With over 25 years of travelling outback Australia, steering clear of bitumen at every opportunity, and pushing his Toyota Troopcarrier 4WD to its limits, Michael has gained a deep understanding of the Australia’s Kimberley and Arnhem Land regions.

His love for exploration has evolved into a deep passion for tour guiding, leading to the creation of See Around Corners. Through this venture, Michael shares his firsthand expertise, showcasing handpicked destinations and rich Indigenous cultural experiences across the Kimberley and Arnhem Land.

Meet Michael – Your Expert Guide to Outback Australia

2024 marked his 25th year of exploring outback Australia. His passion lies in showcasing the country’s most stunning and remote landscapes—particularly the Kimberley and Arnhem Land. I’ve built my life around running Unique 4WD Adventures, where you can tag along in your own vehicle, making this my year-round priority.

During the wet season (November to March), I’m based in Melbourne, where I lead tours in Melbourne and regional Victoria that include Phillip Island, Yarra Valley and the Great Ocean Road. But even then, my focus remains on crafting unforgettable dry-season adventures.

In the dry season (April to October), I’m out in the field, leading tours that highlight the best of the Kimberley and Arnhem Land. Beyond guiding, I work closely with traditional owners, training and mentoring them to become tour guides—fostering a two-way exchange of knowledge and supporting sustainable local tourism.

What Drives My Tours?

When designing trips, I ask myself these key questions:

- How can I deliver a Unique 4WD Tag Adventure, showcasing the true essence of the Kimberley and Arnhem Land?

- How do I strengthen relationships with traditional owners to enhance cultural exchange and guest experience?

- What’s the best way to help people plan their dry season adventure and answer their questions effectively?

- How can I make these remote regions accessible to those seeking an authentic 4WD experience, even if they don’t own a 4WD or camping gear?

With over 20 years of experience as both a 4WD Tag Along customer and guide, I understand exactly what it takes to create an unforgettable adventure.
