Western 4W Driver magazine #136 Summer 2025/26

Summer has rolled in again, and this edition of Western 4W Driver captures that spirit perfectly, filled with the kinds of places that remind us why we head outdoors in the first place.

Colin and Prue set the tone with their visit to Peace Gorge out of Meekatharra, while Grant and Linda return with a tour along the Oodnadatta Track, along with shining this edition’s ‘Western 4W Driver Spotlight’ on Martin and Sheree Hayes, who share their experiences travelling the deserts, working to restore relics of our past, and following in the footsteps of explorers that came before us.

We also make our way to Black Point on the South Coast, check out the upcoming Exmouth Wild Prawn Festival, wind down at Carawine Gorge in the Pilbara, and uncover Sculptures in the Bush near Albany, while Luke Clatworthy brings us the tale of Yundamindra in Gold at the Granites.

Here’s to a new season with new stories—and new excuses to get off the bitumen.
