Ten days in a DENZA B5 convoy, Adelaide to Uluru, across the Flinders Ranges, the Oodnadatta Track, the edge of the Simpson. These are hybrid EVs built for the country most electric cars stay out of — instant torque, near-silent electric capability, luxury-grade interior. Ironman 4×4 does the rest: fifty years of building for the Australian outback, now bolted onto the B5 as bull bars, winches, GVM upgrades, and rooftop camping systems that fold down into a bed each night. That's what gets you to the places.
What happens when you arrive is Gary Mehigan. Gary travels with the convoy. Each night the campsite becomes a kitchen — a fire, station-fresh produce, thirty-five years of restaurant instinct brought outside. A fireside feast in the outback. The Prairie Hotel long-table in Parachilna. Breakfast over embers before the camp has properly woken up. Eleven seasons on MasterChef, now cooking for the people in front of him, two thousand kilometres from the nearest restaurant.
Private convoy to Lake Eyre South at dawn, crunching across salt crusts no tour bus will ever reach. A private opening of Farina's Bakery, closed for most of the year and run by volunteers. Algebuckina Bridge on the old Ghan corridor, one of Australia's most remote crossings. Dalhousie Springs at sunset. The Prairie Hotel long-table in Parachilna, where native ingredients land on the table.
Every night under a rooftop tent or a station roof. No coaches. No crowds. A convoy of ten, in a country most people only drive over at cruise altitude.

Seasons as MasterChef Australia judge
11
Gary built his career in Michelin-starred kitchens in London — under Michel Bourdan at the Connaught and Peter Kromberg at Le Souffle — before opening Fenix in Melbourne, which he ran for fourteen years. Eleven seasons judging MasterChef Australia made him one of the most recognised food personalities in the country.
He's also a committed motorcyclist. His SBS series Far Flung combined food and bikes across Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Japan, and India. The relationships he built on those rides — street vendors in Saigon, highland coffee growers, Michelin chefs — aren't contacts. They're people he's eaten with, ridden with, and gone back to.

Adam has spent fifteen years at Ironman 4×4, now leading product development for the company that built its reputation equipping Australian vehicles for the conditions most manufacturers design around. He's kitted out 30,000 Ford Rangers for the US Military in Iraq and Afghanistan, factory-fitted Nissans for South Africa, and supplied the UN and police forces abroad. The job runs on one rule — he won't ship what he wouldn't fit to his own vehicle.
He grew up planning camping trips with his father, and he hasn't really stopped. When he's not in remote Australia testing product, he's in Mansfield, Victoria, running Buller Road Brewery — a side project that started as beer and a kitchen in the High Country, and turned into a second business within four months of opening.
