Dear ExplorOz.com site user,

More major updates on www.exploroz.com for your enjoyment...

Road Conditions:
Canning Stock Route	Finally, we have an official report current as at 4th May. The good news is that the WA VKS737 base has been given the responsibility to keep this report accurate. Stay tuned for regular updates!
Interactive:
Fuel Prices	Our system can now extract the prices from Shell DAILY. We don't bother much with metro pricing, but have focussed on the country/outback towns. At the moment, only Shell has this info in a format we can extract. We still need you to add the non-Shell locations please! We are still in the early phases of this programming so please bear with us until it is perfect.
Features:
Long Range Fuel Tank	We extend our fuel carrying capacity to 240L.
Snorkel	A must-have product for a real 4WD
Suspension	Standard suspension is not adequate if you carry a big load - we feature the "cream of the crop" on today's market.
Trek Notes:
Anne Beadell	now added to the Western Deserts region.
Wollemi National Park	now added to the Sydney/Blue Mountains region.

Adventure Shop:
Tell us what you want	Do you want more choice on the Adventure Shop? Please tell us precisely what you want and we'll investigate making it available online.

Survey Feedback - thanks to all those who have submitted a survey response - the results are very interesting indeed and we are seriously looking at all your suggestions. Congratulations to Bede Watts of NSW - our first winner in the new survey.
