Litchfield National Park is set to grow by more than 20 per cent after the NT government bought a 30,000-hectare property for $7.5 million, making it the park’s biggest expansion in more than 25 years.
The new addition, known as Silkwood, sits just south of Adelaide River and about 120km from Darwin. It borders Litchfield’s south-east and includes rugged terrain, waterfalls, hot springs, gorges, and bush tracks. A major highlight is Robin Falls, a popular swimming spot previously on private land. With the purchase, it and other areas previously off-limits will become part of the public park.
The NT government says the move delivers on an election promise to open up more land for camping, swimming and 4WDing. While there’s no set date for public access, the area will be incorporated into Litchfield National Park following planning and consultation with Traditional Owners.
With more than 250,000 visitors already heading to Litchfield each year, this expansion is expected to ease pressure on busy sites like Wangi Falls and Buley Rockhole, while bringing new life to towns like Adelaide River.
The move differs in direction from a decision recently made by local councils along WA’s Turquoise Coast, which will soon close unofficial beach tracks as part of a new coastal recreation masterplan. Covering the area from Guilderton to Leeman, the plan aims to curb dune damage and manage 4WD access more sustainably after increased use and track duplication began threatening long-term access.
No official opening date has been set for the Litchfield National Park expansion.
A growing number of caravan crashes across Australia is putting the spotlight on driver inexperience, particularly among 4×4 owners towing heavy vans and campers.
With more people than ever exploring the country, many are getting behind the wheel with limited understanding of how to tow safely. Even capable vehicles can get caught out when towing limits are exceeded or loads are poorly balanced.
From 2019 to 2023, caravan and campervan registrations in Australia recorded a massive jump of 21 per cent. However, this boom in ownership hasn’t been matched by an increase in towing knowledge or driver training, leading to more accidents involving improperly loaded or overweight setups.
Some of these caravans and camper trailers are also being found unroadworthy before trips begin, with issues ranging from worn tyres and faulty brakes to mismatched tow gear. These faults, combined with poor weight distribution, significantly increase the risk of sway, loss of control and rollovers while towing.
Road conditions are another factor contributing to caravan crashes. Popular touring routes like the Bruce Highway and New England Highway are seeing increased traffic but offer few overtaking lanes and limited pull-over areas, leading to driver fatigue and pressure. Uneven surfaces and long, narrow stretches make towing even more demanding for 4×4 drivers.
As off-road travel and caravan touring continue to grow in popularity, towing safety is becoming a central concern. For 4WD drivers, safe caravan towing means more than just owning the right gear – it means knowing how to use it.
Towing driver courses play a crucial role by teaching drivers how to properly secure loads, understand tow limits, maintain equipment, and adapt to how towing affects vehicle handling. These training programs improve driver confidence and control behind the wheel, helping to reduce caravan accidents and keep all road users safe.
All reasons why towing courses should be mandatory.
Since 1975, ARB has been building 4×4 accessories that drive adventure. In ARB’s 50th year, the team decided time to do something epic – one lucky 4WDer will win the ultimate off-road companion: an ARB Earth Camper.
50 years off-road
All great adventures begin with a reliable rig and gear that can be trusted. For 50 years, ARB has stood at the heart of that journey. Whether it be bull bars, suspension or even recovery gear, ARB has helped 4WDers tackle everything from red-dirt deserts to remote bushland with confidence.
The Earth Camper is the culmination of ARB’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities from 50 years of exploring the toughest terrain and building gear that goes the distance. It’s a camper designed not just to survive the journey but make every part of it better.
To celebrate this milestone and say thank you, ARB is giving away a massive prize. Simply join the ARB mailing list to be in the running – every subscriber receives a free entry into the draw to potentially win their very own Earth Camper.

