We talk to Brian, one of the 4x4earth moderators about a long weekend away at Robe where 5 4WDs rolled over. 

What happened?  Why?

We also talk about the Granites.  Have you been to the Granites?  Have you driven up there?  Is a 4WD up on the rock one of the most iconic 4 wheel drive selfy shots?

Brian talks about the 32 mile crossing and then on to 42 mile crossing for lunch.

On the way back there is a vehicle stuck with a tyre rolled off the rim and the vehicle was bogged well down in the sand near the water's end, forcing the convoy to take a high line around the bogged truck.  Trev hits a tuft of weed and has a slow rollover.  Brian talks about how they recover Trev's car and the vehicle that was originally bogged.

Why didn't they try to start the vehicle?  How did they get him off the beach? 

Brian talks about the recoveries and how no one gets left behind.  There were 5 rollovers in 1 weekend at Robe. 

Brian talks about his favourite track, around Arkaroola, which is an amazing part of Australia.  I had never heard of it, it is definitely a hidden gem in Australia.

Ron talks about the High Country, Robe and South America.

Ron travelled through Brazil and Argentina.

We talk 4 wheel tourism.  Which state does Ron think is doing the best in providing access?

four wheel driving touring brings in a lot of tourism dollars, and the more Councils and local businesses understand this, the more likely we are to get tracks open.

What about vehicles?  Are vehicle designs changing the way that we drive and the places that we go?

How have online booking systems impacted the 4 wheel driving camping industry?
