Dear ExplorOz.com site user, The outback travel season has well and
truly arrived. From all reports, the deserts and outback areas are receiving an
influx of visitors and comes at just the right time as the Simpson Desert
reopens and dries out. The ExplorOz team have been busy too...here's the latest! New stuff to check out: | Trek
Notes | | | Grampians
trek | New to the
treks is the Grampians National Park, west of Melbourne and an excellent weekend
or week
getaway. Popular for climbing, walking and 4WDing, its great for Winter
and Spring when the wild flowers come alive. | | Moreton
Island | An
excellent weekender less than 30kms from Brisbane. Moreton Island is a
4WDers dream and is a great city escape. Beach driving, fantastic scenery,
swimming (salt and fresh water) and walking are just some of the island's
many attractions. | | ExplorOz
Team | | | Travel
Diary | Michelle
& David are currently on an outback adventure sourcing more treks and
road testing the ExplorOz vehicle. Travelling up the Gunbarrel into Alice
Springs, along the Tanami and Gibb River Road - catch the latest on road
conditions and arm chair adventure! | | Road
Conditions | | | Latest
Report | Good news
on the roads. Conditions are drying out and the wildflowers are starting to
bloom. Its still rough and slow in the Simpson area, but passable with
care. | | Shop | | | Outback
WA | New to the
shop are 2 publications from Western Desert Guides. "The Canning
Stock Route - A Traveller's Guide" ($44) and "Blue Peaks and Red
Ridges" ($36.30) are the ultimate for outback WA. History buffs,
armchair travellers and 4wd enthusiasts will not put these down. In a
word...excellent! |
