Sadly this is a scenario which is being played far too often, big caravans latched onto vehicles that don't look right to tow the van. I'm not saying the vehicle can't handle a specific weight in towing mode, but there are lots of real life factors which can and do happen and mostly people get...

This may not be an unusual or even a custom 4wd ~ but it is different. Safe Travels : JF

Peter Robert Brett ~ 10 July 1982 ~ 21 August 2018 He went on a Adventure and never came back, but we will be with him some time, just not today. Remembering a nice bloke who lived and died in my lifetime. Safe travels : Joe Fury

All good thanks Aaron, can't complain even if the day time temperatures are consistently in the mid forties, with only a few degrees below 30 over night, but how things are in the Pilbara right now, it's not great touring weather but we still get 'out and about' as much as possible, this might...

G'day Aaron Thank you and your family for allowing us all to travel with you, I for one enjoyed being taken back to some of the places my wife and our two boys visited and enjoyed many years ago, lovely memories actually ~ thanks mate. Safe travels : Joe Fury

G'day Adventurers Seems like a hell of a lot of thought and effort has to go into the making of ice or more accurately 'ice cubes' these days. My rather dated Engel fridge manages to keep the contents cool/cold depending on it's thermostat setting, works well for a 30 year old fridge, but what...

It is now five years since Mr RUM ~ signed off from 4X4Earth, he is still prominent in my memory and even more so when I am 'out and about'. I was wandering through the folds of ancient land that makes up the Ophthalmia Range, just north/west of my home base and took the track in towards a...

G'day Ralphee Firstly, my most sincere condolences to you regarding the loss of your friend in such a tragic way. I for one personally thank you for sharing your knowledge of and connection to the man who lost his life, actually is very important because it gives (me) some closure to what must...

G'day Adventurous Earthlings I've just this morning heard news regarding a 'death' on the Canning S/R. Going by the news feed the incident happened last Tuesday just after 11.00 am WA time, the man was killed during an attempt to free his bogged vehicle, a PLB/EPIRB was activated in response...

G'day Shane I appreciate your reply and understand the 'Once in a Lifetime' quote, but what got me was the totally stupid follow on, most of the people being interviewed said is that they had seen/experienced several other Solar Eclipse events from different places around the World, so just by...

G'day Shane Good day star gazer Earthlings, the Exmouth Solar Eclipse has to go down as a sight to be seen, but only with 'special' eclipse gazer cardboard viewing spectacles, available at your friendly local residents sales tent ~ cash only thanks! I can appreciate the scientific value in...

G'day cam04 Funny thing about memories of times and things from many decades ago and in respect of communications from that era, I used to run a base station from a place called Mount Carbine, in Far North Queensland (FNQ) and this was all done from my caravan annex, via a Higain side band 27...

G'day Earthlings Boobook, you have raised a very interesting subject and it's a subject that's quite relevant to me simply because I actually boot up my HF radio in my Land Cruiser two seconds after the engine fires up, it is a dead set habit, maybe a ritual but I do it without hesitation even...

G'day cam04 Just by what you've written/described you were most certainly perched on the summit of Jarndrunmunhna/Mount Nameless, hydrated or not it is a specie view, you just have to look towards the Karijini National Park. Safe travels : Joe Tom Price from Mount Nameless Looking...

G'day Colly18 Amazing to think back over such a span of time, but the registered publican of the Fortescue Hotel in Wittenoom in that late 1980's era passed away from Mesothelioma, he never ventured up into the area of the mine, but the deadly lung disease took it's toll. We were workmates for...

G'day cam04 In my minds eye, standing on top of WA's tallest (sic)mountain at 1249 metres gives you a view of a few significant things, looking to the east, you are seeing BHP's - newest masterpiece in environmental prize winners known as South Flank, this monstrosity is their state of the art...

G'day Albynsw Sadly for such an incredibly beautiful part of the Hamersley Range(s) ~ Wittenoom is a cursed name and place, the town in it's heyday had the largest population even by todays standards. The town was in deep decline when I first visited it back in the late 1980's but it was well...

G'day Earthlings Greed, money and influence seems to be the driving factor of society, at least that's how I see it and I am not saying a person shouldn't want to achieve and strive for better in his or her life. Colly18 touches on something that is disturbingly real, very tangible and visible...

G'day Earthlings I feel as though an explanation is required for the reason behind the deletion of my post regarding a particular confrontation with mine site supervisor/employee in the Pilbara. What I had posted was 100% true and accurate, though I did not state a time or day, I could have...
