Tropical North QLD Useful Phrases
By Britz Crew
Tropical North Queensland has its own seasons, its own cuisine and its own way of life. Some visitors even believe it has its own language. They're kind of right too, those who are unaccustomed to the colloquialisms of the North have been known to struggle to keep up with conversation. Hopefully this guide will help you out during your visit to the North. You never know, it might even get you out of trouble.

Northern Territory Adventure
By Mark Clinton
Thinking about going on a 4WD roadtrip or considering a NT adventure? Feast your eyes on these awesome photos taken by Mark Clinton. They chronicle a Northern Territory adventure he took with his mates. The photos provide great insight into what it's like to take a Britz 4WD for a spin around the Top End.
They started off in Darwin at the famous Mindil Beach Markets before exploring Berry Springs, Gunlom falls, Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr, and lots of other amazing sights in Kakadu National Park. Litchfield National Park held adventures to giant termite mounds, refreshing waterfalls, rock pools and incredible panoramas. Exploring was made easy by the Britz Safari Landcruisers, with fold out rooftop tents, built-in kitchenettes and the ability to go where a standard 2WD can't. Anyway, as you know a picture paints a thousand words so dig in and enjoy!

A Surfer's Journal
By Kato Simpson
My aim was to escape Sydney asap and find a peaceful piece of coastline where I could park my van, open the boot and watch the surf from dawn to dusk before having a beer and doing it all over again. I accomplished that and discovered some hidden gems along the way.
Between Sydney and Crescent Head there are plenty of cosy little nooks and crannies you can spend a few days. I just wanted to surf really good waves and spend time lazing around a quiet little seaside town.
Depending on your curiosity you can find some pretty good waves and sweet overnight spots perched on top of cliffs from Shelly Beach to Forster on the Emerald Coast. Only thing is that you'll have to turn off the main highway and take the scenic route, which is a slower, windier road but worth it if you have the time.
