Desert Dwellers

Well… someone had to do it. 😎

Today we put Kayo’s new 350 side-by-side buggy through its paces, and let’s just say it didn’t disappoint.

Plenty of power, smooth handling, comfortable ride, and enough grunt to put a smile on your face every time you put your foot down. Whether it’s for the property, the campsite, or just a bit of fun, this thing is an absolute weapon.

We’re still finding excuses to keep driving it… purely for “testing purposes” of course. 😉

Keep an eye out for more photos and videos coming soon.

Now in store - order yours today!!

WOW… what a Finke! 🤯

We just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who dropped into Desert Dwellers over the Finke week.

This year was our biggest Finke ever, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support from locals, visitors, racers, pit crews, campers, and everyone in between.

Whether you stopped in for a last-minute spare part, camping gear, gas, recovery gear, a cold drink, or just a chat, we truly appreciate every single one of you.

The town was buzzing, the race was spectacular, it was fantastic to see so many people enjoying everything Central Australia has to offer.

From our family and team to yours, thank you for supporting local and making this a record-breaking Finke for Desert Dwellers.

Now it’s time for us to catch our breath, restock the shelves, and do it all again next year! 🏁🏕️

See you in store soon,
The Desert Dwellers Team

Big chains might have the buying power… but locals have the heart. ❤️

When you shop local, you’re not funding a CEO’s fifth holiday house, you’re helping local families pay bills, support local sports clubs, employ local staff and keep our town alive.

Every dollar spent locally stays in the community longer. It helps keep doors open, lights on and locals employed.

We know sometimes it’s easier to click “add to cart” online… but nothing beats real service, real advice and walking out with what you need today.

So next time you need camping gear, 4x4 accessories, gifts, or just a bit of advice, think local first.

Because small businesses remember your name, support your events and back the community year round.

Shop local. Support local. Keep Alice strong. 🤝

YES! We’re open this Saturday for all your camping needs!

8:30am - 2:30pm

Bit of a real one today…

Running a small, independent business isn’t always the fun side you see on socials. Behind the scenes, we’re dealing with things that honestly just suck like people switching lids on YETI products.

It might seem small, but it’s not.
When lids get swapped, it leaves us with incomplete stock that we can’t sell and that costs us money. Real money. The kind that keeps the lights on, pays staff, and keeps products on the shelves for everyone else.
We’re not a major chain, we started with a few pallets of stock and have managed to grow into what we are today.

The frustrating part?
YETI lids are available to purchase separately. There’s no need to swap them.

At the end of the day, switching lids isn’t harmless it’s stealing.

We back our community, and we know the majority of our customers do the right thing (and we appreciate you more than you know). But this kind of behaviour hurts small businesses like ours.

If you need a different lid, just ask us we’ll sort you out properly.

We also have cameras, so we have actual footage of the two people who did this one on Saturday.

Let’s look after local 👍
