North Star Shines in the West

Expedition cruiser, Rod Eime, climbs aboard Western Australia's premier adventure yacht, True North, for a unique and intimate sampling of our west's own special character. Photos by the author and Austal Ships.

The scene is almost beyond belief.

Cape York In The Holden Adventra PDF Print E-mail
Written by Damien Reid - Road&Write   
Tuesday, 29 November 2005

How genuine are the new cross-road all-wheel drives when it comes to tackling the rough stuff? We took a showroom standard Holden Adventra on one the toughest four-wheel drive tracks for Wheels magazine to the very tip of Cape York Peninsula.

It was an ambitious task, but what the heck, Holden's TV adds for the Adventra show it pulling boats out of the water, pounding through deep sand and wading through rivers, so we thought - why not?
