Anthony, the newest member of the Sydney Weekender team, has gone all military on us in armoured vehicles near the Southern Highlands.
Armoured Vehicle Adventures
These guys have armoured vehicles for hire by the hour. Once you hire the vehicle, it's yours for the hire period. There are no age restrictions...if you can reach and work the pedals and see out, you can have a go. You can have as many people drive it as you like. A qualified instructor stays with the vehicle and guides you. Each vehicle carries 9 to 10 people. Why not bring your family or get a group of friends together and create an adventure day or weekend. And there’s only one rule, have fun.
They are located at Tugalong Station near Moss Vale, just off the Hume Highway, half way between Sydney and Canberra. That is about 1½ hours drive from Liverpool in Sydney, and two hours from Canberra.

Tugalong Station
About 154km or 1 hour 45 mins in the car on 5340 acres, Tugalong Outback Station is set high in the Wollondilly Ranges on a ridge in Canyonleigh and sits at the junction of the Wollondilly and Wingecarribee Rivers overlooking their gorges.
It’s a working cattle and sheep property as well as a Quarter Horse Stud. The station is run by Danny and Pat Pearson and is very much a family affair. They offer a variety of activities including Horse Riding, 4WD Tours, Night Wildlife Tours, Canoeing, Sheep Shearing & Sheep Mustering and Bushwalking.
The accommodation is quite basic but all rooms have their own bathroom and are heated and serviced daily. The accommodation is divided into the Old and New Wings but are very similar in style. The Lodge has a pool, spa and sauna, and a central fireplace with lounge chairs and pool table for people to socialize and chill out. All meals are provided when you stay there and you’re guaranteed good hearty Australian tucker.
