New Trek
Note - SA Deserts TheOld
Andado Track traverses fascinating terrain
that includes mountain ranges, rocky gibber plains, desert sand dunes
and floodplains in the Red Centre just south of Alice Springs. 
It
truly is a breathtaking experience and one that you will not expect to
see in Central Australia. You can extend this trip to include Dalhousie
Springs or Finke, and it joins up nicely with the Simpson
Desert trek notes. This
trek note is in the new format
including reverse driving directions. Keep your eye on the Latest
Page Updates to see other Trek Notes that have been updated.

Year
of the Outback 2006 In the coming weeks you'll start to hear a
lot more about a key event taking place next year called the "Great
Outback Cleanup". As the name suggests, participants will
be driving 4WD vehicles on 19 designated tracks across Australia leaving
from capital cities and converging in Alice Springs in August 2006. The
objective is to collect rubbish along the way, beautifying these remote
areas and gaining positive media exposure for the 4WD industry. ExplorOz will be extensively involved
as one of the major sponsors to this event. Not only will we be involved
in media promotions, but we will be the first point of contact for
people wishing to find out about the logistics of participating. Stay tuned for
more details about the event in our next newsletter and keep your eyes
open for the launch of a massive media campaign to promote this key
event.