Built for Adventure
The Earth Camper is a dream to tow. The unique ARB-designed and fabricated exoskeleton chassis was inspired by ARB’s off-road racing heritage.
Offering superior strength and keeping the centre of gravity low provides an exceptional tow experience on the toughest tracks. The chassis is paired with Old Man Emu custom-engineered trailing arm suspension and vertically mounted Nitrocharger coil-over shocks. This setup delivers exceptional wheel travel, traction, and ride comfort, even on uneven terrain.
The compact design features a hard roof, hard floor and a queen-size bed, providing a large sleeping area and protection from the elements. The tent and floor extension accommodate a roomy interior with plenty of space to stand up and get changed or relax beside the in-built table with a beverage in hand during inclement weather. A clever design ensures that, when packed up, the fibreglass roof keeps the tent separate from the bed zone.

Smart shelter, fast setup
Setting up camp is a breeze with the Earth Camper’s innovative design.
The electrically actuated rear door lowers at the push of a button, transforming into a hard floor for the rear annex area. In less than five minutes, “Holiday Mode” provides expansive living space with tent deployed. For a quick “Overnight Stay,” it can be bed-ready in less than two minutes.
The standard inclusion of the 180-degree awning offers ample shade and protection over the kitchen area. The awning packs into the integrated storage compartment to prevent snagging on trees or branches during travel.

Kitchen and water systems
The Earth Camper’s slide-out kitchen is a cook’s dream.
Equipment includes a 1.2m stainless steel prep bench, three-burner Thetford gas cooktop with wind deflector, integrated sink, and a 96L ARB ZERO dual-zone fridge/freezer. A cutlery drawer and slide-out pantry keep essentials organised, while two lockable 4kg gas bottles supply fuel for cooking and optional hot water. A 140L under-chassis water tank, 12V pump, and external tap provide convenient access to drinking water on the go.
Interior comfort and storage
The Earth Camper combines comfort and functionality with a queen-sized bed, 150mm high-density foam mattress, blackout curtains, and smart storage solutions, including bedside and overhead mesh pockets. Dual Sirocco 12V fans, interior lighting, USB and 240V outlets, a flip-out dining table, and an under-bed drawer make life on the road easy.

Power and control
The Earth Camper comes standard with a 120W roof-mounted solar panel, with the option to expand via an auxiliary solar port.
Its power system includes a 100Ah lithium battery, upgradable to 300Ah, and is charged through trusted technology from REDARC. A BMS Manager30 with colour display is included, along with the RedVision app, allowing battery charge and water levels to be monitored directly from a smartphone.
Optional upgrades include the REDARC TVMS controller for remote appliance switching and a REDARC bypass inverter delivering 2000W of AC power, ensuring a reliable energy supply for all off-grid adventures.
Designed by experience
The Earth Camper is a perfect example of what happens when internal capabilities and design meet real-world feedback. ARB doesn’t just engineer products in a lab; the off-road lifestyle is part of its DNA.
Engineers and the product development team have spent years out in the field, listening to what travellers really want from a camper. That feedback was used to build a camper that’s easy to tow, quick to set up, and ready for just about anything on Earth.
The Earth Camper has already been put through its paces by travellers who don’t just talk adventure – they live it. And the verdict? “It just works.” From spontaneous coastal stopovers to remote desert crossings, it’s proven itself as a setup that brings comfort without the usual campsite faff.
The clever layout, solid build, and ability to stay comfortable in any weather have made it feel less like a trailer and more like a trusted travel companion – the kind that just quietly gets on with the job.

