Toby loves nothing more than getting in his 4wd and exploring Australia. The youngest of four boys, Toby did his first 4wd trip around Australia at just 6 weeks of age. Since then, he’s completed over a dozen trips to Cape York and explored it not only by 4wd, but also twice by boat - driving his 4.5m tinnie over 1800kms all the way around the tip from Cooktown to Weipa!

If he’s not exploring up north you’ll probably find him in the middle of the Simpson Desert, where he has explored everything from the French Line and Madigan Line to the very remote Geosurveys Hill.

Toby has rebuilt and modified 4wds and beach buggies for as long as he can remember - he’s an old bush mechanic caught in a younger man’s body! A keen fisherman and scuba diver, for Toby a 4wd is for more than just driving up a steep hill, it gets him to the doorstep of Australia’s best fishing, camping and scenic destinations.

Michael’s love of all things aquatic was instilled at a young age, fishing, spear-fishing and windsurfing. His passion has grown into an addiction and whether it is catching bait off the wharf, teasing Marlin on the continental shelf, or crashing through undergrowth and casting at bass this is where he is most at home. A fisherman with the environment at heart, Michael loves to spend time fishing with his family. Catch and release and take only what you need are the two philosophies Michael wants to instill in all young anglers.

From the watery depths to dusty roads Michael cut his teeth in the most spectacular of motorsports - rallying. Wins at State, National, Asia/Pacific and International level elevated him to be the first Australian to tackle a regular ride in the World Rally Championship.

Building and running his own rally cars in the early days has given him an intimate knowledge of race-craft engineering. This skill has been used to develop engines, suspension and tyres for manufacturers. If it’s got an engine Michael can get the most out of it whether it’s a car, boat or quad bike.
