Jeep 4x4 Vehicles Perth: Droving Or Driving?

One of bush poet Andrew ‘Banjo’ Paterson's poems, Clancy of the Overflow, describes the life of a nineteenth century drover, and the pleasures to be had from a life spent out in the vast, open bush. He writes:

In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy
Gone a-droving `down the Cooper' where the Western drovers go;
As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing,
For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know.

No doubt the life of drovers like 'Clancy' could be hard, dirty and dangerous at times. But they were also free, happy and a world away from the grime and noise of the city. As Australians, we have some of the world's most beautiful wilderness right on our doorstep. We can head out of Perth and find ourselves in exactly the same landscape that Clancy drove his cattle through all those years ago.

Of course, these days we won't be droving cattle through the Outback, we'll be driving Jeep 4x4 vehicles from Perth. Whichever Jeep you choose, you can be sure that it will take you anywhere you want to go. You can take on the great Australian bush on your own terms, and unlike Clancy, you won't have a few hundred cattle to watch over while you do it. Take the Jeep Wrangler Perth, instantly recognisable and strong enough that it can take on even the toughest, rockiest terrain. Or the Jeep Patriot Perth, with smooth good looks and an array of features designed to give it fantastic off-road capability. Throughout the Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge ranges there are cars that are both luxurious and rugged. Some of them are happiest on the roads, but others will take you a very long way away from them.

Modern city life has plenty of advantages, with shopping, nightlife and work all close at hand. But somehow, it's just not quite enough, is it? It's easy to get bogged down in the daily grind, and to forget about the huge expanse of the Outback which lies so tantalisingly close, just waiting to be explored. If you find yourself absent-mindedly gazing out of the office window, wishing you were out under that endless blue sky, do something about it. As Banjo Paterson put it:

And I somehow fancy that I'd like to change with Clancy,
Like to take a turn at droving where the seasons come and go,
While he faced the round eternal of the cashbook and the journal -
But I doubt he'd suit the office, Clancy, of "The Overflow".
