4WD track building

One of my favourite things is to build new 4WD obstacles at my training centre near Braidwood, that’s what I’m doing this weekend.

Oprah you haven’t seen anything

Can you imagine what Oprah would say if she had come with us to the  Hay River in the Simpson Desert or Dimond Gorge in the Kimberley?

2011 what a year

Well, hasn’t 2011 been a crazy year already, all this water! The good thing is, when it finally drains away the outback is going to look incredible, just imagine what our Darling River trip is going to be like.

Flight of Fantasy

Well, just arrived home after 5 days of flying over Outback Australia, WHAT A TRIP!!!!  Everyone should do this, I have never seen the outback look like this in my 30 years of travel. Water laying everywhere from Roxby Downs to Bedourie. Saw the ferry on the Birdsville Track, the head of the flood between the Track and Lake Eyre, the Dig Tree, the Burke & Wills Bridge, the Eyre Creek northern crossing whch opened the day we flew over and flooding of the claypans either side of Big Red. Lake Eyre is 80% full, more than last year and they think the Cooper when it flows into it will make it overflow into Lake Eyre South, that has not occurred for a very long time. Will have photos in my gallery as soon as I overcome a glitch with my internet link??

They say the ferry will be operating for 8 months on the Track, not sure if that is the case, but i can conform the trip takes about 10-15 mins one way including laoding and unloading, no camper trailers or carvans though, only the 4WD will fit.

A trip to the Punt on the Birdsville Track

I have designed a trip out to see the Punt on the Cooper Creek across the Birdsville Track, the Cooper last crossed the Track in 1990, so here is your chance to see history in the making, if inetrested email me info@greatdividetours.com.au

Flying Over Lake Eyre June long weekend

I’ll be flying over Lake Eyre this Friday, then Coongie Lake/Innamincka on Saturday and the Cooper Creek where it crosses the Birdsville Track on Sunday, follow me via my SPOT tracking device, see the home page for the link. It’s going to be fantastic.

More NZ trips to come

After the success of my 7 day trip I now have another 7 day trip planned for the north west of the Sth Island plus a fantastic weekend escape 2 day 4wd trip around Arhtur’s Pass, drop me an email if interested.
