Over in the States at the moment and dreaming of beach camping missions in the trusty Hilux back in Australia.

Good people and a cracking evening under the stars by the fire…it honestly doesn’t get much better 🙌🏼

Throwback to an evening with the gang from on a recent shoot at

Outback essentials:
Expedition134 Boxes
Pro Quip International Diesel Jerries
Darche Swag

Especially the Expedition134 Boxes. I’ve used these for years and out of all the gear and food storage solutions I’ve used and tested, these are my absolute favourite. No dust, no water, no ants or vermin, no dingoes or goannas rummage through food stores.

The fact they’re Australian Made Campaign and a small Aussie business run by some absolute legends who actually get out and tour remote just adds to why they’re an easy choice.

I’ll take this sort of ride over a theme park every time. Love a day on the tracks with good company 🤙

How about you?

🐪 Came across this caravan of camels just on sunset in the Strzelecki Desert heading back to Queensland from Western Australia with

While they're not technically native, seeing them out in places like this just feels right. Got to hang out with them via the drone for a good 15min before they tired of our presence and headed off.

With all the rain, it felt a bit too green for a desert. Lucky to see the country like this 👌

Overnight stop in the Flinders Ranges back in November last year. A simple camp, but the million star view sure made up for it!

For solo travel I find myself gravitating to intentionally simple camping setups. Less is really more.

“What is this life, if full of care, we have no time to stare.” - Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

This campsite along the southern WA coastline gave me reason to ponder the above quote. 70 meter cliffs rising above the dunes, the immense stillness punctuated only by the cry of birds of prey, w***y wag tails, finches and gusts of wind from the beach 1km away.

And the privilege of fellow travelers who appreciate the true beauty of such a place. The two days spent at this place will last long in my memory 👌🏼

Eight years, 260,000km all across Australia, zero mechanical problems and thousands of adventures. I’m starting to get attached to this Hilux…might have to finally give it a name 😂

Can we also take a moment to appreciate the sweet Peak Series Tub Topper 🙌🏼

Great write up from Troy Bignell 👍

When it comes to protecting the front-end of your rig, nothing beats a bull bar. More than just a couple of bits of metal, we talked with TJM about what goes into making a bull bar.

Never too old to play in the sandpit, they just get bigger and the Tonka trucks more expensive 😂

Had a great time exploring the dunes near Lake George in South Austraila with , and .

Nothing quite like a quick overnight stop with a simple camp that just works. Over the years I’ve found that less is more and having a simple but high quality camp set up makes life so much easier.

My core kit goes in four boxes organised and labeled into the following:
Sleep Box - with my sleep system of tent, mattress, sleeping bag and pillow plus a blanket
Gear box - with my knives, , head torch, handheld UHF, spares, batteries and the like
Kitchen box - with my Kinjia stove, cook set, plates and cutlery, plus condiments in containers
Food box - with all my food stores outside of what’s in the fridge. This keeps it in one location and makes sure that no vermin or animals can gain access

What’s awesome with this setup is that when I get home from a trip, everything easily comes out and is stored in its box ready for the next trip. And the back of my Hilux is free for carrying other stuff.

Expedition134 have just started back in production after a few months, they are seriously a fantastic storage option.

The rest of my kit you can check out and purchase through if you’re looking for quality gear 👍🏼

Just got back from an epic 5,000km overland trip from Queensland through New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

Took a detour and drove over the Brindabella Range just out of Canberra. Stunning views and a fun drive. Can’t believe I’ve driven past this area and never explored it before. On the list to revisit for sure 👌🏼

“There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” - John Ruskin

This Easter long weekend in Cooloola sure gave that quote a run for its money 😂

From sunshine through to heavy rain, strong winds and a weather warning that saw us leave a day early. We all had a blast, our gear held up and my two girls learned to enjoy the sound of wind gusts buffeting the tent and the feel of driving rain on the face as we watched the wild surf.

Hope you all had a great weekend! ✌🏼😊
