From ARB to Clearview to Maxxis, there’s a tonne of brands on display to suit all of your outdoor adventure needs. Make sure to check out the online directory to work out where each brand will be situated and help plan out your day. Making a list of where you need to go and who you’d like to see is one way to make sure you get the most out of your day!
The camp oven cook
If there’s one thing I personally need to improve, it’s getting more creative when it comes to my camp food. Each time I pitch a tent, the menu typically consists of kebabs on the BBQ and a pre-packed salad. However, at the National 4×4 Outdoors Show, Mick The Camp Oven Cook, is teaching attendees how to get started, manage the heat and master camp oven cooking. If you’re like me and need to brush up on your camp cooking skills, you can’t miss these yarns. Check out the sessions below:
Outback Stage
Everyone’s favourite: the Outback Stage will feature a tonne of 4×4 personalities at this year’s show. Pat Callinan will be there sharing some great stories about his epic run across the continent. He’s even going to bring his latest builds that took him across the country in Season 15 of Pat Callinan’s 4X4 Adventures. If you’re keen to check out Pat’s brand new Ford Everest and Ford Ranger V6, you can’t miss this yarn. Check out the schedule to find out what times Pat will be on stage and organise yourself accordingly.
We’ll also be seeing Graham and Shaun from 4WD 24/7 grace the stage to chat about behind the scenes moments and answer some of your questions!
You’ve likely seen Matt Baker from The Explore Life all over YouTube inspiring adventures for newbies and enthusiasts alike. Matt will be on the Outback Stage this year to chat all things thrill seeking and adventure.
Brianna and Bridget, the girls from Red Dirt Diary, will feature on the Outback Stage too. It was only less than a year ago two best friends found themselves sitting around a campfire throwing around the idea of having a female-only hosted show. Now they’re here to inspire fellow women in the 4×4 world, as well as the rest of the community with the tips and advice they have learnt along their adventures.
In addition, Jase Andrews, the host of Australia’s number one four-wheel-drive and adventure show, All 4 Adventure, will be up on the stage. As well as full-time YouTuber, Tyler Thompson, who is taking the stage with his mate Timmy to chat about what it’s like to be a fulltime content creator. Talk about a jam-packed schedule of awesome speakers and 4×4 personalities. My butt will be planted firmly in my seat, as I don’t want to miss any of them.
Girls Day Out Demonstrations
It’s no lie that coming across women on the tracks can be rare. That’s why the team from Girls Day Out 4X4 are at the show to take attendees through a range of demonstrations. These demo’s are aimed at teaching women important 4WD skills in a safe and open environment. If you’re a female who is itching to get out and about but feel you need a little push, make sure you attend this demonstration.
Wildlife Show
Australia has a heap of unique animals, especially ones that get the world talking (snakes.) You can get up close and personal with native animals for a truly extraordinary wildlife encounter at The National 4×4 Outdoors Show. All thanks to the team at Black Snake Productions. You’d be sssssilly to miss it… See what I did there?
In addition to all the above, at The National 4×4 and Outdoors Show you’ll find an Outback Bar, serving cold ones. Alex Laneway for a tasty food truck feed. And the Proving Ground for a complimentary 4×4 Test Drive! You can even take the little ones to Kids Zone to participate in some fun activities they have running!
