OzRock Photo Gallery

Here are a few photos I've taken at OzRock events. These are custom-built buggies usually with a V8 engine, four wheel drive and four wheel steering. They also feature hydraulic rams on each wheel that are adjusted by the driver so they can climb over boulders and straddle large gaps.

This is a very new form of motorsport in Australia and it's fun to watch. I'm continually amazed at the positions these vehicles get into and how they manage to get up and down seemingly impossible rock faces.

Visit the OzRock website if you want more details.
