What a blast on Cape York this year! A great group of people to share time with, thank you all for making the trip brilliant! Loyalty beach was a hit of a place to stay great meals every night with lots of laughing and fun. We always stay in fantastic places seeing all the secret sites of Cape York! We will be on the Cape again in 2025 probably around the end of August keep an eye on our website we will post the dates very soon.

What a beautiful crossing of the Simpson and then down the Hay River track we have had over the past two weeks. The flowers were simply magnificent! The Desert is the greenest I have ever seen. The Dingoes are far and happy, sadly a few too many feral cats as well🤬. A great group of people, some mechanical issues including a complete shorting out of a Holden Colorado, which meant for the first time ever we had to call the recovery truck in😪 all in all though a fantastic trip enjoyed by every.

Wow wow wow! A phrase used a lot by one of my customers on the Canning this year!! Well we made it 24 days of isolation friendship and fun. What an amazing group of people to share time with, thank you one and all for coming with me.
And didn’t the Canning turn it on this year, I have never seen it so green, a couple of simple detours down south and then the huge one around Lake Gregory 50k’s of pure off road driving picking a safe route around the flood waters. We had permits for Mulan community as well as Balgo to enable us to do the detour. Definitely one for the memory bank and one to be only undertaken by an experienced traveller!
I can’t see the Northern end around well 51 opening this year there is just so much water out there we were at time 6 km off the lake and still we were going around water.
But what a trip the colours this year so so green felt at times we were driving in wheat fields.
The cars this year all handled remarkably well only a few tyres really to speak of. A little drama at 1:30 one morning when a Chinese diesel heater caught fire in a Trayon camper fire extinguishers to the rescue! But a fantastic trip with memories a plenty for everyone.
Thanks guys what an adventure!!

Day 10 of our 2024 Canning Stock Route tour, and we are having a rest day at Durba Springs. What a great spot to walk, see aboriginal art and chill out!

Our second crossing of the Simpson was an absolute hit. After everyone made it into Birdsville we had a wonderful trip. Thanks so much Jack for your comment below this is why I love my job.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for guiding us through the Simpson. Scenery, companionship, support and safety were all we could have hoped for.

Looking forward to joining you again on a subsequent trip,

Regards
Jack

The first of the Simpson loop trips was an amazing run through a vivid green desert. There were times we thought we were in Gippsland, it was that green, simply stunning with a fantastic group of people.

Another wet start to the year! Half way through our first Simpson loop trip.
Alice Springs is a sunny haven now but has had 130mm of rain so the Desert was another wet event. Had to navigate around the big salt pans and ended up at Rainbow valley instead of Chambers Pillar. Everyone made it through with not a single bogging.

Our first tour of the year done and dusted! What a remarkable week we had in the Victorian High Country. We could not have asked for better weather and a fantastic group of people. Thank you all so much. I am looking forward to seeing you all again on other tours.
We still have limited space on our November tour if any one is interested.

Welcome to hump day! Where would you rather be?

Let’s hope the Simpsons not this wet in 2024, this was taken on the wettest Simpson crossing I have ever done, back in May 2022. Had an absolute ball, join us this year have a spot left on our Simpson Hay River loop tours leaving at the end of March and also mid April.

2024 is upon us! So a brand new year to explore this remarkable continent we call home! Start the year off in the Simpson, my first Simpson Hay river track tour still has a couple of spots left on it. We leave Birdsville on the 30th of March, only two weeks after the desert opens for the season. The tracks should be in great shape after 4 months rest! 30 degrees during the day down to 21 degrees average temps are just glorious, and the bonus is there are less people out there enjoying it all.
Enjoy the challenge of dunes and then soak away the dirt in 37 degree water at Dalhousie Hot Springs before a beautiful meal at the iconic Mt Dare Hotel, then travel up to the explorers marker post Chambers Pillar before a rest day in Alice, don't get too comfy though the East MacDonnell ranges and then the magnificent Hay river track are still screaming for your attention!
This is always our most popular tour we only have a couple of spots left for our first trip of the year, secure your spot now. Visit www.tracks4x4tagalong.com.au to send through a booking form or give Adam a call on 0408780072

Join us in 2024 for some fantastic tours!We're off to the Canning again, either North South or South North, whatever suits you. Then come and have a blast with us in May on the new Maralinga Beadell Tracks tour, this one will rock you! We start the year with the Vic High Country and then into the Simpson, and our always popular Simpson Hay River tours are filling quickly, so secure your spot now. Then as always we head back to Cape York, always a popular one, where we offer either a full camping trip or you can pay extra and have 8 of the nights in accommodation.
Which ever way you look at it 2024 is shaping up to be a fantastic year!

26/12/2023

Well that's a wrap for 2023 and what a year it has been!
Thankyou to all of my wonderful travelling companions in making the year one to remember. We travelled from the Vic High Country all the way to the tip of Cape York, we covered the Gulf and Lorella Springs, always a highlight. We went up and down the heavily overgrown Canning Stock Route, travelled across and around the Simpson numerous times, and for the first time ever had to cancel a tour due to flooding throughout Central Australia!
What a year...Can't wait to see what 2024 will throw at us!
Here are some of the highlights from this year

What a great trip our second Victorian High Country was in November. A fantastic group of people and a bit of a change of route so that we could have a look at Blue rag range.

22/11/2023

Another fantastic trip up the Cape with a terrific group of people. Excellent weather, beautiful beach driving, swimming, a mix of camping and accommodation for some, and of course amazing camp fires to finish off each day.
Thanks to Chris Pavlich Photography for joining us on tour and as always, sharing some of his great shots.
Two more tours to go in the Victorian High Country to finish off the year, coming up in November. Can't wait!

Simpson Desert Loop Tour - A great start to our desert crossings with an awesome group.
Despite a massive down pour that closed the Hay River Track for our return trip, it didn’t dampen everyone’s spirits and we had some fun tackling the rising rivers and mud!
Thank you to the group for their patience and resilience!
