I have been lucky enough to strike up a friendship with Glenn of "fourwheel drive adventure Oz (4wd adventure oz.com ..and leave out he spaces).
He leads a great tour, lots of good commentary and a sensible approach to difficult climbs. He won't take you where you might sustain damage.
Cheers,
Jim.

Tour leaders are great !. We have done
Brisbane forests (4 days),Vict High Country (14 days),Kimberleys (22 days) with Portmans (Geoff & Lisa),
Cape York with Guides to Adventure (Scotty Wales & Mary-Anne),Vict High Country with Guests (John & Charles) many bush adventures to
Carnarvon etc with my Mate Col Williams and every trip was magic..I now look forward to making a booking with Eric & co of Guides to Adventure to do the
Cape York trip again.possibly without the
Weipa run,as it would be great to see what it is like now they have built a concrete bridge over the Wenlock River..(We had to build a raft of drums/logs/wire to cross with our rigs)..Pro tour guides are a cut above the average Joe.They really earn their bread when guiding,catering,helping and generally "welding" the group of people from all walks of life,together..A friend once asked me "But what if you get some horrible people on the trip and have to suffer them every day and nite?" My reply "We don't have that problem,as,those types of folks stay at home and do their "adventures" with the TV remote control..!MPG:6!
