Get ready 4X4ers and Outback adventurers alike—Season 17 of Pat Callinan’s 4×4 Adventures is set to hit your screens, and the first episode promises an epic journey to start the season in style. Pack your bags, fuel up, and join Pat and the crew as they tackle the legendary Oodnadatta Track, kicking off an unforgettable cross-continent adventure.
The Adventure Begins
There’s nothing quite like the Oodnadatta Track to set the tone for a 4X4 adventure. Spanning 614 kilometres of glorious Outback dirt, this isn’t just another Outback track; it’s a rite of passage for anyone with a 4X4 and a thirst for exploration.
Pat’s brought along some top-notch company for the trip—Jess, Leana, and Josh are ready to show that adventuring isn’t just about the driving (though there’s plenty of that too). And speaking of driving, Jess and Leana are taking the wheel, proving that the Outback is no boys-only playground.
What’s in Store?
Sure, the Oodnadatta Track is known for its wide-open spaces, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s empty. This episode is packed with the perfect mix of rugged exploration and quirky Outback fun:
- Outback Baths – Yes, you read that right. Pat and the crew indulge in some natural spa time, soaking up the serenity of the Australian Outback.
- Local History – History buffs, take note! The team stops off at some iconic spots to soak in the stories of the past—those towns and tracks have seen it all.
- Shopping Spree – Outback merch in the middle of nowhere? You bet. From treasures to trinkets, you never know what you’ll find when you explore the locals’ offerings.
- Mud Madness – Of course, no 4X4 Adventures episode is complete without some proper off-road chaos. Let’s just say things get muddy—very muddy.
- Bush Golf – Yes, it’s as chaotic as it sounds. Turns out Outback golfing is a sport best left to the pros… or no one at all.
