal...

Hi Everyone, I came to Australia to spend time with my family on adventure, and that is exactly what I've been doing! Katie and I drove clear across to the East Coast, and we've been hanging out with my uncles and aunties in beach paradise. My Uncle Ron has had a huge influence on my life, and...

Hi Everyone, The final challenge crossing the Simpson Desert is "Big Red" - the largest (or at least most iconic) red sand dune of the seven day crossing. There are multiple different lines to choose from, and of course I took the hardest (steepest) one. In manual mode, low range, I...

It was unexpected for sure. I can't think of a better place to isolate for the mandatory 7 days tho! I hope you feel better - it's still hanging on for me, but I'm back to about 98%. -Dan

Hi Everyone, I have dreamed of crossing the Simpson Desert for most of my life, and after months of planning and preparation it absolutely did not disappoint! We spent 7 days crossing more than 1,300 bright red sand dunes, and didn't see a soul the entire time. Not everything went to plan...

Hi Everyone, Exploring the remote corners of the planet has always appealed to me, so crossing the mighty Simpson Desert has been on my radar for many years. The crossing involves crossing more than 1,300 sand dunes through 733km (460 miles) of deep sand and you won't see a soul for seven...

Hi Everyone, I think it's safe to say no visit to Australia would be complete without exploring the mighty Red Center. Smack in the middle of the continent there is so much to see and do from the mighty Uluru (Ayres Rock) to Kings Canyon, Palm Valley, swimming in stunning gorges, eating local...

Hi Everyone, We're very close to the red center of Australia now, and we set off on a little adventure into the Finke River Gorge. The Finke is known as the oldest river on earth, and the scenery absolutely did not dissapoint! We also teamed up with Matt in his diesel Ford Maverick (a...

Hi All, Australia has been experiencing unprecedented rainfall, which is causing massive flooding in many parts of the country. Tens of thousands of homes have been lost. Even in the desert there is way more rain than usual, and we got stranded for days waiting for one of the famous outback...

Hi All, We've been out exploring the Flinders Ranges for the last week. This wilderness National Park has hiking, 4x4ing, aboriginal rock art, tons of wildlife and absolutely stunning Rocky Mountains, canyons and dry river beds to explore. It's starting to feel like we're getting "Australia...

Hi All, People often ask me what do you really 'need' to go overlanding, and for a long time I've always thought the most important thing is a srong reason to get out there. WHY do you want to get out remote and explore? Maybe it's fishing, hiking, hunting or learning new cultures and...

Hi Everyone, We've moved West to what is virtually the center of Australia East to West - I saw a sign that said Perth was 2000kms West and Sydney was 2000kms East. (about 1250miles each way) Over here we've now moved directly north into the red center, and tackled Goog's Track, where we had...
