Voted, excellent story

A few updates: Video from the Overland Track that I walked back in August: https://vimeo.com/147401761 and also the announcement of a book that we have featured in. We appear alongside Turtle Expeditions, Lost World Expedition, Sinuhe Xavier and others. The book can be found here...

Im with the other guys, more so because I wouldn't buy old tech new. If your going to punt for a 7100 might as well get a used one because the 7200 is now out. I believe there was a big step up from the 7000 to the 7100 and a slight upgrade to the 7200. I shot with a D70 for a long time and then...

Abandoned early 1900s naval ship building engine house in Sydney, Australia. Not open to the public and not been touched for a long time. Its full of asbestos. I have a contact in the Harbour Trust who showed me around the historic sites of the harbour. Fantastic history.

Simpson post went up a while back. It made it onto the Expo home page and also into Pat Callinan's 4x4 magazine here in Australia. Report and photos can be found here if you missed it: http://siroccoverland.com/overland-routes-reports/simpson-desert-trip-report-2014/ This year I got the chance...

Agreed, I would like to see more shots or bigger adjustments with the bracketing. One thing that really annoys me with the custom settings is that I cannot create a custom for RAW shots and another for JPEG shots. That is really bugging me. Im not to bothered about the film simulations or the...

10-24mm is on my radar also. I guess it depends on your style of photography. But as Brian says "you really need them all". I shot some photos of our dogs yesterday and I was pretty impressed with the high ISO results and even the little flash that comes with it. Im no pixel peeper but I think...

Rare issue and me seem to go hand in hand! It turned out to be the body. The shop (DigiDirect in Melbourne) were really good and just swapped it out for me. We installed the new firmware and all is well. Interestingly the one I have is the one build straight after the one that broke. I have...

So I bought my X-T1 on Saturday, took it out Sunday, great. I was very happy with it. Went to download the new firmware tonight (Monday) and whilst the body updated to V4.0 the lens reverted to V0.0. No problem I thought, I will update the lens with the latest firmware. I cant even get it to...

I spot Cheddar Gorge and some tight Devon/Dorset/Cornwall lanes there. How far off am I? Cant be far, I saw chalk. Will you be getting over to Wales at all? G

The XT10 looks interesting. Good price with the same performance as the XT1. No sealing though. Cant decide wether to upgrade my D90 to the D7200 (I have a few DX lenses) or get this thing! Im mostly in my truck so space isn't usually a problem and I have lugged my DSLR all over the world...

New blog post coming up on 6th July. Simpson Desert crossing via the Hay River Track (Australia). Keep your eyes peeled. G

Latest post is up: http://siroccoverland.com/2015/06/08/the-2013-acknowledgement-post/ Its a huge thank you post to everyone who helped us out on the road. From offering accommodation to sharing a drink or the days catch. Everyone is in here from start to finish across 26 countries. For those...

Final blog post went up on Monday. The very last of our travels across Asia:http://siroccoverland.com/2015/05/25/siberia-part-iii-to-the-final-frontier-along-the-road-of-bones/ And ExPo has an extract from that as an article on the front page...

Siberia Part III blog post coming Monday morning (25th May GMT). This is out final blog post form our 2013 trip and wraps up Siberia, the Road of Bones, Magadan and our departure from Vladivostok. Its a mammoth account of nearly 4000 words and 40 photos. Keep your eye on our page or our...

Thanks for the support. Its going to be slow progress I think as there are actually few International travels here in Australia. Most Australians are content with their own continent for exploration (and who can blame them). See how we go with the rentals and take it from there. G

I suppose now is as good a time as any to let you all know... I have decided the take the leap and start my own business. I have no idea if this is going to work or not with this being such a niche market but I'm going to give it a shot anyway! take a look at the website and let me know if you...

From that list I would go Disco 2 or Cruiser. Prices of cruisers are fairly high in the UK though. 100 series diesel would be nice, 80s are getting a bit old now. Either way, buy one thats in good overall condition and does not need much work with a good solid history. G

Im a big fan of Snapseed. Anyone following our facebook page would have seen this in our daily snaps :) Not sure about the new version, its not getting good reviews. G

Jan, You can re-new your carnet for an additional 12 months, just make sure you stipulate Aus and NZ. you could then ship to both if required. Allow a bit of time those as customs generally drag their heels. Start applying 3 months before your initial Carnet ends. If you need a shipping quote...
