ExplorOz Profile
Operating since 2000, the ExplorOz website provides a comprehensive web-service for people seeking detailed
Australia-wide information. Focussed on satisfying the needs of people planning offroad trips where
camping and
caravanning is the key attraction, we aim to enthuse, inform, and entertain our audience to get out there and exploroz! Discover hidden destinations away from the crowds, learn something new about our country's heritage, brush-up your knowledge of
what to take and how to prepare your vehicle, learn tips and tricks for
camp cooking, and be inspired to sleep out under the stars (in both comfort and safety). With our smart but simple web-tools enable you'll soon be interacting with the 40,000 registered users that share photos, plotfiles, and waypoints and engage in active discussions with people just like you! In our
Places section, you'll find the most comprehensive Place-Name database in
Australia. You can create your own driving route using our
Driving Directions tool, go shopping for maps, guidebooks and special interest books along with digital mapping,
GPS and must-have
camping accessories, or you can buy or sell a vehicle, camper,
accessories, parts, and
camping gear from our
Trader. We really do have it all on ExplorOz.
The site is privately owned and is not funded by any Government or Tourism investment but is commercially funded by its own internal operations - online
Shop,
Trader, Personal
Membership, Business
Membership, and Media Advertising.
We believe people deserve open access to comprehensive, accurate data to allow them to make informed choices and planning decisions. As such, site content is unrestricted and free for public viewing throughout, however enhanced site tools, advanced features and discount structures are available to those who register as "Members" rather than "Visitors" and only paying Business Members (advertisers) will be promoted within destinations and product articles. Please ensure you read our
Terms of Use and be observant of all copyright and trademark protections.

Forum particularly after office hours. Whilst this team of dedicated folk deserve recognition for their tireless and often thankless work, they prefer to remain anonymous. We affectionately call the collective of
Forum Moderators the "ModSquad". You may contact a moderator to alert us to any potential breach of
Forum rules for consideration. To contact a moderator simply use the Alert Moderator button located immediatley beneath the post. This will send an email to all moderators.
