To complement our 4WD training courses and outback tours, we've developed a unique, fun and educational Outback Skills Training Course for city-slickers.

The one-day session has been created especially for urban holidaymakers ‘going bush’ and for personnel working in remote areas.

The course provides an invaluable introduction to Basic Bush Mechanics and Basic Bush Survival Skills and covers such topics as risk management, recovery and emergency equipment, vehicle capability, typical problems encountered in the bush, emergency communications, basic mechanical knowledge, bush ‘fix-it’ skills and basic bush survival techniques. It incorporates role-playing, interaction and a fun, educational, group survival exercise. Participants also receive a workbook and morning and afternoon tea.

The course is delivered by Global Gypsies’ Director, Jeremy Perks, and the content is based on his life experiences and proven mechanical and bush survival skills. Jeremy served as an officer in the elite forces of the South African Defence Force (similar to SAS) for many years, has over 20 years’ 4WD bush driving experience in Australia and Africa and is a qualified mechanic (petrol and diesel). He holds a Certificate IV in Workplace Training & Assessment is a former Tour Guide of the Year, a nationally accredited Eco Guide and head of the Global Gypsies training team.
