A perfect trip for beginners, a fun and relaxed way to learn the ropes, with expert support around you every step of the way. No pressure, just good company, great tracks, and the chance to build your 4WD confidence in the sand.
📍 Meet Point:
Meet at Tailem Bend Shell Servo at 3pm Friday 25th July, or join us at camp at your convenience later that day.
🏕️ Where We’re Camping:
We’ll be based at Comet Bore, just off the Ngarkat Highway (2WD access in dry conditions). This is a fully self-sufficient camping trip, no power, no facilities, just you, your gear, and a whole lot of adventure.
🎯 What’s the plan?
We’ll be exploring the southern end of Ngarkat (not the Border Track), with the aim of building skills in:
Sand driving & recovery techniques
Trip planning & vehicle prep
Confidence in varied off-road conditions
Perfect for first-timers, but still heaps of fun for seasoned drivers.
🧰 What to bring:
UHF radio
Basic recovery gear (get in touch with Paul if you need to borrow)
All your camping essentials (water, food, shelter, firewood etc.)
💰 Cost:
Camping fee TBC - will update soon.
Let’s get a crew together for this chill but skill-packed weekend in one of SA’s iconic sand environments.
