Hi ExplorOz Reader

As we embark on a fresh journey into the new year, it's a perfect moment for introspection and envisioning your aspirations for exciting adventures, rejuvenating holidays, and tranquil moments in nature. Whether you're in search of family getaways, thrilling destinations to hone your 4WD skills, top rated hiking or MTB day tracks to add to your itinery, or looking for a mapping solution that has everything you need all bundled into one, ExplorOz is here to provide you with the ideal tools to transform your dreams into reality. Stay tuned as we unveil an exciting new feature designed to enhance your trip planning experience - read on for all the details!.

NEW: Free Web-App Access for All Members

We're excited to inform you that we've recently updated access permissions for all users with an ExplorOz Member subscription, granting you access to the online version of the ExplorOz Traveller app. This fantastic enhancement allows you to "try before you buy," giving you a preview of the app's features before making a purchase. Previously, access was limited to those who had already bought and downloaded the app from an app store onto their phone, tablet, or iPad.

To get started, simply visit the ExplorOz website, log in, and navigate to your Account. Within the Account section, you'll find a tab labeled "ExplorOz Traveller Control Panel." Here, all Members will now see a button marked "Open Web App." Click on it and follow the prompts to explore the online version.

Please note that the web app is designed for stationary use and does not offer active navigation but can be used to view maps, search all content, plan routes - create and save Places, Treks, and save items to folders to organise your data. For on-the-go navigation, you'll need to purchase and download the ExplorOz Traveller app from the relevant app store for your device (Google Playstore for Android devices and Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad). For more details about the downloadable offline app, visit the ExplorOz Traveller webpage before making a purchase to review FAQs, system requirements, and other essential information.

If you encounter any issues, ensure you have an active Membership subscription. If not, you can sign up here..

Change of Office Location

If you don't follow our socials, you may not be aware that since early December, ExplorOz is now operated via a roving office as we embark upon an extended trip around Australia. With today's technology, we remain fully active in the business operation and can perform app development and updates from the road together with customer service and support. For this reason, the About page of the ExplorOz website lists the best way to contact us (phone preferred).

Click (and save) this link to view our auto-uploading tracking map and follow us as we travel around Australia. Tracking is via the ExplorOz Membership “Tracker” service. This link auto updates and shows daily camp stops (numbered). Days 1 - 16 covered our journey from Perth to Sydney where we have stopped for a few weeks with family so the tracker hasn't moved since Christmas. However, we are soon to start the next stage of our trip to Tasmania.

See Us On the Road

If you see us, please feel welcome to give a wave, or stop and say hi, grab some free stickers and if you want a demo just ask!

Follow our Social Media

ExplorOz proudly remains independent, steering clear of sponsorships and brand endorsements. Join us on social media for an exclusive glimpse into our on-the-road adventures over the next 12 months.

Two decades ago, we traversed Australia for two years, shaping the beginnings of our ExplorOz business. Since then, we've relocated from NSW to WA and extensively explored the wonders of Western Australia. Now, we embark on a different adventure, venturing back to the east coast to delve into the wetter regions of Australia. While we grew up on this side, exploring Victoria, NSW, and Qld, it's a journey filled with anticipation and a touch of trepidation.

Our choice of a lightweight offroad camper trailer towed by a 200 series allows us the flexibility to explore diverse terrains. Join us as we showcase specific sections of our journey through short 5-minute videos on our YouTube channel, and catch daily updates on Instagram/Facebook and TikTok. Our footage, captured on iPhone, Drone, and GoPro, offers a variety of angles and perspectives. Your comments and feedback are invaluable in keeping us motivated and ensuring an entertaining and informative experience throughout our adventure.
