From a recent trip down into the southern forests of Western Australia. Coodamurrup Hut Fish Creek as a storm rolled in - dropped the corner of the awning to allow the water to run off.

As long as there is no sharp edges you can connect a soft shackle to a hitch. Karl

Here in Australia, all hitches are rated for snatching. Karl

Having been made redundant recently, I now have a bit of time on my hands so last week I headed of on a 4WD and camping trip with a couple of other guys. We headed down to the south western part of Western Australia and spent three days exploring the D'Entrecasteaux Nation Park and had a ball...

Originally the weather report was for 38 degrees Celsius but they got it wrong and it is a dry heat not humid so it is bearable (just :blush:). Karl

From a recent trip into the north eastern Wheatbelt Region of Western Australia and on this particular day the temperature reached a balmy 48.6 degrees Celsius (119.48 degrees Fahrenheit) :tonguewink: :tonguewink: Karl

I have just put together a video and uploaded to my new YouTube Channel about this trip. Unfortunately things didn't go to plan and I had some major technical issues: 1. Firstly the sound recording kit didn't arrive in time so there is no commentary, 2. My drone had a major malfunction (I...

Part 4 From Mt Jackson we decided to start heading back home as the temperature was still in the 40s and even though there was still one Homestead that we wanted to find; however, the temperature was beating us :disappointed: :disappointed: So we turned south and headed to our second night...

Part 3 From Kykura Homestead we headed north towards Mt Jackson Homestead and along the way we crossed numerous salt lakes and one of these lakes still had remnants of the old wooden roads that they made to cross the salt lakes so that they wouldn't get bogged which back then meant almost...

Part 2 After a good nights sleep (even though it was hot) we were up early and headed off and the plan for the day was to find two ruined homesteads. As with the previous day it was going to be rather warm so we decided to head of early to make the most of the cool morning, which didn't last...

Recently I was made redundant, so with a bit of spare time and needing to clear my head to plan what to do next I decided to head out bush for a few days with a mate and explore the north eastern Wheatbelt and Yilgarn Regions of Western Australia. Even though this area is about 4 hours drive...

Well, I just got made redundant from my job so to celebrate I got up at 0400 h (4 am for civvies) to do a sunrise photo shoot down at the beach. Rather than shooting into the sun I turned and faced west to try and capture the purple and blue colours - I think I did okay :grinning: Now that I...

Nice look truck :laughing: Its good to see what you guys in the US do with your Frontiers - I have a Navara D40 (same vehicle) here in Australia. Karl

Welcome - I do a lot of trips out into the Wheatbelt to visit the granite rocks etc - also I grew up in Northam. Karl

Anytime - I will take you to some remote but wonderful country :grinning: And it will be a great experience sitting on the correct side of the vehicle and driving on the right (left) side of the road :laughing::laughing::laughing: Karl

The newer model of the Navara - the NP 300 / D23 has coils - the D40 only has leafs in the rear. One of the reasons for diesels is because in a lot of remote areas you can't get petrol as they only sell diesel, so something to be aware of if you ever come here and want to go for a drive. Karl

Mine is the 2.5 litre turbo diesel with the auto transmission - diesels are more popular here in Australia but there are a few petrol ones around. All my 4WDs have been diesels :grinning: Karl
