I've been trying to find out more about Australian 4WD Action.
Seems it started with Graham Cahill, but Shaun Whale was brought in.
Shaun worked at an Aussie 4WD magazine.
Graham himself was actually a bit of am ASPW but covering nature photography.
Graham has his own channel called EcoMuse.

So Graham is actually the guy with the location & historical knowledge.
Shauno has the 4x4 knowledge & media back ground.

There is also a large team behind them, obviously.

There is no Wiki entry - but it seems this all started emerging in 2010...

There were interview segments posted on the YouTube channel a while ago that touched on each of their history. Graham also did a good interview with the guy from the Fork to Fire chanel. Some nice background there too.

I notice that Graham Cahill often discusses pressures.
He says on those trails his general driving pressure is 25PSi.
That's just under 1,8 Bar.
Quiet hard...

Obviously he deflates further if required - but they never deflate like we do...
Probably explains why they use the winches so often?r

Mike, you’re clearly not camping far enough away from civilization if you are able to stream the show from camp

I like the design of these drawers and the table solution is brilliant. No steel runners saves a ton of weight and less maintenance I would assume.
