TRIP REPORTS
These are the major trips I have done in my XJ Cherokee and doesn't include all others I have done in other 4wd's. When you look at these maps you have to remember that Australia has the same land area as the USA but only 10% of the population. See bottom of the page for other places around the world that I have been fortunate enough to see.
Flinders & Gawler Ranges South Australian Coast to Goog's Track
All around Tasmania East Coast to Noosa Queensland
Darwin via the Birdsville Track Kalgoorlie via the Gunbarrel
Cape York and Lawn Hill Kimberley's and all of West Coast
Darwin via Alice Springs Simpson Desert crossing
