Offgrid Downunder | THE TRUTH THEY WON’T TELL YOU | Great Aussie Lockout
Welcome to Season 2 of the Offgrid Downunder Podcast — now bigger, bolder, and recorded in our brand-new purpose-built studio.
Hosted by Sam Moorhouse, this season brings a fresh lineup of voices, new stories, and exciting perspectives from across the off-road and camping community.
Track closures, locked gates and restricted access to public land have become one of the biggest talking points in the Australian 4WD community.
In this episode of the Off Grid Down Under podcast, we sit down with Tony Crooke from GME and the Outer Side podcast to discuss why more off-road tracks are being shut down across Australia and what it means for the future of touring and recreation in Australia.
We talk about:
• Why tracks are being closed
• The impact on the 4WD community and regional tourism
• Tony’s NSW Parliament submission
• The petition calling for greater transparency in National Parks management
• Whether governments are listening to the off-road community
• How responsible recreation can help protect access
This is a passionate and important conversation about the future of public land access in Australia.
