Off The Track 4x4

We are George & Shelly from Off The Track 4x4.  We are a married couple from Sydney, Australia. We love 4WDing, camping and travelling this great country of ours.  We met in 2003 and have been travelling together since then.  Unfortunately work and life gets in the way and so far we've only been able to travel for weeks/months at a time........ BUT that all changes next year in 2026 when we head off on our lap of Australia.  The plan is to be away for a minimum of 12 months, but let's see how we go after that!  
 
We are both very passionate about travelling Australia and want nothing more than to share our adventures and inspire others to do so as well.   We love to get out of the cities and explore the real outback. It's a big place out there and we love the remoteness and the people you meet.  We have traveled extensively throughout NSW & Queensland and have explored many places in Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania, but there is still so much more left to explore.  

​

We live in Sydney with our Pocket Bully, Koda, our Cockatiel, Al and Sam the snake!  We love nothing better than to get away into the bush for a day or weekend of camping or 4WDing.

​A catch-up up at the pub or a backyard BBQ is perfect for us, spending time with Koda, family and friends is all we need in life.  All we want is to be happy and healthy and live a life that is filled with fun, love, laughter and adventures.

 

Shelly is our ‘organiser’.  She is responsible for majority of our research and trip planning.  She is one of the most organised people you would ever meet (you wouldn’t know it when you see how untidy she is at home!), with lists and spreadsheets and folders available for every part of our trips!  She’s also our social media expert, website designer, blog writer and photographer.   Shelly is responsible for packing our ‘supplies’, eg food, medical, maps, etc.  We are never short of food or baby wipes and our medical kit could cater for 10 people!
 
George on the other hand is responsible for everything to do with the 4WD’s and camper trailer.  We never leave home without a fully serviced vehicle with only the best of everything.  Ensuring that the vehicles are mechanically safe and sound is George’s no 1 priority.  George will happily spend hours, days or even longer researching new ‘things’ for our 4WD’s.  He is your go-to man for anything in relation to tyres, wheels, oils and modifications for your car.  George is also responsible for packing the car, taking anything on or off the roof (the downside of being so tall!) and lifting anything heavy!  Lastly, George wants everyone to know that he is responsible for 95% of the driving ….. unless we are off-road and we fight over who will drive the tracks and river crossings!

​

We use our website and social media to document our 4WD adventures and share our experiences with all of

you to hopefully inspire others to also follow their dreams and get out there and explore. 

There are so many new adventures waiting to unfold. 

Life is too short to live with regrets ..... so go on, get out there!

George, Shelly & Koda​
