PREPARATION GUIDE
Even the simple things like preparing your car for a safe family weekend away, we take nothing for granted not everybody grew up on a farm in the outback. Most outback adventurers are born and bred city folk, lets face it that’s where most of us work, most of the time.

Don’t let this stop you and the family enjoying the great Australian Outback or one of many beautiful beach location miles from anywhere or anybody.

What about Mums truck (the modern all wheel drive or crossover) with so many Dads away working up north and overseas. It's often left upto mum to organise the family holiday, are you feedup with the expensives resorts and the same old holidays, why not be bold. Plan your own family adventure holiday.

How do you prepare for and take the kids away safety and without loosing all your hair to stress. The mum and kids family adventure is only a few videos away, it’s all in the 3 P’s plan, preparation and practice. Rest assured there are so many tips on how to have and prepare for a safe and enjoyable family adventure you will relax and enjoy the whole experience. Lets not forget your outback mate stored in the laptop for when things get tuff. From how to check the oil in your vehicle and change a tyre to picking a camp site and lighting a fire for that Damper recipe the kids want to make.


ALL WHEEL DRIVE ADVENTURES
The 4 wheel drive, most people today drive an all wheel drive 4WD or soft off roader, these come in many shapes and sizes and let’s not forget cost. It doesn’t matter whether you drive a $5000.00 Subaru forester or a $100,000.00 BMW X5 you’ll generally have the same limitations and concerns regardless of cost. The vehicle ground clearance, tyres, motor and driveline, and lets not forget storage.  We provide plenty of planning tools on how to prepare your vehicle, what to take and even where to go.


ENJOYABLE OUTBACK FAMILY ADVENTURES
Your family holiday focus should be on enjoyable outback adventure travel for the whole family, if you spend the whole week digging your 4wd out of sandy bogs when you should have been fishing, camping or rock climbing. You will not enjoy your time away and more importantly nor will the little ones, if you have them on the trip either.

Plan your trip and enjoy your plan. There’s also a whole section on what to take and more importantly what not to take. An overloaded vehicle is dangerous, they use more fuel and your 4WD gets bogged more easily and more often.


4WD RECOVERY TIPS
There’s a whole section on how to drive in different condition, what to consider, and the most important thing when to get out and walk the track ahead. This single aspect has prevented me from getting bogged for years. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a boggy muddy track, deep sand ruts or driving in snow and ice a little prevention and preparation is all you need.  The right gear for the right job. We’ll discuss this in great depth in out 4WD recover section. You don’t need all that expensive recovery gear unless your travel adventures are listed as Extreme 4wd. For most adventure weekends and adventure holidays, a small amount of suitable equipment and sound preparation will get you there and back safely.


DISABLED ACCESS ADVENTURES
I’m often asked about disabled access 4WD adventures. Having a disability will not stop you or your family enjoying the outback.  There are plenty of adventures out there for everyone, of course there are limitations on where you can go, and how you might get there but mainly those limitations are in the mind of others. I have seen some of the most adventurous people I’ve ever met strapped into a wheel chair, these chairs come in all shapes and sizes, with massive fat wheels or cut down ski’s and others have been further improvised with technology developed from motorised off-road chairs.

No one said it’s going to be easy, and thats why god gave us a brain to improvise and find other solutions. One of my favourite activities to do with my own disabled son is fishing in our big red canoe. I added a supportive seat for him and an electric motor for me so that I could concentrate on helping him catch the illusive big fish.

Having travelled and lived all over Australia. We now live in Western Australia, we include adventures suitable for a wheel chair adventurer who loves fishing and canoeing. Sandy tracks are our challenge and a pain in the butt as the wheels get bogged, but these days our Australian national Parks and camp areas are better suited for access to all, This includes wheelchair access. There are even tree top walks suitable for wheel chairs, my son and other kids just love it.
