An Australian off-road enthusiast named Dan, who uses a wheelchair, successfully drove a modified 2024 Toyota Hilux with a camper trailer down Gunshot Creek on the Old Telegraph Track in Queensland. The video was posted on YouTube channel @ghostx. The Hilux features a steel front bumper, snorkel, lifted suspension and off-road tires, while the engine remains stock — a 2.8-liter turbo diesel producing 200 hp. Dan notes that each crossing is unique and requires precise calculation.

RV World Canberra has added Avida motorhomes to its lineup, giving local travelers an alternative to towing a caravan. The dealership offers sales, service, parts, and warranty support on site.

HC Conversions, a Sydney-based company, has built a camper van based on an AWD Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a 144-inch wheelbase. The vehicle features an Agile Offroad suspension kit, a 12,000-lb winch, 500 W solar panels, and a 620 Ah lithium battery bank. Inside, it offers a 2-meter by 1.5-meter bed, a kitchen with a 150-liter fridge, a bathroom, and a diesel-powered Truma Combi D6 heater.

In Australia, a Toyota Hilux driver took the vehicle's off-road capabilities to the extreme by driving a loaded pickup with a trailer down a muddy, near-vertical wall. The video, published on the Ghost X Overland account on Instagram and YouTube, shows a 2024 Toyota Hilux navigating the Gunshot Creek obstacle on the Old Telegraph Track in Cape York, Queensland. The truck features modifications such as a steel bumper, snorkel, lifted suspension, and larger tires, but retains its standard 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine. The trailer, designed for sleeping, followed the vehicle's line without tipping over.
