YOUR TOUR GUIDES & OUR VEHICLE

Norman (Greenfield) Bee and Coralie Bee of Pindan Tours and 4WD Training are based in Quorn and are the owners of the business. Norman is the lead 4WD Trainer and Assessor and lead 4WD Tour guide and has owned and operated 4WD vehicles for over 40 years and driven over 1.5 million kilometres all over Australia spending much of his time touring & working in the Australian Outback and is passionate about 4WD Training & 4WD Touring in Australia.

Norm has had a very long involvement with 4WDriving, touring and camping in the Outback. He started camping regularly at 13 and got his first 4WD at 17. He delivered his first itinerised tour in 1983 - a 2 week tour up to the Red Centre and back down the Oodnadatta Track and into the Flinders Ranges. His family background was in the Pastoral industry and he frequently spent time on the family Station in the NW of S.A. when he was growing up. We have travelled extensively all over mainland Australia as a family on many of the iconic 4WD tracks and Norm has often worked in the Outback on various stations during his career as a builder, leading tours all over Australia and now as a contract 4WDriver. 

A regional family owned business, Pindan Tours and 4WD Training was created to deliver safe, high quality and affordable 4WD Training to the Nationally Accredited level for private recreational 4WDriver's, Corporate clients and Government departments. We specialise in regional 4WD training from the Mid North of S.A. northwards to Alice Springs, across to Ceduna and east to Broken Hill and all points in between!

Norm and his wife Coralie, are also dedicated to delivering Responsible & Respectful Tourism and providing informative and enjoyable 4WD Tours for travellers who are staying in the Flinders Ranges or are joining us to explore the remote Outback and it’s our passion for the Flinders Ranges & Outback that really makes our tours come alive!

Norman has direct family ties and pastoral history in the Flinders Ranges, in particular to Kanyaka Station, and to the North West Pastoral region of Outback South Australia, where he lived on the family station (Purple Downs) for a while. Norman & Coralie were also sheep farmers in S.A.'s Mid North for 13 years themselves.

Coralie has a Bachelor and Master’s degrees in science and an Education Degree and a passion for, and a wealth of knowledge about native Flora and Fauna and is an Arid Lands Botanical Garden Tour Guide in Port Augusta. She compliments Norman on their Tag along Tours when guests want to learn more about specific plant species & flowers and native fauna and she is also a volunteer Ambulance Responder, so you're in safe hands on our Tag along Tours!

They maintain their training skills through their constant quality 4WD Training delivery and through industry training via networking (e.g. buying, using & testing new products and methods, etc.), video links and best practice by other leading 4WD trainers like themselves.

They both have Digital Photography course qualifications and can help you with taking better photographs, utilising the various settings on your camera and Norm also operates a drone, for some spectacular outback photography on their tours.

Together, Norman & Coralie have safely led many 4WD trips over the last 25 years throughout Australia, including day, weekend and extended trips from 2 to 13 weeks long into remote areas of Australia. Trips have included destinations like the Flinders Ranges, the Corner Country, Simpson Desert, Great Victoria Desert, Gibson Desert, many remote Outback regions in South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales & the Northern Territory, as well as trips to Fraser Island, the Diamantina & Channel Country of Queensland, the Pilbara & Pilbara Coast, through the Kimberley's, Kakadu and the Coral Coast of W.A. as well as many iconic 4WD tracks, to name a few.