Four-wheel drivers heading up Western Australia’s Turquoise Coast will start seeing changes soon, as local councils move to shut down unofficial beach tracks and manage access more closely.
The ABC has reported the shires of Coorow, Dandaragan and Gingin have officially adopted the coastal recreation masterplan. First announced in April, the plan was released for public consultation in May and received mostly positive feedback. It has now reportedly been given the green light.
The move targets the stretch from Guilderton to Leeman, where growing numbers of 4WDs and beach campers have led to damage in some high-use areas. Tracks cutting through dunes and duplicated access points have been eroding the landscape and putting long-term access at risk.
Rather than banning beach driving, the plan will close down informal tracks and guide vehicles onto a smaller network of official routes. These will be clearly signposted, with boundaries in place to keep drivers on track. Councils also plan to apply for funding to install cameras and monitor activity.
Popular spots like Sandy Cape, Green Head and the Moore River mouth are all included in the plan. While most of the main access points will stay open, drivers will need to pay more attention to signs and stick to marked tracks.
Rehab work will follow, with help from local volunteers and community groups to restore closed areas and stabilise dunes.
JAC Motors has slashed the price of its T9 dual-cab, with the budget-friendly ute now starting from below $40,000 drive-away.
As part of a limited-time deal – running from July 1 until August 31 – the entry-level T9 Oasis is priced at $39,990 drive-away and the JAC T9 Haven from $43,990 drive-away. These prices apply nationwide, except in Western Australia, where drive-away costs are $1000 higher for both models.
This price drop offers a saving of roughly $5000 off the regular drive-away price.
“The JAC T9 has already proven itself as Australia’s safest ute, and now we’re making it even more compelling for Australian buyers,” said JAC Motors Australia Managing Director, Ahmed Mahmoud.
“At $39,990 drive-away, the JAC T9 Oasis is outstanding value. Not only does it deliver class-leading safety in a tough and reliable package, it comes with the peace of mind of JAC’s industry-leading JARA seven-year, unlimited kilometre warranty,” added Mahmoud.
The T9 was named Australia’s safest ute in 2024, following ANCAP’s weighted safety results. It received a five-star rating in August 2024, with standout scores: 85 per cent for adult occupant protection, 87 per cent for both child occupant and vulnerable road user protection, and 89 per cent for safety assist.

It’s powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel producing 120kW and 410Nm, paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. The ute offers a 1045kg payload capacity and a tub wide enough to fit a full-sized Australian pallet.
The T9 Oasis includes a 10.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, seven-inch digital instrument cluster, smartphone mirroring, wireless charging, LED lighting, climate control, reversing camera, rain-sensing wipers and 18-inch alloy wheels. Among a suite of upgrades, the Haven variant adds a 360-degree camera, heated front seats and rear privacy glass.
This offer applies to MY24 stock only.
Volkswagen Australia has refreshed its Amarok range for the 2025 model year, led by the introduction of the limited-edition Amarok 10 Deserts Edition.
Priced from $69,990 drive-away, this new variant is limited to just 300 units nationwide and features a 40mm suspension lift, increasing ground clearance to 275mm. The off-road-ready vehicle rides on Continental ATR tyres fitted to 17-inch satin black wheels and includes VW underbody protection and all-weather floor mats. The exterior is distinguished by a black sports bar, soft tonneau cover, and black ‘10 Deserts’ decal that stretches across both the front and rear doors.
Alongside the launch of the 10 Deserts Edition, Volkswagen has announced several updates across the broader MY25 Amarok line-up. The Amarok Style, PanAmericana and Aventura variants now come standard with 230V power sockets (Australian plug pattern), backed by an integrated 400W inverter. Trailer Assist is now a standard feature on these models as well, and the Rear Traffic Alert system has been revised to integrate with the trailer support functionality.
VW has also introduced new ‘Tray’ cab-chassis variants. The Amarok Core, Life and Style are now available with a factory-fitted alloy tray, measuring 1900mm in external width, 1835mm in internal width, 1650mm in internal length, and tipping the scales at 132kg. This alloy tray will also be offered as a dealer-fitted accessory across the broader Amarok range and will cost an additional $4000. A steel tray weighing 243kg is also available as a dealer-fit option.

Drive-away pricing for the updated MY25 Amarok range starts at $55,990 for the Core TDI405. The Amarok Life TDI500 follows at $61,990, while the new 10 Deserts Edition, based on the TDI500 platform, lands at $69,990.
The Style variants are priced at $72,740 for the TDI500 and $76,740 for the TDI600. Sitting above them is the PanAmericana TDI600 at $79,990. At the top of the range, the Aventura is offered in two powertrains: the petrol-powered TSI452 at $79,990 and the flagship diesel TDI600 at $82,990.
The updated MY25 Volkswagen Amarok line-up will begin arriving in dealerships during the second half of 2025.

