GoannaTracks

Across Australia, or Across the World, Goanna Tracks is a collage of Off-Road adventurers undertaken by Kym & Lyn Bolton and Friends. From quad biking down the Eastern Side of Cape York, crossing the Great Sandy Desert by GPS, or more distant overseas logistical challenges, our 'holidays' have always been unusual. Generally, where the dotted line on the map ends our adventure begins.
