Australia's Coral Coast is an epic place to explore. Cervantes to Exmouth Gulf, this 2960km journey from Perth is a road trip that can be appreciated time and time again for its incredible sights and experiences. Dive with whale sharks, explore remote sea lion habitats, and navigate rugged hinterlands featuring gorges and coastal cliffs. Enjoy the challenge of off-road destinations like the Kennedy Range National Park and the unique Dirk Hartog Island.

In our Autumn Issue of Western 4W Driver Magazine, history-buff and regular contributor John Collins takes us on a deep dive into Dirk Hartog Island / Wirruwana, reflecting on its history and exploring the modern-day, 4WD experience. Expect a bit of added luxury to your average off-road adventure.

Feast on fresh local seafood and explore under the vast night skies. Perfect for those seeking adventure beyond the beaten track.

LandCruiser 70 Series is top vehicle. One way to make them even better? Bendix Brakes.

Bendix Workshop Electric Park Brake is a cost-effective solution for adding a little more security to your braking system. To provide additional holding ability, the Bendix EPB features rear left and right single piston calipers that act on the rear disc brake rotors.

Convenient ‘bolt-in’ fitment means no change to the car’s hydraulic mechanism, pad shape or original park brake.

Say goodbye to roll aways.

What an absolutely wicked adventure with the I-Venture Club of Isuzu UTE Australia hosted by our regular contributor and lead club trainer David Wilson!

David specializes in helping rookies and enthusiasts use their 4WDs for what they were made for - off-road adventuring, and he does a darn good job of it 👍🏻

We joined him for one of his training sessions out at Lancelin Sand Dunes and had a ton of fun hitting the sand and navigating the features of the Isuzu D-Max.

From ’driving it like we stole it’ for smooth runs up steep ascents, to tackling thrilling near-vertical descents, to unbogging a deeply buried vehicle, David runs through all the essentials in the most engaging way possible.

If you own an Isuzu, it’s well worth jumping onboard one of these sessions to make the most of your vehicle. Check out iventureclub.com.au for their next adventures in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.
