Western 4W Driver magazine #138 Winter 2026

Edition 138 is packed with adventure. Ron and Viv Moon head deep into the desert along Len Beadell’s legendary Bomb Roads, while Glenn Marshall tackles the rugged Nyangumarta Highway from Lake Auld to the Indian Ocean. Amanda Burton explores the tough but rewarding tracks of Karlamilyi National Park, and Matt Payne heads beyond Monkey Mia to uncover the dunes, fishing and remote camps of François Péron National Park.

On the review front, Matt Payne tests the new ninth-generation Toyota HiLux SR5 and explores whether the compact Miarco Travel Cat 400 is the solution for those who want to take a boat to hard-to-reach off-road locations.

Plus, Luke Clatworthy uncovers the stories behind the biggest gold nuggets ever discovered in WA, Broome-based photographer Matt Deakin captures the Kimberley like we’ve never seen before, and Jo Clews fires up the camp cooker with a cob loaf recipe guaranteed to have you coming back for seconds.
