Just days after surviving lightning storms, bushfires and extreme heat on the Gunbarrel Highway, we turn south into even more remote country. The Connie Sue Highway is one of Australia’s most isolated desert tracks, running deep through the Great Victoria Desert between the Great Central Road and Rawlinna. It’s a track I’ve never driven before, which means from here on… we’re heading into the unknown. With temperatures pushing 50°C in the Australian outback, exhaustion setting in and bushfires still burning nearby, the trip quickly turns into a test of endurance for both the crew and the vehicles. Along the way we discover what a desert fire can really do to the landscape, cross burnt-out country that looks like something from another planet, and push deeper into the desert while constantly monitoring storms, wind direction and potential fire movement. This episode also continues the real-world test of the INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster, putting it through extreme desert heat, tight bush tracks, sand dunes and rough outback terrain. But the biggest challenge isn’t the driving. It’s the heat, the flies, the exhaustion… and trying to stay ahead of the storms rolling across the desert. Eventually the desert gives way to the vast open plains of the Nullarbor, where the crew finally gets a chance to recover after one of the toughest stretches of the trip.
