TRAVEL TO THE AUSTRIAN ALPS

editor — Tue, 19 Nov 2019 13:02:17 +0000

SEVERIN’S – THE ALPINE RETREAT AUSTRIA LECH, IN THE AUSTRIAN ALPS Is the kind of exclusive ski resort in which you’d expect to find Prince Harry quaffing bucketfuls of vin chaud. It’s fitting, then, that new chalet hotel Severin*s is very swanky. Comprising nine huge suites and a private residence fit for any billion-dollar CEO (there are original Lichtenstein artworks on the walls and a self-playing grand piano), it’s a large slice of luxury in the picturesque mountains. And this is the place for adrenaline-fuelled days on fresh powder – from beautifully groomed pistes to gnarly mogul fields, there’s skiing

REDARC’S NEXT GENERATION BATTERY CHARGER

editor — Fri, 05 Oct 2018 15:55:26 +0000

The South Australian technology powerhouse have again given the Australian auto tech industry a shakeup with the launch of their next generation Smart Start 25A BCDC in-vehicle battery charger. The new unit features Green Power Priority, which means it will charge from solar and alternator simultaneously, while giving priority to solar if available. Additionally, this charger has a lithium battery charging profile built in, which means that users who want to upgrade to lithium batteries down the track won’t need to upgrade their charger again. The freshly unveiled battery chargers are designed, built and tested here in Australia at REDARC’s

ALL THE LATEST & GREATEST GADGETS GEAR AND HEADLINES THE SCIENCE OF PUNCTURE RESISTA

The importance of a quality set of rubber boots for your rig simply cannot be overstated. Whether you’re into hardcore rock crawling, beach driving or highway cruising, a proper set of all terrain tyres are the single connection between your vehicle and the ground, and the one part of your rig in which you must have ultimate faith. I know for a fact that I just can’t enjoy myself offroad unless I’ve got 100% faith in the set of rubber I’m rocking. Nothing takes the wind out of your sails quicker than the bullet-to-the-heart of a flat tyre in the

Best Destinations in Australia

Sandy forest tracks taken care of, we took a swing at a couple of freshwater washouts to see how it handled the H20 and the sticky stuff, and it excelled. The all-terrains and drive train reached deep into the muddy puddle-beds like goanna’s legs, digging its claws in and smoothly pulling itself ahead. Confident power at all times meant that when having to negotiate deep mud holes, the rig maintained momentum with a steady valance of spray even after the initial high-powered impact of rig on water. We got this same confident clawing feeling soon after when we ran into

Moreton Island Map and Travel Guide

It’s one of the most iconic vehicles to ever drive our shores, and for decades has been the benchmark from which all 4WD utes are measured. But what about now? How does Australia’s most loved Toyota fare amid a slew of competitors encroaching on the niche that they created, with serious offerings from Isuzu, Nissan, Ford, Mitsubishi, Mazda and Volkswagen? We figured the only way to put the new Hilux to the test was with a trip to Moreton Island A return to an El Nino weather pattern meant a return to a long and dry early summer, and everything

Barry Humphries Australia

editor — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 15:39:29 +0000

How does a comedian know he’s doing his job, and that he hasn’t slowed down mentally as his body decays? Well, for Barry Humphries it would be opening the Financial Review just a couple of weeks back, to read the headline: ‘Barry Humphries Interview Offends Just About Everybody.’ At the age of 80, he’s never spared the puritans, the wowzers or the rednecks. It doesn’t matter what end of the political spectrum – they’re all in his crosshairs. Anyone who takes themself too seriously will be mercilessly mocked. And he’s rampaged his whole way through life, a strict disciple of

Perth Map and Travel Guide

editor — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 15:11:03 +0000

When it comes to the modern spirit of the Australian coast, Bob McTavish drew the first maps – geographically and culturally. And he plotted a path only Bob could – swashbuckling through the most dangerous of seas, yet often wrecked on the most obvious of reefs. His candour is fresh and hilarious. Through each of the 350 pages, you can almost see his puggish Kirk Douglas features elbowing you in the ribs, letting you in on the secrets, the characters, the real deal, the triumphs and the tragedies. In this sequel to his first outing, Stoked, the axis of the

He slices through the backline like a Stradbroke Island shark, There’s glue on all his fingers, he’s the Emperor of Lang Park.The lives of sportsmen are often overlooked in Australia. Seriously, I mean the real lives of great sportsmen. Main reason being that it’s considered bad taste to be elevated above the common plod, these are supposed to be men and women just like us. Except they’re not like us, especially when checking the bloke-next-door feats of the Pat Rafters, Greg Normans, Dick Johnsons and Dennis Lillees. When it comes to true champion’s biographies, who just so happen to be

Map of Old Ghan Railway

editor — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 16:38:31 +0000

Old Ghan is a literal trip down memory lane. If you camp somewhere along the dusty 230km track on the June long weekend you will be joined by 12,000 others who flock to the region to experience firsthand the Finke River Desert Race. Scores of specially designed offroad vehicles, offroad buggies and bikes burn past in an effort to attain the title of King Of The Desert. If flocks of people, dust and revving engines don’t float your desert boat, then try the Old Ghan Road in late Autumn. The numerous ruins dotted along the roadside were once, in days
