But will a spot of rain cause their trip to end in tears? Leash and Borgy are joined by their good mate Bri in the Toyo Tyres Hilux, as they search for gold around Hill End. Tough tracks, great campsites, and a photo challenge the guys can't afford to lose...
It's nearly full-time in the Offroad state of Origin, and our teams have one last chance to show their state in all it's glory, with their Best Local Tracks! Jess and Jamie, along with Nick from Opposite Lock, head north to the hills behind Mackay for some Aussie history and tough 4WDing in the red clay hills! Borgy and Leash hit up a NSW favourite - The Watagans! Steep hills, plenty of mud, and a bunch of tough tracks!
Borgy and Leash have headed West to Silverton to start their four part journey across NSW, but thats all they know... Where to next? That's the challenge! Berrima Diesel have joined the crew for the first leg of this journey through outback NSW, and it is beautiful this year with recent rainfall bringing everything alive. We visit some well know places & get to see some simply incredible places.
We discover some hidden gems in part 2 of our cross-country adventure through NSW. There's good laughs, great touring routes, and even a trip up one of the highest tracks in Northern NSW!
This week Borgy and Leash are joined by Blake & Kosta from Tough Dog, and Mark & Shaun from Signature Campers, as the crew continue working eastwards across NSW! After trying their hand at fly-fishing, they jump back in the rigs and hit one of NSW's most iconic touring tracks - any guesses where they're headed?
In the final part of the our NSW adventure, Borgy and Leash are jumping in a blow-up raft and hitting the white-water rivers of Northern NSW with Mark and Shawn from Signature Camper Trailers for some real off-road adventure! Next, they visit Australia's largest dog, before tackling a 4WD track that hasn't been driven in years... And it's not going to be easy!
Jamie and Jess kickstart their Victorian trip with a visit to Mallacoota, hoping to find their first clue! With epic views, great 4WDing, and little bit of pioneering history.
This week Jess and Jamie are joined by Blake and Kosta from Tough Dog Suspension, as they head deeper into the Victorian High Country. Jamie takes the crew to another historic hut, before we hit one of the biggest bog holes we've ever seen down here! Have we found the biggest boghole in the Vic High Country?
Lewis from GME joins Jamie and Jess for the next stage of their adventure across Victoria! Kicking off at Lake Hume, we point the rigs towards some lesser-known tracks on our way to the Mighty Murray River! There's hidden huts, Australia's smallest pub, gold-rush history, a prickly visit to Cactus Country, paddle steamers, and a kayak race!
We're back on the road with Lewis from GME, and heading even further west to Murray Sunset National Park and beyond! Along the way we take a couple of historic detours, grab some desert driving to prepare for our upcoming Special, before finally crossing the border into South Australia, where we head to Loveday 4x4 for some serious offroad action! We jump on the jetskis, hit 160kmh in a CanAm, and Jess races a 3rd Grader on the track!
The Simpson Desert is an iconic touring destination, a place that every 4WDer dreams of crossing! It's a rite of passage, a box that must be ticked... a bucket list adventure! Crossing the Simmo by normal 4WD? Nah, that'd be too easy! This year the Offroad Adventure Show are crossing the Simmo, "OR BUST" style! Back in 1962, the Sprigg family headed into the vast Simpson Desert in a G60 Patrol, and so we've challenged our team to cross the dunes in other vehicles that were available way back in the 1960s. While Jess and Jamie have got themselves an immaculate Series 2 Land Rover that's proven it's offroad credentials around Australia, Leash and Borgy are going to be doing it the hard way, in a 1943 Chevrolet Blitz! Will the vehicles be ready? Will all our hosts make it to the starting line? And if they do, how will they go crossing the 1000+ sand dunes that make up the Simpson Desert?
Well, the Blitz just managed to roll into Birdsville last week under it's own steam last week, but now the real work begins. Is it just a blown head gasket or is there something even more problematic hiding in this antique engine? Is the adventure over before it's begun? Will Matt, Leash, & Kal get it running again? How many camel pies will Jamie eat in the meantime? And will anyone manage to get up Big Red?
With Big Red behind them, and the Blitz re-joining the convoy, it's time for the crew to hit the desert. First stop is "Nemesis" - the 2nd largest dune in the Simmo, which can be just as challenging as Big Red. So challenging that we manage just 12km in 1 day, as we drive into the fading light to find camp... There's going to be winching, recoveries, break downs, and busted rigs...
It's taken plenty of time, but we've finally made it to Poeppel corner. But we're not across the desert yet! We've still got to tackle the French Line... If hour long winch fests, vehicle breakdowns, and some of the most stunning desert sunsets you'll ever see don't float your boat, let's try adding a dumped camper trailer to the back of the Blitz! Will we make it to Mt Dare? Or will this adventure be a total BUST!
