FINKE TO THE SIMPSON DESERT IN A CAN-AM MAVERICK X3

IT’S NOT every day you get invited to attend an event that is a first of its kind. I was lucky enough to be invited along to cover this recent journey of more than 1500km on the dirt with 26 Can-Am Maverick X3 side-by-side buggies and their like-minded owners from all around the country, going from Finke to the Simpson Desert over six days.

This event was put together by the team at BRP Australia and Ride North, who arranged everything so punters just needed to get their vehicles to Alice Springs and strap in for an adventure of a lifetime. The good news is, you can do the same thing too and I strongly suggest you do as there’s no feeling like this.

DAY ONE – TRANSIT

THIS particular adventure started differently for everyone, as people were attending from all around the country. For myself and the production crew, we flew out from Sydney to Alice Springs early Sunday morning.

It would have been quite a logistical effort transporting everyone’s vehicles to Alice Springs, with everything other than a missing swag arriving safely; the swag was collected from the airport the next day.

First port of call was Alice Springs where we were staying at the Hilton, a stark contrast to the locations we’d find ourselves in over the coming week.

This first day was a cruisy one, where we had our first team briefing and the chance to get to know each other over a beer – coming in at $13 a pop – at the nearby casino. Worth it.

DAY TWO – TESTING
