    4WD Touring Australia TV Show

    I stumbled on the show on my TV guide last week in the middle of the night on channel One. I have TiVo so gave it a season pass meaning it will record all upcoming episodes.

    Well I just watched 2 episodes and have to say that No Question The Best 4wd touring show I have ever watched. Informative, right on topic, no real blatant advertising or advertorial content. Educated and Informative.

    Apparently you can see it at the website too and I have no idea if it is associated with a Magazine. Certainly did not indicate anywhere during the show that it was mag based.

    Very impressed! Highly rated 1 hour show showing the best that the Aussie outback has to offer with very professional production.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Yeah it looks like it but there is zero advertising really in the show. Impressive content.

    Here is the link to the episodes

    Yeah that's the one. I just watched that episode I think and to be fair that was 2minutes out of 50 and it was just naming a sponsor. The travel he is doing though was awesome and his understanding of geology and geography is great, I enjoyed it much more than anything I have seen produced by Pat Callinan or any of the other crews. He kept the content pretty real and targeted straight at us rather than the grey nomad.

    Interesting. It was misinformative about the chip. I understand they need sponsorship but it just got to me. I will perserver next time and watch a bit more.

    Yeah his accent is a little odd but he sounds like he has been here since he was very young mate. Not much accent there. It put me off to start with as I couldn't place it because it was so vague. I worked past it and his knowledge and commitment to the Culture and history of the Outback was worth the pain. I enjoyed it and will make sure I watch and save for future research and planning of where I want to go. Can't imagine saying the same thing about anything Pat Callinan has produced.

    This show has been around for years.... Mags cannot stand hearing his voice.

    I did prefer it as it is a little more laid back and actually tells you some history and a bit about the areas he is visiting...

    Oh and he doesnt drive a sell out Colorado or f%$king Beetle.......
