Up the Desert Steve has been driving for Diamantina 4x4 Tours this winter and has been away more than he has been at home. He has seen Lake Eyre full of water and has crossed the Simpson Desert many times.The Trips he does with Andrew Dwyer are not the usual 4x4 Trips, sometimes following the paths of early explorers on compass bearings and seeing the outback literally off the beaten track. Steve has met many characters; he describes as needing lots of space! Andrew's outback menu is sensational. Steve has been camp 2nd chef and has learnt some new tasty dishes to try on our high country travellers. Steve is working hard out there driving for miles and then setting up camp as usual, something he is familiar with but at least the 4x4's stand still when you are loading them!26/9/2000
