Josh Dardo
Josh has always loved the outdoors – whether it’s spearfishing, hiking, or hitting the beach. But four-wheel driving wasn’t something he grew up with. That changed during a family trip up the coast, where the sheer number of 4WDs sparked an idea: why not explore the parts of Australia most people never get to see? That moment led to his first 4WD – the Ranger.
Despite its occasional quirks, the Ranger has always been a great 4WD. It’s had a tougher life than most vehicles and has taken Josh on countless local tracks, remote campsites, and epic journeys across Australia including – including Fraser Island, the Nullarbor, parts of WA, the Flinders Ranges, Victorian High Country, and soon, Cape York.
By day, he works full-time as a physiotherapist. But every chance he gets, he’s out in the bush, making the most of life outdoors. For him, four-wheel driving and camping are more than just hobbies – they’re how he resets and reconnects.
Over the past six years, he’s learned a lot and now shares that knowledge with others. Whether it’s setting up a touring rig, caring for the environment, or just helping newcomers get started. He’s just a regular bloke who turned a weekend escape into a full-blown lifestyle – and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
