A great post from Australian 4X4 Treks - 4WD Adventures in Australia & New Zealand about Garmin’s Inreach.
Personally I haven’t left home without a tracker for about 15 years. In the last 5 years or so the addition of two way messaging has made it invaluable

Saved me writing a post, thanks Tony 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Here is another piece of gear that I use every day. The 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢 is, for all intents and purposes, a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB - similar to an EPIRB but on land) that can be used to raise the alarm in an emergency. Not only that, it's also a 2-way GPS communicator, meaning you can send and receive text messages in an emergency situation, or just to text your wife and tell her you're still alive when you're out in the boonies.

Another great function is the tracker. When activated, it pings the satellite every 10 minutes and marks your position on the map which can be accessed on a website. This web address can be shared with anyone you would like to keep an eye on your position. It's also very small and lightweight, meaning there's no excuse to leave it in the car if you're going for a walk.

And we know they work. While in the Simpson Desert earlier this year, I got a call via Starlink from the Birdsville Police asking me if I could pick up a solo motorcyclist who had stacked his bike which was now unrideable. Being unable to contact anyone back home, and being in a very wet and muddy Simpson Dessert, the guy with the bike had set off his inReach. Later on the following day, we managed to get to him and pile his gear (minus the bike) on my vehicle and give him a ride the 2 days back to Birdsville.

The interesting thing was that I got to hear exactly how the process went for him with the inReach. Because it's based in the USA, they have to call Canberra, who then called the nearest State (NT, Darwin), who then called the nearest Police (Birdsville). But this all happens fairly quickly, and there is constant 2-way messaging to let you know what's going on. Yes, it was probably a shock for his family back home to hear that he had initiated a rescue, but at least they knew he was alive and in the process of being extracted.

Along with being sensible and letting someone know where you're going, a PLB/tracker is a very handy piece of safety equipment.

Maureen Deegan's mum had to relearn her own language, Jaru, which she had not been allowed to speak. Now Maureen is helping others to keep their languages alive.

When the hat is on I am working. This is summer guiding mode in southern Australia while the north of Australia has the wet season 😜 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I also offer guide training that provides ecoguide certification and for those working up north, training and a pathway to Savannah Guide accreditation.

Guides are the face of tourism, experienced and professional accreditation helps you deliver a memorable experience for your guests. It is so much fun, out about showing people the best Australia has to offer.

This is what a guest said about this trip in 2024

“The entire trip was brilliant and I felt so privileged to be travelling with See Around Corners, due to the special relationships Michael has developed with many senior Indigenous leaders which resulted in extraordinary cultural experiences for his guests. I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of experiences included, the flexibility and the wonderful grand finale sunset dinner cruise on Katherine Gorge which allowed us to all talk over the fun of the past 10 days, relax, enjoy an outstanding meal together and make our farewells.
It was fantastic travelling with a Savannah Guide whose professionalism, knowledge and organisational skills were exceptional and Michael was unfazed by and able to respond efficiently to any issues or last minute changes which rose unexpectedly”
