PROJECT HILUX: KING BROWN EXHAUST
After chatting with Damien Richter from Pacemaker Headers, I was excited to ditch the factory tailpipe in favour of one of their sleek, durable and highly rated King Brown exhaust systems.

The Dead Heart: The Madigan Line Pt 3: Desert Lessons
I spend another night in a stand of tall dead gidgee trees in the lee of the wind between 10m dunes. Their wan bare limbs reach up to the stars. The ground is getting redder as I travel further west. The wildflowers brighter and thicker. The northwestern Simpson Desert becomes gradually lusher, as deserts go, with every dune I cross now…

DON’T LOSE CONTROL – Speed Kills on Land and Water
Being a good driver isn’t about speeding into heightened danger, it’s about driving to conditions and maintaining a safe speed that enables you to react to any situation, – and that also applies when you’re steering a boat.

Step 1: remove every single thing that isn’t bolted down from Dunes.
Step 2: spend the next few hours trying to figure out how to fit it all back in.

You used to have to buy ridiculously overpriced alpine gear for expedition bags, but I’m running all @darcheoutdoorgear bags now. They’ve been from coast to coast, on boats, in the dirt, planes, trains and they’re legendary.
A good bag is hard to find…a great bag is impossible to destroy.

@outbacktagalongs Swipe left to see my first ever barra: a 90cm silver sheila who gave me a fierce fight on the bank of the Pentecost River.
This muddy-tailed 80 is from the Nulla Nulla, only accessible by chopper but just around the corner from the Pentecost crossing on the Gibb.
I was absolutely hooked from the start, and I think I always will be. Once you've fought a barra and won, you'll forever be chasing that dragon.
Our Kimberley Photo Tagalongs always include a day at the Pentecost hunting the drug that hooking a barra truly is. @carlislerogers @elquestro @homevalleystation

Crossing the Madigan Line in Ghost, boiling the billy on gidgee embers before the sun rises.
The third densest timber in the world, this stuff is the best camp oven fuel in the country.
Now that it's campfire season again, what's your favourite firewood? cypress pine? gidgee? mountain ash? western cedar?
