Dear !*FIRSTNAME*!,
Greetings,
Business is growing and it is time for Exprim to take a serious place in the 4wd world. Directions must be taken too!
We have great tourism resources and attractions in the country, it would be a shame if we were to miss out! The cultural and historic heritage left to all of us should be enjoyed by all.
I am passionate about the Australian outback and I wish all to enjoy it as much as I do. The increasing number of visitors has forced councils, shires and Aboriginal communities to take steps towards protecting their land. And this I agree and support but it is important for all of us to find appropriate compromises and work together towards common goals. The changes on the Canning Stock Route and the closure of the Calvert Range is one thing but if nothing is done from our side (the travellers) we will all loose rights to those magical places.
I then urge you all to "have a say" and tell us what you think should be done. Please read the article in this letter on the CSR and follow the link to express your thoughts.
I will keep the site up to date with all the latest changes on the Stock Route.
Until next time,
 Eric Chantelat, managing director.

 EPE, Explore planet Earth, Microfast CR-1 change shelter.
We have used this product over the last four years, it strong, light and easy to store. Once you have mastered the folding process, which takes a few practice, it takes only a few seconds to put it back in its sack. It folds into a circle 3 inches wide and about 30 inches in diameter, easy to slip in between your gears. Good camping store will stock, alternatively, you may visit their web site here.

 Location: Gibson Desert
This is the entrance to Empress Spring, named by David Carnegie in 1896. He was guided to this life saving water by an Aboriginal from the area. As Carnegie said himself, this cave saved him and his companions from a certain death. Such was the life of early explorers who's only motivation to endure such dry and desolated country was: "to see what's out there".
Of course today's modern 4WD make such journeys so easy, but don't we have just the same motivation?
