The long Easter weekend is now upon us so we wish everyone a great break. For those who are going away, please take care on the roads. If you are not going away why not sit back and watch all the live action of the Canowindra Balloon Challenge from Easter Monday through to Sunday 11th April via EOTrackMe. EOTrackMe is developed by I.T. Beyond for the purpose of live web-tracking of Members - whether you are in your 4WD in the desert, or up in a balloon! The system simply requires your GPS enabled mobile phone to transmit positions at a predefined interval to the EOTrackMe server so that you see the progress in real time.Download Trek Notes for FREE!!!ExplorOz has over 164trek notes covering many well known (and lesser known) regions all around Australia – and if you’re anExplorOz Member, you can download them for FREE!!!

Damian finishes up with ExplorOz on the 16th April. He would like to farewell and thank everyone with whom he's had the pleasure of working with throughout his three
and a half year tenure here. “It has been a great experience working with David and Michelle at ExplorOz.com. The time has come for me to pursue my other business
interests. My years with ExplorOz have been so varied and dynamic – it was always challenging and exciting!!! I have learnt a great deal about the IT, 4WD, Caravan
and Camping industry, and it has opened my eyes to the vast size and openness of Australia, and the incredible number of amazing places one can go and visit -
you really need to get out there!!!”. We are also pleased to advise that Michael has returned to the ExplorOz Team, currently working 2 days per week, moving to 3 days per week once Damian has left.ExplorOz Presents at Outback NSW Tourism Symposium

Meet our Business Members

or search by keyword. This fortnight, we are pleased to welcome the following new Business Members:- Balloon Joy Flights
- The Canowindra Balloon Challenge Festival starts Easter Monday. This is a competitive balloon event where pilots will be flying to a set target where they will drop their markers. Whilst this is a bit radical for serious competition ballooning we will be “trying out” some new state of the art balloon judging. We will showcase some new “live to web” technologies like GPS positioning and Live to web Video. There will be a 50 inch plasma web screen in the main street of Canowindra beaming live video and GPS positions from the balloons. The balloons will be tracked live viaEOTrackMe so you can watch it here on ExplorOz.com or the module embeded into our website.