If you prefer round driving lights over light-bar set-ups, the Sentinel range from Lazer makes a strong case for staying classic.
Without question, these are among the best-performing LED driving lights on the market today. Available in both 7-inch and 9-inch sizes, black or white colourways, and offered in Standard and Elite models, they deliver exceptional lighting performance; not just in raw distance, but with an expansive beam pattern that lights up the full width of the road or track.

Lazer has built a reputation on lighting that’s as functional and tough as it is stylish and refined; and with Sentinel, you’re getting a product that really embodies this. With the build quality, styling to suit any 4×4 and Lazer’s renowned high performance output, the Sentinels really stand out for all the right reasons.
Whether you’re navigating tight switchbacks or cruising open highway, the Sentinels extend your field of vision with real confidence, and look damn good doing it!

Built for the harshest Aussie conditions
While lighting performance and output are crucial, they’re only half the equation. Out here, your gear needs to be built tough to survive.
With relentless heat, dust, salt, and water, the outback doesn’t offer second chances. With these challenges in mind, the Sentinel range has been engineered with durability at its core. Lazer designs and manufactures all of its lighting solutions in-house at its UK headquarters, giving it complete control over the entire production process.
This control and attention to detail all the way down to individual component part selection results in products that have an incredible level of durability and reliability, which is backed by a comprehensive five-year warranty on all models.

Each light features advanced electronic thermal management, starting with precision-engineered heat sinks that efficiently dissipate heat, keeping internal components cool.
Paired with reflectors that are in-house vacuum-metallised to achieve the highest possible reflectivity, it means the LEDs don’t have to work as hard and do all of the heavy lighting to distribute light. The result is a highly efficient lighting unit that minimises the risk of overheating even in the toughest Aussie conditions, all whilst maintaining incredible output.

Every Sentinel lamp is sealed to IP68 standards, making it fully submersible up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes. The ‘unbreakable’ polycarbonate lens is backed by a lifetime guarantee, all metalwork is anodised and powder-coated to resist weather and chemical corrosion and over-voltage and reverse polarity protection come standard.
Lazer puts all its lamps through serious testing including thermal cycling, salt spray, solar load, vibration and more. So when it say its products are built to last, it actually has the lab data and customer feedback to prove it.

Real-world feedback
“I’ve been using Lazer Lamps for a few years now and can honestly say they’ve been phenomenal. I’ve had other big-name brands in the past and while they were good, nothing compares to the build quality and light output I get from the Sentinels. With 3 Sentinel Elites combined with a Linear-18 light bar, I’ve got an unreal amount of light, both distance and spread. It’s made a huge difference on those long drives into the night or when I’m hunting for a campsite after dark. Not to mention, they look clean and tough on the front of the rig, I definitely get a lot of people asking about them.” – Zack Schofield, Dawn to Dusk Adventures.


“I’ve been night driving long distances for years, but previously I used to avoid it because I thought it was a bit unsafe, but since upgrading to the Sentinels, I go out of my way to embrace the quiet night roads with less trucks, almost no caravans and nice cool temperatures. The distance and clarity I get from the lights have completely changed the way I think about long-haul driving. I’m never worried what’s up ahead.” – Harry Fisher, Fire to Fork


Lighting that goes the distance
Locking in on the 9” Sentinel Elite. Which is the top level powerhouse of the range. A pair emits over 20,000 raw lumens with 1 lux delivered to over 1km away, offering incredible range. But where the Sentinel Elite really comes into its own league is with its lateral visibility. With a 52° horizontal beam spread, it casts usable light across an expansive area, helping pick out hazards where other lamps fall short. The lamp’s light colour temperature is 5000K, as close to natural daylight as possible – this maximises visibility of terrain and obstacles with clarity and sharpness, but gentle enough on the eyes to avoid fatigue on long night drives.


