AllOffroad 4x4 | Simpson Desert Fringes | Welford NP & Alroy and Mechanical Issue | 2023 Part 6 @AlloffroadAu | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Join me, Stephan Fischer, on a captivating journey through Welford National Park, but with a twist this time. Our adventure begins on the tranquil River Drive, where we camp at the serene Little Boomerang Waterhole. It's the perfect start, surrounded by nature's calm.
On the second day, we gear up for the Desert Drive, a 4WD challenge through stunning red sand dunes and spinifex plains. However, adventure often comes with unexpected turns. I encounter a mechanical issue with my vehicle, adding a real-world twist to our exploration. This unforeseen hiccup means we have to cut our trip short, but not before soaking in the beauty of Welford's rugged landscapes.
The journey back isn't just a retreat but an exploration in itself. We make a stopover at Alroy Station, a personal favorite of mine and a beautiful oasis in the midst of our rugged journey. This place always offers a warm welcome and a chance to reflect on our adventures.
On the final leg home, I discover a new free campsite in Nyngan. It's a hidden gem that I can't wait to share with you. This unexpected find is a reminder that every journey, no matter how well planned, always holds surprises.
This trip to Welford National Park may not have gone exactly as planned, but it's these unplanned moments that often make for the most memorable adventures. So, join me as we navigate the unexpected, revel in the beauty of the Australian outback, and discover new gems along the way. 🚙🏞️🔧

In the 3rd episode of our 2022 Simpson Desert 4wd adventure, we leave the Madigan line and explorer the Southern end of the Hay River Track. We spend the night at an old Indigenous Midden site, have a very close Dingo encounter, and Steve gets himself stuck on one of the Hay River dune crossings. We find a beautiful camp spot between the gidgee trees spoiled by inconsiderate low lives who cant dig holes for toilet paper and crap in sand.... I also have a look if On Track Meals are worth taking and go through Stevess Troop Carrier Set up.

In Part 3 of our Victorian High Country 4wd adventure, we tackle the supposedly very challenging Mt Sunday track in the wet after a very stormy night and little sleep on top of Mt Sunday 1200m. The actual 4wd track did not disappoint. You need to be constantly alert and on your toes, as its very narrow and has many logs hidden in the foliage, which is creeping in. Some interesting and very slippery slate steps mixed with muddy descents and steep rocky ascents ensure an eventful half-day. In our case, the track was quite punishing for some and there was a fair bit of panel damage.
