The Campfire

There’s just something about being alone in nature that makes you feel grounded and melts the stress right off your bones. In a world where we are constantly connected, by social media, by proximity and by ease-of-contact, it can feel rare to have a moment where you can step away from all of that and just be.

Getting unbogged doesn’t have to be a panic session, or a YouTube-worthy meltdown. If you follow a logical order and keep a cool head you’ll be back on track before your mates have time to dig out the camera for “recovery content”.

For most travellers, a stretch of gravel is a bit of a detour. For those of us who love exploring Australia, it’s often the start of the real adventure.

Whether it’s tackling rutted tracks or hauling the family to sports on a Saturday morning, the Pajero Sport is designed to handle just about anything Australia can throw at it.

We got our hands on our very own Triton and put it to the test in environments where power and torque become more than just numbers on a specs sheet.

These NSW 4WD tracks capture the best of what the state has to offer. They range from ocean-adjacent tracks to alpine adventures where the seasons matter and come in a range of difficulties, so pick your path and get into gear.

At Club 4X4, we believe a vehicle’s real character shows when the bitumen ends. That is why we took the MU-X off the beaten track to see how it performs where it really matters.

From rocky inland trails to coastal dunes, the best tradie ute needs to balance practicality with performance. With so many options on the market, finding the right fit can be overwhelming.

You look at your 4X4 and think: “I reckon it’s time for a lift.” Choosing the right suspension lift, however, isn’t just about cranking things skyward for the sake of it

The Snowy Mountains aren’t just for skiers and chalet types, they’re a playground for 4X4ers, campers, bushwalkers, trout fishos, and anyone who reckons a fire under the stars beats a heater in a hotel.

Victoria is home to some of Australia’s most diverse 4WD terrain, so whether you’re just starting out or looking for a bucket-list challenge, there’s something for every kind of driver.

So, you’ve made the decision to pack your life into a ‘home on wheels’ and say goodbye to the daily grind. Figuring out what stays, what goes, and what might put a little extra fuel money in your pocket can feel overwhelming at first. So, I thought I’d spin a yarn and share how I tackled it.