Looks that belong on the front of your rig
Let’s be honest, yes performance is key, but nobody wants lights that look like an afterthought. The Sentinel’s stealth styling delivers clean lines and a bold, blacked-out finish. Internally, the lamps use black printed circuit boards and a hexagonal bezel design that gives them a modern, tactical edge. It’s a far cry from the oversized chrome buckets of the past.


The wide diecast aluminium mounting bracket is pre-treated and powder-coated satin black to match most bull bars and nudge bars, with a subtle ‘Sentinel’ stamp adding a final bit of detail. There’s also a slim bracket option if you’re tight on space or want a lower-profile fit. Lazer offers a full suite of accessories: lens covers, stay bar kits, anti-theft bolts – so you can customise the setup for form and function.

Setting the standard
The Sentinel range isn’t about gimmicks or overhyped claims. It’s about proven performance, built-in toughness, and the kind of looks that make your build stand out without trying too hard. Whether you’re doing highway hauls, outback expeditions, or weekend trails, these lights are made to handle anything you throw at them. When you’re investing in gear, you want confidence that it’s going to hold up, perform under pressure, and look good doing it. The Sentinel range doesn’t just tick those boxes, it sets the standard for what LED driving lights should be.

Kia has released pricing for the Tasman’s range of genuine accessories, ahead of its arrival in showrooms next month.
The accessories line-up – released on the Kia Australia website – confirms that buyers will be able to option everything from side steps, sports bars, roof racks and tub racks to soft tonneau covers, electric roller shutters, canopies, and even a 36L portable car fridge. Pricing spans from less than $30 for items like trailer plug adaptors to over $6000 for premium canopy and shutter systems. Full pricing below 👇
The aftermarket sector has also begun gearing up for the Tasman’s launch, with companies like ARB and Utemaster already promoting a range of equipment.
ARB unveiled concept renders showcasing the ute equipped with a suite of accessories, including a bull bar, canopy and off-road wheels, offering punters an early look at how a fully kitted-out version might appear. Utemaster revealed two storage options: the Centurion Canopy and Load-Lid, both built tough for real-world use.
Showcasing its off-road capabilities, the flagship X-Pro variant recently proved its mettle by conquering the notoriously tough Beer O’Clock Hill – demonstrating the Tasman is built for weekend fun.
Earlier this month, Kia also confirmed drive-away pricing for the Tasman, with the entry-level S variant starting at $53,890; the SX at $58,490, the SX+ at $66,490), the X-Line at $70,990, and the X-Pro at $77,990. All 4×4 variants are powered by a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine producing 154kW and 440Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and offering both part-time and terrain-specific driving modes.
The Kia Tasman goes on sale across Australia in July 2025.

Kia’s all-new Tasman has proven its off-road chops, becoming the latest vehicle to conquer Beer O’Clock Hill at the Springs 4×4 Park in Queensland – and it did it in near-stock form.
Just weeks after the GWM ute range successfully mounted the same hill, the Tasman has followed suit, this time with Team Bree Offroad behind the wheel of Kia’s flagship X-Pro variant.

Running nothing but a set of Mickey Thompson Boss All-Terrains, the Tasman is the first of its kind to take on the challenge. With no front locker, the climb wasn’t pretty or slow – it was a momentum-based assault.
“For a rear-locked only vehicle to get up this hill is just incredible,” said Lucas from Team Bree. “It has done an absolutely incredible job. I mean, I want to do it again.”
Beer O’Clock Hill is steep, deeply rutted and peppered with loose rock that’s been known to stop modified rigs in their tracks. The Tasman was pushed hard, but it held its own, showing off solid suspension geometry, a well-tuned traction control system, and real-world off-road ability.
Kia’s clearly aiming to make a statement with the Tasman, and this run up Beer O’Clock Hill proves it’s not just marketing hype. It’s early days, but with results like this, the Tasman is already shaping up as a serious contender for Aussie buyers who want real off-road ability straight off the showroom floor.
The Tasman is slated to arrive in Australia by July 2025, priced from $45,890 driveaway.
