I enjoy watching Pat Callinan's 4x4 Adventures, which is broadcast
on channel ONE & Ten (in Australia). The series first caught my eye, as his
vehicle of choice in Season 1 was a silver Kia Sorento turbo diesel,
identical to the Sorento that I used to own.
It showed that with the right skills and equipment, you can take a
mid-sized, non-mainstream 4x4 (rather than a large 4x4) to get to some
of the most remote places. I have been to many of the places in his
series, but it has inspired me to set my goals for many more of
Australia's remote and beautiful locations. The episodes are produced
quite professionally, with great photography and narration, and is
packed with info about 4x4 techniques and accessories. I feel that in
parts, the "adds" for these accessories can be a little too frequent,
but I guess that this is how he earns his income, and so it's ok. You
can visit the official
web site and buy DVD Box sets of the seasons here... www.mr4x4.com.au
