The trip was originally meant to be a Simpson Desert trip but abnormally high amounts of rain required a change in plans. We left from Brisbane headed West to Cunnamulla and then onto the Noccundra Hotel. The road was closed to get to Camerons Corner so we headed toward Innamincka. We past the Bourke and […]

Our first visit to Moreton Island was in February 2022. It is a beautiful spot and requires those who are taking their 4x4s to catch the Micat from the Port of Brisbane, the ferry ride is approximately 90 mins. You can access your car during the trip so you can deflate tyres on the way […]

We went to K’Gari in September of 2021. This was during a covid lockdown and we could not leave Queensland so decided it was the right time to visit K’Gari. We drove from Brisbane to Rainbow Beach and spent two nights there. We stocked up at the local butcher and grocery store. We explored Carlo […]

In March 2023 we travelled down to Victoria to explore some of the Victorian High Country. We stayed at the Dargo River Inn in one of their cabins which was amazing. Having a base allowed us to spend more of the day travelling and given we were only there for a few days it really […]

Our second crossing of the Simpson Desert in back-to-back years was also our most eventful. For this trip we would be entering the Desert from the North West so we left Brisbane bound for Longreach and Winton. We always enjoy the driver through outback Queensland and it is a reminder of how big this beautiful […]

Our first trip to the Simpson Desert was really when the Real 4×4 Adventures concept was born. In doing research for our trip it was really hard at the time to understand what was under prepared, appropriately prepared and overkill when preparing the vehicle and desired route. A desert trip should not be taken on […]

Cape York September 2016 was our first real adventure in our 4×4. We flew the 2 younger kids to Cairns with Dayel whilst Aspen and Andrew drove to Cairns. In Cairns we met some of our travelling companions (Andrew’s parents) and headed north to Cross the Daintree Ferry where we met up with our other […]

Great beach for 4x4ing and day trips but also amazing beach camping. Fires are allowed in designated spaces at the campsites. There is one camping area with toilets and outdoor showers.

One of the longer drives from Brisbane, just out of Stanthorpe there is some great 4x4ing and camping. We have only been out once and have not been deep into the National Park but further into the Park there is meant to be some fairly rough 4x4ing and more isolated great camping spots.
