subject: 4 Wheeling In The Outback, Not For The Beginner [print this page] When you think of the Outback, you most likely think about rugged terrain and four wheel drive vehicles. Four wheelin' in the Outback is not for the newbie, as it is truly a land where experience reigns.
The Outback is not known for the pristine nature of their roads, the good roads are even pretty rough, plus navigation is difficult. You need to be aware of the ground clearance, and this would be something you would know about if you are an experienced four wheeler. If you are not this is not the place to learn, there are bad roads, tree roots and potholes which will do damage to radiators, fuel tanks and tires. Worse can be the injury to you or even death in extreme circumstances. If you don't know 4 wheeling then travel with someone who knows the area and knows how to four wheel.
The best advice when in this region is to leave the four wheeling to the professionals and to make sure that you are prepared in case of emergency. It is also very important to make sure that you find out information regarding road conditions and possible road closings from local officials as they will best know which roads might become impassable after a storm or during a particular time of year.
To enable you to enjoy your Outback exploration to the maximum you need that information from the locals and the professionals, then you will have the best experience. You will find so many places to discover during your four wheeling trip, but you shouldn't take any risks as your safety should be uppermost in your actions.
One of the most challenging aspects of the Outback is, no matter whether you are 4 wheeling or driving a rented car, the roads are very difficult to navigate. So don't leave without talking to the local people, having a current map, water, first aid kit, a GPS navigation system and a cell phone with a sim card so you will be ready if there is an emergency. Choose the guided four wheel trip if you want to see it but don't have the experience.
